Rich Does 9/11, with John Hamer (author of "The Falsification of History")

Lest we forget.

And not least, lest we didn't understand the first time around...

If you thought that the past looked difficult, the future doesn't look promising either.

Nick Griffin introduces us to the simple mathematics that tells us the shape of the incoming problem.

It isn't pretty.

And the options are all unfamiliar, so will be extremely taxing to those who dislike unfamiliarity. Which is most of us, as it's familiarity that makes life efficient. The more change we have to cope with, the less efficient society becomes.

It's a double-whammy.

And "they" want to start a war with Russia on top?

And it's not a message from a Chinese source, but from well-respected financial analyst Alex Krainer.

Yes I'm sure that there are faults with the Chinese system of central dictatorship, but one has to recognise that coherent planning of national infrastructure such as railways and national transportation can be neither supervised nor financed at a local level.

So have the Chinese proved that Central Planning can be done with the overall interests of the population at large in mind? 

And can they maintain that emphasis into the future when infrastructure needs maintenance, modernising, even wholesale replacement, without the creation of massive piles of junk hardware that nobody wants and has nowhere to go? Or will they like Amtrack end up with obsolete dysfunctional and unreliable infrastructure that they just keep running because it's there?

Or will the "great reset" and "awakening" of humanity remove the

Once again Promethean Action looks at the world through a financial lens, and notes that progress toward peace is looking promising. At least between the US and Russia.

Although the inhabitants of Port Stanley may not be too pleased... nor the unelected rulers of the EU who are finding their war with Russia undermined at every turn.

The English are slow to rouse, but maybe we are starting to find out what we are now going to do, having been roused.

Certainly balaclavas are very un-English. We don't mask up as a rule in order to protest, but it does need to be noted that in the age of universal surveillance with cameras on every street corner, every mile of highway, and CCTV scanning every supermarket (although nobody ever "gets their collar felt" for pilfering, so  work that one out), maybe protesters understandably now feel a need to respond appropriately.

"CJ Strachan" writing at length in the Daily Sceptic reviews the background history that has led us to this pass, and makes a goodly fist of spelling out the real crux of the problem - we have voted for immigration controls over many years, politicians have promised to reduce immigration over many

As we all attempt to reorient ourselves after the summer holiday season, the kids go back to their indoctrination campus, and life resumes its normal rhythms, Ben has struck a day early this week with his summary of where we are in the war for the world.

This requires some close concentration - for over an hour.

Yes it's Brendon O'Connell again talking us through his analyses of where the world is heading and who the (many!) hidden hands may be.

So make yourself comfy, wet towel to hand, steel yourself and plough in.

There's a lot of detail here so pay attention. Adults only...

(The video doesn't run for me but the sound is what matters, and don't neglect the text...)

Sometimes it takes an outsider looking in to notice what actually went on.

In this case its an Aussie who identifies the European connection to the usurpation of the American revolution by the European powers.

And all prompted by a syllable "misspoken" by the Donald.

Yes, defence completely depends on the necessary financial arrangements.

For those of us who have lost track of a plausible narrative concerning the region centred around Israel, Alex is one of the most informed analysts - if we want to understand the geopolitics, ask someone who understands the finances.

New pastures may beckon for Sir Keir.

After all, with Russia obstinately refusing to knuckle under to plucky Ukraine (now reportedly conscripting women to swell their ever-shrinking front lines), perhaps the time is right for new leadership in NATO. And who better to take up the reins than legal eagle Sir Keir?

That should sort them out.

Still, where will they find another Labour "big beast" to plug the hole in Holborn and St Pancras constituency? After all, the biggest beast they could lay hands on last time was Andy Burnham (who?). But wait, what's his name again? Millibrain? No, that doesn't sound quite right...

Well whatever his name is, he too may well be looking for pastures new, as the

Ben's report this week illustrates how hard it is these days to tease out from the fog of misinformation what may actually be going on "on the ground" and "on/under the sea".

Frankly, I doubt most of the pundits know. I doubt if Ben knows, despite his multiple contacts, since they will each of them tell him what they want us to believe and AI can fake almost anything.The comments beneath this week's report are instructive... 

About the only thing I'm reasonably sure about is that the Zelenskyy regime is hanging on by its fingernails and that the EU will be falling apart sooner rather than later.

What we do know is that Trump is the most extraordinary fellow to occupy the presidency, certainly in living memory and probably much longer.Norms and conventions are regularly flouted and contradictions (and probably false flags) abound, leaving us all in a state of confusion - but that he is managing to reshape the world

Rake's progress?

Rich Does Politics interviews "Burning Bright" who reminds us of events from the fall of the Soviet Union, through the conflicts in Ukraine where the game is still being played out.

I don't believe that these are protests against Islam specifically (although I'm sure there are plenty of miscreants who would like to so categorise these matters).

But they are certainly against what passes for our government for letting in - nay, welcoming - illegal immigrants of all descriptions and none (but strangely mostly young men) apparently indiscriminately.

One has to ask why we bother with immigration laws at all when we apparently fund the French to shepherd boatloads of illegal migrants across the channel. Of course we are told that we are funding them to stop the flow...  but the flow keeps on coming, so that's obviously untrue.

It has reached such heights of absurdity that something has got to give - our task is to make sure that it's our government that gives, rather than the peace.

Easy to say, harder to do.

The UK governments of all stripes have been supporting (some might say stoking) the war in Ukraine for many years. Boris even went to the Ukraine, apparently to scupper the early peace talks  with Russia.

Moscow is "hinting" that Russia is about to call their bluff.

"Zakharova urged "all residents of the United Kingdom to think about the inevitable, catastrophic consequences of the hostile steps taken by their own authorities"

Should we be worried?

Are the Storm Shadow chickens about to come home to roost?

The only mystery is why Russia has been so restrained in its response to the UK's seemingly never-ending supply of missiles to Ukraine for launching at Russia.

We have noted the UK's determination to provoke Russia previously. Scott Ritter even publicly described Zelenskyy as a British agent! And who can forget the abrupt termination of seemingly productive Ukraine-Russia negotiations immediately following Boris Johnson's visit to Kiev?

Will our leaders now get the message that they are playing with fire? Or do they want war with Russia, no doubt on the pretext that they have made an unprovoked attack on our entirely peaceable UK munitions factories...

Or might the Kremlin decide that the real enemy is deeply entrenched in London,

Brendon O'Connell is nothing if not fiercely independent.

I don't think he agrees with anybody, but he isn't following anybody else's line. So he brings something independent along with him (as far as anybody can tell these days anyway) so he is worth listening to, if you can follow his eclectic mix of AI produced video and his habit of hopping from one argument to another without much of a warning.

Still, he's good training for the independent viewer, with a style very different form almost everyone else. 

Make of him what you will.

David Starkey, genuine National Treasure (being one of the very few still breathing who understands the British Constitution and how we got here) holds forth at the Institute of Economic Affairs (no it's not something out of "Yes Minister") on where it all went wrong.

Plenty of food for thought here, including the clear (but unstated) idea that words are indeed spells. Well, if they act like spells, then they are indistinguishable from spells, especially when they come freighted with an assumed meaning that actually isn't appropriate to the particular usage...

Maybe we should insist that all politicians should wear a conical hat to remind us.

But judges don't get a free pass either:

"... although you pay obeysance to the idea of democracy, it's too dangerous to allow it to work without controls... instead you have this marvellous thing, 'liberal democracy', which means.... democracy that is limited by
