Catastrophic Confusion & Obsessive Covid Disorder
2024-03-18
It has taken 4 years to move from Obsessive Covid Disorder to a point where we may now perhaps indulge in some rational argument about what really happened in 2019-20, and how we might actually more sensibly work in the future.
Leaving aside all the technical virological and counter-measures arguments, it is apparent that the situation management of early 2020 where "the science" met "the government" in a conflicting and fast-changing muddle of overthrown pandemic preparedness and panic (which saw much of the former somehow displaced by much of the latter), this contribution by the good folk at the Global Warming Policy Foundation is, if not completely timely, at least on target.
What has Covid got to do with Global Warming? Both involve serious interaction between "government" and "science", so should be subject to a set ofcommon principles.

How did we get from Freedom to Public-Private Dictatorship?
2024-03-17
It's been a long road travelled largely out of the headlines... perhaps because those who write the headlines didn't want to make any kind of big deal out of it.
The truth is that even where we are today, if freedom of speech had been respected throughout then we probably wouldn't be so far down the road - but freedom of journalism (as opposed to freedom of speech) ie: the freedom to dig for the stories and have them published with appropriate fanfare, has been quietly withdrawn for many years now, without being reported.
After all, why would you publish negative stories about the outfits that provide your income?
Today, at the dawn of the age of citizen journalism outside the reach of the big publishers, that has begun to be reversed, despite desperate attempts to discourage defund and shut down popular channels that publish the truth that the big boys don't like.

A Spanner in the Greenworks?
2024-03-12
More from Net Zero Watch - or, to dig a little deeper, from the Royal Society, no less.
They have uncovered a problem with the modelling of methods to deal with the intermittency of "renewables". Yes, it's odd that isn't it? But it's becoming almost routine rather than unprecedented to find problems with "the modelling" these days.
I suspect that because modelling is (or can be) rather complex, the public has a tendency to consider it something that scientists do and it must therefore be "scientific" - but that is an error. It might reflect science if done well, or it might just reflect the prejudice and/or error of the modeller. And if the modeller is modelling something that isn't fully understood in the first place, well... the result isn'tlikely to be very close to useful.
In this case, they

Fulford Report Monday 11 March 2024
2024-03-11
The fakery continues, with nobody really able to distinguish true from false.
Is Benjamin himself real, or an AI fake? Who can say?
And does he actually say whatever his contacts in the secret services / societies want him to tell us?
None the less it's an interesting report this week, and the second time that residents of California may wish to take note... and more training for the rest of us to differentiate "what is" from "what isn't".

The Religious Imperatives Behind the War in the Middle East
2024-03-11
The Gaza conflict is seen by many as intractable, but the source of that intractability is not necessarily prominent in our thinking.
If we cannot understand it, then we will likely be blind-sided by developments. Stephen Gardner interviews Robert Spencer, "expert on Islam and Jihad".
(NB since nobody these days seems to be truly independent of attachment to either side, as always we should take claims made here about this conflict with a pinch of salt - it's your viewpoint that counts)

But It's to Save the Planet!
2024-03-10
The CCC (the Government's Climate Change Committee) has a problem.
It is legally obliged to solve an intractable issue.
Nuclear takes too long to implement, "renewables" are too intermittent, and everything else creates CO2 which cannot be released. So what to do with it?
Carbon capture is a safe political solution in so far as it has always been assumed that new technologies will be invented to solve the problem of sequestration. By extending this assumption, nobody need look too closely at the implications, so "job done" for today.
However, time waits for neither man nor novel technologies, so the CCC has had to do a bit more assumption-wangling to make it look like it has some plausible solution that could solve this tricky situation.
Essentially, by compressing this terrible CO2 to a sufficient degree, it can be pumped underground into

Posthumanism Fast Approaching ...
2024-03-10
Does anybody really understand AI? Doubtful.
Is AI really exemplified by the AI apps that have so far been released by the Googles and Microsofts of this world for the public to play with? Very Doubtful.
Are "they" really planning to build an internet of AI that can monitor and control, even generate, everything we can see and everything we can upload, even (eventually) everything we can think? Tick.
Isn't that insanely technically challenging and probably untestable? Tick.
And could it work? Maybe, in parts...
So it will take them for ever to get it to that point? Probably.
So we have time... Sorry, Nope.
The truth is that it wouldn't matter to

WEF: Wildly Expensive Failure
2024-03-08
Definition of insanity: - keep doing the same thing and expecting different results.
After innumerable years of government subsidy for developing "renewables" as a power source to replace "fossil" fuels, one might begin to understand that if we don't have progress now that "fossil" fuels are as expensive as they have been for many years (thanks to our benighted leaders' obsession with weakening Russia by all means possible) then it seems reasonable to suspect that "renewables" are not going to cut the mustard. Not now, not ever, certainly not any time soon.
So since the convoluted strike price mechanism so clearly failed, the government is taking action to reprioritise fuels that workdouble down on renewables by increasing the subsidies. Evidently, despite telling us all

