Across the collective West unrest is growing. Hundreds of thousand in cities of many nations out in protest over the weekend, all with a different axe to grind but discontent being the universal message. Yet the MSM heehaws barely covered any of them. Spin no longer works so ignore it and hope it goes away seems to be the adopted way. What is clear is the unifying angst is not just towards politicians, who are viewed more and more as the impotent vassals of real power, unrest is directed to institutions that are failing because they are rudderless and corrupted. The whole edifice of control built up by a mafia of globalists is crumbling.
There is though one nation whose population appears to be lying down in submission and that is in Britain. I wonder where the backbone of the nation has gone, the descendants of the peasants revolt, the Jarrow marches, the poll tax protests, what has happened to the spirit of the British working class? Is it broken, have they given up and given in? I applaud those who have come out in support of Palestine, it is a good and just cause but why has protest against the suffering of their own been taken over by those brandishing hate inwards? It is the oldest trick in the book, divide to conquer. The state actors working in the shadows to orchestrate violence in order to ‘justify’ yet more Orwellian controls that contains and closes down real and meaningful protest.
The Sunday headlines in the UK are yet more cuts on the home front with a further six billion to be cut from welfare, not where the spending has grown out of control (the real cost of illegal immigration hidden in social security), the axe will fall again on the sick and the elderly. It is cuts dictated in the same week when they announce yet more billions to Ukraine. British people are being forced to pay for war games that regardless of the rhetoric out of No 10 has zero to do with them. They are not at risk by a manufactured adversary but from the policy makers behind the narrative. The Starmer government are not reacting to geopolitical events, they are using power gifted to them on a platform of lies for their own agenda. An agenda that is difficult not to surmise is a last ditch effort to breathe life into the dying globalist agenda and equally hard to dismiss the establishments role in the whole project as conspiracy.
What will it take before the British stand up and be heard as a unified group?, To enable their warmongering agenda the blob keeps coming for their money, do they have to come next for their children, to enlist them as fodder in a bloody fools game before they cry out?
As a Glaswegian would say ‘the games a bogey’, don’t let them fool you otherwise.

Putin is in China, shortly after Trump was in China. The two visits are an extraordinary study in contrasts. Whereas the Trump visit was striking because of the absence of substantive agreements, the Putin visit is packed with them.

That does not mean that the Trump visit was unimportant or a non event. If nothing else it gave the Chinese an opportunity to give Trump and the Americans the strongest warning they have ever given on the topic of Taiwan.

Claims that the warning is the same as warnings the Chinese have previously given are wrong. I have read every readout the Chinese Foreign Ministry has published following a meeting between the US President and the Chinese leadership extending back to the days of Barack Obama and Hu Jintao. No previous warning a Chinese leader has given on the topic of Taiwan has come close to the peremptory and threatening language Xi Jinping used in the warning he gave to Trump. The fact Xi did it in a semi public venue - in a plenary meeting where the ...

IGNORING ISRAELI SEXUAL ABUSE OF PALESTINIANS
-A new report documenting gendered and sexualized violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank has intensified pressure on Britain and its allies to confront the brutal realities of Israel’s occupation and military campaign against Palestinians.
-The West Bank Protection Consortium investigated a catalogue of incidents, each representing a “grave violation of bodily integrity and personal dignity,” including forced nudity, invasive body searches, indecent exposure — including to children.
-Researchers also documented cases of groping, stalking, threats of rape and the use of drones to film inside women’s bedrooms and record strip searches.
-In many of the cases documented, Israeli forces were present and either failed to intervene or actively participated.

This is a very interesting conversation (originally, in Russian), with some history about the Baltics right after the war, and and explanation of why Rus tolerates certain provocations.
It is exactly as I thought - the west wants war, and Rus does not want to cooperate (in this case, the west - aka UK - always at some skullduggery), full 58 mins:

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad !
