Have we now reached Peak Confusion?

That state where nobody knows what to believe any more and some are even beginning to believe that "the Truth" is a flexible concept - something that is unique to each of us, that we each project into our "Common Shared Reality" and somehow it all merges into a "Common Shared Truth" that is therefore not fixed until it has happened.

Mystics say that the Universe somehow reflects back our thoughts upon us and that our reality is a shared construct that reflects the sum of all our thoughts and fears...  that indeed we can manipulate our reality, since it is in effect merely a simulation presented to us and we can influence incoming events through our focused intent and beliefs.

Be all that as it may, Ben's report this week strays well beyond our previous hum-drum.

Ian Proud, interviewed by Glenn Diesen, brings up the so far unmentionable topic of the EU's relationship with the Big Bogeyman to the East - yet peace in Ukraine must in the end be dependent upon the West's willingness to make a peaceful accommodation with Russia. So far they have only demonised Russia.

But at least (and at last!) somebody is talking seriously about it. 

The prize for mending fences with Russia (Russian gas powering European manufacturing as it used to, and economic revival) would be immense.

Chinese New Year is upon us, and it begins with a bit of word-play at President Xi's expense.

The demand is for "Habeas Corpus" - where is General Zhang Youxia, and who holds him?

William Blake was writing about England, but I have no doubt that the same description could well in times past have been applied to that place now known as Greenland - after all, the clue is in the name, and I suspect that the Danes of yore wouldn't have settled there if it was then buried under the plentiful ice that now resides thereon. Global warmists take note.

Whilst it may not be entirely clear why the Donald is so keen to gain a (preferably total) measure of control over it, he has made that objective pretty clear.

A thoughtful piece by Eugyppius reviews the state of US-European relations within some historical context, andhappily he has published this outside his paywall so that we can all benefit from his observations.

Is the Chinese leadership still in dispute?

Perhaps we westerners are too focused on what is visible and known rather than what is not directly evidenced - but absence of evidence is also evidence...

Our go-to commentator on matters geopolitical, Alex Krainer, updates us on what is (and isn't) happening between Trump and the Iranian government.

"... both the Trump administration and the media are running psychological operations... they deliberately don't want us to understand... "

Quite so. There you have it.

Tell us something we didn't know.

Ben covers a lot of ground here - including a section with a new slant on the Chinese leadership infighting - but it all amounts to global leadership chaos because nobody can pretend either authenticity or integrity any more - not even the Donald, regardless of whichever version is on stage today..

Whether we agree with Ben's understandings of individual situations is almost beside the point - whatever the reasons, they are not fit for purpose. And the full extent of the Epstein revelations hasn't yet percolated through to most of the populations...

Keep calm and carry on. (Modest subscription required for full access)

More on the unfolding fall-out from Xi Jinping's move against Zhang Youxia.

It's not a pretty situation.

Is another "cultural revolution" incoming? Or will the PLA move first?

One thing is certain, it's a long way from being over.

It seems that the situation in China is still febrile. More deaths by "suicide" don't look good.

Without hard news, Lei makes the best of analysing the rumours and counter-rumours.

And confirmation that Sir Keir really did go to meet Xi in China.

And we think that our government is bad?

It is pretty clear by now that the Donald is busy reshaping the world to his liking.

It's still a work in progress but his direction of travel is becoming more obvious:

• Defeat the globalists of the UN WEF big corporate (and most of all big pharma)
• Unite the Americas under a "north American" (to be determined) leadership
• Establish peaceful relations with the rest of the world (possibly a Russian Europe and a Chinese Asia, boundaries to be determined).
• Once the globalist elements in charge of the UK have been evicted, we can probably have some level of choice about where we want to sit.

ZeroHedge reports on Trumps latest moves to pressure Iran - to "make the deal" "they know what we want". The news is full of reports that airlines are cancelling flights to the area and a carrier battlegroup is en route to ensure compliance.

But what does Trump actually want? He has already "obliterated" the Iranian nuclear enrichment programme, so it can't be that. And there seems a good chance that a single Iranian missile strike might be enough to deal with an aircraft carrier...   and allegedly they have plenty of missiles left.

So is this posturing for real or is something else afoot?

For a president who was elected to stop wars, is he intent on becoming unelectable?

Or is the whole shenanigan just a huge distraction to keep us looking away from what is
