Online Censorship Confirmed

 

See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/06/kid-starmer.html and: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/03/online-safety-act-goes-live.html.
Back in July, shortly after he first took office, I wrote about how I believed we should not be reassured when Andy Burnham said he was going to scrap Digital ID: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/07/burnham-scraps-digital-id.html. A recent news story proves me right. The Culture Secretary, Lisa Nandy, has announced at the Labour Party conference that she is going to bring in a comprehensive social media ban for children effective from March next year. Anybody under sixteen will no longer be able to use TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. This is just the start, what Nandy calls a "staging post". She is planning far more robust legislation including device-level filters and giving OfCom the same authority over the online world as it currently has over TV and radio. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/articles/cqn8md79j420o. You might think this is a good idea; after all, we all care about the safety of children, don't we? If you think in those terms then you miss the point entirely. The government don't give a damn about children's welfare. If they did then they'd have shut down the BBC, their own broadcaster, years ago. That is the bait in the trap and a way to moral blackmail detractors, as I explain in the background links. In order to stop children using websites it will be necessary to check that the adults using them are who they say they are. This means you can only post under your own real identity. So, no more burner accounts, no more anonymous posting, no more freedom to express opinions that you know might lose you your job or get you arrested under the ridiculous charges of "causing offence" and "hate". There will also be an explosion in data leakage leading to fraud and identity theft. The damage this will do to whistleblowers is almost incalculable. Wikileaks and similar outfits will be unable to guarantee the safety of agents and informants. It all fits into place, doesn't it? That's why the government are doing it. The internet has been a millstone around their necks ever since it was invented and they have always searched for ways to get the online genie back into the bottle. There are always ways round all these regulations as we've seen in China and Australia, but you need to be quite tech-savvy to do it. The good thing to come out of this is that the Burnhamista regime has exposed itself as being nothing more than the previous one 2.0, Starmer with a smile.

The Superstition-Purveyor's Gender-Neutral Sibling-Child

 

Bad news today, guys. As regular readers will know, I am a big fan of CS Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia. I've been generally impressed with the cinematic adaptations of the first three books, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawntreader. Now I've found out that a film of the sixth book, The Magician's Nephew, is about to be released. This novel is the penultimate book, published in 1955, and is listed as first in some editions because it is a prequel. It takes the reader back in time about fifty years to the childhood of Professor Digory Kirke, an important supporting character in LW&W. He and his friend Polly discover the land of Narnia at the moment of its creation by Aslan the great lion. It includes a very clever retconned explanation for how the mysterious lamp-post, an object from our own universe, appeared in Narnia. Like all the books, The Magician's Nephew is fascinating, thought-provoking and enthralling. I always hoped it would be adapted into a film like the first three. Now it has, for the first time ever. The film is finished and is being released next February, but it has a different production history to the others. That alone should raise red flags before long you hear the details. The original contract with Walden Media expired in 2018 and The CS Lewis Company, holders of the author's intellectual estate, announced that they had sold the rights to Lionsgate Canada for all the books. The entire Chronicles have never been under a single adaptation licence before with just seven years before they all fall out of copyright. The film has a styled new title: Narnia- The Magician's Nephew. It will be released onto Netflix in February. The director and writer is Greta Gerwig whose previous works include Barbie; a film which, according to her "celebrated the feminism" behind the doll... You can guess where this is leading! Tilda Swinton has been dropped despite her captivating embodiment of spite and corruption in her superb portrayal of the Witch in LW&W. Now Jadis will be a young and trendy gothic emo played by Emma Mackey. Frank the cabby's actor is Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, a black man; who else could be the first king of Narnia? I see Susan Wokoma is in it too. I loved her in Porters, see: https://hpanwo-hpwa.blogspot.com/2018/10/porters-returns-to-dave.html, but what is her role in Narnia? It doesn't say, but I'm guessing it's Queen Helen.

