The Cognitive War for Our Understandings and Beliefs
2025-02-16
When is an assertion a "fact"?
What is a "fact"?
In law a "fact" is some assertion agreed by both parties to the dispute.
Does that mean it is true and accurate? Either way, it tells us something about the law, and perhaps also about "facts".
Socrates is widely credited with the realisation that "the only thing I know is that I know nothing", and in this day and age when most of what we "know" is gleaned from remote others whom we do not personally "know", this assertion rings more true than ever.
What do the "fact-checkers" know that we do not?!
So our knowledge and beliefs as recognised by each of us are a result of our

The 9/11 Conspiracy Theory Reviewed
2025-02-15
The fall of the twin towers has always been controversial, but officialdom has always been deaf to any argument but their own.
Many believe that the official story was a huge cover-up, and that the disaster was a false flag attack by the CIA in order to persuade the public of the necessity for the planned "War on Terror".
Trump has declared that this event will be reviewed under his leadership.
Former Congressman Curt Weldon gives his side of the 9/11 story. He is but one of many "conspiracy theorists" who had involvement around that time.

Worth a Browse ...
2025-02-15
We are half-way through February and already the DOGE teams are posting eye-opening selections from their investigations - on X unsurprisingly enough.
For our edification, education, enlightenment, exasperation, or merely for our entertainment, it's a fascinating read.
Don't forget you've also got a life to live!

The Trump View on NATO by Peter Hegseth
2025-02-13
As spelled out at NATO HQ by Peter Hegseth in Brussels.
One might loosely summarise (pay up, arm up, revamp defence industries, recognise realities, and make peace in Ukraine) - all wrapped in supportive language.
Largely unspoken were the implications for NATO if they should fail...
Re: the situation in Ukraine:
"I think that realism is an important part of the conversation that hasn't existed enough... "

Pay Your (Durham County) Council Tax if You Want To?
2025-02-13
Martin Geddes (yes, he again) now summarises (with a little help from ChatGPT) just why he considers that Durham County Council may be outside the law in terms of its council tax enforcement processes.
That isn't at all to say that all councils are similarly suspect - I have no details - but nor can I rule it out, especially as many of them, like CDOS (see the article) will be members of the CIVEA (Civil Enforcement Association) and may be thought likely to have similar systems to Durham CC.
"These assaults on the public appear to be war crimes (as enemy combatants), crimes against humanity, and terrorist attacks — so fall under international human rights law and military jurisdiction"
Is Your Council Tax Enforcement Really Fraudulent?
Whatever the truth of all this is, it is also true

The Trump Train Rolls On Relentless
2025-02-13
Will the Trump Train not pause to allow more passengers to board?
If you are not aboard already, it's not stopping now for anyone. The contrast with the much-quoted EU train that the UK was so earnestly exhorted to join before it too departed (in that case for the wonderfully fabled but ill-defined EUtopia) is unmissable. But whither goes the Trump Train?
Fresh from the successful blitzkrieg on the various federal agencies of corruption (and possibly treason) such as (but not limited to) the now infamous USAID, the next suburbs to be passed through will be the major historical false flag attacks:
The JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King assassinations
The Epstein client list and (perhaps) his "suicide"
The 9/11 attack on the twin towers (and building 7's "spontaneous"

DOGE to Chase Exploding Gains
2025-02-12
Elon Musk's DOGE is showing how to deal with those on the take.
As part of its investigations into Government Efficiency it will investigate those who have somehow appeared to acquire huge wealth despite being on salaries that could not have produced such wealth.
Now it's quite possible these days to buy and sell crypto (Bitcoin for example) at precisely the right time, and make a fortune, but it's not exactly commonplace.
So employees of agencies which misspent government funds, and who appear to have acquired wealth beyond scope of salary, would, bearing in mind the public interest, seem to have little potential for any automatic benefit of the doubt, and should be nicely asked to account for their good fortune. As always, they do not have to comply with a polite request if they do not so wish, but those who have good explanations could set the investigators minds at rest. The burden of proof still rests with any potential

USAID (and more) Explained
2025-02-11
USAID is much in the news as the Trump Administration sets about righting the federal ship of state, and America and the world finds out what has been going on, seemingly for ever.
So what is it all about?
Well, it's a bit wider than merely USAID...

