One cannot help but notice how the war with Iran may be used to advance Klaus Schwab's vision of the future - as controlled by the oligarchical elites of the WEF and their super-intelligent experts (human or AI-combohuman or all AI?).

Fertiliser shortages > food shortages > rationing
Fuel shortages > transport / electricity / water / petrol&diesel shortages > rationing
Government AI > bureaucracy by computer says no > arbitrary restrictions > curtailment/elimination of freedoms

The underlying AI systems will be impenetrable at point of refusal and challengeable in theory only, so whether they will function "as advertised" will be irrelevant for practical purposes.

It will be the extreme case of Martin Geddes' analysis- that politics is the reduction of complexity to the limits of a finite adjudication

We had an instance back in 2019/2020 where a cruise ship had a number sick passengers (and if memory serves a few deaths) from the "Coronavirus".

Not sure how the virus made it from Wuhan to the cruise ship but then if the medical world is to be believed these pesky viruses (or should that more properly be virii?) get everywhere in no time flat.

Now in 2026 we have a reported instance of a rat virus on a cruise ship which one may suppose similarly threatens the world, rather in the same way as the earlier SARS scares, Monkeypox and whatever else never took off in the public imagination. 

Is it too early for a vaccine?

Mark Playne has been crunching the AI to reveal what the ghost in the machines makes of it all.

Does it reveal a cosmic truth?

We are used to thinking of evil as being caused by evil people.

But perhaps once institutionalised, evil can become the default modus operandi of an institution wherein the only necessary condition for its continuation is cooperation from good people within the institution who simply go with the flow without caring (or daring) to challenge it.

It can become proceduralised.

Examples include good people within the Health Service who broke the Nuremberg Codes (which mandate "informed consent") simply by obeying the instructions of their superiors.

They accepted the "Safe and Effective" mantra without question, even where (a) it is common knowledge that all vaccines have unsafe "side effects" and (b) no safety information about these effects was available to them for the Covid inoculations, which were widely known to be based on "novel technology" developed "at warp speed" (what could possibly go

Patrick Wood pulls it together to explain how the world is being reshaped by the global corporations (with assistance from their tame bribed and blackmailed fake-democratic governments).

The trade and distribution of global energy (oil and gas), upon which all successful economies currently depend, is being reshaped, taken out of the hands of the existing global banking cartels, which will be sidelined by an "independent" crypto-blockchain solution. So effectively we may expect that whoever controls the latter will be the new Gods of the Earth. Sounds like the big crypto-industrial complex to me...

See if you agree.

This pertinent video from Simon Dixon explains who may (or may not) benefit...

It's not quite as Patrick Wood sets it out, but the wrestling between central banks and

Before we begin, I offer the standard "Down the Rabbit Hole" introductory advice for those unfamiliar:

I strongly suggest that those new to my site should review the earlier Down the Rabbit Hole series, starting with 1 2 3 and 4. 

That said, let's dive in.

There is a growing body of people who suspect or believe that the current geopolitical and national

Now I'm not here to provide free advertising either for authors or for other commercial outfits no matter how good their products...  but I am here to spread the word about modern "conspiracy theories", and everybody should have the opportunity to read Mark's extraordinary books.

So I'm deliberately breaking my own rule here by featuring his latest substack, precisely because I haven't seen any comparable content from other authors (that doesn't mean such doesn't exist, it just means that I have not seen it).

So for those specifically who are new to Mark Playne or who have not read all his books, plough on in!

Yes, there's somehow never any shortage of globalist groups who want to tell us all how it's going to be. It's a bit like whack-a-mole - you stomp on one and another pops up with more of the same BS. It's never-ending.

Still, this one features our expansive central banker Augustin Carstens to fill our screens for a minute to explain CBDCs... again.

You know you can't wait...

There are some YT channels that I view with trepidation - they look good but their (apparent or suspected) use of AI techniques cannot help but cast doubt on the validity of their information.

This is one such - but the basic event reported does seem to be corroborated - and the knock-on might be significant.

However, the idea that a Russian strike on Israel would constitute a NATO Article 5 trigger that would obligate NATO into a war with Russia seems far-fetched - neither Israel nor Iran is a NATO member, so unless a Russian action would target US forces directly, this would seem to be plainly wrong. Even if US or NATO forces were somehow involved within Israel:

Well, these days there's only so much you can make an image do and still appear convincing. Even in these times of seemingly unlimited AI, it's still possible to discern contradictions and subtle 'tells' that indicate that the image may not be as it appears. The "Trump" for instance is so wildly erratic that he does appear unreal to many - but there again, perhaps it's a deliberate act to keep his enemies guessing as to his true intentions. Who's to

Remember the Younger Dryas? Me neither.

