What is Zelensky's position following abandonment by Donald Trump and facing implacable Russian Troops on the battlefields?

No surprises here, and precious few opportunities - but will he take from what is actually on offer?

Scott Ritter recounts the dreadful tale of how he got to where he is today.

And what may be the UK's contribution to this situation?

Citizens' assemblies are simply assemblies of citizens. Of course they are assemblies for a purpose, as are all assemblies.

And they have to be funded... advertising, room hire, presentation equipment and materials all cost money, although not necessarily vast amounts - nevertheless the overall cost of assemblies in every town is not insignificant.

I have attended one such myself, on how best to encourage net zero measures in our locality, and where would be best to site them. I went along (a) for the experience and (b) to see how must sense I would be able to contribute. Yes, it was an instructive experience and no, not much sense was permitted, on the grounds that it was a Net Zero meeting and it's purpose was not to argue the case for or against, since that outcome was already established.

I was therefore in the wrong meeting. Not that there was any right meeting arranged where I might have fitted in. Of course I could have called my own "right

Historian David Starkey isn't just a national treasure, he's perfectly capable of reviewing the broad sweep of history to pinpoint the points of fundamental change in practical legal government.

We may now be accustomed to the idea of "legal" equating to "compliance to somebody else's rules" or even nowadays "corrupt enforcement of invalid rules" but it was not ever thus. So where did it all go wrong?

"The UK’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA), established in 2023 with an £800 million purse of taxpayer funds, received a burst of publicity last week when it was unveiled that the agency was planning to “dim the sun” to fight global warming"

Well, they are late to the party because we have been watching the dimming of the sun in our English skies for years already - the photo above was taken in 2022.

And if "they" were not doing it, who was? Will we be seeing a new battle in the skies above us as rival sun-dimming outfits fight it out for the right to stop global warming in its tracks?

Roger Watson, who we must assume from his opening words is a Catholic, takes a hard look at the global problem of immigration, and what the official Catholic response under the leadership the newly minted Pope Leo might be.

It's a vital question, and not adequately answered by the simplistic assumption that all should be automatically welcome regardless of culture, proclivity, religion, or even of sheer numbers.

Still, at least he has a specific leader to assess, whose actions may or may not speak louder than his words.

Unlike us C of E (Church of England / Church of Everybody) protestants, who have a leadership divided between King Charles III (who by convention is restrained from openly engaging in UK politics) and the Archbishop of Canterbury (who sits in the Lords by virtue of his leadership of the Lords Spiritual) and is not constrained by convention. Who can say how the relationship between the King and his servant the Archbishop may affect UK

Whilst elsewhere Trump's tariffs have been making the headlines, Ben leads with a review of possible religious psy-ops in the wake of the confirmation of Pope Leo.

And if you thought last week's picture of a Golden Trump dressed up in Popish attire was the biggest troll of the season, you might be in for an even bigger surprise... and perhaps truth really is stranger than fiction!

Plus the latest scuttlebutt on the goings-on within our own Royal Family.

UNN campaigner David Clews (AKA "the Emperor") has concluded that since Reform is (currently) the only game in political party town, then we should all join and support it as a possible vehicle for effecting the change to UK governance that is so obviously required.

As I have stated many times, this site does not do party politics. The reason that we don't is that party politics is fundamentally a charade to entertain and delude the masses, and to offer hope that a new party might make a breakthrough. It won't, at least not unless the hidden powers that control the parliamentary parties (and much else besides) have somehow been taken down without us noticing, and if it does it will be taken down or taken over, probably from within.

Whitney Web is unconvinced about the benevolence of Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency. Whilst is is true that many examples of egregious expenditures have been identified such as USAID, and quite possibly eliminated, it appears (according to Whitney) that USAID has just been repackaged under the State Department of Marco Rubio.

Perhaps, as ever, the truth is elusive...

Martin Geddes offers his AI's take on 5th generation warfare (all very peculiar).

We are well into Orwellian territory now. It is the war against mind-control, the war against unthinking compliance, against habitual deference to those who assert authority, and against the worldview within which we grew up (and into which we were indoctrinated).

Everyone is on this battlefield whether or not we realise it. 

Only those of us prepared to think the unthinkable will survive it.

Everything we have been told is up for challenge and rethinking, individual by individual.

Nobody can rethink everything, but understanding the necessity, and making a start, will likely be enough.

That's on top of all the other billions of course. But we can't leave the Councils out of the psy-op can we, or people might begin to suspect the unsuspectable.

Besides, there's money to be made out of a good psy-op if you know how it's going to be played - those solar panels have to come from somewhere, and will make the providers very rich even as they may impoverish tax-paying punters who won't be too pleased when they discover how environmentally unclean these things really are, so best leave that bit unsaid.

Still, innovation is a 'good thing' right? So who better than Innovate UK (no, me neither) to fly the flag for solar, that isn't too bright in the winter

Ed Milliband has a problem - even the already agreed off-shore wind projects must be regarded as questionable given that the Hornsea 4 project has just been announced ditched and dead in the water.

"The combination of increased supply chain costs, higher interest rates and increased execution risk have deteriorated the expected value creation of the project"

Ah well, back to the drawing board...

Following the great victory of the Labour Party in the UK last year (with a negligible uplift to the number of votes cast for them above the great wipe-out of the 2019 GE), Canada has "welcomed" Mark Carney by a whisker, and now Australia has another "landslide without a mandate".

Are they really imitating the mother country?

Or perhaps there is a new political virus stalking the Anglosphere that causes terminal sickness in the political system - I'm sure Bill Gates would have a vaccine for that if only we could terrorise our politicians to queue up for it...

Or perhaps it's all part of an outlandish global campaign to totally discredit our current "democratic" systems... before turning around and offering us a shiny new political system that would replace it all and usher in a new world order of some kind... but who might be behind such an extraordinarily ambitious scheme?

One thing's for sure - if it

Germany may just have stopped the asylum inflow at source - their novel solution?

Don't let them in.

Will the UK follow suit?

It is highly likely that Germany's neighbours will also do similarly as they will have to cope with the backflush. If you can't get into Germany then you will have to go elsewhere or stay where you are.

Eugyppius reports.

Yes, the EU pips are beginning to squeak.

And if mighty Germany can do it... well, the European Court of Justice or even the ECHR may well have something to say about it. 

As may the Commission - I'm sure there are EU rules that this will contravene? But putting Germany on the naughty step may prove tricky

Fascism is one of those words which student protesters hurl at protestees (is there such a word? I don't see why not) with whom they imagine that they disagree. And it is true that words can morph through constant misuse to mean something quite different to their original purpose, although Humpty Dumpty might not agree.

One might in passing expect students to be better informed, but these days, rightly or wrongly, we don't.
