Do we believe in "free speech"?

Well, James Delingpole is brave enough to say that "it depends".

And I think he's right.

Free speech in the right circumstances is very beneficial if it helps others to formulate their own views.

In the wrong circumstances it muddies the waters, confuses the listener, and and may even promote the madness of crowds...

I also think that "free speech" doesn't include deliberate falsehoods half-truths omissions or incitement to criminality. To be useful it has to be honest peaceful and unthreatening.

Which introduces another problem - who is to judge this "honesty"? Rhetoric can be used for good or for ill, to inform or to confuse or to mislead. Caveat

As we might have hoped, Ben's report manages to cover the Wagner goings-on of recent days, and brings quite bit of new info (new to me anyway!). I think it may well be new to most, certainly (if not totally unexpectedly) it pulls an entirely new angle.

It all helps to paint the picture, and with "stuff" happening at seemingly ever-increasing pace it's certainly welcome.

Not only that, he drops some quite explicit cues indicating what may now be imminently in the works... you have been warned.

Highly recommended this week.

That the world is in a terrible state is more or less unarguable.

The precise extent of that terrible state is indeed arguable, and Iurie Roșca (published in Technocracy News and Trends) makes a good fist of putting it in the worst possible light - together with plenty of good supporting evidence, just in case we were doubtful.

In fact, it's very hard to argue the opposite case in conventional terms, since the Deep State, after many years of preparation, does seem to have all the angles covered.

Therefore, only a huge upset in conventional thinking can bring the Deep State house down, and usher in a different future.

But before that can be achieved, it's necessary to understand the full extent of our peril.

It's only when it hits us in the pocket that we take note.

As if it hasn't hit us hard enough yet in the pocket (despite years of unproductive subsidy), the wind farms are showing their true (lack of) mettle.

To engineers it probably isn't a surprise that a turbine that has to work safely and productively in multifarious wind conditions from storm-force to flat calm (not to mention similar directional variability, bird strikes etc) may exhibit reliability problems (ie: break down). They are subject to such wide and uncontrolled conditions of operation that failure is an ongoing problem. The latest news from manufacturer Siemens would seem to confirm this.

But will any of "our" representatives in Parliament and local government notice?

"The implications for the UK’s Net Zero policy, built around an assumption of ever cheaper wind power, are profound"

Ivor Cummins, whose excellent contributions to keeping us sane throughout the Covid years were huge, here discusses the origins of the New World Order with Dr Jacob Nordangard. Unlike his Covid presentations there is no discussion of numbers on charts and graphs - it's a comfy relaxed fireside chat this time - albeit quite a long one - but there are a lot of conspiracy theories scams to cover...

What does the future hold?

If the conspiracy theorists are right, the world with it's so-called "permanent institutions" won't look much like it did yesterday...

... and the future may arrive sooner than we think.

Are we ready?

Is it even possible to be ready?

It's been obvious for some time that this is no way to fight a war.

If you can't beat them, sue them - for peace. That should have been done long ago, and now Russia may be in no mood for negotiation because negotiation requires goodwill, and NATO has expended whatever it had in that regard as well as most other regards.

This is likely to be a fight to the finish unless NATO falls first (my viewpoint). If NATO falls, Ukraine will agree terms. Any terms.

"This offensive has no legitimate military objective - because you can't achieve it"

"You can't use the same formula that's already failed"

"What happens when they get annihilated?"

"NATO will never beat Russia"

"We don't have the military capacity to defeat Russia in a

Sandi Adams of Glastonbury Council fame, interviewed by Brian Gerrish of UK Column, explains her view of current developments (some might say undevelopments) which appear locally but which seem to emanate (via various obscure routes) from UN Agenda 2030.

Whilst Agenda 2030 is discussed at UN level, or even at national level, Joe Citizen doesn't take much notice, but when it comes into Joe's own backyard he sits up and takes notice. 

And it is now coming into our backyards everywhere.

The countryside's farmers are going to be replaced by countryside management - but management on behalf of whom? One thing seems for sure, it won't be for those who actually live on the land.

Nigel Farage comments on matters economical, political, and common-sensical (not much of that last one about these days).

Like him or loathe him, he is still one of that vanishing breed of politicians that do manage to keep their tabs on reality, and he can be entertaining with it. It's just a pity he got thrown out of the EU parliament, even if that was more or less by his own hand. Still, his absence therefrom has left a void which others (notably Christine Anderson et al) have stepped forward to fill with great success.

