They’re running out of ways to dunk, Scotland is consistently performing better in most areas, education, health, transport, etc. I think even the UN is taking an interest, wondering why another independence vote is being denied. They can’t hang on forever..
That’s cool, does she speak French?
I’ve lost the link to your blog Boris, could you provide it again?
I doubt it, they’re not going to let any nations break away in independence willingly, everything concerning about the power structure these days is globalism. The forced integration and assimilation of everyone. Scotland and Ireland being no different.
No, both of our families have become too Anglo-Saxon over the decades speaking more English than French. Although because where I live half the population speaks English and the other half speaks Spanish, my wife’s Spanish capabilities are better than my own.
She’s always talking about us selling everything to move to the Great Lakes areas, I honestly don’t know why, they have hellish winters over there. I really don’t mind living in the desert here, it rarely gets below the 50s during the entire winter season. Although being a desert a lack of water is always the primary issue.
No they certainly won’t let it happen willingly, they make a fortune from Scotland, regardless of the nonsense they sprout. Oil, tourism, energy, whisky and other exports, for example. But the winds are changing, the demographic is changing, and so is the mandate. Even old-timers like my Mum, a staunch royalist, agrees that Scotland would be much better off on its own, she would never have said anything like that 20 years ago.
The younger generation are overwhelmingly in support of independence. Similar things are happening in Northern Ireland, they can see how well their immediate neighbour is doing, and how badly the Westminster government is run, by those very globalist puppets you mention.
I would take the Lakes, I don’t mind the cold, even far below 32F, and I’m fair skinned so the desert would make me look like a lobster in no time 
You overestimate the power of the United States.
Surely if you don’t trust the United States you could get a second opinion from.. idk… anywhere… the entire planet?
“25% tariff on any nation that does business with Iran.”
So, the trade war intensifies with China then as the primary buyer of Iranian crude.
List of oil suppliers to China is shrinking after Venezuela.
That’s why I’m saying.. they will start shedding U.S. treasuries, it was always an option, but the U.S. seems intent on painting itself into a corner and is leaving them little choice.
US does what it’s told to by International Capital.
Nuclear war is what scares me, one crazy super power might be tempted to nuke the other two to remain the last man standing by default of total annihilation.
Game theory, economics, and geopolitics combined with nuclear weapons.
“If we cannot economically survive, nobody else will either. Scorched earth policy baby.”
That can’t happen, there are eyes in the sky (and space) all the time. Even the hypersonic missiles can be tracked, although they are very hard to take out.
I don’t know why you worry so much about this, nuclear weapons are like two suicide bombers facing off against one another, six feet apart. It really is a very unlikely scenario, and not one I personally expect. There would have to be a huge mistake of some kind on one side for it to be a problem.
The globalists are in control. If the U.S. goes down, they’ll bugger off somewhere else. They won’t allow nuclear confrontation, it gives them nowhere to go, except some bunker somewhere. No matter how luxury that bunker is, then their constant appetite for accumulation will no longer be satisfied, they would have to make do all of a sudden. These are people who don’t make do..
The world is the wealthy’s sandbox, they’ll destroy the entire world in the process if they can’t remain in power.
I know people want to see the best in humanity, but at the very top of the global pyramid that is a mistake and error. Expect the very worst at all times.
How can they be removed from power? They have all the capital, they can go wherever they want in that sandbox and still have power. And if the power was somehow removed from them, then they will no longer have the influence or capacity to destroy the world anyway.
Still not worried.
Indeed, yes.
If it happens, then I want to be this guy..
Here’s the UK’s nuclear deterrent and how far it is from my location:
If it all kicks off, I might as well stand at the window, throw my arms wide, and accept my fate, because I’ll be one of the first to go.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Similar predicament, but I can always drive on a highway across the border to Mexico City. Two days driving southbound.
I did a fair bit of research, the current Iranian government sucks and I approve of the rebellion. While money should not be the #1 virtue of humanity, money is a top priority for the citizens because of the bad economic situation Iran is in. The Iran government is a corrupt dictatorship which has been mismanaging the country and tyrannizing the people. And what I mean is that I was told much of the money is being robbed from the people to fund the tyrants (Sheriff of Nottingham style.)
Although many Muslims appear to be fundamentalist and conservative, many of them do not want a tyrannical government. An example of this would be in Western societies, many fundamentalist, conservative Christians do not want a tyrannical government and they want human rights. Killing and executing protesters is not something the people want.
You could argue that some of Iran’s economic issues are due to Western sanctions, and that much is true, but I was told that their economic issues are not purely due to Western sanctions, but because of their own government tyrants as well. Sanctions as a political concept is very questionable in 2026, very questionable and as a World we must review the Ethics of sanctions as a concept. On paper, sanctions can effect positive change long term by stirring unrest against dystopian regimes, but sanctions also can cause short-term damage to the very people they are supposedly trying to help. As a World we must conduct a careful review of the Ethics of sanctions as a concept.
