“Love your enemies.”
Jesus Christ
“I hate my opponent and I don’t want the best for them.”
President Trump
“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend… Love has within it a redemptive power…and this is why Jesus says love. There’s something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies.”
Martin Luther King Jr

Connoscription is coming
Are you Army-fit? Advertisements everywhere, on the internet, on the sides of buses, on the radio and in cinemas, implore people to contact an armed forces recruitment office. And they don’t only want young people. The government intends to extend the age of connoscription – should that be needed – to 65. Recent retirees on company or public sector pensions will be expected to don khaki, perhaps joining a reformed brigade at Walmington-on-Sea.
If this sounds ludicrous, and if you believe that the British public would refuse to step into line as cannon fodder, think again. European leaders are…...

From the Rothschilds to Bohemian Grove, the MSM rushes to prove us right. Again.
Just yesterday afternoon we published a piece headlined “Epstein and the coming “age of accountability” psy-op”, which argued that the Epstein files are being used to tell a story of faux-accountability for the ruling class.

Let’s talk about…War with Iran
Last night, the US and Israeli air forces reportedly carried out strikes on targets all over Iran, allegedly in response to stalled talks on Iran’s nuclear program and the on-going civil unrest that has been blamed (somewhat unbelievably) for tens of thousands of deaths.
Donald Trump is calling the people of Iran to “rise up”.
Iran has already carried out retaliatory strikes across the Middle East including Israel and US air bases in a handful of countries.

Keir Starmer’s Questionable Child Protection History
We are told that the UK government is led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer and that he is a “decent man”. After more than 82% of the electorate did not vote for either Starmer or the Labour party, his government secured a whopping 170+ seat majority. It can do pretty much anything it likes while it keeps its backbenchers in line.
The current Labour government, under Starmer, has not only failed to protect children when it could, but it has actively opposed others’ attempts to do so. Such morally repugnant behaviour is nothing new for the…...

War in Iran and the Great Reset
The War in Iran is already pushing The Great Reset agenda forward, as every major narrative seems to do.
Iran is threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz, or already has, or can’t because their navy was destroyed, or is closing it for everyone but China.
It’s all rather unclear.
What IS clear is that vast amounts of shipping carrying millions of barrels of oil and gas passes through that stretch of water every day, and its closure – or even threatened closure – has serious implications for the price of energy, fertilizer, food…well, everything really.

A History in 4 Psy-Ops: Has Iran has ALWAYS Been a Member of the Club?
When the war with Iran officially began on Saturday, I annoyed quite a few people by replying to James Delingpole on twtter with this comment:
I stand by it. In fact I can amplify it.
There’s ample evidence to show we’re already living in the post-nation age, and this was made explicitly clear by the Covid “pandemic”. Iran’s vital, early role in the Covid operation is one of the facts that most strongly requires us to be cautious about the current war narrative , but it’s a development that likely predates that era-defining psy-op.

We have been given a compass (moral compass, and intuition), so we do have something to guide us through this mystery, but we don’t know who gave us this compass, and we cannot prove in material terms its existence or reliability.

For much of humanity’s existence, our traditional worldview or cosmos was based on sacred, reciprocal relationships with the land and governed by natural seasons and localised community rhythms. What we are currently seeing, however, is an accelerated shift from a physical universe rooted in seasons and community to a virtual one mediated by screens and platforms.
In this new world order, human experience is mediated by mobile apps and predictive algorithms that convert human actions into data points. At the same time, spontaneous ‘messy’ human interaction is engineered away in favour of a sterile, predictable environment. This system encloses…...
