We know that the cost of Covid measures (value for money or not) has been sky high.

We know that the damage to the economy, to schooling, to the elderly was enormous.

But for a global assessment, we are indebted to UK Column for pulling together as complete a picture as I have yet seen.

"Since Covid–19 was recognized in Western countries in early 2020, expenditures on public health in many of them have more than doubled, imposing over $500 billion in monthly costs on the global economy"

" Food and non-alcoholic beverage prices rose by 14.6% in the 12 months to September 2022"

"in February 2020, there were already 4.43 million people on a

Tines change, and the mood of the nation presumably may change with them, so it's a question worth asking - what will the national mood be next Saturday 6th May?

It's not as though King Charles is uncontroversial - on the one hand he has championed organic horticulture and farming practices for many years, but on the other hand he is front and centre on Climate Change and apparently fully on board with that foreign multinational body the WEF, so his loyalties do appear questionable.

So without wishing to take sides on this argument, there are questions to be asked, and who better for the job than Richard Vobes?

These two videos ambushed me this morning.

On the face of it neither of them grabbed my attention, but I wasn't feeling my best (late night last night) so it was convenient to indulge YouTube with some leisurely viewing, apropos of nothing in particular.

Serendipity - the art of encountering fortuitous happenings!

These are long videos, and in a (rather extended) weak moment I watched them both to the end. They are not related except in as much as they deal with a broad sweep of history, but the presentation and subject matter is complementary.

The first is an interview of talking heads, and is probably the easier to follow, whilst the second is in lecture format (albeit quite informal) but it does have an annoying habit of showing the lecturer rather than the slides he is talking about.

And ignore the intro, it's nothing to do

The good folks at LarouchePAC are undoubtedly good folks but unhappily somewhat low-key, even on occasion stultifyingly boring - there, forgive me, but I said it.

That's not however to say that they are wrong, inconsequential, or can be safely ignored.

If Trump has an Agenda 47 then I'm pretty sure we should be taking a vigorous interest.

So what is this Agenda 47? 

If "the Donald" will forgive me, I summarise briefly below:

• A new generation of 10 new "Freedom Cities" (to be commissioned after a design competition)
• VTOL vehicles as the next generation of personal transport
• Air mobility revolution to transform commerce
• Dramatic lowering of cost of living
• Baby

An unlikely headline you may think, but Scott Ritter explains it in a few seconds flat.

And I would say that he's on the button.

Question is, will they go to war with Ukraine / NATO, or will Ukraine respond to China's offer to intermediate some negotiations before it gets totally out of hand?

" ... on April 1st, Ukraine was supposed to sit down in Istanbul and sign a peace treaty with Russia - but NATO intervened...  "  (I suspect that was April 2022)

"... I say this as an American who doesn't want to die... "

"... ultimately, that's his only viable option... "

John Mappin speaks to Flyover Conservatives - but I guess many of us are flyover conservatives now.

Very interesting.

The tide is turning in the UK and Europe.

This is a long and convoluted story, so make of it what you will. 

Whilst it necessarily skips over vast tracts of history, much of the history of recent centuries is widely recognised. Now may be a good time to review it.

This is the type of new world order that I can support:

"America was the greatest nation in history, because our people have always believed... that tomorrow can be better than today, and every one of us has a personal moral responsibility to make it so"

But maybe that isn't the type that our leaders and manipulators have in mind for us:

Some logical analysis of the evidence, from the redoubtable Nick Hubble (for whom I have the greatest respect) of Fortune and Freedom.

It's not just the green/not green argument - it's how we do it, and the truly silly thing is that nobody seems to have come up with a feasible plan.

Sadly, being silly has never been a bar to political promotion (some might even think that being both gullible and plausible is a primary qualification for an ambitious politician), so we can't just say that we won't believe it because it's too preposterous.

We choose what we believe for better or for worse, and what we think and what we believe influences others, so it behoves each of us individually to choose very carefully when the stakes are as high as this. Going with the flow is no safeguard against the idiocy of our politicians.

Policy comes into it, so does civil unrest, so does consent, so does timing, so does economics,

In what seems likely to mark the start of full public recognition of the harms caused by the C jabs, the German press now find themselves competing to make sure they are not left behind the curve. 

After all, the job of the press is to report the truth and hold the powerful to account - and they have a lot of lost time to make up.

Now that a major European country is piercing the veil of press censorship, can the others be far behind?

The Daily Sceptic has the story.

Also the UK story that the Perseus Group ("a

As ever, those who would rule the world, together with their dupes and accomplices, have it exactly backwards - the way to green the Earth is through more CO₂ not less!

We know this from satellite photos, and the totally dismal record of failure of the predicted climate apocalypses that somehow never materialised.

NetZero Watch celebrates 52 years of never getting it right, both for our entertainment, and for the necessary instruction of those who haven't been around that long but have suffered the indoctrination offered by our out-of-control education system.

Was learning ever this much fun?

Robert F Kennedy Jr has declared his candidacy to contest the 2024 US presidential Election on a Democratic ticket. 

Redacted dives into his stated policy platform and finds it an extraordinary break from past custom and practice that would absolutely turn American foreign and domestic policy on its head.

Then they move on to discuss the current political ructions at the Arctic Council - where the current membership is seeking to exclude Russia ("50% of the Arctic coastline") from cooperation. A recipe for orderly peace and tranquillity, or something else?
