Thanks Celia, with our own coincidences in mind, though we have never met, I just signed up for a year.

I have always had the feeling - and maybe just based on Le Carre spy novels - that the UK still believes it is running the world and that it considers the US and the CIA annoying but useful "cousins". There is a huge banking presence in the UK that, IMO, seems to have fuck-all to do with the hapless UK citizenry. Like Parliament, which seems only to exist for punishing the citizenry. Like our Congress, but much more open about it. Anyway, it seems to me that the UK is meddling everywhere, and that contributes to the general amorphous mess.

Nowadays I have trouble believing even alternative news sources, because there is such underhanded trickery and deceit and misdirection. I love Scott Ritter, I do, but he has told us that Ukraine is finished for a couple of years now, but there they are, still getting money and weapons and fighting and planning secret attacks (with the help of the UK) and whatever.

Thank you, and I need to re-read very carefully.
