This Week in the New Normal #112
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. …wait, we’re going to the moon?
NASA announced they’re sending people back to the moon…next month. Artemis II is going to loop-the-loop around the moon and then comeback. They’re calling it the furthest people have ever been from Earth (but I think Apollo 13 is supposed to have done the same).
After that they plan on actually landing people on the moon next year sometime, using their special “mega rocket”:

The whole thing is kicking off Space Race II: Electric Boogaloo, with China, Russia and even India planning their own moon missions by 2030.
The only question is “how fake is all this going to be?” and the answer is “very”.
Fake videos, fake photos, fake heroes and fake villains. Even if they could go to the moon, it’s easier to just not and say they did.
2. Speaking of space…
Speaking of space, did you know that the Bank of England has been told to game-plan for a financial crisis caused by the American government admitting aliens are real?
Yes, seriously:
I can’t believe we really have to talk about this, but if the US government says they’ve met extraterrestrial lifeforms, they are probably lying.
The financial crisis angle is hilarious though, it smacks of Jasper Carrott reading Protect and Survive: “a large-scale nuclear attack on this country would completely disrupt the banking system”.
But combine the New Space Race, the so-called moon missions and the alien preparations, and they have a chance to do something so funny.
3. Fire politicians for “lying”?
The devolved Welsh parliament is considering legislation that would make it illegal for sitting politicians to knowingly make “false or misleading statements”, on pain of forced resignation.
Which, I guess, sounds OK in theory, but in practical terms is actually insane.
Mainly because it relies on the idea that Parliament is aware of and can enforce certain objective truth at all times. Which it obviously isn’t and can’t.
In real terms, such rules would be used to enforce agenda-driven consensus by scaring low-rung or inexperienced officials into just nodding along with the majority.
After all, we all know what they mean by “false or misleading statements”, it would be climate change denial or “conspiracy theories” and the like.
BONUS: Hypocrites of the week
Always a crowded field, but the good people of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee – who have an excellent record in this category – excelled themselves this week. After Venezuelan “opposition leader” María Corina Machado handed her Peace Prize over to Donald Trump, they tweeted…
Statement from the Nobel Foundation
One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who… pic.twitter.com/WIadOBLtpD
— The Nobel Prize (@NobelPrize) January 18, 2026
“Conferred the greatest benefit to mankind”.
How exactly did María Corina Machado “confer the greatest benefit to mankind”?
Or Al Gore?
Or Barack Obama?
Or Henry frickin’ Kissinger?
Awfulness.

All told a pretty hectic week for the new normal crowd, and we didn’t even mention the race to be the next country to ban social media or how AI is scaring people into “analog lifestyles”.
There’s a lot of change in the air, a lot of agendas in the works, if you see a headline, article, post or interview you think is a sign of the times, post it in the comments, email us or share it on social media and we will add it to the next edition.

It was phone to NASA telecoms dumbass…
They will jump on any useless conspiracy clue like a bunch of drama addicted
Analog life-style? I’ll have to contemplate a while to understand just what the fuck that entails.

GENERAL STRIKE!!! with demands…
https://dakotafreepress.com/2026/01/17/ice-out-january-23-general-strike-brewing-in-minnesota/
These work if a majority participate. First one day, then one week, then a month, then until demands are met.
Strike from what?… they keep fiering everybody
When do we get an article on the Gaza genocide or the Charlie Kirk assassination?
Obsolete. You are living in the past Paul.
Today’s theme is Greenland, an attack on a colony’s human rights to select its own slave owner. https://youtu.be/T4FI–3BblE
See previous post
Charlie Kirk assassination?
O’d’s inhouse Doctor of psychology Todd shill little wrote a love letter to Charlies family and attacked anyone who called bullshit.
Kit wrote a couple of articles basically calling it as real.
Saw these same positions being made on the DW web site today…….. Yes, I am baiting you. Go ahead. Make my day. In all the confusion, I can’t remember if I fired 5 or 6 shots. Do you feel lucky? Punk?

Proof of aliens is forthcoming in a new Spielberg movie, to be released in June this year.

Enter aliens, stage left.
Exit genocidalists stage right.
‘genocidists’!

