Some frank admissions by the chief editor of the Lancet in 2015, repeating what was told him under Chatham House rules at the Wellcome Trust—the massive health policy organisation (second only to the Gates Foundation in clout) which since 2015 has busied itself minutely co-ordinating Western nations’ pandemic preparedness plans.

I’m just hanging on to see who my two thousandth subscriber will be. We’ve just had Lance Corporal Boiled Egg and Heather McCartney join us. Welcome one, welcome all.

Yes, it was priceless. Her type “in politics” isn’t exactly used to being told “I’m not going to debate you … it’s irrelevant” in response to “Well, it happened to me …”

“Madam, you are epidemiologically irrelevant”—the put-down of 2022.

One of UK Column’s star researchers sent me this. It’s worth meditating on.

It’s just been suggested that if Mike Yeadon had gone super saiyan on GB News, it would have been akin to watching Return of the Jedi without having seen The Empire Strikes Back first. This reminds me of a quip by a senior NSA transcriber trying to explain to managers why NSA and GCHQ intelligence was sometimes frustratingly bitty:
“In Scooby Doo, the bad guys start their phone calls with, ‘Hey Joe, you remember we were discussing where to plant the bomb?’ —‘Which bomb, Bert?’ — ‘Why, you know, Joe, the bomb that the Dark Lord wanted us to detonate at seven o’clock on Hallowe’en.’ In the real world, people don’t rehash last episode at the start of each call. Deal with it.”

Our two thousandth member has the not readily forgettable name of Zizblats Diamond. Welcome! Your prize is a cold tin of Dutch baked beans, as long as you collect it in person from my home. Masks not required for access to property.

Send Zizblats and all our imprisoned cousins Down Under some love.

Thank you for your excellent channel, if I am ever allowed out of Aus I will happily collect my prize.

And with that, this channel closes for the Lord’s Day until Monday morning. I will, however, be uploading Christian content tomorrow: at least the promised reading instalment of Thomas Brooks’ Precious Remedies against Satan’s Devices (see one of the pinned posts above), and possibly a psalm reading.
The LORD be with you.

If you don’t have a regular local Christian fellowship, listen to Providence Baptist, Cheltenham, at 11 am and 6:30 pm GMT. They also have a Wednesday Bible study at 7:30 pm.
Rev. Pooyan Mehrshahi is a highly gifted man (like most of his fellow Persians) and has proved utterly faithful to the cause of Christ and the historic preaching of the Gospel. He encouraged me mightily in my GCHQ years. He has strong links with Northern Irish churches, which partly accounts for his soundness.
In a couple of months’ time, Pooyan hopes to preach a series on what the Scriptures actually say about the responsibilities of government and the response of Christians.
Unlike so many preachers, Pooyan has studied the Scriptures deeply and consistently, in the original languages, and teaches from the King James Bible.

Ever found yourself regretting that you had to be born in a time of such awful decline, in such a sinning nation? Ever caught yourself shrinking from what you know to be the right course of action because you’re afraid of dying “early”?

This is the hymn to teach your spirit and to pull you back from the hopeless fate of being “found to fight against God” (Acts 5:39).

A Russian Evangelical hymn in praise of the Creator’s omnipresence and immutability. “I see God every day … in nature … in our hearts … in the songs He gives, more precious than bread.”

This is a Southern Saturday night singing.

The service is just starting at Providence Baptist Church, Cheltenham, for those without a local fellowship to attend.

A Gospel chorus for the burdened.

Satan’s device No. 2: to paint sin with virtue’s colours. (Thomas Brooks)

The Apostles’ Creed in the Geneva Psalter setting, Dutch translation of Petrus Datheen (1556). Sung by three young sisters, with the melody in the middle voice. Sorry for the poor quality but this is an exceptional and rare harmonisation, a flowering of the substantial Bible belt that’s still soldiering on over here.

Final piece of Christian encouragement this Lord’s Day:

The obituary of my boss at the Russian Bible Society, who was promoted to glory late last year. What a life lived for Christ!
