Have you seen a main­stream head­line about cen­tral bank digi­tal cur­ren­ci­es (CBDCs) so far this year? Pro­ba­b­ly not. What used to be a regu­lar on the front page has been curious­ly absent. What sto­ries the­re are have been tucked away, and the tone is deci­dedly chan­ged: Is a digi­tal euro neces­sa­ry for mone­ta­ry sove­reig­n­ty? Rethin­king …

Years ago when I was twen­ty-seven years-old and my father fif­ty-eight, we wan­de­red around an off-beat sec­tion of a small New Eng­land town.

We are curr­ent­ly wit­nessing the birth of a new psy-op tar­ge­ting our most vital natu­ral resour­ce – water. And in the coming series of artic­les we’ll be brea­king down every aspect of this emer­ging agen­da. The cho­sen label for this new fear-as-con­trol exer­cise is “water bank­rupt­cy” . It’s a name ori­gi­na­ting in a UN report …

Geo­po­li­tics & Empire host Hrvo­je Moric sits down for a fasci­na­ti­on con­ver­sa­ti­on with Dr Mar­tin Erd­mann. Theo­lo­gi­an and his­to­ri­an Dr. Mar­tin Erd­mann explo­res the con­cept of Orwel­li­an per­pe­tu­al war in the modern era. Dra­wing on the works of Geor­ge Orwell and his­to­ri­an Har­ry Elmer Bar­nes, Erd­mann argues that con­tem­po­ra­ry con­flicts like the war in Ukrai­ne …

The inde­pen­dent media faces a conundrum. We need to be able to cri­ti­cise and to respond to each other’s work wit­hout it spi­ra­ling down the plug­ho­le into a mes­sy mulch of accu­sa­ti­on, coun­ter-accu­sa­ti­on, and unseem­ly per­so­nal spats. This is very important. If inde­pen­dent jour­na­lists and out­lets can’t mana­ge to stay at least some­what pro­fes­sio­nal, audi­en­ces …

“You want to defend the United Sta­tes of Ame­ri­ca, then defend it with the tools it sup­pli­es you with—its Con­sti­tu­ti­on. You ask for a man­da­te, Gene­ral, from a bal­lot box. You don’t ste­al it after mid­night, when the coun­try has its back tur­ned.” Seven Days in May (1964) Who is actual­ly run­ning the govern­ment? That is …

Our suc­ces­sor to This Week in the Guar­di­an, This Week in the New Nor­mal is our weekly chart of the pro­gress of auto­cra­cy, aut­ho­ri­ta­ria­nism and eco­no­mic res­truc­tu­ring around the world. 1. The end of over-the-coun­ter medi­ci­nes? A report from ITV is war­ning that mil­li­ons of Brits may be in dan­ger of beco­ming addic­ted to cod­e­ine …

Yes­ter­day I was enga­ged in my typi­cal mor­ning rou­ti­ne. Scan­ning the inter­net for inte­res­t­ing sto­ries to read and news to soak in. Rea­ding a few things here and the­re and wat­ching a cou­ple of vide­os. I sett­led in after a bit of this to wri­te an artic­le for my Sub­stack “Shrew Views.” The topic is …
