It’s a story that seemed to suddenly blow up out of nowhere. And it resulted in Pritti Patel being called back from Nairobi to meet with the Prime Minister – after which she immediately resigned from office. The reason, we are told, was a breach of protocol – Patel had failed to inform the appropriate […]
Official British events to mark the centennary of the Balfour Declaration could be seen as questionable, to say the least. Theresa May’s commitment to the commemorations were promised to Benjamin Netanyahu some time ago – regardless of the fact that the it will leave a bitter taste in the mouths of many or that we’re […]
So, a few quick notes on the apparent terror attack/incident in New York. As usual, this entirely could’ve been a straight-up ISIS-inspired, low-tech, ‘lone wolf’ attack. And, as usual, maybe not. The apparent perpetrator, Sayfullo Saipov – an Uzbek national – apparently shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ and left a note explaining that the act was carried […]
As expected and predicted, the danger of further conflict in both Iraq and the Middle East has become apparent again – this time centering on the issue of the Kurdish situation in Iraq. In effect, it looks like the seeds for the next problem were already bearing fruit behind the surface of the ‘ISIS’ conflict. […]

Presently, a lot of coverage has been given to two independence referendums in different parts of the globe: one in Spain and one in Iraq. Both referendums also have things in common.

Watching news coverage of events in Venezuela, you would be forgiven for thinking you’d been transported back in time to the Arab Spring – except this is happening on the other side of the globe. But almost all of what appears to be happening in the Latin American country seems to be resemble a carbon […]
What really is going on with North Korea? Why has it been making threats that – if carried out – could only result in the regime’s destruction? Why has President Trump been making over-the-top threats about “fury and fire” such as “the world has never seen” (he also did so on the anniversary of the […]
In the article on the Charlottesville unrest and the broader issues of sectarian rifts and societal breakdown, I wrote about the possible psy-op properties and divide-and-conquer strategy being applied. I also wrote that ‘our hope should be that the majority of people are more intelligent and discerning than that and will refuse to get drawn […]
I hadn’t initially given much thought to the vehicle/terror attack/massacre in Barcelona; aside from it basically feeling like ‘business as usual’ for Europe in this terror-dominated spell of the twenty-first century. And also aside from thinking that the attack in Barcelona happened at the right time to try to divert some of the attention from […]
