I’m not sure we need links to six mainstream press articles about Kissinger.
Nor me !
The DS is run by sceptics who pine for the world to go back to “normal”..
My impression is that they don’t fully accept that we live in a completely broken system and that there is no going back.
We either get the dystopian madness that is being pushed on us or we build something entirely new and hopefully better. Those are the only two options as far as I can see.
stewart, as you believe that voting is a waste of time, and that ‘the ballot box achieves nothing”, by what means do you think it’s possible to “build something entirely new and hopefully better”?
“Why anyone would waste their time voting is really beyond me.”
“The ballot box achieves nothing.”

This is happening all over the place – small communities creating change in small ways that serve those in the communities. We are not waiting for a saviour and, if you haven’t already noticed, you certainly won’t find one through the ballot box of whatever colour you vote for – red, green, blue, yellow…just different shades of the same persuasion. Our system IS broken that is clear. Many of us would like to go back but obviously that is not going to happen So, we have to go forward and create something together. To just give in is not an option. So while we watch in stupefaction as yet another piece of the ridiculous giant jigsaw is put into place, we can also shrug our shoulders and start building what we want. It is not going to be easy, I grant you but what other choice do we have?
100% Aethelred
Hopefully by means of non compliance and non-violent resistance.
What voting gets us is serfdom within a dystopian nightmare, run by technocrats. Because that’s the only option on the ballot.
If enough people realise that and refuse to participate, then the system breaks down by itself and then there will be the opportunity to put something else in its place.
I don’t have all the answers. All I know is what there is now leads to more and more misery.
If you’re going to stand in the system approved queue with the rest of the proles and put a cross in one of the system approved boxes, and vote for the next system approved party, so they can stick one system approved middle finger up to you, then I’m not sure God would agree you’re that good.
Especially seeing as Kissinger was a trilateral commission member, Bilderberger the mentor for Klaus Schwab and the instrument for bringing a Communjst totalitarian regime into the second most powerful country in the world, was behind escalation of every US war around the world under the guise of limited war doctrine….
I suppose being sceptical has a wierd spin now.
There, some balance;-

I’m sure he was a lovely chap.
Kissinger was a nasty warmongering, war criminal
Children Are A Blessing To Humanity – latest leaflet to print at home and deliver to neighbours or forward to politicians, media, friends online.
This comes as no surprise but it’s good to have the evidence. However, what tests are used to determine migrants’ ages ( if they arrive without documentation ) in other countries, such as the UK? And why can’t this bone test be standardized for all arrivals to Europe? Especially if it’s already established that this is an old trick they use, to lie about their age.
”In one French department, 80 percent of minors tested were determined to have lied about being minors and are actually adults, said Charles de Courson, a French MP of the center-right Union of Democrats and Independents, while speaking in the French General Assembly.
“Eighty percent of unaccompanied migrants in France’s northeast Marne department who declared themselves thus are not minors,” said de Courson said in a speech translated by Remix News. “In retrospect, for us, in my department, where there are 240 (of them), following the checks — more exactly bone analyses — 80 percent have been found not to be minors.”
Migrants have a significant motive to lie about their age, as they can gain access to a number of financial benefits and, perhaps most importantly, are not eligible for deportation.
Cases of adult migrants lying about their age are not unique to France. A study from Belgium found that 73 percent of “underage migrants” were actually adults.
In Sweden, the numbers were even starker, with 84 percent of “child migrants” tested by Swedish health authorities actually turning out to be adults aged 18 or older, according to a report from the BBC.”

“‘It’s not a great look that we’re sending three private jets there, is it?’”
Depends how you look at the risk, perhaps. After all, if one of them crashed, the other two are likely to survive, but if they are all in one …..
that he ‘accepts the hypocrisy,’ but the UK’s ‘high profile delegation’ has to get to COP28 somehow.’
No you don’t. Don’t know why they couldn’t do it all via Zoom or Microsoft Teams. After all it is about saving the planet isn’t it?
“No Muslims are involved “in the senior editorial processes” at Radio 5 Live…”
It might be interesting to discover how many Christians are involved in them, if any.
I suspect this grifter is angling for a higher paid job, along with some victim style publicity.
What, no obits for Shane McGuire? Recognised as one of the best lyricists of his generation, beloved punk icon and inspiration to singers, writers and drunken bums everywhere. Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without the Fairytale, sung with gusto by everyone from karaoke families to village choirs. RIP Shane, drunk, hero, legend. Thanks for the all the songs.

I second that WyrdWoman.
Wholeheartedly.
McGuire?
Exellent balanced reporting again DS..
6 articles patting the back of the late Kissinger, but not one on the global destabilisation, death and destruction the vile man caused.
In all honesty this publication is beyond a joke, I’m done…
Ps, he was Jew….
Can’t get your head around facts can you…
Are you arguing with yourself? That aside, It’s interesting to see how the mainstream treats Kissinger which I think may be the point of all the article links. He was by no means the puppet master though, more the willing and able servant. He served and shared the vision of immensely wealthy and powerful interests. Watching what he did however, one gets the true picture of the diabolical minds behind the actions. It’s sort of morbidly fascinating like watching a spider construct a vast web.
Not my business and of course you should do what feels best; I thought about leaving the subscription because of the lack of skepticism about which side of the globalist power equation the DS had become.
There was the clear lack of skepticism and historical context for the Ukraine war, there was the occasional article from an anonymous source decrying the potential benefits of the technological control grid in the pipeline, and now this notion that we should sympathise that it’s ok to scream antisemitism at any criticism of Israel (just like the leftists have only just stopped accusing antijabbers of being extreme right winger Nazi sympathisers.) and accuse Palestinians of basically all being terrorists, cause you know they are dirty muhammedans.
But is it not worth calling them out here in as calm as possible terms? We turned out to be right about Ukraine… Ian Rons is nowhere to be seen now on this issue…
Personally I find it’s worth the subscription for that and the articles where they are actually based.
I’d like to see what would happen if Christians decided to protest at Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha or Diwali festivals?
Why on earth does anyone think a debate between Gavin NewScum and Ron de SwampPiss will be of any importance at all?
