Jeff Bezos, the multi-billionaire Amazon founder, wants to cheat death, simply because he can’t bear leaving all his money behind when he pops his clogs. This is why he’s putting a substantial amount of his money into Altos Labs, a company that is searching for the secret to rejuvenation, and for life extension.
The new company, incorporated in the US and in the UK earlier this year, will establish several institutes in places including the Bay Area, San Diego, Cambridge, UK and Japan, and is recruiting a large cadre of university scientists with lavish salaries and the promise that they can pursue unfettered blue-sky research on how cells age and how to reverse that process.
Scientist, Shinya Yamanaka, will be heading the team. Apart from jointly winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2012, he experimented with mice, successfully adding four proteins to cells, now known as Yamanaka factors, they can be instructed to revert to a primitive state with the properties of embryonic stem cells. Unfortunately, although partially successful, the mice grew embryonic tumours, even though there were signs of skin rejuvenation.
There is a growing urgency in Silicon Valley for research into anti-ageing and rejuvenation, as many Big Tech billionaires see time running out for them. Yes, they have amassed huge fortunes by putting their money offshore and avoiding taxation, but dying will mean they will lose all that money. Bezos’ $200bn fortune, paid just £293m in tax in 2019 despite the company collecting UK sales of $17.5bn that year. Everyone fears death to a point, however this feeling of despair is punctuated further by those who are billionaires, for it is their ultimate greed for money and power that has driven them to amass such vast sums of cash, and yet, these people cannot buy eternal life or life extension with their billions. They are thus stuck, and it is their very own greed which defeats them in the end as they take their last breath and their brains shut down forever. Death is therefore the only equaliser left in this greed driven, soulless, plastic society of Big Tech billionaires.
One can imagine Bozos waking up in the middle of the night to check his bank balance, he is all sweated through, it’s his birthday, another foot in the grave, billions of dollars are at stake here. He has to cheat death, anything will do, anything!
The Chinese Communist Party’s education ministry is cutting down on effeminate weak ‘sissy men’, as espoused by the likes of K-Pop boy bands.
The feminization of boys in China is a real fear, as the country wants their men to be masculine and not weak delicate effeminate ponces prancing around with makeup and coiffured hair.
“The sissy fagg*tization of our young men is a real worry for the Party. We have to enrol all young men for gym classes, and stop the feminization of our prospective People’s Liberation Army future soldiers,” Qu Yong Li, a senior minister at the Education Ministry, told the state-run Xinhua News Agency.
The feminization of Chinese boys is “a direct threat to the development and survival of our nation.”
Demoralized West
Qu Yong Li, added: “We cannot have our soldiers sashaying down catwalks with their preened gay haircuts and makeup.
“In the West, men are indoctrinated to think masculinity is a crime, their young men are effectively psychologically castrated by the feminists from pre-school onwards. We, in China, need to turn away from this terrible crime, and inculcate strong masculine traits in our boys, so they are not weak f*ggots like Western men.”
Seems like the Chinese Communist Party is preparing for war, with strong men making strong soldiers, while the U.S. Army under Biden is more concerned with LGBTQP catwalks for their soldiers.
Sometimes, the most interesting and beautiful things in life happen unexpectedly! After all, we live in the digital era where we can connect easily with people from all around the world. A privilege that nowadays we take for granted, but people back in the 80s, 90s or even 00s never dreamed of.
Sannios has a fondness for what this digital social media era can offer and what has achieved for him.
He recalls: “During the first few months at Berklee College of Music, I was following
and adding fellow musicians on my social media platforms. I was a newcomer in the USA and I wanted to make as many connections as possible. In my mind, it was a typical thing and the best that I was expecting was adding a couple of good friends, a good rehearsal, forming my band, discussions about the classes and music in general.
I am a very communicative personality and after my graduation my intention was to move to LA, so I wanted to start making connections there. It all started with a random
question that I asked one of my friends.”
This random question would direct him to a series of events that led him to come in contact with many of the most accomplished musicians in LA.
“Delfi in my country Greece was regarded, by mythology, the “navel” (Omphalos) the centre of the world. Los Angeles is the “Delfi”, the “navel”, the centre of where the heart of music and film industry beats.’’
The story of John Sannios shows that everything is possible and that sometimes it only needs a starting point that can be just a question, or a discussion with a friend.
The new contact in LA was Francois Blaignan, an award-winning sound designer and producer. He is also a Berklee College of Music Alumnus with distinctions and important projects in his portfolio.
From left – Francois Blaignan, John Sannios at Blaignan’s Los Angeles studio.
He has worked on many nominated and awarded projects, such as the Academy Award-winning films “The thin Red Line” and “The Last Days”. He has worked on big multimedia projects like the “Avengers Station”. He has used Tinitus studios in LA for the needs of projects like “Star Trek: First Contact” (1996), “Human Nature” (2002) and many more.
