Anyone might be forgiven for thinking that we have lost the plot on what is going on in Ukraine and Israel - but maybe it isn't us that lost the plot...

Professor Mearsheimer reviews Israel-Iran and Russia-Ukraine vis à vis US policy, with Judge Napolitano, and they too are having trouble deciphering all the mixed messaging.

Today's financial options are more profuse and confusing than ever.

So how to navigate these treacherous waters to best effect?

We don't know, but Bill Bonner has been observing financial markets for his living for seemingly for ever.

He doesn't know either.

But he does draw some entertainment, along with pithy observations, from casting his beady eye over the current state of financial affairs, so we are sure to learn something useful.

"... "almost all the current initiatives of the US government are anti-real growth"

As always, never invest in what you don't understand, and "this is not financial advice".

There have been a number of court cases over the Covid19 interventions, none of which seem to have been satisfactorily concluded.

So here's another one, currently wending its way through the Dutch legal system in Leeuwarden, Netherlands.

The rank of stellar witnesses listed caught my eye.

In recent years the word "hate" has adopted a distinct legal persona - the persona of a false excuse useful for suppressing views and experiences that are legal and lawful, but which specific sections of society (which somehow have the willing ear of government) deem should be suppressed none the less.

This has led to the nonsensical situation that anybody who inadvertently "causes offence" to somebody else totally outside of his control (or even his knowledge) must be dealt with, regardless of the fact that offence may be taken, even when not actually offered. So a perfectly innocent remark may be adjudged offensive regardless of intent.

This places the "offender" in the hitherto unconscionable position of being considered guilty unless proven innocent.

The modern world seems to revolve around psy-ops of all kinds - so do we think that psychiatry is any different?

"... a decade of psychiatric treatment—beginning at age 13—highlighting... a system that medicalizes distress, pathologizes adolescence, and discourages critical inquiry"

"What began as therapy sessions soon escalated into psychiatric evaluations, a cascade of diagnoses, and countless prescriptions of psychiatric drugs"

Maybe it's worse...

We in the UK are not alone in facing a government that plainly doesn't work for us.

It's an Anglosphere problem at heart, but it affects a number of countries (such as former colonies, including the EU!) that although nominally independent, turn out to mysteriously suffer from the very same issues.

Sascha A. Roßmüller elucidates.

Is the UK at the heart of this darkness?

Our National Health Service (or "National treasure" for those who have been asleep for the last 77 years) is the pride and joy of government in this country - medical treatment free at the point of use for all who need it!

What's not to like?

Well, where should I begin?

It's paid for by taxing us. And as the benefit is assumed to be so enormous, taxes to support it are correspondingly enormous. And being taxes, we don't get to choose whether we want to pay.

And being the offspring of Big Government and Big Pharma, whilst the costs are socialised the profits are privatised.

It's not as if we can choose our preferred path back to health - only drugs (ie: poisons) offered by Big Pharma can be approved for sale on the NHS, if you want anything else it's verboten. The magic word here is "protocol". Doctors are no longer educated in healthy living and natural medicine,

No, not carbon dioxide, population growth.

Fertility rates are suddenly declining across Europe (and no doubt elsewhere) but surprisingly, the only thing that authorities seem able to agree on is that it has nothing to do with the quaxxines.

Odd that.

Especially since there does seem to be correlation between jabs and infertility. We all know that "correlation is not causation" - but hold on - it might be, it's just that correlation alone is insufficient to determine causation - it certainly doesn't rule it out!

Eugippius reminds us that one of primary benefits of the EU is that the unelected Commission gets to impose its will on member states.

And one of its wills is the energy transition, which will on no account be delayed.

And if that means the lights going out, then so be it. After all, minor inconveniences such as darkness and cold are obviously acceptable in order to "save the planet".

It's tempting to have a misguided chuckle at their expense, since we voted ourselves out of the EU almost 20 years ago. However, it turns out that we have the equivalent of the EU Commission in our own UK Parliament, now "independent" and, in likely denial of the electorate's wishes (they didn't ask us), hell-bent on supporting Ed Millibrain's dash for our very own legally mandated Net Zero by 2030.

(BTW: it being legally mandated, will our Ed be the one sent to prison when the much heralded and dubiously promised Net Zero

Yes, it's yet another geopolitical discussion, yet it lands pretty close to home for a British audience.

How to make sense of a world in which nothing is as it seems and unexpected twists continue unabated?

Yes, I'm impressed by Alex Krainer's understanding and analysis. But is he right? Or even rightish?

If you have been following this site for a little while you may have noticed that we don't confine ourselves to any particular theme or subject-matter - our purpose (however well or badly achieved) is simply to challenge our readers to 'think outside the box".

Basically I roam wherever my fancy takes me, or wherever the tram-lines of mainstream media need to be challenged. I try not to present conclusions - reaching conclusions, possibly even just recognising possible conclusions, is your task.

Conjuring with concepts is a favoured ploy - can we align outwardly different concepts alongside each other to identify previously unrecognised linkage? 

With what new insights might we terrify ourselves?!

Perhaps unexpectedly, AI can be a engine which does precisely that. But can AI, that robustly logical machine, really conjure unexpected insights from its 100% logical workings?

Apparently the world is becoming less susceptible to the narratives of fear that once kept us all docile and obedient. So we need an Event X mega-event that will send us all scuttling back into our box.

Personally I was looking forward to the "fake alien invasion" that we were promised, but it seems that other plans may be afoot - we will just have to wait and see (although the flooding in Texas that cost so many lives in recent days may have set the tone).

On the basis that at some point in the future we may all "go down with a bug", we are obviously all "pre-sick" and thus potential targets for medical intervention.

And the obvious intervention is the Vaccine - something that is claimed to ward off the incoming peril and prevent its manifestation (at least until it is shown to do no such thing - oh wait - they changed the definition... ).

This is highly convenient for the purveyors of vaccines, because

(a) the market is now immeasurably larger than previously as it includes potentially the whole healthy population, rather than merely the small minority that are actually sick

(b) nobody can challenge their claims unless they take the vaccine and then go down with the
