As only Ben can, he sets out a scenario (or several) that place the ongoing machinations of the global "Great and the Good" within a context of extraordinary breadth and deep historical roots.

If we want to know what is really going on in our world, this report should be on our radar.

The Donald has a fight on his hands.

His oft repeated desire to close down the federal Department of Education, that same department presumably that is responsible for brainwashing American kids in all matter "woke", especially gender dysphoria and transgender.

Many believe that the same has been happening in the UK. and are not happy about it, and believe that what happens in the US may set the template for what ultimately happens here. This is therefore not a uniquely American problem.

"... politics today turn on who or what is in charge of the administrative state. No one knows the answer and this is for a reason. The main functioning of the modern state falls to a beast that does not exist in the Constitution."

So far has the "modern state" been subverted away from the constitutional intention.

Trump and Putin having decided that Europe is an irrelevance to the Ukraine negotiations (as they have nothing - aside from posturing - to contribute), the Europeans have got together to determine what is to be done about it.

"The responsibility to protect" by humanitarian intervention to stop international crimes.

When "the West" does this it's Ok, but when the Yemenis do it it's a crime.

From the viewpoint of the average Brit, the truth of far flung complex situations can be difficult to reliably disentangle.

So this is an interesting presentation, highlighting a number of controversial points on all sides of the argument.

Brink of what?

Well, there's a choice...

1. War with Russia on behalf of a ruined Ukraine? I guess the spirit may be willing (at least among the "leading politicians") but the flesh of the economy has been seriously weakened by (a) their own obsession with "climate change" and (b) their very own sanctions against Russia. Maybe strategic thinking isn't their strong suit?
   
   
2. Replacement of the ethnic population by immigration from foreign lands.

JD Vance isn't known for either mincing his words or failing in simple logic.

(To the tune of Loch Lomond)

By yon daily papers, and by yon TV channels,
Where the bright light of truth never ventures,
Where me and my true love were ever wont to view,
In our bonnie carefree youth of fond memory.

Chorus:

Oh ye'll tak' the mainstream,
an' I'll tak' the low stream,
an' I'll see the truth long afore ye,
but me an' my true love ne'er watch entwined again,
for the narratives and lies now repel me.

Yes there's more verses where that came from, but sufficient unto the day is the doggerel thereof!

We are at war, a war for our hearts and minds, driven not by

Ben Fulford's Monday report previews his view of the likely events schedule that may come to pass this year. 

If he's right, this will be a year like no other in living memory, as every power base under the deep state will fall apart, with "consequences that no man may foresee"...

Let us pray that somebody somewhere has some sort of transitional arrangements in hand.

Europa (in its modern incarnation as continental Europe) is in turmoil.

Fittingly perhaps, it is named after an ancient Greek goddess, but as the EU (shortly destined to collapse under the untenable weight of its contradictions) it is now, much like the capricious Greek Pantheon of old, apparently convinced of the need to wage war, this time to defend the perceived honour of the Ukraine to the last man, and if the Ukraine no longer has any men (or indeed in this day and age, women), then to the last European.

The unfortunate fact that they are in no position to take on the Russians militarily matters not a jot - the honour of fair Ukraine and the heroism of her benighted soldiers demands the ultimate sacrifice, possibly of the entire continent.

One may think what one likes about "the Donald" but it is obvious, if one takes a short moment to think about it,

It's a bit hard to categorise this contribution, but Andrew Livingstone impresses as a reliable witness, something that he by his own admission has not always been.

It's a fascinating story, covering several ways in which government relates to us, from the 1940s to the present, most of which are still highly relevant today.

Make of it what you will.

Few would argue that Elon Musk's DOGE isn't doing  lot of good work in stripping out unwanted and potentially illegal expenditure by the federal government, but as yet it remains unclear exactly where all this is going and what the shape of the federal government will look like when the dust settles.

Now listen up, this is important!

Many believe that the global population is expanding inexorably, and we will soon exhaust all of the world's resources. Humanity is a cancer on the face of the earth.

We must be curbed!

But if the fact is stranger than the fiction, what would be the consequences?

"The Donald" wanted to make a deal for peace with the Ukraine, but did the UK get in first?

"The previous government described the Agreement on Security Co-operation, which gave long-term security guarantees to Ukraine, as “the first step in developing an unshakeable hundred-year partnership between Ukraine and the United Kingdom" 

But what of the new treaty itself? What's it all about?

Democracy is so "last year".

The new improved way of civilised advancement (as so helpfully spelled out by the World Economic Forum in their many videos and documents) show us how the future must be.

In pursuit of these splendid ideals, recent events in Bristol have shown the way forward, brushing aside the backward doom-mongers and naysayers to install the necessary new facilities that will bring the WEF's vision into our reality, and not a moment too soon! 

With the WEF in charge, supported by appropriate NGOs and properly indoctrinated local activists, there is no longer the need to wait for the cumbersome machinery of local democracy to persuade the stupid people of the huge benefits soon to be theirs, better just to do it and show them first-hand in their own streets how much better the new arrangements will be.

After all, you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs!

My guess is that ontology, for most, is not a concept that readily springs fully-formed to mind.

I suppose it may be roughly defined as the ultimate generalisation of the way things are, how they work, inclusive of everything "seen and unseen", or perhaps I should say "material and spiritual" or "noticed and unnoticed" or "living and inanimate", or "dimensional or non-dimensional".

Nothing is beyond its purview.

Sounds to me like the proper scope of "science", which simply means the knowledge of how things work.

Or perhaps more inclusively, how things are (since some things don'rt work!).

Indeed, perhaps we are inadvertently reaching for a definition of "God" in so far as God is generally reckoned to be the ultimate "all-powerful", nothing being beyond His-Her
