15...Military Technology (Skylon) & World War III

This section is based upon a letter I wrote to prime minister Theresa May on July 13th, 2016.

Videos of HOTOL & Skylon

I believe that the Skylon spaceplane, being developed by Reaction Engines Limited, at Culham , near Oxford, should be considered as an alternative to a Trident II Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile carrying nuclear fleet. Future submarine fleets are likely to be detected by radar satellites, undersea sonar and autonomous mini subs that attach to a Trident subs hull or trail at a distance, then transmit their position and self detonate. Undersea sonar already exist at narrow straits. There is no reason to think that they would not be located amongst floating seaweed in the Sargasso Sea and at the mouths of glaciers where the sound of falling ice currently masks a submarine's presence. Nuclear submarines are large, slow moving targets. They are also extremely complicated, containing thousands of valves, and hence very expensive and time consuming to manufacture and cost accurately. They also rquires many highly trained personnel, at a time when the armed forces are short staffed, mainly due to the absence of national service. In addition, the growing use of AI and nuclear powered hypersonic missiles guided by intelligence gathering satellites, makes our subs an inevitable expensive dead duck. Placing our nuclear deterrent in one aging basket, instead of utilizing the alternative of RAF launched stealthy or hypersonic cruise missiles, is a penny pinching mentality too far.

Skylon has the following:

Advantages:

1 Skylons used to support civilian space programmes could be 'borrowed' for military purposes at times of crisis, as stated in the purchase agreement. It would not be possible for an outsider to tell the difference between a civilian mission and a military one.

2 Military missions using Skylon could be for intelligence gathering, or the deployment of AI controlled conventional, kinetic energy, nuclear, chemical, biological warheads. Skylon's multi-role capability gives it added cost effectiveness. Pallets would contain a mix of glide munitions fitted with multiple 'warheads', such as intelligence gathering and C3 balloons, plus optical / infra red / GPS guided smart bomblets, capable of taking out a nuclear submarine without creating huge nuclear fallout, much of which would fall upon the attacker. Smart munitions could also soft land next to missile silos, ready to attack the missile the moment the silo hatch opens, or enter tunnels to seek out mobile missile transporters. Russian ICBMs are thought to be located in a tunnel matrix in Siberia.

With advances in artificial intelligence, nuclear weapons may well become redundant with the introduction of miniature unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), similar to civilian drones with four rotors, no bigger that one's hand, equipped with 3g explosive shaped charge, heat and movement sensors, communications and photo-voltaics, delivered in their thousands by just one stealthy glide bomb. With orders to kill all humans, it could remain on station for months. They could act independently or as a swarm. For a less advanced nation, such a weapon could be delivered by a ground launched stealthy cruise missile. Such a weapon makes a complete nonsense of spending huge resources, coupled with risk, on nuclear powered missiles. Such cheap effective weapons are surely the catalyst for a world technocracy? You may see the day when every government has this weapon. I see the day when every terrorist group has it. It will supplant the AK47 assault rifle. It could kill every Jew in Israel, every pain in the arse in the Kremlin, and no one would know who was responsible. What are you going to do then? In a world where anyone could be a potential doomsday machine, world order can only be achieved through a world technocracy. In a world technocracy everyone will have a bio-implant. Everyone will be tracked, interviewed regularly by AI analyst, automatically told not to associate with certain friends and re-educated if necessary. This is the sort of world presently being created in the PRC.

There also exists a reluctance amongst some politicians to nuke large towns and cities. In a preemptive strike, the attackers military bases are likely to have been vacated. It is governments and the top ranking military who start wars. It is they who should be targeted. There will always be someone around to make a deal with after these people have been taken out. Technology has now made it possible to take out these critters without the creation of huge collateral damage. HMG and NATO should ask itself the question whether it is humanly acceptable to target innocent people with 150kt nuclear warheads?

3 Unlike submarines, Skylon would provide rapid reaction and communication in real time. It could be recalled at a moments notice.

4 Skylon would not require the training of thousands of personnel, and since only the pallets of warheads would be owned by the government, the system would be highly cost effective.

5 The command, control and communications (C3) should be provided from an AWAC (Airborne Warning And Control) aircraft, with the military having direct say as to if, when and what type of response is made. The system should be kept as simple as possible with no launch codes and no preset targets, in order to maintain full flexibility of operation. Leaving a nuclear response to a politician or committee merely ensures that they are targeted first, either by weapons or subterfuge. A deterrent is only as good as its weakest link. For this reason all personnel involved would be subjected to regular polygraph tests. Since Skylon is unmanned, this reduces the security risk.

6 Operating in space it would not be subjected to conventional air traffic control regulations, and would in most cases be stealthy. Unlike Intercontinental Ballistic Missile's it could approach its target from either of two directions. Since space is a near vacuum, their would be minimal shock wave from a nearby exploding enemy warhead, should any attempt be made to shoot it down.

7 This project would further to some extent the fundamentals of a British launch capability, lost decades ago with the scrapping of European Launcher Development Organization's rocket in 1975, where Blue Streak was the main stage, and of course the scrapping of the Black Arrow launcher and Prospero satellite in 1971. Research into this technology, in areas like 3D printing of advanced materials incorporating electrical cables with built in redundancy and structure monitoring capability, would assist the go ahead for the LAPCAT hypersonic airliner, and possibly a range of advanced sub-sonic airliners by possibly Bombardier / BAe Systems to compete with the European Airbus consortium and Boeing, whose order books are at times bulging.

Disadvantages:

1 It would operate from perhaps half a dozen airfields around the globe equipped with cryogenic facilities, underground ordnance storage, military communications and 4km long runways at locations known to a potential enemy. Commercial locations in the equatorial zone are likely to include Ascension Island (Atlantic Ocean), Christmas Island or Cocos Island (Indian Ocean), Christmas Island (Pacific Ocean) and Belize (Caribbean Sea), roughly ninety degrees apart.

2 The SALT II agreement signed by the USSR and the USA bans the use of nuclear weapons in space.

3 The production of cryogenic fuels like hydrogen are expensive and rare, but the technology is likely to become cheaper as fuel cell powered road vehicles gain acceptance. Alternatively methane could be used instead, although it would require larger and hence heavier fuel tanks. A safer alternative would be ammonia, if further research justifies it.

4 Skylon is a very large vehicle, much larger than the NASA space shuttle. It is therefore a large target for micro-meteorites and space debris. The present design calls for some cryogenics to remain in the tanks for cooling purposes during re-entry. This would encourage the spaceplane to blow up if it was hit whilst in orbit. An alternative is an auxiliary tank for cooling and final approach, which I believe now exists. However, it is also clear that to increase cargo carrying capacity and reduce initial cost the vehicle should be 3D printed with a multi-layer structure, assuming of course that it can be repaired when necessary. The US company Relativity can 3D print a rocket in 60 days. The Terran R rocket is due to launch in 2022 being 110'x7.5' its ultimate intension is to make one 16' in diameter and reusable. 95% of each rocket will be reusable, whilst the company makes its own 3D printing machines. It is now clear that the Skylon project, which has dragged on since I noticed Alan Bond attending a spaceplane symposium at the BNSC Millbank in 1987, is being overtaken by events, probably much to the glee of many British politicians who look upon manufacturing as a filthy word.

5 The Skylon project has gone on for at least 30 years, during which time competition has arisen in the form of nuclear powered spaceplanes from Russia. The west probably lags ten years behind Russia, who could conceivably be the first to manufacture and fly a hypersonic exoatmospheric intercontinental airliner. A follow on from Koncordski, the Tupolev Tu-144.

