Before there was the Internet there was the Freenets and before my Fifth Column blog and GPS maps site, my YouTube channel, as well as my former BrandX account and my Mastodon presence here there was the Bridlewood Electromagnetic Fields (#EMFs) Information Service, that I created and managed and wrote most of, on the National Capital Freenet (#NCF), first in freenet format and later in HTML.

When I stopped updating it I took it down, something I sort of regret now BUT there is still a mirror of the non-frames version of the site here:

Report on a fascist organisation in the UK calling for Civil War

Blatantly violent racist rhetoric in Peter Whittle's "New Culture Forum" YouTube comments section to "UK Civil War" video - Lemmy

The New Culture Forum (NCF) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Whittle_(politician)#New_Culture_Forum] is a think tank founded by nationalist UKIP politician Peter Whittle. The video [https://youtu.be/eOR8NhL09JQ] in question is an interview with KCL war and “fortifications” specialist David Betz [https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/professor-david-j-betz], who forecasts civil war outbreaks in [https://www.militarystrategymagazine.com/article/civil-war-comes-to-the-west/] the Western world, and praises Hungary as an island of sanity [https://www.hungarianconservative.com/articles/interview/hungary_-stupid-wars_west-russia-ukraine_peace_david-betz_interview/]. The amount of racist violent rhetoric in the comments is disturbing, and the chosen topic of a civil war, is not a good look for the supporters of these ideas. Long story short, there are numerous people in the comments seething to shed blood because they don’t like seeing brown people in their midst. The comments echo the aftermath of the widespread far-right anti-immigrant riots last August in England and Northern Ireland. The comment section reeks of the white supremacist Great Replacement theory. Whittle’s NCF seems to be embedded in an ecosystem of consent manufacturing right-wing, fossil fuel lobbying think tanks [https://web.archive.org/web/20250310124059/https://www.desmog.com/2025/03/10/i-spent-3-days-at-jordan-petersons-anti-climate-arc-conference-heres-what-i-saw/], active in the UK, and linked to conservative politicians. For context, it was recently [https://www.ft.com/content/d7cbb26a-57b8-4fd5-ac5b-00de25d53a0e] reported that Musk showed an interest to interfere in [https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/musk-says-farage-should-step-down-leader-reform-uk-2025-01-05/] British far-right politics. We can at least conclude that there are some powerful consent manufacturing apparatuses at play in England, and an invigorated far-right dynamic and anti-immigrant sentiment. This is some scary stuff. Shady actors like these do not pour their money in a Western democracy for no good reason, and it is only plausible that some shit is going down in a country where the political weaponization [https://www.nbcnews.com/video/u-k-using-trans-people-as-political-weapon-says-scotland-s-first-minister-160021573789] of trans people by the conservative party, has led to an early implementation of the anti-transgender health policy legislation [https://ruthpearce.net/2024/04/16/whats-wrong-with-the-cass-review-a-round-up-of-commentary-and-evidence/] now considered central in the US fascist [https://www.lemkininstitute.com/statements-new-page/statement-on-the-genocidal-nature-of-the-gender-critical-movement%E2%80%99s-ideology-and-practice] takeover.

I had a good pup meet at Jitters and Critters. It was with #NCF-PAH at Felicitous Coffee. Met a bunch of lovely pups, and it's always nice to be part of the community. The shop's a nice cute place and LGBTQ+ friendly.

@rjohnston #NCF's announcement was the first I'd heard of #Hiboo as well, offering #Fibre internet that isn't built on #Bell's infrastructure. Glad to see #Bell has some competition in #ottawa though it's apparently only an Enterprise option, not being offered to retail customers.

New College of Florida is really on the ball, developing some core curricula three weeks before the semester begins.

Anyone think that's going to work when they haven't even hired faculty yet? "But, they're looking" doesn't count.

#NCF #DeSantisIsAnIdiot

Read this whole thing. It's massive professional malpractice from the administration. I feel so bad for the people there who are trying to hold the place together. And for the students? Just awful...

Chaos at New College of Florida

With the start of the semester two weeks away, students are grappling with absent professors, canceled classes and severe housing woes.
