We have all become inured to the never-ending stream of announcements of climate doom from a vast array of people who hope to sound prestigious but should know better.

It's like an unstoppable river, an ever cascading flood of doomsday predictions designed to put the unwary in so much fear of incoming doom that they will turn to anybody that will proffer a solution (even politicians) no matter how extreme and consequential such solutions may turn out to be.

We are well down that road now, and more or less used to disregarding these emanations as a deluded but inevitable backdrop to daily life - so it is slightly startling to find an article by the apparently eminent Clintel Foundation that unambiguously  

"declares and affirms that the imagined and imaginary “climate emergency” is at an end"

Phew!

This is clearly the end of the era.

The "dismal science".

When I was an undergraduate back in the...ies, we had to study economics. We had a huge tome devoted to the topic, and it was clear that if it was a "science" it was unlike any other.

Happily I don't think we were examined on it (except perhaps in the first year). You could probably have written what I learned on the back of an envelope (the internet would come later - much later). Not because I didn't read it (although I didn't read all of it by any means) but because it contained a great deal of what I considered "waffle", worthy neither of record nor of my time.

Now we understand that economics (unlike physics, although that too may be about to undergo a roots up revaluation/revelation... ) is dependent to a huge extent upon human psychology - and humans are not logical machines, but are driven by all sorts of factors, inclusive of irrational beliefs (as notoriously cultivated by wannabe dictators and cult leaders of all

... may be untrue. No, really.

If you are a conspiracy theorist, then you surely believe that many things we once thought were true now turn out to be... well, false.

And if you reject such conspiracy theories as the nonsense they undoubtedly are, then you are pretty certain that those who subscribe to them are deluded.

So we have neatly divided society into factions (once again!) who both think the other lot are barmy. The division is no longer about race, religion, class, or wokeness, it's about "who's the nutcase".

So before we man the barricades, perhaps we may need to find a way to unite the warring factions under a common purpose - and "freedom of speech", which once used to be robustly defended in the UK ("Freedom to speak only inoffensively is not worth having"), is the

We are indebted as so often to Clif High, this time for diverting our attention from all attempts to start a hot WW3 (we have been immersed in the cold version for many years, for those that may not have noticed), and to educate ourselves in some important ancient technology previously withheld from us, no doubt in the interests of our own safety. 

Still, with WW3 imminent it seems that safety should now be regarded a relative concept, so I have no hesitation in bringing this previously unknown career to your attention. 

A relaxed frame of mind is recommended.

You have been warned.

Does Ed Milliband have a solution? Could we afford it?

And what does this mean for the security of subsea internet connectors? 

If the power goes and the internet goes, then modern life may become impossible in short order.

The Telegraph reports that the ICC has (after some delay it must be noted) issued arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant.

"The warrants are 'for crimes against humanity and war crimes committed from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024' "

"also issued an arrest warrant for Hamas’s military chief Mohammed Deif, who is seen as the mastermind of the Oct 7 attacks. Israel claimed to have killed him earlier this year"

"The ICC’s decision turns Mr Netanyahu and the others into internationally wanted suspects"

All countries who recognise the ICC are now formally obliged to arrest the suspects and turn them over for legal proceedings to be initiated as appropriate. 

The USA does not recognise the ICC and could in theory ignore these warrants, although they could also act as impartial

He covers a great deal of ground here, including how relations between the UK and the United States may develop in the future. Of course not to omit the golf courses of the Trump empire!

Nor to omit the conflicts of the Ukraine and Israel, and other geopolitical factors that afflict our world.

We don't normally feature commercials on this site - but in the case of this iconic British brand, I will make an exception. 

It's a usual thing for Sales and Marketing departments to be at odds with the manufacturing arm of any company, because S&M deal in aspiration and imagery whilst the factory deals with the hard mechanics of engineering, production, assembly and testing - their respective timescales rarely coincide!

But this case of total divorce from product reality - even on the "aspiration and imagery" front alone - is pretty staggering. Indeed, the abbreviation "S&M" might be readily misinterpreted but still somehow feels appropriate...

Interest of Justice points out that the European nations - well, their Foreign Ministers anyway - I don't recall that any of them asked their electorates - have got together to publish a joint declaration on defence - naturally defence against the presumed aggressor to the East who must be resisted at all costs - costs that will inevitably now fall on the EU rather than on Trump's America. 

Given that the EU plus US combined efforts over several years have resulted in the deaths of over half a million Ukrainian soldiers and an ever advancing and ever larger Russian army that has destroyed almost all the fighting equipment previously sent to the Ukraine, and continued to relentlessly take ground in furtherance of military objectives rather than headlines, it's unclear to me how this defence will be accomplished given that the EU without the US will struggle to mount even a limited campaign even if it could muster its troops toward the front lines.

And as for conscription - I think their populations

Baku, Azerbaijan hosts the COP29 meeting of the great and the good, although possibly not (according to our source) the brightest and the best.

Still, it's important for the Project that the man on the Clapham omnibus shouldn't feel too obliged to actually understand what goes on at such gatherings, because then he might get the impression that it's all a rather incompetent and ineffective snouts-in-the-trough kind of jamboree, and that would risk being counter-productive; so Baku being a long way away with no convenient transport links to Clapham is probably an ideal location for the venue, especially when we factor in the language problems.

Unhappily for the Project, doughty Canadian Dr John Robson took up the challenge of (a) actually getting there (all the way from Canada!) and (b) reviewing the turgid nonsense on display for our education, amusement, and downright horror that so much could be expended on achieving so little. That man deserves a medal.

Ben's report this week heads up with the assertion that the Mar-a-Lago Trump is the deep fake Zionist version whilst the real Trump is directing the psy-war from elsewhere.

Frankly, nothing would surprise me anymore, including any suggestion that one of them is also actually controlling the other - after all, if the Deep State wants a fake Trump to deceive the masses, why not give them one?!

So which Trump has nominated his new team? Is Matt Gaetz on the same team as Bill Gates? Who is to know?

Do the Covid-19 "medical interventions" cause deaths?

Obviously if they are "safe and effective" - that is, safe for humans to accept and effective at preventing severe disease/death, then they should not.

A paper authored by a number of concerned real-world medical practitioners (as opposed to pharmaceutical companies and medical regulators) was withdrawn by the Lancet and by Elsevier due to various reasons including "lack of factual support for the conclusions" and "the study's conclusions are not supported by the methodology".

The paper has however now reportedly been accepted peer-reviewed and published by SCIENCE, PUBLIC HEALTH POLICY AND THE LAW.

Given the serious nature of the conclusions, the rushed nature of the Emergency Use Authorisation, the skipping of the usual rigorous safety checks, and the potentially vast downside risks of continuing to roll out a possibly unsafe product...

Lord Birkenhead isn't a name that springs readily to mind when discussing the future, but his article in Cosmopolitan in 1929 is the subject of a reminder from Alan Watts.

"That’s how power really is. It doesn’t share itself. It gives you an illusion occasionally of having choices, but in reality all the decisions were made a long time ago with 'your betters.' "

Food for thought for us unworthy plebians.

Dr Steven M. Greer is no stranger to the UFO topic, and has a long history of amassing evidence and testimony from many witnesses over many years - and of probing the US Government to uncover what they do or do not know about the topic.

In short, he has established a pretty firm reputation as one of the more reliable figures in the field, and has recently opened up his "Disclosure Project" intelligence archive to the public (registration required).

This "Unacknowledged - Full Documentary" is a film made to bring this subject matter out to the public, to provide an overview of what is known and what remains unknown.