And, in terms of “big money” conspiracy, what I was told is that Bloomberg opposes the rebellion and other big money opposes the rebellion and supports the tyrants. And the reasoning Bloomberg and the others gave was that the rebellion was bad for the oil economy. Big money does seem to care about the money more than the people.
У меня большие сомнения по поводу разумности и духовности иранского народа. Это скорее всего битва между двумя людьми пытающихся захватить власть Иранское общество как было стадом, так им и осталось. Нет причин генетического характера что бы думать иначе.
I have serious doubts about the rationality and spirituality of the Iranian people. This is most likely a struggle between two individuals trying to seize power. Iranian society, as it was a herd, has remained so. There are no genetic reasons to think otherwise.
Пояснение позиции (для обсуждения на форуме) В ЭСГТРВ рассматривается гипотеза, согласно которой разумность и духовность не сводятся напрямую ни к социальным условиям, ни к отдельным генам, а возникают как эмерджентное свойство — результат гармоничной супрамолекулярной организации хромосом. Ключевые положения гипотезы следующие. Геном — это не только последовательность генов, но и пространственно-временная система. Современная биология признаёт роль 3D-архитектуры хроматина, эпигенетики и надгенных регуляторных структур. Эти уровни организации напрямую влияют на сложность регуляции и когнитивных функций. Слияние гамет — момент формирования новой супрамолекулярной целостности. При образовании зиготы происходит радикальная перестройка хромосомной архитектуры. Именно на этом уровне, согласно гипотезе, закладывается потенциал к формированию сложных когнитивных и духовных состояний. Речь идёт не об инбридинге в классическом смысле. Гипотеза ЭСГТРВ не опирается на близкородственные браки или накопление рецессивных дефектов. Речь идёт о другом механизме — о долговременной однотипности эволюционных изменений генотипа в крупных, исторически стабильных популяциях. Однотипность снижает вероятность гармоничных супрамолекулярных конфигураций. Если в течение длительного времени вариативность архитектурных решений генома остаётся в узком коридоре, сокращается пространство возможных устойчивых и высокоорганизованных конфигураций. Это не «поломка», а снижение вероятности возникновения сложных состояний. Следствием может быть деградация духовности и разумности как массового явления, при том, что: отдельные высокоразвитые индивиды сохраняются, способность может существовать в латентной форме, социальные условия могут дополнительно усиливать или ослаблять проявление. Социальная среда и геном действуют на разных уровнях. Социальные факторы способны быстро подавлять или искажать проявление разумности, но они не объясняют долговременные цивилизационные тренды, сохраняющиеся на протяжении многих поколений. Гипотеза ЭСГТРВ как раз пытается описать глубинный уровень предпосылок, а не текущие политические режимы. Важно подчеркнуть: данная гипотеза не является утверждённой научной теорией, а представляет собой исследовательскую модель, находящуюся на стыке биологии, системной теории и философии. Она не используется для моральных оценок народов и не подменяет социальный анализ, а лишь предлагает возможный дополнительный уровень объяснения.
Position Clarification (for forum discussion)
At ESGTRV, a hypothesis is being considered according to which rationality and spirituality are not reducible directly either to social conditions or to individual genes, but arise as an emergent property — the result of a harmonious supramolecular organization of chromosomes.
The key points of the hypothesis are as follows.
The genome is not only a sequence of genes, but a spatiotemporal system.
Modern biology recognizes the role of 3D chromatin architecture, epigenetics, and supragenic regulatory structures. These levels of organization directly affect the complexity of regulation and cognitive functions.
Gamete fusion is the moment of formation of a new supramolecular integrity.
During zygote formation, a radical reorganization of chromosomal architecture takes place. According to the hypothesis, it is at this level that the potential for complex cognitive and spiritual states is established.
This is not about inbreeding in the classical sense.
The ESGTRV hypothesis does not rely on close-kin mating or the accumulation of recessive defects. It refers to a different mechanism — the long-term uniformity of evolutionary changes in the genotype within large, historically stable populations.
Uniformity reduces the probability of harmonious supramolecular configurations.
If, over a long period, the variability of genomic architectural solutions remains within a narrow corridor, the space of possible stable and highly organized configurations is reduced. This is not a “breakdown,” but a decrease in the probability of the emergence of complex states.
The consequence may be a degradation of spirituality and rationality as a mass phenomenon,
while at the same time:
individual highly developed persons are preserved,
the capacity may exist in a latent form,
social conditions may further enhance or suppress its manifestation.
The social environment and the genome operate at different levels.
Social factors are capable of rapidly suppressing or distorting the manifestation of rationality, but they do not explain long-term civilizational trends that persist across many generations. The ESGTRV hypothesis attempts to describe this deeper level of preconditions rather than current political regimes.
It is important to emphasize:
this hypothesis is not an established scientific theory, but a research model located at the intersection of biology, systems theory, and philosophy. It is not used for moral judgments about peoples and does not replace social analysis; it merely proposes a possible additional explanatory level.
