9/11 Goes Back A Long Way ...

As we approach 9/11 2025 .. we might be forgiven for wondering what might be in store for us.

The previous examples are after all not auspicious.

Now you will have to work with this one - it's in German with American subtitles - vital subtitles that it seems Saddam Hussein may have missed. But unlike Saddam you can always press pause whilst you catch up.

It does end rather abruptly after not quite 17 minutes but it is only part 1 of 5 ...

And it is from 17 years ago (so don't expect any up to date issues to be so lampooned) but it does indicate how long this sh*t-show has been in gestation. And you are sure to be reminded of something, or to learn it afresh. After all, were we all taking an interest in the fakery of geopolitics, the media, American "special relationships" and everything else in 2008?

Enjoy!

The latest anti-drone technology as developed for the US armed forces looks impressive, but what are its limitations and can it be outsmarted?

On the face of it, if the technology can be deployed in the necessary numbers and in all the right places, then it looks like a game-changer that would create a swift rethink of the currently well-oiled modes of battle in Ukraine and elsewhere.

After the big parade featuring Xi Jin Ping as Chinese Leader, the political coast is clear for Xi to step down officially and for the new team to emerge. President Xi held several offices, but these will be split out to avoid concentrating all powers under one man.

So we (may) have: Party Secretary: Hu Chunhua, Premier: Wang Yang, PLA Chief: General Zhang Youxia,  if confirmed ...

But will the CCP itself survive, and for how long?

The Great Game of Geopolitics Takes a Turn

This discussion brings out a number of points that deserve consideration.

It also points up the effective impossibility that any matters geopolitical will ever be addressed by a General Election - neither the public nor the system are ready to argue the complexities of our place in the world at election hustings (even if such could be addressed in the absurdly inadequate speaking times allowed!).

Patrick Henningsen and Chay Bowes provide some useful illumination.

Welcome the New Normal Security Society

It's obviously for our safety - well, maybe not for most of us just yet, but for our children, at least whilst they are in school, but we have to start somewhere.

With so many migrants of unknown provenance being unavoidably housed within society, the dangers are obvious and our government is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that our schoolchildren remain safe at school - who could possibly object to that?

It is true that kids previously used to unfettered ingress and egress may begin to feel a certain loss of freedom, perhaps even a tinge of claustrophobia, but no doubt they will soon get used to it. After all, the world is becoming an increasingly scary place and staying safe at all times by complying with the mandated safety restrictions is now an essential attitude to inculcate ... but concerned parents will be reassured to know that there are even more measures being taken to ensure that every contingency has been anticipated.

No doubt school today will become a far different experience to that which I along with my carefree contemporaries enjoyed in the good old bad old days when anybody could come wandering about the place; it's clearly a miracle that we managed to survive unscathed, in happy ignorance of the terrible risks that we were running.

But there's no stopping the relentless march of progress, and no doubt the kids of today will feel completely at home in the wonderful new 15 minute cities that I don't doubt will be here before we know it, courtesy of our benificent government!