While collaborating with Francois Blaignan on the sound of “MyShake” app in “Tinitus” he had the chance to meet the film and television composer Richard Friedman, well known in the performing arts for his dramatic and orchestral scores. His music has been licensed worldwide and used by directors and producers such as Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino and many others.

“I was thrilled to get to know him because I always admired his work! We agreed that there is a number of projects where my involvement with the sound design, orchestration, music editing in combination with my personal audio plug-ins setup was very much needed.
Meanwhile, we worked on the film “Mind Talker” where Richard Friedman is the music director. I was grateful that in a short period of time I had the chance to come in contact with such important and well-known figures of the industry.’’
Living in LA, Sannios had the chance to meet the fellow Greek award-winning film composer Kostas Christides with numerous credits to his name as a composer of original scores and as an orchestrator.
Kostas has been awarded for “Best Original Music” at Bare Bone International Film Festival and “Best Impact Of Music” at Park City Film Music Festival for his work in the film “29 Reasons To Run”. He is also the recipient of the “Best Original Score” award at the “Greek State Film Awards 2006” for his work in the German-Greek production “Eduart“. He has composed music for “The Stan Lee Story”, “Love Happens” (Universal), “Black Tulip” (Fox), “Perkins” 14 (Lions Gate), “Untraceable” (Paramount), “Dark Ride” (Lions Gate) amongst others.
“For me, getting involved in another promising collaboration, especially with a fellow Greek composer, was something more than welcome. I was aware of Kostas worldwide success back in Greece. I admire his orchestral textures and the clever way that Kostas brings every instrument of his entire orchestra out, allowing them to shine. The way he underscores the heightened emotions in combination with his complicated percussive patterns gives a warm character to his work. It always brings out emotions and highlights what matters the most.
With Kostas Christides we have an ongoing collaboration with work that includes music editing for a psychological thriller and music and foley editing for a documentary.’’
Working backstage was something new for Sannios as he was already a successful singer/songwriter and performer.
As he says: “I moved to LA during the pandemic. Working with people in the film scoring industry allowed me to enter a different environment from the one that I had used to. It was for me a new and alternative way of approaching music as a whole. This environment deals with music that is composed and recorded to fit the story of a film and to adhere to a strict timecode. You have to delve into the mental space of the movie and immerse yourself in a specific music genre or culture, and at the same time make critical decisions on things like instrumentation and sound design that can affect the overall outcome of the production. I can say that I like and enjoy both worlds, and I feel happy and fortunate that I opened that door.”
Everything happens for a reason and Sannios with his story is a living proof and grateful about it.
Holidaymakers are being subjected to over 5-hour waits in queues to re-enter Britain at Heathrow, but one family returning from their Spanish holiday found a quicker and easier way into the country.
“We took a flight to France, then went to Calais, where we bought a rubber dinghy for 40 euros. All four of us including our two kids and luggage fitted perfectly. For safety, we found some life jackets on the beach, perfectly wearable. Dover is that way, I pointed. Paddling away, we were twenty minutes into the trip when a French Navy frigate turned up. They explained that they could tow us most of the way across the Channel as a courtesy. We just sat back and enjoyed the view, the lovely French even dropped off some tasty baguettes filled with brie, and a bottle of chardonnay. On the way, we passed over 30 dinghies full of people, they too were being pulled by French Navy ships. Everyone was very cheerful, laughing and waving at us. In no time, we could see the white chalky Cliffs of Dover, and we all cheered. It was an ‘au revoir’ from our French friends, and we paddled for five minutes until the British coast guard turned up. They cheerfully said we would be towed to port, so we sat back once again, and enjoyed the VIP service. Arriving at shore, we were greeted by friendly border control staff who gave us blankets and hot cups of tea. We were then put on a bus and driven to a four star hotel for a full slap up meal and hot showers in our luxury rooms. They even gave us all vouchers worth £200 each to spend as we please. The mini bar was fully stocked, and the rib eye steak was delicious from room service. With tears in our eyes, we reluctantly left to go back home to London,” Philip Fetherlite, 45, revealed.
No 5-hour queues were involved at any stage of the trip home.
We live in a fast-paced, ever-changing digital world, and the many technologies that see the light of day are clear proof of technology’s march forward. Tech solutions are entering every area of life and bringing changes to many varying fields. Amongst these are the world of sports, where technology is continuing to make its mark.
The introduction of technology in sports has made a huge impact on the game itself. It influences how it is played and ultimately how it is improved. With increased technological advances, referees in a football match can make sure that decisions made in the game are correct. This is naturally changing the course of the game, as any decision a referee makes should be supported by solid proof, in contrast to how the matches played out in the past. The introduction of technology to serve the game has occurred during the last 10-20 years, and the world of sports tech is continuing to grow daily.