5 The Skylon system will probably soon face competition from the Chinese horizontal take-off and landing two stage launch system consisting of something similar to NASA's X-43 winged scramjet powered lifting body carrying an orbital transfer vehicle similar to X-37B used by the USAF.

It should also be born in mind that a deterrent works best if it comes in a variety of delivery systems. I believe nuclear warheads are also present in submarine launched cruise missiles and depth charges. They should also be fitted to air launched missiles.

Time will tell whether the payload capacity of Skylon, currently 12 to 15 tonnes and its total reuse-ability, will be competitive against the vertically landing Falcon 9 and its derivatives, which require extra fuel and grid fins with associated weight, in order to make a soft landing. Advancements in materials will no doubt improve Skylon's efficacy.

It is clear to me that Skylon's power plant is now obsolete for military use. Remotely controlled nuclear powered hypersonic US & Russian spaceplanes, capable of reuse and rearm, with hypersonic missiles fitted with AI sensors which can find targets, jam sensors, then destroy them with AI warheads with little or no warning, makes billion dollar boy's toys obsolete when global reach spaceplanes are connected to intelligence gathering satellites to find targets. Such a fleet could destroy the world's military targets within a few days, and all primary targets within hours. It is the type of weapons system that a megalomaniac would crave for, since it could conceivably be controlled by just one person.

Trident II has an Achilles heel. That of credibility. In an age where the UK is dependent upon the French company EDF to build the next generation of nuclear power station at Hinkley Point, because the British nuclear industry does not possess the capability, one wonders whether this industry is still capable of building nuclear submarines. This reminds me of the Falklands war where our shoulder launched anti-aircraft missiles were found wanting. Can the MOD be trusted? Of course not.

There is a horrifying spectre associated with Trident II. The original Trident was constructed during the cold war. Russia has, in 2016, resurrected this mentality, particularly with the launch of the largest nuclear powered submarine in the world, the Belgorod, which will accommodate the Poseidon 2Mt underwater cruise missile. Fired at the west coast of La Palma, the resulting tsunami could wipe out the eastern seaboard of the United States. We are now on the edge of global thermonuclear war again. A situation which again could drag on for decades, or will it? What happens if the Russian government 'comes out', admits its wrong doings, withdraws its armed forces from the Crimea and eastern Ukraine, nukes the holy Land, then goes to the UN, bangs its shoe on the rostrum and calls for a world technocracy? Will NATO governments ignore the event? Will HMG carry on building these expensive submarines? Trident II is in my opinion an unnecessary gamble with hard earned and honest tax payer's money. It deserves to be spent on more rewarding causes. In addition, what is plainly obvious is that nations are brought together through scientific endeavors, particularly those in space and a pandemic or two. Will HMG carry on regardless simply because the Royal Navy has already named the subs, after the four most important cabinet ministers?

As far as I can tell, although I received a long, apparently standard, letter from the MOD, my views did not influence the UK's nuclear deterrent in any way. It was clearly a spaceplane too far. That great frolic in the sky, all over again.

Of course the cost of building a defensive system has to be weighed up against what that money could achieve if spent elsewhere in the economy. There is always the risk that it could be obsolete by the time it goes operational, or that it simply fails to deter a suicidal organisation, such as North Korea. Governments tend to adopt a hostile pose simply to justify their existence. North Korea is the only suicidal government to get its hands on nuclear weapons. They know that there is no place for them in the real world, due to the crimes they have committed against their own people. Their only future therefore lies before the International Criminal Court charged with crimes against humanity. There is therefore every likelihood that North Korea will take out South Korea, Japan and the USA once it has missiles of sufficient range and numbers, for they are still fighting the Korean War. Western politicians simply don't want to know. They have created this situation in North Korea and Iran simply by doing nothing. They failed to nuke northern PRC with the 30 to 50 atomic bombs that General Douglas MacArthur proposed using in 1953, and they failed to support the Shah's government when Ayatollah Khomeini executed his ministers in 1979.

A weapon's system is only as good as its weakest link. Based upon that assumption, one only has to look at how the Covid-19 pandemic has been mishandled to know that even a non-nuclear response to these problems will not be carried out. Our political systems in the west are no better than what they were in the 1930s....crap. I conclude therefore that North Korea will launch its nuclear weapons. Hundreds of millions of innocent people will be killed, resulting in the US president being forced at gun point to nuke North Korea and the whole of the PRC, because the American public will demand it. And that is why the PRC will attack western interests the moment North Korea does, because it feels that it has no choice, made worse by the fact that AI warheads delivered by nuclear powered hypersonic cruise missiles are the ultimate weapon of choice, which nothing can stop. This window of opportunity in military superiority will probably never arise again. This act of sheer brainlessness will dictate the lives of the survivors for generations to come, as they attempt to avoid the consequences of long term nuclear fallout, unspent AI weapons and aerial anti-personnel mines. This of course would be nothing compared to a year's long nuclear winter, wiping out the northern hemisphere's agriculture, made worse if North Korea targets volcanos and earthquake fault lines along the Pacific ring of fire. This is what happens when you have no world technocracy. As for Iran, API (Associated Press International) released satellite images showing construction work at the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Centre, Dimona, Israel in 2021. It is thought that the facility is being updated to produce tritium and plutonium for nuclear warheads. Well at least someone is doing something.

Now in 2023 there is a rush by the UK and US to catch up with the Russians and Chinese in the field of hypersonics. The US has two military hypersonic aircraft projects, one called Quarterhouse, being researched by Hermues and powered by Chimera and another called Mayhem.

In addition to the suicidal regime in North Korea, we now have exactly the same mentality in Russia under President Vladimir Putin. He's not fighting the Korean War, he's fighting the cold war, and he doesn't give a damn how many people die in the process. Like Hitler, he is a masochist. All he wants is death and destruction. His ego dictates that he is the only man fit to rule Russia. Judging by the failure of anyone to remove or kill him, he maybe right. He has started wars in Georgia in 2008, and is furthering the civil war in Syria under the regime of Bashar al-Assad from 2015. He now wants to crush the Ukraine under the heel of Russian military might, on the pretext that it wants to join NATO, and is therefore a legitimate target. Whether Russia wants to join NATO once Putin and his followers are dead, buried and forgotten is an irrelevance. On 1 November 2006, ex-KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned in a London cafe, whilst talking to a representative of the Kremlin, and died three weeks later in hospital. In February 2014 Putin supported terrorists to take over the Donbass region of Eastern Ukraine. With obvious government support, they shot down Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur on July 17th, 2014, killing 298 passengers and crew. On Sunday, 4th March, 2018 Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found comatosed on a park bench in Salisbury, England. Sergei Skripal later died, believed killed by two Russian agents. Later in February 2020 he conned the Russian army into invading the Ukraine at the end of military exercises in Belarus and set about pulverizing every city he could. Meeting fierce resistance, he was obliged to use long range weapons including cruise missiles, artillery, ground and ship launched missiles and hypersonic missiles. Even if he takes Ukraine, it will by then only be a pile of rubble and bones. As of mid March 2022 the Russians are thought to have lost 15,000 lives. Having worked as a KGB officer in East Germany, he must know that it took the lives of 100,000 red army soldiers to take Berlin. But that is not going to stop him. He knows that defeat will inevitably cost him his freedom, through arrest, humiliating trial and life imprisonment for war crimes, assassinations, murder, corruption and embezzlement of state assets. His gang of oligarchs in his cabinet, parliament and elsewhere will inevitably meet a similar fate, including that of their families and close friends. Putin therefore has every reason to fight on. He wants to see Russia resurrected into a superpower, and not simply have an economy and prestige on a par with Italy. He is implicating his commanding officers in war crimes in the Ukraine in order to ensure that they know they face trial by international court should he be removed from power. This entrapment ensures that when he finally gives the order to start global thermonuclear war, they will comply. Whilst NATO countries are prepared to supply Ukraine with anti-tank missiles etc., the longer this war continues, the more likely it is that AI will be employed on both sides, with no certainty of the outcome. This war could very easily spiral out of control. Sanctions by the rest of the world, excluding India and the PRC, are preventing the capitulation of Russia from happening. He will fight on, and probably launch his ICBMs and SLBMs along with land mobile ICBMs during a nuclear exercise. Putin, Man of Steel 2, craves for his page in history, the final page.

