In a long but concerning article, Aussie Michael Rainsborough (the surname betrays his English origin) discusses the state of modern Britain and contrasts it with his view of modern Australia.

Without asserting that civil war is inevitable, he elucidates his concerns: 

"... an establishment seemingly bent on self-destruction, clinging to an incontinent immigration system and an almost devotional attachment to international and human rights laws that disadvantage its own citizens"

"The Brexit psychodrama exposed the extent of the rot. The political class, determined to thwart the referendum result, behaved with a deranged mixture of denial and contempt for the electorate"

(I have the Matt cartoon set from that time still hanging on my wall!)

Since our pseudo-Brexit, it has been abundantly clear that our political and journalistic classes owe their

Ivor Cummins interviews geopolitical expert Alex Krainer.

This is 99 minutes of excellent root-cause analysis. They cover a broad sweep of history, drawing the parallels with today (post the second World War) to expose the roots of today's conflicts.

"... and (3) you[the oligarchs] have to stay out of politics... " 

Ouch.

Very informative - even China gets an serious discussion: "their approach is very very different..."

No, really. Liz Truss proved that it can happen to any party that's in office but not in power.

And that observation really sums up the state of play in politics all around the world - nothing is as it seems.

It is however illustrative of the folly of central banking. Not enough money from taxes for the government? So borrow more fake money (newly invented with a few keystrokes) from the Central Bank and repay the loan with interest (from genuine money from the product of the taxes on your labours). Central bankers like this because they make a killing.

Still in trouble? So borrow more fake money (newly invented with a few keystrokes) from a Global Bank like the IMF and repay the loan with interest (from genuine money from the product of your labours, via our obliging government's taxes). Global bankers like it because they make a

Well this may be the truth - but we can't argue with it and we don't want you to believe it, so we will disrespect you to the furthest extent permissible in polite society by calling you by the approved labels and quoting unidentified but presumed expert scientists who we allege disagree with you - so you must be wrong and anybody who dares to consider that you might be right are fools and easily deceived numpties - so there.

So who is really in charge in the US of A?

Is the US President a fake like all the others around the globe?

Should we be thinking bigger than ever before about the extent of the fakery that has infested global politics (not to mention academia, NGOs, charitable foundations, and global governance under the United Nations - WEF "partnership")?

I don't know, but it's the logical inference to be drawn if Brian Berletic is correct in his analysis of who is really in control in the (western parts of) the Ukraine...

"This demonstrates continuity of agenda. It does not matter who Americans vote for, who is in the White House, who controls Congress; this is a singular agenda that continues no matter what..."

In an outspoken report, Ben asserts that a fake Trump manipulated by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is now appearing in news reports and "White House dinners" with the rich and suspect.

So where is the real Trump? - always assuming that such a personage actually existed...

If it seems that nothing that we have seen in the media may be true, so that would indeed include the Donald.

And to be consistent we must lump in Ben Fulford for good measure - after all, his contacts at the secret services / secret societies will tell him exactly what they want him to tell us...

Where does that leave us? With Socratic Wisdom, questioning everything, assuming nothing, and having to fall back on our own perceptions, however ill-informed we

Martin Geddes writes in from his "holiday"...

"Not everyone agrees on what a better world should look like, only that the one we have is unsatisfactory"

"How language is twisted so that we trick ourselves into surrendering what is already ours"

If we want a new system, it must be founded upon a common language with the common word meanings so that all participants stand on the same common ground for communication. OK, Geordie isn't the same as Scouse, but all Englishmen should be "King's English" capable, otherwise the Courts become unusable for all except the legal profession.

But I digress.

What else is missing?

"It is important to recognize that the mixed messaging exists because you are being lied to and once in a while you are fed a degree of truth to cling to while the technocratic slave system moves forward"

Quite so. Whilst most of us have better things to do than scan all of Trump's pronouncements for inconsistent messaging, some inconsistencies are too large to pass unnoticed!

