Mark Drakeford (First Minister of Wales and leader of The Welsh Labour Party ) came out the the other day in full on favour of a renewed call for Welsh devolution. Bringing back the spectre of anti-english feeling that was rife back in the late 19 hundred's - our last Referendum on the subject was back in 1997. Now there are calls to hold another !

No 15th. Funnily enough the same date the Bush administration announced their 48 hours before 'shock and awe incursion into Iraq II. I have a reason to remember that well. I had 'signs' telling me to watch the Ides of March.

If you don’t happen to find yourself among the tinfoil hat-wearing strata of conspiracy theorists waiting in a bunker for aliens to either strike down or save society from the shape shifting lizard people, but are rather contemplating how, in the 1960s, a shadow government took control of society over the dead bodies of many assassinated patriots, then certain conclusions tend to arise.
This should not come as a surprise, as Biden’s new addition to the Department of Homeland Security is a bizarre figure named Cass Sunstein who famously described exactly what this was going to look like in his infamous 2008 report ‘Conspiracy Theories’ (co-authored with Harvard Law School’s Adrien Vermeule). In this under-appreciated study, the duo foresaw the greatest threat to the ruling elite took the form of “conspiracy theorizing” within the American population using as examples of this delusion: the idea that the government had anything to do with the murders of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr, or the planning and execution of 9-11.
After the Great Reset Agenda was announced in June 2020, Sunstein was recruited to head the propaganda wing of the World Health Organization known as the WHO Technical Advisory Group where his skills in mass behavior modification was put to use in order to counteract the dangerous spread of conspiracy theories that persuaded large chunks of the world population that COVID-19 was part of a larger conspiracy to undermine national sovereignty and impose world government.
Given the extremely low efficacy of U.S. counterspeech in this sort of environment, the realistic options may be limited to censorship and anonymous or quasi-anonymous counterspeech in the style of the Lincoln Group. Whatever the merits of these pragmatic and tactical questions, the availability of censorship gives U.S. officials operating in foreign countries an extra instrument for coping with conspiracy theories, one that is not available in the domestic arena due to both legal and political constraints.
Some conspiracy theories create serious risks. They do not merely undermine democratic debate; in extreme cases, they create or fuel violence. If government can dispel such theories, it should do so. One problem is that its efforts might be counterproductive, because efforts to rebut conspiracy theories also legitimate them. We have suggested, however, that government can minimize this effect by rebutting more rather than fewer theories, by enlisting independent groups to supply rebuttals, and by cognitive infiltration designed to break up the crippled epistemology of conspiracy-minded groups and informationally isolated social networks.

March 4th has been hard-coded on the "habbenings" calendar for over a month now. Hopefully there will be someone outside the Trump hotel keeping an eye on who checks in during the afternoon/evening of March 3rd.

How did we miss it!?! The gold fringes were gone from the flag President Trump hugged (and kissed) yesterday.

One weird thing about 06 JAN 2021 was how intensely some alt-media icons lobbied for regular MAGA people to show-up for what was bound to be a fiasco....then they dropped off the map. Codemonkey Ron is one example, I'm sure we could develop a full list. They REALLY wanted people to show up....a casting call almost.
I mean, did Trump just fizzle out or are things still in-play?

What if he raised the rates to keep people out of DC? At least where he could control?
