  • Down the Rabbit Hole to ... Tartary!

    2024-02-01

    Readers unfamiliar with our "Down the Rabbit Hole" series may like to view some of the earlier articles here, starting with nbr 1. Many may consider these propositions extreme, but the question is, can they be disproved? Could they be possible, and if so, what would be the implications? 

    If the implications would be trivial, then who cares? But if they would be earth-shaking, perhaps we should take note.

    That said, today we take the plunge into an area that we have probably all heard about, but never seriously considered. Yet if we have heard about it already, from whence did that notion arise? And why are we so unclear about the substantive details?

    And could this topic just maybe have relevance to our current situation vis à

  • Move Over Theatreland - We Get Our Entertainment Green Now

    2024-01-31

    As the label on Waitrose-reduced items says, this is "too good to waste".

    A veritable compendium of modern madness gets the Nick Hubble treatment today.

    "The whole net zero pitch is looking so implausible that I increasingly expect it to simply fade away altogether"

    and to be honest, I am with him. "Transition" will simply transition imperceptibly into a new meaning - we will be for ever transitioning, burning fossil fuels in the interminable and ultimately hopeless quest for "green", simply because the green mirage will, like all mirages, simply fade further away before ultimately disappearing before we get there

    Another Dissenting Viewpoint

    2024-01-26

    There are so many issues to dissent about these days that it's ridiculous to expect that every dissenting voice is going to agree on all of them.

    So to those conspiracy theorists out there who call out other dissenters because they disagree on a specific issue (however important that issue), I suggest that we all bring a level of truth (and awakening) to the specific audience that is most attuned to our own viewpoints, and the audience which is not prepared to listen to our dissent to their particular belief will be catered for by others.

    The enemy of progress is indeed the quest for perfection (especially our own idea of perfection!).

    So I'm happy to tip the nod to Lawrence Fox for this video, even if we may not agree on all the issues that face us. We do agree on probably the majority, and the rest will come in God's good time as everybody

  • The State of European Railways

    2024-01-26

    For the avoidance for confusion, not "state" as in nation, but "state" as in condition.

    For those of us who prefer to travel by rail rather than to fly, rail offers an intriguing vista of unfamiliar scenery flashing by our window seat to keep us entertained, not to mention stops at unfamiliar places, and relaxed conversations with unfamiliar people, possibly over unfamiliar food.

    Sadly it also offers the familiar problems: delays cancellations strikes and missed connections... 

    So if you're planning your continental rail holiday for 2024, this report may well be for you.

  • A Note on the Politics of Our Times

    2024-01-21

    This article by Dr James Alexander has got to be the must-read piece for making sense (or should that be nonsense?) of the politics of our ruling classes in 2024 (not to mention previous years).

    So without further ado, read up on Politics 101.

    Then ponder what to make of it all, including where we go from here...   because that is our mission impossible (should we choose to accept it) in 2024.

     

  • Martin Geddes Takes on the Traffic Penalty Tribunal

    2024-01-19

    I guess this is a topic in which a large number of motorists will have an interest - if not today, then tomorrow!

    With "Low Emission" zones proliferating like the proverbial rabbits, there cannot be many who will never run foul of some restriction or other - even when well signed, it can be well-nigh impossible to scan all the street furniture, identify all the signs, then read and understand them, whilst simultaneously taking care to avoid rear-ending the vehicle in front.

    So Martin, having been picked out for driving his (not commercial) van in an area where only private cars are permitted free passage, has decided to contest the claimed infraction on the basis that his van is a private conveyance in all significant respects and is therefore permitted free passage.

    Of course, as he digs deeper he uncovers more issues... which seem as if they may have parallels with the Council Tax situation. Quelle surprise!

    Ever Wondered How Much CO2 is Released by War?

    2024-01-16

    Lots of course. But how much is "lots"?

    S & P Global Commodity Insights has crunched to numbers for us, at least in so far as current wars are concerned.

    Our governments are apparently always perfectly able to accommodate several contradictory notions at the same time, so they will unhesitatingly act to "keep us safe" by going to war (not bothering about democratic mandates of course - no time for that) on behalf of their favourite protagonist(s), whilst at the same time telling us that we must achieve NetZero CO2(however they might eventually decide to define that in measurable terms)so out with the gas and in with the heat pumps frozen windmills and darkened solar panels.

