Stinking Sleaze – Powerless?- HMG on Vacation - Davos is Dying – Wealth Effect – Inflation Con – Jaw-Jaw or War-War? – Missing African Jabs – Musk Rat - Letter from Great Britain [01-28-23]
2023 is the Chinese Year of the Rabbit – so what do rabbits do? They mostly run around in circles, frantically nervous and fearful, raid productive crops and bred like rabbits, emulating Westminster
NEWS FLASH - SEWER REPORT: “This government will have integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level,” vowed Rishi Sunak in his first speech at Downing Street. Sunak is facing serious questions over the integrity of the Tory Party and survival of his government after scandals emerged last weekend. Sunak has so far defied calls to sack the Tory party chair over the multimillion-pound tax dispute he resolved by paying a estimated £5m penalty – more to come next week.
The Sunday Times reported that BBC chair Richard Sharp was “involved in talks” over arranging a loan guarantee of up to £800,000 for the then PM Boris Johnson just weeks before he recommended Sharp as head of the BBC. The smell of stinking sleaze hangs over what we used to call our government.
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: ARE WE POWERLESS OR WHAT? As the Collective West moves inexorably towards global battle stations, the Kremlin has drawn a clear red line by issuing ultra-dire warnings from Moscow. Specifically Lavrov, Peskov, with Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, last Monday said the world stands on the brink of World War III due to US and Western aggression against Russia. How can the sane 90% stop these geriatric, NeoCon madmen from killing us all?
International oligarchies commanding unbeatable militaries and hoarding unparalleled wealth are nothing new. The "unbeatable" are always beaten. Last week's Davos fiasco has lit the fires of resistance proving that the virtues of truth, freedom and liberty can never be smothered by criminals trying to take over the world by force. Here's how non-violent struggle works:
BREAKING NEWS: Rishi Sunak and his scandal-hit ministers held a ‘hideaway’ 'vacation day' at Chequers on Thursday whilst Britain suffers from endless chaos – I guess it's boiling over in the engine room. The NHS is in crisis, people are struggling to feed themselves and keep warm, pay their rent or mortgage, multiple strikes are unending, and illegal migrants are blatantly murdering Brits and causing mayhem. All the Tories can do is fight among themselves for the last flakes of sterling scattered around the Treasury's empty pot to save their own skins.
All trust in this apology for a government has been lost as Sunak’s promise to govern with 'integrity' now lies in tatters. He can’t even tackle one of the multiple crises facing his Cabinet, let alone the huge challenges facing the country as economic growth tumbles into a deep recession.
The Chancellor claimed yesterday that "Britain is not in decline!" What has he been smoking? Methinks he doth protest too much. Any child will tell you that to solve any problem you need to acknowledge that one actually exists!
The hapless public deserve so much better than this daily soap-opera of sleaze and scandal. All people want is a fair deal managed by a competent government and functional public services but it's a lost cause with this clutch of useless layabouts.
One commenter noted: "I voted leave, for the sake of my country, only for the immigration crisis to worsen even more. Hell or high water I will be looking to get out of this mess in the coming year or two, no matter what it takes. So unbelievably sad to see the country turned into a third world cesspit."
Exactly my own sentiment, but then I've watched Britain gradually sink into this hellhole for 60 years. As far as I can determine, there were few $ billionaires outside the US in the 1960s. A likely candidate would have been West Germany's richest man, Friedrich Flick, but he was a convicted Nazi war criminal! All that's changed; there are now a record 177 billionaires in Britain alone - sort of tells the story doesn't it?
DAVOS POST MORTEM: Davos this month announced "cooperation in a fragmented world." The World Economic Forum warns of “a unique, uncertain and turbulent decade to come”. There was widespread agreement that we are facing unprecedented, unusual and unexpected levels of uncertainty. Hat Tip: Nouriel Roubini, he is professor emeritus at the Stern School of Business and the author of Megathreats: Ten Dangerous Trends That Imperil Our Future, and How to Survive Them. He writes (lightly edited):
"Thus, whatever one’s favoured terminology, there is widespread agreement that we are facing unprecedented, unusual and unexpected levels of uncertainty. In the near term, we can expect more instability, higher risks, more intense conflict and more frequent environmental disasters.
