The Fabian Society - the Slow March to Power

Yes, Tony Blair gets a mention, and of course "Human Rights". In fact, name any prominent left-wing politician of today or yesteryear and he's likely to be connected to the Fabian Society.

If you're on the "Left" but not a Fabian today, then maybe you need to take stock ... as you may be a revolutionary Marxist (Fabians like their march to power to be slow and incremental, Marxists like it fast and furious). 

"They are not the best lawyers ... "

"It's ... a cult that offers the not-very-able an easy access to public life ... "

I'm somehow not convinced that this video is going to come out in their favour, but if the above observation is correct, it could go some way to explain the inadequate quality of left-wing MPs, of which the current parliament has a serious over-abundance. That's not to imply of course that those MPs not of the "left" are any better, just that they don't feature in this video's subject-matter.

But ... why would they want those "not very able" people in "public life"?

9/11 Goes Back A Long Way ...

As we approach 9/11 2025 .. we might be forgiven for wondering what might be in store for us.

The previous examples are after all not auspicious.

Now you will have to work with this one - it's in German with American subtitles - vital subtitles that it seems Saddam Hussein may have missed. But unlike Saddam you can always press pause whilst you catch up.

It does end rather abruptly after not quite 17 minutes but it is only part 1 of 5 ...

And it is from 17 years ago (so don't expect any up to date issues to be so lampooned) but it does indicate how long this sh*t-show has been in gestation. And you are sure to be reminded of something, or to learn it afresh. After all, were we all taking an interest in the fakery of geopolitics, the media, American "special relationships" and everything else in 2008?

Enjoy!

The latest anti-drone technology as developed for the US armed forces looks impressive, but what are its limitations and can it be outsmarted?

On the face of it, if the technology can be deployed in the necessary numbers and in all the right places, then it looks like a game-changer that would create a swift rethink of the currently well-oiled modes of battle in Ukraine and elsewhere.

Chinese New Leadership Emerges?

After the big parade featuring Xi Jin Ping as Chinese Leader, the political coast is clear for Xi to step down officially and for the new team to emerge. President Xi held several offices, but these will be split out to avoid concentrating all powers under one man.

So we (may) have: Party Secretary: Hu Chunhua, Premier: Wang Yang, PLA Chief: General Zhang Youxia,  if confirmed ...

But will the CCP itself survive, and for how long?

The Great Game of Geopolitics Takes a Turn

This discussion brings out a number of points that deserve consideration.

It also points up the effective impossibility that any matters geopolitical will ever be addressed by a General Election - neither the public nor the system are ready to argue the complexities of our place in the world at election hustings (even if such could be addressed in the absurdly inadequate speaking times allowed!).

Patrick Henningsen and Chay Bowes provide some useful illumination.