Meanwhile the free western world does nothing. They did nothing during all the other wars Putin has engaged in, which is why he knows they will do nothing now. That statement isn't strickle true. They did do something. They allowed these oligarchs (gangsters and eventually terrorist) to stash away their stolen loot inside reputable banks, because they put their own economies, that is the economy of their political party, above international law and ultimately world peace. In effect they are as much gangsters as are the oligarchs. And none of them have been brought to justice. There is a good chance that while Putin may not use nuclear or dirty bombs, he will use Artificial Intelligence guided and thermobaric (fuel/air) warheads, against military and civilian targets alike, if only to display his nation's superiority in weaponry over those of NATO. The AI weapons would likely be quadcopters with minute 3 gramme explosive charges designed to find and attack people, whilst thermobaric weapons are designed to suffocate and incinerate people inside buildings. Like the Jews during the second world war, the west's politicians will look the other way, because that's what they've always done whenever a hard decision has to be made.

Take global warming for instance. In the UK the cost of energy is predicted to increase to £250 per month from October 2022, and yet is HMG mass producing photo-voltaics, sea current generators, mini hydro-electric schemes or tidal barrage generators......NO! Why not? Because they are dead wood, a walking disaster area, apathetic and inept. One deadbeat government after another. They react to events instead of creating them. It took two years to build the Mulberry harbours for D-Day. It has taken half a century of debate on whether to build the Wash and then the Severn barrage, which could generate a considerable proportion of the nation's electricity, with no result. And if the European Union offered to finance the building of barrages along the coast of the UK in order to replace Russian gas and oil, how would HMG react? And right now there will be no commando assault on fortress Kremlin, State Duma, ministry of defence, intelligence and security agencies, and certainly no use of mini nukes. NATO jets will not fly supersonically over window shattered Russian cities, dropping leaflets depicting tortured and murdered Ukrainians in an attempt to make their population see reality, nor will the Ukraine be given parts to make cruise missiles to fire at Moscow. And there won't be any reward for Vladimir Putin or any other member of his gang, because we are bankrupt. And even if everything north of Watford is nuked, HMG will still not issue a nuclear response. I remember seeing this in a documentary on TV about 3 years ago and I felt disgusted at being British. Would an adversary really space out their missile launches in order to give HMG time to think? As portrayed in the book Mila 18, Ukraine citizens will be exterminated, just like the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto, whilst other governments continue looking the other way. History repeats itself. It repeats itself because the fundamental problems are not addressed. A WT would remove frontiers and every other obstacle to world peace.

HMG offered the 'Homes for Ukraine' scheme, but amazingly I got nowhere. Either they couldn't speak English, had insufficient funds to get to the UK, or only wanted to go as far as Poland. Evidently all those Russian bullets, bombs, shells and missiles were having little effect. As for the mass graves containing tortured and murdered civilians. Just why are they doing it? Did Putin recruit them from prisons and psychiatric wards, or were they given standard issue drugs by their commanders to keep them awake and aggressive? The details are as follows:

Congratulations! Today you are offered a place in HMG's 'Homes for Ukraine' scheme, at great expense to the British government.

The scheme does not cost you anything. HMG will provide you with benefits, meals, employment, education and health support. HMG pays the home owner £350 per month for at least 6 to 12 months, and the local authority is paid £10,000.

If you hold a valid Ukrainian international passport you will not need to attend a Visa Application Centre, since you can apply online. Children do not need a passport. The name and details of your sponsor (such as me) needs to be entered onto your visa application form.

You can decide how to get out of Ukraine to UK by using the following website. Insert your point of departure, Odessa to Birmingham - 8 ways to travel via train, plane, bus, and night train (rome2rio.com)

The scheme is described on HMG's websites, and started on Friday, March 18th, 2022. Use the following 8 hyperlinks to get further information:

The Russian invasion of the Ukraine is likely to lead to world war three, global thermonuclear war, mutually assured destruction. It will go on for months, with nuclear, chemical, biological and conventional weapons. Since Russia and the Ukraine are major grain and fossil fuel producing regions, it's obvious that food, fertilizer, natural gas, petrol, diesel and kerosene shortages will result in mass starvation for many people around the world. A weakened human population subjected to biological weapons will lead to pandemics, followed by the total collapse of civilisation resulting in lawlessness leading to at least one billion deaths. With the total collapse of the global economy, half the world's human population could die. There will be no nation in the northern hemisphere capable of rebuilding the world, as in the Marshall plan at the end of WWII. The damage will be horrendous and incapable of repair, since almost every part of the northern hemisphere will be contaminated for possibly a century. Putin will see to that, since he has ordered Russia's nuclear warheads to contain long term radioactive isotopes. But the ultimate coup de grâce will come in the form of geo weapons. Namely megaton sized ground bursts at geologically unstable locations, such as at landslide ground faults, earthquake fault lines and super volcanoes. The volcanic dust and tsunamis will wipe out agricultural production across large swathes of the northern hemisphere, possibly for decades. Russian politicians and military relish war. They cannot live without conflict, whilst the general population has a death wish mentality, no doubt reinforced by the poor quality of their lives. Russia is a glowing example of how government convinces people how essential a ruling body is, by engaging in almost perpetual war. Western politicians are scared shit less. They refuse to admit, even to themselves, what is going on, whilst the military see their options reducing in number over time, for they know that an attack on Russia would inevitably mean an attack on the axis of evil (North Korea, Pakistan, Iran) and their supporting nations, including the PRC. None of these mother-fuckers will be allowed to inherit the world after the United States has been obliterated. Based upon previous admissions, every nuclear warhead in the US armoury would be employed, most of them instantly. The first targets would be Russia's Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile nuclear submarine fleet and InterContinental Ballistic Missile silos, together with Electro-Magnetic Pulse warheads designed to destroy all electrical equipment over tens of kilometres radius. And just about everything else would be nuked in the hope of picking off mobile missile launchers, mainly due to the failure to abolish such weapons by adhering to Strategic Arms Limitation Talk agreements. Here in the UK there will be nothing recognizable left standing after WWIII. People throughout the northern hemisphere will be driven back to the stone age. You will live a survivalist lifestyle for the rest of your life. No one will come to your rescue. My home city of Birmingham, a manufacturing hub, will be near the top of the target list. I live about one mile from the city centre.