This historical connection is all too fitting. Our current age of Mega-threats resembles the tragic 30-year period between 1914 and 1945 far more closely than it does the 75 years of relative peace, progress, and prosperity after WW2. It is worth remembering that the first era of globalisation was not sufficient to prevent the descent into WW1. That tragedy was followed by a pandemic of Spanish flu; the 1929 stock market crash; the Great Depression; trade and currency wars; inflation, hyperinflation, and deflation; financial crises and massive defaults; and unemployment rates above 20%. It was these crisis conditions that underpinned the rise of fascism in Italy, Nazis in Germany, and militarism in Spain and Japan – culminating in the Holocaust (remembered yesterday).
But as dreadful as those 30 years were, today’s Mega-threats are in some ways even more ominous. After all, the interwar generation did not have to deal with the [PsyOp of climate change, Covid scamdemic], AI threats to employment, or the implicit liabilities associated with societal ageing, because social security systems were in their early days, and most elderly people died before claiming their pension. Furthermore, those world wars were largely conventional conflicts, whereas conflicts between major powers today might rapidly culminate in a nuclear conflict.
We are facing not only the worst of the 1970s (repeated negative aggregate supply shocks), but also the worst of the 2007-08 period (dangerously high debt ratios) and the worst of the 1930s. A new “geopolitical depression” is increasing the likelihood of cold and hot wars that could all too easily overlap and spin out of control.
Far too many are indulging complacency and ignoring what is happening in the real world. We are living like somnambulists, ignoring every alarm about what lies in front of us. We had better wake up soon, before the mountain starts shaking." But what is revealed on the WEF agenda is their determination to battle against 'misinformation' – as of course defined by them:
· At the WEF Davos 2023 jamboree, countering 'misinformation' was a key agenda
· WEF claims that “a wide range of actors with access to sophisticated technology and weaponry, as well as an ever-increasing capacity to spread misinformation…” are a threat to their global aspirations
· WEF didn't define the nature of 'misinformation' it’s targeting, but it likely includes criticism of the WEF itself and challenges to mainstream COVID-19 narratives
· In 2022, WEF held 'Sustainable Development Impact Meeting's that also featured panels on “tackling disinformation”
· Among WEF participants were the United Nations, which noted it had partnered with Big Tech giants like Google and TikTok to censor the narrative on environmental issues and COVID-19
Afterword: The WEF also predicts a catastrophic "cyber event" in the near future. Is that because they're planning on launching one?
AND yet unbelievably we gave a knighthood to this evil bastard:
HOWEVER, regardless of the whining and whingeing at Davos, the happy verdict was neatly delivered by Tom Luongo – here are some edited snippets of his final assessment. "As Davos 2023 winds down it is clear that their entire edifice built on a crude admixture of psychopathy and hubris is tumbling down. For the first time, the sheen was gone. Too many people were seeing the walls of the echo chamber for what they were; old, shabby, and dilapidated rather than having the veneer of wisdom that comes with age.
They have emerged from behind the curtain declaring themselves the saviours of humanity through their Reich Fuhrer’s nutty ideas about transhumanism, 15-minute cities, eating bugs, and renting your life from a global government. And it was easy to build a counter-narrative to their insanity, which permeated the zeitgeist, by just pointing your finger and laughing at them.
At Davos they like to talk in terms of the inevitability of their forecasted future. But that’s just a front. Psychopaths always double down in the face of adversity. There's a certain sense of panic and desperation; like Blackrock’s Larry Fink complaining about how mean we all are opposing ESG and NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg exhorting everyone that more weapons to fund Ukraine’s war is the path to peace!
Such crass pleadings leave rational people speechless at our leaders' insanity – it really is a mad Davos world:
Note the use of “the” versus “a” in that sentence. When someone is telling you there is only one path forward, they are issuing an ultimatum; they are also lying through their eye teeth.
If you watch the clip carefully, note the desperation on display from Stoltenberg. He knows the war isn’t going well for NATO and he will be sacrificed on the globalists’ altar if he fails to deliver on Ukraine. He knows that if NATO fails, he and all his corporatist cronies lose their seat on the gravy train.
