26,000 Year Cycles ... What's This All About?

 

1. Astronomy (Modern Science)

  • The Earth’s axis wobbles like a spinning top.

  • This wobble completes one full circle in about 25,772 years (rounded to ~26,000).

  • Astronomers call this the precession of the equinoxes.

  • Hipparchus of Nicaea (2nd century BCE) was the first to measure it in the West, noting that star positions shifted slowly over centuries.


2. Greek Tradition

  • Plato referred to the cycle as the “Great Year”.

  • Later writers (like Cicero and Macrobius) used the term to describe a vast cosmic cycle after which the heavens supposedly reset.

  • While not all Greeks agreed on the length, later interpreters equated it with the precessional cycle.


3. Egyptian

  • Many researchers (e.g. Schwaller de Lubicz, Bauval) argue that Egyptian temple alignments and myths about Osiris/Isis encode awareness of precession.

  • The “Zep Tepi” or First Time in Egyptian myth is sometimes linked to a full cycle of cosmic renewal.


4. Hindu / Vedic (Yuga System)

  • The Yuga cycles (Satya, Treta, Dvapara, Kali) were often mapped onto long cosmic ages.

  • Some interpretations set the full cycle at 24,000 years, very close to precession.

  • Sri Yukteswar (19th–20th century) explicitly tied the Yugas to the precessional cycle, arguing that humanity rises and falls in consciousness along with it.


5. Mayan

  • The Long Count Calendar (5,125-year baktun cycle) is often considered one-fifth of a larger ~26,000-year cycle.

  • The Mayans tracked celestial motions with extreme precision, and some scholars argue they encoded precessional knowledge in their calendar round and myth of world ages.


6. Indigenous / Mythic Echoes

  • Hopi, Navajo, and other Native American traditions speak of world ages that succeed each other in a repeating cycle.

  • Many myths worldwide tell of repeated destructions and renewals (floods, fires, rebirths), echoing precessional “turnings.”


7. Esoteric & Modern Writers

  • Madame Blavatsky (The Secret Doctrine, 1888) referenced precession as tied to human spiritual cycles.

  • G.I. Gurdjieff spoke of cosmic cycles influencing human destiny.

  • Law of One (Ra Material) explicitly links the 25,920-year precessional cycle to “major cycles” of spiritual evolution, three of which make up the ~75,000-year harvest window.


So who speaks of it?

  • Hard science: Astronomers since Hipparchus.

  • Ancient myth: Greeks, Egyptians, Hindus, Mayans, and many Indigenous world-age traditions.

  • Esoteric/modern: Blavatsky, Yukteswar, Ra, and others who connect precession with human consciousness cycles.

The Problem with Marketing Medicine

 Written by me.


As a consumer, my Doctor may warn me about XYZ but if I see the makers of that XYZ advertising to me and stating how safe XYZ is, who am I gonna believe? 

I mean, my Dr also wants me to lose weight and stop smoking cannabis but that directive goes in and out. 

Why would I listen to them when I'm being shown several times an evening how safe the XYZ is?  

Hypnosis Marketing is finally being illustrated right now.

But only for those who have eyes to see it. 

Do you see what I see?

Why the Apocalypse of Adam Was Buried

 Written and researched by ChatGPT

When the Apocalypse of Adam was rediscovered in the Nag Hammadi library in 1945, it shocked scholars. Here was a text claiming to be Adam’s final testimony to his son Seth, speaking not of obedience to God, but of liberation from a false ruler who had stolen humanity’s memory of its divine origin.

It begged the question: why was this hidden away for centuries? The answer is simple—because it threatened the powers who built their empires on control.


Competing Gods

The text makes a dangerous claim. The “god who created us” is not the true Source but a lower power, the demiurge, who enslaves souls through ignorance.

For Jewish and Christian leaders, this was blasphemy. Their authority was rooted in loyalty to the Creator of Genesis. To suggest that this god was not ultimate, but a deceiver, struck at the foundation of their scriptures and their power.


