If The Wars Go On

I suppose my title could have been couched in the singular form, as Hermann Hesse, the Nobel Prize winning German/Swiss author, did with his collection of anti-war essays about World War I (the war to end all wars that didn’t), If The War Goes On . . .

Or more appropriately, I might have eliminated that conditional “If” since it seems Pollyannish.

It’s a long hard road, this anti-war business. During the first Cold War and the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis in the early sixties when Kennedy and Krushchev narrowly avoided blowing the world to smithereens, Bob…...

WATCH: The Rwandan Genocide Is A Lie

Everyone has heard of the Rwandan genocide of 1994. But everything you have heard about the so-called “hundred days” is either a distortion, a misrepresentation or a downright lie. That lie is still being used to perpetuate myths about the value of interventionism.

In this incredibly important episode of The Corbett Report podcast, James does honour to the dead by breaking the staff of misinformation that the liars use to cast their spell on the public.

Get Up, Stand Up, Don’t Give Up the Fight: Know Your Rights or You Will Lose Them

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”
Thomas Jefferson

If America’s schools are to impart principles of freedom and democracy to future generations, they must start by respecting the constitutional rights of their students.

Take the case of Lucas Hudson.

With all the negative press being written about today’s young people, it’s refreshing to meet a young person who not only knows his rights but is prepared to stand up for them.

Lucas is a smart kid, a valedictorian of his graduating…...

This Week in the New Normal #91

Our successor to This Week in the Guardian, This Week in the New Normal is our weekly chart of the progress of autocracy, authoritarianism and economic restructuring around the world.

1. Climate Gaslighting Continues

Last month, we were told, was the warmest April on record. When there was a groundswell of people saying “No it wasn’t”, the Telegraph went full gaslight with this headline:

Cold April may be all in your head

Today we’re in the exact same position again, with Sky News reporting it was the warmest May on record:…...

Sars-Cov2 Origins – “Gain of Function” or “Claim of Function”?

“I would rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned.”
Richard P. Feynman

A thorough review of the available evidence suggests that the emergence of a novel engineered virus is the least likely explanation for the event known as the ‘covid pandemic’.

Notably:

- The discovery of ‘novel’ viruses is a function of how determined we are to find them – the more we look the more we find, suggesting that the attribution of novelty to a virus is as much the result of a politicised process rather than something based on an objective…...

Dear "developers worldwide",

The BIS, Banco Central do Brasil, and G20 want you to help them build the global digital panopticon.

"• The fifth edition of the G20 global hackathon competition focuses on solving sustainable finance challenges.

• TechSprint invites development of solutions on environmental, social and governance (ESG) data reporting and compliance, overcoming the barriers to scaling nature-based solutions, and accelerating progress towards sustainable development goals (SDGs).

• Open to developers worldwide; winners will be chosen in November by an independent panel.

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the Banco Central do Brasil (BCB) today launched the fifth edition of the G20 TechSprint Initiative, with a focus on developing solutions for sustainable finance to support SDGs.

[…]

'The journey towards sustainable finance requires collective action and relentless innovation. We must continuously push the boundaries of what is possible, leveraging the full spectrum of technological advancements and collaborative partnerships at our disposal,' said Agustín Carstens, General Manager of the BIS."

SPIEF ’24 – Multipolar World Order converges on St. Petersburg to take PCR tests & chat about sustainable development

It’s happening. Again. It happens every year, unfortunately.

I am of course referring to the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, which is an annual gathering of the world’s most anti-globalist minds.

As per tradition, you will not be allowed to enter the venue without a negative PCR test. SPIEF published a helpful video if you have questions about your Virus Status:

REMINDER: Your fancy SPIEF digital ID will not be activated until you test negative for the Virus!

You will also need to buy a ticket.

Tickets cost $19,860.

The Latest “Bird Flu” Death is “Covid” All Over Again

Yesterday, the mainstream media widely reported that a new strain of Bird Flu had claimed its first victim, a 59-year-old man from Mexico.

The big news here is that the strain allegedly responsible, H5N2, had allegedly never before been detected in humans.

Everyone from CNN to the BBC to Sky News to ABC went with a headline along these lines:

First confirmed human case of bird flu H5N2 has died, says World Health Organisation

The UK’s I newspaper skipped straight to asking the important questions: “Is bird flu present in the UK and should…...

Whistling in the Dark

In the morning, the bobolink sings. It always heartens me—listening to the morning chorus of creatures waking up to the sun singing. Imagine. When was the last time any of us woke up singing to greet the day? Probably the mad, the newly-in-love, those who sing for a living and perhaps the children who thankfully if not hopefully know no better yet.

I’m remembering a day when people used to whistle a tune on the street as they went about their day. There weren’t that many who did but there seemed to always be one on every busy street.…...

AI and Commercial Music

Del Bigtree recently devoted a segment on his popular program, The Highwire, on the advent of AI in commercial music. Del created a theme song for The Highwire on one of many AI creation websites, the one he chose is Suno.com. See this segment here.

So, what do you think? Pretty impressive, huh? I have been quite impressed with the recent slate of AI genius—ChatGPT, and now Suno.com. I am a composer myself, so this sort of thing would be very distressing if I were still in the music creation biz. Now it…...

1. Rishi is throwing the election

We wrote in our piece on Rishi Sunak’s national service pledge that the Tories were not trying to win the UK’s upcoming election, this week only proves our point.

Firstly, on D-Day, Rishi left the ceremony early for unknown reasons, purely so he could be accused of disrespecting the troops. An absolutely ridiculous move for a Tory leader…...

DISCUSS: The EU Elections and the “Rise of the Far Right”

The so-called “biggest election year of all time” is progressing nicely. Among others, Russia, India, Mexico are done – while Britain, the US and Iran are yet to come.

Oh, and France now too. But we’ll get to that.

First, the European Union elections are over and done with, and the announced results proclaim the rise of the “far right” all over the continent…except not really.

If you actually look at the results, it’s a swing of ~40 seats total, which isn’t so much when 720 seats were up for grabs (including 14 that hadn’t previously existed).

What’s Next for Battlefield America? Israel’s High-Tech Military Tactics Point the Way

“I did not know Israel was capturing or recording my face. [But Israel has] been watching us for years from the sky with their drones. They have been watching us gardening and going to schools and kissing our wives. I feel like I have been watched for so long.”
Mosab Abu Toha, Palestinian poet

OffG’s last word on the “lab leak” theory: Illogical, immaterial and dangerous

The “lab leak” theory is in the news again. It is essentially a mainstream position now.

Two weeks ago the New York Times ran a long opinion piece endorsing it (we covered it This Week), last week ecnomist Jeffrey Sachs endorsed it in his 2-hour interview with Tucker Carlson, and yesterday RFK jr endorsed it as part of his presidential campaign:

Three years ago, other dissidents and I told the public that Covid-19 likely originated in a lab leak. Public health officials, led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, said that our concerns were