Technology in the field of sports betting
There has probably never been a bigger technological advance in the industry of gambling than the one in sports betting. The fact that sports fans can watch the game online live while betting or having placed a bet, might seem obvious today, but it was not long ago that this service never existed. Now the bookmakers’ websites host matches and games in live-streaming, providing fans with a package solution as an extra service to punters.
The increase in technological advances is probably one of the reasons that betting has become so popular during the past few years. People can combine entertainment with excitement from their couch, making betting accessible for anybody. With sites like https://betting.com/gb/, any sports fan can find statistics on the matches and the odds and find a good bookmaker. Besides the easy access, the rise of tech solutions in betting has made in-game predictions much more solid, as every match is analysed and used to add more statistical data on the teams and players.
A technological game-changer
In football, the use of sports tech is apparent through the detailed analysis of the games, calculating which team has the best ball possession amongst many other statistical variables.
The fact that sports technology can track any type of sport has naturally made a big difference in how matches, races, and games are being played. Before the technological solutions, we were not able to follow sports as closely and as intensely as we can today. We have thus become accustomed to having masses of sports data at any time, and constantly get updates and information on teams and player statistics.
Our need to be involved in the latest events is naturally causing sports tech to grow as an industry, simply because of high demand. We perceive an exponential increase in the amount of information and statistical data on sports and matches than twenty years ago, as the introduction of sports tech is providing us with the possibility to come even closer to the players. It is a certainty that sports tech will continue to increase in the future causing the industry to also grow.
Under The Hague Convention, lawyers for former prostitute, Virginia Giuffre who claims she was forced to have sex with Andrew on three occasions in 2001, must present U.S. lawsuit legal papers to Prince Andrew in person by December 7, 2021, or the case will collapse. Prince Andrew vehemently denies all allegations made against him.
The lawsuit filed in Manhattan, has to be handed to Prince Andrew by hand by Ms. Giuffre’s lawyer, David Boies, however gaining access to the prince is not an easy task.
In this respect, all Andrew has to do now is keep a very low profile in one of the palaces, and keep within safe grounds where he can benefit from royal security keeping the paps and lawyers out.
After December 7, the case will be thrown out, and Prince Andrew will be safe and sound.
The Americans have no jurisdiction in the UK, and are thus powerless, especially as the prince had diplomatic immunity during his time as a Trade Envoy, on the date the lawsuit is based.
That means no trips to the Pizza Express in Woking anytime soon for you sir…
The definition of madness is doing the same thing over, and over again and expecting different results. Just as the moment of schools opening in Scotland showed a doubling in Covid infections, the opening of schools in England and Wales will see a quadrupling of Covid-19 infections.
“I’ve got the kids all set up, new pencils, shoes, shirts, trousers, so when they contract Covid at school, they can come home on the bus and spread the virus everywhere. It’s vital they spread the virus to their grandparents, and other vulnerable people, so they can enjoy the benefits of Covid-19 as well,” a jovial parent remarked.
UK Daily Deaths attributed to COVID-19, 2020- Jan 2021
Virus update:
• India boosts virus vaccination rates.
• Oxygen supplies grow precarious amid U.S. surge.
• Italy braces for train track protests against COVID passes.
• Texas school system closes after two teachers die.
Boris Johnson has calmly remarked that he will tolerate 50,000 deaths per annum, however, the winter Covid wave thanks to superspreader schools and universities, will most probably involve 50,000 deaths per month. Everything is now open, and no one wears any masks anymore. There are, of course, other variables involved, such as viral mutations that make vaccines useless, and the slow decay of vaccine efficacy over time.
The C.1.2 ‘high consequence variant’ possesses multiple mutations that bypass current vaccines and allow the spread of the virus more freely than the Delta variant. First discovered in South Africa, cases of this variant have already been found across Europe and the UK.
Yes, economic necessity is a reason to open all areas where the public can spend money, and the Brexit economy is doing wonderfully, but where does one cross the line between economic matters and the workers dying off? The West is still not technologically advanced enough in robotics and AI to replace the entire workforce. We can see the disparity in the workforce when we look at British lorry driver shortages, which have resulted in empty shop shelves. Brexit Britain must ensure that British lorry drivers return to the workforce with financial incentives.
In the future, technology will have advanced enough to replace all driver jobs, as well as all other sectors, bringing additional problems to the fore. However, that is another story all together.
The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the “agentur” of the “Illuminati” between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other.
Meanwhile, the other nations, once more divided on this issue, will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion… We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil.
Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view.
This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time. August 15, 1871
One can take whatever they want from the above quotation, however, if you are to take one thought, it will be its prescient nature, especially to the times we are living in right now.
Along with disease, inequality, and religious zealotry, the world is faced with acute levels of pollution and diminishing finite resources due to massive levels of overpopulation. It is inevitable that change into the New Age will eventually arise. The question is always how and when?