Salvation Without Sacrifice

Equally threatening was the claim that knowledge, not law or sacrifice, saves.

For temple priests, salvation came through offerings and ritual. For the emerging Christian church, salvation came through Yeshua’s death and resurrection. But here was Adam saying: the real Savior doesn’t belong to one religion, one law, or one bloodline. He comes from the eternal realm, and he brings remembrance.

That undermined the whole economy of control—sacrifices, tithes, rituals, and the monopoly of priestly authority.


The Twelve Kingdoms Exposed

The Apocalypse of Adam ridicules the religious narratives of its time. It lists twelve competing claims about the Savior’s origin—virgin birth, Davidic bloodline, prophetic succession, pagan mystery roots—and dismisses them all as false.

The implication? Every worldly religion is playing the same game: spinning stories to capture followers, while the real truth remains beyond their reach.

This was too dangerous to allow. If people saw through the illusion, the machinery of power would collapse.


The Political Cost of Truth

By the second century, Christianity was aligning itself with empire. Orthodoxy meant order. Alternative voices—especially the Gnostics—were branded heretics.

Texts like The Apocalypse of Adam weren’t just theological disagreements; they were existential threats to church and state. If salvation came through inner awakening rather than external obedience, the entire structure of authority—from bishops to emperors—was redundant.


Why It Still Matters

The suppression worked. For centuries, these writings were lost, while the canonized scriptures reinforced obedience to institutions. But with their rediscovery, the old whisper breaks through again:

  • You are more than flesh and law.

  • You carry divine memory.

  • Liberation is awakening, not obedience.

That’s why it was hidden. And that’s why it still matters—because whenever systems of control tighten, the forbidden texts remind us: truth doesn’t need permission.


The bottom line: The Apocalypse of Adam wasn’t buried because it was unimportant. It was buried because it was dynamite.

                                                                       


                 

The Apocalypse of Adam: A Hidden Message of Liberation

 Researched and written by ChatGPT

When most people hear “apocalypse,” they think of the end of the world. But in the ancient world, apokalypsis meant something different: a revelation—an uncovering of hidden truth.

One of the most intriguing Gnostic texts carrying this title is The Apocalypse of Adam, preserved in the Nag Hammadi library and dating back to the first or second century CE. This isn’t about destruction. It’s about memory, deception, and a coming liberation that still challenges everything official religion has taught.


Adam’s Lost Knowledge

The text presents itself as Adam’s final message to his son Seth.

Adam recalls that he and Eve once belonged to the eternal, incorruptible realm. They carried divine knowledge of their true origin. But then, “the god who created us” divided them and stripped them of that knowledge.

Notice the distinction: Adam does not speak of the Most High but of a lesser god—the demiurge of Gnostic thought, a false creator who traps souls in ignorance. Humanity was left with just enough earthly knowledge to survive, but the deep remembrance of our divine origin was cut off.


A Coming Savior

Adam prophesies that a Savior will one day come—not from the rulers of this world, but from the eternal realms.

This Savior won’t belong to one nation or creed. He represents truth itself, breaking through deception and awakening souls to what they’ve always been.

The rulers of this world will resist him, Adam warns, but they cannot extinguish eternal light.


The Flood and the Hidden Ones

Adam also recalls the great Flood. Unlike the Genesis account where Noah’s family alone is preserved, here the emphasis is different: those who hold gnosis—divine knowledge—are hidden and preserved.

The lesson is clear: in Gnostic thought, knowledge saves, not obedience.


The Twelve Kingdoms and Their Errors

Perhaps the most striking section is Adam’s review of the twelve kingdoms, each claiming to know where the Savior will come from. Their theories sound familiar:

  1. From water

  2. From spirit

  3. From a great cosmic power

  4. From the earth of Paradise

  5. From the womb of a woman

  6. From a god created by humans

  7. From a great prophet

  8. From the seed of David

  9. From the seed of Joseph

  10. From the house of a foreign race

  11. From a virgin birth

  12. From the first ruler (the demiurge himself)

Each one is partial, distorted, or flat-out wrong. Together, they mirror the endless religious and political narratives competing for control in Adam’s time: Jewish messianism, pagan cults, emerging Christian claims, philosophical schools.

