This is a lively discussion that allows Scott Ritter to do what he does best - explain the facts of geopolitics with clarity and conviction.

Will the Gaza ceasefire hold?

Who will back down? (Clue: if you think that "the Donald" is minded to so do, you are likely to suffer a disappointment!)

Here is one view of our situation as 2025 commences.

Whilst much of this summary is true, it obviously doesn't cover everything that is going on.

The truth is that no human being has a monopoly on the truth - we have to accept that, and work together to do what must be done.

"... they need us on our knees, they need us begging... hopeless... powerless... completely dependent on them, and they will do whatever it takes to make that happen "

It does appear so. "They" also need us isolated from each other, to prevent communication. If you are reading this, how well is that working?

"... you need to do what you can with what you have where you are, to not just become the best possible version of yourself but to create a life that you are in charge of... "

When push comes to shove, after we have made

Today's offering from Martin Geddes relates some of his day-to-day coping mechanisms following on from his post-pandemic learning journey.

The pandemic probably isn't over in so far as the medical juggernaut is still pushing its mendacious wares on those who despite everything remain unawares, thinking that all that is in the past and not coming back.

Martin more than most has done his best to unravel the circumstances that gave rise to it, and to take on some of the concomitant peripheral challenges, giving us valuable insights and acquiring not a few mental scars in the process.

Today he reviews where he stands in these left-over days trailing behind 2024, when progress seems slow to most of us in Blighty (not so slow in California) and still downhill in both direction and aspiration.

Nick Hubble discusses the power sources of the future, and whether the grid will still be providing our power in the future.

Net Zero CO₂ has come to mean net zero power, which would mean a far smaller population able to subsist off its own land. That isn't what we have become accustomed to, nor is it acceptable to the population at large.

So failing the elusive zero-point energy, or the nuclear fusion that we are still being assured is "just around the corner" (as it, like the cure for cancer, has been for around the last 50 years - just bung us a few squillions more dosh and we'll be wheeling it out in no time), how is our power sourcing likely to evolve from here?

Laura Dodsworth suggests that "we need a cognitive freedom movement".

She is (rightly in my view) concerned about the manipulative techniques that governments use to persuade us to buy into their favoured narratives, even to persuade us to take on board total tosh, such as man-made climate change and 'we're all going to die!'. 

OK, what exactly does "cognitive" mean?

Even the dictionaries seem a bit confused:

"an adjective that means connected with thinking or conscious mental processes"

"relating to, being, or involving conscious intellectual activity"

"a term used in psychology to describe anything related to thinking, learning, and understanding"

"relating to

Neil Oliver, with his usual eloquent and well-thought-out analysis of a previously very unusual subject, a subject that has now been accorded the prominence due and required by its seriousness.

This is not party-political (it has likely been going on under all governments of my life-time), it is pro-life and pro-justice.

Since time immemorial, humanity has been organised into groups - some cooperating, some fighting, some dispersed, some concentrated geographically, but in general all under some form of leadership.

If we believe the history books, then these leaders eventually developed into hereditary leadership families known as "Royalty".

Naturally, individual leaders cannot be everywhere at once giving people instruction and judging aberrant behaviours, so the concept of Royal Courts that administered each locality on behalf of the monarch was instituted.

Likewise the monarch could not know everything that perhaps he needed to know, so the concept of the advisory council (Witan in Old England) was born where the monarch could pick the finest brains in the land before determining on any particular course of action. From these beginnings arose our current "Parliamentary

Elon Musk, a fabulously rich entrepreneur, who supposedly made his money creating new and very popular services such as PayPal, innovations such as Tesla self-driving autonomous vehicles, and who is also a defence contractor (well, a man must make his living where he can), boasts a close relationship with "the Donald" (and did I mention "X"?), is now seemingly entertaining himself by adopting a new role: the scourge of malfunctioning governments!

