Laura Dodsworth suggests that "we need a cognitive freedom movement".

She is (rightly in my view) concerned about the manipulative techniques that governments use to persuade us to buy into their favoured narratives, even to persuade us to take on board total tosh, such as man-made climate change and 'we're all going to die!'. 

OK, what exactly does "cognitive" mean?

Even the dictionaries seem a bit confused:

"an adjective that means connected with thinking or conscious mental processes"

"relating to, being, or involving conscious intellectual activity"

"a term used in psychology to describe anything related to thinking, learning, and understanding"

"relating to

Well, it's one way to bypass Parliament.

And how does the dodgy legal history of Canada affect matters?

The fires of Maui have come to California. Published pictures allegedly (one can never be sure these days) show extensive areas burned-out.

There are reports that fires were set deliberately, starting up in several locations simultaneously.

Bur fire hydrants are dry - the fires cannot be fought. Unlucky? Or deliberate?

The similarities with Maui, whilst not exact, are clear, and no doubt as time passes we will see more clarity. One other thing is clear: in normal circumstances, a population burned out of house and home is effectively dispossessed and cannot fight back.

The recent report from Maui illustrates the point. When authorities remain tight-lipped and inaction rules, we are forced to ask what is going on.

Well, it's true, "Meta"-phorically speaking... (groan)... Mark has made what seems like a 180^o screeching hand-brake turn on "fact-checking" - a turn not lost on the erstwhile "fact-checkers", who have (reportedly) "fact-checked" his statement...

As I have chosen to exist on the Net largely outside the Zuckerverse I don't feel qualified to comment of this turn of events, but happily, I know of a man who does.

(Strange though, I don't remember the blue-eyed curly-redhead look previously... )

The start of the new year has gone badly for the EU, but can anybody really maintain that this was unforeseen?

The gas supplies from Russia to Germany and by extension to the EU via the Ukraine has been turned off. It doesn't matter whom you blame for this, what matters is that this has turned off the EU's ability to maintain its (ever declining) standard of living.

Energy is the lifeblood of industry, and Germany's seemingly unstoppable post war industrialisation has suddenly - well, truly not so suddenly - ground to a deathly silence of shuttered factories and closed shops.

To say that this could not have been foreseen is risible - the war in the Ukraine (with Germany's largest supplier of low-cost energy!) was not

Neil Oliver, with his usual eloquent and well-thought-out analysis of a previously very unusual subject, a subject that has now been accorded the prominence due and required by its seriousness.

This is not party-political (it has likely been going on under all governments of my life-time), it is pro-life and pro-justice.

This is from the usually terminally tedious group now known as Promethean Action (you remember Prometheus of course?), who for some unaccountable reason now produce a video (or two!) that is not only useful, but tolerable for viewing by normal people.

(There's also a pre-Christmas video that is useful viewing).

And if you are wondering quite where Team Trump is going to take us, this is as good a place as any to start, as it highlights Britain, featuring as well Greenland and Canada, maybe also Panama and even Mexico... the crumbling EU... usw.

So you think you know your Trump?

Are you sure? 

You may not be so certain after watching this...

This is a very hard-headed video that will almost certainly challenge anybody's understanding of world events of the past century or so. If you are not prepared for such a challenge, feel free to skip this one.

Bear in mind that many now believe that "everything we were told is a lie". You may or may not accept such a concept, but if you believe in the accepted version of history, the ending sequence of this video may not be for you.

For myself, I am prepared to accept any proposition that is supported by evidence and logic - this attitude does not preclude changing my mind about history, but does mean that I file away a great deal in the "too difficult to know" box, for possible re-evaluation should more information come to light.

A tale of incompetence, or of deliberate obfuscation?

We may never know, but it's a salutary story that leaves Canada...  well, apparently in some sort of legal limbo (don't quote me, I'm not a constitutional lawyer!).

If this could happen to Canada, what other prior colonies might be similarly affected?

And how might this affect the coming changes that 2025/6 may or may not bring forth?

Not to mention anybody with a "Canadian passport"?

Since time immemorial, humanity has been organised into groups - some cooperating, some fighting, some dispersed, some concentrated geographically, but in general all under some form of leadership.

If we believe the history books, then these leaders eventually developed into hereditary leadership families known as "Royalty".

Naturally, individual leaders cannot be everywhere at once giving people instruction and judging aberrant behaviours, so the concept of Royal Courts that administered each locality on behalf of the monarch was instituted.

Likewise the monarch could not know everything that perhaps he needed to know, so the concept of the advisory council (Witan in Old England) was born where the monarch could pick the finest brains in the land before determining on any particular course of action. From these beginnings arose our current "Parliamentary

Elon Musk, a fabulously rich entrepreneur, who supposedly made his money creating new and very popular services such as PayPal, innovations such as Tesla self-driving autonomous vehicles, and who is also a defence contractor (well, a man must make his living where he can), boasts a close relationship with "the Donald" (and did I mention "X"?), is now seemingly entertaining himself by adopting a new role: the scourge of malfunctioning governments!

A tweet or two from Musk and the snowflakes in said malfunctioning governments clutch their pearls, grab for their smelling salts, and between hyper-ventilations write all kinds of opinion pieces declaring that he must be controlled, preferably silenced, lest he inflame their easily-deceived moronic voters into believing that changes may be desirable at the next elections! And (Shock! Horror!) he isn't even a politician, so what on earth does he think he's doing?!

He's setting an excellent example to the rest of us - he's doing his own thinking, coming to

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?

With Trump due to be inaugurated on 20th inst, those who would provoke WW3 are apparently working overtime to trap Trump into war with Iran, China, Russia, well, anybody really...

A tale of two cities .. well, one city and a town I suppose would be more accurate.

Whilst by no means typical oftowns and cities across the nation, perhaps these may be thought to become so if we simply extrapolate current rates of deterioration for a few more decades. Of course there will always be better places to dwell (where else would the well-to-do live?), but as pointers to the typical urban homescapes ofthe future, perhaps these vignettes serve a purpose, a reminder that local civilisation involves purpose as well as, perhaps more than, comforts.

When one purpose fades, how to find a new purpose? This seems to be a relevant question that somehow doesn't get much asked, yet surely it needs to be the first question for which any aspiring politician hopeful of election

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.

There are times when I wish that the would-be authorities in this world would get their story straight.

One moment it's bird flu (beware of the chickens!), the next it's bird flu (again) (beware of the cows!), the next it's animal flatulence (beware of the cows - again - lest we die in a self-immolating world catastrophe).

Hens teeth! It's enough to make us all jittery about the incoming epidemic of mad cow disease now very obviously affecting the judgement of the Great and the Good who continue to push these absurd notions.

Will nobody vaccinate them against this new peril?

Or was this one somehow inadvertently omitted from the UN Agenda 2030 / 2050 plans for global domination? Where is Bill Gates when they need him?

Dr Shiva Ayyadurai, "inventor of email", candidate for US Presidency, opponent of the Deep State, and uncompromising champion of a global grass-roots movement to make the Deep State obsolete, explains his movement at a weekly "town hall" Zoom meeting.

(2 hrs 25 mins - less if you start at the 27 minute mark,  thus skipping the individual introductions at the beginning)

Find our previous articles on Dr Shiva here.

I know of no other campaigner who impresses me with such logical analysis and effective organisation - worth paying attention.

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.