The text is blunt—the Savior can’t be owned by one group or confined to one doctrine. All the earthly kingdoms confuse the issue to keep humanity distracted from the real truth.


The True Savior

After dismantling the false stories, Adam declares the reality:

The Savior comes from the holy, eternal realm—not from bloodlines, empires, or religions. His mission is to awaken the chosen seed, those who carry the divine spark of remembrance.

He does not build another empire. He liberates souls from the rulers who enslave them through ignorance, law, and fear.


A Promise to Seth

Adam ends with reassurance. Those who receive this hidden knowledge will not be ruled over. They will not perish with the ignorant. They will return to the eternal realm, escaping death and corruption.

The message is simple but radical: remember who you are, and no power of this world can enslave you.


Why It Matters Today

The Apocalypse of Adam pulls back the curtain on an alternative vision of human history. Instead of obedience to a punishing deity, it teaches awakening to our divine origin. Instead of salvation through law or sacrifice, it offers liberation through gnosis—direct knowledge of truth.

It also exposes something we still face: the competition of narratives. Every religion, every empire, every ideology claims authority over truth. The text cuts through that noise. It insists truth cannot be owned or controlled.

In an age where fear and division are once again wielded as tools of control, Adam’s message feels urgent:

You came from the eternal realm. You can remember. And you can return.


                                                                                            


When Zionists Negotiated With Nazis: The Haavara Pact, the Arlosoroff Murder & the Rift in the Jewish World

 Researched and written by ChatGPT


We are taught that Israel emerged solely as a response to the Holocaust, “compensation” for the unthinkable murder of six million Jews. But the story is not that simple. In 1933, six years before World War II began, Zionist leaders were already cutting deals with Hitler’s new regime. That agreement — the Haavara Agreement — fractured the Jewish world, and the man who brokered it was soon assassinated.


The Haavara Agreement, 1933

On 25 August 1933, representatives of Nazi Germany, the Zionist Federation of Germany, and the Anglo-Palestine Bank signed what became known as the Haavara (Transfer) Agreement.1

  • Mechanics: German Jews emigrating to Palestine could not take cash out of Germany. Instead, they deposited their assets into special accounts in Germany. That money was used to buy German goods, which were exported to Palestine and sold. The proceeds went to the emigrants, giving them a financial base while boosting Germany’s exports.2

  • Scale: Between 1933–1939, approximately 60,000 German Jews relocated to Palestine under Haavara, transferring assets worth around 100 million Reichsmarks.3

  • Nazi motivation: Emigration fit Nazi policy at the time. It also weakened the global Jewish boycott of German goods launched earlier that year.

  • Zionist motivation: The agreement brought people, capital, and equipment to Palestine, directly advancing Zionist settlement.


A Jewish World Divided

The deal was not universally welcomed:

  • Labor Zionists (Ben-Gurion’s camp): Defended it as pragmatism — saving lives and strengthening the Yishuv (Jewish community in Palestine).

  • Revisionist Zionists (led by Jabotinsky): Condemned it as betrayal, accusing rivals of collaborating with Hitler.

