Or is it already too late?

Perhaps the AI Grand Master is already pulling the strings controlling all the world's governments?

Who is to say?

If so, then the AI GM is doing a pretty good job to persuade us that these are governments that don't work for their people and need to be abolished.

In stock market terms AI is the latest boom, carrying the hopes of millions either to fruition or destruction - as always there will be few winners and plenty of losers.

But perhaps an AI can pick the winners?!

But I digress. 

Latest moves by the (self-appointed?) leaders of the pack are to hype up the fear and to advocate their own "expert" (= pet) regulators to police the pack in the name of the government. After all, AI is a complex business and where else are competent experts

Congress is at war with the Trump administration.

Both parties in Congress have filed impeachment articles against the Secretary for War.

The House had to vote on the matter within two legislative days.

So the House was sent home on recess until after the mid-term election. No session > no vote > no impeachment.

Boris Johnson was taken to Court for proroguing Parliament, if memory serves...  and lost.

This is lawfare, it isn't democracy, however corrupt the institutions concerned may be.

Latest viewpoint form across the pond.

Including what one must assume is a Trumpian notion that the UK should be broken up.

Since England is the one with the constitution that begat the Constitution of the United States, maybe we should consider that returning to that Constitution (as far as may be practical) might be no bad thing in principle, although there would be a huge amount of detail to be worked out and "stuff" to be repealed.

There again, if Europe (post collapse of the EU) is to become a Russian protectorate (work with me here - the Russians may think they would be mad to want it!) then the Uk would have to decide with which power block to align.

Whatever transpires, things are not going back to the old normal...

If you thought that the past looked difficult, the future doesn't look promising either.

Nick Griffin introduces us to the simple mathematics that tells us the shape of the incoming problem.

It isn't pretty.

And the options are all unfamiliar, so will be extremely taxing to those who dislike unfamiliarity. Which is most of us, as it's familiarity that makes life efficient. The more change we have to cope with, the less efficient society becomes.

It's a double-whammy.

And "they" want to start a war with Russia on top?

And it's not a message from a Chinese source, but from well-respected financial analyst Alex Krainer.

Yes I'm sure that there are faults with the Chinese system of central dictatorship, but one has to recognise that coherent planning of national infrastructure such as railways and national transportation can be neither supervised nor financed at a local level.

So have the Chinese proved that Central Planning can be done with the overall interests of the population at large in mind? 

And can they maintain that emphasis into the future when infrastructure needs maintenance, modernising, even wholesale replacement, without the creation of massive piles of junk hardware that nobody wants and has nowhere to go? Or will they like Amtrack end up with obsolete dysfunctional and unreliable infrastructure that they just keep running because it's there?

Or will the "great reset" and "awakening" of humanity remove the

Once again Promethean Action looks at the world through a financial lens, and notes that progress toward peace is looking promising. At least between the US and Russia.

Although the inhabitants of Port Stanley may not be too pleased... nor the unelected rulers of the EU who are finding their war with Russia undermined at every turn.

The English are slow to rouse, but maybe we are starting to find out what we are now going to do, having been roused.

Certainly balaclavas are very un-English. We don't mask up as a rule in order to protest, but it does need to be noted that in the age of universal surveillance with cameras on every street corner, every mile of highway, and CCTV scanning every supermarket (although nobody ever "gets their collar felt" for pilfering, so  work that one out), maybe protesters understandably now feel a need to respond appropriately.

"CJ Strachan" writing at length in the Daily Sceptic reviews the background history that has led us to this pass, and makes a goodly fist of spelling out the real crux of the problem - we have voted for immigration controls over many years, politicians have promised to reduce immigration over many

As we all attempt to reorient ourselves after the summer holiday season, the kids go back to their indoctrination campus, and life resumes its normal rhythms, Ben has struck a day early this week with his summary of where we are in the war for the world.

This requires some close concentration - for over an hour.

Yes it's Brendon O'Connell again talking us through his analyses of where the world is heading and who the (many!) hidden hands may be.

So make yourself comfy, wet towel to hand, steel yourself and plough in.

There's a lot of detail here so pay attention. Adults only...

Sometimes it takes an outsider looking in to notice what actually went on.

In this case its an Aussie who identifies the European connection to the usurpation of the American revolution by the European powers.

And all prompted by a syllable "misspoken" by the Donald.

Yes, defence completely depends on the necessary financial arrangements.

New pastures may beckon for Sir Keir.

After all, with Russia obstinately refusing to knuckle under to plucky Ukraine (now reportedly conscripting women to swell their ever-shrinking front lines), perhaps the time is right for new leadership in NATO. And who better to take up the reins than legal eagle Sir Keir?

That should sort them out.

Still, where will they find another Labour "big beast" to plug the hole in Holborn and St Pancras constituency? After all, the biggest beast they could lay hands on last time was Andy Burnham (who?). But wait, what's his name again? Millibrain? No, that doesn't sound quite right...

Well whatever his name is, he too may well be looking for pastures new, as the

Ben's report this week illustrates how hard it is these days to tease out from the fog of misinformation what may actually be going on "on the ground" and "on/under the sea".

Frankly, I doubt most of the pundits know. I doubt if Ben knows, despite his multiple contacts, since they will each of them tell him what they want us to believe and AI can fake almost anything.The comments beneath this week's report are instructive... 

About the only thing I'm reasonably sure about is that the Zelenskyy regime is hanging on by its fingernails and that the EU will be falling apart sooner rather than later.

What we do know is that Trump is the most extraordinary fellow to occupy the presidency, certainly in living memory and probably much longer.Norms and conventions are regularly flouted and contradictions (and probably false flags) abound, leaving us all in a state of confusion - but that he is managing to reshape the world

I don't believe that these are protests against Islam specifically (although I'm sure there are plenty of miscreants who would like to so categorise these matters).

But they are certainly against what passes for our government for letting in - nay, welcoming - illegal immigrants of all descriptions and none (but strangely mostly young men) apparently indiscriminately.

One has to ask why we bother with immigration laws at all when we apparently fund the French to shepherd boatloads of illegal migrants across the channel. Of course we are told that we are funding them to stop the flow...  but the flow keeps on coming, so that's obviously untrue.

It has reached such heights of absurdity that something has got to give - our task is to make sure that it's our government that gives, rather than the peace.

Easy to say, harder to do.
