So you think you know your Trump?

Are you sure? 

You may not be so certain after watching this...

This is a very hard-headed video that will almost certainly challenge anybody's understanding of world events of the past century or so. If you are not prepared for such a challenge, feel free to skip this one.

Bear in mind that many now believe that "everything we were told is a lie". You may or may not accept such a concept, but if you believe in the accepted version of history, the ending sequence of this video may not be for you.

For myself, I am prepared to accept any proposition that is supported by evidence and logic - this attitude does not preclude changing my mind about history, but does mean that I file away a great deal in the "too difficult to know" box, for possible re-evaluation should more information come to light.

The recent multiple false flag attacks get some analysis, Congress is supposed to ratify the Trump presidency today 6th Jan (but will there be Congressmen available to do this?), the fog of war has literally descended across the US and elsewhere (fog in winter? Who'd a thought it?), and China is up to no good (just for a change).

Yes, apparently things are happening, but to what ends remains as impenetrable as ever.

Have matters reached peak pandemonium yet?

With Trump due to be inaugurated on 20th inst, those who would provoke WW3 are apparently working overtime to trap Trump into war with Iran, China, Russia, well, anybody really...

"The popping of this everything bubble will be written about in history books, like the South Sea Bubble, Tulip Mania Bubble, The Mississippi Bubble, 1920s Stock Market Bubble, and Dotcom Bubble" - only quite possibly worse...

"While the controllers continue to pump the stock and crypto markets, luring more suckers in at all-time highs, in the real-world average Americans are in deep trouble, as the fake pandemic savings have evaporated and trying to sustain themselves, amidst Biden’s 20% to 40% inflation, on credit cards has run its course, with default rates now at fourteen-year highs

Elon Musk - Truth Warrior or Misguided Nerd?

And why would German readers care to be protected from his opinions?

Well, I guess they wouldn't - like most they would be quite capable of ignoring opinions with which they disagree - but it seems that there are those who would protect the normal German reader from Elon's opinions, particularly if these would-be protectors also happen to be in power office, or closely aligned with those in office, and may feel threatened by the AfD.

Perhaps it's a measure of how shaky they believe their tenures in office to be... but in a democratic society, those voted out would of course be happy to be so discarded provided it was done democratically, would they not?

Which raises an

What difference will the indicated appointments of Elon and Vivek to the new shiny Department of Government Efficiency (now there's a oxymoron for you!) make to America, and by extension, to the world?

In short, will the DOGE be any more effective than the infamous Department of Administrative Affairs of "Yes Minister" fame? 

The inimitable, highly experienced, but just possibly terminally jaundiced-of-outlook Bill Bonner sets out his reasoning.

But as is always the case, we must critically examine the core assumptions (often also unstated) upon which his reasoning is based. It's always the lazy assumptions that catch us out when

We should be so lucky!

These days there are so many versions of the truth available from a multiplicity of sources that it's become an adventure to merely establish what we think might be the truth of only one of the many stories that are daily offered to us.

At least in times bygone, most of the few media outlets tended to offer much the same story (albeit with left/right leanings as befitted the particular outlet) so we felt that if a number of independent sources told much the same story. then it was likely substantially correct. 

In fact, it now seems that far from being independent, they all got their headline stories from the Deep State's Ministry of Truth, and the conjecture is that this may have been going on ever since Zionism became an international thing; valid or not, the mainstream compulsion to support Israel's version of events in Gaza and elsewhere does little to dispel the idea.

Dominic Cummins, "enfant terrible" of the Boris government, explains the workings by which the UK government is run.

What does this tell us about the current "government"?

Does it amount to institutionalised fraud, protected by plausible deniability?

Or worse?

Covid is the topic that divides the world.

Actually, the world divides itself into two camps - those who don't want to know regardless of the arguments, and those who are prepared to think the unthinkable, or perhaps merely just to look at it to check how unthinkable the unthinkable may actually be. I'm sure that there cannot be a single person alive who doesn't know people close to them in both camps.

It's not a race thing, it's not a left/right thing, it's not a religious thing, but it is possibly a maturity thing in so far as a child when faced with an unfamiliar intrusion (such as a less than familiar Nana and Grandad arriving on a too infrequent visit!) will cling to the familiar comfort of Mum or Dad to save them from the unfamiliar threat, whilst an adult would face the intrusion, try to understand it, and decide accordingly how to react.

The adult is responsible, the child is still neither responsible nor competent.

Turkey (no, not the Christmas dinner fowl) is much in focus this week as President Erdoğan is reported to be seen as "encircling" Israel...   so it's the battle of the Zionists against the Islamists that's taking shape. Not that the "Christian" religions are faring any better - it seems that bankruptcies hold no religious preferences.

So how will Turkey fare in taking advantage of current Middle-Eastern geopolitics to rekindle some of the old Ottoman Empire?

"Mistake" is an ambiguous word. On the one hand it can reflect a happenstance where the effect is unwanted but was not intended, on the other hand it may indicate that the action was intended but that the result was unwanted. Unhappily, some events such as "yes I thought that hitting the cricket ball out of the field was a good idea, but I hadn't reckoned with it smashing a window or hitting a passer-by on the head" might be considered a "mistake" on both counts.

However, deliberately throwing the cricket ball out of the ground at the head of a passer-by would not normally be regarded as a mistake, as the result would be clearly intended.

So we could recognise an intermediate state where hitting the ball out of the ground may avoid damage to windows and heads most of the time, but not all the time, so may be considered deliberately reckless, and thus culpable.

So we may transpose the argument to a different situation, and ask whether recommending a novel

With governments around the world in crisis, how will the clashes between countries / power blocks evolve?

The aspects to this are economic, and political/military. Now that money-printing nears exhaustion, what will transpire?

Will governments go to war to impose a command economy, feeding the war in place of the aspirations of their people? How that would turn out is best not tested, but may be inevitable.

The Middle East is pivotal, and showing no signs of settling down.

Ukraine / Syria centre stage, and President Putin setting out his analysis.

There's much power-play going on behind closed doors, largely unknowable. The only thing obvious is that there is no going back to the status quo ante.

And what exactly is "Greater Turkey"?

Argentina has had a chequered financial and political history.

"By 1900, Argentina’s economy was bigger than the rest of Latin America put together, and about the size of all of Western Europe put together. There seemed to be nowhere to go but up"

But, then the politicians did what politicians do.

"For much of the 20th century, Argentina slipped into severe economic decline and remained so for decades"

But President Milei has put a stop to the decline:

"Milei has abolished entire government departments, fired ministers and drastically reduced the size and scope of government"

"This year, Milei announced that Argentina had just run a budget surplus – its FIRST surplus since the golden years of the early 1900s

It's difficult to know what to make of this article, but it's sufficiently different to give it some space.

There's no doubt in my mind that the world is showing up as being much the worse for wear than hitherto, but whether that is simply because the fault-lines are becoming much more visible, or because things really are much worse than they used to be, may be debatable.

See what you think.
