Greater Reset!

For good or ill, change is sorely needed.

But what kind of change?

Well, there would seem to be only one candidate, a former scourge of the EU Commission, in the frame - Nigel Farage.

A consummate politician who (a bit like Trump) appeals to the man in the street rather than to the political hacks and media pundits.

So can "the Nigel" do for British politics what "the Donald" just did for the mighty United States?

Importantly, can he manage as well as politic? Can he mould public opinion as well as reflect it?

Can he outmanoeuvre the Sir Humphreys of this world and set Parliament back on track as the true representatives of their constituents who really do determine policy?

One thing is for sure - if the Civil Service under his premiership retains its "untouchable" status,

Martin Geddes provokes our little grey cells once more.

His journey from matters material/commercial through matters legal and on to matters spiritual has been a fascinating tale, and has exposed how he considers that the matters legal may conflict with both the spiritual and the inappropriate implementation of the legal.

Javier Milei encapsulated the folly of trying to legislate for every possibility when he noted "the infinite expansion of the aberrant state" in his recent address to Davos 2025, although he probably had more in mind than just rules and regulations (the State being very prone these days to extend its reach into control of matters parental and much else besides).

Goodbye old world, Hello new world, same as the old world?

So we stand at the precipice, yet it's too early to tell for sure how things will develop.

Certainly the ceasefire in Gaza is a positive sign that demonstrates an unlikely level of leverage over an intransigent regime that has myopically and single-mindedly pursued its inglorious aims of expansion and domination ever since the now infamous Balfour Declaration appeared in the wake of the end of WW2. 

Yet the verdict of the American people in the 2024 election has broken a logjam.

Clearly something new is up, but what exactly that is will only be unveiled over time. The geopolitical world has many moving parts, some of which have been immobile and rusting for far too long to now spring swiftly and surely into action - the makers of WD40 should make a killing!

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... "

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

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

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