Oh yes, and Poland really is becoming just as uppity as Hungary... something to do with being hosts to the hosts from their neighbouring Ukraine that find war in their homeland unconducive to civilised life.

Enough! On with the show!

"Sustainable" is the watchword of the United Nations and its coterie of panels, organisations, partners, hangers-on, philanthropaths, bought-and-paid-for "scientists", multinational QUANGOS, and other dubiously-minded oligarchs and think-tanks.

They are legion, they are diplomatically immune, they are as one with the "beautiful people" of the entertainment industries, and likewise as one with the global media moguls. Astonishingly, they are as one with the world leaders of nearly every nation, with one Klaus Schwab openly boasting of "penetrating the cabinet" of far-flung "democracies". Shouldn't democracies be choosing their own leaders?

But one mountain remains to be climbed - they are not yet as one with the people.

The people for whom they profess the expertise to micromanage us to the nth degree, to modify planet and people to make both "sustainable", to direct the future as they see fit. The evidence is above us in the artificial jet-trails that

In August last year we featured Arthur Firstenberg's newsletter concerning the destruction of bird colonies on Texel island (Netherlands).

Of course it was attributed to the deadly "bird flu" (be very afraid) but equally of course no alternative explanation was officially considered by the authorities, despite the coincidental arrival of brand new 5G masts on Texel.

This year there is good news...  but equally, the problem has not gone away, merely morphed according to topology and intensity.

But if "bird flu" is a fiction, what of human flu and all the other multitudinous "flu-like" indispositions that may from time to time affect us?

A lot of bad news, logical analysis and good sense arrived in my inbox this morning from "Down Under".

It's sad but predictable, another straw in the wind of advancing change.

Perhaps our world really is being trashed at all levels civilisational, with everything that we associate with an advanced society which encourages independence, self-reliance, and inquisitive enquiry being shut down in addition to all essentials naturally productive, such as power, industry, farming, and unspoiled habitat.

Worth reading.

Touching isn't really a part of today's everyday life - and I guess that that's one reason for the popularity of dogs and cats - our pets are almost the only living beings (apart from spouses) that it's OK for us to touch and play with.

Add in our traditional British reserve - and indeed aloofness - and it's clear that we have obstacles to overcome before we in the UK can get tactile.

Helen Prosper from 'A Touch of Gentleness' explains, and there's more to it than we might expect!

A fascinating presentation.

Our schools are apparently bending over backwards to accommodate the self-identity preferences of school-kids, no matter how unusual.

It is reported that there has been some brouhaha over the desire of one young lady to self-identify as a cat. She was (reportedly) supported by her teacher who strongly disagreed with another class member who considered the cat identity ridiculous, and insisted that her unusual identity is perfectly valid and acceptable. 

Now most people would probably think that this is all a lot of nonsense that should be firmly squashed, the girls and boys should be firmly told that they are human, and that's an end of it.

But although everybody is getting mighty steamed up about all this, I think the cat-girl is absolutely

Ex-colonies (some might think still "soft power" colonies) in Africa and elsewhere now have a choice of financiers who will help them exploit their minerals for their own benefit. Also by forming regional partnerships with their like-minded neighbours, they can move away from dependence on western currencies for trade. Change is afoot.

Are they jumping from the frying pan into the fire? Or will the future bring real improvements? Time will tell, but maybe the Africans will get a better deal and the West may or may not. After all, peaceful cooperation is inherently better than strife in almost all respects.

Redacted review the peace talks of yesteryear that followed the initial Russian limited military operation.

Mr Putin now confirms that agreement was reached at those talks... until UK prime minister Johnson visited Kiev and allegedly told Mr Zelenskyy not to finalize the peace.

If that is true, then Mr Johnson has hundreds of thousands of dead on his hands.

"... what am I being manipulated to not like... "

Propaganda and war are fundamentally inextricable.

None of this amounts to proof of anything, so it's back to our personal intuition.

"The absurdity and stupidity is what causes you to disengage with caring about your government - this is intentional"

If you think this only applies to the US, think again. The US-UK "special relationship" is/was indeed special, and preferably not explicit. 

Now we find that all of NATO is involved, and the UN, and the WEF... but perhaps that last was an overreach too far.
