Matters for reflection :
From my SubStack channel: “Where will magick and Paganism be in 80 years?” https://musingsofgnwmythr.substack.com/p/where-will-magick-and-paganism-be
Some llinks that might be of interest or value:
- This is very interesting and well done, but note the qualifications/conditions and comments about past and present conditions: “Evidence That Ceres Had Habitable Conditions in the Past” https://youtu.be/lxF7IbatJXw
- the nightmare known as the - willingly, amathiacally, and destructively - “overemployed” community;
- “Plasma, Consciousness & the Future of Anomalous Studies” https://youtu.be/eZp8G2Zg6ag “What if 99% of the universe holds the key to understanding UFOs, paranormal phenomena, and even consciousness itself? In this episode, Kelly Chase and Jay Christopher King dive deep into the plasma hypothesis—a paradigm-shifting idea that plasma, the fourth state of matter, may act as a substrate for intelligence. Fresh from the University of Exeter workshop on plasma cosmology (with thinkers like Robert Temple, Jeffrey Kripal, Bernard Carr, and Nick Cook), Kelly unpacks the conversations that are reshaping the frontier of science and anomalous studies.”
- a VERY entertaining take on this and other topics (some of the comments are quite amusing too): “How To Tell If You Were BORN A WITCH!!!” https://youtu.be/uMTxaOK04fk

In other nations, you will have to do an Internet search using terms such as “mental health support - <your nation>” (which, for instance, may lead to this, this, and this, in the USA, or this, this, and this, in France [biased towards English-language - my apologies]), or perhaps try https://www.befrienders.org/.
Remember: #PsychicABetterWorld and may all that I do be of value and actively BPM used for and by the nonphysical BPM because #KindnessIsThePoint - and activelyopractice nonphysical health, strength and wellbeing
The purposes of this post’s newsosection include:
(1) to provide information, includingonews, which may be of interest, value, or use to Readers;
(2) to identify both BPM and nonBPM opportunities to do the work of this blog (particularly clearing nonBPM nonphysical units, BPM healing, and BPM strengthening of BPM units - the news items helps draw in/helps me find those people and other units in need of any of the help I can provide); and
(3) to help engage and frameomy emotional, mental, and other nonphysical (psychic, spiritual, Higher Self, BPM Guides, etc) aspects both for doing my weekly PWR and for doing the work that flows from the PWR - which may also occur for some others.
Some of the news information will likely be distressing - hence the content warning, to allow people to choose times they have high energy and/or are in a goodostate to view these, or to ensure they have access to support resources if they may be triggered, or to choose to either temporarily or permanently skip viewing this post or the “News” sections, as is best for their health and wellbeing.
Within the news section, I generally try to identify what is considered “good” news in green, possibly also with green background, but owing to time, energy, and health limitations, may not always be able to do so. Similarly, I generally try to show editorial commentsoby me in this shade of blue (quotes are in this shade of blue) - and for the times I miss doing so, you should keep your thinking cap on.

News :
Noting the excellent daily aggregation of globalonews links at https://everythingbriefing.substack.com/
On the existential climate crisis & nuclear threats and environmental issues this week:
a female Chinese lawyer who has been holding polluting Chinese companies accountable for decades is “now teaching other lawyers across the Global South how to do the same”; the ongoing toll of SA’s toxic algal bloom; “the collapse of a critical Atlantic current can no longer be considered a low-likelihood event, a study has concluded, making deep cuts to fossil fuel emissions even more urgent to avoid the catastrophic impact”;
In the global war against f_sc_sm (and “producerism” and sociocide) - whichoisofought wherever we are (note the advice/examples/guidance on resistance here, here, here, here, here, here, here, this [on the efficacy of nonviolent protest], this book, this book, this, and these) this week:
Human choices have caused the resurgence of famines over the last decade; “The rise of impunity – and its human cost | GZERO World with Ian Bremmer ... we’re entering “the age of cruelty””; “middle-aged men are among society’s loneliest people – what does that say about the patriarchy? The internet, toxic male influencers and ruthless marketeers – not biology – have helped create a cohort of men with few friends”; Nice to see economists finally agreeing with me 😁! “The Fatal Assumption of Capitalism’s Infinite Resources” https://youtube.com/shorts/kZy75XJtrxM; more reasons to get the UN out of the USA;
Items of concern/note (and associated resistance/actions) in/regarding the USA and theiroAutocrat-in-Chiefo(AIC), noting this on “a slight change of activist focus”, include:
