I find this interesting. I’m reluctant to ascribe real conflict between senior, likely invisible, state holders, to the machinations we are permitted to see. It might be real. I’m not saying it’s not. But at the even bigger picture level, I struggle to accept that we’re in a truly multipolar world. Those I call the perpetrators controlled the macro opening up and expansion of China from the 1970s. Most of productive Western industry has been transferred there, way beyond any argument for cost efficiency, leading directly to Western impoverishment, which is obviously planned.

The principal evidence for that is the state of the worldwide financial system.

The level of indebtedness, in every country, is so extreme that fiat currency systems are imminently to collapse. No currency is backed by anything beyond blind trust. Such trust is no longer warranted anywhere. The derivatives complex has a numerical value orders of magnitude greater than the real economy. None of this can be viewed as inadvertent.

Read “When money dies”, by Adam Fergusson. Once confidence in the currency is lost, people desperately seek to exchange it for anything, whether they need it or not. Within weeks, perhaps even days, tbat which once served as money is no longer accepted for that purpose and become scrap paper / scrap digital entries.

All the conditions for a hyperinflationary collapse are in place and it’s only a question of when the system apparently spontaneously fails (more likely for me is a deliberately triggered collapse). There is no hiding place from the catastrophic events that will immediately follow. This cannot be accidental and is today the brink is continuously being driven towards by every government and central bank. A contagious failure of all fiat currency systems seems unavoidable and by design. I’m surprised at the order of events. I surmised some years ago that the perpetrators would have installed digital ID rather substantially before triggering fiat collapse and a phenomenon described by David Rogers Webb as “The Great Taking”, in which all the collateral in the world would be seized by the senior, preferred creditors. The “rescue” would of course be CBDC. If fiat collapse occurs without the ghastly “rescue” being immediately implementable, I have no idea whether prolonged chaos of unimaginable proportions can be avoided.

Multipolar or unipolar in disguise, we face very troubling times.

I don’t know why the end of my post here isn’t showing, at least not for me. I finished like this:

Hi Mike, Thank you for these comments.

As I see it, the structure described in Webb's "The Great Taking" essentially does not penetrate into China and Russia. China and Russia are devising and developing their own systems, while continuing to trade with the world.

Yes, mega-Finance has occupied the originally national money systems of Western countries and yes many powerful players design and game the system, but this does not change the main largest-scale world circumstances: Geopolitics is real.

The same sort of thing occurred with covid vaccines: Both Russia and China developed they own vaccines, for their own reasons in the (geopolitical) circumstances, not because they are controlled by the same overlords.

I think some folks leave reality behind when they tenuously over-extrapolate and abstract away real and hard geopolitics.

You might enjoy the refences: Rancourt (2019) and Rancourt (2026).

Thank you, Denis. My expectation is that all fiat currencies will fail together as a secondary effect of The Great Taking. I hope I’m wrong about that.

Where it comes to geopolitics, I don’t see any fundamental difference between the reaction to the fake pandemic in terms of impositions like lockdowns and masking in Russia and those in Western Europe. All the countries appear to be preparing to move to digital ID & CBDCs, just as in the West. Again, I really want this not to be as it seems.

I don’t have any reliable information about China. I don’t trust any news media. Some sources are keen for us to believe they’re well down the road of a social credit system of control. Others report that life is, if anything, freer than in the West.

Well, they appear to cooperate regarding space, Antarctica, nuclear weapons (in that they don't exist), counterterrorism, the arctic and many other things.

Okay, the really important things like football and the eurovision song contest, they've been banned from. I concede that much.

That they made their own vaccines isn't surprising - particularly China. But they certainly were broadly in lockstep with the rollout. The timings were pretty much all the same.

I wonder if much of what we assign to a conscious intent is in fact a systemic mechanism - that thus shapes thought, perception and response as dictated 'choices'.

THEY are clearly not a monolithic unconflicted unity - but will unify against a common enemy or perceived (predicted or projected) threat.

Biotech (As the novel operating system for human assets) opens it maw to receive us under the god-controllers —should we persist in its godless/loveless/joyless assumptions. Yet which can/will be framed as saviour from... the pressure of 'inescapable' inner conflicts.

A world of compounded debt-conflicts (lies given power) must reach 'tipping point' as Crises - excepting the Messengers of truth are killed such the crisis become The Driver of 'Financial leverage' as a controlled demolition on a sinking ship. IE: Someone ELSE must pay (be sacrificed) - so that 'I get my fix—or booster against loss of face, self, control and life as I am trained or conditioned to defend it'.