For years the PRC has been nibbling away at the Spratly Islands and atolls in the South China Sea; turning them into sea ports and airports. They once employed a fleet of over two hundred fishing vessels manned by militia personnel, at Whitsun Reef, to intimidate local Philippine fishing vessels from remaining in the area. If that wasn't enough a PRC aircraft carrier task force was sailed off the Republic of China (Taiwan), as the USG reminded Beijing that it has a defence agreement with both the Philippines and Taiwan. Meanwhile the PRC is imposing its brand of freedom on the citizens of Hong Kong, whilst at any minute the Chinese red army, or the Indian army could invade Burma, now called Myanmar, due to serious countrywide demonstrations against the new military dictatorship there, that appears to enjoy killing children who are simply walking in the streets. And whilst all this is going on, the abuse of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang province in north west China continues, as ISIS terrorism sweeps across sub-Saharan Africa. It would appear that whilst there is a cure for billions of people afflicted with Covid-19, there is still no cure for megalomania. You just know that at this moment around the world, there are young men in missile silos, nuclear submarines, land based mobile launchers, B1, B2, and B52 aircraft and God knows what else, just itching to press the nuclear button, whilst the BBC are saying nothing. Let's see, where on the nuclear target list is Birmingham, UK? Too late to sell up. What happened to Skylon and my proposal for space based kinetic energy weapons, that politicians wouldn't be afraid to use? Dear prime minister, don't you think you should give the go ahead for a decisive military action now, before our rain becomes radioactive? The human race is living on borrowed time.

The USA is believed to have three TR-3Bs, each costing one to three billion dollars, whilst Russia has its 9M730 Burevestnik (NATO ssc-x-9 Skyfall) missile, and Poseidon 2M39 autonomous torpedo, with a two megatonne nuclear warhead. It is two metres in diameter and twenty-two metres long, weighing one hundred tonnes, with an unlimited range. Designed to be launched by a manned submarine in deep waters, its warhead will explode offshore creating a devastating tsunami aka Van Dorn effect. Russia also has an air launched hypersonic cruise missile Ostrota meaning sharpness, and the sea, air, or land launched 3M22 Tsirkon (Zircon) Mach 7 hypersonic cruise missile (range 300km), and the Mach 10 2000km range Kh-47M2 air launched ballistic missile called Khinzhal (Dagger). All of these missiles are nuclear powered. Very expensive and dangerous boy's toys. As for the propulsion of a flying saucer I suggest that you watch the John Searl Effect Generator, aka Levity Disc, on YouTube. Of course some of this could simply be fiction or fantasy, but one gets the strong impression that history is repeating itself. As with Yuri Gagarin, the Russians are ahead of us again, by apparently duplicating a UFO's propulsion system. Now as I understand it the CIA has had this technology in its hands for about seventy years, handing out the knowledge to scientists bit by bit. Well it looks like they've been dragging their feet too effectively. Are we really heading for WWIII or is this conflict a ruse to cover research in technology to be created that can shoot down some UFOs? Shaken by these revelations from Russia, HMG is now spending £6.6 billion over 4 years on military space technology, directed energy weapons (laser & radio frequency), and high speed missiles, from 2021. At present the US military are developing their own hypersonic missile. This DARPA programme called HAWC (Hypersonic Air Breathing Weapon Concept) is being designed and built by Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. This programme follows on from FALCON and BlackSwift.

So what is the solution to all these potential flash points, precursors towards WWIII? Well you simply get rid of the weapons and embrace a world technocracy, but just how do you start that trend? It can only come about through shock and awe. Soon Putin will overstep the mark, at which point the USA will have to flatten Russia with non-Nuclear, Biological, Chemical, and nuclear weapons. Global Positioning System and laser guided and Artificial Intelligence weapons will have to take out the cabinet, parliament, military and energy sectors. Normally one would leave untouched the seat of government, as you need someone to sign the unconditional surrender document and manage the nation, but in this case, they are all gangsters who belong in a concrete coffin. The people who should be running the country are either dead, political prisoners or in exile. This conflict has shown that the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction does not work. This idea forms the entire foundation of the west's defence strategy. It justifies the spending of trillions of dollars of expenditure on armaments. Assuming that there is a tomorrow, this policy pursued by umpteen governments, must be brought to a halt. The only way to do that is through shock and awe, and the people to shock more than any other are the Russian people. They have let Putin expand his web of crime, from his days cooking the books in St Petersburg, to that of a master villain SPECTRE would be proud of in the Kremlin. It's time for the Pentagon to have its day. They have been dreaming of this....I hope, for decades. First to go will be the SLBMs. Sorry guys but we just couldn't figure out a way to make you surrender. The ICBMs will be destroyed by AI weapons as they emerge from the silos, assuming the hatches haven't been crushed by guided munitions. The parliament has to be taken out whilst its sitting, since the aim is to take out as many gangsters (oligarchs) as possible. The energy sector is taken out to make Russians realise just what they have condoned in the Ukraine, and to toughen up the mindset of EU citizens now without their radiant heaters at their favourite bar or street restaurant. Russia's manufacturing capability must also be taken out, in order to ensure that it ceases manufacturing weapons, thereby putting an end to the arms race between east and west. The world's military-industrial complexes will be scaled back considerably. And there won't be any east and west will there. All this destruction will be filmed and broadcast to educate the world, as a prelude to the United Nations creating a world technocracy.... hopefully. Whether a WT is created will depend upon just how selfless political leaders are. This last hurdle is harder than you might think, because the entire fundamental strategy of government is to make the masses think that government is essential, in order to protect its citizens. In order to do that, many of them deliberately create wars.

Governments that pursue this policy more than any other are known as the axis of evil. Originally composed of Saddam Hussein's Ba'athist Iraq, which launched chemical weapons against its own citizens at Halabja during the Iran-Iraq war; Iran, whose nuclear programme has enriched uranium well above civilian needs; Colonel Gadaffi's Libya, which is believed to have blown up Pan Am flight 103 at Lockerbie, Scotland; Pakistan which stole uranium enrichment technology from Euratom, Almelo, Netherlands; Bashar al-Assad's Syria which is still engaged in a bloody civil war; Kim Jong Un's North Korea which obtained nuclear weapons details from the PRC, and the terrorist groups Al Qaeda which attacked the World Trade Center, New York on September 11th, 2001 and the Taliban who now rule over Afghanistan. There are minor terrorist groups affiliated to major terrorist groups/rogue states, etc. operating in Yemen, Ethiopia, Somalia, and the Sahel region of Africa. Some of these terrorist groups are financed by intelligence agencies, with the intention of undermining other nations. Terrorism is waged in the main by people who simply have not got anything else better to do, and have nothing to lose. Few have any realistic political aims, and only want death and destruction. Their actions will only be concluded when money is replaced by SPEVs, and everyone is given a meaningful purpose in life.

When you look at this long list of conflicts, you must realise that the only sane way for the human race to conduct itself should be through a world technocracy managed by highly trained and qualified technocrats, and ultimately, solely by artificial intelligence, if the human race is to survive. To prevent corruption, money must be replaced by Person Specific Electronic Vouchers. Both these ideas are described in detail in the final four chapters of this ideas section.