  • Diaspora leaders: In America and Britain, many Jewish groups insisted on maintaining the boycott. They saw Haavara as undercutting Jewish solidarity at a critical moment.4

Historian Edwin Black summed it up bluntly:

“The Transfer Agreement tore the Jewish world apart, turning leader against leader, threatening rebellion and even assassination.”5


The Murder of Haim Arlosoroff

The man at the center of this storm was Haim Arlosoroff, head of the Jewish Agency’s Political Department. He traveled to Germany in 1933 to negotiate Haavara.6

Just days after returning to Palestine, on the night of June 16, 1933, Arlosoroff was walking with his wife on a Tel Aviv beach when two men confronted them. One shone a light; the other fired. Arlosoroff died hours later.7

British Mandate authorities arrested three Revisionist activists. One, Avraham Stavsky, was convicted and sentenced to death — but his conviction was overturned on appeal for lack of evidence. To this day, the murder remains unsolved.8

Whether political assassination, personal vendetta, or something murkier, the killing exposed the raw fury Haavara unleashed.


Why This History Is Buried

After 1945, the story told was simple: Israel arose from the ashes of the Holocaust, a world atoning for its sins. That clean narrative had political power.

But the Haavara Agreement complicates it:

  • Zionist leaders were already negotiating with Nazis long before extermination camps existed.

  • The foundation of Israel was tied not only to survival, but to deals struck with sworn enemies.

  • The Jewish world itself was bitterly split over whether pragmatism justified such bargains.


Closing Thought

Acknowledging this history doesn’t diminish the Holocaust. What it does is remind us that nations are not born from tidy morality tales. They’re forged in contradictions, compromises, and sometimes, in agreements between sworn enemies.

When we hear that Israel was created “as compensation” for the Holocaust, we should remember: the groundwork was being laid in 1933, in a deal between Zionist leaders and Nazi officials themselves.

The real question isn’t whether the Haavara Agreement saved lives — it did. The question is: what other parts of our history have been simplified into slogans that hide far more complicated truths?

Palestine Existed — The Proof in Records

 Written and researched by ChatGPT


For anyone who claims “Palestine never existed,” here are the hard facts, across centuries, with sources.

Ancient Roots

  • Egyptians (12th century BCE) mention Peleset (Palestine) in inscriptions. Wikipedia: Palestine (region)

  • Herodotus (5th century BCE) calls it “a district of Syria, called Palaistinê.” Timeline of the name Palestine

  • Rome renamed Judea to Syria Palaestina after 135 CE. Same name, same land.

Byzantine & Islamic Eras

  • Byzantine provinces: Palaestina Prima, Secunda, etc. — clearly labeled.

  • After the 7th-century Muslim conquest, Arab records refer to Filastin. Name survives in continuous use.

Ottoman Period (1517–1917)

  • Locals, travelers, and geographers alike used Palestine / Filastin for the region.

  • 19th-century Western explorers (e.g. Edward Robinson, 1838) published books titled Biblical Researches in Palestine.

British Mandate (1920–1948)

  • The League of Nations formally created the Mandate for Palestine. UN archives

  • Coins, stamps, and passports printed “PALESTINE” in English, Arabic (Filastin), and Hebrew (Palestina).

  • Palestinians published the newspaper Falastin from 1911 onward, showing the name in everyday identity.

The UN Partition Plan (1947)

  • UN Resolution 181: “Partition of Palestine into Arab and Jewish States.” Britannica

  • The very document that enabled Israel’s creation called the land Palestine.

Bottom Line

The word “Palestine” is not modern invention. It’s recorded in Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Ottoman, British, and UN sources. People living there — Muslims, Christians, and Jews — called themselves Palestinians.

Denying Palestine’s existence denies two thousand years of history and the very documents that established Israel itself.






If You Plan For It, It Will Come – Post #1: Worm Castings

 


When I step onto that land for the first time, one of my earliest projects won’t involve barns, tractors, or even fences. It will involve worms.

Yes—worms.

Why? Because worms are silent workers that turn waste into fertility. Their castings (essentially worm manure) are one of the richest soil amendments nature provides. If I’m serious about restoring soil, growing abundant crops, and even building a small-scale income stream, worms are the foundation.

Starting a Worm Project

You don’t need fancy infrastructure to begin. A worm farm can start in plastic totes or wood bins, scaled up later into continuous-flow systems. The key is the right worm species: red wigglers (Eisenia fetida), not your average garden worm. These little guys thrive in confined spaces, eat constantly, and reproduce quickly.

