Drones, cruise missiles, and coke bottles?

With the ICC in the Hague not playing ball with Israel, the conflict in Gaza entering the end-game, and Iran showing the temerity to answer back for Israel's attack on its diplomatic mission in Damascus, the media are in full-on propaganda mode today.

One certainly gets the sense that things are not going Israel's way nearly as much as they would like.

There is plenty this week to pique your interest.

The Cass Review, as I need hardly remind everyone (!) is an "Independent review of gender identity services for children and young people".

Quite why we old relics are excluded from gender identity services, or perhaps merely from the independent review, is unclear, but maybe lack of demand had something to do with it, even though that same lack of demand didn't seem to stop them including children and young people.

Or maybe we old relics were too stuck in our ways to be manipulated into having ourselves so hideously reassigned, we may never know. Surely more research is needed?

Anyway, the review may not have turned out too favourably for the woke crowd, for whom nothing as traditional as the concept of a man and woman getting together to create a family and further the human race independently of state control, can be left unchallenged and

We all know that our memories fade over time, and most of us are probably only too happy to forget the lockdown idiocies (not to mention turmoil) that swept the nation, and indeed much of the world, in 2020.

Yet if we so blithely discard our recollection of these restrictions, how will we be protected against such extremes in the future? Or could we simply rely upon the official Covid Inquiry to fill the gap?

Surely the events of 2020 should be in effect a vaccination of the population that protects us from ever permitting such nonsense to recur in the future? No It wasn't exactly safe, but if nobody remembers, thenit will not be effective either.

An important observation I suspect.

Before plunging into this one we need to understand a few definitions.

"Capitalism" can have more than one meaning depending upon context.

Let's start with the traditional meaning, which roughly speaking equates to free trade within a marketplace.

Free trade is dependent on the concept of "property", something which is "owned". I can't trade something unless I own it. I can only own it if I made it, or if I bought it, or if I was given it as a gift, or if I inherited it. (Some societies might include finding it abandoned, but subject to conditions, which is essentially a minor peripheral argument)

In England we have the ancient and honourable tradition of Market Towns, which were permitted to hold regular markets where people from the neighbourhood could come to buy and sell, or simply barter their wares. Everyone knew the routine that in that place on that day they could all come and get what they needed in

Another country, another council bemused, befuddled, and brainwashed by the green blob.

What is the defence? We must insist upon due diligence and democratic accountability.

Due diligence - check out what we are told and importantly, check out the counter-narratives. Which is plausible, which is actually proven? Or are neither proven? If not proven, then is the the proposed change of status quo justified on balance?

Assess both the upside scale of the opportunity and the downside of getting it wrong.

Democratic accountability - explain our recommendation, the counter-recommendation, the consequences of both, and put it to a vote of our constituents.

Now if we are just installing traffic lights, the downside of getting it wrong is probably relatively trivial, but if our constituents lives are going to be seriously changed then give them both barrels (both sides of

Ben Rubin explains "our" NHS, for those who haven't quite realised what has been going on for many years - under governments past and present of all stripes.

Now we know exactly why the only "cure" for the NHS which is ever promoted by politicians is to spend more money on it. (Are we looking forward to our general election later this year?)

So where does all this money go?

And is money laundering the only problem, or is there more... ?

Has the onward march to our Net Zero future got  bogged down in the quicksand of government "incompetence"?

Every passing day it seems that more reasons emerge to indicate that Net Zero is the impossible dream.

The latest dive behind the scenes into what is actually going on (or not going on) comes courtesy of Fortune and Freedom.

"Renewable energy projects are taking decades to connect to the electricity grid. High voltage lines are proving as popular as wind farms"

You could say that it's gridlock.

There must be not a few subscribers wishing that this eclipse took place yesterday and we might know a bit more of the aftermath for this report!

"There can be no doubt this eclipse is not an ordinary event. It passes over seven towns called Nineveh, a Babylonian city mentioned in the bible as the center of sin and depravity. It also passes through seven towns called Salem, known in the bible as the dwelling place of god"

Only in America!