Utah has struck down a gerrymander and reinstated a voter approved voting district plan from 2017; a judge has ruled funding can NOT be cut to cities that do not cooperate with ICE; After the US regime announced “that it is reviewing the valid visas of more than 55 million people, social media users began using this figure to inflate the number of noncitizens living in the U.S. by tens of millions. Posts claimed that these 55 million visa holders, plus about 25 million or more people living in the country illegally, means that nearly a quarter to a third of the people living in the U.S. are not American citizens” - which is a ridiculous overestimate; the AIC’s attack on the Federal Reserve Governor is “an attempted White House power grab that ignores the rule of law and puts global economic stability at risk”; “big money Democrats need to step aside” - see also this; FEMA insiders have warned that the AIC’s agenda “risks a Katrina-level disaster”; as he is accused of grooming the USA to prepare it for a coup to confirm him a (very unpopular) dictator, the AIC wants poor people in jail but his rich buddies to be able to buy their way out; the AIC has shown more of his contempt for the Republican party - and his hypocrisy by saying he will allow 600,000 students from China in ... ; hoax active shooter calls at education facilities; a Grand jury has laughed off a felony charge for ‘Sandwich Guy’ after an ‘unhinged’ US regime response; the AIC has claimed “the right to do anything I want”;
- Evidence of the AIC’s unsuitability (including mentally) this week include: this (JoD), this, this (imaginary conversations);
- Acts ofobullyingoand/ororevengeothis week include: this, this, this, this, this (against FEMA dissenters), this (removing secret service protection from Kamala Harris);
- Actsooforesistance this week include: this, this, this (re death penalty), this, this (election results), this (boycott of company that abandoned DEI is having an impact), this (a state based universal health care scheme), this (mutual aid in LA);
§ On migration, border control, rendition, deportations, and associated legal matters, some opposition in Uganda to receiving renditioned people from the USA; a gang of the ICE fanatics has STOPPED A FIREFIGHTING CREW to check for allegedly undocumented people - mistaking First Nations for foreigners!
Items of concern/note (and associated resistance/actions) in/regardingoUkraine/Russia (et al) include:
Ukraine’s Presidential Office is recruiting veterans to rebuild trust after recent scandals; why the AIC’s #2 - who was refused any contact by a potential political rival to Zelens'kyi - is wrong about an amathiac claim of concessions by Russia; Ukraine is seeking larger investors but needs to also support smaller companies; 146 miners have been rescued from underground after a Russian attack; Ukraine’s wartime data is being managed as a priceless resource;
a deep analysis of the damage Ukraine’s seemingly subtle but actually significant changes to how they are attacking Russia’s energy income (with a side message to the USA’s AIC about the need to take action if credit is going to be claimed) and how their new home-made missile (which gets around the US ban on using US missiles deep inside Russia) would further change the situation, and the threat that secondary sanctions would also be to Russia’s energy income and economy - Ukrainian attacks have affected Russian logistics on Crimea and 17% of oil refinery capacity, with some regions running out of fuel; as Russia plans to withdraw from the European Convention banning torture (which is described by Ukraine as an admission of guilt), “UN experts warn of systematic sexual torture by Russia forces in Ukraine”; how Russia is destroying local governance in occupied Ukraine - which is a classic takeover technique; an example of the abuses of Ukrainian prisoners by Russian soldiers; to address its troop shortage, Russia is recruiting prisoners and civilians who have HIV; Russia has convicted 300 Ukrainian PoWs of alleged t_ rr_r _sm; Russia cannot fix the water crisis it created in occupied Ukraine; “Russia reportedly flying drones over US arms routes in Germany”; “China accepts first sanctioned Russian LNG cargo in test of US response, Bloomberg reports”;
an assessment of tanks vs drones finds drones are better in today’s battlefields. Something that has struck me right from 2022 is that almost all tanks seen are big, heavy, battle tanks which are constrained to using main roads. So ... why not also build lighter, smaller, more agile tanks - perhaps with their main armour around vulnerable points (such as the communication equipment, crew - and maybe spring powered ejection seats for them?) as done for aircraft in WW2 and a track load comparable to that of swamp dozers, and half a dozen small tracks on springs so the tank can cover uneven ground at speed? A drone coming up on that would find it harder to hit if the tank suddenly dodges sideways OFF THE ROAD. And for that matter, there are anti-drone weapons systems - perhaps those, and a focus on redirecting explosive energies rather than stopping them, and adding ground robots, drones, grenade launchers for getting anti-troop scale weapons inside nearby trenches would restore the balance? (I have weird and probably impractical ideas for other services as well. Sigh)
