“A truth’s initial commotion is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was believed. It wasn’t the world being round that agitated people, but that the world wasn’t flat.
When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic”
— (Perhaps) Donald James

1. Some think that the present election turmoil in the United States is just the usual American over-the-top way of doing things.
2. That it happens to coincide with an unrelated pandemic which governments around the world are mishandling to a quite extraordinary degree is just the way things are.
3. That coincidentally the World Economic Forum, the UN, the Central Banks all talking about a "Great Reset" is another unrelated exercise.
4. And that elected (and maybe unelected) leaders around the world are suddenly all with

The state of Texas has bid to sue the "battleground" states where election law as set out in the Constitution was allegedly not adhered to.

Seventeen other states have joined in to support this action and President Trump has indicated that he will intervene also to protect his rights as an affected party.

Because this is one (or more) states suing other states, this case must be heard in the Supreme Court of the United States and cannot be heard in any state court - thus it goes right to the top right away.

Also they don't have to show evidence of fraud to prove the point, only to show that the election

This perhaps self-interested piece by Egon von Greyerz of Matterhorn Asset Management provides a useful and perhaps timely reminder of the current seemingly precarious world of financial investments.

Note that financial corrections are not by and large destructive of real assets - they are simply revaluations that bring market prices back to earth to provide a more realistic basis for the markets to do their proper work of discovering prices going forward (if left to their own devices). Such a rebalancing would send many with precarious finances to the wall, allowing the more solvent to pick up their assets at fire-sale prices.

The big problem with working out where the financial markets are going is that politicians and central bankers do not leave them to their own devices, and have not done so for many years. What novel (and potentially destructive) wheeze are they going

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

It's an old adage, but an adage that has stood the test of time.

Will "the vaccine" stand the test of time?

Drs Wodarg and Yeadon don't like what they see and "filed an application with the EMA, the European Medicine Agency responsible for EU-wide drug approval, for the immediate suspension of all SARS CoV 2 vaccine studies, in particular the BioNtech/Pfizer study on BNT162b (EudraCT number 2020-002641-42)."

Good luck with that one - as time passes and we study the statistics we can see that the pandemic is primarily political rather than medical in nature, which to my tainted mind almost certainly means that no good will come of it.

The US election is beset by problems.

The mainstream media on both sides of the Atlantic were quick to declare Biden the new president-elect (why wait for the official processes to complete?) but since that time more and more evidence has been coming out that the election may have been a giant hoax, with Trump votes dumped and switched in dubious machinations within the electronic voting systems whilst suspiciously large numbers of mail-in ballots were found in the last moments (allegedly all for Biden).

Lawfare has ensued and continues, and rightly so - if the election really was swung by nefarious means then it is hard to imagine a greater crime, so the law must run its course and be seen to do so.

Alongside this process an information war is raging with the mainstream media on the one hand supporting the "nothing to see here" narrative and Facebook, Google et al censoring the alternative message on social media.

Alastair Crooke (not to be confused with the late great Alistair Cooke!) writing for Strategic Culture Foundation delivers a thoughtful discourse on how "the elites" of global governance try to (more or less surreptitiously) mould our attitudes and social mores to their liking, gradually shifting and transforming their narratives the better to persuade us to accept the type of eventual governance that they have in mind for us.

Always the objective is to move away from the "bottom up" democratic style of government (in so far as it has to date been permitted us) towards the "top down" style where government is in the hands of "the elites" who tell the rest of us how we must live and what we must and must not

Some of us have been concerned for many years now that our perfidious Parliament will allow the EAW (European Arrest Warrant) to live on well beyond its Brexit end-by date.

Torquil Dick-Erikson writing for Brexit Watch now discloses the confirmation that as far as HMG is concerned "There is no intention for extradition to any EU jurisdiction after the end of transition period to be made subject to a court ruling that there is a prima facie case".

There you have it. i don't doubt that the EAW will be "renegotiated" post "Brexit" and repackaged to look a little more like a new arrangement, but the fundamentals will remain the same.

So much for Habeas Corpus and our freedom from arrest and imprisonment without trial for prolonged, maybe indefinitely prolonged, periods. We can still be summarily arrested and

The Drive for the Covid Vaccines

Regardless of what we think about the cause of the peak in April, we are now in December and observing what has every appearance of a normal profile of winter deaths from respiratory infections (covid + flu + rhinovirus etc).

I’m by no means the only one who thinks so.

So a number of pharmaceutical companies have spent a lot of money, as little time as possible, and a huge investment in publicity, to develop and sell a vaccine for Covid.

Let us for the moment be trusting and assume that these vaccines will be both “safe” and

Jonathan Saxty writing for Brexit Watch draws our attention to the differences that the Swiss canton system bestows upon Swiss democracy, as compared to our own system.

He also draws attention to the Covert Human Intelligence Sources (CHIS) Bill  that "affords police – and other public bodies – the power to forgive crimes committed in the interests of national security, preventing or detecting crime or disorder, and for economic reasons".

For economic reasons???

David Banks writing for Brexit Watch reviews the current state of our "withdrawal" from EU defence initiatives, and finds the usual ambiguity (some might think disparity) about our military relationship with the EU post-"Brexit".

Of course, a military relationship doesn't just cover troop and equipment deployments, it must also cover inter-operability, common specifications, procurement and defence contractors.

If we can't manufacture our own arms and equipment then we will be beholden to the EU for such supplies - which could therefore be withheld in the event of policy differences. In any case, what chance do we think UK defence contractors would have of being chosen by the EU to supply their needs? In the short term they might have little option in specific areas but longer-term contracts could be progressively withheld until our defence industries

To remind ourselves how we got here, I have linked the speeches delivered by "the Donald" to both the World Economic Forum (a.k.a. "Deep State") and the United Nations (a.k.a. the "Great Unelected" through which some think the "Deep State" is trying on the current Covid coup du monde).

Migration Watch UK recently put out a press release covering the performance of the Home Office in managing inbound illegal immigrants.

No prizes for guessing the overall tenor of the report.

"it is hard to avoid the conclusion that it has neither the capacity nor the capabilities, in particular in respect of criminal investigation and prosecution, required to manage this threat more effectively"

To which one might reasonably add "nor the will".

Following an earlier article in the Mail (only slightly provocatively entitled "What they DON'T tell you about Covid and how the facts can be twisted") the Dept of Health and Social Care took to Twitter to contest the DM's message:

"This article is misleading. This is a global pandemic . . . "  (etc - I'll save you the rest as it's entirely unoriginal)

Haven't they heard that they can just ring up Twitter and get them to brand it as "misleading"?  That way they can avoid any repercussions, such as righteous indignation from many quarters, by deflecting them onto someone else.

Ah well, maybe next time.

As it is the Mail was able to publish a follow-up, ramming home the message from their original article and pointing up the absurdity of the government setting up a tweet that was certain to attract many cogent and indignant replies:

"Sir Graham Brady,