This war in the Ukraine has resulted in trade embargoes and the freezing of state assets and that of Putin's oligarchs. Since both Russia and the Ukraine are major exporters of grain, whilst Russia is a major exporter of natural gas to the EU, this has resulted in sudden and large increases in the cost of energy, particularly for domestic users. In answer to an article on MSN (Microsoft Edge browser) on 02-04-2022, I wrote the following:

It's plainly obvious that we need a world technocracy. Instead we have a cabinet of deadwood, incapable of mobilizing the nation's workforce to build green energy plants such as the Severn Tidal Barrage, mini hydro electric schemes on our rivers and mountain streams, and wind farms on Anglesey and Pembrokeshire, not to mention millions of highly insulated and spacious 3D printed homes fit for the twenty-first century. This is a nation that doesn't even mass produce photo-voltaic panels, with a government that doesn't make sense. Is the government deliberately making its successor's job more difficult, or does the thought of being a major energy supplier to the EU go against the grain? Now is not the time to wait for small nuclear power stations from Rolls-Royce. The dithering must stop NOW! People will die from high energy and food prices and the Conservatives are to blame. Thatcher sold off British Gas and saw to it that our energy reserves were squandered in gas fired power stations. From the sale of our nationalised assets she used the money to finance an unrealistically low top rate of income tax, that has stayed at that level, roughly ever since. Those assets belonged to all of the people, not millionaires. The money should have gone into a sovereign wealth fund, which could have paid a dividend to citizens, instead of welfare benefits, in an age of AI. Corruption isn't only found in Russia. It's time the electorate voted for independent technocrats in government.

On September 8th, 2022, the day Queen Elizabeth II died at Balmoral, North Korea announced that it was now a nuclear state and would be entitled to launch pre-emptive nuclear strikes, as Ukrainian forces took an area twice the size of Greater London from Russian invaders, thanks to the use of a plethora of US long range surface to surface rockets known as HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System), GPS guided artillery shells and visual, infrared, electronic and radar military intelligence satellites. Now every activity could be seen on the battlefield and destroyed without warning with pin-point accuracy. There was no hiding place for the average soldier, and they knew it. The stress from knowing that must be enormous. Would they surrender on mass? The concept of the military battlefield was becoming extinct. The invasion was unwinnable. What would the Russians do, pull out or go nuclear? There was growing dissent in Moscow, but the removal of one man would not bring about change for the better. Clearly to do that his ministers, assassins and corrupt oligarchs would have to be removed and put on trial, as possibly 50,000 Russian lives had been lost in the Ukraine, not to mention Chechnya, Georgia and Syria in recent years. The step to returning Russia to the real world will not be easy. Reparations, returning ill gotten gains to the sovereign wealth fund, and correcting legal injustice, are just a few of those steps before international acceptance can be achieved. In 1503 the battle of Cerignola, near Naples Italy took place between the French and Spanish armed forces. In it the Spanish cannons and long guns defeated the French armoured cavalry and pikemen. It was a turning point in warfare. From then on gunpowder based weapons would replace all types of weapons that went before. The war in the Ukraine signaled the beginning of the end of the battlefield. On September 20th President Putin clearly hadn't got the message, when he called up reservists with military experience. It was the Vietnam war mentality all over again. Clearly many Russians wanted their forces to be extracted, but in the USA that took Congress to appoint President Gerald Ford to do the job. There was no sign of a courageous Duma doing that. Would it end in global thermonuclear war, with Putin finally getting his page in history? Needless to say the National Health Service in the UK was anything but prepared, as all that HMG wanted were low taxes, whilst stoking the flames in the Ukraine by supplying British weapons and military training.

September 26th, 2022...the Ukrainian government estimated that Russia had lost lost 2290 tanks, 4857 armored vehicles, 260 military jets, and 15 vessels. Russian casualties amounted to 57,000, with 3.5 million Ukrainians homeless, with 500 pharmacies and 200 ambulances destroyed. 18 Ukrainian doctors have been killed and 43 injured. Three days later it was determined that the two Nord Stream gas pipelines located on the Baltic Sea sea bed, had been ruptured in four places near the Danish island of Bornholm. Referendums were also held in four Russian speaking areas of east Ukraine, which the Russian government intends to annex. Over one million Russians flee Russia to avoid the call up of 300,000 reservists to fight in Ukraine. Finland to close its border with Russia tomorrow. Norway to use its troops to guard petroleum facilities. The war was spreading.

January 26th, 2023...Germany and the United States have just agreed to give Ukraine tanks. Other countries such as Poland and the UK have already agreed to hand over offensive weapons. When will Putin and his cabinet realise that they will never win, and that the only recourse is to withdraw their troops and pay for the damage caused. It would appear that the UK and USA are playing a long waiting game, since both are involved in research into hypersonic missiles and vehicles. They are trying to catch up with Russia on the technology front. It would appear that my letter to PM May in 2016 was premature.

August 2023...Scandinavian countries and the USA have agreed to supply the Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets. This is an escalation of this war between the Ukraine and Russia. It is my belief that this war should be protracted by the Ukraine (NATO) with the use of thousands of AI semi-controlled UAVs (Unmanned Air Vehicles). UAVs of various types and sizes could bring total dominance not just of the battlefield, but of an entire enemies territory, since electric battery powered UAVs could advance, by charging their batteries from the enemies electricity power grid and domestic outlets. This war must be concluded swiftly, as the longer it progresses the more capable the enemy becomes, whilst the more lethal the weaponry employed, the more dangerous it becomes for everyone on the planet. Poland, spending billions on tanks from the USA and South Korea is not the solution. There is no place on the battlefield for armoured vehicles in this age of multi-frequency satellite reconnaissance, anti-tank missiles and shape charged IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices). It is now possible to fight a war without putting your own forces in harms way. Unfortunately politicians only want what their future adversary has got. Namely tanks and other status symbols, which Jane's publications list, as an indicator of comparative strength, which is believed to have deterrent value. It is my belief that NATO is deliberately stretching out this war in order to eliminate almost all extremists in Russia. Anyone thinking that Russia will not dare use nuclear weapons, should read these news articles. It is a clear example of a nation in meltdown with nothing to lose.

Has it ever occurred to governments that they may be fighting the wrong opponent? Extraterrestrials exist, that is a certainty. Their objectives are not known. They are interested in our nuclear technology, and probably all of our technology. The fundamental flaw of the human race is that it craves to broaden that envelope in technology, in a free for all capitalist environment which no one controls. Has it ever occurred to anyone that this technology we are developing, could be used against us? Soon AI will be everywhere, but will there be adequate controls on its use? What is to stop ET from controlling it, and using it against us? Well they can already launch our ICBMs, if incidents in US and USSR silos are anything to go by. Maybe they are waiting for a potential army of androids to be manufactured, before they take over.

October 2023...Russia announces that the nuclear powered cruise missile Burevestnik has successfully completed a test flight after numerous failures. It can strike at any target anywhere in the world. A simultaneous attack could completely destroy a nation within seconds. Its high speed and almost no vapour trail, make it impossible to track. It has made the concept of mutually assured destruction obsolete. This is a major game changer at a time when the USA is effectively bankrupt, with Congress refusing to let the nation get further into debt. The need for greater coexistence is now even more apparent.

February 2024...The UK's MoD estimated that at least 350,000 Russian troops had been killed or injured in the conflict. The Ukrainian government states that its casualty list includes 31,000 dead troops.

March 2024...The war in east Ukraine had ground to a stalemate, with the antagonists separated by extensive minefields. The war was now conducted with long range artillery and drones, with sabotage groups operating within Russia. Both sides were now employing military personnel from other countries.

