I guess this only ends when nobody can figure out who they are supposed to be fighting any more 🙃.With governments all around in serious trouble, how to read the tea leaves?

As always Ben makes a good fist of it, and he's probably better informed than most, but I wouldn't bet the house on his infallibility. Probably the only certainty is that things will get worse before they get better...

The police are (as always) the people who have to sweep up when other people foul up.

And when the Ministry of Justice fouls up, they find themselves at odds with the system.

When they start to complain, maybe matters are on the turn...

And who can blame them? Joined-up government is now a very bad joke.

But hey, seriously, could anybody have published thisbefore 2019 and expect to be read?

This presentation covers a lot of ground.

Is it accurate? I doubt anybody can tell us. In a world where all the major media companies are owned by the same corporate networks that own everything else, the idea that we will be told the truth about the world has been well and truly discredited by now.

Does it present significant truth? Of course - the best lies are the ones surrounded by truth that link it all up to suggest completely the wrong interpretation of what is actually going on. But nobody - but nobody - has a complete understanding of how things will unfold because nobody understands the motivations of every player involved - and they are legion.

So we must all find our own truth wherever we may, and there's no shortage of alt-media sites (including this one) to select from. If I have any success in exposing the truth,

Most people by now have noticed that the influx of illegal migrants appears to to be every bit as much government policy as legal immigration - it's just not admitted in so many words.

Indeed, governments of both hues have made electoral promises to "stop the boats" whilst deploying the police, life boats, coastguard, and even Border Force, (who one might assume should be tasked with turning them back mid-channel) to ensure that they are safely landed and transported to specially prepared accommodation. And we pay the French to "prevent them from coming" - or do we really pay them to escort them half-way across the Channel so that Border Force can finally escort them in? 

Actions speak louder than words...

Hence the old joke about "How do we know when a politician is lying?".

"A UN migration worker admits... "   in effect that the UN is promoting this process,

Regular readers will not need reminding of our view of Covid.

Still, ours isn't the only possible view, even amongst those who discount the "novel virus" idea.

But it is along not dissimilar lines...

There are indeed many who think so, but this particular person, whatever we think of him, has been there, done that, and got the Tee Shirt.

Yes, it's Dominic Cummings.

"If you get an agreement you've a guaranteed income for three years for not growing food... "

I do wonder sometimes about the choices of Picture and video title that really don't reflect the video content, but with that said, Andy does produce some outstanding material.

No doubt looking for a change of scenery, German  commentator Eugyppius turns his attention from Germany to the UK, and finds it

"... depressing, familiar, predictable and alarming... ".

"...  in this way the British... system actively cannibalises its... tax base "

"We are looking here at a fiscal and.... political crisis afflicting the entire postwar European model"

No wonder our politicians are encouraging Andy to align to the EU, as they can then blame someone else for when the whole rotten system finally goes belly-up.

And/or shilling for a war with Russia - that should be distraction enough to keep he population too busy to worry about who's to blame...

Alex Thomson (Eastern Approaches) addressed UK Column's 20th Anniversary Event in Plymouth on 20th September.

His oratory makes for sobering reading, capturing as it does many aspects of our current situation (and our likely prospects).

Javier Milei of Argentina now wants the Falklands... again.

And does Britain have any navy left to defend them?

In 1982 we had working aircraft carriers loaded with working Harrier jets, and even so we weren't decisive about defending the islands until the Navy top brass presented a plan to the Prime Minister for scraping the Task Force together. 

Could that same feat really be repeated today?

And is Andy Burnham made of the same stuff as Margaret Thatcher, or will he be too wrapped up in "realigning" with the EU to notice that even Ed Miliband has signed off on exploration for oil in the adjacent British waters?

And even if he does rise to the occasion, could we still actually scrape another military operation together? Perhaps with assistance from our current "allies" in

Metropolitan underground railways are familiar to us all.

The are considered to be a modern development, with London claiming the first to be dug.

And yet... as far back as the Vietnam war I remember reports that claimed that the Viet Cong would emerge from underground tunnels to attack the South Vietnamese / American troops. Were these tunnels that they themselves laboriously dug out mile by mile, or were they already there... ? 

There are catacombs under at least Paris and Rome, and many more underground workings elsewhere and seemingly on all continents!

So what do we really know about "the underworld", is the river Styx only a myth, and what did Orpheus of ancient "mythology" really get down to?

"In the Beginning was the word... "

And thereby hangs a great deal more than may appear on the surface.

Words are not neutral.

Words come freighted with meanings and assumptions, some obvious, some not so obvious.

And it behoves us all to be aware of the traps that the Deep State may lay for us by using one word rather than another. Especially when those words concern the family, because the family unit is the bedrock on which humanity is founded, and which the deep state would undermine in a heartbeat in its quest to corrupt every aspect beneficial for human life on this earth.

“It’s a grand show reasserting the longstanding UN commitment to a technocratic state buttressed by a surveillance infrastructure... It creates no new legal frameworks or obligations"

"The U.S., along with Argentina and Israel, voted against it. New Zealand and Paraguay abstained"

That's all we need to know really.

The US has done everybody a favour by making it all optional according to the preferences of the member state concerned.

Half-way through Red October...
.. so maybe it's time to feature something or somebody normal, somebody well-thought out and still of independent mind who also manages to be both knowledgeable and reassuring in equal measure. Someone experienced in the ways of the world, yes, but more importantly, someone whose authenticity is simply self-evident.

In other words, a true "National Treasure" (even if as yet unacknowledged by the BBC).

Step forward Neil Oliver, talking openly and naturally about his life and work (admittedly with way-out-there Mark Attwood).