Extreme examples CAN serve to reveal the pattern, but are usually scapegoated as a means to mask and distance for a 'contagion'.

PS- your post was cut off for me also.

Baldmichael's avatar

Your first post was cut off for me too. It seems to be happening to long posts for some reason.

I did a survey of a factory in Sussex possible some 10-14 years now where the firm made high quality vacuum pumps for the microchip industry.

The accountants had said it would be cheaper for these to be made in South Korea so the factory was being closed and the too making machines were being dismantled and shipped out there.

The engineer I spoke to said he had had to go out there to show the South Koreans how to operate the machines which being second hand no longer operated on original factory settings but had to be fine-tuned.

Apparently he had had to go back as the workers kept reverting to factory settings which meant the high precision parts no longer were accurately produced.

It seems insane and of course good local engineering skills get lost.

Czechia had an election in the fall, which produced a coalition of parties that are more or less aligned with the better-known policies of Orban in Hungary and Fico in Slovakia. They quite harshly oppose the EU's Green Deal, militarization, and the other usual suspect. Perhaps it's a harbinger of the fact that people have had enough and common sense will now prevail, but we shall see how the situation develops.

Worth noting, however, is that on his first day in office, the new Environment Minister issued the statement "The climate crisis has ended today".

My guess, well hope, is that the propaganda has become so phantasmagorically unreal that people will come to their senses and massively reject all these patent idiocies. I think that Trump's election and policies - notwithstanding whether or not they make sense and what the sense might be - has empowered people who previously kept quiet to speak up, and the tide is now turning.

'People' have no senses to go to. That's my reality and frustration after almost eight decades of existence. The only thing that keeps the human organization from its end is the rise of an occasional Donald J. Trump.

Indeed. What could go wrong? "Octavian's Principle: Power only respects the laws when its own position is threatened. What this means: In 27 BC, Octavian (later Augustus) pretended to restore the Roman Republic after years of civil war. He made symbolic power the Senate, which immediately granted him supreme authority (imperium maius) while allowing senators to retain their titles and ceremonies. Key tactic: He invoked constitutions, traditions, and "republican values" only when his rivals challenged his dominance. During the expansion of power, laws were flexible tools. Modern translation: Leaders defend rules, rights, and institutions only when their personal power, reputation, or secrets are at risk."

It's winter where I live and 16 degrees this morning with no snow. There is expected snow tomorrow (about an inch) and colder temps through the end of the week nearing zero for lows. All perfectly normal since this is winter. No global warming is evident in the remotest...so the climate fanatics, ghoulish governments and Dr. gates can go to hell.

Cheque Book Science: A Note

The Met Office has not been free to tell the truth since 1997. As a former senior government ‘suit’ involved in the restructuring of research in the UK I explain why…

I attach a screen capture that got my back up. The good news is that, judging by the comments, folk aren’t swallowing this. So let me spill a few ‘insider’ beans and tell a bit of my story…

A Bit Of My Story

As a postgraduate fast stream entrant to the UK scientific civil service back in 1985 I worked my way to the position of Principal Scientific Officer (PSO) within 6 years. For those not familiar with what a PSO was and did, in a nutshell, we were the backbone of research across the UK. We developed scientific staff to the level of senior government scientist, we were responsible for national research budgets, we awarded contracts to universities and institutions, we were voices in the SERC that was, we acted as peers for peer-reviewed publications, we gave interviews to the press/TV as departmental spokespersons, we headed-up a portfolio of research and we led teams/sections.

Many of us, like myself, were responsible for formulating government policy, assisting with the preparation of Acts of Parliament and subsequent Statutory Instruments, along with input on green and white papers. In conjunction with Assistant Secretaries we provided direct support for Departmental Ministers, Secretaries of State and Under-Secretaries of State. As a result of restructuring of the entire civil service during the early ‘90s PSOs and their executive counterparts (PEOs) became known as G7s (unified grade 7).

All this meant we got to hear what the public (including big name journalists) will never get to hear, with pretty much everything classified as confidential, and with some rather sensitive aspects classified all the way to secret and top secret. As a former ‘suit’ behind closed doors at the highest levels of government it would be tempting to write my memoirs in full but I’d like to spend my retirement at home rather than in an open prison!

With that background in mind I want to roll the clock back to 1988 when I became a Senior Scientific Officer (SSO) working under my PSO and got involved with the juicy stuff for the first time. Back then major UK research establishments were voted money from the public purse to carry out research as they saw fit. Directors of establishments directed streams of research for the good of the nation in consultation with their PSOs and were given the funds to do so. But all that changed.

