Alex Krainer makes some excellent points in the course of this video - but will anybody take any notice? For myself, the more I hear what he has to say, the more I warm to him.

And to whom is all this debt owed anyway?

Will it be up for some sort of renegotiation when push comes to shove? Who is pulling the strings here?

All this (all right, most of it) is speculation, but if it turns out to be accurate, would anybody be surprised?

But maybe Bibi Netanyahu didn't sign the Peace Deal for a reason?

Still, predictions are tricky, especially about the future ....

... and could Trump really keep up his support for Israel if or when "his" ceasefires are broken?

It Takes a Russian to Truly Understand a Faux Democracy

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, one-time inhabitant of the Russian Gulag, also turned his attention to the regime(s) of the West.

"Political and intellectual bureaucrats show depression, passivity and perplexity in their actions and in their statements and even more so in theoretical reflections to explain how realistic, reasonable as well as intellectually and even morally warranted it is to base state policies on weakness and cowardice"

Yup, they have lost their way, and so become prey to any modish fad that the unprincipled but ambitious will cause to come their way.

"Everybody operates at the extreme limit of those legal frames. An oil company is legally blameless when it purchases an invention of a new type of energy in order to prevent its use. A food product manufacturer is legally blameless when he poisons his produce to make it last longer: after all, people are free not to buy it"

The corporate loss of conscience now infects many individual citizens, who have been through the indoctrination systems of "education" and now emerge rudderless, many from broken families or the State system of "childcare".

"A society which is based on the letter of the law and never reaches any higher is taking very scarce advantage of the high level of human possibilities"

(and that's before we factor in the apparent failings within our systems of law and order, exposed by Martin Geddes)

A long read, but worthwhile.

 

Conspiracy Theory to End Them All?

This is a brief canter through the 'Q' posts, which may delight conspiracy theorists and turn off those who don't suffer from that affliction in equal measure.

It's only a few days old (!) but already feels a bit "last year" ...   it isn't.

Israel indicates the end game - but pay attention, I don't think we are quite there yet ... there is still unsettled business to be concluded on various fronts, notably Ukraine and Israel (two sides of the same coin?) but also Europe China and the rest of the world.

There are two ways to judge Trump's actions - at face value (they don't exactly work together on this metric) and as pointing up those miscreants that he wants investigated (makes more sense and keeps everybody confused).

Happy hunting.

 

Miliband's Massive Farm Folly

What should we be using farmland for?

Growing food, or harvesting sunlight for power?

Which would we rather live without?

"Once operational, the site will generate enough renewable electricity for up to 300,000 homes when the sun is shining"

Sounds good. But the sun shines for less than half the day for half the year ...

"Opponents object to the destruction of farmland, the “industrialisation” of a quiet rural area and the loss of treasured landscapes"

Sounds bad.

But is it really either/or?

Can't we have food, landscapes, and power like we used to?

Not according to the climate doomsters whose predictions so far (ice-free arctic, NW York under water, no polar bears etc) have all failed dismally to materialise, or even to hint at materialising.

"The proposed Tillbridge Solar project would cover about 3,000 acres (1,214 hectares), making it larger than any existing solar farm in Britain"

A strong contender for the title "Miliband's Folly" then.

And how will all this power be made available in the hours of darkness which become so prevalent at this time of year? Will these acres of solar panels be sufficiently sturdy to survive our winter storms? And if not, how recyclable will these wrecked panels be? Will they have to repurpose the once-farmland to new land-fill to dispose of the wreckage?

Wouldn't a nice tidy SMR be the best choice all round, saving the farmland for food production, providing safe clean reliable power 24/7, and safeguarding our fabulous landscapes for our future appreciation and healthy recreational pursuits, and obviating the need for landfill?

The National Grid would like it too ...

I only ask because I suspect it's important to know ...