We’ve been primed for an alien invasion which will actually be new Jerusalem descending from the heavens as in the book of Revelation. We’re being deceived into thinking the saviour is an enemy so we unite and attack Him.
What the hell am I doing on pending.. pff
I never dreamed that this site would turn into a version of the Flat Earth Society.
“Five countries—the Soviet Union (Russia), United States, China, India, and Japan—have successfully soft-landed spacecraft on the Moon, with evidence including high-resolution images of landing sites showing modules and rover tracks, lunar samples returned to Earth, and retroreflectors left by Apollo missions still used for laser ranging. Third-party observations by other nations’ probes and physical artifacts like flags (some still standing) further confirm these historic landings, countering hoax claims.”
Sorry folks, but landing on the moon is not only possible, it has been done multiple times.
But only walked on by USians?
Funny that.
Maybe, but not in the way they say they did.
India space landing
😂
From India we greet you 😊 
Go back to sleep normie!
Thank you for a little voice of reason here. I think the issue still to be resolved, however, is human travel to the moon.
Cute. So let’s believe THAT guy and relax
I don’t believe he actually licked radioactive Uranium, or drank real polling water or swam in it – I believe he fooled us – into believing that radiation is safe, when its not.
It reminds me of an English politician John Gummer, I think that was his name – who made his little daughter eat a burger during the height of a (BSE) mad cow disease outbreak, to show that beef was fine to eat.
But you mr off wokian believe in fairtales like Nukes and bejesus.
There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance — that principle is contempt prior to investigation,” wrote philosopher Herbert Spencer.
Apply that truism to the your stance on the PROVEN survival of physical body death truth… I’m merely one of literally countless millions around the world who disseminate that proven truth.
You atheists need more faith to believe in evolution than we do in God, evidence of whom is all around us.
DITTO…
The world is moving towards might is right – and ever more extreme propaganda, some of which is laughable.
“The world is moving towards might is right.”
The World’s never left it.
Historically factual
… or the inventor of dynamite.
Aliens. If there are no portable and spatially configurable worm holes possible, there’s not going to be any biologic creatures visiting Earth. Androids or ‘bots of one kind or another, maybe. Star Trek’s default invented tools of synthetic gravity, replicators, mysteriously universal language translators, warp drive, transportation, and miraculous engineering and repair ops mid-space exceed the magical think of Harry Potter’s world. No warp drive or near-light speed transit, forget all of it.
Exactly.
A sci fi writer’s wet dream.
Lets all watch Nasa giant firework but they totally stopped all funding and research into Anti Gravity in the 50s honest.
Fun fact in 2012 I visited the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida they were celebrating 50 years of Nasa. They had a theatre are where they recreated the moon landing.
So I sat down the lights went off the music started and dramatic announcement then it stopped. It had broken down and we were asked to leave while they tried to fix it.
So 1969 moon landing no problem some 43 years later in 2012 theatrical recreation of moon landing Houston we have a problem
Are you sure about tbat logic… the problem with the evidence provided by people supporting a moon landing hoax, is that it is always harder to beleive than any evidence that they actually went… they lied! They lied!… yeah humans lie all the time. Grow up and don’t get vaccinated
Remember Nixon phoning Buzz or whoever on the moon from the oval office. Lol
I have long been sure that the original moon landings were hoaxes. But I am happy to keep an open mind on these missions for the time being. Technology has greatly improved both for the missions themselves and also for the public to be able monitor their veracity from the ground. It still seems an unbelievable feat for humans to safely travel to that rock in the sky and come back but we’ll see, I suspect the orbiting will go ahead but the ‘landings’ phase will be indefinitely postponed.
With all the rocket scientists entering Western countries illegally, I’m confident that these missions will be a huge success.
There. Put it there
If the goal is to hace the rocket crash on the penda gone.. sure
Oops wrong line
“If the mind is too open, the brain may fall out.”
Meanwhile, everybody keep paying taxes (direct and covert), and dissent only through “proper channels”.
Off Guardian trying to be redpill cool woke right.
Not long ago you actually believed they went to the moon.
Internet redpill BASED now to see over wise.
Only if you was this based with your Jesus grifting.
Nobody really gives a flying fck if they went to the moon or not. Stop trolling
Genuine question – why would moon landings be faked?!
The un-learning just goes on and on..
Read and wonder.
Wonder why we ever believed:
https://unbekoming.substack.com/p/interview-with-bart-sibrel
Strangest of all: Why would Apollo 10 be fake? What was the point in faking a dress rehearsal for a moon landing? And why fake Apollo 8?
For each mission a giant rocket lifted off? Where did it go? Orbit Earth? News flash: It’s just as easy to orbit the moon as it is to orbit the Earth. It’s just a matter of a bigger fuel tank, which they had.
I’m pretty much a crackpot; I believe a lot of wild tales, from ghosts to Bigfoot to space aliens… but the “we never went to the moon” people have never been able to convince me.
> News flash: It’s just as easy to orbit the moon as it is to orbit the Earth. It’s just a matter of a bigger fuel tank, which they had.
Yeah, right …
How do you know?
I think it’s the first time somebody, who appears as a lunatic, actually calling himself a crackpot.
Oh dear. Stop looking for people to believe in and look into it for yourself. Anyone with a functioning brain can see it’s a hoax.
Oh, you must’nt ask pertinent questions such as this otherwise the balloon is deflated !
Because it’s sensationnal and time waisting…
Space Race Deux, pronounced Duh (i.e., more moon mission cover for militarizing earth further under full spectrum dominance); Alien Banking Crisis (i.e., more bank bailouts by any means necessary, no matter how absurd, including digital ID/CBDC protection of human identity in a panopticon of total alienation); Holding Politicians’ Feet to the Fire (i.e., more grandstanding to keep looting and laughing all the way to the bank); Nobel Peace Prize (i.e., more payoffs to partners in crimes against humanity): we have a theme to this week in the new abnormal – Lying (i.e., more of the same old news).
ETs are into banking? Good to know.
I wonder what their stance is on cryptocurrencies? Most likely think they are out of this world.
What the fuck? Twice I tried inserting a comment. It didn’t mention any of the DODGY words. And not only did it go straight into pending but it soon totally disappeared! So there must be some other trigger word. Perhaps “and”?
And?… (nope)… how’ve u been btw
And the Amazon is a massive river, and rainforest, teeming with Life.

