Rich Does Politics reviews the Putin visit to China, with Tom Luongo.

There's a lot of good points made here, even if the style of presentation sometimes tends to obscure them.

"... they are building their war plans, but they are leaving NATO behind... "

Alex Krainer reviews the current state of global relations, with particular interest in the Ukraine. It seems that there is still no shortage of those who will keep stirring that brew of evil.

And is the UK really to take command of northern European navies? Perhaps that's one reason why we need more admirals than we have ships...

Will the doors on the global panopticon ever need to slam shut?

Are we not already comfily ensconced in our own virtual reality paradigm, automatically entertained by our YouTubers of choice brought to our attention by the ever-obliging System? The System that seemingly effortlessly, even magically, knows what we want before we ourselves have realised it?

Hmmm.

Sofia Karstens writing for the Brownstone Institute thinks that we are a long way down that road already. 

But it's not the collective we as a group, it's the we of separate individuals acting individually...  and that difference is critical, because humanity isn't a bunch of separated individuals, it's individuals acting as individuals, as groups, as associates, as parts of larger wholes that form spontaneously to achieve objectives larger than any one individual could even envisage, let alone complete.

Climate Change is so Last Year. Even Last Century.

Even the IPCC is recanting.

But not our redoubtable Ed Miliband, who it seems is made of sterner stuff.

And indeed, who is to say who is right and who is wrong?

Perhaps those whom Ed the IYI insists on dragging remorselessly ever deeper into his government-mandated whirlpool of subsidies cross-charges and opaque pricing mechanisms that somehow purport to show that by paying for more subsidies more grid infrastructure thousands of miles of pylons and millions of windmills that wont work when the wind doesn't blow (not to mention more charges for turning off windmills when the wind blows too hard) the much-patronised consumers will actually pay less for their electricity... ?

Well, when

If we for a moment make the working assumption that the current world Humpty Dumpty (the UN the WEF and all its unaccountable hangers on) is doomed to spiritual and actual collapse, then we must look forward to a new phase of earth habitation that is not dominated by private unaccountable interests.

This is so far removed from the structures under which we have grown up into adults that the form that such a world might take isn't intuitively obvious. Take away the bosses and what would we have?

We would have a workforce that still knows how to do what it has always done - create and sell product. What we wouldn't have is the super-rich oligarchs who invest in projects that may or may not align

I have to say that Rich (under Mark Attwood's tutelage!) is coming up with what seems like a great deal of good sense.

Whether it is close to the truth or not is up for everybody's assessment, but for my money Trump's extremely high profile visit to Beijing doesn't much resemble humiliation...

Funny how different reporters frame the Trump visit to President Xi. 

Benjamin Fulford is having none of it.

Who is right? I don't know. But we should find out soon enough if Ben's prophesying star is in the ascendant...

It's a highly informative report that shouldn't be missed as it frames a completely different narrative, which for my money is perfectly possible, and indeed in normal times would be considered convincing. 

But these are definitely not normal times. (Modest subscription required for full access)

Martin Geddes in independent journalist mode, reporting on the Unite the Kingdom rally.

Well, it's reasonable to suppose that anti-monarchists wouldn't be in attendance, although it depends upon exactly what principles or messages we are exhorted to unite behind. 

Covid is gone (although far from forgotten), so the purpose isn't as obvious as it was in Covid days.

And perhaps that has something to do with it. 

The song of today's title hints at a melancholy that perhaps partly characterises Martin's take on the day's activities.

What to believe?

Why have all the world's governments been evidently gripped by a collective desire to bamboozle their subjects into believing manifestly untrue propositions?

• That vaccines (which didn't exist prior to the 19th century) are the only way to protect us against seemingly unpredictable pandemics (which were nevertheless predicted).
  
  
• That governments should provide the answers to all our difficulties.
  
  
• That carbon dioxide is a major pollutant (and never mind that without it all plant life would die and cease producing the oxygen that animal life needs to survive).
  
  
• Oh, and (how could I forget?) that sex is a matter of personal choice (that can only be delivered by "medical care" designed to negate our innate characteristics in favour of characteristics considered basic to a chosen or affirmed sex, regardless of the

Martin Geddes makes a welcome return to the Palnackie problem, which longer-standing readers may remember.

My suspicion is that this will be his final excursion around the topic, and it brings into focus the fact that the legal system cannot resolve all issues.

Our country is changing in many ways, and not just due to legalities and demographics.

Read his reflections here.

I don't know how anybody will react to this, but I do know that burying heads in the sand never did anybody's eyesight any good.

I can't say I've checked out all the figures because I have not - they are complex, life is too short, and Nick is probably as competent as the next man to do the sums.

I am pretty confident that he ends up in the right ball-park, and that has drastic implications for our future in the UK and Europe as a whole. The "left" has been rubbing our noses in "diversity" for so long that our future will look very different from our past, but how we create that future will still be up to us, the population, to sort out, and overall we will still be humans, with the common needs of humanity, and capable of cooperation in order to meet those needs.

But first we must understand the problem.

President Trump, complete with a considerable entourage, visits President Xi in Beijing and received with great pomp and ceremony at the Great Hall of the People.

This is not a negotiation, this is a joint venture, that may get President Xi out of his domestic troubles, and set the world on a new trajectory.

This video is a polemic on behalf of the sidelined democratic principles of the western countries' populations.

Of course it's not clear-cut - the world is a messy place with a messy history, but maybe everyone could agree that if we insist on settling old scores from hundreds, perhaps thousands of years ago, we will never be done attempting it. A line will have to be drawn wherever it may be practical.

In recent history England (from at least Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo) has been influenced / governed by the Rothschilds' Ashkenazi banking fraternity (along with the rest of Europe, and America since the Federal Reserve was established). Likewise their erstwhile colonies.

Now these western nations are overrun with immigrants despite all political party promises to deal with the problem, promises that have been promptly discarded in practice as soon as the elections were done. These nations very obviously are not shining examples of how democracies are

Nor me Janet, nor me.

The whole thing has been unbelievable from the beginning, so what are a few more unbelievable twists and turns to be unveiled to us in the coming months and years, now that we are in the mood?

The plentiful clues indicate that we are still in the foothills of this expedition, and every hill surmounted will (in the best cycling tradition!) reveal the next range of mountains to be scaled... we will need to think big, even ever bigger, than has been our wont, and many have shown themselves reluctant to do that.

Will it ever end? Who is to say?

Onward, ever onward.

Perhaps we have come far, but perhaps to keep us moving onward, the next stages often need to be obscured - sufficient unto the day is the revelation of what is to come (to adapt a Biblical aphorism for present purposes). Too much too soon would be off-putting and counter-productive.
