  • The Cognitive War for Our Understandings and Beliefs

    2025-02-16

    When is an assertion a "fact"?

    What is a "fact"?

    In law a "fact" is some assertion agreed by both parties to the dispute.

    Does that mean it is true and accurate? Either way, it tells us something about the law, and perhaps also about "facts".

    Socrates is widely credited with the realisation that "the only thing I know is that I know nothing", and in this day and age when most of what we "know" is gleaned from remote others whom we do not personally "know", this assertion rings more true than ever.

    What do the "fact-checkers" know that we do not?!

    So our knowledge and beliefs as recognised by each of us are a result of our

  • Conclusion to the Fall of the Cabal - Part 2: The Military Industrial Complex

    2025-02-16

    Cyntha Koete and the late Janet Ossebard spent years documenting the Fall of the Cabal series of presentations, the Sequel series to the Fall of the Cabal, and now, the first of a new series: Conclusion to the Fall of the Cabal.

    We have followed their remarkable 38 part effort previously, an effort that culminated for Janet when she took her own life.

    We hope that you too will find their work invaluable.

    Following on from Part 1: The Pyramid of Power, this is their latest presentation:

    Conclusion to the Fall of the Cabal - Part 2: The Military Industrial Complex.

    This episode traces the history of the Cabal from Roman times, through the American War of Independence, and on to today.

  • On Your Marx ...

    2025-02-15

    Martin Geddes is trailblazing as usual.

    Here he has been educating ChatGPT with his views on Marxism - views with which I would agree.

    ChatGPT seems surprisingly eager to assimilate his information, which rather begs the question - if it's that easy to get it to modify its views, could anybody do this? Obviously, the answer is yes, but I suppose it may depend upon how illogical the modified views would turn out to be.

    After all, what Martin seems to have done is introduce an alternative assumption into the AI works - and assumptions are the basis upon which all theories rest. When we get to the stage that "events dear boy, events" quieten down a bit, I may have time/inclination to see if I can get AI to produce some spectacularly incorrect results simply by introducing an invalid assumption or two into its thinking, but until then there is a website to run...

    We are half-way through February and already the DOGE teams are posting eye-opening selections from their investigations - on X unsurprisingly enough.

    For our edification, education, enlightenment, exasperation, or merely for our entertainment, it's a fascinating read.

  • US to Quit the UN?

    2025-02-14

    You know how it is, you wait hours for a bus and then 11 come along in a bus-a-thon. Well, we have waited years for the good sense to do any number of sensible things, and suddenly a Trump Executive Order comes in (along with around 199 others) that portends the exact action required.

    Obviously such a dramatic step cannot be just taken overnight as there will be many knock-on effects that have to be considered and seen to be considered, but that process of consideration has now been set in motion.

    Where Trump leads, will the world follow?

    Well, we might have to reverse a few years to find the "old politics" that JD Vance enthuses over to the Munich Security Conference, but there's nothing new under the sun.

    "I've heard a lot about what you are defending yourselves from, but what exactly is it that you are defending your selves for?"

    "If you are running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you"

    As spelled out at NATO HQ by Peter Hegseth in Brussels.

    One might loosely summarise (pay up, arm up, revamp defence industries, recognise realities, and make peace in Ukraine) - all wrapped in supportive language. 

    Largely unspoken were the implications for NATO if they should fail...

    There's a lot to cover, and both America and the world are changing faster than anybody expected...

  • Pay Your (Durham County) Council Tax if You Want To?

    2025-02-13

    Martin Geddes (yes, he again) now summarises (with a little help from ChatGPT) just why he considers that Durham County Council may be outside the law in terms of its council tax enforcement processes.

    That isn't at all to say that all councils are similarly suspect - I have no details - but nor can I rule it out, especially as many of them, like CDOS (see the article) will be members of the CIVEA (Civil Enforcement Association) and may be thought likely to have similar systems to Durham CC.

    "These assaults on the public appear to be war crimes (as enemy combatants), crimes against humanity, and terrorist attacks — so fall under international human rights law and military jurisdiction"

    Is Your Council Tax Enforcement Really Fraudulent?

  • The Trump Train Rolls On Relentless

    2025-02-13

    Will the Trump Train not pause to allow more passengers to board?

    If you are not aboard already, it's not stopping now for anyone. The contrast with the much-quoted EU train that the UK was so earnestly exhorted to join before it too departed (in that case for the wonderfully fabled but ill-defined EUtopia) is unmissable. But whither goes the Trump Train?

    Fresh from the successful blitzkrieg on the various federal agencies of corruption (and possibly treason) such as (but not limited to) the now infamous USAID, the next suburbs to be passed through will be the major historical false flag attacks:

    The JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King  assassinations

    The Epstein client list and (perhaps) his "suicide"

  • DOGE to Chase Exploding Gains

    2025-02-12

    Elon Musk's DOGE is showing how to deal with those on the take.

    As part of its investigations into Government Efficiency it will investigate those who have somehow appeared to acquire huge wealth despite being on salaries that could not have produced such wealth.

    Now it's quite possible these days to buy and sell crypto (Bitcoin for example) at precisely the right time, and make a fortune, but it's not exactly commonplace.

    So employees of agencies which misspent government funds, and who appear to have acquired wealth beyond scope of salary, would, bearing in mind the public interest, seem to have little potential for any automatic benefit of the doubt, and should be nicely asked to account for their good fortune. As always, they do not have to comply with a polite request if they do not so wish, but those who have good explanations could set the investigators minds at rest. The burden of proof still rests with any potential

  • The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill

    2025-02-12

    This Bill, currently wending its way through Parliament, looks set to reach the Statute Book just as soon as their Lordships have finished with it and passed it on to the Monarch for his Royal Assent.

    Given that the Labour Party has a stonking majority in the Commons, there will be no delaying its arrival before their Lordships.

    Given also the Government's obsession with ultimately centralising all powers of any note unto itself, it's no surprise that this bill is long on rhetoric and very very short on devolution (after all, if it started devolving powers to, say, parents, there would be a chaotic free-for-all and the government would have nothing to do except twiddle its thumbs and dream of powers forsaken).

  • And We Thought America Was Bad

    2025-02-11

    Whilst America is having its Trump-Musk moment, with consequences that we await as they turn out, Americans are apparently now joined by hysteria against the "Far Right" in Germany, where the Left seems to be paranoid about the AfD and other dreadful right-wing (erstwhile centre-right) parties gaining enough ground to push the sainted Left to the sidelines.

    That of course is seen as a totally undemocratic outcome.

    "Over half of all Germans now find themselves on “the right” and urgently require democratic reeducation"

    By this account half the country is on the streets protesting against the popular mood...    how that works is neither obvious nor likely legal.

    "All of the absurdities of the past twenty years will begin to crumble as parliamentary majorities can no longer be found to support them"

  • David Starkey Analyses the State of Britain Today

    2025-02-11

    "Here is a man who has never read anything apart from a legal textbook, and an Arsenal Programme"

    This may start a bit slowly, but David Starkey makes an interesting and perceptive analysis of our current state/State, and clearly puts across the value of our (now neglected) historical heritage - we don't know what we have until it's been lost.

    "... we f****ed up partly because we became 'experts'... "

    Expertise in a narrow field is no substitute for breadth of knowledge and experience.

    He gives us much to think about, and in the process, helps us realise that what we as a society now lack is the influential wisdom of experienced and knowledgeable elders - we no longer value the depth of understanding that such aldermen (using the word in its historical sense) should bring to our new and upcoming