It's also why Soros announced to the world he didn’t need to go to Davos this year. These geriatric despots are well past the point of 'Peak Davos'. It is fascinating that many world-shakers skipped it except for the old stalwart US banking CEOs, such as Jamie Dimon, who were present (do they know something we don't?). There were many leading lights missing who had attended previously to plead for sanity, like Eurasian leaders Putin and Xi Jinping, who didn’t even phone in."
It has been a fascinating week of announcements and headlines that paint a very ugly picture for the future of Davos; it should be obvious where this going. We haven't won yet, but we are on the way to witnessing the final act of 'The Fourth Turning' before the end of this decade. https://tomluongo.me/2023/01/20/davos-2023-whistling-past-the-great-resets-graveyard/
WHERE should we look for signs that America, the driver of the global economy, is slipping into an economic recession, perhaps leading to a depression? It's early days yet but all the signals indicate a global slowdown in trade and markets is already upon us. Here is the key to understanding why this is happening now, compliments to Charles Hugh Smith last week. He says that extreme wealth/income disparity, caused by the very system deliberately created by 'Masters of the Financial Universe', is to blame and to watch what the top 10% do next.
The elites account for roughly half of all consumption, which makes sense given they own 2/3rds of the wealth and 85% of income producing assets, and they get 40% of the total income. If their wealth were to diminish in an extended Bear Market and economic depression, their spending will also diminish. Not only will they no longer feel so rich (the wealth effect), the income and capital gains produced by their assets will also decline.
The dependence of major sectors of the economy on the spending of the top 10% is often overlooked. For example, one study of US airline flights found that only 12% of the American populace take two-thirds of all flights. You see the pattern here: the top 10% account for half, two-thirds or over three-quarters of everything; wealth, income, income-producing assets, capital gains and spending.
Should the 'wealth effect' reverse as assets fall, capital gains evaporate and investment income declines, the top 10% will no longer have the means or appetite to spend so freely, creating a spiral of fiscal depredation not seen for generations. http://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2023/01/want-to-know-where-economy-is-going.html
INFLATION WATCH: Inflation is a stealth machine hiding the worst aspects of mission creep because it's accumulative. CPI started taking off at the beginning of 2021 and by the end of the year it was 6% pa; at the end of 2022 it had peaked at 10.5%. Thus £10 on 1/1/21 became £9.40 at 1/1/22 and £8.41 at 1/1/23. UK Producer Prices (CPI) is an indicator of inflation going forward and has remained level for the last 6 months; so no sign of inflation falling much yet. Thus your £8.41 is likely to be worth £7.57 by end 2023 and if this becomes reality the £ in your pocket will have lost 25% of its value in three years! But also is buys fewer products due to ‘stealth inflation’.
Don't be fooled by the math-whizz boffins at the ONS because you know the politicians will never tell you the truth. But people can 'feel' this appalling attack on our money and is why the many public-sector workers have a very good reason to continue their strikes this year – they have no other option if they wish to survive the appalling ravages of inflation.
SURVIVAL MONITOR: Do you know much about surviving a nuclear war? As the world moves towards a final confrontation driven by America's deliberate strategy of provoking Russia into a nuclear attack; I ask why and consider the consequences.
There is no doubt that USA is losing the global economic war as Eurasia rises to challenge their 'FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE' - this clear and unambiguous statement of U.S. foreign policy for the 21st century was declared by the Pentagon to rule the world. We can date the beginning of the war in Ukraine to October 2002; the date this document was published. I believe the 'Crazies in the Basement' are fully prepared to wreck the western world in their desperation to retain power and control – they have not been coy in publishing their intent.
BUT it's not the nukes themselves that we should fear, which will only destroy targeted cities, nor the radioactive fallout, which dissipates fairly quickly; the kinetic effects are survivable for most (and our rulers know it). The major effect is the aftermath; the collapse of western economies and associated social mayhem, which provides cover for the ruling elite against the inevitable economic failure already apparent.
