Mark Sleboda reads the runes.

Essentially, it's more of the same - Russia is in the ascendant, Ukraine needs a rescue that doesn't seem to be in the offing. The end is still apparently inevitable.

When will Ukraine's much vaunted "coalition of the willing" come to admit that it is in practice the coalition of the unsafe and ineffective?

Whilst a whiff of corruption may not bother an unelected dictator, it may be cause for concern to those in the "coalition of the willing" who really couldn't be seen to be backing fraudsters.

It is true that so far, the trail doesn't seem to have reached the lofty heights of the presidency, only so far fingering a minister and an erstwhile "business partner", so Zelensky is entitled to be considered innocent until proven guilty - much like those reportedly press-ganged off the streets and into his army. 

The suspicious may think that this will not be the last of it, but we haven't heard of any additional connections so far.

OK, I'll keep this short.

We are now many years into the age of climate catastrophes foretold by the sages of yesteryear, yet I'm still wracking my memory hole to find a single prediction that accurately (even sort of) predicted something that then did indeed happen.

Other than COPnn boondoggles of course.

Polar bears are still gambolling in waters too cold to contemplate, New York is still above water (is their latest electoral triumph a wheeze to try to submerge it after all?), and renewables still can't compete with fossil fuels and government-contrived green "support" schemes.

Most such failures can be overlooked but that last one threatens not only our winter comforts but also our nation's prosperity, so we (and the government) overlook it at our peril.

Shrödinger's Cat is infamous in scientific circles for being shut in a box.

According to quantum theory, the cat is in an indeterminate state, neither alive nor dead, until the box is opened - at that point of being observed, the state of the cat crystallizes into one of it's two possible states: alive or dead - until then by "quantum superposition" it may be considered both (potentially) alive and (potentially) dead.

Here Alex Krainer reviews the intentions of President Trump which appear on multiple fronts to be subject to the same rules - until he visibly enacts a policy, that policy may be one thing or may be something else - nobody can be sure until he takes it out of the box...

Totally erratic, or deliberately unclear? Certainly radically novel and rather unsettling when applied

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.

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...

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 ..?

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.

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.

With ever more "migrants" arriving on small boats and (eventually) claiming asylum, whilst many more foreigners come in perfectly legally to work in our economy, all under very obvious but implausibly deniable Government policy, are we, the native English / Scots / Welsh / Irish, doomed to be overrun, and will England Wales Scotland and Ireland become for ever unrecognisable?

Perhaps unexpectedly, the Irish, who may have thought (eventually) that the EU offered a way out from under the British Crown, now find themselves alongside the British populations in facing the common "migrant" issue ("despite Brexit!"). No real surprise, since many believe that behind the scenes it was almost certainly the British "establishment" that wanted the EU as a means to control Europe (including the UK), through a supranational body with all the trappings of a parliamentary democracy but none of the accountability.