But it gets worse... far far worse... wait for it! The voice of Aslan will be Meryl Streep. I mean, why!? Obviously that's a very rhetorical question. Sadly the rainbow striped locusts have caught one of the few surviving franchises that had so far evaded them. Why don't the wokists go away and invent their own franchises? If they did that I wouldn't complain; but, of course, if they did that nobody would watch them. That's the issue. They operate like a virus, infecting popular stories that people already love. It's also a deliberate act of desecration. Their mission is to demoralize and humiliate us. They do that by trampling on the works we hold close to our hearts. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrHU9DGZOGA (51k views and 73 thumbs up; says it all.) What's ironic is that within the very pages of The Chronicles of Narnia itself there are storylines that expose this very type of subversion many decades before it actually struck. In The Silver Chair, the two main characters are children at a school called "Experiment House" which is some kind of cultural Marxist indoctrination centre for the future youth. In The Last Battle, the final book of the series, the creatures of Narnia are tricked into worshipping an idol in the form of a donkey dressed in a Lion's skin to make it look like Aslan the great lion. Even his very identity is mixed into a fabricated amalgam with the demon Tash, called "Tashlan". You'll guess that eventually the real Aslan does turn up and expose the fraud. Obviously I have not yet seen this film, nobody has, but I've studied the news releases, the trailers and the imagery. I know enough to predict that this film will be an utter travesty. It will not only be bad, it will be deliberately bad! That's the whole point. You can guess I will not be watching it; and neither will millions of loyal Narnia fans. That's the good news, the silver lining in the cloud. This waste of celluloid is going to crash and burn just like The Rings of Power. Maybe a time will come in the future when respectful artistic filmmakers can once again be permitted to create works of joy, inspiration and wonder that celebrate the literature from which they come. That time is not now, but I hope one day it will be.

Disclosure Day DVD

 

See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/07/dd-on-home-media.html.
It's arrived! I preordered the DVD of Disclosure Day as soon as it was on offer. I've had to wait nearly two months before it was dispatched. It was available previously on streaming sites, but I don't trust them; I explain why here: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/06/memory-holed-movies_0503601583.html. The DVD contains the complete theatrical feature in widescreen aspect ratio and high resolution audio. There is a bonus featurette called Spielberg and Williams- A Legendary Collaboration about the long partnership between Steven Spielberg and John Williams. The composer has written some of the most famous film scores in history for Spielberg's films; for thirty movies and over fifty years. The Blue Ray and 4K Ultra HD editions include even more extra content, but I don't have a suitable player. The thing I'm most pleased about is that I can now watch Disclosure Day while pausing the playback. The final scene in particular is very complex. This is when the heroes capture a TV studio and start broadcasting videos from the secret files. It has multiple sub-second shots of all kinds of interesting vistas and it's not possible to understand everything in it by watching it in the cinema non-stop. I can't help wondering if something real might have been inserted into the sequence as part of the transparency process. If so then I want to be the first to spot it!

Source to Sea (Non-Woo-Woo)

 