Privatisation Of Research

During the ‘90s the government effectively privatised the entire national research effort by making all establishments ‘agencies’, with some taking the further step of becoming private companies. Voting of funds from the public purse en bloc was axed and in its place came customer held budgets (CHB), the customer usually being a G7 policy head. In the beginning policy heads shrank from the task since they hadn’t the expertise to formulate and direct research, so they simply handed the money over to their science-side G7s as before. This didn’t last long under Major’s regime; the club came down and CHBs became a cudgel. It is important to understand that with CHBs scientists don’t get to direct the science they undertake – the policy ‘suit’ does this.

At first policy suits were rather reasonable but that soon changed. It was made very clear that policy suits were to fund research that should support the government’s position and only the government’s position. Scientific research ‘proper’ was no longer permitted. To give you an example my establishment, as an agency, went from spending £50 million per year on scientist-led science to just £50k per year, with the remainder going to support government policies. When we became a private company that £50k dropped to zero since we were then in the business of chasing cash as a management-owned business 24/7/365. No cash, no business.

Cabinet Office Meetings

During these turbulent times for funding a series of high level meetings were held at the Cabinet Office to which all directors of research establishments were invited to attend. My director asked me to attend on his behalf because at that time I was being groomed for ‘big things’ – and he trusted me at a time when you had to watch your back. These meetings were rolled out as a sweetener to facilitate the change to CHBs because, as you can imagine, senior government scientists were livid.

As the series of Cabinet meetings rolled along it became very clear that the government under Major wasn’t to be messed with. Behind closed doors entire establishments were threatened with closure, this being made possible by transfer of contracts under CHB to alternative organisations willing to obey. “There are plenty of universities and private companies willing to do this work” was one such threat, and neither was the threat restricted to competition within the UK, with both Météo-France and Deutscher Wetterdienst willing to step in and do the UK Met Office out of a job.

Cheque Book Science

Anger amongst the directors turned to anxiety as they realised they had no choice but to comply with Major’s Thatcherite hatchet. Scientist-led science within the UK was to die a death whether we liked it or not. We called it cheque book science, and it was pretty depressing. During this time rather lucrative early retirement packages were offered to those aged 54 years and above and many of our most experienced scientists ran for the door leaving youngsters like myself.

And so - over plates of ham and cheese sandwiches during lunch break - myself, the director for the Building Research Establishment, two directors for something else and the Director-General of the Met Office had a quiet word about matters. We knew that Blue Skies research was at an end and we knew that we’d be directed to produce what would be tantamount to propaganda in support of government policies both good and bad. After listening and chomping the DG of the Met said something I’ll never forget, he said, “it’s very simple: we give the customer exactly what they want.” We knew there and then that the Met Office was going to cop out, yet it had to do so to survive. What you see today is a relic masquerading as the real thing. But they won’t admit this, of course; they dare not!

The Customer Is Always Right

And what did the ‘customer’ want? Well, back then behind closed doors we knew that anthropogenic warming was nonsense, but the government wished to use it as a lever to push forward some radical policies. Overtly signalled as energy security policies they were, in fact, a raft of draconian economic reforms designed to maintain the status quo for the privileged few under deteriorating market conditions.

Over drinks I learned from mouthy policy ‘suits’ that green energy policies were to be pursued to provide investment opportunities in the mid-term. The long-term aim was 100% nuclear, with (planned) failure of green and renewable energy being the club to soften the public into acceptance of an unacceptable energy source. Thatcher’s priority was energy security and for her this meant energy sovereignty and that meant nuclear. Major simply took up the baton.

Back then we didn’t appreciate the power of social and legacy media as conditioners of public thought and opinion but these, in truth, have made the job of the suits much easier. So here we are today with the public clamouring for what will eventually be their own unpleasant downfall. Job done.

Quoting : The geopolitical transformation that is the emergence of a multi-polar world and the loss of USA hegemony, coupled with intense elite USA infighting between Big Finance and Big Tech (Varoufakis, 2024), is causing the death of globalist generic ideologies seeded in the early 1990s (notably the climate change ideology).......

The said globalist generic ideologies are hardly ever opposed in China and Russia. In fact, they're apparently more challenged in the West than over there. This is said as an observation, without implying that China and Russia are some kind of asiatic despotisms on board of an insidious Bondian SPECTRE. Rather, my tentative theory, supported by observations, is that China and Russia are still under a considerable degree of cultural colonialism: that's noticeable in their media, education systems, economic "thought," employment practices....

