Beggars Group

Beggars Group is a British record company that owns or distributes several other labels, including 4AD, Rough Trade Records, Matador Records, XL Recordings and Young. Founded by Martin Mills, Beggars' roots stem from the Beggars Banquet record shops, which first opened in 1973 with a shop in Earls Court, London. He has a personal fortune of £230 million. A Beggars Group sale of their stake in Spotify in 2019 earned Mills £8 million.

Mills recording studio and residence is strategically located along Ham Gate Avenune (see redemption of Ham), Richmond; a wealthy, leafy green suburb of South West London. Mills favourite song is Bob Dylan's Jesus in the Slum anthem: "Like a Rolling Stone" (Dylans parents fled the Russian Pogroms); Dylan was in London's nobody zone, shortly before he became famous, having done a deal with the Commander, on Duke Street, in Mayfair.

In June 2013, Mills was described in a BBC Radio 4 portrait as looking "remarkably unremarkable" but being "like a wise old fisherman watching minnows [a person or organisation that is not important and has little influence or power] waiting to catch a really big fish".

XL Recording's building, is a garage marked with an X, located in Notting Hill, within a hidden cobbled backstreet off Notting hill's Blenheim Crescent (Winston Churchill's family home is Blenheim Palace). Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (initals A.L.B.A) was signed to XL Records and recorded her first album 19 in XL Records garage studio.

Heartbreak superstar Adele was "honoured" by Prince Charles, receiving an MBE (Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) from the Queen's Birthday Honours at Buckingham Palace on Thursday (19 December 2013). Adele has often been described as a "People's Queen" by her fans .

In July 2016 Adele ranked number nine on the Forbes list of the 100 highest-paid celebrities in the world earning US$80.5 million and $69 million, respectively. She has purchased numerous multi-million pound homes, but few of her fans know she has been an alienating Critical Race Theory test subject capitalising luxury from their woeful dismays all along. A real Rough Trade" wouldn't you say.

“Baby, I have no story to be told But I've heard one on you, now I'm gonna make your head burn Think of me in the depths of your despair Make a home down there, as mine sure won't be shared ”.

In April 2018, it was widely reported that Adele had become an ordained minister in order to officiate at close friend Alan Carr's homosexual wedding [there are no authorised services for blessing a same-sex civil marriage under a quadruple lock to the equal marriage Act] to Paul Drayton, something which Adele herself subsequently confirmed. Adele has been beatified by the media as the Integra Natura's Nordic Mary, clothed in white. (see symbolism of white in the N.O.I story of Yakub).

In historical context the name of Adele was the Christian name for Gerloc. Gerloc was the daughter of Rollo of Normandy (a Viking warrior told to have converted to Christianity) and Poppa; married Guillaume (William) Tête d'Étoupe, count of Poitou and duke of Aquitaine. After holding siege to Paris, Rollo settled in northern Frace as the Duke of Normandy in the year of 911 (see: Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte).

Adele's premarital birth mother, Penny Adkins, wearing a flame lily?

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins MBE was born on 5 May 1988 in Tottenham, London, to an English mother, Penny Adkins, and a Welsh father, Marc Evans. In 1986, Penny met Mark Evans, who is Adele's father, at the Kings Head pub in North London. Penny refused Mark's proposal so the couple never married; born out of wedlock daughter Adele was birthed a bastard . Evans left Penny in 1991, when Adele was three years old, leaving her mother to raise her.

“Thank you to my manager because the comeback, as it were, was completely masterminded by him. And you executed it incredibly, and I owe you everything,” she began, speaking to Dickins. “We’ve been together for 10 years, and I love you like you’re my dad. I love you so, so much. I don’t love my dad, that’s the thing . That doesn’t mean a lot.”

Adele allegedly claimed she would 'spit at him in the street' if she saw him [Evans] again. Evans confessed to writing his famous daughter letters every month to no avail but said he had never gave up hope of seeing his grandson. Not dissimilar to many female celebrities signed into secret societies [within and without disclosure of society], Adele disowned her ex-alcholic father Mark Evans; heartless, in that she ignored [no forgiveness] his plea's for contact to see his grandson; even after he made an appology whilst dying on his death bed from an eight year long battle with bowel cancer.

