The self-organising-collective meets the communist academic's financial system melt-down.

Not for the first time, Clif High gives us a masterclass, this time in how he sees the approaching economic and financial chaos and the subsequent resolution.

He is his own man and makes some pertinent points about how the system may fail and how "the Donald" may be seeking to guide our expectations. 

As always, it's your judgement, I am not going to take sides in how this situation is going to develop.

Buckle up - this "q uack-up" is getting nearer by the day... and in terms of time-frame I note that both he and Ben Fulford are postulating not dissimilar expectations.

We have waited nearly 50 years since the Korean Armistice Agreement that brought the fighting to a close was signed in 1953, so this should have been big news.

It's conditional on the US ending its "hostile attitude" - but Trump already did that in 2019, before the 2020 November elections that led to the Joe Biden inauguration in January 2021. 

Given the parlous state of US politics one might be forgiven for thinking that this condition may not in practice be long in the fulfilment, although you wouldn't notice from the press reports and the BBC article.

My guess though is that if Kim Jong Un

 "Show some self-respect and reclaim your freedom"

Abigail Shrier (no, nor had I heard of her) delivers an object lesson in why we should undertake education, why family and others put themselves out to support us in that endeavour, and what we should do with our lives once we have graduated.

Yes it's about hard work, yes it's about attitude, yes it's about resilience and persistence, yes its about developing skills and contacts, but most of all it's about...

Well, I'm not going to give you the punch-line, you'll just have to read it yourself, but trust me, it's worth it!

Especially if you are a student.

This little number is a deliberately provocative piece of... well, I'm not sure... whimsy? imagination? deception? conditioning of expectation? or just plain broadening of the mind?

I don't know the answer to that, but I think it's a question that all thinking people should take note of, in case the answer turns out to surprise us.

I'm beginning to think that nothing could surprise me any more, but given that all knowledge is now deemed resident on the internet, which is no more than a baby repository at a mere 20 years of age (most of it much less), it does fit very neatly into the challenging notion being presented.

After all, to hide knowledge away for ever it would now only be necessary to avoid it's transfer into electronic form. Only the the most dedicated researchers now resort to hunting down and poring through paper records - it's far too inconvenient.

So how absurd is absurd? I'm quite prepared to

The AIER (American Institute for Economic Research) take me to task with their latest article on the genesis of popular truth and knowledge.

It's true that it was not me specifically that they had in their sights, yet  in some measure I do have to plead guilty to presenting a somewhat one-sided view of certain topics (well OK, many topics) that we cover on this site.

So it's worth asking:- what differentiates this site from the rest of "received opinion"?

This being a question that our readers really ought to ask themselves, it would not be fitting for me to advise you what to think on this topic - after all, my stated objective is to help and encourage everybody to think for themselves - the "good Lord" (of whatever persuasion you choose) has endowed us with an

"When a certain number of people begin to do something it actually causes a shift in the thinking and awareness and potentiation of everyone on the planet... everyone in the cosmos"

I get the feeling that we are approaching the point where we will all have to relearn a great deal of "science" that we thought we knew if we want to get to grips with the world that we are about to find ourselves living in.

Dr Steven Greer has been working with investigating and explaining this theory for a number of years. Perhaps we ought to start paying his ideas more attention.

This is a post from Stop World Control - many have reportedly found it helpful.

Equally, many will consider it unhelpful. Probably very few will agree with everything he says. 

Nonetheless I consider it to be on the right side of current world events - at this time when our lords and masters are hell-bent on creating division where none previously existed, any thoughts that encourage us to hold together and act together in love and unity, come what may, are to be welcomed. That is the primary message that I accept, and the reason why I carry the post.

MEPs come out at press conference in favour of staff who do not approve the mandatory "green pass" to come to work.

Cogently argued as well. 

Will the staff at the EU Parliament tolerate this intrusion on their liberties or will they walk out? 

One can only imagine what Nigel would have had to say ...

Life sometimes throws up inconvenient truths which are not immediately explicable (indeed some might think that we have been blessed with rather too many of these recently!).