Former strong-backer-of-Ukraine Poland is now disappearing into domestic turbulence and threatening (which is disputed) harm to Ukraine’s capacities - and has said “Ukraine “will have no chance” of joining the European Union until it recognises the Volyn tragedy as a genocide”; friendly to Russia Hungary has commenced legal action against the EU for using frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine; China has indicated to the EU that it would send troops to help maintain a ceasefire - as would Canada; “after a [northern hemisphere] summer of submission to [the USA’s AIC], Europe knows it must defend Ukraine – and itself – alone”; “French, German and Polish leaders head to Moldova to denounce Russian 'interference' ahead of vote” - see also this; Italy’s proposed basis for security guarantees remains “on the table”; “62% of [US respondents to a poll] back sanctions on Russia's trading partners”; concerningly, a poll indicates a “slight majority of Germans believe that Ukraine should be prepared to give up on its Russian-occupied territories for the sake of peace” (72% of an extreme right party); stolen Ukrainian housing is being resold by Russia (and the sale by Russia of stolen Ukrainian grain has also recently resumed);
On other international affairs/political news matters this week:
Items of concern/note (and associated resistance/actions) in/regardingoWest Asiaoinclude:
Israel has made a double tap war crime attack on a hospital in Gaza - to widespread international condemnation and a demand by the UN for investigations to lead to actual justice (and the usual attempt at lies ... ); an opinion that “in Israel in the minds of the majority, the people being butchered are not innocent Views of the public are partly shaped by members of the media” but an Israeli Member of the Knesset (elected politician) has written “protests in Tel Aviv, army reservists refusing to serve: in Israel, more of us are saying no to this endless war ... Opposition to the starvation campaign and the new assault on Gaza City is growing – and so is support for military ‘refusers’”; a commentary on the “famine” in Gaza; a “clear line” between the lack of impunity for western wrongs in Iraq to what was considered acceptable in Gaza; Israel’s attack on Gaza City - to which some are fleeing, some are staying; “AI-generated images of amputee Israeli soldiers appear in propaganda and scams”; Israel is attempting to split the NGO field with its new rules;
- “Rhetoric Without Reckoning” https://jewishcurrents.org/rhetoric-without-reckoning “A new wave of liberal Zionist criticism of the Israeli government rings hollow without accountability for the genocide“;
Netanyahu’s rival Benny Gantz has offered a political truce to help secure the release of hostages held in Gaza by overcoming Netanyahu’s reliance of far-right allies to remain in power, which is (partly) why a military assault on famine-stricken Gaza City has been renewed (to put pressure on H___s);
Another Israeli strike on Syria has killed three soldiers;
Australia has expelled Iran’s Ambassador - to the praise of Israel and local Jewish groups and the fears of the local Iranian diaspora - and declared the I_ _C a t_rr_r _st organisation after finding Iran directed antisemitic attacks here ... and NATO has warned of similar attempts by Iran (which is seeking help from Belarus to rebuild its air defences) elsewhere (see here on Iran’s long history of such activities); “Pro-Palestine protesters fill the streets in cities and towns across Australia after Gaza famine declaration ‘The difference between my kids and those kids in Palestine is geography,’ one attendee says, as thousands turn out for marches”; Norway’s wealth fund has excluded a US bulldozer manufacturer and five Israeli banking groups on ethics grounds, including Israel’s use of its bulldozers to destroy Palestinian property; “the manager of a leisure park in southern France has been detained for alleged religious discrimination after a group of Israeli children were refused access”; a “diplomatic rift between France and the US deepened ... after the US ambassador to Paris ... wrote a letter accusing France of a “lack of sufficient action” on antisemitism, a critique France called “unacceptable””; “Macron warns Netanyahu fight against anti-Semitism must not be ‘weaponised’”; US police and Egyptian embassy staff have effectivelyocolludedoto attackoPalestinians; a US conference between their AIC (who still wants an outlandish, garish, Rivera-style monstrosity there), Tony Blair (for money links?), and others “to discuss a new postwar plan for Gaza” failed to consider the immediate need to open war crime trials and the absolutely essential need to address the health, accommodation, economic, social and political needs of the people of Gaza, failed to include representation from Palestinians but did include Israeli representation, and was assessed as “very old-style colonialism, with the people who think that they hold the power thinking that they can dictate terms to whomever they wish” which will not “provide any solution of any sort to the people of Gaza or a solution to the political issue surrounding Palestine”;
a Palestinian micro-brewery in the West bank which cannot export its products freely is being aided by a Scottish firm to brew and sell its product - developed with the region’s first and only brewer - in Scotland;