In 2020 Adele has been alleged by media hysteria to be having an affair with black Nigerian rapper Skepta "They run in the same circles in London, and she’s having fun,” the source said, noting that they have a “deep connection” over music and their shared hometown of Tottenham, London".

Jeffrey John

Jeffrey John is a second class Church of England priest, who has served as the Dean of St Albans since 2004. He made headlines in 2003 when he was the first person to have openly been in a same-sex relationship to be nominated as a Church of England bishop. Owing to the consequent controversy, he stepped down. In the years since, he has reportedly been considered for at least seven diocesan bishoprics across England, Wales, and the Isle of Man.

Previously he was vicar of Holy Trinity, Eltham, (in the Diocese of Southwark) in south London. In 1997, he became Canon Chancellor and Theologian of Southwark Cathedral. n 19 April 2004, 10 Downing Street announced John's appointment as Dean of St Albans. He was inducted on 2 July 2004.

“Destruction of cultural and religious property is employed to annihilate the group’s existence from history.”.

In June 2020 St Albans Cathedral replaced a traditional white Nativity scene featuring the Virgin Mary with a painting of the Last Supper featuring a black Jesus, an action they claim was in “solidarity” with a Communist / Marxist organisation named Black Lives Matter; whilst BLM were terrorising white people to “get on their knees” and instigating devastating riots (through an attempted martyrdom of convicted criminal George Floyd) unto a crippled, locked-down society suppressed by a deadly “Coronavirus” pandemic. The cathedral said the 8ft 8in-high (2.6 m) picture was part of a prayer installation to mark its reopening and called on people to “look with fresh eyes at something you think you know”.

In a statement, the cathedral said:

“We stand with the Black Lives Matter movement to be allies for change, building a strong, just and fair community where the dignity of every human being is honoured and celebrated, where black voices are heard, and where black lives matter.”.

The Liberation Theology muralism, painted in 2010, had previously been shot while on display at a church in Gloucestershire. St Albans for BLM said the cathedral's move had “brought about a countywide conversation”. John has spoken publicly in favour of the introduction of same-sex marriage saying:

“If you are gay, then please understand that God made you as you are, and loves you as you are, and if you invite him into your relationship, then, of course, he will bless you and sustain your love just as much as he blesses and sustains any other marriage.”.

In August 2006, after being in a relationship for 30 years, John and Grant Holmes entered into a civil partnership. Clergy in the Church of England are permitted to enter into same-sex civil partnerships, provided they remain “celibate”.

Martin Seeley

Martin Alan Seeley is a British Church of England bishop. Since May 2015, he has been the Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich. From 2006 to 2015, he was the Principal of Westcott House, Cambridge. Seeley through his diocese controls 87 schools in his region all but two of which are primaries. Within this diocese Children in Church of England schools are being taught a 'pyramid of white supremacy' anti-racism theory that tells them that 'avoiding confrontation' can lead to genocide.

Aside from the pyramid, guidances issued to teachers say that school pupils need to learn that racism started because “white people wanted more control over other people,” and that having white privilege is observed in the following ways: “dominant representation on all media,” “no one questions your citizenship,” “you may have inherited power and wealth,” and “your actions aren’t perceived to be those of your entire race.”. To combat white privilege, keep learning about what it is, amplify the voices of People of Colour, be more than just ‘not racist’ but actively ‘anti-racist’ and confront racial injustices even when it feels uncomfortable.

“The enthusiasm with which some in the Church of England are diving into the culture war is profoundly depressing. Children are not there to be indoctrinated.”.

The theory is displayed in a graphic put together by the US-based Equality Institute, which describes itself as a 'global feminist agency working to advance gender equality and end violence against women and girls.' The graphic features in a document titled 'responding to racism' that was compiled by the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich and uncovered by campaigning group Don't Divide Us. Such is the prevalence of these materials that, since its foundation in 2020, Don't Divide Us has received hundreds of complaints from teachers, parents and even grandparents about 'anti-racism' teaching in schools.