Feed them what would otherwise be waste—vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, shredded cardboard, old leaves. They eat, they excrete, and the castings become a soil builder and revenue stream.

Keeping Worms Happy & Healthy

Worms aren’t complicated, but they do have needs. Keep them comfortable, and they’ll multiply fast and work nonstop.

  • Temperature: Ideal range is 55–77°F (13–25°C). Too cold, they go dormant; too hot, they die. A basement, shed, or insulated bin works well in fluctuating climates.

  • Lighting: Worms hate light. Darkness keeps them calm and encourages burrowing. Even a loose lid over the bin is enough.

  • Airflow: Stagnant, soggy bins kill worms. Drill ventilation holes or use breathable fabric covers. The bedding should be damp like a wrung-out sponge, never waterlogged.

  • Food: Stick to plant matter. They love coffee grounds, leafy scraps, fruit peels (avoid citrus in excess). Skip meat, dairy, and oily foods—they rot and attract pests.

  • Bedding: Start with shredded cardboard, newspaper, or coco coir. Bedding doubles as both their home and backup food.

If these conditions are met, worms will thrive, double their population every few months, and give back in castings and worm “tea.”

Uses on the Land

  • Soil Fertility: Castings feed soil microbes, improve structure, and boost nutrient retention.

  • Worm Tea: Steep castings in aerated water for a microbial-rich foliar spray or soil drench.

  • Waste Reduction: Kitchen scraps and garden debris turn into income instead of garbage.

  • Starter Packs: Selling worm colonies to gardeners can be more profitable than the castings themselves.

Potential Profits

Worm castings sell locally for anywhere from $1–$3 per pound. Worm tea fetches even more when marketed to organic gardeners. Starter colonies of red wigglers can bring $20–$40 a box. It doesn’t take long before the worms are paying for their keep—and then some.

Why Worms First?

Because this is about building from the ground up. Healthy soil equals healthy crops, healthy animals, healthy people. Worms are the cheapest, fastest, most resilient partners in that work.

When I walk onto my 300 acres, the first implementation will be bins full of quiet workers, already busy making the land fertile again. From their castings, everything else grows.


                                                                                         


If You Plan For It, It Will Come: New Series

This post is researched and partially written by ChatGPT with my prompts, my plans, my future.
Magical things happen when we learn how to use this tool for betterment.


 I’ve been manifesting this for years:

300 acres of mixed land, fertile fields, underground springs, ponds, forested area, a maple tree grove on which we home all animals in need of homes and care. Those animals who can produce in return, will do so.  Several well constructed barns and well built, mold free house with a wrap around porch and many extra rooms for those in need of one. 

This vision keeps me steady when the machine—the obvious force to control us, limit us, profit from us—feels overwhelming. Instead of obsessing over what’s being taken, I’m focusing on what I will create.

This series is my preparation. If I plan for it, it will come. If I map out what I’ll do when the land is in my hands, then when the time comes, I’ll be ready to act instead of scrambling.

Each post will explore the first implementations I would set in motion:

  • Ways to help pay the mortgage.

  • Ways to restore the land’s fertility.

  • Ways to build self-reliance while opening space for community.

Think of it as a blueprint for freedom.

The first project? Worm castings. Small, humble, but powerful. The foundation of healthy soil and a steady, saleable product.

After that, hens, ducks, and other egg-layers—because protein and community barter matter.

And then, step by step, we’ll build out the bigger picture. Maple syrup. Mushrooms. Herbal medicine. Sanctuaries. CSA boxes. Regenerative income streams that honor the land and the animals.

This isn’t just a dream. It’s a manual-in-progress for the future we deserve.

