Everything You Thought You Knew ...

Details: Category: Free Citizen; Published: 23 November 2024; Hits: 860

... may be untrue. No, really.

If you are a conspiracy theorist, then you surely believe that many things we once thought were true now turn out to be ... well, false.

And if you reject such conspiracy theories as the nonsense they undoubtedly are, then you are pretty certain that those who subscribe to them are deluded.

So we have neatly divided society into factions (once again!) who both think the other lot are barmy. The division is no longer about race, religion, class, or wokeness, it's about "who's the nutcase".

So before we man the barricades, perhaps we may need to find a way to unite the warring factions under a common purpose - and "freedom of speech", which once used to be robustly defended in the UK ("Freedom to speak only inoffensively is not worth having"), is the principle upon which both sides can unite.

It's a good and effective principle, not least because offence cannot occur until it is taken - a simple offer of offence, however obvious, may well be simply ignored, and is thus ineffective in normal parlance and practice unless and until the offer of offence is actually taken.

We can choose not to be offended!

But I digress ...

Lest we (of whichever conspiracy / non-conspiracy faction) fall into the trap of too readily believing what we are told, here is a warning video that may shake your faith in your own infallible judgement - and does it in its own entertaining way (although of course you are free to disagree with me about that!), starting with the tale of the unknown "presidential candidate" who's campaign clearly suffered from a complete media blackout ...

See what you think!

And if you are now totally confused about what to believe, perhaps that is a state of mind appropriate to our age. Or just another conspiracy theory ...

Renewables under New Threat?

Are renewables sinking beneath the waves of new unpredictable threats?

Does Ed Milliband have a solution? Could we afford it?

And what does this mean for the security of subsea internet connectors?

If the power goes and the internet goes, then modern life may become impossible in short order.

Netanyahu in the ICC's Legal Cross-Hairs

Details: Category: Legal; Published: 21 November 2024; Hits: 735

2024-11-21

The Telegraph reports that the ICC has (after some delay it must be noted) issued arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant.

"The warrants are 'for crimes against humanity and war crimes committed from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024' "

"also issued an arrest warrant for Hamas’s military chief Mohammed Deif, who is seen as the mastermind of the Oct 7 attacks. Israel claimed to have killed him earlier this year"

"The ICC’s decision turns Mr Netanyahu and the others into internationally wanted suspects"

All countries who recognise the ICC are now formally obliged to arrest the suspects and turn them over for legal proceedings to be initiated as appropriate.

The USA does not recognise the ICC and could in theory ignore these warrants, although they could also act as impartial negotiators to help end the stand-off should occasion arise.

Read the report.

Eric Trump on Golf, Aberdeen, Scotland, and the Political Future

He covers a great deal of ground here, including how relations between the UK and the United States may develop in the future. Of course not to omit the golf courses of the Trump empire!

Nor to omit the conflicts of the Ukraine and Israel, and other geopolitical factors that afflict our world.

Oh, and farmers.

Down the Rabbit Hole to - the Shape of Things to Come?

(Let me start with the customary suggestion - readers are advised to read my other 'Down the Rabbit Hole' titles (use top left Search box), in particular Down the Rabbit Hole - 1 2 3 and 4. before continuing)

Even our regulars may not be familiar with Penny Kelly, a quite remarkable lady with a story that many will consider totally and completely outrageous simply because it is well outside of our day-to-day experience. If you are unprepared to suspend your disbelief ... then you may not want to continue - but continuing doesn't compel your belief, and she is a very open and engaging personality with a serious message, so what have you got to lose (other than a closed mind)?

Even if you choose not to believe, "forewarned is forearmed". It's OK to park in the "too difficult" box for now.

Here she relates her story so far, and moves on to give us her insight on the topic of the incoming post-election world - a world that will very likely be making its incoming felt imminently, within months. If you have been wondering what the current world upheavals are leading up to ... maybe you should give her presentation some attention. My advice is to watch right to the end or you will miss the punch line.

For all of her truly extraordinary story, she comes across to me as a very human, matter-of-fact lady that most of us would be proud and comfortable to know. That in itself is pretty extraordinary.