Rose Hudson-Wilkin

Rose Josephine Hudson-Wilkin is a African Anglican prelate, who serves as Suffragan Bishop of Dover in the diocese of Canterbury - deputising for the Archbishop - since 2019: she is the first black woman to become a Church of England bishop. Pro-Black Lives Matter supporter Hudson-Wilkin, dubbed by the press as the "BLM Bishop", as a child of the Windrush generation was born in Montego Bay, Jamaica, she emigrated to the UK and studied at the Church Army college. She met her husband, the Revd Kenneth Wilkin, whilst training at the Church Army College. He currently serves as Chaplain to HM Prison Wandsworth.

Holding a pectoral cross handcrafted from Jamaica’s national tree, the Blue Mahoe, "whipped" the "mostly white crowd" into a frenzy when she chanted a few lines from Bob Marley’s hit Redemption Song.

The Church of England reportedly told its parishes to draw up 'race action plans' after Hudson-Wilkin urged it to embrace being woke. The General Synod, the church's legislative body, passed a motion on Sunday that said it should 'encourage parishes and deaneries to develop local action plans to address issues of racial injustice.'. The filed motion also called for better data collection to monitor diversity levels across parishes. The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, said there has been some learning in the church from historical wrongs but added: 'I continue to lament, because what we have done has not been good enough and that is a scandal and an affront to God.'.

Political leaders Jermey Corbyn (Labour leader of the opposition) and Boris Johnson (Conservative prime minster) with BLM Bishop Rose Hudson-Wilkin. Hudson-Wilkin was involved in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's 2018 wedding.

At the General Synod 2023, in his Presidential Address on 7 July, Cottrell also expressed concern about addressing God as 'Father'. Lay member Daniel Matovu said institutional racism is 'embedded' in the church. He said: 'In this chamber, the vast majority of you are sitting next to and surrounded by other white people. Across the church the general picture is the same - in your pews, on your PCCs [parochial church councils], deanery synods, diocesan synods, at every level up to and including the House of Bishops. Institutional racism is deeply embedded in virtually every institution in this country, including sadly, in the life and culture of the church'.

“It is extraordinary that the CoE - the General Synod at least (we don't know what ordinary parishioners make of it) have chosen to go down this radical, highly partisan political route so wholeheartedly. This is a politics that purports to be about kindness and equity, but as many examples show, legitimises intolerance, cultural re-racialisation and antipathy to Britain's history and culture”.

In March 2024 the Church of England was blasted for hiring an 'anti-racism' officer to 'deconstruct whiteness' - with critics accusing it of 'drinking the critical race Kool Aid'. The £36,000-a-year and 35-hours a week role is part of a new 11-person 'racial justice unit' being set up by the Diocese of Birmingham to work across the West Midlands. The job advertisement, described the role as ensuring that 'structures, practices and behaviours' throughout the church allow UK minority ethnic people to 'flourish'. Funding to hire the 11-person team comes from the church's Racial Justice Unit and includes a director, programme manager, theologian, communications catalyst and 6 development workers.

“The irony of many of these projects is they are importing American perspectives and overlaying them on a country that is incredibly tolerant. No less than 80 per cent of the worldwide Anglican Communion is black, and their black theology is very conservative. But you never see the Church paying any attention to that.”.

The team has three years of funding to 'fan into flame a movement of change' to transform the church and will involve 'reimagining parish and community activities', according to the job listing. They will be accountable to the Regional Racial Justice Board made up of people from each of the dioceses the church says are 'committed to effecting change in these areas'. These areas include: dioceses of Birmingham, Coventry, Gloucester, Hereford, Lichfield and Worcester. The Rev Leonard Payne said he thought the advert was a 'joke, a Photoshop job' when he first saw it and that the church should spend the cash on currently overstretched parishes instead.

