  • The Real Trouble with Technocracy

    2026-06-26

    Patrick Wood has been tracking those who would run the world by AI for some time.

    He's been right and is still right to do so - our understandings of AI and indeed "quantum computing" are still in their infancy, and whilst it is certainly true that the technocrats never had either the data or the science or the computing power to run the world, it was always feasible that they would simply pretend to do so and place us on the wrong end of a "computer says no" social control system that in effect could be neither realistically nor practically challenged.

    That feasibility still exists if we fall for it by unthinking and ill-advised compliance.

    "The system they wanted — a society run as an engineering problem, every resource metered, every flow optimized, every decision computed rather than argued — required a machine that could calculate the whole of an economy in real time. That machine did not exist"

    The Trouble With Politics Now Illustrated Beyond Doubt

    2026-06-26

    Ask the wrong questions, get the wrong answers.

    What part of this simple principle don't we get?

    That they continue to ask the wrong questions simply proves that either they are stupid, or that they don't want the right answers. Either way, I'm done with them.

    Take for example Baroness Hallett's Covid Inquiry. Vastly expensive Covid enquiry.

    There are so many layers here to unpack that I hesitate to begin such a mammoth undertaking, but I'll make a start just to make it obvious.

    Let's ask the first questions:

    Why was all previous pandemic preparedness planning immediately thrown out of the window in 2019/2020? 

    In hindsight, was that a good decision?

    Did the good Baroness

  • The Trouble With Pollitics as Established

    2026-06-26

    A thoughtful piece by Paul Cudenec encapsulates the problem with our current world.

    What is freedom?

    Is the Left or the Right more supportive of freedom?

    How should government be reformed?

    I find his homily very welcome indeed, and wish that we could actually begin to ask the right questions, rather than struggling to make sense of sundry answers to all the wrong questions about which governing bodies of all kinds are so keen to saturate our discussions.

     

  • Tesla's Tartaria

    2026-06-23

    Nicola Tesla, electrical genius, work lost to history etc.

    Researcher of Tartarian buildings worldwide.

    "Tesla believed by the end of his life that modern civilization had experienced a technical collapse sometime in the early to mid 1800s"

    Perhaps at the same time that Tartaria disappeared from world atlasses, leaving their surviving buildings to become railway stations, cathedrals, and imposing seats of government bodies?

    And will Donald Trump have something to show us soon enough up in Washington DC?

     

  • Yes, the End is Now, the New Beginning is Upon Us !

    2026-06-23

    Do you feel it?

    After six years of unprecedented upheaval (of which somehow many seem to be still blissfully unaware 🤓), there is light at the end of the tunnel, the ancien regime is in terminal irrelevance, and change is inevitable.

    Martin Geddes feels it.

    And takes the time to share with us his personal feelings about the ups and downs that he has navigated in his quest to counter the inappropriate narratives that have held our populations in (ever lessening) sway over that time.

    Behind the face of every dissident is a human being struggling to come to terms with a world in which he/she no longer fits.

    Truly the Universe provides and guides in more ways than we ever imagined.

  • Engineering The Reliable Human Organisation

    2026-06-20

    Cars have warning lights (and in extremis clonking noises!), aircraft for obvious reasons have taken the art of operational diagnosis and warnings to extremes, but human organisations have a hodge-podge of accounting systems and "human resource" (the words tell you all you need to know) departments, but no corresponding engineering theories in common usage that would reliably flag up failures to function actual or impending.

    "... the 'loss of reality' domain... lies beneath established disciplines rather than alongside them. It studies not their objects, but the conditions that allow those objects to remain connected to reality... "

    "... a domain that asks 'How do we know your discipline remains corrigible by reality?' is awkward for everyone"

    Anybody who realises that much of our current world has become detached from reality is

  • Iran - The Real Deal?

    2026-06-20

    The Iran deal suddenly seems to be iron-clad - whether or not it really is a new beginning will no doubt become clear in time.

    But maybe it is.

    Patrick Wood, looking at it from a different perspective, puts forward his viewpoint, which is essentially that we have all been looking at it from the wrong end of the telescope - rather than paying any attention to the public pronouncements, Patrick has been checking out the geocommercial aspects, and finds that they make a lot more sense...

    2026-06-18

    For those who still believe the persuasive narrative that Big Pharma (and "our" NHS) has saved us all from death and ill health, steel yourself to watch this film from Del Bigtree (yes of course he's American) via our own NOTONTHEBEEB.

