Martin Geddes once more, this time trying to give us insight into the primary question of our time:

"What the Hell is going on?"

Making sense of the news (from wherever we may glean it) has never been more tricky - and certainly many believe that we can no longer (if ever we could) rely on the august probity of the BBC to interpret the news for us.

Take for example the Charlie Kirk phenomenon. That really does look like the proverbial rabbit-hole where it seems impossible to sort the truth from the multiple apparent misdirections.

So perhaps we need an investigatory framework within which to marshal the facts, the assertions, and indeed the improbable but not definitively excluded possibilities.

"You won’t need a PhD to join: reference frameworks and

Prof Jiang Xueqin talks to Danny Haiphong about the major geopolitical question just now - when and how might the Israel - Iran war be resumed?

And where will the US stand in such an event?

"... if it does that, then it's basically WW3... "

"... Britain is responsible for many of the global conflicts that have occurred the last 20 years... "

"Europe is about to collapse and the United States is washing its hands of it"

Well, if the EU is truly intent on picking a fight with its easterly neighbour, what is the US supposed to do about it?

"Western elites in Brussels, Berlin, and Paris are pushing Vladimir Putin into a corner — leaving him no choice but to defend Mother Russia"

"The elites want war without regard to reality"

"A top US general now says that NATO could seize Kaliningrad in just a matter of hours... "

If you're a general or maybe a politician, established habits of geopolitics and warfare die hard, and any incoming alien group (unless it arrives uninvited in small inflatables from mid-Channel) will likely be taken as a hostile force and met with military action. To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

But maybe this doesn't present the best way to interact with "aliens" that come our way.

For a start, whencever they come from, their technology is likely to be vastly more developed than ours, so they will assuredly have sent their scouts in advance, and will know to bring some primitive inflatables with them on a calm day. If they are friendly.

If not, we will have no answers should they decide to rumble us. Our best course therefore is likely to be to hold the military, offer respectful friendliness, and to try to learn as much as possible from them in

"Zionism" goes back a long way.

It has spread its factions all across Europe, Russia, the UK, and America, and (for all I know) almost everywhere else.

But what is it? Where did it come from, how did it prove so resilient that it now seems de facto to rule much of the world?

Why did we in England have a big hand in creating the State of Israel, and therefore everything else that flowed from that decision? No doubt the effects of WW2 on the Empire had something to do with it, but Zionists didn't waste much time in encouraging the British to leave by bombing the King David Hotel, in the lead up to the establishment of the State of Israel two years later. 

But perhaps we just

The only item missing this week is the eponymous prophet of doom walking up and down the High Street with his "The End is Nigh" message held defiantly aloft.

Instead we have an additional announcement under "Breaking News: "The Gaza and Ukraine wars are to be ended immediately"

OK, but how is all that going to be achieved all of a sudden?

Who is Trump? What is he? For whom does he work? 

What are the military and secret services up to now?

The natives are growing restless - and the Czech Republic has elected a dreadful populist...

and of course basket case France has lost another Prime Minister ..

It's a very full report this week, but

2025-10-05

The EU already has recalcitrant Hungary and Slovakia on its hands, so news that another dreadful populist has won a national election (isn't that what elections are for?!), in the Czech Republic, has them scrambling.

Some might unkindly suggest that their thinking is scrambled already, but in that case another election may not make all that much difference.

Sebastian brings us up to date.

No, not demos in the UK nor even the EU, this is about China.

"From censorship to secret recordings, this episode exposes the chilling intersection of China’s entertainment industry, state power, and superstition"

Shades of the USA?

"I must warn you, today's programme can be mentally disturbing... "

All this from the unflappable Madame Lei, perhaps the last person to get carried away without cause; but it's undeniably extreme, so don't discard your scepticism just yet...

According to Victor Orban, the EU is now pushing for a war footing against Russia. Hungary under Mr Orban is concerned that

"Europe is signing on to a climate of "endless war"..."

Mr Orban would like the EU to negotiate a long term Security Agreement with Russia, since war is not in their interests.

How sensible, how quaint, and how impossible for the EU leadership to contemplate.

The "Manchester Terror"...

First it was the Manchester Arena bombing, now it's an attack on a Manchester synagogue.

You couldn't make it up - the guy was actually named "Jihad" and was "on bail accused of rape" (according to the Telegraph).

If you wanted to mount a false flag attack to paint the Jews as innocent victims of a terrible crime perpetrated by a warlike follower of Mohammed, you probably couldn't have done a better job. Just when public opinion is not exactly favourable to Israel at the moment when it's embroiled with sporadic conflict with its neighbours, and (in the name of "self-defence") permanent conflict with Gaza's unhappy remaining

War in the Middle East - so what's new?

"... nobody's talking about the British role .. "

But they are talking about the role of the US, which can apparently still fight a war even whilst on shutdown...

So what's brewing?

But is everything as it seems?

Our favoured source for an independent view of the interminable Ukrainian tragedy still being pushed by those who will never learn, Sebastian Sas applies an appropriate measure of ridicule to his reports. At least it makes his presentations of unending catastrophic mismanagement entertaining. Regime change beckons, but which regime?

Readers are advised to read up on our "Down the Rabbit Hole" series, where we introduce ideas that are way "out there", but which might have big implications if they turn out to be true. 

So treat it as ridiculous, as entertainment (recommended), as advance information, or as you wish. As with all such items, detailed accuracy is likely to be dodgy - treat with care.

... Nothing is as it seems. Well, maybe some things still are, but who's to know?

So What on Earth is going on?

Is Trump a war-monger or a peace-maker? Can he make his mind up?

Is 31ATLAS real? Is it doing what we are told it's doing? Is it part of the war? Who is to know?

The only thing I know (I think!) is that we know nothing (except perhaps that which we have observed with our own senses - but even those observations may be suspect if Yuval Noah Harari has had his way and we've all been hacked with injectable self-assembling micro-circuits and unknowingly joined the Internet of Things - apparently "They" do have to tell us what "They" are up to).

And anyway, what war?

Precisely - it's a covert war, fought not on traditional battlegrounds for control of populations by force of arms, but in our heads, in our minds,

With Pete Hegseth telling the US Military (and the world) how the current administration views the notion of defense war, what does this portend?

Is it anything new, even anything good?

Or has Trump totally flipped and openly become Netanyahu's puppet?