Whither England?
2024-02-25
Encyclopedia Britannica does a fair job (in my humble opinion) of reviewing this sceptred isle - our ancient land of myths and legends too many to review here.
We who still dwell here, some aghast at the changes being foisted upon us by an establishment apparently driven berserk by who knows what devilish intent, others keen to embrace the white-hot up-ending of previously established societal norms and balances, all now are confused about whither we are headed.
Will we be scorched by climate change, devastated by nuclear war, driven insane by unending conventional war that will bleed us dry of children wealth

Timely Reminder - The NHS Really Was Overwhelmed by Covid!
2024-02-22
That the NHS was overwhelmed in early 2020 is, in my view, completely obvious.
The question however is:
Overwhelmed by what?
By a novel and deadly virus... or by a well-planned tsunami of authoritative propaganda that swept aside all doubts and reasonable concerns?

Yanis Varoufakis Updates Us on Matters Political and Economical
2024-02-18
One-time Greek Finance Minister (who took on the EU for a proper banking bail-out and was betrayed by his own prime minister), author of very readable economics books, who cut his political teeth on the UK Miners' Strikes under Margaret Thatcher, Yanis Varoufakis does his own analytical thinking and isn't afraid to share his results with the world - or as many as are prepared to listen to him.
Here he turns his attention to how the "City of London" operates to secure its profits (and shed its losses) whilst becoming an ever-growing part of UK GDP (as measured b officialdom).
"It's a massive gambling extravaganza where all the profits go to the financiers, and all the losses go to you"

Colonel Macgregor Gives us the History Lesson that Putin Omitted
2024-02-17
There's so much in this interview that we are all sure to learn something new, to learn more about the historical events that brought us to where we find ourselves today, and how (but not why) we seem determined to keep digging despite the size of the hole that we are already in. The "why" is a seriously large omission that lies at the heart of current events and future direction.
A tour de force.

Government by Regulatory Pyramid
2024-02-17
This is not party-political (in the sense of one political party competing against another).
It is party-political in the sense that the concept of "the political party" has been and is still weaponised against the demos in order to invert the official relationship - so that the people become the servants of the government rather than vice versa.
It is the case that most recent Acts of Parliament already give ministers the power to vary or remove existing clauses and insert new clauses without necessarily having to submit their suggestions for debate in Parliament. It is sufficient to publish the proposals to MPs, who need to demand a debate within a short time frame in order to get one. Since MPs are busy people who don't necessarily want to "rock the boat", these changes may well be allowed through without debate.
Technically therefore such Acts of Parliament may be very significantly updated, without effective scrutiny, since ministers may make use of

A Battle Won, the War Continues
2024-02-11
The EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, in response to blockades by farmers all around Europe, has lifted some of the planned restrictions sufficiently to persuade the farmers that they have won enough, and can get off her doorstep and back to farming.
But what has really changed?
"... the European Commission offered some concessions to the agricultural sector — but said it will not scale back its plan to cut 90% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2040..."
To achieve that, the death by a thousand cuts will need to continue, until the farmers are too weak to mount such protests again (Heaven knows how much the farmers had to spend on time and diesel to mount this one).
They need to use the upcoming elections to ensure that the usual suspects are removed from the EU parliament in June, but given that their authorities may not be above rigging such elections, that may be easier said than done.

The Shape of Global Leadership
2024-02-10
Jacob NordandGård guides us through the G7, G20, BRICS, WEF, BIS, IMF, UN, WHO...
It's a long video at a little over two hours, but it's a (weasel word alert!) "complex" topic.
"Crisis creates opportunity" so perhaps it's no surprise that we have a long sequence of crises that must be overcome by those who would rule the world. Clearly they are indispensable!
So put the kettle on, make yourself comfy, and settle down for a relaxed session that lays bare the way that the elite are pulling the strings of puppetry around the world via these important global groupings. Just don't nod off or you won't know if you missed something important...

The Shape of C40 London to Come?
2024-02-10
Whilst we are on the mundane topic of traffic tribunals...
... we rise up to take a birds-eye view of the likely course of future city interventions, courtesy of Laura Dodsworth.
It's not a vista conducive to wanting to move into the great metropolis of tomorrow in the same way that people moved into the metropolis of my youth - attracted by the bright lights, good times, funky clothing (yes, I did have a pair of flared trousers... though never drainpipes), and the sense of "happening". It was mostly myth of course and it didn't take me long to move away, housing becoming insanely expensive and traffic ridiculous.
Although that last bit is still true today, the dull compliance with all things rules-and-regulations that is required these days probably doesn't compete with the "happenings" of yesteryear. It is all going in the wrong direction, from bottom-up freedom to top-down one-size-fits-all coercion. Don't enter the hatched area, drive the right