    Del has been at the forefront of independent journalists questioning the "received wisdom" that jabs for the pre-ill (ie: healthy!) are a boon for mankind and not just for Big-Pharma-Big-Government profits/revolving-doors.

  • The Rebellious Unrevolutionary French

    2026-06-16

    Just as telling the truth in an age of lies and unreason is an act of rebellion, so it seems is maintaining one's national traditions. 

    Not just maintaining them mind - positively relishing them, wallowing in them, celebrating them, and (sacré bleu!) inviting others to join in.

    Someone will have to put a stop to all this before the Grand Projet to homogenise humanity into a bland tradition-starved aimless joyless and pointless goop begins to fall apart completely.

     

  • Testititis Rampant

    2026-06-10

    The last real epidemic of testing was unleashed on the world with the Covid pandemic. The PCR test "gold standard" was rolled out everywhere (to be followed by other more simplified tests later on) but the PCR "gold standard" required samples invasively acquired on the end of a very long "cotton bud" pushed up the nose, which then had to be sent off to a laboratory for PCR processing.

    It always struck me as unnecessarily unpleasant, though there is no doubt that it was effective even if the laboratories had been set up in huge haste and those who manned them could have had only rudimentary training. Still, at 45 PCR cycles, success was pretty much guaranteed.

    Although strangely, there didn't seem to be any data about the rate of false results that could be expected, which is pretty important if we want accurate diagnoses.

    Nevertheless, quite aside from pandemics, medical practitioners make considerable use of diagnostic testings of various types, from

  • Leukemia

    2026-06-10

    There's no easy way to put this.

    But it's important. It's also very logical.

    It suggests that a slow (to allow the liver to deal with the toxins as they are released) but methodical detox may be all that is required, provided that the treatment hasn't completely destroyed the bone marrow.

    Make of it what you will.

     

  • Schools Curriculum to be Revised?

    2026-06-10

    Is "the Blob" capable of facing and correcting its own egregious errors?

    I'm not holding my breath.

    It will be up to parents and guardians to break the news as gently as possible to their offspring, and to explain how it came about. There's plenty of ideas on this site... and plenty to challenge those "little grey cells" that now have a critical job to do.

    And there's no time like the present. Indeed, its the only time we ever have.

     

  • Appleby Horse Fair - Looking Back in Clarity

    2026-06-09

    Appleby Horse Fair is by now indelibly imprinted upon my mind, so many articles by Martin Geddes have flowed from it.

    Now Martin has produced a single narrative to tell the story, and of course you can read it here.

    Perhaps it marks the end of that chapter, perhaps it doesn't, but it's certainly a milestone of sorts.

    Enjoy.

    But what if the Second Amendment in itself is an inadequate guarantee?

    What happens when the whole panoplia of senates congresses assemblies councils courts and governing bodies each complete with their own governmental rules regulations statute books guidance documents etc etc gets so out of hand that Joe Citizen has no hope of figuring out precisely how and why control of his Republic has somehow in reality been usurped by inappropriate forces?

  • If You Can Keep Your Head When All About You Are Losing Theirs ...

    2026-05-27

    Educated readers will recognise the title, lifted wholesale from Rudyard Kipling's poem "If".

    It seems pertinent to Martin Geddes's latest offering - a technique for doing exactly this when major change threatens to cascade through our previously comfortable lives and overwhelm us.

    The advent of "Covid" was one such event, but in my estimation, we are not yet done with such...
    ... so any method of coping with the uncertainty may be something to welcome.

    This is Martin's suggestion.

     

  • The Next Phase

    2026-05-19

    If we for a moment make the working assumption that the current world Humpty Dumpty (the UN the WEF and all its unaccountable hangers on) is doomed to spiritual and actual collapse, then we must look forward to a new phase of earth habitation that is not dominated by private unaccountable interests.

    This is so far removed from the structures under which we have grown up into adults that the form that such a world might take isn't intuitively obvious. Take away the bosses and what would we have?

    We would have a workforce that still knows how to do what it has always done - create and sell product. What we wouldn't have is the super-rich oligarchs who invest in projects that may or may not align

  • The Future for Palnackie?

    2026-05-15

    Martin Geddes makes a welcome return to the Palnackie problem, which longer-standing readers may remember.

    My suspicion is that this will be his final excursion around the topic, and it brings into focus the fact that the legal system cannot resolve all issues.

    Our country is changing in many ways, and not just due to legalities and demographics.