A tweet or two from Musk and the snowflakes in said malfunctioning governments clutch their pearls, grab for their smelling salts, and between hyper-ventilations write all kinds of opinion pieces declaring that he must be controlled, preferably silenced, lest he inflame their easily-deceived moronic voters into believing that changes may be desirable at the next elections! And (Shock! Horror!) he isn't even a politician, so what on earth does he think he's doing?!

He's setting an excellent example to the rest of us - he's doing his own thinking, coming to

A tale of two cities .. well, one city and a town I suppose would be more accurate.

Whilst by no means typical oftowns and cities across the nation, perhaps these may be thought to become so if we simply extrapolate current rates of deterioration for a few more decades. Of course there will always be better places to dwell (where else would the well-to-do live?), but as pointers to the typical urban homescapes ofthe future, perhaps these vignettes serve a purpose, a reminder that local civilisation involves purpose as well as, perhaps more than, comforts.

When one purpose fades, how to find a new purpose? This seems to be a relevant question that somehow doesn't get much asked, yet surely it needs to be the first question for which any aspiring politician hopeful of election

Dr Shiva Ayyadurai, "inventor of email", candidate for US Presidency, opponent of the Deep State, and uncompromising champion of a global grass-roots movement to make the Deep State obsolete, explains his movement at a weekly "town hall" Zoom meeting.

(2 hrs 25 mins - less if you start at the 27 minute mark,  thus skipping the individual introductions at the beginning)

I know of no other campaigner who impresses me with such logical analysis and effective organisation - worth paying attention.

It's a good question. Times and tides wait for no man. The tide of perfidious intent of our passing World Order is ebbing, and a tide of new consciousness will - must - replace it on the rebound.

Whose consciousness will determine the nature and thrust of this new incoming?

If you aren't part of the solution, then you are part of the problem!

What difference will the indicated appointments of Elon and Vivek to the new shiny Department of Government Efficiency (now there's a oxymoron for you!) make to America, and by extension, to the world?

In short, will the DOGE be any more effective than the infamous Department of Administrative Affairs of "Yes Minister" fame? 

The inimitable, highly experienced, but just possibly terminally jaundiced-of-outlook Bill Bonner sets out his reasoning.

But as is always the case, we must critically examine the core assumptions (often also unstated) upon which his reasoning is based. It's always the lazy assumptions that catch us out when

Ukraine / Syria centre stage, and President Putin setting out his analysis.

There's much power-play going on behind closed doors, largely unknowable. The only thing obvious is that there is no going back to the status quo ante.

And what exactly is "Greater Turkey"?

Argentina has had a chequered financial and political history.

"By 1900, Argentina’s economy was bigger than the rest of Latin America put together, and about the size of all of Western Europe put together. There seemed to be nowhere to go but up"

But, then the politicians did what politicians do.

"For much of the 20th century, Argentina slipped into severe economic decline and remained so for decades"

But President Milei has put a stop to the decline:

"Milei has abolished entire government departments, fired ministers and drastically reduced the size and scope of government"

"This year, Milei announced that Argentina had just run a budget surplus – its FIRST surplus since the golden years of the early 1900s

Five years ago the world caught the Covid bug, and none more severely than the medical regulators and politicians. 

From whom they caught it isn't too difficult to guess, once we realise that money may be exceedingly good at transmitting such bugs from hand to hand, but I digress.

Regulators world-wide somehow got carried away by the Covid peril, discarding all previously well-considered science in favour of drama, censorship, and punishment of the disagreeable few who dared to speak truth to both power and the public.

The wheels of justice grind slow but in the right hands they grind well, and one such disagreeable doctor who had his licence withdrawn for daring to speak out has had his day in court, and emerged triumphant, with a scathing judgement against his medical board.

What he knew then, we know now, in many ways thanks to him.

He has radically updated the peoples' understanding of the government-industrial-media complex, and not just in America.

Whatever we think of him, there are not many of whom that can be said.
