Amir gives it to us straight - and it's not about peace.

I doubt you will hear this elsewhere, I have no way to verify his report, and bear in mind also that his religious biblical beliefs are his own, but they do inform his views.

All that said, here he is, straight from Bonnie Scotland!

The Save Our Rights campaign group tells it like it is.

Never mind the gas/electricity bills (distracting as they are) - take note of these Parliamentary Bills, in the pipeline.

These are in addition to other highly dubious Bills already signed into law, such as the UK - Covert Human Intelligence Sources (Criminal Conduct) Bill 2019-21.

None of them enhance our freedoms, all of them compromise them.

We are under progressive attack by "our own" government.

Where is the popular demand for these

UK foreign policy has long made very little sense if regarded dispassionately - is it there to boost the interests of the UK, or is it there to create peace and fairness in the world?

Or some other objective(s)?

Noah Carl writing in the Daily Sceptic points up the glaring inconsistencies in UK Foreign policy, which treats Russia as Big Baddy (because it's fighting in a neighbouring country) and Saudi Arabia as a Great Goody (although it has been bombing and fighting in neighbouring Yemen for years).

Indeed, our determined reluctance to even consider that a negotiated peace in the Ukraine might be advantageous and should be pursued speaks volumes.

Now, this is undoubtedly a bit simplistic, but it's also true and longstanding (Russia has always been regarded as a potential

This site has put forward the view that the war in Ukraine could have been avoided had the Minsk agreements been respected.

We have also suggested that just as the UK gave Scotland their ill-judged referendum on independence, so Russia might have been (and might still be) amenable to a peace settlement negotiated on the basis of plebiscite(s) in the Ukraine to establish the wishes of the populations in the affected regions, consistent with the internationally recognised principle of self-determination.

Rather than feeding the destruction with ever more munitions (and poisoning international relations with sanctions), we should tell Zelenskyy to negotiate.

Amir is with us again with an update from Galilee on the world as he sees it, and indeed as Ezekiel saw it before him.

Followers of Q will note that Israel is slated be dealt with last...  so perhaps the Ukraine is just the warm-up for the Middle East?

I'm thinking that the Bible has never seemed more immediately relevant.

This site (like many others) has always taken a partisan view of the war in the Ukraine.

We are not alone in this - we have been force-fed a partisan view by the mainstream media, which has trumpeted the terrible injustice of the Russian invasion since day one (whilst it totally ignored violations of the Minsk Agreement for the preceding 8 years).

It is nevertheless (reasonably) clear that the situation in the Donbas is that the population would probably vote either for independence or to join Russia - were it to be given a vote.

It appears to be a fact that there are different ethnic and political preferences in the East of the Ukraine which conflict with the those in the West.

Therefore there is a good chance that by negotiating a peace deal based upon division of the Ukraine according to the principle of self-determination, further bloodshed could be avoided and a peace based upon a strong foundation could

Following on from Ukraine - How Did We Get Here? where Prof John Mearsheimer presented his academic analysis, here is a young german reporter doing her job from the Donbass in the aftermath of commencement of the initial Russian "special operation".

For her pains she was de-Paypalled, de-YouTubed and had her bank account plundered.

Now reportedly she has been convicted of an (unspecified?) crime without any opportunity to defend herself in court, and faces years in prison should she return to Germany.

If we can't persuade Zelenskyy to make peace (and nobody seems to be even trying - quite the reverse) then perhaps we can poke the bear with enough sticks to enrage it fully?

Why else would the Kaliningrad situation have arisen?

Right on cue up pops the new head of the British Army to tell us how he is putting the military on a war footing to repel the Russians as part of the NATO combined war machine.

Why isn't Boris addressing the nation?

Would anybody listen?

Readers may know the "Fourth Reich" better as the G7.

"... we are dealing with the end of an era"

With the war in the Ukraine hopefully in its last stages, it will be interesting to see whether Zelenskyy sues for peace or whether he is replaced by somebody who will.

All in all a recommended edition of the Fulford Monday review, whether you are a subscriber to his service (when you get to read the whole thing) or not.

(And if the latter - don't worry about nuclear armageddon - just know that its off the table)

Prof John Mearsheimer tells it as he sees it in this well-researched polemic. What is the history behind the invasion of the Crimea, later of the Ukraine, and Putin's ambitions for that country?

He presents a pretty comprehensive analysis of the politics economics and military situation, but this is founded on the traditional viewpoint that the Biden administration, comfortable in its political bubble of perceived invincibility, isn't about to collapse under the combined weight of the Bidens' alleged criminal activities in the Ukraine, and the possible decertification of the Nov 2020 election result.

That assumption, although unspoken and perhaps unfounded, is critical, since without Biden in place any new administration would likely

Apparently, according to Amir, the Mossad have been busy embarrassing the Iranians...