Microsoft's CoPilot has the following to say about the Chinese attitude to war. The concept of winning a war without actually engaging in direct combat has been a fascinating topic in military strategy. One notable Chinese figure associated with this idea is Sun Tzu, the ancient military strategist and author of "The Art of War." In his timeless work, Sun Tzu emphasized that true excellence lies not merely in winning battles through force, but in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting. He advocated for deception as a powerful tool in warfare. According to Sun Tzu, "in all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory." China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has also embraced this philosophy. Under the strategic guideline of “winning informationized local wars,” the PLA recognizes the changing nature of warfare. They focus on information warfare, asymmetric approaches, and the use of hybrid warfare—all aligned with Sun Tzu’s principles. In 2003, the Communist Party’s Central Committee and Central Military Commission introduced the concept of "Three Warfares". This set of strategies aims to safeguard China’s national interests by leveraging psychological warfare, media manipulation, and legal warfare. The goal is to achieve victory without necessarily engaging in traditional armed conflict. So, while the idea of winning without fighting may seem paradoxical, it underscores the importance of strategic thinking, deception, and alternative approaches in achieving military objectives.

March 2024... The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has now gone on for over two years. The war continues in the air, with both sides employing drones verses anti-aircraft systems. On the ground both sides are separated from the other by extensive mine fields. It is obvious to me that as weapons get more sophisticated, there will come a time when AI weapons will enlarge the battlefield, triggering a global conflict. To prevent that, the war must be terminated now. All forces must return to their pre-invasion bases and the battlefield cleaned up.

October 7th, 2023...The terrorist group Hamas, that administers the Gaza strip in the Holy Land, attacked Israel with thousands of unguided rockets, and hundreds of commandos, either on motor cycles or on para gliders, an operation described as the Al Aqsa Flood. Hundreds of Israeli civilians were tortured, beheaded or burned alive in nearby dwellings. Israeli military and security personnel were also killed. About 250 people were taken hostage, kept in a maze of tunnels under Gaza. It took the IDF (Israeli Defence Forces) twelve hours to reach these isolated communities, which does beggar the question, what were the police doing, and why didn't the kibbutz have their own armoury? The attack was on a Jewish holiday. HMG and USG immediately gave support to the Israeli government's call for retribution and apparent genocide. 300,000 troops were to be called up, as it slowly emerged that nowhere was safe in the Gaza strip from bombing by F-16s. This of course beggars another question. Why had the IDF done nothing to stop the construction of miles of tunnels in Gaza? They could see them developing from radar satellite images. Israel gets this intelligence from the US. I remember years ago a Palestinian child being recovered from a cellar, where the father had kept him due to his deformity, I believe. These satellites can penetrate more than a kilometre underground where the soil is dry. It all indicated that this war was premeditated, with very high stakes. Whilst watching Al Jazeera news on October 17th, the situation in Gaza suddenly got worse, with news of the destruction of the Palestinian Al Ahli Baptist hospital resulting in 200 to 300 dead. The figure was quickly raised to 500, mainly children seeking refuge after vacating northern Gaza on the orders of the IDF. The car park of the hospital was not hit by a high explosive bomb, since there was only a very small crater with cars burned but not blasted, but what appeared to be an incendiary designed to extract oxygen from the air, namely a thermobaric device designed to kill large numbers of people. The terrorist group Hezbollah, in Lebanon, immediately called for 'a day of rage'. The UK prime minister Rishi Sunak later said that it was probably a misguided Hamas rocket.

The incident came as little surprise to me. The IDF had already bombed about 15 clinics and convoys of ambulances. Months before we had seen protests by Jews in Israel about the election of a hard lined government and their attempt to undermine the legal system, which would presumably make them less accountable for the horrors they were planning. About 60 Palestinians were killed by the IDF and police on the West Bank in the days leading up to this incident. It slowly occurred to me that these incidents had been planned well in advance, possibly years. In 2019 an antisematism in the Labour Party report was published. As a result 350 of its members were expelled, resigned or given formal warnings. The electorate had seen the Labour Party in the UK taken over by non socialists, whilst its former leader Jeremy Corbyn, had been thrown out of the party after stating that claims of antisematism in the party had been exaggerated. Saying anything against the Jews in the UK was now strictly taboo, if not illegal. Saying anything about Hamas that could be construed as supportive, was now illegal. And since October 4th the lower house of congress, in Washington DC, had been without a speaker, meaning that no debates could take place, including any attempts to reign in the US president over developments in the Holy Land. They have even silenced former president Donald Trump who is undergoing trial by a hundred court cases, it seems. And of course the Israelies demanded on October 25th that the United Nation's Secretary General Antonio Guterres resign after showing sympathy for the Palestinian people in a speech, saying that Hamas actions did not happen in a vacuum. Whose next? The United Nations had become a hall of piss and wind, as a contest developed between Russia and the USA to see who's conflict statement would get adopted.

Israel was on the cusp of being wiped out by Iran in a nuclear attack and vise versa. Uranium had already been enriched by Iran beyond what was needed in nuclear power stations. The implication was obvious. The Iranians had already stated that they wanted to destroy Israel. Had the Al Aqsa Flood been planned by Iran to take Israel's eye off Iranian enrichment? So what was the IDF plan? Clearly they wanted to stir things up amongst the Palestinians. Kill, kill and kill again until they fought back, and no doubt they would implicate Iran in all this, claiming that they had supplied weapons and know how, thereby justifying the use of VX nerve gas bombs and shells upon the Palestinians and nuclear bombs and missiles upon the Iranians. And no doubt the Israeli government expected the rest of the world to do absolutely nothing to stop it. Well the US president, UK prime minister and leader of the UK opposition in parliament quickly voiced their support, as did just about every government in Europe. Meanwhile the PRC and Russia voiced their concerns at the UN (United Nations). Israel was the USA's unsinkable aircraft carrier. So much so that there were large US military stockpiles of munitions on Israeli territory, freely available to the IDF. Just why HMG was so keen to get involved, I found hard to figure out. Maybe they had to, or watch the Jewish controlled banking system brand the pound sterling junk status. Which of course it is, along with most currencies, including the US dollar. I remember an incident with a similar outcome originating in Kuala Lumpur a few years ago, but I could find no details on the internet. So why hadn't the IDF used sleeping gas on the Hamas fighters in order to retrieve the hostages? Surely they could do it better than the Russian attempt a few years before, where everyone got killed. In the end, more Israeli soldiers would be killed than there were hostages.

The world was sliding towards WWIII. The PRC had its unsinkable aircraft carrier in North Korea, whilst Russia had its in Syria. Israel had gone beyond the pale. There was no place for it in the Middle East. Maybe the USG should offer the Jews a reservation, where they could learn the hard way, what it's like to be treated by ones masters. Similarly, Egypt could have offered the Sinai, and Jordan could have offered most of the north eastern part of Jordan called Al Mafraq to the Palestinians, the advantage of the latter is that there would be no common border with Israel. The fact that they didn't underlines the seething hatred that exists in the region. An arena of back-stabbers. As for the cost of the Al Mafraq proposal, let us assume that the homes were 3D printed and cost US$10,000 each. The Palestinian population is only 6 million people. That's just two thirds of the population of Cairo. The total cost including, roads, public swimming pools, government buildings, etc., is likely to be around US$20 billion. That may sound like a lot of money, but at the moment of writing USG wants Congress to approve the expenditure of at least US$3.8 billion on this war, plus $124 billion since 1946. With nothing to show for it in the long run. Will common sense prevail? In the long run, Palestine may turn out to be as illusive as a homeland for the Kurds, presently an autonomous region of Iraq called Kurdish Autonomous Region

As for the aftermath of a nuclear attack on the Dimona nuclear facility, etc., such an underground nuclear explosion could result in the Levant cracking between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea, resulting in the Jordan River valley flooding to sea level, whilst the blast would leave little to fight over. A nuclear war would result in the horrors of ethnic cleansing since 1945 in the Holy Land, fade into insignificance. The taboo on the use of nuclear weapons will have been broken, possibly leading to a global race to oblivion. Right now the media are anticipating an invasion of the Gaza strip (or should it be Gaza Ghetto), but it's a move that may never come. Israel could simply starve its inhabitants to death, whilst leaving its forces in reserve to face the post nuclear apocalyptic world that the human race has feared for so long. The only acceptable solution is a political one. A world without borders must be created...a WT (World Technocracy) and the replacement of money with SPEVs (Specific Person Electronic Vouchers). To make that a reality, young people around the world must train themselves to be technocrats, as described on this website, and then enter politics. Life is tough, but at least at the moment, you've got life.