And regarding "the emergence of a multi-polar world," let's avoid turning that meme into a new dogma. One can argue against the reality and even the possibility of such a thing, as is done by Yan Xuetong.

Quoting: Maybe geoscientists are finding it more and more difficult not to revolt against absurd claims? Maybe ordinary folks can no longer tolerate being blamed for weather? All these are potential factors.......

I would be very happy to see even traces of evidence for those things. I just don't see them!!

Annette Jordan's avatar

I would hazard to guess that the climate change narrative became inconvenient when the reality of the resources required to sustain the gigantic AI data centers became apparent. Although, one can't help but to wonder why it hadn't already been known to the elites, who seem to carefully plan out their schemes many years in advance. Maybe they are not as all-powerful and omnipotent as they would have us believe.

A scam can only run so far. As a securitised narrative it ran under the protection of the Corporatised Big Lie - but the cost of protecting lies is sacrifice of truth. How much can be allowed to waste and be wasted before the need to switch stories?

Such gain of fiction sought by lies is set to attack, deny or sacrifice others as if to gain thereby.

But what profiteth a man to gain such a 'world' at cost of Wholeness?

The addiction to a sense of self-lack is compelled to align in 'power' as he or she wished it to be. Mind traps don't 'tell you' you've been phished - excepting by their fruits - honestly recognised. Hence the mind is defended against recognising truth by fear of pain of loss.

Any man who that thinks he understands this world is an idiot.

But explaining the globalists is easy:

It’s a leveraged buyout of the world with fiat currency.

Backed by weapons that will turn you to dust.

… Which is why we fight.

Binra's avatar

Fiat is another term for by law.

It is not that fait is a false basis for a currency of excahnge within a realm or domain — but that the usurp of the law has effectively put money creation in the hands of gaslighting racketeers who are adept at accusing their sins in others - such as to instigate the measures that then give themselves effective insider leverage over government, law or institutional and corporate endeavour.

The 'globalist' doesn't need to buy the world, but merely to frame the regulatory structure in such a way as to gain effective control over it.

I also include the mind we think that we think with in the larger sense of 'regulatory structure'.

to 'fight against' deceit - but first become aware of its devices.

The Idiot is everywhere to be found - I wont exempt myself in the terms of a mad world. But then turn from folly to seek wisdom - why not?

I agree with a good deal of what you say and can rightly be called a "fan", but to place "gender fluidity" in the same league as profoundly world-altering issues like pandemic preparedness/mass vaccination and climate change alarmism is to succumb to a cultural hysteria.

Gay rights and trans rights arose in the past sixty or so years in opposition to peripheral doctrines of organized religions which marginalized, oppressed, repressed a segment of all populations everywhere (and throughout the timeline of human civilization) and are very real.

Unfortunately these struggles become a political football and a culture war battle. Proponents take them to absurd degrees which promote backlash and tend to destroy hard fought and necessary gains, and opponents use them as justification for reactionary cruelty.

Yes, there are people who need to take the rather grave step of hormone treatment to stand a chance of fitting in to the prevailing condition of society. And, yes, in the waves of the battle a lot more people have been getting these treatments than should have. But it will settle down eventually -- it will.

And the great underlying issue is medical freedom. There is no medical freedom when it's "for me but not for thee". The freedom to accept vaccination or refuse it, the freedom to use hormones or not. Informed consent.

'Pandemic preparedness' involving mass vaccination is driven by the tremendously lucrative ambitions of investor owned mercantile corporations. 'Climate change mitigation' is a staggering, unprecedented investment opportunity. There's no stopping it. But I have a hard time seeing how gender fluidity, which generates trivial amounts of financial impact, plays into this picture apart from having become, due to the culture wars, an inflated object of people's attention.

Binra's avatar

The weaponisation of any suppressed need, grievance or agenda is quite another level to the specific instances of such an agenda.

The destruction of 'Family' is a long term target so as to transfer traditional patterns of social organisation and responsibility to state controls and dependencies.

You cant see the water you are being boiled in.

The use of 'rights' set by arbitrary state (enforced) permissions to lure the susceptible and gullible into a racket is just par for the course.

What is it being USED for is thus a reality - while what it ostensibly masks as or claims to be can run as camouflage or deceit.

The ability to 'shape the world' is no small temptation to those who actually can and do, and in a sense MUST, because if they lose that position, they will be held culpable for crimes of unimaginable scale - and yet the structure of the hierarchy of control ensures - for the most part - that only turf wars shift respective focus within the 'insider-elites'.

