In one of the most illuminating posts for a long time, Ben reveals his viewpoint that the world is undergoing a seismic political realignment, of which the fall of Damascus is but the first and most obvious major element.

That Russia should have supported it speaks volumes, and may perhaps give the lie to the notion that Israel was behind it.

The next weeks and months will see huge changes.

"... contacts in Damascus strongly suggest a transition of power deal has already been made"

A deal that would seem to be primarily to Israel's advantage.

ZeroHedge summarises the latest attacks that have seen control of significant parts of Aleppo (including the airport) pass to the jihadists. It seems that whilst attention was distracted elsewhere, Syria neglected to keep a sufficient garrison in Aleppo and the attack was quickly accomplished.

Reportedly the attack benefitted from intelligence supplied by Turkey, a NATO member.

What does the future hold for our benighted world?

When all the talk is talk of war, who will dare to talk of peace?

When even talk of previously unthinkable nuclear exchanges is on the table, who will insist on talking of peace?

What money can talk louder than the threat of nuclear Armageddon?

What does the failure of the UK Whole of Government audit along with the failure of the US Pentagon audit tell us about the government priorities on both sides of the Atlantic?

Mike Yeadon on his Telegram Channel pulls up a couple of interesting articles that go to the heart of the factors that make a scamdemic possible - or in opposition, impossible.

Enjoy!

First up - how they may likely have done it first time around, the 1918 Spanish Flu (and did much the same the Covid time around). At least we were (mostly) spared the spraying of poisonous substances everywhere (unless perhaps we lived in certain parts of China).

Secondly - how to avoid falling for it all. The number one attribute that parents and teachers must develop in our kids to equip them to spot and sidestep these pan-societal illusions with an appropriate degree of nonchalance.

With Ukraine facing defeat and Israel on the back foot after 70 years of expansion and sporadic conflict, Iran now takes centre stage of global geopolitics, as they have convincingly demonstrated the technical superiority of their weaponry over the Israelis.

It is no exaggeration to say that the legendary Israeli invincibility has been stopped.

Where the Middle East (now redubbed "West Asia" for reasons uncertain) goes from here is unclear, but Iran does seem to be the pivot point of undeniable influence.

Nick Hubble notes the opioid smuggling into the USA (not to mention Europe & UK).

Trump's proposed import tariffs are being leveraged by the need to stop this trade,  the precursors to fentanyl being reportedly sourced from Chinese factories.

The Chinese were on the receiving end of the original opium wars, prosecuted by the British, and others in their interests of trading Chinese tea silk etc not for the silver that the Chinese demanded, but for the opium grown by the British in India.

Nuclear Armageddon has never been closer - one false step could bring it on.

Time to reprise and update the popular CND protest marches in support of nuclear disarmament of the 1950s and 1960s?

Something must be done, and letting our popular government continue to do as it pleases doesn't seem to cut it.

"Former military Commander-in-Chief and Ukraine’s current ambassador to the UK, Valery Zaluzhny, has warned that World War Three is already underway"

Well, maybe he should know.

I've been featuring reports from various commentators over the past years, they have mostly been pointing toward ultimate defeat by Russia, and that direction has not yet been turned despite years of the West providing support and ever more capable munitions to the Ukraine. It has reportedly been a slaughter.

Why not give peace negotiations a chance?

Fulford White Dragon Report - Monday 25 Nov 2024

Neil Oliver reminds us that Russia invaded the Donbas out of the need to defend itself from NATO encroachment onto its borders (not to mention disgust that the Minsk agreements were negotiated in bad faith,then ditched).

With NATO bombs now falling inside Russia, how do we expect Mr Putin to react, or (if at all) to negotiate?

If Trump cannot de-escalate tout suite, then Russia will likely take out munitions factories in the UK EU & US; if we persist, Russians may be marching up Whitehall (if we are lucky) or we may be surveying the result of a nuclear exchange (if unlucky enough to survive such).

He covers a great deal of ground here, including how relations between the UK and the United States may develop in the future. Of course not to omit the golf courses of the Trump empire!

Nor to omit the conflicts of the Ukraine and Israel, and other geopolitical factors that afflict our world.

Oh, and farmers.

Interest of Justice points out that the European nations - well, their Foreign Ministers anyway - I don't recall that any of them asked their electorates - have got together to publish a joint declaration on defence - naturally defence against the presumed aggressor to the East who must be resisted at all costs - costs that will inevitably now fall on the EU rather than on Trump's America. 

Given that the EU plus US combined efforts over several years have resulted in the deaths of over half a million Ukrainian soldiers and an ever advancing and ever larger Russian army that has destroyed almost all the fighting equipment previously sent to the Ukraine, and continued to relentlessly take ground in furtherance of military objectives rather than headlines, it's unclear to me how this defence will be accomplished given that the EU without the US will struggle to mount even a limited campaign even if it could muster its troops toward the front lines.

Pepe Escobar reports from the convocation in Brazil.

Not to mention the Biden decision to authorise ATACMS attacks by Ukraine on Russia - the first salvo has already been fired.

If you have an old nuclear bunker locally to you, now might be a good time to get it swept out, restocked, and don't forget the loo-paper...
