The Daily Sceptic gives one "James Leary" the chance to make the pertinent comment that links our own sorry situation to those in Europe.

It seems to be undoubtedly true that there is a "Great Game" being played out around the world and in particular around eastern Europe and the Middle East - the only question is "who is doing what to whom and what is their motivation?".

Why did Germany commit "green" suicide by closing all its effective power plants in favour of windmills and solar panels which simply cannot power its industrial base?

Why is the UK intent on committing the exact same blunder, whilst simultaneously imagining that it can build a (shhh - don't tell them) hugely power-hungry AI data centre driven future?

Will we ever win the war in Ukraine against the dastardly deranged power-mad Putin? 

Maybe Putin actually does understand that power really is the

The Club of Rome, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderbergs, the Atlantic Council, the WEF...  you can choose your name for them but what you get is the same globalist elite that evidently despises democracy, and embraces "expert" rule by Corporate Oligarchy, a global elite that knows instinctively what is good for them and fully intends to impose it on us.

According to Klaus Schwab:

"Stakeholder capitalism, a model I first proposed a half-century ago, positions private corporations as trustees of society, and is clearly the best response to today’s social and environmental challenges"

Is their notion of 'trustees of society' compatible with our constitutional notion of elected politicians who are accountable to their constituents? What are the chances of conflicts of interest arising?

So why would we need elections? They don't

"... this is now a US world and we will do as we want... "

Jeffrey Sachs explains the context within which the Ukraine conflict developed.

It's a sorry story, and the UK's Boris Johnson made a significant 'contribution'.

"I don't believe that there's a Collective West"

"... or a Global South... "

"... China is not an enemy, China is just a success story... "

"... we can do so many wonderful things right now... what do we need in order to do that? In my view, we need peace... most importantly, there are no deep reasons for conflict anywhere... "

"... because we don't have enough on the planet... as an economist I can tell you,

In case you are still wondering... 

In view of the lack of conventional military capability/capacity, as ever, Europe resorts to national posturing.

"If you oppose America's peace plan in Ukraine... then you are becoming an existential threat to the national security of the United States"

"... the script has been flipped... take a look at what happened at the United Nations recently... it was the United States voting with Russia, China, Belarus, North Korea, and it was France and the UK in opposition"

"... it's about economic relationships... "

" We will now seek economic collaboration as our primary methodology of coexistence..."

Even if politicians and estate agents traditionally vie for the title of "those who least enjoy public trust", it seems that at least in the EU, the incumbent politicians somehow are still preferred over their upstart opposition (perhaps the system still somehow works to consolidate the vote share of the leading parties?). It's a tricky analysis to perform, but Redacted have lined up a fearless pundit who doesn't shy away from picking some figures to indicate how he considers the political tides are moving in Germany, and the consequent reactions from the EU's "great and the good".

"The winner of the German elections is being called a big win for Globalists... a big win for more war in Ukraine... and a slap in the face to free speech and closed borders"

Maybe elections should be about policies rather than parties?

But whatever, it looks like a large number of German and maybe EU politicians are

The future of AI?

The market leaders took a knock recently when the Chinese DeepSeek made its debut on the world AI stage, denting their aura of invincibility and sending shock waves through the stock valuations of certain chip makers.

But who actually understands how AIs work?

And equally importantly, how they don't work? After all, they are the creation of human beings (work with me here) so will inevitably tend to inherit the human characteristic of fallibility.

So is AI on course to World take-over en route to conquering the Solar System, the Galaxy, and ultimately the Universe?

Maybe it isn't "racism" after all.

Maybe it's just good old-fashioned self-interest. And before we criticise ourselves for selfishness, we might remember two salient points

• We too are people with as much right to the benefits of life as anybody else
• Whilst we remain standing, we can provide help to others, but if we succumb to whatever threat may exist, we will be unable to provide help to others.

Hence whilst training with the TA we were told to put our own gas mask first before helping anyone else, and similarly we are advised in an aircraft decompression emergency to put on our own oxygen mask first before helping anybody else.

It's simple logic.

Yet in today's era of logic inversion, those in charge (predominantly but by no means exclusively of "the Left") want us all to effectively give our rights

"The original Q operation was a military intelligence drop system, designed to encourage independent research and public awareness of corruption"

The gauntlet dropped by Q was picked up by amateur sleuths everywhere.

"The “QAnon” label became a catch-all smear—any discussion of government corruption, human trafficking, or elite criminal networks could now be dismissed as “QAnon conspiracy theories"

... but only by the gullible. The amateur sleuths continued regardless and brought us to where we are today.

Perhaps AI has its uses after all.

Ben Fulford - still happily with us despite being turfed out of his rented accommodation last week - has somehow managed to post his weekly report as normal.

Normal however is perhaps not the best word to choose to describe the state of the world that he describes this week.

With the ancien régime facing collapse on multiple fronts due to extreme loss of (illegal) funding from their financial sources in the US, we can expect tantrums...

Two stories for the price of one (again) from Fortune and Freedom today.

Major investments in UK AI data centres is postulated - AI is clearly going to shape our future in ways not yet evident - and if you think that "Rachel from Accounts" will inevitably screw it all up, it appears that government investment is not involved.

Now it is true that if these private initiatives will all be dependent upon connections to our wind-mill fed intermittent grid, then Ed Milliband's wonderful Net Zero strategy would inevitably be the kiss of asphyxiation to such schemes, but I don't doubt that RR or Westinghouse would surely oblige each project with it's very own Small Modular Reactor, and to Hell with the grid and its strangulatory connective impossibilities.

We may all have an opinion on the operation of "Human Rights" laws in our country, but as most of us are not lawyers, we may be unsure exactly why we hold such an opinion.

Quite possibly it was because at some time in the past we read a newspaper report about some case or other and wondered how on earth the judgement that was handed down could be justified. We remember our reaction, but forget the detailed reasoning that underpinned it.

After a number of such reports crossing our cognitive threshold, the conclusion remains but the details have probably fallen through our memory hole. Unless of course we are a lawyer with a professional interest.

Dr David McGrogan writing for the Daily Sceptic does us a favour by explaining the primary characteristics that make laws good law, and how some of those primary characteristics were defeated by the introduction of the Human

This harks back to our 2023 report concerning the then UK Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework beta version (0.3) updated 11th January 2023 (CBDC / Citizen Id by whatever means?).

As explained in that video,this was an unremarkable update to a previous Act, introduced as a administrative update that didn't require Parliament to vote upon it.

If you didn't watch that, I suggest you watch it now.

We've had a lot of water beneath the Parliamentary bridge since then, yet it seems that the Labour Government for whatever reason decided in December 2024 to make a proper Bill out of it, even though the consultations on the areas covered by the

Avatars to the fore!

The war to dominate the narrative has taken a few turns recently - confusion resulting. Is it any wonder that we don't know whom to believe any more - when matters spin out of control, so also does the narrative.

Who is Trump? Who is Musk? And for whom do they work?

Eugyppius, a German writer on Substack, reviews the Munich Security Conference that "Vice-President" JD Vance addressed last week.

"It’s always dangerous to pick moments from the cacophony of current events and assign them historical significance, but if any singular speech is likely to signal the end of the present political insanity in Europe, it is the one Vance gave in Munich on Thursday"

A fascinating review that majors on pointing up the total hypocrisy (conscious or unconscious) of the European political players, and not merely in Germany.

Not to mention the ever-growing divide between the people and their politicians, something that America has just rectified...
