UK - Rishi Sunak faces the same problematic Northern Ireland in-tray which awaited Ms Truss in September. There is still no Northern Ireland Executive, and the legislative assembly cannot function. Talks continue on the Northern Ireland Protocol, but, as yet, there is no resolution which would satisfy the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). It has blocked normal government in Belfast in its protest against the protocol, meaning a key deadline looms large. Unless the DUP drops its demands or emergency legislation is rushed through by 28 October, then an election must be held within 12 weeks - which could mean a second assembly election in the space of a year. Without imminent progress, Stormont's power will shift from local ministers to the secretary of state and civil servants within days.

UK - Sunak admitted that he would face strong opposition to an embassy move from within and beyond his own party. After Truss’ economic policies worsened an already ballooning inflation crisis, Sunak will likely first look to tackle domestic concerns in the early part of his tenure. Sunak seems to belong to a new generation of Conservative Party leaders who have shown themselves willing to diverge with the decades-long policies of the kingdom’s foreign office, which is widely perceived to favor keeping Israel at arm’s length not to anger the Arab World. He rejected claims that Israel is an apartheid state, as several human rights groups have called it in recent years. "The apartheid claim is not only factually incorrect but quite frankly offensive. Like any nation, Israel is not perfect — but it is a vibrant multi-ethnic democracy with a free press and the rule of law. It stands as a shining beacon of hope in a region of autocracies and religious extremists,” Sunak said.

UK - Former UKIP party leader and GB News commentator Nigel Farage blasted the new British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as “our first former Goldman Sachs employee” and “a Globalist if I ever saw one”. Rishi Sunak was president of the Oxford University Investment Society before joining Goldman Sachs in 2001 as a junior manager. In 2004, he left the leading investment firm to get his MBA at Stanford, where he met his future wife, Akshata Murty, daughter of Indian billionaire Narayana Murty, founder of global IT company Infosys.

UK - The warning of Britain’s finance-minister-cum-political-assassin Jeremy Hunt that new tax rises are on the way seems to have been underlined by new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in his first address to the country, warning of “difficult decisions to come”. Speaking to the country from the steps of Downing Street, his new official residence and political office, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak laid out his new government’s intentions minutes after departing Buckingham Palace, where he was appointed by the King during a near-40-minute-long meeting. In a distinct departure from his predecessor Liz Truss, who spoke of growing the economy, Sunak was downbeat in his delivery, speaking of “a profound economic crisis”.

UK - The coup to install a technocratic globalist government in Westminster is now complete as former Goldman Sachs banker Rishi Sunak was invited to form a new government by King Charles III on Tuesday morning, after the parliamentary Conservative Party, alongside financial institutions, and the legacy media moved with astonishing speed to overthrow the short-lived Truss government.

FINLAND - Influential elites are either in denial about the horrifying costs and consequences of Net Zero – witness last Wednesday’s substantial vote against fracking British gas in the House of Commons – or busy scooping up the almost unlimited amounts of money currently on offer for promoting pseudoscience climate scares and investing in impracticable green technologies. Until the lights start to go out and heating fails, they are unlikely to pay much attention to a recent 1,000 page alternative energy investigation undertaken for a Finnish Government agency by Associate Professor Simon Michaux. Referring to the UK’s 2050 Net Zero target, Michaux states there is “simply not enough time, nor resources to do this by the current target”.

USA - The image of barges idling along the Mississippi River could be indicative of future economic woes should the drought conditions in the Midwest continue to worsen, according to experts. The lower-than-usual water levels on one of the most important trade routes in the middle of the continental US is causing vessels such as shipping containers, recreational boaters and even cruise lines to stall in mud and sand that was previously covered in ample river water.

USA - 'Progressive' Democrats have been slammed for penning an open letter to Joe Biden calling on him to negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine with Vladimir Putin. Thirty left-wing politicians - among them Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar - wrote to Biden on Monday saying that 'direct talks with Russia' to 'seek a rapid end to the conflict' should be his 'top priority'.