I don't think it wise to consider any of the racketeering deceits piecemeal or in isolation - so looking to underlying context - or 'common purpose' underlying a masking agenda is a more fundamental place to lay axe to the beanstalk.

But what is such context but of ideas that gain traction and are given funding and protection? There are psychic undercurrents to cultural movements - and those run within our own sphere of responsibility.

The weaponising of selected 'victims' to leverage polarising identity runs a deep and pervasive deceit. The AIDS agenda was a significant Operation - that offers an ';intersection' of virus-contagion-fear with coercive shock treatment (mind-control).

Yes profits lube the Operation, but the gain of function is ratcheting of systemic controls - of the very 'language and mind' we think with and assume to be our own.

No, it’s not. It’s hubristic nonsense to even imagine our paltry activities could heat up the entire realm, whatever its form.

Yes it is....The fuel burn in this epoch is not "paltry" it is large and significant.

The Climate Change narrative is positioned and worthy to be debunked...the prestige in that setup is that in that debunking, the REALITY of global warming is subliminally and wrongfully debunked.

And when it comes to "Hubris" ..I can remember when Nemesis visited a man, who for years believed in viruses.

Dr Mike Yeadon's avatar

There is not even consistent warming of any note. There is not only no causal link between atmospheric CO2 concentrations and mean surface temperature but the cause & effect relationship has been deliberately inverted. It is temperature change that drives change in atmospheric CO2. Elevated atmospheric CO2 is not of man’s doing & in any case is an unalloyed good, serving to assist agricultural production and spontaneous increase in foliage, most notably in drier areas. Plants in arid regions require less water to grow well in the presence of increased CO2.

poetinapaperbag's avatar

So global warming isn't real but, if it was it would be good for agriculture?

.......Do you even understand ambience physics?

Your education and "knowledge" regarding atmospheric physics, seems as inducted as it was on virus physics, fortunately the penny dropped on that misinformation, didn't it?

.........Anthropogenic, Emissions related global warming is real.

The "Climate Change" narrative was inserted to be deliberately debunked with the purpose of subliminally dismissing the reality of Anthropogenic, Global Warming.

​"This is a prime example of why we need to look higher up for answers. According to the AIO (African Injection Oscillation) model, these extreme tropospheric events are not isolated; they are a direct result of the stratosphere acting as the 'creator' and primary driver.

​My research shows that 70 hPa humidity levels (specifically around the 60% threshold) create a 'stratospheric press' that dictates these surface dynamics. While most models focus on warm waters or surface temps, the AIO model identifies the stratosphere as the primordial force behind these powerful storms and blockages.

​I've been documenting these correlations for the 2026 season, and the data consistently points to this stratospheric forcing as the lead indicator."

Denis's writing on UN seeded geopolitical agenda prompted a personal reflection. I graduated with an engineering degree in 2007 and was keen to see and live in the wider world. I signed up with Engineers Without Borders (EWB), Canada and was sent to Malawi to support a tropical agriculture project to do with cassava propagation.

Long story short, the work went nowhere helpful. Later, I did do some interesting and fun private sector working (baobab fruit, money transfers). But it took some years, and a timely reading of the Anti-Politics Machine by James Ferguson, for me to realize it was all an utter sham, this Canada-funded international development.

Now, reading more from Denis, it's an odd feeling to realize I got caught up in geopolitics myself, surely in a very minute way, but caught up all the same, in the redirection of energy and effort into channels that are meant to serve American imperialism. Not a warm fuzzy feeling, but not entirely unwelcome either. Better to know, even belatedly, than to be ignorant, however comfortable it may be.

I am pretty sure that the climate hoax is a front for massive wealth transfer and the brainwashing of people (not to mention the fear-mongering). The easy way for one to understand how quickly this is a hoax is just watching corporate actions. They don't end the use of single-use plastic. They don't end the use of plastic bags. They don't embrace folks working from home, even though it's proven to work fine. No, they use up resources and they claim they are "sustainable" anyway.

AI is gobbling up water to the point where it's already threatening the Great Lakes. How is that "sustainable"? Sustainability is like the Global Warming's little brother. It's the big virtue signal these corporations think they can just toss out and be done with it. But anyone with a brain in their heads knows it's all just for show.

If we're at peak oil why is gasoline still relatively cheap? Compared to sky-rocketing food costs that is.

If we're in "climate crisis" - where did the word "warming" go? Cooling trends are being measured globally. So, they changed from warming to crisis, convenient isn't it?