Oops.
This was meant as a reply to Antonyms comment below, about the ‘Denial’ river.
Well, I’m somewhat confused and a bit befuddled. Age verification restrictions began in Australia on December 10th and I was expecting to be zapped from the internet and social media platforms. Yet, it’s now January 19th in Oz and I still have unfettered access to the internet, YouTube, Instagram and Telegram. Oh, and I can still visit sites like this one! The only platform that instituted age verification in Australia to my knowledge was Substack which I promptly deleted. Bastards. Have any Aussies on here been affected by the age verification thing restrictions? I have a strong suspicion they’re going to roll it out incrementally, and not all in one hit. Perhaps if they did, it might wake up a few sleepy people here in Australia. Perhaps. But whatever happens, I do what I have to do to keep sane and go about my daily business and ignore the politicians and presstitutes as much as humanely possible! Why? Because they make my skin crawl.
Romming around Substack is like walking in a middle east market and beeing constantly yelled at to buy something… beginning of a crutial subject… “subcribe to my one of a million channels”.. times are hard but I’m done too
LEE-HARVEY-TRUMP’S-PERSONALITY IS THE PATSY
You know all this Trump craziness– now he wants a kind of alternate UN with himself as chairman, called a Peace Board. You know, I learned years ago that when they start explaining things as the result of someone’s personality that it’s a lie. Trump is a mask for TPTB; what he’s doing is not just expressing his personality. The only explanation that comes to mind is that they’re working up to a truly awful event which they want to blame on Trump’s personality so that TPTB can ride in on white horses and save us.
Judging by the technologies they’re working on & the war on farming nearly globally I’d sy famine is part of it. Gather ye seeds while ye may.