Only Lucifer knows the answer to that question, apparently…
As the last American boarded his plane out of Afghanistan, the feckless Western media, immediately bandied around headlines of the ‘end of Afghanistan’ and other similar naive headlines. No! This is not the END of Afghanistan, but the BEGINNING.
Thanks to Joe Biden, and his weak administration, we now have the most technologically equipped terrorist enemy in the world. The Biden administration left behind over $63 billion worth of high-tech military equipment, not only for the Taliban, but for Al-Qaeda and ISIS.
Another video of Celebratory gunfire from #Taliban fighters shooting tracer rounds into #Kabul‘s night sky after #US withdrawal.
“Afghanistan now has its own Air Force, we have Blackhawk helicopters, Chinooks, Lockheed C-130 Hercules, fighter planes, and the best night vision and weapons for our Islamic soldiers. The explosives and ammunition left behind will arm our soldiers for centuries. Thank you, Joe Biden, Allah thanks you, for the Islamic Jihad will now continue without anyone to stop us,” a Taliban commander revealed from the now repatriated Kabul airport.
Trained pilots and maintenance staff for the U.S. planes and helicopters are already being sourced from Russia and China. Repairs are already underway to damaged aircraft. Afghan pilots will also be trained.
Indeed, this is definitely not the end of Afghanistan, but the beginning. The Islamic Sharia law meted out by the newly armed Taliban and its affiliates will most certainly spread across its borders. Europe and the United States are once again in extreme danger, because the terrorist training camps are now back in play. Western interests will once again be on the attack list, soft targets ripe for the harvesting, the weak West a paradise for bombs and random killings by crazed Jihadists trained with the most up-to-date U.S. military weaponry.
The terrorists now will work only with the best equipment, thanks to America. They will use that equipment to cause as much damage to the West as they can. Using the military equipment that Joe Biden gifted them will certainly add to the fatal irony of the whole unfortunate business.
Meanwhile, China and Russia, will benefit fully from the chaos of the bungled Afghan withdrawal. China is already eyeing up the trillions of dollars worth of rare earths and minerals in Afghanistan, and Russia will simply sit back and watch for their opportunities.
There are now no Western journalists in Afghanistan, and the Taliban can execute their purge of all staff who aided the Afghan Vichy government without any form of faux outrage from Western reporters. The Hazara Shia Afghans will soon all be rounded up and deleted from existence. Of course, it’s a long list of people to dispatch for the Taliban, but they will complete their genocide in quiet silence over time. The West, fatigued by the entire disastrous campaign may get a few reports here or there, but it will all be glossed over as it won’t matter any more.
The Afghan Islamic Jihadist Caliphate, a heavily armed and trained force, is just beginning its ultimate journey and the fun is about to commence, possibly in a town/airport/mall/train/bus near you.
The #Taliban have released a video showing how they have taken control of #Kabul‘s airport after the last #US plane left its runway.

The last flight out of Kabul airport was a real success for Joe Biden’s evacuation of Afghanistan.
Specialist Josh Wankinski, of the 2nd Battalion, 8th Regiment, U.S. Marine Corps. was proudly holding a see-through takeaway box in his hands with a single cockroach inside. As the C-30 plane sped up for takeoff, the Marines cheered wildly, and it seems the cockroach was somewhat happy too to be leaving the godforsaken, dusty, hell-hole of Afghanistan, as well.
“My commanding officer got a call a few days ago direct from the White House. Apparently, U.S. embassy staff had a pet cockroach they affectionately called ‘Joe Biden’ that had been left behind. We still had one Afghan translator and his seven kids to evacuate, but the White House insisted that Joe the cockroach was more important,” the Marine explained.
On Wednesday, at 04.30 hours, a platoon of Marines risked their lives to rescue the cockroach from the shuttered embassy on Bibi Mahru road, District 10. They managed to avoid the numerous Taliban patrols there and back, but were spotted by unknown gunmen only 1.7 km from the airport.
During the ensuing firefight, two Marines lost their lives, and one 21-year-old Marine had both of his legs blown off by .50 calibre rounds, but thankfully the cockroach ‘Joe’ was unhurt.
White House officials emphatically denied any negligence and insisted that the cockroach rescue was an integral part of the entire operation.
“Mr. Biden was adamant that Joe the cockroach should be rescued at all costs, because he wants to be seen as a true humanitarian, a giver of life, even to cockroaches,” fawning MSNBC anchor, Rachel Madcow, chirped during her sycophantic broadcast, after hearing of the heroic rescue.
UPDATE: Joe the cockroach is doing just fine. He now lives in the Oval Office, in a glass box, on Joe Biden’s desk. Staffers sometimes get confused to whom they’re talking to during briefing sessions. Joe or Joe?
