So here's the geopolitical news re the Middle East of yesteryear, direct from "Whitehall"...looks like nothing much has changed, other than things getting immeasurably worse.

Come on Martin Geddes, don't hang back, tell us what you really think.

"Proof now follows punishment. Judicial names have become decorative. Mercy and proportionality are excised as inefficiencies. The law that once restrained power now operationalises extraction"

But they'd never get away with it!

"In the vocabulary of legality, it all sounds reasonable. In the language of conscience, it is extortion with paperwork"

So Justice is now subordinate to Jim Hacker's Department of Administrative Affairs?

"Yes, Prime Minister, it's so much more convenient and streamlined... "

The country has always run on lawful consent.

No consent, no obligation.

But did we not consent to Parliament doing as it wanted when we participated at the last election?

Well, there's the rub. The nub of the problem.

We as a population may have expressed a wish (assuming that the election result wasn't fiddled, as it now appears the US elections were at times fiddled), but how to refute UN-WEF policies when all major parties support the same? It would require a monumental public awakening to get everyone to spoil their ballot and declare "None of these thank you".

So such "consent" is at best dodgy, and in practice impractical. And even if we may be presumed to vote on the basis of politicians pre-election promises and manifestos, we all know how well carried through those promises turn out to be post-election.

The What? The Internet Governance Forum? What's That?

Martin Geddes once more, this time trying to give us insight into the primary question of our time:

"What the Hell is going on?"

Making sense of the news (from wherever we may glean it) has never been more tricky - and certainly many believe that we can no longer (if ever we could) rely on the august probity of the BBC to interpret the news for us.

Take for example the Charlie Kirk phenomenon. That really does look like the proverbial rabbit-hole where it seems impossible to sort the truth from the multiple apparent misdirections.

So perhaps we need an investigatory framework within which to marshal the facts, the assertions, and indeed the improbable but not definitively excluded possibilities.

"You won’t need a PhD to join: reference frameworks and

"Abuse" can occur at many levels right through from the Global to the personal (OK, the pedantic may want to replace "global" by "galactic" or some such, but you get the point).

"The Matrix" is a systematic abuse of the population at large through widespread application of  deceit, fear, and misdirection, through media either unwitting, careless, or complicit.

Within this system we inevitably end up in one of a number of different role types (perhaps several types over different times and circumstances) which Martin Geddes has identified with a little help from AI.

It's useful to understand what is going on here, as it may help us to recognise what is going on in our own circumstances. Although I don't suppose that the list is exhaustive, it's a start.

"The purpose is not to assign blame, but to give you

And where will the US stand in such an event?

"Europe is about to collapse and the United States is washing its hands of it"

Well, if the EU is truly intent on picking a fight with its easterly neighbour, what is the US supposed to do about it?

"Western elites in Brussels, Berlin, and Paris are pushing Vladimir Putin into a corner — leaving him no choice but to defend Mother Russia"

"The elites want war without regard to reality"

If I am confused about the alleged shooting of Charlie Freak, then I'd bet that many are also confused. It looked to me like a psy-op - merely the most recent of many - and likely perpetrated by one of the usual array of suspects. For all I know, "Charlie Freak" may himself have been a psy-op.

This is a second outing by Martin Geddes into the deep uncharted waters of "Charlie Freak" (see the companion piece here). And yes, he dives deep, yet not to uncover the truth, but to reveal the significance. Or not - it's for us to decide.

"... this isn’t mere strategy; it’s the soul’s field-manual. Warfare’s theater doubles as ego’s quiet audit under divine direction"

If you're a general or maybe a politician, established habits of geopolitics and warfare die hard, and any incoming alien group (unless it arrives uninvited in small inflatables from mid-Channel) will likely be taken as a hostile force and met with military action. To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

But maybe this doesn't present the best way to interact with "aliens" that come our way.

For a start, whencever they come from, their technology is likely to be vastly more developed than ours, so they will assuredly have sent their scouts in advance, and will know to bring some primitive inflatables with them on a calm day. If they are friendly.

If not, we will have no answers should they decide to rumble us. Our best course therefore is likely to be to hold the military, offer respectful friendliness, and to try to learn as much as possible from them in

In the spirit of boldness, who will dare to venture where others fear to tread?

Not in the material universe of earth, air, fire, water, animal, vegetable, mineral, flesh and blood, light and dark, sun moon planets and the mysteries of the physical universe...
... but in the spiritual universe of knowledge, truth, love, trust, promises, encouragement, transparency, freedom, sovereignty... and mysticism, fear, deceit, betrayal, secrecy, psychological imprisonment, threats and slavery...   

Well, nowadays we all have little choice - the domain of the physical universe which we inhabit has perhaps long been thought to be infinite, and we are learning that the domain of the spirit is much more extensive than perhaps we realised in our

"Zionism" goes back a long way.

It has spread its factions all across Europe, Russia, the UK, and America, and (for all I know) almost everywhere else.

But what is it? Where did it come from, how did it prove so resilient that it now seems de facto to rule much of the world?

Why did we in England have a big hand in creating the State of Israel, and therefore everything else that flowed from that decision? No doubt the effects of WW2 on the Empire had something to do with it, but Zionists didn't waste much time in encouraging the British to leave by bombing the King David Hotel, in the lead up to the establishment of the State of Israel two years later. 

But perhaps we just

The only item missing this week is the eponymous prophet of doom walking up and down the High Street with his "The End is Nigh" message held defiantly aloft.

Instead we have an additional announcement under "Breaking News: "The Gaza and Ukraine wars are to be ended immediately"

The EU already has recalcitrant Hungary and Slovakia on its hands, so news that another dreadful populist has won a national election (isn't that what elections are for?!), in the Czech Republic, has them scrambling.

Some might unkindly suggest that their thinking is scrambled already, but in that case another election may not make all that much difference.

According to Victor Orban, the EU is now pushing for a war footing against Russia. Hungary under Mr Orban is concerned that

"Europe is signing on to a climate of "endless war"..."

Mr Orban would like the EU to negotiate a long term Security Agreement with Russia, since war is not in their interests.

How sensible, how quaint, and how impossible for the EU leadership to contemplate.
