Seems to me the more progress the Russians make in liberating Donetsk, particularly in the Pokosvk direction, the more frantic and desperate the US becomes. Biden is scouring every last cent in the Pentagon budget to send more arms to Ukraine while Trump is announcing plans to annex sovereign territory of other countries such as Greenland, Panama and even Canada. Is it an accident that as the Combined West faces catastrophic defeat in Ukraine, the US has shred every pretense of respect for international law and the sovereign indivisibility of States?

I'm amazed that WW3 has been kept a secret in the West.

Is it because the Old Empire is LOSING, badly?

I read about Russia-Ally-Partner Mega Foreign Infrastructure-Construction projects in China, Turkiye, Bangladesh, Africa, Asia and South America and the domestic increase in productivity across a variety of sectors, while here in the West it's foreclosure, lay-offs and cuts, cuts to the Health Service and Public Services, both private & public bankruptcies among a plethora of other ailments directly and indirectly related to an economic depression.

So while pensioners tend to stay in bed under the covers for fear of consuming energy they can't afford to pay for, Herr Starmer is offski on holiday, reportedly feeling stressed/rundown, poor lamb.

What's wrong with these people, half of those in employment can't make ends meet, a middle-class couple both working, can't get on the property ladder unless they move 200km from their jobs. What's it gonna take, what's going to be the catalyst for the Great Patriotic Revolution?

Answers on a postcard, one entry per household.

Whatever it takes, Baerbock, Von der Leyen,, Macron, f##k the plebs, while they receive rent free holiday villas & luxury apartments and gifts various from the large corporations and private individuals/donors.

Something's gotta give and soon, definitely maybe, and not just an uptick in my/our blood pressure.

Yep. You're right. I think it is noticeable that nowhere in these columns, nor any other, nor even your own post are there ever any suggestions for what might be/what ought be, done.

But it also seems obvious to me that the one thing missing all the time is the people.

The voice of the people. The will of the people.

And there's two main reasons for that, I guess:

1. the ignorance, apathy of the people

2. the system which provides no avenue/forum/place of assembly for the people.

Hence I believe that's what needs addressing right away, post haste.

enlighten the people and give them a voice etc.

And I believe it can be done as easily as an app dedicated to it.

Like this:

This is still not the way because it still belongs to govt. not the people and is still used only every few years -

but shows it could be done right NOW

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_voting_system

a little more in depth:

https://abrogard.com/blog/2024/10/14/how-about-this-to-bring-truth-to-the-elections/

But I have been posting that for about a year now and I notice that it gets no interest whatever. Not anywhere.

Which I find fascinating and very prophetic.

For it seems quite clear that:

1. There is no one speaking/acting for the people that wants them to have a voice, a say, a significance in the affairs of the world (that are crucifying them).

2. The people themselves do not want such, either.

So, the 'prophesy':

The people will become even more enslaved, disinterested, disenfranchised, unaware, uneducated than they are now.

We few not happy to accept that and its commensurate impositions: arbitrary warfare, arbitrary potentially lethal 'health' impositions, removal of all freedoms and safeguards will have no other options that i can see save:

1. Somehow get rich enough to be amongst those who are above the law or

2. Hide in some third or fourth world country if possible.

Cheers Arthur

I hear you and promise to spend some time going through your latest and previous work.

When you have regional neighbours turning a blind eye, worse still, collaborating with western perpetrators of the genocide in Palestine, then little can be expected from brainwashed heavily sedated sheeples from western vassal states who are busy themselves making ends meet.

Still, the largest sponsor of State Terrorism, America, is becoming more desperate and unhinged and in a progressive state of economic & moral collapse. The resulting fallout will be your and other like-minded souls opportunity.

Hello and thank you for this. I have no work for you to spend time going through, really. I am not a significant 'player', just an idle commentator really.

But i do think that direction I've indicated is clearly the way to go.

We need to make it clear to people that they should take an interest otherwise they'll be robbed at the very least and perhaps even led into wars that may kill them.

And show them that method, at least, of expressing their opinions. Of making their presence felt.

You know the single most common reason given by people for not taking an interest and not being proactive, not interacting with their governors is 'what difference would it make?'

It is clear to me that a ubiquitous dynamic voting app would make an enormous difference.

Very interesting. good to have. i keep my own map which I update from various reports I see, such as this one. My map shows us much further advanced than this. So I think I have been misled by these other sources. It is good to have this more realistic, sober assessment.
