British Media Turn on Putin War Plan. But Will They Turn on the New Clown in Downing Street?
To understand how the British media works and what’s behind the decisions it takes you don’t have to be very bright at all. In fact, you can be really quite dim and still get it, it’s really that simple. Gone are the days when a Brit would buy a paper, perhaps in the 70s and 80s as he or she wanted to be led by smart people who have strong views about given subjects – and stuck to those principles – the media in the UK has shifted to a more basic model: being led itself by popularity. read more

As Germany s WEF economic minister admits entire branches may cease to produce, CDU lays foundation for mass conscription and WW1, 2 style mobilization
WEF member Robert Habeck said in the talkshow „Maischberger“ he can imagine that some branches cease production due to soaring energy costs. Pressed on whether that meant they would go bankrupt, Habeck could not deny that a cessation in production actually means going bankrupt. He could not explain how businesses which ceased to produce and had mounting expenses, salaries, bills,rent, could just resume production at some later point unless they have enormous reserves, and so avoid bankruptcy. Habeck could not say at what point these bankrupted businesses would resume production... read more

Is NASA's Space Launch System doomed because of obsolete components?
The Silicon Graybeard argues that they're a major factor in the problems the SLS is currently experiencing - particularly in the prototype's fuel system. The persistent issues that have been arising with trying to fuel Artemis I for its maiden flight are drawing attention to an awkward conclusion. Either the contractors for Artemis and whoever is running Mission Control forgot how to work with liquid hydrogen or everyone who knew how to do it has retired or otherwise left the business. There's a simple root cause, though, embedded in the joke that the SLS is "the Shuttles' L... read more

Excess deaths – i.e. above-normal mortality – has been far too prevalent recently, to the extent it has been reported on by the likes ofThe Week,The Daily Telegraph andThe Spectator, matching a phenomenon that is being observed in many other countries, e.... read more

The Bollywood elites are often described in the media as “the beautiful people,” but this father-daughter duo fall in the category of the horrible people. A picture of them kissing is exactly what you need to lose faith in the future of mankind. The kissing photograph was ... read more
