Well, that didn't last long did it?

All nicely tied up to Putin's undoubted satisfaction - game set and match I would suggest.

Can we believe what we are being told in the papers?

Russia weak, his generals outclassed, his defence minister out of his depth (Heavens above! - are we sure they aren't projecting too much from EU experience?).

One thing we really ought to have learned from recent years is that we can't take anything we are being told at face value.

"Did Putin bribe Prigozhin to back down?" was one headline I noticed this morning. That idea is just so risible I don't know were to start.

So let's look at it from a different point of view. Instead of thinking "East vs West" "Russia vs Ukraine"

The Universe seems to be nothing if not interlinked in the most surprising ways.

Music of the Spheres? Not quite, but Music of the Platonic Solids? And more?

Well, now you're talking...

Events are moving fast and it would appear that Wagner group leader Prigozhin has declared war on President Putin.

And has invaded Russia, apparently to march on Moscow.

Unherd reports.

Simplicius the Thinker reports.

All as clear as mud currently. It could all be an information war psy-op, although that seems unlikely.

Prigozhin is reported to be claiming that he is not abandoning the war in the Ukraine, although how he can wage two wars simultaneously against both NATO in the Ukraine and Putin in Russia is unclear to say the least. Unless he can get the Russian armed

What does the future hold?

If the conspiracy theorists are right, the world with it's so-called "permanent institutions" won't look much like it did yesterday...

... and the future may arrive sooner than we think.

Are we ready?

Is it even possible to be ready?

It's been obvious for some time that this is no way to fight a war.

If you can't beat them, sue them - for peace. That should have been done long ago, and now Russia may be in no mood for negotiation because negotiation requires goodwill, and NATO has expended whatever it had in that regard as well as most other regards.

This is likely to be a fight to the finish unless NATO falls first (my viewpoint). If NATO falls, Ukraine will agree terms. Any terms.

"This offensive has no legitimate military objective - because you can't achieve it"

"You can't use the same formula that's already failed"

"What happens when they get annihilated?"

"NATO will never beat Russia"

"We don't have the military capacity to defeat Russia in a

Sandi Adams of Glastonbury Council fame, interviewed by Brian Gerrish of UK Column, explains her view of current developments (some might say undevelopments) which appear locally but which seem to emanate (via various obscure routes) from UN Agenda 2030.

Whilst Agenda 2030 is discussed at UN level, or even at national level, Joe Citizen doesn't take much notice, but when it comes into Joe's own backyard he sits up and takes notice. 

And it is now coming into our backyards everywhere.

The countryside's farmers are going to be replaced by countryside management - but management on behalf of whom? One thing seems for sure, it won't be for those who actually live on the land.

Nigel Farage comments on matters economical, political, and common-sensical (not much of that last one about these days).

Like him or loathe him, he is still one of that vanishing breed of politicians that do manage to keep their tabs on reality, and he can be entertaining with it. It's just a pity he got thrown out of the EU parliament, even if that was more or less by his own hand. Still, his absence therefrom has left a void which others (notably Christine Anderson et al) have stepped forward to fill with great success.

Oh yes, and Poland really is becoming just as uppity as Hungary... something to do with being hosts to the hosts from their neighbouring Ukraine that find war in their homeland unconducive to civilised life.

Enough! On with the show!

"Sustainable" is the watchword of the United Nations and its coterie of panels, organisations, partners, hangers-on, philanthropaths, bought-and-paid-for "scientists", multinational QUANGOS, and other dubiously-minded oligarchs and think-tanks.

They are legion, they are diplomatically immune, they are as one with the "beautiful people" of the entertainment industries, and likewise as one with the global media moguls. Astonishingly, they are as one with the world leaders of nearly every nation, with one Klaus Schwab openly boasting of "penetrating the cabinet" of far-flung "democracies". Shouldn't democracies be choosing their own leaders?

But one mountain remains to be climbed - they are not yet as one with the people.