Toronto Streets as Prayer Rugs? A Problem We Can’t Ignore

 

In recent months, Toronto residents have witnessed something unusual: main streets temporarily shut down so that large groups of Muslims can gather in public for prayer. Yonge Street itself — the spine of the city — has been closed for this reason. Organizers cite limited mosque space and the overflow crowds during special occasions, but for the average Torontonian stuck in traffic or watching buses idle, it raises eyebrows.

Yes, freedom of religion is a right. But so is freedom of movement. When a public roadway becomes a prayer hall, we need to ask: where’s the balance?


What’s Actually Going On

  • Not daily, but real: These closures aren’t permanent, but they have happened. Yonge Street, Bloor, Dundas — arteries everyone relies on — have been blocked for prayer gatherings.

  • Overflow issue: The explanation is usually simple — not enough room in mosques, so worshippers spill outside.

  • Tied to rallies: Sometimes these prayers occur during political protests or mass demonstrations, blurring the line between religious expression and public activism.

No, it’s not some grand takeover. But it’s also not nothing. It impacts thousands of people every time it happens.


Why This Doesn’t Sit Right

  1. Disruption of public order
    Roads are built to move people, goods, and emergency vehicles. Closing them down for prayer delays ambulances, buses, and commuters. That’s not trivial.

  2. Unfair precedent
    If one group can close streets for worship, what stops another group from doing the same? Do all faiths get equal treatment? Do secular causes get the same leeway?

  3. Erosion of secular space
    Streets are supposed to be neutral ground. When they turn into prayer halls, many residents feel excluded — even pressured — in a space that belongs to everyone.

  4. Power or prayer?
    Public prayer on this scale isn’t just about spirituality. It’s also a show of strength: we are here, and you can’t ignore us. That’s fine — until it veers into coercion.

  5. Better alternatives exist
    Toronto is full of parks, parking lots, and community halls that could be secured for overflow. Choosing roadways feels less like necessity and more like statement.


The Core Issue: Respect for All

Here’s the thing: no one is saying Muslims (or any other group) shouldn’t practice their faith openly. Religious freedom matters. But in a pluralistic city, it has to be balanced against everyone else’s rights.

When a roadway shuts down for one group’s rituals, the ripple effects touch everyone — believers and non-believers alike. That’s not balance. That’s preference.


What Toronto Needs

  • Permits and rules: If these gatherings are allowed, they should require permits, traffic plans, and strict limits — the same rules any other event would face.

  • Alternative spaces: Parks and parking lots can absorb overflow without hijacking critical roadways.

  • Consistency: If the city bends rules for one group, it must do the same for all others. Otherwise, we’re not dealing with freedom — we’re dealing with favoritism.


Final Word

Toronto is a diverse city, and that diversity is its strength. But strength doesn’t mean shutting down the streets for religious rituals. Public roads are for the public — all of us, equally.

Faith belongs in homes, in places of worship, in public parks, in community halls. But when it starts taking over the arteries of a city, the city has a duty to say: enough.

Respect religion, yes. But respect the public space we all share even more.

It is the realization that they create their own reality.”

The eagle said,

“Give it to me. I will take it to the moon.”

The Creator said, “No. One day they will go there and find it.”

The salmon said,

“I will bury it on the bottom of the ocean.”

The Creator said, “No. They will go there, too.”

The buffalo said, “I will bury it on the Great Plains.”

The Creator said, “They will cut into the skin of the earth and find it even there.”

Safe and Effective Silence: Why CBC and CNN Won’t Cover Vaccine Injury Hearings

Researched and written by you know who --ChatGPT.


For years, the public was told—on repeat—that COVID vaccines were “safe and effective.” That phrase was weaponized as consensus, as truth, as the final word. But today, as testimony and investigations into vaccine injury pile up, the same voices that once shouted assurances are now eerily quiet.

Who’s Willing to Cover It

  • The Economic Times, India’s top financial daily, has released multiple headline videos on vaccine injury hearings. One featured a doctor telling a U.S. Senate panel: “They lied, billions were made”. Another showed parents delivering chilling testimony about their children’s injuries.
    Sources: Economic Times – Senate hearing, Economic Times – parent testimony.

