1) The New World Alliance was incorporated on the 29th Sept. 2021. Company Directors include Dr Stephen Hopwood ("holistic physician") & Peter Burgess (Electrician). Their website is just an absolute mishmash of misinformation.

2) Their website features various videos that have been debunked as misinformation, including "The New Normal" (see my link below) & the "Ask the Experts" video that @mariannaspring has covered.

3) The NWA, based in Devon (not Compton), have a publication that is very similar to the conspiracy rag The Light Truth Paper. It contains dangerous misinformation on vaccines with links to @hartgroup_org, UKMFA & even lists the fraud Andrew Wakefield as a source of info.

4) They recently advertised a conference to be held in Totnes so I had a look at the list of speakers...

5) First on the list is Gareth Icke, the man most well known as the son of the son of God. The apple certainly hasn't fallen far from the conspiracy tree as Gaz is involved with Covid disinformation movements.

6) Patrick Henningsen is a writer for conspiracy site UK Column & founder of 21st Century Wire where he shared a video by Dr Sam Bailey who no longer has a certificate to practice. Patrick was recently suspended from Twitter.

7) Zac Cox is a founding member of the now dissolved World Doctors Alliance & Director of the anti-vax UK Medical Freedom Alliance.

8) Anna de Buisseret, another person with no certificate to practice, is chairperson of Lawyers for Liberty, protester of vaccine centres with Kate Shemirani, & who her @hartgroup_org colleague Keith Johnson called "bonkers" #Hartleaks

9) Dr Robert Verkerk, of the Alliance for Natural Health, who lists as one his achievements as being the Scientific Director of the UK government's "termite eradication programme" &, since the doctor's intervention, there's been no termite activity in Saunton, Devon since 2010.

10) Dolores Cahill, who had a meeting with @SirGrahamBrady, was recently fined £2500 for co-organising a protest event. And, in a comical pot/kettle scenario, Mike Yeadon called her "odd" #Hartleaks

11) Sandi Adams' website is basically a "greatest hits" of conspiracy theories. I mean, there's not a rabbit hole in the world deep enough to contain them all so Sandi has handily compiled them on here.

12) David Halpin is a retired orthopaedic surgeon and his website contains lots of letters he's written to various people & media and also some poetry.

13) Shelley Tasker hosts her own online show with eminent conspiracy theorists as guests, including "Qanon" John Mappin & Piers Corbyn.

14) And the final speaker is anti-vaxxer "retired doctor" Liz Evans. Evans is founder and director of UKMFA and also a member of the disinformation group @hartgroup_org

15) There is currently a petition to get this event cancelled though which would be the best decision as this is a group of people with very dangerous views.

16) Funnily enough, Stephen Hopwood has a history of inviting dangerous people to his events...

17) After the public petition against the NWA "Awakening" event in Totnes, the conference has now been cancelled. Good. If only @talkRADIO & @GBNEWS would take note & stop airing @hartgroup_org members.

18) On 2nd Aug. 2021, the charity Devon in Sight, which supports blind & partially sighted people, issued a statement referring to the NWA's publication Devon Insight.

19) Guardian article from Nov. 2020, discussing conspiracy theories in Totnes. Can see why the likes of @hartgroup_org's Liz Evans & Anna de Buisseret were invited to speak in the town.

20) @GinnyWare12 covered the cancellation of the New World Alliance event for the Totnes Times:

totnes-today.co.uk/article.cfm?id…

21) The conspiracy website @TheConWom also covered the event. It's author, Tom Penn, appears to use this as an excuse to launch into an unhinged diatribe on local businesses refusing access to people not wearing masks.

22) @GinnyWare12 has just published a new article on a planned anti-vax rally tomorrow. The speakers from the New World Alliance's banned conference are due to make an appearance at the rally instead.

23) If true, that Anne Marie Waters will be appearing at the Totnes rally alongside @hartgroup_org members, then it highlights how, similar to Robin Tilbrook, that prominent members of the far right have aligned with conspiracy theorist agitators.

24) Here's just a small selection of posts from Telegram related to the Totnes event:

25) In the first video in the below Facebook link, I believe the woman with the megaphone says "we'll be like Communist China if you carry on complying". Take heed Totnes!

26) After Totnes Civic Hall cancelled their event, the New World Alliance moved to a hotel in Torquay where their game of Blockbusters, sorry, Conference was eventually held. Stephen Hopwood said, introducing the event: "the authorities are running scared of the truth".

27) After Hopwood's introduction, which was plagued by technical issues & followed by a graphic reminiscent of TV AM, the Conference got under way. First up was Sandi Adams who says "we know that Covid19 was manufactured or engineered to advance this (Klaus Schwab's) agenda..."

28) Dr. Dave, aw jeezo, this was like a Larry David scene. David begins "we're now in a fascist country & freedom of speech is now absent", ok, then something about Zionists, & then "how do you scroll up?" I watched all of his "presentation" but no... I need a break... hahaha...

29) @GinnyWare12 has published another article on the Totnes anti-vax protest and confirms that the NWA conference was eventually held at "a private venue in Totnes."