I have come across a YouTube series by somebody with the unfortunate name of Ed Pratt. He is an introverted and rather geeky young chap, but his adventure has gripped me. He came up with an amazing challenge; he would travel the entire length of the River Thames. This has been done before by many people, most famously by the comedian David Walliams; but Ed's quest would be different. He would traverse the river all the way from its source to the sea while staying in it. Not walking along the bank, actually being in the river, all 210 miles of it. He began at the source of the Thames, at a place appropriately called Thameshead. It is not much to look at, just a marker stone on the top of a small hill in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds. Most of the time the ground around it is dry for the first couple of miles. As a result, the initial stage of Ed's journey is mostly walking on land where the river flows invisibly, just sifting slowly through the soil. When it emerges as a visible surface watercourse he starts wading; and then occasionally swimming. He has to battle waterweed, thick mud and fallen trees blocking his way, but he tenaciously sticks to his plan to stay in the river. He camps by the side of the river at night, but always re-enters the river at the point he left it. At Cricklade the Thames is deep and wide enough to be navigable by small boat. He has a red kayak which his Instagram followers predictably elect to name "Thamesey McThamesface". His social media fans are very helpful. One of them looks after his boat until he arrives in Cricklade and many others give him beds for the night, including somebody in Oxford. As he paddles along, people cheer him on from the riverbank and from other boats. He actually was a minor celebrity at the time. It makes it clear to me that there is an entire community of people who live on or around the Thames whose lives are shaped uniquely by the famous river. He meets many interesting people along the way. His mission is also scientific. He tests the water for pollution each day and has a sponsorship campaign with the Rivers Trust, an organization dedicated to cleaning up our precious waterways. He made notes of all the locks he passed though with one strange exception, Iffley Lock. That is a pity because it is the one closest to my own home and probably the most picturesque on the whole river, with its Victorian stone footbridge. He might have left this one out because he was forced to break his golden rule of doing the whole journey in the river. The lock has rollers which all small craft are expected to use. The keepers will not open the gates for a solo kayak. I don't think that really matters though. His series is not just a travel vlog; it is a properly produced documentary with a musical score, editing and special effects. He uses multiple camera angles from the boat, his body and selfie stick. He even deploys a drone to get aerial shots whenever he can. The problems he faces change as the river does; from the pre-boat beginnings, to the long middle stage and finally the tidal stretch through London and the shipping lanes of the estuary. His task is not without risks and dangers. Despite this he sticks with his little kayak all the way to the end and does not transfer to a larger boat. I really enjoyed Ed's journey. He planned and researched it meticulously as well as recording it very professionally. There are other past missions on his channel. I hope he does the Nile next! If so then I'll provide another non-woo-woo commentary on it.

Shining a Light Update

See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/07/shining-light.html.
The skeppers are going to love this one! I have made a discovery in my investigation that contradicts what I said in the background article. I stated that, based on my discussions with Google AI and studies of my mobile phone's user manual, that it was not possible for the torch to activate unless you unlock the screen. When I made a HPANWO TV video about this subject, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2026/09/the-gift-of-light.html, somebody in the comments said that widgets like the torch can usually be accessed from a locked screen. I disagreed at the time in the Reply to Comments 132 video, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2026/09/reply-to-comments-132.html, but I have since found out that he was right. It is actually true that I can switch on the torch without entering my personal identification number and unlocking the device. Instead the torch can be started more simply, by pressing the power button to light up the screen, swiping upwards, swiping to the left and then pressing the torch button. This will please the numerous skeptics who have sent me a torrent of messages since I first spoke about my experience asserting that "there are a huge number of mundane explanations for this!" However, before they descend into a complete vainglorious of orgy of mutual masturbation, I'd like to offer a moment of pause. To begin with, I understand that it is true that I now have to concede somewhat. I thought previously that the only way to activate the torch by accident would be to press the power button, enter the six digit PIN and then do the swipes and press the button; that is ten manoeuvres. I was wrong, but this new development only reduces the process down to four manoeuvres. Now, you might argue that the first six are the most statistically crucial because of the miniscule odds of getting six numbers correct through random friction of the phone screen on the inside of my pocket, and that is true; but what are the odds of the next segment? These random bumps would have to swipe the entire length of the screen, and then the width; and than press the right button for the torch out of a dozen or more activation points for other apps on that page, consecutively and in the correct order. This is much more likely than my previous model, but still extremely unlikely. Bear in mind also that this eventuality has never happened before and has never happened since. So, this was the only time my phone ever activated its light unintentionally; and it just happened to be straight after the very emotionally distressful experience I'd just had at the post office. Think it over! Do the math! I still believe it is sensible to consider my experience a highly significant and meaningful example of synchronicity. I still consider it a wonderful gift.

False Doors

 

