Venezuela, Gaddafi, the Bank of England & Why You Can’t Own Your Gold…

As the multi-layered manuevering in regard to Venezuela continues, it was reported a couple of days ago that the Bank of England has taken actions in line with Washington’s lead. The Bank of England has refused to hand over $1.2 billion of Venezuelan gold back to the Venzuelan government. Above is a clip from RT […]

VENEZUELA: How to Starve a Nation into Submission…

So it looks like US military intervention in Venezuela might be on the cards. Certainly, with Washington and other Western governments now officially recognising someone other than the sitting president as the legitimate leader, it’s hard to see how there won’t have to be some kind of forced conflict to finalise that arrangement: if it […]

Private Armies, the ‘Prince’ of Peace & the New World Order Rabbit-Hole…

You know, sometimes you start out with a simple question. And you start exploring for possible answers to that question; only to end up falling down a deeper rabbit-hole than you had expected. Then you just end up with more questions. A lot of coverage was given to Donald Trump’s decision apparently to announce withdrawal […]

‘HR 221’: NAOMI WOLF on the Bill No One in the Media is Talking About…

I’m not going to add much of my own to this, because it’s unnecessary. Naomi Wolf – one of the very best researchers and independent journalists out there – thorougly explains the matter in this video and discusses its implications. Media, as far as I can tell, has said absolutely nothing about this: Naomi is […]

YEMEN: The Humanitarian Catastrophe That Just Doesn’t Matter…

Alright, so I’ve neglected to touch on this subject for a very long time. I did cover it in March 2015 when the catastrophe started (and sporadically since then), but I’ve generally neglected it. Not because I don’t care: but because I find this subject so upsetting, so dispiriting, that I can’t bring myself to […]

Strasborg & the ‘Christmas Attack’: Who Benefits…?

So the shooting/attack in Strasborg at the Christmas Market. It doesn’t really need much thinking to go into this, but I’m giving it a go partly for Mark from Truthscoop: because he pointed out that hardly anyone appears to have spoken about this particular ‘act of terror’ in any sceptical terms. He’s right: but I’ve […]

The ‘YELLOW VESTS’ Protest – And How It is Being Misrepresented…

I’ve been a little late focusing on the ‘Yellow Vest’ protests or strikes in France. But it seems to me, given a cursory reading of various sources, like a legitimate, mass expression of dissatisfaction with the French establishment politicians. A lot of people in France are fed up and have decided to group together to […]

BRAZIL: From Rousseff to Bolsonaro – A Demonstration of How the Old Elites Win…

The rise of Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil seems to be further proof that pretty much the entire planet is moving in a counter-clockwise direction. Almost everywhere you look, there seems to be the sense that the Bad Guys are in the ascendancy: and that – far from opposing it – very large sections of populations […]
