We know that Trump isn't a conventional politician.

So when he talks of "joining the British Commonwealth" it is likely a ploy to provoke a counter-move in the direction that he actually wants to promote.

Still, this move is so out of line with the original intent of the American founding fathers that it demands some sort of analysis - what is he up to?!

1) It may be a straight distraction that he has no intention of progressing through to a finish - but it will set tongues wagging about something that is only there to distract attention rather than wagging about what is really going on behind the publicity. 

2) He could be using it to focus attention on the absurdities of King Charles and the Privy Council, that currently directs matters colonial / ex-colonial. "Canada" springs to mind but it could be more far-reaching.

3) Perhaps it's just an opening gambit in

No, it's not Big Pharma, Big Politics, and at heart it may not even be "Big" anything, but it is powerful and does have far more influence and control than any self-respecting democracy should tolerate.

Dr Steven Greer, who has spent a lifetime investigating and documenting its activities, brings us up to date with his conclusions (so far... ) in this extensive interview - you may need to schedule your attendance as it's well over three hours!

The irresistible force has met the immovable object, and what will be the result?

Scott Ritter explains what's going on, and doesn't mince his words.

"It's about what's happening internally - we've never faced a threat like this"

Outstanding. 

Plus an end-piece on the state of the Ukraine "peace process".

We traditionally consider engineering to be associated with the design of things: clocks and cars that work, software that sits in a computer and works, medicines that work.

Covid has shown us that that last "medicines that work" may not be as simple as it appears.

Sometimes it seems that medicines may perform differently than advertised, although you have to start asking supplementary questions, such as "advertised by whom?".

It rather comes down to the definition of that weasel word "work". And it turns out that it can have variable meanings dependent upon whom you ask, why you ask, and what might be the consequences of a wrong answer.

In the age TV and newspapers - the printed word - we make assumptions about the accuracy of what we are reading depending upon our view of the publisher - how reliable is this source?

In times past we viewed all the major "serious"

This goes back a long way.

Jeffrey Sachs speaks at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum on 12th April 2025 on the effect of US-Israel foreign policy in the Middle East.

Forget all the ins and outs of complexity - there is one primary cause of the wars in the Middle East, according to Jeffrey Sachs.

A wide-ranging report majoring on the many facets of the world's financial arrangements, and who gets to control them. It's still all about the money.

In a major move the US is talking (almost) directly with Iran, thus opening the way to a peaceful outcome between these nations which isn't dictated by Israel.

With European "leaders" still posturing ineffectively and the fate of the world probably hanging in the balance somewhere between Iran China Russia and the US, who in various ways all now seem to be talking to each other, perhaps we can hope for positive outcomes that may later cascade out to the rest of the world.

Eventually.

If the last half-decade shows us anything, it shows us that the Donald is not to be underestimated.

So here we present a different view of the Trump "second term", and how it may develop.

One thing is now clear: he is setting about wrecking the comfortable assumptions that underlay the previous world political order, and he challenges the world to rebuild something better. Will the world explode, implode, or will it respond positively?

This article sets out to explain how the positive response may look - but has anybody told Ed Milliband?

Will VW now build tanks for the BundesWehr ?

Words fail. The European rhetoric shows that the EU "leaders" really do believe their own propaganda. 

What will it take to bring them back to reality?

Ben's report today covers a whole lot of ground, treading on many toes that would certainly prefer to have been left untrodden.

As always, for the full read you will need a modest subscription.

One is left with the distinct impression that many flapping chickens are about to come home to roost over the next weeks. It's hard to see how this will be pretty, but it isn't likely to be dull...

Trigger warning - unsuitable for children.

We all heard the story of how Boris Johnson took a trip to Kiev allegedly to tell Zelensky to break off the talks with Russia, that had taken place to end the initial Russian Special Military Operation.

What on earth was that about?

Here to paint the overall picture is Scott Ritter once more. We are all familiar with the idea that the CIA has been pulling the strings behind more or less everything untoward that goes on in the world, but maybe we should ask who the CIA (and maybe even the Mossad) work for?

Are the Donald's threats to obliterate Iran (a) reasonable and (b) practicable?

Does Iran have nuclear weapons? Can the USA deploy nuclear weapons successfully?

This is 23 minutes of precise argument, and both parties and the host deserve great credit for getting together to make this video.

Redacted talks to Christine Anderson - who neatly explains the way in which the CIA engineered regime change in Ukraine, thus setting in motion the continuing conflict.

"People no longer like EU because they see it for the Hell-hole that it is ... "

"... when you are in a situation like that, when your power seems to... fade away, what do you do? You pick a fight with someone... "

"... they need to control every aspect of every single citizen's life, they need to control your thinking..."

We have TCW Daily to thank for today's bon mot, although what is bon about it is for us all to decide.

Now that we have "left the EU" to pursue our own national interests, it may surprise nobody that our shiny new prime minister is busy signing us up to all the individual aspects of EU membership - especially Defence - although somehow none of this has attracted any attention from the media, or indeed from anyone else. No doubt we will shoulder the real costs in return for its fabled benefits in due course.

"A pact which... is ‘a mechanism to make the UK subject to the orders of the EU Commission on foreign affairs and defence policy [and] as far as the EU is concerned, a carbon copy of that proposed by Theresa May in 2018-2019’."

Marxism, neo-Marxism, New-World-Order-ism, whatever it is, it isn't friendly and it is neither compliant nor resonant with Biblical instruction:

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.This is the first and great commandment.And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets"  Mathew 22:37-40

We have been treated to any number of opinions about what should be done to secure peace in the Ukraine.

But so far we haven't heard from the main player in dominant position: President Putin.

So here he is to put that right:

With Germany and much of Europe (perhaps excluding Hungary) relentlessly investing in power provision that doesn't work, yet still desperately dreaming of upping its investments in arms and munitions "for the "defence of Europe",  and the UK simply trying to stabilise its sinking economy, what is Russia up to, now that the West has forced it to ramp up its military to attack the bandits in Ukraine, a country that it used to control under the USSR, which assumed independence post-USSR - and (post the CIA-inspired Maidan revolution of 2014) became a proxy of UK/USA/NATO under the Biden Pretendency?

Ivor Cummins talks with George Gammon of Rebel Capitalist about the causes and people involved in stoking the culturally alien immigration volumes incoming across western Europe the UK and Ireland.

"... they're doing a couple of hundred I-path immigrant centres, their building big what look like military barracks... they're bringing in so many illegal migrants they're literally having to build industrial-scale facilities just to house them... "

"... they're all together on this... they've decided a messed-up smashed-up culturally weak historically unaware consumer blob in the West is what we want... "

Much good sense spoken in this video. 

"The whole welfare system is turned like an enormous firehose to grow the migrant problem - there's no question about it"