I note his remarks on Mohammed bin Salman's relationship with president Erdoğan.

American history is littered with events large and small including political assassinations (JFK being the most notorious), Unidentified Flying Objects (or Unexplained Aerial Phenomena as we must now call them), unexplained crashed phenomena (AKA Roswell), alleged false flag events (most notoriously 9/11), and much else that defies agreed explanation. 

That's a pretty broad spectrum of alleged phenomena, linked only by the inability of the various concerned parties to agree on their true nature.

This video doesn't solve all the problems but it does present a reasoned and logical exploration that may help us all to think about the bigger picture.

Summer Solstice Update from Israel

As we on this site have suggested previously, Russia would be within its rights of self defence to target the UK in order to prevent us sending arms to Ukraine that could be used to hit targets within Russia.

Now "Russia is making threats to strike because NATO it is supplying rockets to Ukraine that can hit Russia"

"Why is the MSM underreporting this huge turn of events?" 

We were warned in April.

More from USA Watchdog (including some off-topic suggestions on Pfizer's manoeuvrings to wriggle out of its legal liabilities).

Yes Russia did invade the Ukraine (long and complex history) and it

Substack is the place nowadays for unconventional thinking, so what to make of the war in the Ukraine?

Why hasn't Putin won yet?

Will the plucky Ukrainian army push the Russians back into oblivion?

Why is nobody making any progress?

John's Newsletter puts forward another perspective, which given the West's propensity for shooting itself in the foot might just be on target.

At a time when Russia and NATO are eyeball to eyeball (or not, according to who you believe) in the Ukraine and various countries are denying that they want to join NATO (or being denied by Turkey), the game to sidestep this little hurdle is join by the EU backdoor.

How so?

The EU troops are mostly the same as the NATO troops - they merely deploy under different badges and (at least notionally) under a different command structure. 

So if you can't join NATO, join the EU.

Oh wait - Denmark is already a NATO member... so there must be another reason for joining the EU Security and Defence morass of complexity?

I have to say it's hard to think of one, unless they fear (probably rightly) that being outside the EU structures means that

Well, since you ask, the Israel - Iran enmity looks like a good candidate.

Not that I'm feeling that we don't yet have enough problems, but maybe forewarned is forearmed.

I don't know this guy but he strikes me as genuine. Judging form his videos he's actually a bit of a Bible-bashing Israeli Christian, but he keeps his fingers on the political pulse as he lives in Israel, so he's a lot closer to the goings-on in that region than we are and he would be directly affected by events there.

Probably worth taking note.

For a change it's the NHS (or UKHSA as we must now call it) and the Covid aftermath that takes pole position, with a very pertinent discussion on how the excess deaths of the second half of 2021 identified by a US life insurance company is being portrayed by the usual suspects. Yet the NHS still appears to be locked in terminal decline even though Covid deaths have declined and we were originally locked down to "save the NHS".

Once again the evolving Ukraine situation and how that relates to UK and US foreign policy is investigated and the likely results set out - neither the Biden administration nor NATO nor Ben Walllace come out well. Russia on the other hand doesn't seem to be short of additional customers for the hydrocarbons that it used to sell to Europe. 

And so on to the Bilderberg group (inclusive of Michael Gove, David Lamy, Mark Sedwill, Tom Tugendhat, and Jeremy Fleming (GCHQ) et al from the corporate and media worlds comprising the British contingent) and their meeting that will no doubt

Is a turning point nigh?

This article in Unherd which (in my jaundiced judgement) has normally followed the "We must drive Putin out at all costs" narrative (and still suggests that the Russian armed forces have taken a beating and are nearing the limits of their operational effectiveness) is nevertheless now arguing for a negotiated settlement that would be acceptable to Putin.

"After all, the two sides have already reached agreement on the broadest issues: Zelenskyy has already stated that Ukraine will not join Nato and the Russian side has already accepted Ukraine’s entry into the European Union"

Personally I was unaware of that second assertion (and if I were Putin I would be very slow indeed to concede it) but nevertheless we have here a plea for good sense and a negotiated settlement. 

This strikes me as a

With world events moving quite fast we have to try to keep up, so i make no apology for yet again featuring a UK Column report from Wednesday.

Don't get too hung up on the start of the programme where they take a (probably deserved) pop at a BBC reporter in the Ukraine - the subsequent section where Vanessa Beeley explains the way that the world's war-mongers are shaping up is quite masterly.

It is quite clear that without propaganda, very few wars would ever have been possible.

Oh, and Tony Blair is rumoured to be receiving a Knighthood from Her Majesty at Windsor on 13th June. Be there or be square.

And more on matters medical and monkey p*x (or should that be b****x?). Is anything what it seems any more?

And will there be an ambulance available when we need one? Worth watching.
