One of the things I like about Scott is that he is generous with his time and gives it to minor interviewers as well as to the more high profile.
Here he gives a slightly stilted interview which doesn't quite feature his usual easy-flowing rapport with the interviewer, but he does present a very wide-ranging view of the state of play in the area, of western geopolitics, and indeed of internal national politics within the group of nations neighbouring Israel, and of Israel itself.
He is my go-to source for a reason.

The PCR Test, Covid, and Mpox

Interest of Justice have pulled together a nice video which goes into some simple detail about why the PCR Test is not actually and could never be a valid test for a disease.
The PCR process is not a test, but a process for amplifying a specific genetic sequence if it exists in a sample, The inventor, Kari Mullis, stated unequivocally that his process could not be used to identify an infection. There are a number of reasons for this which are mentioned in the video below.
(59 minutes)
As explained in the video, it's not about the details of cycle thresholds or anything else, its about the WHO's support of a "test" that is incapable of identifying an infection.
The WHO would doubtless agree that tests should never be used in isolation but as additional information to assist a competent physician to reach a diagnosis. Primary culpability therefore rests with governments health institutions clinicians and media who promoted the scare on the basis of test results alone.
Nevertheless, it is perfectly possible to explain away the Covid scam even if we assume that the test (whatever it's nature) is reasonably adequate for identifying an infection!

Russia Summons US Envoy over Kursk Incursion by US Personnel

"Moscow views this as unauthorized American journalists illegally entering Russia's sovereign territory without permission, ultimately to assist with Ukrainian propaganda under Kiev's military protection"
CNN blatantly reporting from the Kursk region?
Are CNN at war with Russia? Or is the US at war with Russia? Or is all of NATO at war with Russia?
If Russians had been discovered on the Isle of Wight, would Sir Keir be complaining?
Maybe we should be told?
Somebody would seem to have some explaining to do.
The Fight to Fail

Dominic Cummings isn't everybody's cup of tea, but he does (probably) do his own thinking - which may explain why he didn't last long in government.
In his latest substack offering, he digs deep into history to illustrate his points (I am no historian so I won't comment on this section).
He goes on to describe how he feels that the Cabinet Office and PM's Office and indeed the whole edifice of the Civil Service and 'Parliament by political party' are doomed by their own mentality to fail, and will indeed fight off all comers in order to continue that failure (after all, who is to hold them accountable?).
" ... they don’t win because they are not actually trying to win, they are just trying to be players in the rancid SW1 game and don’t want that game disrupted by attempts to change its basic rules and agreed goals"
I don't agree with Dominic's conclusions (he is too narrow in his thinking - for example, he makes no mention of how the party system fails the people, nor of whether the complex structure of local / national government that arose out of the 19th & early 20th century is appropriate for the future, nor of the Bank of England and UN/WEF/WHO whom many suspect of pulling all the strings behind the politics that actually matter and who are in no way accountable to the British people).
Nevertheless he does paint a very realistic and convincing picture of exactly why the whole rotten edifice of government needs to be swept away so that we the people can rethink it and rebuild it as we please (not that he is proposing that!).
We need a "we the people" that are involved in politics.
We need bottom-up variety in place of top-down one-size-fits-all.
We need representatives and public bodies of integrity transparency and accountability that are responsive to public needs, and we need a responsibility structure that devolves planning and decision-making to the lowest practicable level.
We absolutely need public bodies to share aligned incentives with the people that they serve.
In short, we the people need to rethink all levels of government from first principles and rebuild it over time as we consider necessary.
A tall order? Absolutely.
How? Up for grabs.
Impossible? Only if we unthinkingly assume so.
Germany Cuts Funding to Ukraine

A straw in the wind?
I suppose the only surprise here is that it took them so long. But since when were deluded politicians quick to respond to reality?
For some time now it has been clear as day that Germany's interests are to cut its ties to the West and join the BRICS, where it can have access to the relatively inexpensive gas oil and markets that its industries need to survive, recover, and ultimately thrive once more.
Of course it would take most of Eastern (and quite possibly Western!) Europe with it, so it's not a trivial exercise, but given that Russia has shown itself to be by far the most effective military power in its confrontation with NATO, and geopolitical power in its pivotal contribution to building the BRICS, what conceivable advantage does EU/NATO membership confer on Germany that BRICS would not?
I guess that like many things, empires collapse "slowly, and then suddenly".
Are we about to witness a sudden and earth-shaking collapse of the EU as the constituent nations come to terms with the effective reality?