It's plainly obvious to me that there is no future for Israel in the Middle East. If it can't make friends with its neighbours in seventy-five years, then it never will. It may be able to defeat militarily Hamas and Hezbollah, but they will only be replaced by similar groups. If the Americans really wanted to solve this problem, then they could offer the Jews an autonomous reservation somewhere along their gulf coast for instance, or maybe an Hawaiian Island. But they won't, because of this aircraft carrier mentality. The west supports the hard pressed people of the Ukraine against Russia's invasion, but the lack of similar support for Palestinians appears to be nothing more than a symptom of the west's racist mentality. Moslems are inferior to Jews and Christians, and that's that. Politicians in the west have aligned themselves with this genocide, and therefore, may one day find themselves in the dock, because they currently do not represent the wishes of most of their electorate on this problem.

As of October 20th 2023, the view of neighbouring states is that Israel wants to eject all their Palestinians into Egypt and Jordan, which they are against. As water, food and electricity remain switched off in Gaza, the presiding view is that the situation will only get worse. In my opinion this plan was drawn up by the CIA and Mosad, with no regard for the safety of anyone in the Holy Land. It also appears to be out of date. The unsinkable aircraft carrier mentality was produced in order to safeguard energy supplies to the USA, but today the USA is the largest producer of crude oil, 19 million barrels as opposed to 11 million barrels from Saudi Arabia, per day. In addition, Iran is no more a threat to Israel than North Korea is to South Korea, Japan and USA. If Iran was nuked, Pakistan, a neighbouring Moslem country and an original member of the axis of evil, might launch its missiles at Israel, or North Korea might launch its. Saying Israel shouldn't exist is a big difference from actually launching a nuclear attack, knowing that if you did your country would be obliterated by the USA, because it would have to in order to maintain world dominance. You have lost everything achieved in your country in the decades before. It is therefore not a decision to be taken lightly.

As the days that the citizens of Gaza live without water, food and electricity mount up, and hundreds of bombs fall each day, one gets the feeling that this is nothing more than the equivalent of a live fire training ground for personnel, and a test range for new weapons and tactics. I am of course referring to the United States, who are supplying the weapons. The USA is in a fix. For the first time in its modern history its weapons and strategy are being outclassed by Russia, which has just announced the first successful test of its nuclear powered global range hypersonic cruise missile called Burevestnik. It is invulnerable. And of course, there is the 3M22 Zircon, Mach 9, anti-ship missile, with a range of 1000km, which is already in service with the Russian Navy.

By October 27th, 2023 the toll had amounted to 1405 Israelis killed mostly in the initial Hamas attack including over two hundred soldiers and police, 104 dead Palestinians on the West bank and rising, 1400 Palestinians arrested, often for trivial matters, 7,326 Palestinians killed. 24 journalists and 57 members of the UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) killed, with 50 captives killed in air raids. Following the killing of 16 people by a lone gunman in the United States, the BBC News told viewers that there had been 48,830 gun related deaths there in the year 2021. Could it be that USG has lost its sense of responsibility and the norm? Draft resolutions were voted on at the UN building, New York. At a special emergency session a two thirds majority of members agreed to a humanitarian truce in Gaza. Israel and the United States voted against the resolution, whilst the Israeli representative called the United Nations an irrelevance, or words to that effect. It was in effect an invitation for widespread war in the Middle East. The lights went out across the Gaza Strip as telephones and internet were cut off. Emergency services could no longer receive help calls and neither could they coordinate assistance. It was blatant genocide.

Each bomb that fell on Gaza was another nail in Israel's coffin. Why couldn't the Israeli government see this? Are they so filled with hate? No, they have been filled with arrogance since their outright victory in the 1967 Arab-Israeli six day war. They are definitely not trying to win hearts and minds. If you can't make friends with your neighbours in 75 years, then its clear that it'll never happen. So what's the end game? Maybe they are not aware of the CIA's big picture, which necessitates the complete destruction of the Middle East by nuclear weapons. This is because the USA is in a fix, as is the rest of NATO. If you can't defeat a potential enemy militarily in war games, then you have to some-how make peace. And that can only come about through shock and awe. Hamas is launching thousands of rockets at Israel indiscriminately. These rockets cost about $800 each and are being shot down by Israeli Iron Dome missiles costing $40,000 each. At this rate it won't be long before Israel and the USA run out of enough money to wage war. They will have no choice but to go nuclear. The leaders of Russia, PRC and North Korea are pretty elderly, and no doubt plans are already in place to liquidate them if shock and awe does not get them to abandon their ideology in favour of a world order. But whose world order? Mine? I think that's too much to hope for, unless for once the human race insists upon shaping its own future. The only organisations that could influence this conclusion are the world's international credit rating agencies like Fitch, Standard & Poor, and Moody's Investors Service. But they are unlikely to go for SPEVs, are they?

No sooner had I written this than Standard & Poor downgrades the Israeli Shekel from stable to negative. Israel's $500 billion economy is being hit by all the call-ups, bringing the construction industry to a stand still, etc. And just how are the Palestinian people going to be housed when just about half the buildings in Gaza have been destroyed? Does the Israeli government intend to house them in Bedouin tents anchored to the fragmented crumbling concrete slabs of their former homes? There are only 6.5 million Moslem Palestinians in the Middle East, plus 7 million Israeli Jews. How can a conflict involving so few people be allowed to bring the world so close to world war?

By mid November the war appears to have reached a conclusion, with Israeli tanks surrounding the Al Shifa hospital in Gaza, which the IDF says shields the Hamas HQ. There are now 11,320 Palestinians killed including 4650 children. 29,000 Palestinians have been injured. 3250 palestinians are missing, including 1700 children. 200 medical personnel have been killed, whilst Hamas say 60 captives have been killed by IDF bombing and shelling. There are believed to be 2500 people seeking refuge and medical care in Al Shifa hospital, as the IDF takes away Hamas suspects for interrogation. 2280 people have been detained on the west bank, where 196 Palestinians have now been killed and 2400 injured. A total of 1200 Israelis have been killed, including 300 soldiers. Nations and terrorist groups in the Middle East are remaining calm, whilst in the UK a Labour Party vote results in shadow ministers resigning over Sir Keir Starmer's right wing stance towards Hamas, in not calling for a cease fire. The US, Russia and UK abstain in a UN security council vote on the subject. An open letter from White House staff displays dissatisfaction in the US president's policy. If the USG is trying for a nuclear war in the Middle East, then clearly it appears to have failed so far. Standard & Poor, Fitch and Moody now rate US treasuries negative. Interest on US debt for 2023 is projected to be $640 billion, whilst credit card debt stands at $1 trillion. It turned out to be a false conclusion. The war would go on and on and on, ultimately spreading as I predicted.