The people for whom they profess the expertise to micromanage us to the nth degree, to modify planet and people to make both "sustainable", to direct the future as they see fit. The evidence is above us in the artificial jet-trails that

In August last year we featured Arthur Firstenberg's newsletter concerning the destruction of bird colonies on Texel island (Netherlands).

Of course it was attributed to the deadly "bird flu" (be very afraid) but equally of course no alternative explanation was officially considered by the authorities, despite the coincidental arrival of brand new 5G masts on Texel.

This year there is good news...  but equally, the problem has not gone away, merely morphed according to topology and intensity.

But if "bird flu" is a fiction, what of human flu and all the other multitudinous "flu-like" indispositions that may from time to time affect us?

A lot of bad news, logical analysis and good sense arrived in my inbox this morning from "Down Under".

It's sad but predictable, another straw in the wind of advancing change.

Perhaps our world really is being trashed at all levels civilisational, with everything that we associate with an advanced society which encourages independence, self-reliance, and inquisitive enquiry being shut down in addition to all essentials naturally productive, such as power, industry, farming, and unspoiled habitat.

Worth reading.

Yes, there's no escaping the inimitable Richard Vobes.

Here he is exploring yet another aspect of the human condition that we don't normally think about, but which could for some, perhaps for many, bring resolution to problems which we might previously have considered too deep-seated and too little understood to be properly addressed.

Touching isn't really a part of today's everyday life - and I guess that that's one reason for the popularity of dogs and cats - our pets are almost the only living beings (apart from spouses) that it's OK for us to touch and play with.

Add in our traditional British reserve - and indeed aloofness - and it's clear that we have obstacles to overcome before we in the UK can get tactile.

Helen Prosper from 'A Touch of Gentleness' explains, and there's more to it than we might expect!

A fascinating presentation.

If you can't debate them, ridicule them.

The Climate Alarmists are an anti-intellectual lot who prefer to insist that "the science is settled" rather than to debate the issue, even though climate science is quite possibly the most complex topic in the universe, and if it really was settled then man would already rival God in the intellectual stakes.

Maybe they think that the IPCC is God, I don't know.

Still, John Robson of Climate Discussion Nexus reports on one of the many holes in climate theology in his usual entertaining manner.

Worth a look (as is all his work).

Our schools are apparently bending over backwards to accommodate the self-identity preferences of school-kids, no matter how unusual.

It is reported that there has been some brouhaha over the desire of one young lady to self-identify as a cat. She was (reportedly) supported by her teacher who strongly disagreed with another class member who considered the cat identity ridiculous, and insisted that her unusual identity is perfectly valid and acceptable. 

Now most people would probably think that this is all a lot of nonsense that should be firmly squashed, the girls and boys should be firmly told that they are human, and that's an end of it.

But although everybody is getting mighty steamed up about all this, I think the cat-girl is absolutely

Ex-colonies (some might think still "soft power" colonies) in Africa and elsewhere now have a choice of financiers who will help them exploit their minerals for their own benefit. Also by forming regional partnerships with their like-minded neighbours, they can move away from dependence on western currencies for trade. Change is afoot.

Are they jumping from the frying pan into the fire? Or will the future bring real improvements? Time will tell, but maybe the Africans will get a better deal and the West may or may not. After all, peaceful cooperation is inherently better than strife in almost all respects.

Redacted review the peace talks of yesteryear that followed the initial Russian limited military operation.

Mr Putin now confirms that agreement was reached at those talks... until UK prime minister Johnson visited Kiev and allegedly told Mr Zelenskyy not to finalize the peace.

If that is true, then Mr Johnson has hundreds of thousands of dead on his hands.

"... what am I being manipulated to not like... "

Propaganda and war are fundamentally inextricable.

None of this amounts to proof of anything, so it's back to our personal intuition.

Nor did we know that we were in the front line.

"The absurdity and stupidity is what causes you to disengage with caring about your government - this is intentional"

If you think this only applies to the US, think again. The US-UK "special relationship" is/was indeed special, and preferably not explicit. 

Now we find that all of NATO is involved, and the UN, and the WEF... but perhaps that last was an overreach too far.