Some people find these mysteries fascinating, and some baffling, and some react by rejecting the evidence as somehow flawed because it doesn't comply with their expectations - even in some cases going so far as to suppress the offending evidence, or to rewrite the documentation to reflect their beliefs rather than the evidence - or some will simply ignore the offending evidence altogether... 

So I thought it might be interesting to see how inexplicable truths are handled in less fast-moving arenas - for example, in archaeology.

Since we left the EU we also left the CAP. Since then the government and its civil servants have been occupied in devising what might unkindly be thought of as a composite policy of subsidy laced with a good measure of "green" objectives that I have never properly understood.

Being of what some might consider advancing years I still remember the pre-CAP days before we joined the "Common Market". We had cheap imported meat from our erstwhile colonies (primarily New Zealand, Australia) and subsidies to British farmers so that they could cover the gap between their expenses of production and market meat prices. It seemed to me (being not at all farming oriented) that it worked well enough. All that changed when we joined the one-size-fits-all CAP and meat prices in the shops rocketed whilst New Zealand and Australia scrambled to find new markets for their produce.

So I was interested to see

This is not particularly topical, but Bill Gates, the man that made Microsoft, the philanthropist who vaccinates the world, has affected and continues to affect our world in many ways, for better or for worse.

The Corbett Report gives us their view of Bill Gates:

Dominic Cummins has been quiet recently, and now we find out why.

He once famously indicated that the Civil Service would need some hard rain post Brexit, but he left the government before this could come about.

Now he has come out with his proposals, we find that some of his analysis is not too contentious

"America needs a government that controls the government, as it did under FDR and Lincoln, and shatters the party structure which is a plague" 

Who would have thought it?

His solution (probably rightly in my jaundiced view) rests on the proposition that when

In these days of mass delusion (whichever side of the fence you may occupy) the methodology behind the efforts to get us all to comply are either the product of an over-active imagination, or the nefarious attempt by "them" to achieve their ends by unobtrusive means.

Well, this little video shows the techniques that a stage performer used to extraordinary effect in getting his volunteer subjects to do some quite outlandish things . . .

Many would suggest that state education never recovered after Crossland's abolition of the grammar schools. But he was a politician, so what did we expect?

But is there any fundamental reason why a Comprehensive shouldn't produce excellent results? Apart from that age old aphorism "Jack of all trades, master of none" of course.

There are clearly many attributes that a good school must possess, and specialisation may be only one among the many. So what attribute should we value most highly? 

I would suggest that "a good teacher" must rank very highly indeed - but what makes for a good teacher? One of the best teachers I ever had was teaching outside his subject-matter but used to keep one lesson ahead of the class! So subject-matter competence need not always rank very highly.

Simon Parkes is (like Charlie Ward) a man who presents to us as an information source on behalf of what we on this site refer to in general terms as the "Greater Reset".

He presents himself as an ordinary person, like you and I, and unlike Charlie he lives in the UK with us (). In a way he is a bit like the "Klaus Schwab" of the Greater Reset - a face who purports to tell us what the men behind the scenes have in store for us (don't push this notion too far!).

What I call the "gauntlet" is a document prepared by the "top man" in the Greater Reset team in the USA, and may be downloaded from the link at the foot of this article (which takes you to a Simon Parkes web-page). It has been released to followers of Simon and Charlie (and probably via other channels although I have no information on that).

It summarises the state of the world in particular as it afflicts the

At this time of year, with the summer beginning to fade and the autumn, that season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, beckoning, many of us turn our thoughts to nature's bounty and wish that we were more knowledgeable about such matters.

Being as guilty as the next man of lacking any serious knowledge of our native seasonal resources, I am happy to feature the Sensory Solutions Blog as a small acknowledgement of my ignorance, in the hope that some may hereby be enticed into learning more about this fascinating subject.

Keeping well-grounded has never seemed more important than now, and the Seed Sistas offer us all a blend of practical mysticism that I find very appealing. More power to their elbow!
