Israel: Elites in Region under enormous pressure. Some are playing both sides of the fence but don’t kid yourself World War 3 is possible. Recommend Colonel Douglas Macgregor, Judging Freedom Podcast and Judge Napolitano … Israel v Iran enragement and bubbling. We don’t understand we are fooled by proxy wars. Recommend Dr Phil (6th April 2024) on canisgallicus.com the interview of the son of Hamas who is now their target for death. The world needs to awaken and be aware. Macgregor’s opinion Iran does not want a war, or anyone in the region. “Trading missile strikes” is the real threat. Ukraine … what next? US calling for retirees to return to active duty. This will create a manpower problem – they may even create options to immigrants to join Forces. “Every 100 days US adds US$1 trillion to the national sovereign debt”. Russia is organising BRICS and this gives Europe and US a grim future. US troops and Taiwan not mentioned in the global media. Need to know.

Guo Pei “I am a product of changing China”. Starts with her grandmother who told her stories of Qing Dynasty. Yellow, the colour worn by the Emperor, is her choice in all of the exhibitions held on a global scale. Kate from Scotland because of the sad passing of her brother Rod, having just buried her brother Hugh in Ireland, went to Guo Pei exhibition in New Zealand. I highly recommend this link. The world is changing they say from Unipolar to Multipolar and China sure has history, culture and ambitions.
