Off-Guardian \u2013 June 21, 2025<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Our successor to This Week in the Guardian<\/em>, This Week in the New Normal<\/a><\/em> is our weekly chart of the progress of autocracy, authoritarianism and economic restructuring around the world.<\/p>\n

1. Drinking Milk is Unsettling<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Writing in the Guardian \u2013 because where else would have her \u2013 Arwa Mahdawi asks<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

Why is it so unsettling to watch an adult drink cold cow\u2019s milk?<\/p>\n

To which I can only respond, \u201cis it?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t a new meme. The idea that drinking milk is \u201cweird\u201d or \u201cchildish\u201d or \u201cunnatural\u201d<\/a> or \u201ccreepy\u201d has been around for years<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course, drinking non-dairy milk isn\u2019t weird at all. That\u2019s normal, commendable even. Cockroach milk?<\/a> Even better.<\/p>\n

The agenda is pretty clear.<\/p>\n

In a less subtle propaganda piece, The Daily Mail<\/a> warns that \u201clives are being put at risk\u201d<\/em> because more and more people are choosing to eat butter rather than \u201chealthier low fat\u201d margarine.<\/p>\n

Dairy = bad, in case you weren\u2019t getting it.<\/p>\n

2. The Moon is Under Threat<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Moon is now listed as a \u201cthreatened cultural site\u201d by the World Monument\u2019s Fund<\/a>, because they\u2019re worried about space tourists damaging the lunar landing sites.<\/p>\n

This is such a good example of our societal insanity.<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m not going into the Apollo narrative here, but if you accept the official version of events then not only has nobody been to the moon since 1972, we don\u2019t even have the technology to do it anymore.<\/p>\n

Nobody has set foot on the moon in over fifty years. Nobody has even been within 200,000 MILES of the moon<\/strong> in that time, and suddenly we\u2019re writing laws about what to do when going to the moon isn\u2019t just possible<\/em>, but so common our \u201ccollective heritage\u201d is in danger.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hilarious.<\/p>\n

3. The UFO thing hasn\u2019t gone away<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2026speaking of space, did you know there was footage showing the recovery of a UFO on the internet?<\/p>\n

It hit the headlines a few days ago on a site called NewsNation, and then went viral, and a \u201cwhistle blower\u201d has come forward to claim he was within 150ft of the \u201cegg-shaped craft\u201d.<\/p>\n

Now, the mainstream hasn\u2019t endorsed this story but it has mentioned it, covering the social media response rather than the event itself. The Daily Mail reports:<\/a><\/p>\n

Internet divided as \u2018egg\u2019 UFO retrieval video airs on TV<\/p>\n

We covered the possibility of UFO-based psy-op back in 2023,<\/a> when \u201cwhistle blower\u201d David Grosch testified in front of congress that the US government had recovered working alien technology from crash sites.<\/p>\n

It looks like they\u2019re keeping that option open.<\/p>\n

BONUS: Neglected topic of the week<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Davos started yesterday<\/a>, did you know? They had their big concert and everything. Today will see the start of the serious work where people get down to talking about things that matter.<\/p>\n

Things like \u201chow false narratives and misleading information evolved and impacted the political landscape\u201d, which translates from Globospeak to English as \u201cwhy we should censor people more\u201d.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere there is talk of the \u201cThreat of Insurance Deserts\u201d, which is the problem that insurance companies are starting to refuse to cover property which might be destroyed by extreme weather events.<\/p>\n

More honestly, it\u2019s a system by which insurance companies can further the climate change narrative by simply refusing to cover property which is \u201cthreatened by climate change\u201d. This will drive people out of certain areas (and into cities). These people will be officially listed as \u201cclimate migrants\u201d, and used as evidence climate change is having terrible impacts and something must be done.<\/p>\n

As usual we\u2019ll be keeping an eye out for anything horrifying and reporting back. Look out for more later in the week.<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

All told a pretty hectic week for the new normal crowd, and we didn\u2019t even mention Dr Fauci getting pre-emptively pardoned by Joe Biden<\/a>, Carole Cadwalldr\u2019s latest batshit crazy \u201cRussian plot\u201d nonsense<\/a>, or the race for new bird flu vaccines<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot of change in the air, a lot of agendas in the works, if you see a headline, article, post or interview you think is a sign of the times, post it in the comments, email us<\/a> or share it on social media and we will add it to the next edition.<\/p>\n
