The recent multiple false flag attacks get some analysis, Congress is supposed to ratify the Trump presidency today 6th Jan (but will there be Congressmen available to do this?), the fog of war has literally descended across the US and elsewhere (fog in winter? Who'd a thought it?), and China is up to no good (just for a change).

Yes, apparently things are happening, but to what ends remains as impenetrable as ever.

Have matters reached peak pandemonium yet?

The situation in the Middle East has changed dramatically with the fall of Syria, so to whose advantage does the new reality (in so far as we understand it) actually work?

One might suspect that it may fall to Turkey, since they took the trouble to send in their army, something that they have not previously done.

Scott Ritter brings us up to date with his thinking on Syria.

In the immediate aftermath of the Syrian collapse, Scott seemed uncharacteristically a bit less than surefooted in his analysis, but he has plainly been working to fill in the gaps in his knowledge.

Today he updates us on the historical complexities of a region to which power rivalries dating back beyond WW1 have not been kind.

"The popping of this everything bubble will be written about in history books, like the South Sea Bubble, Tulip Mania Bubble, The Mississippi Bubble, 1920s Stock Market Bubble, and Dotcom Bubble" - only quite possibly worse...

"While the controllers continue to pump the stock and crypto markets, luring more suckers in at all-time highs, in the real-world average Americans are in deep trouble, as the fake pandemic savings have evaporated and trying to sustain themselves, amidst Biden’s 20% to 40% inflation, on credit cards has run its course, with default rates now at fourteen-year highs

The King has delivered his Christmas Message to the nation - so where are we now?

Just as this site doesn't do party politics, we don't do religious division, which stands a high chance of immediate degeneration into arguments over religious dogma. We prefer arguments over evidence and logic, and whilst we recognise that hard undisputed evidence may sometimes be in short supply, logic suffers no such shortfall.

This little video was created by a Christian of the Catholic denomination (I assume Roman Catholic). In our historically Protestant country, Catholics, like anybody else of any faith or none, may yet speak the truth!

Scott Ritter reviews the prospect for the war in Ukraine when Donald Trump takes the reins in the US.

Moving on, he comments on the latest options for the Middle East, then a tail-piece on North Korea.

OK, with Christmas done and dusted, now is the time to return to the hard realities... well, certainly hard as opposed to easy, but maybe not hard as in 'we can physically hit it and we hurt'.

So set aside all that left-over Christmas pudding that we couldn't face down on top of all the previous courses (not to mention glasses) that we faced down pre-yesterday (there, I gave us a day already to recover), we have serious, and yes, difficult, concepts to bend our minds around going forward. And best to get our poor heads around it whilst still feeling at least slightly mellow, so we may approach it in relaxed fashion and regard it without the usual 'that's way too hard for me just now' feeling that means that we never get started.

This is, fairly exceptionally, one for the dyed-in-the wool conspiracy theorists, so listen up. The rest us can sit back, relax, and continue in mellow tranquillity with whatever we were going to do today - this is way too deep for us.

With governments around the world in crisis, how will the clashes between countries / power blocks evolve?

The aspects to this are economic, and political/military. Now that money-printing nears exhaustion, what will transpire?

Will governments go to war to impose a command economy, feeding the war in place of the aspirations of their people? How that would turn out is best not tested, but may be inevitable.

The Middle East is pivotal, and showing no signs of settling down.

Ivor Cummins and Dr Jacob Nordangard discuss the ideologies that have shaped our history since good Queen Beth and her spymaster John Dee.

Are today's events not but continuation of a centuries old movement?

Religions, rituals, dogma, secret societies, freemasons... it's not what you believe that matters, it's what they believed that counts.

Some hold similar beliefs today, and who is to say they are wrong, in the dawning age of ontology where physics is based upon consciousness?

Ukraine / Syria centre stage, and President Putin setting out his analysis.

There's much power-play going on behind closed doors, largely unknowable. The only thing obvious is that there is no going back to the status quo ante.

And what exactly is "Greater Turkey"?

French and now German governments gone, what better time for Starmer to rejoin the UK into the collapsing EU? Would you bet against it?

"German lawmakers voted to dissolve the existing government by a vote of 394 to 207, with 116 abstaining"

No small margin then.

"... the political uncertainty could last for months"

Is this what happens when green pie-in-the-sky meets putting bread on the table?

Oh dear. Russia is beginning to look like a bastion of stability, with China not far behind.

Still, with the EU Commission and the EU Parliament, what need for national governments?

Mark Rutte, the much loved Prime Minister of whom the Dutch have only recently rid themselves, has been appointed to head up NATO (well, there was a vacancy and Mark was available - one can't let senior figures like Mark fend for themselves on the open market).

True to form he is now making waves across NATO with his demand to put the organisation "on a war footing" to deal with the perceived threat from those dastardly Russians. Yes, he's at least five years (probably ten) too late to build the necessary European armaments industry to a size and capability capable of matching the Russians, but like Ed Milliband, he can commandeer as much money as it takes to deal with this existential threat.

"Ukrainians are fighting against Russian swarms of drones. That’s what we need to be prepared for"

But wait - isn't Climate Change also an imminent existential threat?

Doesn't Ed Milliband have priority as the

The sudden collapse of Syria took nearly everybody by surprise, changing the dynamic of geopolitics in the Middle East almost overnight.

In fact, the events were so fast so unexpected and so dramatic that "conspiracy theorists" are naturally looking behind the reported events, to see whether the motivations of both the participants and non-participants might indicate explanations other than the "collapse due to internal endemic corruption" narrative so far put forward.

Danny Haiphong / Brian Berletic discuss.

If you have not already, read "They are Here" before going further.

So - it's likely to be not only a meeting of civilisations (if our current status can be so described) but also a meeting of advanced technologies, very different cultural and societal norms (will the Germans still be able to bag the best poolside/beach seats?), not to mention communication norms enabling multiplicitous methods of generating misunderstandings.

What could possibly go wrong?!

Two videos from Scott Ritter on one subject on one day may seem excessive, but it's hard to overstate the changes that have been wrought in the Middle East by the Syrian collapse.

It's no exaggeration to say that the politics of the region have been reversed, thrown into turmoil. The situation will take time to settle into some semblance of clarity.

Syria overthrown, Hezbollah cut off from Iran's supplies, pressure on Israel's Netanyahu massively eased, and the Israelis losing no time in taking ground in Syria and bombing military installations apparently almost unopposed.

Not to mention the pressure now being turned on Iran.

This video explores the political fall-out from the recent events, the roles played by Russia and Turkey, and not least by President Assad.

What future now for the Palestinians of Gaza and the West Bank?
