Martin Geddes with another of his dissertations on the current state of events within the broader sweep of recent (and not so recent) history.

In times like these when it's become extremely difficult to determine what is true and what is false, confusion is our ever constant companion;  yet is it possible by setting events within context to bring some clarity at least to the overall direction of travel.

This is an audio report (with pretty but unrelated pictures) which I deduce is 2023 and very topical.

It's a bit technical, but bear with it.

August incoming - keep up your situational awareness, prime it by listening to this recording.

"... they can't go back... "

Richard Vobes interviews Michael Tellinger, proponent of the Ubuntu "one small town" movement.

"... it [money] arrived as a fully evolved, fully planned, premeditated tool of enslavement "

"... we're not opposing the system, because if you do that you're going to lose"

Essential viewing.

(New readers may like to check out the other articles in our "Down the Rabbit Hole" series, where we look at out-of-the-usual issues that many dismiss as absurd, but which seem remarkably resilient and are not easily disproved - forewarned is forearmed!)

Ah yes, the enigmatic moon - silently patrolling our night (and day!) skies, ever waxing and waning, mysteriously controlling the female cycle, for ever guiding our tides and giving life to our beaches.

Some say even influencing our farming practices and mental states...   is there anything the moon doesn't poke its nose into?

"The Modern Slavery Act will give law enforcement the tools to fight modern slavery, ensure perpetrators can receive suitably severe punishments for these appalling crimes and enhance support and protection for victims. It received Royal Assent on Thursday 26 March 2015"

" * require businesses over a certain size to disclose each year what action they have taken to ensure there is no modern slavery in their business or supply chains" (my emphasis)

" * create an independent anti-slavery commissioner to improve and better coordinate the response to modern slavery"

This is a startling outline of a bigger story that would no doubt be a block-buster compendium that might keep us entertained for years, but it is necessarily limited to something that we can read in a few minutes.

I have no corroboration other than snippets that I've heard here and there that I no longer remember except as snippets, so if it works for you that's great, if it doesn't then ignore it.

New readers may like to read some of our previous "Down the Rabbit Hole" articles, where we dare to explore notions that we cannot confirm but which do on some level seem plausible, even though outside (perhaps well outside!) our normal experience.

As an overarching explanation for what we know of our history and what we know of current goings-on (probably very little on both fronts), I find this article

There is no way that I am qualified to comment on matters horticultural, but simple logic would assert that Gardeners' Question Time probably had it right with their famous quote "Well, I think the answer lies in the soil".

Stands to reason really - if the soil isn't right then plants will have problems.

So how to get the right soil? Well, how did techniques work in times past?

It's an irrelevant question if you believe that the IPCC is a political organisation that ensures its modellers simply produce the answers that their funding agencies require, but if you still believe that it's all totally above board scientific and impartial, then maybe this article goes some way toward explaining the disparity between the alarmist predictions of the said modelling and the actual progress toward climate armageddon exhibited by the real world.

This site still maintains that since climate science is probably the most complex topic known to man, and in light of the abysmal track record of climate predictions to come true so far, the whole idea that "the science is settled" amounts to utter and demonstrable nonsense.

But there are still scientists who are modest enough to acknowledge that they don't necessarily have a handle on the full picture.

So they do what they can to counter the bogus certainty of the politicians with a reasonable

For me, it was Covid that declared the opening of hostilities.

When it became clear that we were all to be jabbed for a fake pandemic, one had to ask "what will be in those syringes"? It didn't seem likely that it would be anything to our advantage.

And so it has proved. Cui bono?

The UN-WEF-WHO is trying desperately to lock us into legal submission, but as the primary factual result of their performance on Covid seems to be reports from around the world of elevated death from all causes strangely coincidental with the start of the vaccination programmes, I'm in no hurry to sign up.

With a political establishment that was firstly only too willing to lead us by the nose into institutions that morphed into the EU; and was, secondly, spectacularly unwilling to actually implement Brexit in any meaningful manner, I see no cause at all to permit them to subjugate us to the

Clif hasn't posted on his BitChute channel since May, but he is back on YouTube with uploads of earlier works, in no particular order.

In this one from January 2023. He was ruminating on how this year would turn out, it is audio only (although the piccies are nice and an occasional caption fills a gap in the audio - blink and you'll miss it).

He does start the recording (but doesn't always) with the date, so listen up for that.

Did he get 2023 right so far?

Don't take it from me - take it from the spokesperson for the Bank of International Settlements (BIS).

It seems that they have ambitions to control not just international settlements, but your settlement with your grocer, or any other vendor that you may "choose" to patronise. From the sublime to the ridiculous, it's all in a day's work for the Central Banks...

Learn the "secrets" of the Bank of Japan, the ECB, and... CBDCs.

Colchester City Council to be more precise.

Concerned residents make a straightforward case to the Council - take control of your own opinions, don't just unquestioningly accept what you're being told.

In truth it's a criticism that could apply to any of us, on any subject, but when you are a representative of the people and you want to push policies that are not necessarily to the advantage of the people, you need to be very sure of your ground.

Do we believe in "free speech"?

Well, James Delingpole is brave enough to say that "it depends".

And I think he's right.

Free speech in the right circumstances is very beneficial if it helps others to formulate their own views.

In the wrong circumstances it muddies the waters, confuses the listener, and and may even promote the madness of crowds...

I also think that "free speech" doesn't include deliberate falsehoods half-truths omissions or incitement to criminality. To be useful it has to be honest peaceful and unthreatening.

Which introduces another problem - who is to judge this "honesty"? Rhetoric can be used for good or for ill, to inform or to confuse or to mislead. Caveat

Yes, there's no escaping the inimitable Richard Vobes.

Here he is exploring yet another aspect of the human condition that we don't normally think about, but which could for some, perhaps for many, bring resolution to problems which we might previously have considered too deep-seated and too little understood to be properly addressed.

If you can't debate them, ridicule them.

The Climate Alarmists are an anti-intellectual lot who prefer to insist that "the science is settled" rather than to debate the issue, even though climate science is quite possibly the most complex topic in the universe, and if it really was settled then man would already rival God in the intellectual stakes.

Maybe they think that the IPCC is God, I don't know.

Still, John Robson of Climate Discussion Nexus reports on one of the many holes in climate theology in his usual entertaining manner.

Worth a look (as is all his work).

Our schools are apparently bending over backwards to accommodate the self-identity preferences of school-kids, no matter how unusual.

It is reported that there has been some brouhaha over the desire of one young lady to self-identify as a cat. She was (reportedly) supported by her teacher who strongly disagreed with another class member who considered the cat identity ridiculous, and insisted that her unusual identity is perfectly valid and acceptable. 

Now most people would probably think that this is all a lot of nonsense that should be firmly squashed, the girls and boys should be firmly told that they are human, and that's an end of it.

But although everybody is getting mighty steamed up about all this, I think the cat-girl is absolutely

Ex-colonies (some might think still "soft power" colonies) in Africa and elsewhere now have a choice of financiers who will help them exploit their minerals for their own benefit. Also by forming regional partnerships with their like-minded neighbours, they can move away from dependence on western currencies for trade. Change is afoot.

Are they jumping from the frying pan into the fire? Or will the future bring real improvements? Time will tell, but maybe the Africans will get a better deal and the West may or may not. After all, peaceful cooperation is inherently better than strife in almost all respects.
