Speculation is rife, arguments and counter arguments are traded, but for informed analysis we turn to Scott Ritter, a man whose life has been immersed in geo-politics and the military - if he doesn't have an informed opinion, I don't know who has.

Crimea now reportedly without a fresh water source.

Not to mention flooding, and water used for cooling a nuclear power plant.

This will not end well.

Ukraine will wake the Europeans (eventually) to the calamitous nature of America's foreign interventions (aided and abetted by UK and EU politicians).

This is a masterclass in the last three quarters century of history, covering the failings of our western corporate leaders, the seemingly limitless corruption of our western political classes, the dominance of the military-industrial complex, and the total failure of western leadership to manage the resulting mess.

All this, from Vietnam through Afghanistan, Kuwait, Irag, the Middle East, (not to mention Kosovo, Libya, and several others) and culminating now in the destruction in Ukraine, this two-part video reviews the historical record, how it came about, and whither it has led us.

The second part reviews the picture on the ground in the Ukraine, and how it may or may not develop - that topic has been covered already to some extent, and it hasn't turned against Russia's favour. Really, it adds a bit

Scotland Today reports on a conspiracy theory that is apparently under investigation in Kiev.

It's a brave bit of reporting, given that Volodymyr is such a central character in the Russo-Ukraine conflict that has proved so disastrous both for the Ukrainians and (to a lesser extent) for much of Europe.

If the case is proven, then the knock-on effects would potentially bring down a number of western governments... so I wouldn't expect this to be admitted publicly any time soon. We await developments.

The latest developments in the Ukraine, following the fall of Bakhmut. 

How deep does NATO involvement go? 

UK and US politicians haven't exactly distanced themselves from the conflict at any time since it started, apparently believing (along with all our famously "independent" and "unbiased" and now unquestioning media) that negotiations with Russia to end it would not somehow be appropriate.

Ambassador Andrei Kelin interviewed by the BBC's impartial Laura Kuenssberg.

It's not my place to comment, so I won't.

It's for each of us to make up our own minds.

A roller-coaster of a report this week, indicating many things that we thought true to be false, alongside evidence that more bad actors are being uncovered world-wide. The landscape is changing.

How much longer can this tottering edifice continue to totter?

Hopefully, we will find out soon...

Mahyar Tousi spills the beans on the immigration situation - both legal and illegal.

Mahyar isn't one to get overexcited about nothing, but here he quotes chapter and verse.

This isn't a new situation - it's frankly been obvious for a while that this whole situation is deliberate.

It is well known that the UK pays France significant sums to prevent migrants from crossing the Channel.

It is also well known that this expenditure doesn't appear to be value for money.

This report goes some way to explaining what is going on.

A significant report.

Imran Khan - at the centre of dispute and unrest in Pakistan - "arrested" - now "freed" by order of the Supreme Court - it's complicated...

Noteworthy comment from PM Rishi Sunak: 

"The UK of course has a long-standing and close relationship with Pakistan... the arrest of the former prime minister is an internal matter for Pakistan - we support peace talks, democratic processes, and adherence to the rule of law... "

(Good to know - so when will you be recommending peace talks and democratic processes in the Ukraine instead of feeding their war machine with ever more money munitions and weapons?)

Mr Putin commands perhaps the most competent and best armed military in the world, against which NATO seems determined to wage a proxy war in the Ukraine, apparently to the last Ukrainian standing -  and what then?

Even if you think Mr Putin a madman bent on world domination, your best advice is to "know thine enemy".

The BBC did report the event but presents merely selected quotes. So we have no hesitation in turning to Saudi "Al Arabia" (English subtitles) for his actual speech.

Mahyar Tousi is probably about as English as we are. Albeit he is of Persian extraction, he is also an advocate for individual freedom, tolerance, and personal integrity, all fundamental values of the English, even if not practised by English politicians and the British "establishment" (you know who you are - and so now do most of us).

So in some respects he is well placed to criticise those who come here to further causes that are not perceived as wholly peaceful, tolerant, and supportive of individual freedom.

We may not be satisfied with our top-down government, but is substitution by yet another form of top-down control really the answer?

It's the oldest trick - make up the myth of a controlling deity and interpose your own person between man and God. The Roman empire has been at it since Constantine "converted", as the Vatican could attest, and the same trick has likely been played by Biblical leaders since Moses went up the mountain to get his

An unlikely headline you may think, but Scott Ritter explains it in a few seconds flat.

And I would say that he's on the button.

Question is, will they go to war with Ukraine / NATO, or will Ukraine respond to China's offer to intermediate some negotiations before it gets totally out of hand?

" ... on April 1st, Ukraine was supposed to sit down in Istanbul and sign a peace treaty with Russia - but NATO intervened...  "  (I suspect that was April 2022)

"... I say this as an American who doesn't want to die... "

"... ultimately, that's his only viable option... "

Th WHO is never one to pass up an opportunity to increase its powers, and if necessary is perfectly prepared to debate and assign to itself additional powers that purport to extend its constitutional powers without reference to any democratic mandate.

"... this constitution will be fundamentally changed by the two instruments that are in the pipeline  following the Covid-19 pandemic..."

" The WHO is domiciled in Geneva... it's employees are exempt from tax and they and their families all have diplomatic immunity... "

"... it is indeed a supranational body, unelected and unaccountable"

"The original ideals of the WHO and WHA were completely laudable... "

"Who is now funding the WHO? Like many of our regulators in the UK: The MHRA (86% funded by industry sources), the JCVI member's personal declarations declared more than

If Benjamin Fulford is right that Ukraine war is to all intents and purposes over, then this little review of the state of European relations by Thomas Fazi is timely.

Europe is a big place and includes many countries, not all of which are members of the EU.

My own view is that the EU is corrupt and will fall, but what do I know?

If Russia will halt her war in the Ukraine, and negotiations to deal with the unoccupied areas are successful, then a radical reshaping of European geopolitics is very much on the cards, and the notion of "mad bad Vlad" as a despotic Hitler hell-bent on the aggrandisement of the Russian Federation will be shown to be at the least a huge exaggeration.

As absurdity piles upon absurdity, Sir Julian Rose talks with Richard Vobes to explain the true state of affairs as they are imposed by our affairs of State - particularly with respect to our food supplies.

"We the consumers have to take this initiative - we are the only people that can save these sorts of farmers"

" ... we want real food, we want it fresh, and we want it local, and we'll pay a fair price for it... "

"... we could start, finally, to break down this gap between the urban / suburban and the farming community..."

Supermarket food looks nice, but it's farm-to-consumer miles are off the scale and

 "... it's all highly destructive on every environmental level possible"

Quite so.

UK Column explores the not insignificant issue of the deployment of 77th Brigade of the British Army to monitor (and interfere with?) the free speech and communications of British citizens.

"Nobody was spared: even MPs and a former Supreme Court Justice were targeted"

OK, they were not targeted by cavalry on horseback with sabres slashing, but there is no doubt that they were deployed against the British citizenry - and the ancient laws don't differentiate between violent and non-violent deployment.

It's not the first time that "our" government has deployed troops against the people either.

I'm sure that our readers can think of other occasions too, but bad precedent doesn't lawful make.

Is there is a get-out? If the government obtains the consent of
