Midterms 2026 – America goes to the polls! It’s voting day for the “most important election of our lifetime”. Again. These midterms will decide control of congress for the final two years of Trump’s Presidency, and set the narrative for those years and the next Presidential term. Either Trump retains control, and everything that goes wrong is the Republicans fault. Or there’s a “blue wave” and the Democrat controlled congress blocks Trump’s plans to finally “Make America Great Again” (for real this time). Traditionally you’d expect Team Blue to win this one, pumping some hopium into the Democrat supporters ahead of 2030 and intentionally paralysing…...

Encroachment and Blight: Visualising the Right to Be If someone were to suddenly drop you in Amsterdam Noord or a new-build project in Toronto or Copenhagen, you might have some difficulty knowing which country you were in. The architecture and activities of the street would be similar: the ‘universal city’ by design conveys a sense of placelessness. We see standardised architecture, chain retail dominating, zoned areas and surveillance networks monitoring every action and square inch of space. The right to ‘do nothing’ on the street or to indulge in spontaneous acts without ‘permission’ is seen as loitering or suspicious, as public space is converted into a purely…...

The Hive ‘In three hundred metres, turn right off the dual carriageway…’ A grey stack of cubes and rectangles sat on the horizon like an abandoned Tetris game as he finished his sausage McMuffin, washing it down with a sip of vanilla latte. As a food tech correspondent, Eliot Cranum permitted himself these small indulgences between reporting on the latest culinary innovations. Whether it was 3D-printed meat or dairy-free cheese, his rare position came with the added perks of investment opportunities, conference invites, expenses-paid work trips, and sponsored campaigns from leading brands to ensure their message was heard and crucially, understood…...

OfCom Says “Facial Scans Not Accurate Enough” – Digital ID, here we come! The UK’s much-anticipated “social media ban” isn’t even actually law yet, and it’s already proving itself an obvious front for pushing digital ID on the whole country. The so-called “social media ban for under-16s” – more accurately an “online anonymity ban” for everyone – is due to come into force in March 2027, and the build up to that happy day has already seen regulators clamouring for stricter measures. OfCom – the body empowered to enforce the ban, and other dystopian internet controls in the UK – has issued a warning that facial scans, put forward as one…...

Called it…Netanyahu alleges elections “stolen” A few days ago, in our discussion thread on the Israeli elections, I suggested that the next step of the agenda would be a “contested” electoral result and that we would witness something like “Israel’s January 6th”, with Bibi Netanyahu cast in the roll of Trump. Less than ten minutes after that post was published, Haaretz published an article headlined: Will Netanyahu Refuse to Accept the Election Results? Within twenty-four hours, that hypothetical had become a reality, when Netanyahu took to the podium to allege the elections had been stolen by “Arab parties” and…...

Let’s talk about…Israel’s Election Day It was polling day in Israel yesterday, and the world is waiting to see if Benjamin Netanyahu is going to retain his long-held position as Prime Minister of Israel or not. As of the time of writing, exit polls are putting the “anti-Netanyahu bloc” in front, but only slightly, with “no clear winner” indicated. They are supposedly counting votes even as we speak. But we know that’s not really what’s happening. Elections are largely fake, shows of “democracy” with steered – if not entirely faked – outcomes. They have been that way for years, the…...

Can We Be Anything We Want to Be? That is a rather narcissistic question to begin with, isn’t it? If we want to be something, then, according to this statement, we can be that thing, regardless of what it means to anyone else, or what it means to our own obligations to reality. The woke liberal culture would say yes: we can be anything we want to be. Anything? According to those who say we can, not quite. You cannot be a “toxic” male—or much of a male at all, especially a white one. You cannot be a racist, by their definition. You cannot think women should…...

Background Assumptions What is the explanation for the brainwashing of so many Americans when it involves the nefarious, unspeakable deeds of their government? Why are so many so easily duped time and again? Why is there such a vast ignorance of the truth behind national and international affairs? I would suggest that the answer lies not just with the specific issues themselves and the lies and propaganda used to befuddle people, but with the cultural and social background assumptions that frame their thinking. The latter serves to cut to the root of people’s belief in their own power to think freely…... Read full article ... https://off-guardian.org/2026/10/25/background-assumptions/

9/11, Judy Wood and “Directed Energy Weapons” – Part 1 The book Dr Judy Wood is a former Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Clemson University in South Carolina, her book Where Did the Towers Go? was first published in 2010. The central contention of the book is that the damage observed on 9/11 is not explicable by known methods of destruction, specifically citing what she perceives as anomalies. 1. Hurricane Erin was underreported and behaved abnormally. 2. There was unusual electro-magnetic activity in the atmosphere on the day of 9/11. 3. The destruction generated a smaller than expected seismic signal. 4. The “bathtub” – the subterranean wall built…...