“The single most powerful strategy adopted by the architects of Critical Theory was to hijack the word ‘justice’, and subvert its true meaning. As Christians we must oppose injustice. But hijacking the language of justice has deceived many in the Church into going along with the various critical theories which are destabilising society by dividing us into competing groups.”.

According to Dr Sharon James there are three manifestations of Critical Theory (CT) which increasingly threaten the United Kingdom:

Critical Gender Theory

Christian tradition and the Bible is regarded as being infused with sexism. CT’s aim is to destroy complementary male-female differences. If there is no creator God, and everything is socially constructed, then gender itself can be viewed as a social construct. If it is socially constructed, it can be deconstructed too.

Critical Legal Theory

Traditional ideas of ‘equality before the law’ are regarded by CT as a tool for the privileged to keep victims oppressed. CT sees the law as a means to compensate oppressed groups for past and present wrongs. Laws are devised to maintain the status quo of society and thereby codify its biases against marginalised groups.

Critical Race Theory

Racism is a sin. We are all made in the image of God, and the Christian view is that we should treat people with equal dignity and respect. But CT advocates say treating people equally, whatever the colour of their skin, is dangerous. They view ‘colour blindness’ as racist.

These post-structuralism "choices" of Critical Theory written above attempt to banish ethnocentrism among homogeneity embracing white people; racially discriminating that white people either lie down dead within exclusion or deface themselves unrecognisable with miscegenation to be inclusive. Meanwhile, ethnocentrism among other ethnicities remains unabated, unleashed and encouraged with socially engineering to suppress and alienate the psyche of white people with repressive and partisan tolerances, championed by moral entrepreneurs such a Welby, Gumbel, Hudson-Wilkin and other Marxist fifth columnists, enabling and enacting treason by defying democratic rule of the UK houses of parliament.

“If UK government fails to act against this fifth column governance then this is a matter for the International Criminal Court of Justice. Deplatforming white ethnicity from public awareness, whilst persecuting white ethnicity as immoral and sinful, amounts to ethnic cleanising, a punishable crime of genocide. If we are unduly ignored by authority, we must seek justice by lawfully becoming the authority”.

In 2020 the British government declared itself “unequivocally against” the concept of Critical Race Theory stating: “We do not want teachers to teach their white pupils about white privilege and inherited racial guilt,” warned the equalities minister, Kemi Badenoch, at the end of a six-hour debate to mark Black History Month. “Any school which teaches these elements of critical race theory, or which promotes partisan political views such as defunding the police without offering a balanced treatment of opposing views, is breaking the law.”. The 49 educational bodies advising schools in England, all but one are illegally teaching Critical Race Theory, covertly ushered into the national curriculum via the Church of England.

The Folk Devil

If you don't present yourself to their "forever open door" and establish "connections" they deliver these "connections" dissociated with punishment for "forever closed door" none compliance / conformity. Inclusiveness means systematically tearing up peoples lives as disembodiments of failure eternal. Racially envious of homogenous virtues they demand us ostracised hapless from perceived ethnocentric sanctities. The unspoken objective is for projections of egalitarianism, socialism and universalism to have total control over the destiny of people.

“The production of souls is more important than the production of tanks”.

This is moral entrepreneurs whipping up moral panic, chasing down targeted "folk devils". Folk devils are gifted people, successful, maybe spiritual in religion, anybody possessing inherent worth is chased down, intercepted and interloped. We were in Newcastleton just the other night, keywords strung together such as "see you later" seem to trigger these events. These moral frenzies incur when the moral entrepreneurs lose their captive mentality hold over the control group, a control group that forms an alternative or opposing consensus from the moral entrepreneurs official "moral panic" narrative. The forensic psychologic footprint of this "hearts and minds" war is cognitive dissonance.

“Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn't have in your home.”.

A repressive and partisan tolerant world is constructed to allow control and exploitation of peoples beliefs. A conceptual reality formulated by opinions and values, constructed by social engineers and delivered by the mainstream media's; perhaps the media's has always been the "forever open door". Moral panic is nothing new to the church, witch hunts beginning in the fourteenth century lasted almost four hundred years; instilling a "divide and conquer paranoia" upon "social altercation" that was either quelled, or ignited by the church. The church would not have ceased these witch hunts if it were not for royal decree. Note, the Kingdom of France was the first nation to stop witch hunts.

