"In the Beginning was the word... "

And thereby hangs a great deal more than may appear on the surface.

Words are not neutral.

Words come freighted with meanings and assumptions, some obvious, some not so obvious.

And it behoves us all to be aware of the traps that the Deep State may lay for us by using one word rather than another. Especially when those words concern the family, because the family unit is the bedrock on which humanity is founded, and which the deep state would undermine in a heartbeat in its quest to corrupt every aspect beneficial for human life on this earth.

As hoaxes go, the "runaway climate" hoax was nearly perfect, being such a complex topic that nobody can conclusively prove or disprove it - until one realises that none of their catastrophic predictions have come true. New York is not under water, polar bears roam in abundant numbers, the ice caps are still resolutely in place...

And that's before we also realise that it's mostly the paid "scientists" of the IPCC who were pushing this stuff - any number of independent scientists (Prof William Happer comes instantly to mind) have been debunking this nonsense for ever. 

And before we realise that CO₂ is a truly tiny fraction of the atmosphere that couldn't possibly be responsible for global climate change (unless there simply isn't enough of it - which is actually in geological terms quite close to being the case - more CO₂ is required for a greener world).

And before we realise that the flatulence of cattle is far less of a threat

It's a proposition with which we may find much to agree.

With individuals, psychopathic tendencies are limited in scope. With governments, such tendencies can be supported by the full range of coercive powers and national resources available. With a global government they would to all intents and purposes be unlimited.

So however likely or unlikely one might think it of a government, one really should consider that if it were so, that would be pretty calamitous, so it would be most unwise to evade the question.

When considering the government of the USA, the danger would be close to unthinkable...

But whilst the Trump Administration is indeed pretty erratic in many ways, does his behaviour amount to psychopathy, and are there other circumstances that may be in play ?

We are by now familiar with the old colonial practices whereby the wealth of the colony was extracted and shipped home - by any means necessary, including war, slave labour, child labour, bribery and corruption of the ruling elite.

But a case can be made that the UK itself is now being treated as a colony, and this time it's the wealth of the "middle class" population that is subjected to extraction.

Of course it's all about taxation, "our" NHS, inheritance tax (painless, at least for the deceased) and some think by money-laundering through the government to private pockets (of the central bankers?) although minor funds may be diverted to their cronies (fast-track procurement channels anybody?).

So what's new?!

Of course this is simply the latest "conspiracy theory",

If Trump can solve the diesel shortage, can he solve the fading reliability of our electrical supply?

Why is it imperilled? Are we just scare-mongering? Heaven knows we have had enough scare-mongering in recent years.

But if as we must we give credence to our government's obsession of "saving the planet" heedless of the costs and engineering implications, then Ed Miliband's tenure as Energy Tsar will have done more than enough damage to the reliability of our power supplies already, and who knows what further idiocy his replacement has in store for us?

As should we all.

If ever there was a fake democracy with an essentially toothless "Parliament", it is surely the EU.

No doubt however that after the war, national parliaments in European countries were not masters of their own affairs. How could it have been otherwise?

Yet Germany's "economic miracle" was won in defiance of the occupying power, reportedly single-handedly by a non-compliant critical thinker, Ludwig Erhard, who in defiance of the order to not change the post-war system of price controls is reputed to have responded "But I didn't change them, I abolished them". The rest was history.

Compare with the Germany of today that threw out all its power stations traditional and nuclear in favour of windmills and solar, the so-called "renewables". Yes they are renewable. but no they are neither

Now that the science of climate change has been "settled" for so long, it's refreshing to hear of a climate scientist who actually looked at the data and realised that the CO₂ effect couldn't be producing it.

So he donned his thinking cap and came up with another theory - that maybe the science isn't actually settled at all.

Clearly this counter-revolutionary strike against the climate orthodoxy cult cannot, must not be tolerated - expect enough ructions to heat global temperatures to boiling-point...

Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) was launched (under cover of Covid?) in 2023 and aims to spend lots of government money (ie: our money):

"ARIA’s distinctive features are described as Programme Director autonomy, tolerance for failure, ability to fund non-traditional applicants, and an emphasis on turning breakthroughs into real-world impact via so-called 'Activation Partners' "

Just like the Covid PPE procurement system then?

Is there any mechanism at all through which they might be held to account for their stewardship of public funds?

This is an open letter as published on Karin's Substack.

"It was never about sustainability... It is about total control of everyone, everything, the "monetisation" of everything (using a carbon credit system), on the earth, beneath it and above"

Quite so. And it doesn't even have to work as advertised - it just needs the control mechanisms to be opaque enough that they cannot be effectively challenged and corrected. When "computer says no" to our attempt to buy a pound of minced beef, or a ticket to Ryde, or a diesel car that works, etc, how are we going to complain and get it reversed?

New pastures may beckon for Sir Keir.

After all, with Russia obstinately refusing to knuckle under to plucky Ukraine (now reportedly conscripting women to swell their ever-shrinking front lines), perhaps the time is right for new leadership in NATO. And who better to take up the reins than legal eagle Sir Keir?

That should sort them out.

Still, where will they find another Labour "big beast" to plug the hole in Holborn and St Pancras constituency? After all, the biggest beast they could lay hands on last time was Andy Burnham (who?). But wait, what's his name again? Millibrain? No, that doesn't sound quite right...

David Starkey, genuine National Treasure (being one of the very few still breathing who understands the British Constitution and how we got here) holds forth at the Institute of Economic Affairs (no it's not something out of "Yes Minister") on where it all went wrong.

Plenty of food for thought here, including the clear (but unstated) idea that words are indeed spells. Well, if they act like spells, then they are indistinguishable from spells, especially when they come freighted with an assumed meaning that actually isn't appropriate to the particular usage...

Maybe we should insist that all politicians should wear a conical hat to remind us.

But judges don't get a free pass either:

It is widely agreed that science advances by the scientific method, whereby all are engaged  in the search for truth and theories stand until they fall, either to logic, or to experimentation, or to observed behaviour that improves or even disqualifies the theory.

Theories that stand the test of time gain wide acceptance but are not "proven" in the sense that they cannot possibly be improved by a better theory - that option is always recognised as a possibility.

For this process to succeed, scientists must challenge the status quo. Thus was Newton's theory of gravity displaced by maverick Albert Einstein's theories of relativity.

So one might deduce that the maverick who dares to challenge the status quo is indispensable to the advancement of true science. One might well be right, as this position is entirely logical.

I do try to avoid repeating myself ad nauseam but then along comes such a good article that it really would be shame to overlook it.

Dear Tom Forrester-Paton, yes you are a conspiracy theorist but how could you possibly be alone when there are so many conspiracies out there that everyone who actually uses that remarkable organ between their ears has to strictly ration their attention so as not to succumb to conspiracy-overload?

Corrective legislation that is.Coercive happens much more quickly, and may never get repealed, the centralised bureaucratic behemoth being what it is.