NORTH KOREA - Over the past few months, many Western analysts have been deeply concerned about the possibility that Russian President Vladimir Putin might deploy a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine. But Putin is not the only autocrat who could resort to weapons of mass destruction. Look no further than North Korea. In the past year, the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un, has tested a submarine-launched ballistic missile, a train-mounted ballistic missile, a new surface-to-air defense missile system, a long-range strategic cruise missile, and multiple hypersonic missiles. And there are indications that North Korea is preparing its seventh nuclear test, possibly to showcase a more compact, next-generation tactical nuclear weapon.

UK - Rishi Sunak has vowed to work "day in day out" to tackle the UK's "profound challenges" after he was today named Britain's 57th Prime Minister. Mr Sunak won the support of an overwhelming majority of Conservative MPs, enabling him to claim the keys to No10. On the day of Diwali - the Hindu festival of lights - Mr Sunak learnt he will become Britain's first PM of Indian heritage.

UK - A British man is the first to get microchipped with his bank card. 40-year-old Arnie Szoke paid £350 to get his bank card surgically implanted in his hand by London-based company Walletmor. In Sweden, more than 4,000 people have their bank cards linked to microchip implants. Szoke’s microchipped bank card will have to be replaced after it expires. Walletmor is rolling out a microchip that can be implanted in the hand and will work with a digital wallet for contactless payments. The tech company said the microchip will work with the “Purewrist” app and the implant procedure takes only 4 minutes.

KOREA - North and South Korea exchanged warning shots on Monday, accusing each other of crossing their disputed maritime border amid heightened tensions in the region, according to both nations’ militaries. The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said that at around 3:42am local time, a North Korean merchant vessel breached the Northern Limit Line (NLL) in the Yellow Sea, which serves as the de facto maritime boundary between the two states. This prompted the South Korean military to issue warnings, and after the boat failed to change course, it unleashed two bursts of machine gun fire. In recent weeks, North Korea has carried out a series of weapon tests, and the nation’s nuclear forces have said they successfully completed a test simulating the loading of tactical warheads into a hidden silo. According to state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the latest North Korean test was part of drills meant to ensure that it could “wipe out” potential South Korean and US targets.

USA - Democrats have just dealt a huge blow to Joe Biden by publicly calling for a change of course on the Ukraine invasion and demanding the Democrat president engage in direct negotiations with Russia. The move is a major loss for Biden as Democrats turn against his Ukraine policy just days away from the midterm elections. Republicans have hinted they may change Biden’s policy for him, should they take the House, by warning there will be no more “blank checks” for Ukraine. So losing support from his own party puts Biden in a tight spot. “We should have no illusions about the challenge ahead of us but my colleagues and I are urging the administration to engage in a proactive diplomatic push in an effort to seek a realistic framework for a cease-fire.”

USA - Author and investigative journalist Lee Smith explained the dangerous development inside our national media. According to Lee Smith, and what appears to be quite evident, the American mainstream media is now part of the intelligence community. This was proven time and time again during the Trump years. The purpose of today’s mainstream press is not to inform, but to move the masses in the direction designated by the intelligence community.

UNITED NATIONS - A group of world elites met this week to discuss the implementation of digital currencies run by central banks that will allow the world elites to control your behavior. Using this technology these elites, who believe they are so much more important and clever than you are, will decide what you can eat, say and do. Included in the group were: Her Majesty Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, who’s also the UN Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development. Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director, IMF, and Bo Li, Deputy Managing Director, and Cecilia Skingsley the BIS Innovation Hub Director. Unlike cryptocurrencies, which are private, Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) will be issued and controlled by the central banks themselves. In many ways, it’s the same as banknotes, but it’s likely that every single transaction will be monitored for compliance… This is the Brave New World we were warned about.