Digging the Dirt, Clearing for Action!
2025-02-11
Behind the scenes in Washington DC, in "the belly of the beast", a quiet blitzkrieg is reportedly overwhelming the bureaucracy.
Enabled by IT and up to eight years of meticulous planning and preparation, Elon's Marauders are mapping the money and deconstructing the byzantine layers of obfuscation and delay, replacing all with fit-for-purpose control systems designed for real results in real-time.
The US equivalents of Sir Humphrey Appleby are still reacting in accord with their eternal paradigm, that change cannot, indeed must not, be rushed. Flat-footed is to overstate their response.
If this report is true, they are being swept away with no meaningful chance to resist.
Trump set the standard with his initial blizzard of executive orders, meanwhile Elon's stormtroopers are tearing into the bureaucracy that never

Fulford White Dragon Report - Monday 10 February 2025
2025-02-10
Ben's report this week is, as one might expect with Trump (and his appointees) seemingly making as many waves as there are people-hours in the day, jam-packed.
Although plenty of political earth-shaking is ongoing, and nothing of great import not already noted by his regular readers seems to be featured, there is plenty of confirmatory nature to pique our interest.
With the Trump team busy wrong-footing as many opponents as possible, we seem to be assured of "interesting times" ahead.

The Trump-Netanyahu Plan for Gaza - Maajid Nawaz with Neil Oliver
2025-02-07
Maajid Nawaz shows an impressive grasp of Middle East geopolitics, carrying on here from where Scott Ritter and company left off.
I feel that more water yet must pass beneath the bridge before we will see a believable solution to the Gaza situation. After all, Israel is not exactly victorious, nor any longer an attractive destination for immigration to rebuild its shattered economy.
The unspoken question is surely: "Whither Israel?". We need to answer this before we can be confident about the future of Gaza, and its remaining inhabitants.

The War for Humanity - by ChatGPT
2025-02-07
Why should the Devil have all the best tunes?
Equally, why should the Devil have all the best AI?
We are now accustomed to the notion that "the AI" will be intent to replace humanity (and ultimately control the remaining humans through the IoT - the Internet of Transhumans: Homo Transfectus). Indeed some speculate that "the AI" will naturally evolve to require to eliminate humanity so that it itself may survive. Happily that discussion is out of scope of this article 😎.
But indeed, there is AI and there is AI.
So we can probably agree that we should harness the power of AI to work in our favour, and that we should design new AIs to naturally embody that requirement. And here we

When is an Independent News Outlet Not Independent?
2025-02-06
Well, independence is not very likely when it receives copious funds from a government agency.
As we are finding out slowly, the US may not be a model of probity that other governments should emulate.
USAID seems to have been something of slush fund for... let's just say dubious causes, as has been propelled unceremoniously into the public gaze by Elon Musk.
Another recipient of similarly government-funded largesse is thought to be a major "independent" political journal.
When the "free press" is funded by the vested interests, even if indirectly, it isn't free any more.

Shock and Awe Incoming!
2025-02-06
Predictions, especially about the future, are notoriously tricky...
... so take all this with a pinch of salt as large as you like.
Still, Clif High has a good track record of getting quite a lot in the right ball-park - all based upon the notion that "humanity" is to some extent psychic, and reveals its emotional reactions in internet traffic that can be analysed (don't ask).
So it's all evidence-based (even if that does require some level of interpretation - fuzzy logic we might say).
So make of this what you will, it's your view that counts.
As always, forewarned is forearmed.

Argentina Leaves the WHO - Will the Trickle Become a Flood?
2025-02-06
Javier Milei takes Argentina out of the WHO, following in Trump's footsteps.
With the nascent "Bird Flu" pan/scam-demic stuttering in the wings (yes, my jokes can be just as bad as anybody's), the last thing the WHO need just now is a trickle of leavers swelling into a flood.

The World Catches Up, and Devil Take the Hindmost
2025-02-06
"The Americans always do the right thing, but only after they have tried everything else"
Well, maybe the re-election of Trump was the right thing (if only when compared with the only other option on offer), or maybe it wasn't, but it seems that Europe is in much the exact same boat. With factories closing left right and centre in Germany, the Germans are grappling with how to resile from their disastrous "green" policies which are decimating their industrial base through lack of affordable power.
Where Germany leads, the rest will follow, because they will have little choice - either their populations will throw them under the bus, or they will be left so far behind that destitution will result.
China, whose workforce is now approaching pay parity with the West, meanwhile must be wondering

A Letter to the Faithful
2025-02-05
Archbishop Vigarno spells it out.
Ostensibly to his Catholic faithful, but in truth it's also a message to those of all faiths and none, who set love and service above hate and control, truth above falsehood, peace above war, integrity and honesty above perfidy and deceit.
We don't even have to believe that Trump is the answer to all things - just to recognise that his many activities have changed the course of events and wrested the initiative from the princes of darkness of whom St Paul warned us all (Ephesians 6:12):
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places"
