We are accustomed these days to believe that world wars are so last century, and that such a catastrophe could not occur any longer.

Really?

The Middle East is still a powder-keg waiting for a spark, Japan essentially went to war with America in WW2 to restore its supplies of oil (Strait of Hormuz anybody?), and either Russia or NATO are hell-bent on provoking the other in the Ukraine (one of these must be hell-bent or this idiocy would have been resolved long ago).

So will the spat between Europe (or should that be Britain?) and Russia become a fully fledged war?

Educated readers will recognise the title, lifted wholesale from Rudyard Kipling's poem "If".

It seems pertinent to Martin Geddes's latest offering - a technique for doing exactly this when major change threatens to cascade through our previously comfortable lives and overwhelm us.

The advent of "Covid" was one such event, but in my estimation, we are not yet done with such...
... so any method of coping with the uncertainty may be something to welcome.

This is Martin's suggestion.

What does the recent flurry of diplomacy in Bejing portend?

Is "Trump" still working for the Black Hats?

Is the Strait of Hormuz open or closed?

Are we inor hot summer? If today's weather is any guide, it's already started.

All I can say for sure is that every day that passes brings us a day closer to the break-through...

Hot on the heels of hosting Messrs Trump and Putin, President Xi has gone abroad himself, but only next door to see Kim in North Korea.

So was the music significant?

Attack from whom? The Trump Administration.

"... they are building their war plans, but they are leaving NATO behind... "

Alex Krainer reviews the current state of global relations, with particular interest in the Ukraine. It seems that there is still no shortage of those who will keep stirring that brew of evil.

And is the UK really to take command of northern European navies? Perhaps that's one reason why we need more admirals than we have ships...

The IPCC may have had second thoughts but the crisis in the Gulf continues.

Will 2026 become renowned for a Summer of Discontent as fuel prices rocket, a farming crisis takes hold, food shortages arise, pubs close, and the Starmer not-a-government stumbles incompetently onward regardless of anything but its own survival, even at the cost of allowing Ed Miliband to "take charge"? 

"In office but not in power" springs to mind.

If all this serves to finally wake the people to the notion that this kind of government by incompetent complexity has reached the end of its road, and needs replacing by something more simple, more direct, more honest, and even actually responsive to the basic needs of the people, then perhaps finally some good may emerge from the wreckage. 

Civil War in Ukraine? Nuclear Obliteration for Europe?

I have to say that Rich (under Mark Attwood's tutelage!) is coming up with what seems like a great deal of good sense.

Whether it is close to the truth or not is up for everybody's assessment, but for my money Trump's extremely high profile visit to Beijing doesn't much resemble humiliation...

Funny how different reporters frame the Trump visit to President Xi. 

Benjamin Fulford is having none of it.

Who is right? I don't know. But we should find out soon enough if Ben's prophesying star is in the ascendant...

It's a highly informative report that shouldn't be missed as it frames a completely different narrative, which for my money is perfectly possible, and indeed in normal times would be considered convincing. 

But these are definitely not normal times. (Modest subscription required for full access)

President Trump, complete with a considerable entourage, visits President Xi in Beijing and received with great pomp and ceremony at the Great Hall of the People.

This is not a negotiation, this is a joint venture, that may get President Xi out of his domestic troubles, and set the world on a new trajectory.

This video is a polemic on behalf of the sidelined democratic principles of the western countries' populations.

Of course it's not clear-cut - the world is a messy place with a messy history, but maybe everyone could agree that if we insist on settling old scores from hundreds, perhaps thousands of years ago, we will never be done attempting it. A line will have to be drawn wherever it may be practical.

In recent history England (from at least Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo) has been influenced / governed by the Rothschilds' Ashkenazi banking fraternity (along with the rest of Europe, and America since the Federal Reserve was established). Likewise their erstwhile colonies.

Now these western nations are overrun with immigrants despite all political party promises to deal with the problem, promises that have been promptly discarded in practice as soon as the elections were done. These nations very obviously are not shining examples of how democracies are

In the wake of the recent elections, the political map of the UK is in flux.

Likewise in the wake of world developments, the economic landscape in the UK is also shifting. 

But politics and economics are inseparable parts of the same whole, so predictions are tricky (especially about the future).

For those who recognise that "business as usual" isn't going to return any time soon, opportunities exist to make appropriate changes in their circumstances to better position themselves and their families for what may be coming, but with uncertainty rampant that's more difficult than it's been for many a year, and whilst knowledgeable people on the internet do their best to keep us informed, there are too many to follow and they produce too much to keep up with.

(For my part I'd quite like to return to the days when we only had a "pandemic" to keep us busy!)

Still, we

Ben's report this week centres on the effort to remove the "fake Trump" from the leadership of the United States.

Actual progress seems elusive still, so much of this amounts to little more than informed speculation.

As always, much is still shrouded from view but the fact that it is being openly and probably widely talked about may be encouraging.

As another war simmers in the Middle East (or "West Asia" as some who would modify our thinking now refer to it), and the Ukraine conflict drags on pointlessly, interminably, May 8th and 9th slipped by in the West with scarcely a mention.

And maybe that's not surprising, as Trump commands many headlines, not all of which are apparently on convergent themes. So maybe we have the wrong themes, or Trump is out of control (or both?).

"When the people would truly know what is going on, it will be the end of the cabal / deep state. Therefor we can still expect the media to disinform us, distract us"

Well, as usual, we have to assume that nothing may be as it seems.

But what is it then?

"The U.S. dominated the 20^th century because of its robust economy and manufacturing capability"

"That capacity is gone"

Now, whither did it go?

And where does that leave us?

Firstly, apologies for the late posting this week - my browser refused to connect on Monday citing dangerous conditions. These appear now to have been corrected.

The news this week (according to Ben) is perhaps best summed up by the Q posts' assertion "the hunters have become the hunted". It's all to play for as nations globally turn against the military and economic might that previously dominated until Iran, global geopolitics, and blockaded oil supply chains brought it low.

Yes, we do indeed live in "interesting times"...

(If you don't like this narrative, there are others!)

Keep calm and carry on.
