OK, I'll keep this short.

We are now many years into the age of climate catastrophes foretold by the sages of yesteryear, yet I'm still wracking my memory hole to find a single prediction that accurately (even sort of) predicted something that then did indeed happen.

Other than COPnn boondoggles of course.

Polar bears are still gambolling in waters too cold to contemplate, New York is still above water (is their latest electoral triumph a wheeze to try to submerge it after all?), and renewables still can't compete with fossil fuels and government-contrived green "support" schemes.

Most such failures can be overlooked but that last one threatens not only our winter comforts but also our nation's prosperity, so we (and the government) overlook it at our peril.

Shrödinger's Cat is infamous in scientific circles for being shut in a box.

According to quantum theory, the cat is in an indeterminate state, neither alive nor dead, until the box is opened - at that point of being observed, the state of the cat crystallizes into one of it's two possible states: alive or dead - until then by "quantum superposition" it may be considered both (potentially) alive and (potentially) dead.

Here Alex Krainer reviews the intentions of President Trump which appear on multiple fronts to be subject to the same rules - until he visibly enacts a policy, that policy may be one thing or may be something else - nobody can be sure until he takes it out of the box...

Totally erratic, or deliberately unclear? Certainly radically novel and rather unsettling when applied

Deep Dive on Charlie Kirk

Ben reports this week on the recent meeting between "Trump" and "Xi", the threatening of Maduro in Venezuela, and the general world of geopolitics.

Yes, we're still in the world of ongoing confusion where nothing apparently ever gets resolved, but no faction has ultimate control.

Well, we live here, so do we not know our fate?

Equally, if that fate has still to be decided, how could we already know it?

And in so far as our political settlement has perhaps never been in such trouble since the English Civil War, it may well have to be decided, and perhaps more shortly than we have been lazily inclined to believe...

"The Office for National Statistics may not yet publish a Sedition Index, but the figures are suggestive enough"

"Even a small fraction of that disaffected cohort... would rival the active membership of every radical movement in modern British history – and with far better broadband"

David Betz and Michael Rainsborough writing in the Daily Sceptic hit multiple nails right on the head in this considerable piece on the state of the Nation today. This is a huge topic so don't expect all your favourite grievances to

If the War of 1812 is of interest, then so perhaps is this discussion of an historical artefact made in the preceding century for Empress Elizabeth I of Russia. After all, if the French and Russians were not fighting amongst themselves in 1812, then whom were they fighting?

Beyond that question however, there does seem to be more than meets the eye to this seemingly slightly unwanted artefact that graces a corner of the Kremlin, showing as it may Russia's eastern neighbour of a century earlier...

Napoleon's war on Russia and the burning of Moscow, followed by his long and tragic march back through the Russian winter, is accepted history.

Including by Leo Tolstoy, author of War and Peace, written half a century or so after the events thereinportrayed. 

But are we learning that not everything we thought we knew may be accurate ..?

Lots of dubious "content" on social media and elsewhere re the phenomenon known as 3I/Atlas, mostly speculation, and perhaps mostly excitable in nature, and definitely influenced by a huge dollop of hype for purposes that remain obscure.

So who better to disperse this hype than the very unexcitable but hugely knowledgeable Ken Walker?

Scott Ritter on the MOAT show.

It's still the same message, with a twist.

"It's a death sentence to be sent to the front line"

Yes, it's still a war of attrition. Both on the Ukrainian battlefield, and on the international political battlefield.

And Scott has some pithy comments to make about the Venezuela situation...

Mood music or firm results?

It seems to have been over very quickly, implying that they were just crossing the "i"s and dotting the "t"s.

So "who won?".

The technocracy of tomorrow is incoming today, and the lightning speed of technological development isn't short of the BIG BUCKS that will speed it on its way.

So what do we have in store for us if we inadvertently allow Big Tech to pierce a crack in our armour? They have already shown us that they won't hesitate to claim our acquiescence even if they didn't bother to do the "informing" part of "informed consent".

And they don't show any sign of changing their ways, even as they show every sign of changing our's.

Once we let them into our minds to "enhance our thinking" through "the power of AI" (or they do it anyway without openly saying so), then it's open season to do as they please with us; our consent to their dystopia will be automatically theirs through the wonders of technology.

If the AI doesn't approve of us thinking "no", it will simply "enhance our thinking" so that we think "yes!". Job

This is part 2 of Nick Griffin's discourse on how the world's humanity is being rearranged by the powers that shouldn't be, and what we could and should perhaps do about it - if anything.

This is probably the great issue of our time, and we cannot underestimate it, but do we actually, really and truly, understand it? Have we looked beyond the knee-jerk alarm to analyse its effects, even to apply the "so what?" test to separate the intrinsically unproblematic from the definitely unsustainable?

This will be a long road, along which we have already travelled a considerable distance without much understanding of the eventual destination - time to apply some seriously overdue and unemotional thinking and to begin to rate our various options.

If we would know who will rule the world, we must first learn who currently rules our world.

Who owns our world? And at that level, what does "own" mean?

Patty Greer and Penny Kelly have a go at explaining current times and why Israel and Ukraine are so central to somebody's agenda...

Warning - if you haven't been figuring much of this out already, you are in for a crash course of "conspiracy theory" facts that you will not be prepared for, so put the kettle on and settle down for a bumpy ride. On the plus side, I can't think of a nicer couple than Penny and Patty to bring you up to speed in a most down to earth way. Your task (should you accept it!) is to gain as much understanding as possible, not to provide the answers - plenty of others have undertaken some of

I used to understand that the UK had the highest electricity prices in Europe, but it's NOT TRUE!

The UK is not in Europe!

That honour goes to Germany, still busy deindustrialising and determinedly destroying nuclear power plants that could have been reopened.

Or not - it's a close-run contest!

Perhaps we could lend them Ed Miliband to assist in their project whilst we reverse course, reopen North Sea exploration and invest in some SMRs before the AI nerds book the next 30 years production?

The "assassination" of Charlie Kirk provokes a multitude of questions, for which it has been clear that only a very deep dive into all of the multiple aspects of the case would stand any chance of reaching something like the truth of the event.

I don't know whether such a deep dive has actually been successful yet or not, but clearly enough time has now elapsed for some reasonable attempts to have been made.

Or maybe not...

And Sheriff Mack is no lightweight, so probably worth our time. Provided we don't have too high expectations...