    So far, two months of conflict in Gaza have generated "the equivalent of 75 coal power plants operating for a

  • Get Those "Little Grey Cells" Working

    2024-01-15

    In compliance with our policy of encouraging our readers to do their own thinking, we turn our attention today to Tartaria, a region encompassed today by modern-day Russia.

    Who were the Tartarians, did they migrate all around the world, constructing magnificent buildings that worked in ways unimaginable to us today? What happened to them?

    I don't know the answers, but we do know that much of Tsarist Russia was destroyed by the Bolsheviks, with considerable loss of life.

    Much within this video seems plausible to me, but I have no firm opinion. Certainly it may be thought far-fetched, but after the last few years I have learned not to discount on that criterion alone...

    Make of it what you will.

  • Farmers Blockades could come to Britain?

    2024-01-11

    GB News interviews Welsh farmer Gareth Wyn Jones about the growing unrest in Europe over the authorities' seemingly coordinated push to subject the farming movement to WEF-inspired restrictions and increased costs.

    “Farmers don’t protest unless there is a real reason because they want to be at home producing food affordably for everybody"

  • Natural World Denatured

    2024-01-10

    OK, it's near enough midwinter and we don't expect too many insects at this time of year, but these reports don't just relate to "now" and "here".

    It's the silent pandemic, death by thousands of RF masts erected without so much as a by-your-leave all around our world.

    Arthur Firstenberg puts together a global collection of reports that should make us all sit up.

  • The Occult Art Explained

    2024-01-07

    What is the "Occult"? That which is hidden. 

    How are things hidden? Behind something else.

    Behind what exactly? Behind any one or more of a whole list of items and factors (limited only by the imagination of the sorcerer) that prevent us from seeing it. Including distraction to ensure that the subject pays no attention to the reality...

    Fortunately, Alan of Salisbury is at hand to explain.

    It's a long list, but presented in two parts, each from a different standpoint - which is required if you are trying to uncover the full situation.

  • How Many More?

    2024-01-07

    Neil Oliver reminds us that the Covid business is unfinished, and will not be finished until the many outstanding questions are (a) acknowledged and (b) answered - and not by the apparently heavily skewed and seriously deficient Covid whitewash "enquiry".

    Not to mention all the many outstanding questions that we are not permitted to raise about other elephants of various hues still proliferating around the room...

    Will 2024 will be the year that the dam breaks, unleashing an unstoppable tsunami of truth?

  • I Wasn't Going to Put This Up, But ...

    2024-01-06

    ... the entertainment value is just too great to ignore!

    We all need a bit of levity in these dark days, so we must take it where we find it, and as so often, Richard Vobes and his guest don't disappoint.

    As sometimes happens, there is an enormous amount of good sense in what this gentleman stands for, and part of his attraction is undoubtedly the subtle mix of pantomime, preposterous assertion, Biblical lineage, and sheer outrageous chutzpah, all leavened with a great dollop of sorely needed sanity and good sense. He sounds like just the sort of fellow to whom the whole British Commonwealth might relate and accord him a gigantic acclamation, were he somehow to be given half a chance... failing that, someone should make him into the next "Carry On!" film.

    Only problem is, he already has a rival for the throne...

  • Drawing the Line in the Desert

    2024-01-03

    The Sykes - Picot line?

    No, the Neom futurist linear city.

    This report is from October, but I don't doubt they've been forging ahead since.

    It presents with undertones of a glossy travelogue / sales pitch, but what else would we expect given the scale of the undertaking?

    Strange how they have decided to house the construction workers in a new-build facility that looks remarkably like an old city, with parks, sports pitches and entertainment blocks, but maybe I'm missing something.

    Still, when finished, using the inbuilt rail system people will be able to travel from one end of the city to the other in "20 minutes" - although it seems to me that if you want to get off at an intermediate point, at an average speed of 500 km/hr you might have to look slippy when

  • Geddes End of Year Update

    2023-12-30

    Martin Geddes has been busy in 2023 taking his demands for equal justice under the law through the courts for various issues - Council Tax, BBC Licence Fee, plus investigative work on the "Palnackie Pirates".

    Neatly foiling my attempts to link articles into a coherent sequence by subject, he today publishes a composite end of year report summarising the status of each of these projects.