“under [the AIC], the United States has quietly recalibrated its Sahel strategy, trading military support to West African juntas battling jihadists for lucrative access to the region’s vast mineral wealth, experts say”; the Marshall Islands Parliament and records have suffered major damage in a fire; “Egypt has launched a new round of diplomatic lobbying across Africa, positioning its outreach as a counterweight to Ethiopia’s policies on the Nile ... despite Ethiopia’s repeated assurances and the formal entry into force of the Cooperative Framework Agreement (CFA), a landmark legal instrument governing equitable use of the Nile since October 2024”; “Japan committed $5.5 billion in loans to Africa ... positioning itself as a reliable partner at a time when the US and UK governments have made huge cuts to foreign aid” (this is good, provided the terms are not onerous or unfair); concerns that the “five eyes” alliance is failing; Brazil will start developing its rare earth minerals mining industry; “Recurring floods in disputed Kashmir highlight how geopolitical tensions [i.e., conflict] compound climate vulnerabilities and hinder long-term solutions”; “Denmark summons US envoy after report of Americans carrying out influence operations in Greenland”; “the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) on Monday issued a statement urging Hong Kong authorities to ensure that journalists can work freely, and called for the renewal of a Bloomberg reporter’s work visa”; scores of Emergency Room Volunteers have been killed in Sudan; an opposition figure has been abducted in Uganda; women are taking the lead in ending cycles of violence in PNG; the USA has bullied the UN into ending the mission in Lebanon (we have come to expect the USA to be fascist and hateful: we expect better of the UN, but the laziness and immaturity of nations that have bludged off the USA for decades is a problem);
§ On the USA’s AIC’s tariff war, Australia Post has joined 24 other nations parcel deliveries to the USA; AIC TACO has threatened tariffs on nations that ‘discriminate’ against US tech - including holding tech companies to account for wrongdoing, and may affect the UK’s digital services tax and measures in EU nations;
On human rightsomatters:
Criticism of Egypt for lengthy arbitrary detention of government critics; a “UN expert called for more protection for victims displaced by terrorism and related security operations, during the eighth commemoration of the International Day of Remembrance of and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism”; as a so-called sovereign citizen is sought for murdering two police officers and injuring another, a dangerous and concerning increase in gun ownership and associated amathia in Australia - which is also leaping back into the era of xenophobic hate and renditioning asylum seekers; a South African court has ruled a political leader’s statements at a rally in 2022 constituted hate speech, “finding that they were a direct call to violence based on race and political affiliation”; the Arakan Army has been accused of abusing its own people - the Rohingya;
in Australia, “Federal Court finds government unreasonably delayed ministerial decision on Murujuga application - “with no adequate explanation”” - and “The environment minister ... has been advised by his department to declare a protection order over part of the Burrup peninsula in Western Australia due to its significance as an Aboriginal site ... a Murujuga traditional custodian ... applied in 2022 to protect the area’s cultural heritage from nearby industrial activities, including Woodside’s planned extension of its North West Shelf processing plant”; an explainer on Blak sovereignty and self-determination; “Aboriginal leaders in the Kimberley recently issued the Ngumpan Statement - a declaration marking 40 years of law, language and culture, calling on governments to protect Country, culture and water”; media lies led to an attempt to foster closer relations between Japan and African nations ending in xenophobia in Japan;
“[M_ G_] really wants it to be legal to burn a Pride flag, while [the AIC] wants jail for [US] flag burners Right-wing commentators claim those defacing LGBT+ emblems held to different standard than those burning American flags”;
a misogynistic website in Italy has caused outrage;
Gravely concerning inadequacies in Australia’s aged care - which, IMO, are due to decades of inadequate taxation (especially of the rich) - are putting lives and quality of life at risk;
On societal and governanceomatters:
A call for Australia’s laws to reflect the reality that housing is a human right, NOT a business activity; although the economic roundtable wound up singing the right wing’s love song of “cut red tape”, there is actually a powerful human case for intervention - and “Australia’s women remain an untapped resource in the hunt for productivity”; after years of persecution that showed grave ethical concerns about the ATO and Australian government, an Australian whistleblower has finally been sentenced to only a good behaviour bond; a series on Australia’s declining gun controls has highlighted the problem of “permission to shoot on land” licences issued by landowners, and of conspiracy fantasies such as the so-called sovereign citizen amathiacs; the benefits - and challenges - of civic participation;
“fan violence in [South and Central] American football spurs debate on security and culture” - laws have been enacted, and other actions are underway. Similar problems have been addressed elsewhere - for instance, in Europe, and, to some extent, here in Australia, and in other codes as well. The impression I have is that the problem can be managed, but it takes sustained, genuine, and intelligently adapted effort; misinformation about an alleged crime in t

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
