Scott Ritter notes that NATO is not only politically fragmented, but also militarily and practically. There is nothing practical supporting the rhetoric of confrontation any longer.

This is a compelling note from an old hand at the game of modern life, and how best to play the hand that has been dealt to our modern young men, who survey the world in which they find themselves, and wonder where to start, what it is about...

Can one really put an old head on young shoulders?

No, they must make their way as best they may like everyone else, but perhaps they may start out slightly better informed than the State education establishments would leave them.

Not everyone will agree with all of this, but it strikes me as a genuine attempt to put forward a few home truths that will likely have eluded them so far...

It won't be right for everyone, but it could be valuable for some, perhaps for many.

See what you

Ben reports this week on the recent meeting between "Trump" and "Xi", the threatening of Maduro in Venezuela, and the general world of geopolitics.

Yes, we're still in the world of ongoing confusion where nothing apparently ever gets resolved, but no faction has ultimate control.

Operation Talla was either:

• the UK's national coordinated policing response to the COVID19 pandemicie: one UK police force working together (sic) under one national operation, or
• individual police forces working operationally independently in accord with national statute and NPCC guidance

"The contradiction could not be more striking. The Home Secretary explicitly celebrated centralisation; the NPCC later denied it existed"

(NPCC: National Police Chiefs' Council)

I suppose we might say that the NPCC's guidance to the Chief Constables was just that - guidance - and so still compliant with the law, but when does "guidance" stray into "instruction"? When

Well, we live here, so do we not know our fate?

Equally, if that fate has still to be decided, how could we already know it?

And in so far as our political settlement has perhaps never been in such trouble since the English Civil War, it may well have to be decided, and perhaps more shortly than we have been lazily inclined to believe...

"The Office for National Statistics may not yet publish a Sedition Index, but the figures are suggestive enough"

"Even a small fraction of that disaffected cohort... would rival the active membership of every radical movement in modern British history – and with far better broadband"

David Betz and Michael Rainsborough writing in the Daily Sceptic hit multiple nails right on the head in this considerable piece on the state of the Nation today. This is a huge topic so don't expect all your favourite grievances to

If the War of 1812 is of interest, then so perhaps is this discussion of an historical artefact made in the preceding century for Empress Elizabeth I of Russia. After all, if the French and Russians were not fighting amongst themselves in 1812, then whom were they fighting?

Beyond that question however, there does seem to be more than meets the eye to this seemingly slightly unwanted artefact that graces a corner of the Kremlin, showing as it may Russia's eastern neighbour of a century earlier...

Napoleon's war on Russia and the burning of Moscow, followed by his long and tragic march back through the Russian winter, is accepted history.

Including by Leo Tolstoy, author of War and Peace, written half a century or so after the events thereinportrayed. 

But are we learning that not everything we thought we knew may be accurate ..?

Lots of dubious "content" on social media and elsewhere re the phenomenon known as 3I/Atlas, mostly speculation, and perhaps mostly excitable in nature, and definitely influenced by a huge dollop of hype for purposes that remain obscure.

So who better to disperse this hype than the very unexcitable but hugely knowledgeable Ken Walker?

Scott Ritter on the MOAT show.

It's still the same message, with a twist.

"It's a death sentence to be sent to the front line"

Yes, it's still a war of attrition. Both on the Ukrainian battlefield, and on the international political battlefield.

And Scott has some pithy comments to make about the Venezuela situation...

Mood music or firm results?

It seems to have been over very quickly, implying that they were just crossing the "i"s and dotting the "t"s.

The technocracy of tomorrow is incoming today, and the lightning speed of technological development isn't short of the BIG BUCKS that will speed it on its way.

So what do we have in store for us if we inadvertently allow Big Tech to pierce a crack in our armour? They have already shown us that they won't hesitate to claim our acquiescence even if they didn't bother to do the "informing" part of "informed consent".

And they don't show any sign of changing their ways, even as they show every sign of changing our's.

Once we let them into our minds to "enhance our thinking" through "the power of AI" (or they do it anyway without openly saying so), then it's open season to do as they please with us; our consent to their dystopia will be automatically theirs through the wonders of technology.

If the AI doesn't approve of us thinking "no", it will simply "enhance our thinking" so that we think "yes!". Job

This site doesn't do party politics, but that doesn't mean that we don't do politics. After all, the fact that many people take no interest politics doesn't prevent the politicians from poking their noses into the people's affairs. Especially now that CBDC-linked Gov Ids are are believed to be feasible, they can poke right the way down to the individual citizen and what he had for Sunday dinner.

"You had an extra slice of toast for breakfast on Satiurday so to keep the world cool your bread ration is now halved for next week and your price per British standard loaf will be increased by one third"

Note that they don't have to get the actual facts right - it's sufficient to make sure that there isn't any effective way to challenge their facts. In fact it's probably better to get them wrong because then the individual will have no choice but to give up the unequal struggle for correctness and just submit to whatever "they" impose.

This is yet another hardy perennial which hasn't been investigated for ever, but when such an investigation does slip through, the scent of whitewash liberally applied tends toward the hazardous.

We were reporting on this back in 2020 but the original video has somehow been removed.

Still, this prior article gives the official FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler's then views on the need for a health and safety approach to the 5G roll-out.

As there has seemingly been no official progress that hasn't been accused of whitewash, it's obviously time to review the situation. The WHO has

We invented the steam engine (so we are told) and from that, Steam Rollers (now more prosaically called "road rollers") and of course, railways.

Of course, "Health and Safety" wasn't such an industry in those days, so people had a comparatively free hand to get themselves into all sorts of scrapes at their own risk, without fear of some busybody with a clipboard coming round to tell you what you couldn't do and quite possibly slapping you with a fine.

But isn't the US showing the way with MAGA? 

Could we not do something similar here in the UK?

This is part 2 of Nick Griffin's discourse on how the world's humanity is being rearranged by the powers that shouldn't be, and what we could and should perhaps do about it - if anything.

This is probably the great issue of our time, and we cannot underestimate it, but do we actually, really and truly, understand it? Have we looked beyond the knee-jerk alarm to analyse its effects, even to apply the "so what?" test to separate the intrinsically unproblematic from the definitely unsustainable?

This will be a long road, along which we have already travelled a considerable distance without much understanding of the eventual destination - time to apply some seriously overdue and unemotional thinking and to begin to rate our various options.