This will allow western governments to declare martial law, invoke lockdowns (as already tested) and place countries on a wartime footing. Financial markets and supply chains will collapse; rationing will follow as the elite establish totalitarian control. Commercial banking networks will have failed, thus no trading can be done. In place of regular banks, CBDC's will create a Great Reset, enabling complete control over the populations' needs and basic supplies. This video (18 mins) describes the process: https://www.brighteon.com/f486b84d-f83f-4bf5-b254-b6bdf613b925
I guess it’s near the time to implement Plan 'B' but timing will be crucial because once it starts; it will be quick with little time to prepare or move away. I am beginning to think that my exit date of 2023/4 is here:
THE NARRATIVE BATTLE: THE WEF WON'T REVEAL their greatest problem with regard to the Covid agenda – Africa - where the Covid death rate is so small it's almost undetectable and the Vaxx rate is minimal.
My wife is South African and all her family live in SA. Her daughter recently mentioned that their maid told her: “Africans would never take "White Man's medicine" and here lies a major roadblock to the UN Agenda 2030.
The WEF are now faced with a 'control group' which proves conclusively that the jabs are not only useless, and lethally damaging in some cases, but also the Covid scamdemic was actually the biggest con of the century.
FINALLY: Who is Vera Jourova to determine what type of speech is harmful to society? She's an unelected EU bureaucratic-nobody, stung by Elon Musk's revelations rattling her cage so much that she has exposed the rotting underbelly of elite censorship. I am not surprised because all totalitarian institutions rely on projecting their mythical narratives and suppressing the truth:
· First, she is essentially admitting that the EU Commission was working directly with the former Twitter leadership to censor the public in a bid to control their behaviour
· Second, establishment bureaucrats overseas assert that they should have the power to dictate the policies of private media US companies and threaten to sanction Twitter et al –good luck with that!
As we witnessed at Davos last week these elite bureaucrats have lost the initiative. Even their killer Vaxxes are being ignored by most people and the perpetrators are being laughed at. Here's one minute of hubris on display:
What is it about free speech that is so threatening to them? I suppose it's about power, and the means to lie to the public whilst removing their ability to contradict? DO NOT COMPLY.
UNTIL NEXT WEEK:

Good post once again, thanks. As this dystopian monster grows more complex I find myself and my family turning to ways of accomplishing personal healing and overall health. Health is wealth.
This is how I see Russia fighting the West in a nuclear attack.
1) Use nuclear hypersonic (mach 9-20) missiles to clean up all NATO bases in Europe (1st second) and the US. The job is done is less than 10 minutes and there are NO ABMs that can intercept hypersonic missiles. At this point in time, only Russia can intercept hypersonic missiles. NATO doesn't have hypersonic missiles either (Iran, Russia and China are the only countries with these missiles)!
2) Launch 2 nuclear Poseidons (submarine delivered) on the US Atlantic coast to generate 500m height radioactive tsunamis. That would clean up all coastal cities on the US east coast from New England to Miami.
3) Launch 2 nuclear Poseidons (submarine delivered) on the US Pacific coast to generate 500m height radioactive tsunamis. That would clean up all coastal cities on the US West coast from Washington to Baja California.
4) Launch 1 nuclear Poseidon (submarine delivered) on the UK Atlantic coast to generate 500m height radioactive tsunamis. The entire UK is soaked - it's too small! Use a single nuclear hypersonic (mach 9-20) missile to clean up "The City of London". The Truss' North Stream 2 attack will look like a small fireworks!
5) Use Sarmat (hypersonic ICBM) to clean up the entire state of New York (all banks gone!). This ICBM was designed to destroy any area of the size of the state of Texas.
6) Use Sarmat (hypersonic ICBM) to clean up the entire state of Maryland and Virginia (Washington D.C gone!).
Once "The City of London", the Federal Reserve (New York), Washington D.C (Pentagon + federal governments) are gone, you have just chaos left.
If the "Crazies in the basement" think that a nuclear exchange with Russia will be a cakewalk, they're mistaken. Anyway, they won't be here to see the consequences of their actions.
Even their "first strike" utopia won't save the world because Russia has the "Dead Hand" delivery mechanism in case the Russian government is hit first and there is nobody with the nuclear code left.
The MAD doctrine is still alive if they've forgotten about it!!
NB: Russia closed their military base in Cuba because they don't need a presence on the continental US. Their nuclear arsenal is in the oceans (Poseidon) and they have hypersonic missiles that cannot be intercepted and can hit the intended targets in less than 10 minutes and can be launched from the sea (zircon), the air (Khinzal) or from Russia (ICBM)!
