  • How the world is going to be safer is America’s guess

    America is now at the leading edge of world affairs as it centres on Iran and what happens next. The trouble is working out how to do it.

    The answer is not so obvious as people in leadership spheres may assume. It’s also reliant on a dimension of human resources that isn’t frequently understood.

    The President’s plan is wholesale and intended to be lasting, but the basics of the work is handed down to employees of departments that have to get it right every single time.

    The steps taken next are determinate of a safer world. The ‘as luck will have it’ scenario cannot be true because real issues are at stake for large and aware populations.

    The reality of leadership is long scrutinised by American leaders of all stripes, and the characteristics of this next phase will be determined by the President’s army of the willing.

  • Caught: GSI agent

    In an exclusive for Conservative News Site, a German Secret Intelligence agent alleged of scoping out Windsor for potential State-destabilising initiatives has now been spotted in Reading, Berkshire.

    He’s believed to have deep links to Berlin and extensive contacts across the country that enable him to travel circumspectly in Europe, but particularly in the UK itself.

  • North Korea charges into the future

    The State of North Korea has its downsides, but in recent times it’s improved its fortunes – to the benefit of the people.

    This hasn’t come without a price that isn’t money. The toil of the North Korean people is perhaps its most notable feature, and a characteristic that goes into most news reporting.

    It’s because of this the build up of infrastructure in the state itself is now becoming more of a point of interest to people further afield than before.

    There is a sense that there must be more than meets the eye. This is confirmed by less ballistic public relations exercises by its ruling leadership that have challenged international narratives of late.

    The few failures in its military domain have not overshadowed the belief that it’s rising to present a modern threat that has been long in the making.

  • Caught: Terror operative

    In an exclusive for Conservative News Site, a terror operative alleged of providing information on systems and illegal network setups to terror groups like Hamas and other networks has now been spotted in a location in Reading, Berkshire.

  • Westminster Week: Foreign affairs

    Tuesday

    The Foreign Secretary says UK citizens in the Middle East are at threat from Iran aggression. Her concern is based in her duties, and she says she speaks to contacts in the region in her job.

    In the absence of the Ayatollah, Priti Patel MP (Witham/Conservatives) says the Iran Revolutionary Guard (IRG) is still in need of a banning order in the UK. It’s Salman Rushdie all over again.

    Wednesday

    “The protection of UK nationals is our number one priority”, so says the Prime Minister, but we can’t help but think there’s more to play for in the Middle East than periods of instability for numbers of people scattered here and there.

  • Khamenei ruled by fear, making his progress by threats

    Iran isn’t freer until it’s free, and the absence of Ali Khamenei is not a guarantor of better times for those who feared and fled his charismatic, autocratic rule.

    His successor is not going to be far behind his way of doing things.

    Albeit international intervention may help, it’s not progress in Iranian terms because it says nothing new.

    The communication of truths or values has to be Persian, show respect for Islam, and be conducive to the public good.

    This cannot be said to be in the minds of Tehran’s ruling elite in the slightest.

    Their focus is as decided as a Conclave, producing certainties that Iranians have to live by. Their power is absolute, encroaching daily where it can get more ground.

    The results are seen in hardship, quarrelling, and low rates of growth in the economy. The setbacks are too much for many citizens.

    The fear spread by such rule has now long been a feeling deeply embedded in the life and soul of the nation.

    It will take further effort to clear a path for real Iranian freedom.

  • Iran chooses a new leader by process, not by popularity

    The situation now in Iran is a power vacuum due to its Supreme Leader having died. It’s not necessarily subject to infighting. It’s not believed that changes in leadership are fractious in Iran. It’s reported that disagreements are usually ended shortly before the real decisions have to be made.

    The internal Assembly of Experts will be expected to make a final decision on the next Supreme Leader for Iran, to follow Ali Khamenei. While it’s believed this Assembly did not prove to support Khamenei to the end, it’s thought that it has a new resolve and it’s likely to support his successor into the future.

    The state of affairs in this regard is different to that in the West. The list of candidates is shorter and obviously does not include the population at large. Many people are already familiar with leaders who are appointed to high position, and therefore it’s not likely to lead to much civil disturbance.

    The protests may continue because Iran also has a strong academic culture that runs deep and has powerful branches. This is a bugbear for Iranian leadership because it proves strong and is a frequent rallying point for disaffected students in many walks of life.

    The appointment is not going to be a surprise to observers around the world, who see Iran as a country that remains virtually the same no matter who it is, and have already witnessed the mechanics of a process that also rarely shifts its focus to produce similar results. 

