Friday, 3 March 2023 — WKCR
35 hours of Wayne’s music, everything from his work with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, Miles Davis, Weather Report and of course his own music on Blue Note through to his later work like Atlantis and rebroadcast of the late, great jazz broadcaster Phil Schapp’s marathon on WKCR on Wayne Shorter (who I had the pleasure of meeting in the 1980s in the WKCR studio). Great listening!

Entrenched Mentalities
Friday, 3 March 2023 — The van says…
A century has passed, but faraway leaders still leave the common soldier to face the consequences of their decisions.Preamble
It is always interesting to look back upon history if only to draw parallels with the present, and a review of British operations during the First World War caused the author to reflect upon mistakes made in the past and to compare them with the policies of today. This shorter article will examine the similarities between the trenches of the Somme and the truths of today. Before we examine the analogies between the past and present, we have to take a look at what went before.

Russo-Ukrainian War: Schrodinger’s Offensive
Wednesday, 1 March 2023 — Big Serge
A ramble about force design, Moldova, and a fortress on the steppe
Winter War on the SteppeWhere is the big Russian offensive? This is, at the moment, the million dollar question that inevitably intrudes on any discussion of the war’s current course. It is probably not surprising (to those of us that are familiar with human nature, at least) that this question becomes a Rorschach test in which everybody sees their own prior assumptions about the Russian military.

🚨LAST CHANCE – DEADLINE TOMORROW 🚨
Tuesday, 28 February 2023
LAST CHANCE – DEADLINE TOMORROW
Keeping this short and sweet –
The Digital ID they are proposing is a slippery slippery slope as they are bringing it in on the basis that they can add any types of data that they want to in the future.
Furthermore it will be very hard to avoid as they will make it a requirement to do so many things.
I don’t want to consent, you don’t want to consent, but there’s things on that list that I do want and need.
It is why we must object now as they will take our silence as consent.
Take these two actions now if you haven’t already:
1️⃣
Use the guide linked below so you can fill out the online consultation (the link to which is on the first slide of the guide).This is best viewed on a desktop with two windows open; one for the guide and one for the consultation.
2️⃣
Below the guide is the option to send an email response to the consultation which also sends a copy to your MP. This takes less than 30 seconds as it finds your MP for you.This means they get more responses and the MPs know before it even comes to Westminster that thousands and thousands of us object.

Maneuvers from Minsk?
Monday, 27 February 2023 — The van says…
Geography is destiny, but what does the future hold should Belarus enter the fight?Preamble
In the multitude of dynamics that make up the current conflict in Eastern Europe, a potential operation from Belarus cannot be dismissed. A previous article stated that
‘…recent rumors indicate not only a large buildup of men and machines in the Belgorod region, but also in Belarus. Another front opening on the Ukraine’s borders would open a real can of worms for Kiev and its backers, already overstretched resources now being taken way beyond breaking point. Some would say there is excellent logic behind Russia carrying out such a plan, yet viewed objectively, it would be madness for Russia to not follow such an agenda.’
This piece shall examine the possibilities offered should Minsk enter the fray, and what it may mean for both Kiev and the world as a whole.
