A Complex Hybrid War Waged Since 2014

Image
People need to stop referring to Russia’s ongoing hybrid warfare against the U.S.  as “election m eddling.” Putin isn’t a “Karen” sticking his nose in America’s democratic process. He’s a mob boss who runs a nuclear-armed mafia state and his goal is to destroy the United States. twitter.com/AlexandraChalup/status/1275609244352614400  The post-Trump, post-Crooked Tories fightbacks will need to entail pushing back against the current state-of-affairs very strongly for many years to come.  The US may have strong enough structure and institutions, security apparatus to achieve this, despite past "events", but UK may be too late to bring this about, assuming it's government has been too badly compromised, corrupted and weakened. a) Foreign Affairs (2020), "The Rise of Strategic Corruption: How States Weaponize Graft", July/August 2020: www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/united-states/2020-06-09/rise-strategic-corruption "Meanwhile, because of the dere

A Couple of Pricks go on Holiday

The inconsistencies and hypocrisy deeply inherent within the early 21st century English "Tory mindset" as it struggles manfully with the severe discrepancies present between what it  says , that which it  does  and what it truly  believes. Both of these men are complete and utter pricks of the highest order, but in totally different and very creative ways. www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jul/28/times-tense-grant-shapps-family-holiday-then-spanish-pm-rang Times were tense on the Shapps' family holiday, then the Spanish PM rang... | John Crace | Politics | The Guardian A fitful night’s sleep hadn’t eased the tension in the Shapps’ family compound in the south of Spain.Conversation was limited to a few terse exchanges as Grant started packing his bags for ... www.theguardian.com Also, on a related note, someone called Stephen Yaxley-Lennon aka "Tommy Robinson, an anti-Islam activist who had a lot of capable professional support in making h

The Century of the Self and The Revolution of Truth

Image
T he current corrupt UK Govt. regime in power is mocking scientists and messing about with official data. They seem to want to destroy confidence in all institutions that threaten their world view and serve the public. It is almost impossible to be too cynical about the people currently running the UK . The revolution that we shall see from the current battle shall be a peaceful one, a Revolution of Truth . “In a time of universal deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act”   – George Orwell (1903-1950). It is always interesting that over-simplifying in conjunction with attempts to shift truth and deny factual reality are usually illustrative of attempts to alter thinking processes with specific or general intent(s) in mind. It has become a second nature PR trick in so many different areas and modes of persuasion. As a counter to those who attempt to control from the moral unprincipled wastelands of the political right but do not always have the weaponry and techni

British Empire 2.0

Empire 2.0 is to be entirely Web-based, understated "Pirates" theme with minimal onshore locations required, just a few pretty islands/archipelagos [?] with some wildlife, nice birds and so on, yacht marina obv. maybe the odd beach for Pina Colada & cocaine time. But no wait. Hey! Kauai would be good with a decent escort agency, maybe an Aleutian Island (Umnak?) with fast broadband? Perhaps a Heads of Agreement could be thrashed out and there may be discussions laters. Let's see. Not sure the proud unbroken English royal bloodline (or whatever) which goes back to some date or other (6th Century) will fully survive globally circulating images of two celeb. child abusers sitting on a pair of superb Royal Thrones, having been invited to by a third celebratory child-abuser of Royal blue blood (N.B. Of course it will survive in a new glowing Libertarian socialist-free island-state run as a digi-money throughfare laundromat for the globe! So proud). Let us be sure Quee