  • Starmer runs the same risk as Blair did

    “Sir Keir isn’t a King Lear,” a Labour activist once said to me, somewhat cryptically. I think it meant he’s not an imposing figure, but it differs for people how anyone comes across. There are also nuances for us all, in political circles, as to what anything means collectively.

    The current times are not favourable to the softly-softly approach of a Labour figure. Sir Tony Blair ran the same risk and he fell on his own sword, believed by many in its top ranks that he couldn’t keep up with the times anymore, so he left.

    It’s not that Sir Keir is due to leave soon, but his exit of a number of key staff has shown it won’t inevitably hold together, even if it’s led by his own intuition and activity.

  • Prime Minister’s Questions

  • China is a burgeoning force

    China’s economy is often described as rip-roaring and the news that it generates is full of stats and facts about its performance worldwide. The predominance of its business figures is an inevitable part of economic life for many people, even defining their purpose and their own approach to things.

    The daily reality, however, is guided by its forceful push into all areas and sectors. The operations, activities, and assessments of its leaders are regularly monitored by the nations top leading regulators. This is a constant flow of insight and demagoguery that stipulates as much as it enforces in its own style a comprehensive worldview of things.

    The teething problems are found in business, in the fundamentals of how that type of activity works. They’re discovered in the human problems that are in the networks of human resources and labour pools that they’ve got there. The rest are latent issues in international affairs and relations that affect them too.

  • Our nuclear deterrent ensures our essential survival

    The definition of ‘nuclear deterrent’ is now shifting into a different narrative, not stating what we can threaten with but stipulating how we are essentially protected.

    The technology the UK has isn’t simply a rocket filled with fuel or high-tech warheads that fire with power and brute force. The atomic cloud is a thing of the past. It’s a one-time only event for us.

    The system that’s integrated into an economy, worked into a security matrix, and proliferated into every part of the Defence establishment is a wide eye on the state of affairs anywhere in the world.

    It’s a nuclear powered, backed, and enforced system of deterrent that intelligently handles any threat sufficient to undermine our survival. It targets disease events, massive crime, and even limited aggression to preserve our place here.

    The thing is not that it ends life but that it takes ours into account. It repels, rejects, and reenforces even as it studies, analyses, and interprets everything it needs to. The UK is safer for its integration here.

  • Gov. approval sinking

    The government’s approval rating continues to show no sign of slowing in its general sink. The latest poll from YouGov shows a 12% approval rating for the Prime Minister. It’s not a good sign after recent changes to staffing and efforts to reach out on international affairs.

  • Revealed: MI5’s “bestial” HR

    It’s not often that you see somebody storming out of a public building, but also looking upset. This happened to me a number of years ago as I was walking past Thames House in the Millbank area of London.

    The unidentified woman was upset because she had just been shouted at by an MI5 staff member. She said this happened on a number of occasions and had just felt so upset she needed to leave the building.

    It was after some investigation that I found this person had been shouted at on seventeen occasions. It was also revealed she had not been to blame for any of those instances.

    The culprit was a member of MI5‘s own ‘Human Resources’ department which it has repeatedly refused to acknowledge – and on one occasion even denied it existed. I’ve had it confirmed it does exist.

    The eventual report was brief, but it was a legal text that described the harrowing circumstances of seventeen occasions of lengthy verbal abuse the female staff member received. She was left traumatised by the experience.

    It’s an ugly case of overreach in employment terms, but unfortunately I’ve found many other instances of it in London. It comes because people feel they can escape accountability, but they soon discover they cannot shirk culpability.

  • Exclusive: GB News agitators

    In a stunning exclusive for Conservative News Site, a pair of agitators alleged of plotting their own network disruption against GB News and its outlets at specific points in time have been spotted.

    A pair of suspects
    A pair of suspects alleged of seeking to hack or create espionage scenarios for GB News operatives and its outlets.

    They’re alleged to be guilty of seeking to source network-server help in India, putting it on a level of hacking or espionage crime.

    It’s believed they’re also both wanted on numerous other crime charges that haven’t progressed.

  • Rumours fly and lies swirl in Westminster

    A rumour mill is situated adjacent to Parliament, at least according to many people’s misperceptions.

    Its output has not only matched expectations but has set a new record for inciting people to know less in the last year, or so reports suggest.

    This isn’t true, of course, but it’s evocative of the humour of some of those that engage with the UK’s political system everyday.

    The ‘tablets of stone’ have previously included comments about George Osborne getting the top job at the Bank of England.

    Another had said Sir Tony Blair may likely get a job at the BBC (unlikely now).

    A late hot pick is that Rishi Sunak MP (Richmond and Northallertnon/Conservatives) is set to become Prime Minister – again.

    The last one is ridiculous of course, but it does the rounds anyway. This is the way of sticking things through the letterbox with too much vigour and not enough luck.