There is still a lot going on, and "it ain't over until the fat lady sings"!

Rule 1 - heap up the regulations

Rule 2 - make them as complex as possible

Rule 3 - wage lawfare

Something similar coming to the UK soon I don't doubt.

And is "what comes next" already here?

Today we feature the only modern economist worth listening to, or at least the cream of the cream of such a grouping should there be more than one.

As befits an economist, he also has an unmatched understanding of modern politics and geopolitics, since politics and economics are in effect two sides of the same coin, and both disciplines rely on the understanding of the motivations of the masses.

Yanis Varoufakis learned his trade the hard way as Finance Minister of Greece when the EU famously "bailed out" the Greek banks from their banking crisis - some suggest not ultimately to the benefit of the Greek people, but to enable the Greek banks to meet their obligations to other EU banks.

He has also authored some very readable books on economics/politics 😎.

"This four part series is intended as your briefing, under fire, to prevent a new European War, a collapse of the dollar, and the continuance of the mind destroying surveillance state"

LaRouchePAC are taking the battle for all our futures to the US People and to Congress.

"On Tuesday, April 9^th, the U.S. Congress will return to Washington. $61.4 billion in new funding for the Ukraine War is the main item on the “must pass” Washington agenda"(my emphasis)

UK and US governments really are committed to war with Russia, regardless of the inevitable consequences. War with a Russia that by any measure has already been grievously provoked. Russia knows who has done that provoking, but has not yet responded.

Be in no doubt that they will respond at a time of their choosing.

It looks like we will get one or the other.

The BRICS countries have already started the process of stabilising the global currency base by linking their currencies to hard assets, which makes them interchangeable at (relatively) stable exchange rates. A bit like (but not the same as) the old Bretton Woods system where participating currencies were linked to the US Dollar which in turn was linked to gold - and which started to fall apart when certain countries started to suspect that the gold which the USA was supposedly holding for them might not actually exist... and demanded it be delivered back.

Bretton Woods was replaced by the "petro-dollar" whose value was supported (but not fixed) by other countries' need to use dollars to pay for middle east oil (from Saudi Arabia most famously).

Now that much of the world's oil is traded in other currencies in place of the dollar, financial stability is become polarised - the BRICS (based on hard assets) are

Martin Geddes has been to Bonnie Scotland (well, Edinburgh) again, this time to report on the protests about Humza Yousaf, now First Minister of Scotland and widely associated with a recent innovation in Scottish Law that some feel may hamper "free speech" in Scotland. 

It's a cracking report, with a goodly selection of placards that survived the wet weather remarkably well. I defy you to keep a straight face!

I also think that the lessons he draws are very pertinent:

"If you accept one lie as truth, it will be leveraged to allow any deception to become doctrine"

"With this week’s report appearing on April 1st, we thought about writing an April Fools’ joke article. However, the real situation is already like a sick joke so we didn’t bother"

" ... what is happening is no joke but a prelude to a very likely massive military move by Russia, North Korea and China to take Western Europe, South Korea and Taiwan out of Western control. The West is so paralyzed by criminally incompetent governments that this will not be a war so much as a walkover"

You get the gist.

The EU is notoriously dismissive of its populist parties, and the UK is well out of it (at least legally out of it - politically it is obviously still a work in progress, that some suspect may outlast the EU itself).

I suppose that the British have a bit of a reputation for independent thinking - although not always right-thinking. I suppose that our struggle for independence (ie: getting out from under) has been going on ever since the Romans invaded, and for all I know it may even predate those times.

But it is now clear that independence is a multi-layered concept - we regained our legal nationhood from the legal clutches of the EU, but not yet our political independence from their top-down political thinking - that very plainly still has to be resolved, and that resolution is a battle not only for our nationhood but also for fundamental truth and integrity within our governing institutions. We need to recognise and understand who really governs us, and how they do it, before we will be able to

Obviously the conspiracy theorists are working overtime, and coming up with all sorts of stuff that has already been debunked by authoritative sources, such as the BBC.

So don't pay any attention to this nonsense about the imposition of 15 minute cities.

Especially if you live in Oxford.