Summer Isles

The Summer Isles are an archipelago lying in the mouth of Loch Broom [Martins' Broom], in the Highland region of Scotland. The "Isle Martin" [closest of the Summer Isles to Ullapool] is now an uninhabited island in Loch Broom but had once been the site of a monastery established around 300–400 AD by St. Martin, after whom the island is named. At 27 Argyle Street, Ullapool has a Nordic style "Cult Cafe", and hosts a Saint Martin of Tours Catholic Church and a Freemasonic Lodge of St Martin No 1217. The lodge has links with links with the District Grand Lodges of Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago; as well as Gibraltar, and the Middle East.

“I've often heard about Freemasons supplying their brothers with "logos" to start up / rebrand their businesses; join the Cult?”.

In May 1999, with the active encouragement of Mrs Goldsmith's daughter, Miss Oriole Goldsmith, the RSPB gifted the island to a trust proposed and established by the communities of Loch Broom and Coigach, The Isle Martin Trust. There is a stone with a Latin triple cross, possibly from 400 to 700 AD, which is probably related to the Celtic church.

This triple cross is present on the NFL Chicago Bulls logo [Tinman, is reading a book upon it]. It is traditionally said to mark the grave of St Martin. 57.938613N 5.217975W

The pagan island of “Summerisle” featured in the motion picture The Wicker Man (filmed in 1973 & directed by Robin Hardy). The plot centres on the visit of a police officer, Sergeant Neil Howie, to the isolated Scottish island of Summerisle in search of a missing girl. Howie, a devout Christian, is appalled to find that the inhabitants of the island have abandoned Christianity and now practise a lawless and immoral form of Celtic paganism.

In the 1973 film Wicker Man, the triple cross, is Molech abstracted as the costumes of a hobby horse, punch and a cross-dressing druid; whom in both male and female role, sports a yellow polo neck sweater; Sumer is icumen in, lhude sing cuccu!. Note the uncanny resemblance Molech has to the Chicago Bulls logo, this film enacted a Christi Testa Menta sacrifice of the Sun King.

“Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the detestation of Moab, in the mount that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the detestation of the children of Ammon.”.

The Carandinis, Lee's maternal ancestors, were given the right to bear the coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire by the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.

“I have met people who claim to be Satanists, who claim to be involved with black magic, who claimed that they not only knew a lot about it. But as I said, I certainly have not been involved and I warn all of you: never, never, never. You will not only lose your mind: you lose your soul.”.

The character Lord Summerisle embarked upon inducing “the successful growth of certain new strains of fruit which he had developed” by creating “new cultivars of hardy fruits to suit local conditions.”. The experiment was a success, leading eventually to the Summerisle Famous apple, boasting “creamy white flesh, firm, full-flushed, blood-red bloomed skin with a truly noble sweet, vinous flavor,” as well as others of renown such as the Star of Summerisle pear and the Flame of Summerisle apricot.

Within the real Summer Isle is a long linear village named Achiltibuie. The Hydroponicum, a facility for growing fresh fruit and vegetables indoors using hydroponics, was built in the village in the 1980s by Robert Irvine, then owner of the Summer Isles Hotel. The Hydroponicum was known for growing exotic fruit such as bananas all year round. The building has now been demolished. Some of the former staff of the Hydroponicum run a small-scale activity known as The Achiltibuie Garden, situated nearby.

Alpha course?

There have been EEG studies that demonstrate that television watching converts the brain from beta wave activity to alpha waves (similar to hypnosis). Television can reduce your ability to think critically. When you watch TV, brain activity switches from the left side of your brain (responsible for logical thought and critical analysis) to the right side. This is significant because the right side of the brain tends not to critically analyze incoming information. Instead, it uses an emotional response which results in little or no analysis of the information. In other words, it’s as if someone is telling you something and you believe what they say without doing any research of your own. For this reason, people who watch a lot of TV tend to have a very inaccurate and unrealistic view of reality.