So it is with "vaccines at warp speed".  Almost everybody knows that "vaccines are inherently dangerous" ever since Ronald Reagan elicited that response when he asked why Big Pharma couldn't make their vaccines safer. Since then they have been given legal protection from claims for damages due to "side effects", pitting individual claimants against the bottomless pockets of governments motivated to deny redress from their "compensation schemes".

That alone should tell us that government does not work for us!

So what incentives

Yes, Tony Blair gets a mention, and of course "Human Rights". In fact, name any prominent left-wing politician of today or yesteryear and he's likely to be connected to the Fabian Society.

If you're on the "Left" but not a Fabian today, then maybe you need to take stock... as you may be a revolutionary Marxist (Fabians like their march to power to be slow and incremental, Marxists like it fast and furious). 

"They are not the best lawyers... "

"It's... a cult that offers the not-very-able an easy access to public life... "

As we approach 9/11 2025 .. we might be forgiven for wondering what might be in store for us.

The previous examples are after all not auspicious.

Now you will have to work with this one - it's in German with American subtitles - vital subtitles that it seems Saddam Hussein may have missed. But unlike Saddam you can always press pause whilst you catch up.

It does end rather abruptly after not quite 17 minutes but it is only part 1 of 5...

And it is from 17 years ago (so don't expect any up to date issues to be so lampooned) but it does indicate how long this sh*t-show has been in gestation. And you are sure to be reminded of something, or to learn it afresh. After all, were we all taking an interest in the fakery of geopolitics, the media, American "special relationships" and everything else in 2008?

The latest anti-drone technology as developed for the US armed forces looks impressive, but what are its limitations and can it be outsmarted?

On the face of it, if the technology can be deployed in the necessary numbers and in all the right places, then it looks like a game-changer that would create a swift rethink of the currently well-oiled modes of battle in Ukraine and elsewhere.

The problem with poetry is that you can never be quite sure where you will end up.

So it is with Rudyard Kipling, that despised relic of white colonial life who believed that he could write some lines of words that somebody somewhere would find interesting, despite attending "the school of hard knocks", never studying at the right universities nor schooling in the intricacies of journalism politics and economics.

In the event he ended up with his name plastered all over the outside of packets of pre-manufactured (but "exceedingly nice") cakes in the supermarkets of his home country.

He had what we might think of as a hard childhood, was sent to an "inferior boarding school", and it was his real life experiences in England and in India that shaped his attitude to life, and no doubt his writings. He learned through doing (and being done

After the big parade featuring Xi Jin Ping as Chinese Leader, the political coast is clear for Xi to step down officially and for the new team to emerge. President Xi held several offices, but these will be split out to avoid concentrating all powers under one man.

So we (may) have: Party Secretary: Hu Chunhua, Premier: Wang Yang, PLA Chief: General Zhang Youxia,  if confirmed...

But will the CCP itself survive, and for how long?

This discussion brings out a number of points that deserve consideration.

It also points up the effective impossibility that any matters geopolitical will ever be addressed by a General Election - neither the public nor the system are ready to argue the complexities of our place in the world at election hustings (even if such could be addressed in the absurdly inadequate speaking times allowed!).

Patrick Henningsen and Chay Bowes provide some useful illumination.

It's obviously for our safety - well, maybe not for most of us just yet, but for our children, at least whilst they are in school, but we have to start somewhere.

With so many migrants of unknown provenance being unavoidably housed within society, the dangers are obvious and our government is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that our schoolchildren remain safe at school - who could possibly object to that?

It is true that kids previously used to unfettered ingress and egress may begin to feel a certain loss of freedom, perhaps even a tinge of claustrophobia, but no doubt they will soon get used to it. After all, the world is becoming an increasingly scary place and staying safe at all times by complying with the mandated safety restrictions is now an essential attitude to inculcate... but concerned parents

Andrew Bridgen, who was perhaps our only conscientious MP in the last Parliament, comments on his experiences in Parliament and outside.

"Every Institution that's there to protect the public interest has failed"

"We don't need reform, we need a radical change in the way that we are governed... we are going to have to have a reckoning for all of this... there'll have to be some very severe punishments given out... that's the only way the public is going to trust any of these institutions again... "