False doors are features of a building, supposedly ornamental, which look like doorways, but there is no real door behind them. They lead nowhere. Behind them is just a blank wall or natural rockface. They are usually very ancient and are particularly common in Egypt. According to a variety of contemporary sources, the purpose of these doorways was to allow the Ka, a dead person's spiritual essence, to pass from our universe into the afterlife realms. It is quite common for tourists to stand in these doorways and have their photographs taken in there. This includes my good friend Beata van Berkom, see: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2022/05/programme-462-podcast-beata-van-berkom.html. False doors are occasionally found elsewhere, such as Etruscan tombs on Sardinia. They probably have the same function there. I am interested how there appears to be a modern scientific and/or heavy industrial equivalent at CERN. A false door may have been built close to the Large Hadron Collider that looks like a door to nowhere, but sometimes an interdimensional portal can appear, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/08/the-phantom-scarf-stealer-of-old-cern.html. For this reason, I think approaching false doors of any kind should be treated with caution. We don't know if the portals might materialize again suddenly while you're standing there and swallow you up. This was actually the story behind an obscure 1980's TV adventure series called Otherworld, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqepZMzXWvE&list=PLzovi87vDfzIHuqJB6VRYnRC9BoHwCeXs. This is not evidence that such a danger exists, but people do occasionally vanish for no obvious reason, as David Paulides has found out, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/05/missing-411-national-parks-washington.html. Don't have nightmares! If you take a trip to Egypt, enjoy it; such tragedies are extremely rare. However, it's worth taking a few precautions. Stay in pairs or in a group. People who vanish tend to do so alone. This, additionally, keeps you safer from the more conventional risks, such as getting lost or being targeted by criminals. If you have your photo taken in a false door, make sure there are a lot of people close by and at least some of them keep you in their vision at all times.

CVD Hug-Fest

 

A meeting has taken place between four statesmen: Rhun ap Iorwerth, First Minister of Wales; Michelle O'Neil, First Minister of Northern Ireland; John Swinney, First Minister of Scotland and Mary Lou McDonald, President of Sinn Féin and leader of the opposition in the Republic of Ireland. They met in Cardiff and had a discussion about how all the so-called, and wrongly called, "Celtic" nations are now led by pro-independence politicians. "Westminster's time is coming to an end!" they said and called upon the UK government to prepare for constitutional change giving their respective countries more devolution and self-determination. This was called "the 2026 Cardiff Agreement". After that they no doubt cried on each other's shoulders and fell to the floor kicking and screaming about how the world would be a paradise if it wasn't for the "bloody English!" I noted the other day that Argentina has the same problem, a foundational and deeply embedded myth that drives the culture and political tide of the country; even though it is completely false, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/09/national-myths.html. These national myths are incredibly difficult to dislodge and debunk. Simply explaining them or appealing to reason rarely works. People you are talking to generally will either walk away or respond with an angry ad-hominem: "What would you know!? You haven't suffered like we have!" As I've said before, this sense of suffering and being oppressed is extremely addictive. Like feminists, the Welsh, Scots and Irish have a love-hate relationship with it. It is a core element of their national identity and even, in a strange way, their self-esteem, see here for details: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/02/irish-cvd-bull.html and: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/10/cvd-is-ruining-wales.html. I predict with confidence that if the time ever came when you could truly lift the burden of the CVD from their shoulders they would fight to defend it, Matrix style. Living life without that narcissistic sense of entitlement would be a struggle for them. The worst thing about the CVD, and this Cardiff Agreement to which it has given birth, is that eager expansionist eyes in Brussels will be watching it closely and will understand what's really going on. This is exactly what the European Union wants to hear. All of the politicians in Cardiff have a desperate longing to be free of the United Kingdom, but no such desire to be free of the EU; on the contrary. A split UK will quickly lead to Wales, Scotland and a reunited Ireland being sucked into the maw of the globalist superstate. Those four idiots in Cardiff cannot even comprehend the terrible fate that awaits their countries. As for England, it will be easier to deal with once it is alone. This is why it is vital for the people of Britain and Ireland, whichever nation you live in, to resist the Cardiff Agreement. If your leaders are oblivious to the danger then you must replace them. The good news, in Wales at least, is that confidence in the Welsh government is at an all-time low, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2024/01/visiting-senedd.html. Less than ten percent of Welsh people want full independence from Westminster and even what we've been given so far has turned sour in our mouths. In Scotland and Northern Ireland it is different. Scotland had a referendum a few years ago that came down with a narrow victory for the unionists, see: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2014/09/programme-104-podcast-scottish.html. We can only hope calmer heads prevail. Being a British unionist is no longer an imperialistic position; it is the opposite. Brexit means that Britain has led the new and real anti-colonial struggle against the real empire of the 21st century.