The Wicker Man 2006.

“TV viewing following trauma exposure may be a marker of vulnerability for developing PTSD and also a consequence of having PTSD. High TV viewing levels may be linked with ineffective coping strategies or social isolation, which increase risk of developing PTSD.”.

The brain slips into a hypnotic state within seconds of watching TV. Watching TV puts the viewer into a highly suggestible sleep-like hypnotic state. This provides easy access to the subconscious and is one reason why it is easy to fall asleep whilst watching television. The hypnotic effect is largely caused by screen flicker which lowers your brainwaves into an alpha state, a state of mind that you would normally associate with meditation or deep relaxation. In most people, this occurs within 30 seconds or 3 minutes for very light and infrequent viewers. In a hypnotic state, the information which you are exposed to will be downloaded directly to your subconscious mind where it can alter existing beliefs and form new beliefs without you even being aware of it.

Critical Religious Theory

Critical Religious Theory is the latest addition to Critical Race Theory, both are derrived from Critical Theory. Over the past thirty years much has been written about the critical theory of society that was produced by a small group of left-wing Hegelians in the Institute of Social Research in Frankfurt am Main, Germany and in the United States. However, except for the pioneering work of Rudolf Siebert, little has been written about the critical theory of religion as a fundamental and dynamic element of the entire critical theory’s "struggle for human[?] emancipation".

Broadly interested in the development of a critical theoretical frameworks in the study of religion as a whole. Ph.D. in Sociology from the New School for Social Research.

“There is a tradition within Marxism of engagement with religion that is usually characterised as atheistic and disinterested, but I argue there is a continuous stream of major Marxist figures who have written on questions of religion and engaged specifically with the Bible or with theological debate. Some people contend that Marxism borrowed its main ideas from Christianity and Judaism and reconstructed them as secular ideology, but I think that is extremely simplistic – the relationship is much more complex.”.

Critical theory of religion of Max Horkheimer, the Director of the so-called Frankfurt School, which was developed throughout almost all of his writings and later interviews from 1926 to 1973, the year of his death. According to Horkheimer, religion is the expression of human anguish and suffering that contains an implicit if not explicit indictment of the existing antagonistic social totality.

White, Black, Parsons Red themed Jesuit Jacques Derrida (Alumni of New School) at his home in Ris-Orangis, south of Paris, in a January 2004 picture. He died in October that year. Derrida himself built a philosophy based upon a 'responsibility to the other'. Deconstruction can thus be seen not as a denial of truth, but as a denial of our ability to know truth. That is to say, it makes an epistemological claim, compared to nihilism's ontological claim.

“Jacques Derrida meditated on the life and death of truths and the spectres that haunt the memory. He explained the end of history syndrome’ by arguing that each time there is an event, it seems to be the last time. This `hauntology’ is behind the whole question of “to be or not to be”. It is all a question of repetition, runs Derrida’s argument, like the ghosts who have the habit of returning again and again.”.

Religion thereby also gives expression to the human longing for that which is beyond the existing socio-historical totality. Rather than projecting this cry of agony and hope of a better future society or life into the abstract form of a God, Horkheimer materialistically redirects such religious expression back to the economic mode of social production and the social structures from which such suffering comes. Religion as the expression of human misery thereby becomes a practical historical force of resistance against all forms of social exploitation and domination in the hope of creating a better, more "reconciled" future society.

“The idea that white Christian civilisation is hated more for its virtues than its sins doesn't occur to us, because it's not a nice idea. Western man towers over the rest of the world in ways so large as to be almost inexpressible. It's western exploration, science and conquest that have revealed the world to itself. Other races feel like subjects of Western power long after colonialism, imperialism and slavery have disappeared. The charge of racism puzzles whites, who feel not hostility but only baffled good will, because they don't grasp what it really means: humiliation. The white man presents an image of superiority, even when he isn't conscious of it. And, superiority excites envy.