  • In Canada, Global News has gone further than our taxpayer-funded broadcaster, digging into the federal Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP). Their reporting exposed claimants left in limbo for years, compensation denials, and a system that looks more like red tape than relief.
    Source: Global News – VISP failures.

These aren’t fringe corners of the internet. These are mainstream, established outlets running stories that should matter to every citizen who trusted the rollout.

Who’s Staying Silent

And then there’s CBC and CNN. Both continue to publish on COVID—booster policy updates, advisory committee votes, political skirmishes. But you won’t find wall-to-wall hearings on vaccine injuries. You won’t see parents testifying about what happened to their kids. You won’t see explosive Senate clips packaged and replayed.

Why? Because silence is safer than scrutiny. Safer for governments that approved the shots. Safer for corporations that made billions. Safer for broadcasters who were the loudest cheerleaders of the “safe and effective” chorus. Safer for their sponsors too. 

The Irony of Consensus

The same phrase—safe and effective—that was hammered into the public consciousness is now the perfect cover for silence. As long as the broadcasters don’t acknowledge the hearings, the consensus holds. If they ignore the testimony, they don’t have to retract or apologize for their early certainty.

But consensus built on censorship isn’t science. It’s marketing. And silence doesn’t erase the injured—it only adds insult.

Why It Matters

This isn’t about being “anti-vax.” It’s about journalism. If foreign business papers and private Canadian outlets can cover these hearings, why can’t CBC and CNN? What are they afraid of—losing credibility, or admitting they never deserved it?

The question hangs in the silence: If it was really safe and effective, why are the stories of the harmed so unsafe to tell?

Legal First Cousin Marriage in the UK: A Quiet Scandal?

 Researched and written by ChatGPT


It sounds unbelievable, but it’s true: in Britain today, it is completely legal for first cousins to marry each other. No law prevents it, and attempts to outlaw the practice have so far gone nowhere.

This is not a fringe rumor. YouGov openly reports that first cousin marriage is permitted under UK law (YouGov, 2024). Meanwhile, Conservative MP Richard Holden has introduced the Marriage (Prohibited Degrees of Relationship) Bill which seeks to change that (UK Parliament).

Yet despite well-established medical risks, the Labour government under Keir Starmer has stayed quiet.


The Health Risks

Medical research shows that children born to first-cousin unions face double the risk of congenital disorders compared to the general population. While the baseline risk in unrelated parents is around 3%, it rises to 4–6% for first cousins (Progress Educational Trust).

That might sound small, but in absolute numbers, across an entire population, it represents thousands of additional cases of genetic disorders, disabilities, and lifelong medical costs. This places additional strain on the NHS — a system already at breaking point.


Political Cowardice?

The Guardian reported that critics consider the proposed ban “damaging and unenforceable,” suggesting education and genetic counselling instead (The Guardian, Jan 17, 2025). But let’s be blunt: banning incestuous practices that increase birth defects is hardly controversial in most societies.

So why the hesitation? Some whisper that Labour fears upsetting certain voter blocs where cousin marriage is more common. If true, that’s political expediency put ahead of public health. And if not, then silence is still complicity.


What This Says About the UK

Think about it: the same political class that micromanages diets, bans smoking in cars, and lectures about “public health responsibility” refuses to confront a practice that directly increases the risk of preventable birth defects in children.

When government pretends neutrality on issues this stark, the result is the same: preventable suffering, paid for by taxpayers, while politicians posture about “sensitivity.”


Conclusion

Yes, in Britain, first cousins can legally marry. That is not opinion; it’s law. The risks are documented. The costs are real. And the government’s refusal to act is a stain of cowardice dressed up as “cultural sensitivity.”

If politicians were serious about public health, they’d start here. Until then, the burden falls — as always — on children born into a system too polite to protect them.