On 24-11-2023 began the swap of hostages and prisoners. Three palestinians would be swapped for each Hamas hostage. The process would take about two months, during which there would be a series of negotiated cease fires. After which, who knows? As the number of releases were published, it became obvious that Israel wasn't playing by the rules. No sooner did they release minor offenders, than they arrested more in the West Bank. The IDF had now detained 3,100 people, mainly from the West Bank in recent weeks. The cease fire was extended, but for how much longer? According to the news media Aljazeera, there were 15,000 Palestinians killed, including 6150 children and 4,000 women. 65 media personnel had been killed, plus 108 United Nations and 207 medical staff. Palestinian casualties in the West Bank amounted to 241 killed and 2,900 injured in IDF snatch raids and suicidal protests, such as children throwing stones. Gaza was the Warsaw ghetto, whilst the Palestinians were the untermensch. That's how it appeared to me, and no doubt to billions of other people, who watched it on TV in the comfort of their own homes. When Israel declared its independence in 1948, it offered its hand of help to the Jews across the Middle East. Many, like the Jews from Yemen could not even read and write, and yet with the assistance of reparations from Germany, they were able to turn them into an essential asset. Today there was no helping hand, no two state solution, just pig headed vandalism on an epic scale. The Holy Land had become a desert without empathy, which few nations wanted to interact with. As the dead piled up, the day of judgement came closer to hand.

December 6th, 2023...Reports coming in of short selling of shares on Israel & USA stock markets in April, September and October 2023, indicating prior knowledge of the Hamas attack on October 7th. Who was doing it has yet to be revealed. Profit could exceed $100 million. I seem to remember the Al-Qaeda terrorist group doing that prior to 9/11, the airliner attacks on the twin towers World Trade Center, New York, and US DoD, Pentagon, Washington DC. A few weeks later the IDF attacked financial institutions in the West Bank, finding millions of shekels (Israeli currency).

One month later 5,755 Palestinians have been arrested since October 7th. Over 23,000 Palestinians have been killed, including 291 in the West Bank, with at least 52,000 injured. The UNRWA states that 142 medical personnel have been killed (see hyperlink). Almost 100 press personnel have been killed with 400 imprisoned. 1139 Israelis have been killed in the Holy Land, including 180+ soldiers. There are now 136 hostages in Gaza. The IDF claims that the northern sector is free of terrorists, whilst also stating that the conflict will probably last another 6 months or more. The Palestinians have been pushed to the south into tented communities as the weather becomes much worse. People refuse to carry mobile phones, as it is plainly obvious that the IDF warplanes are targeting them. Two key figures in Syria (Sayyed Razi Mousavi - military adviser) and Lebanon (Wissam al-Tawil - commander) have been killed as the Israeli government tries to expand the conflict, in an attempt to eventually justify the use of nuclear weapons in the Middle East. Just days apart, a third incident involved the killing of 89 people at the grave of Guard Gen Qassem Soleimani in Iran. The incident was claimed by Islamic State. These incidents are a CIA attempt to create shock and awe in Moscow, Beijing and Pyongyang, in my opinion. When you look at the big picture, it's plainly obvious that the Palestinians, along with many other nationalities in the Middle East, are regarded as expendable.

Under the international rules of war, both sides in this conflict appear to have committed war crimes, and by association so do the governments that have supplied weapons to them, including USG and HMG, which could make their respective political parties illegal organisations. As the bombing and starving of Palestinian civilians continues, and calls for a cease fire from UN member states is vetoed by USG, that scenario comes closer to reality.

January 11th, 2024 saw the charge of genocide against Israel, brought before the International Court of Justice, at the Hague, by South Africa. Also Iran launched missiles against terrorist groups in Syria, Iraq and Pakistan. On January 18th Pakistan retaliated, launching missiles at Iran, whilst the US Navy launched tomahawk missiles at targets in Yemen. It was the fourth attack, the first involved the UK's RAF aiming at Houthi government targets, following their attacks on merchant ships bound for Israel, in the Red Sea, in support of Palestine. Such attacks had put up insurance rates resulting in cargo ships diverting their routes from the Far East to Europe via the Cape of Good Hope, instead of the Suez Canal.

February 6th, 2024 Following an attack in northern Jordan which killed 3 American servicemen, the US military attacked numerous targets, in Iraq, of the terrorist group responsible, with a promise of more to come. The group is financed by Iran which also finances groups in Lebanon, Syria and Yemen. Meanwhile the bombing of Gaza continues. Over 27,000 Palestinians are dead. Protests from USG employees over USG policy in the Middle East increases. There is a growing feeling in me that the US electorate may vote Donald Trump to be their next president as a means of destroying the present US political system, if he can avoid going to prison as a result of all the legal cases against him.

After five months of near continuous bombing and shelling, peace talks between Hamas and the Israeli government broke down when Hamas failed to reveal how many hostages were still alive. Presumably many of them, including Hamas members, are dead. By now 31,112 Palestinians had been killed, plus 158 UN workers and 133 press reporters. Twenty-five babies had died from starvation in northern Gaza, as mothers are unable to feed their babies, due to the blocking of food and fuel deliveries from Egypt, whilst the spectre of disease lay on the horizon. The USG had promised to build a sea port for the purpose of shipping in aid, but how long would that take, months? Why weren't they using amphibious landing ships. Meanwhile small shipments were parachute dropped from Jordan. Rockets continued to be launched from southern Lebanon, whilst the RAF and US continued to bomb Yemen in retaliation at the sinking of merchant shipping.

On March 25th, 2024 the United Nation's Security Council voted for a cease fire. The USA abstained. Such a decision could result in nations breaking off trade and political links with Israel. By now there maybe 134 hostages still alive, as the indiscriminate killing of Palestinians by the IDF continues. The Palestinian death toll now stands at 454 in the West Bank and 32,552 in the Gaze strip, with 74,980 injured.

April 1st, 2024 saw an attack on three vehicles at least 100m apart in Gaza, belonging to a charity called World Central Kitchen. Each of the vehicles was hit by a missile, probably launched from an IDF drone. Seven aid workers in these vehicles were killed, three of whom were British. They had been recruited via an agency called Solace Global, with many having military or disaster relief experience. The vehicles were clearly marked on the roof with the charity logo, whilst their movements were conveyed to the Israeli authorities in advance. The IDF were in fact managing the entire process. As each vehicle was hit, the survivors got into a remaining vehicle. Despite this, and the recommendation from its legal advisers not to sell military hardware to Israel, HMG turned a blind eye, despite protests from important individuals. The UN called for a suspension of military material going to Israel. Two officers of the IDF were fired. Whilst the US president gave the Israeli prime minister a verbal ticking off, what really mattered was what the Arab world would do in the long run. Israel was a sinking ship, with HMG, the cause of all this trouble, nailed to the mast.

On April 1st, 2024, Israel's IDF attacked the Iranian embassy in Damascus killing 16 people, including 8 members of Iran's revolutionary guard. Two weeks later Iran retaliated by launching 303 rockets and drones at Israel. All but one were intercepted. The bombing of Gaza continued. On May 1st, 2024 student protests in US Universities, calling for an end to the genocide and the breaking of links with Israel, were being met with lines of riot police. The Israeli government was threatening to attack Rafah, where 1.5 million Palestinian refugees were located. The Palestian death tole had now reached 34,596, with 77,816 injured. There were now 182 UN personnel dead, 143 media personnel dead, 491 Palestinians killed in the West Bank, 1139 Israelis killed and 263 IDF soldiers. There was no sign of this conflict coming to an end.