But maybe in Göbekli Tepe Grok has found some people who did, because they were eye-witnesses...and they recorded what they knew so that we would know too.  Then they buried the knowledge where we might find it....

If only they had had YouTube in those days, maybe it wouldn't have taken them so long. But then we might never have found it.

Much like last week, Ben brings up up to date as  best he can in a situation where the truth is too shocking to the main protagonists to be made properly available.

Whilst there are reports in the mainstream press about the Iran war, reading between the lines is still a difficult and hugely problematic exercise - but what do we expect in wartime? We live within a vast psychological battleground where probably nothing major is as it seems.

The story of the last century (and indeed longer) has been of the ever-onward march of those who would rule the world, and who will stoop to any depths to achieve their aims.

Deceit? What's a little white lie when it advances the cause? Besides, it's necessary if we want to persuade the proletariat that they are doing the right thing for the greater good - our good.

War? No problem - bring in the profits! No need to concern ourselves with the ensuing human misery, it will be forgotten soon enough.

Democracy? Useful for keeping the unsuspecting masses in check, diverted, and too busy with their own lives to worry about ours. Besides, politics (like football) keeps them entertained, and even lets them think that they can control us by voting harder! 

Law and Justice? Essential for keeping the lid on our own illegal but very entertaining activities - we don't want just anybody with a conscience investigating

Another article on AI, another "feature" identified.

Now it is true that not all AI engines (or LLMs: Large Language Models) are necessarily the same in all regards, so one must be careful not to generalise from the particular, but this is a rather concerning particular which rather undermines one's trust in such models.

They do share the need to be trained on as wide a breadth of input as may be obtained, but that very feature mitigates against the possibility of verifying that all the training material used is "true" and "correct" - it's falrly obvious that a lot of invalid material is likely to slip through any "truth filter", if only because there is probably no reliable way to construct such a "truth filter", so commercial ambition will likely result in a "bung it all in" mentality.

If we care about the way that Justice (in its widest sense) is administered in this country, and maybe if we have an academic approach to such matters, then I guess we should.

If our academic abilities are dodgy but out approach logical, then we probably should.

If our logic is all over the place and we still have implicit faith in our authorities, then I would steer well clear.

That said, Martin Geddes has come up with an analytical approach (the "Delta-Sigma framework") to assess legalistic encounters with our authorities, that clarifies how our approach may be usefully constructed to illuminate the responses provided by authorities to our legitimate queries.

The previously unachievable (due to the huge investment of time and research required) being now achievable by anybody with a practical working knowledge of AI and the tenacity and logical mind necessary to work through the

SUDS - Sudden Unexplained Death Syndrome - explained?

Mark Playne aided by his AI draws an expected link between cocaine usage and SUDS (or SADS as 'our' NHS may prefer to label it).

Completely unexplained - at the individual level - but well explained at the aggregate level.

So why have numbers of footballers and other athletes been dropping dead in public since 2021?

"Health" infrastructure, CBDCs, "Carbon Tracking", programmable money, social credit score, "we will own nothing and be relieved of having to take responsibility for all that nasty personal property because everything will belong to the Control Central, including us and anything that we produce including our children (if we are permitted any).

In the smart city, if the door doesn't open or the food doesn't get delivered by drone, then the door doesn't open and the food doesn't get delivered.

Could it be done? How could anybody track our personal carbon usage? How could this possibly work?

It doesn't in practice matter.

Elon Musk. Who else?

A lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft that makes the Trump lawsuit against the BBC look trivial.

"In Musk’s telling, OpenAI used the nonprofit identity to get off the ground, then pivoted toward for-profit structures and a deep partnership with Microsoft that fundamentally changed who the company served"

Is the ownership of another AI product really that important? If it was launched by public funding of a proposed "non-profit" project, then how come it's now a commercial product? Does that not amount to fraud?

I suppose it may depend upon how we define the term "non-profit"... 

And we could be about to find out.

Mark Playne has been interrogating his AI (ChatGPT? He doesn't specify) again. 

This time on the basis of the US, UK and global statistics available that indicate rates of myocarditis occurrence in large (and some small but not statistically significant) populations over pre and post pandemic years.

It's a deep dive and he's clearly picking his questions with care - but how else could this be done? AI is a logical inference machine, not (yet?) a fount of critical thinking. It cannot decide the questions, only the responses.

Proof positive it is not, but it is a red flag indicating the need for further investigation. MHRA JCVI UKHSA are you listening?

Once again on the subject of AI, and what differentiates AI from humanity, Martin Geddes guides us through the intricacies of humanity's use of artificial intelligence.

This may sound arcane, but it's crucial to understand its limits and to recognise when those limits are overstepped, otherwise we risk AI becoming a control mechanism for the unsuspecting - merely another branch of the brainwashing mass media. There are plenty who would want that.

"... when conscience becomes unsayable, society loses its most important safeguard"