Why would aliens not exist? Outside of Earth there are millions of viable planets available. On Earth us Ape men are only messing around the last few millenia, billions of years before other species – (like lizards) could have evolved (messing the Nest up or not) could have left this planet or live on Antarctica or ocean bottom.
Denial is a long river in Africa.
It would be weird / strange if aliens wouldn’t exist – ask any independent astronomer / biologist.
One thing should be clear to all: “they” are not like us aggressive / destructive.
Proof: we are still around allowed to litter the globe, nothing stopped us – till now.
Make up your meme about it: the Atlantic cabal was lying for decades OR they are coming out of this closet now.
‘Why would aliens not exist?’
Well, apart from the fact that there is no evidence, and never has been any evidence of aliens, the conditions required to ‘create’ and sustain Life are so unique as to be almost impossible for Life to exist, at all, anywhere.
Yet, here we are. Enjoy.
Indeed. Enjoy the ‘atmosphere’.
We couldn’t even move to our neighboring planets. Venus too hot. Mars too cold
Only the blue planet having liquid water. Mars a few ice caps. Venus a hot steamy ball of CO2 and sulphuric acid.
Come on professor, don’t be shy, tell us about the other billions of galaxies
Any particular galaxy you had in mind?
The nearest is around 25,000 light years away (Canis Major Dwarf orbiting the Milky Way).
So the quickest Earth space rocket (around 200 hm/s) would get there in around 40 million years [25,000 / (200 / c)]. Or roughly 1.6 million Earth generations (assuming 25 years per generation).
Patience is a virtue though that may be stretching it a tad too far. Unless Earth can up with a better means of space travel. Any suggestions?
The evidence is that there is nowhere on earth that doesn’t support lifeforms. The highest altitudes, the depths of the oceans, deep in granitic rocks……everywhere, so why would the same not pertain beyond earth ?
Oxygen, Nitrogen, and H2O.
In perfect proportions.
You have no idea what planets there will definitely be in other solar systems and other galaxies!! Thus you have no idea what they have, as regards oxygen, nitrogen, water, etc etc etc.
(And don’t forget: other forms of life might be based on other things, also…)
And your ideas are just pure speculation, flights of fantasy Christine.
Life is here and Now.
We are breathing, seeing, smelling, feeling and tasting.
Everything else is our brain interpreting and projecting.
Examples:
•Trump and his ilk see an entirely different world.
• Schizophrenics see a different world.
• Drunks and drug addicts see a different world.
• And most significantly, every religious believer sees a different world.
Conclusion: We see what we want to see, or believe.
Life is here and Now.
And Johnnyboy is full of shit as usual
Yep.
Unlike yourself, I’ve carried out a lot of research into the subject… (many decades ago; I’m currently 67). As I suggested in a post to you a day or so ago, the books of my fellow Brit, Timothy Good, on this subject, might open your mind a bit…
I’m most definitely NOT a ‘religious believer’, I’m one of the many millions worldwide who possess spiritual knowledge (I don’t ‘do’ mere ‘beliefs’, as regards any subject).
The survival of physical body death truth happens to be proven, thus is not mere ‘belief’, it’s knowledge.
Johnny swallowing the con census materialistic mainstream here suddenly?
What next?
Aliens reincarnated in human bodies can use this tactic to avoid easy detection…..😂
But idiots have always been easily detected… especially if you scan around here
No. Johnny breathing the air, that no other planet has.
I enjoy a good sci fi story or movie as much as the next person, but ‘aliens’?
Nah, they’re figments of imaginations. Restless craving imaginations.
The conditions we need for life might be totally different from other life forms. I personally do not know whether to believe aliens are possible, we have been lied to about so many things, how can we really know? That said, I’ve always thought the fictional portrayals of “aliens” seemed almost too human like – would a truly different life form from very different conditions look anything like humans? Or would those life forms be so different from us that we could not truly conceive what they might look like?
That said, IMHO our owners will use “aliens” for some purpose or another, and I doubt it will be exposing any truth but will be one more manipulative lie. It sure would be simpler for them if aliens could be blamed for a system wide total crash though, and not just a financial one. Maybe they can blame all the pollution and damage to the Earth on aliens – “they were doing it to us and we just didn’t know, now that we’ve exposed them and all the damage to humanity they did, we are here to fix it for ya. We promise our solutions will cure all the world’s problems, now please line up and get your vaccination so those pesky aliens can’t do any more damage! You also really need a digital ID so we can tell you’re not an alien, should you refuse we will assume you’re one of them and you will be treated accordingly.”
Stop believing.. just think
Why would aliens NOT exist? Think of the number of grains of sand on Earth. Why would there not be one that, viewed under sufficient magnification, would look exactly like my childhood dollhouse– and inside on the table would be a replica of the New York Times?
But surely with the TRILLIONS of grains of sand. . . .
In order to judge the likelihood of either the minute dollhouse or an alien we would have to compute all the many factors that would be necessary over time. Do we even KNOW that there are millions of planets that could foster life?
Maybe there is, maybe there isn’t, but I doubt that intelligent alien life is inevitable.
So you’re saying it’s evitable
Yes, why would aliens not exist? And assuming they are intelligent life forms, a no less rhetorical question is why would they not want to stay as far away from Earth as possible?
Most intelligence life forms that I’m aware of seem to at least stay away from og comment section
🤪😝😜🥴
That’s what you think!
Confirming the rule
I agree with your first bit, but not the last bit. They might be as aggressive as us, but don’t have the technology to travel to us, just as we’re unable to travel to potentially viable planets beyond our solar system.
Well it obviously takes billions of years of trial and error to produce an error like you… tired of that bs
Pending again. Last time I was totally eaten up.
Yup. Just tried the J word and the two H words. It works. I got bitten. Though my original mentioned neither. So there must be other words that are verboten.
Well, you know. There’s some things you can say, and some things you definitely cannot say.
Well, let’s see, what can’t you say @Aloysius?
I’ll also find @George MC’s missing comment and let’s see what verboten line he crossed.
Is it a slow day for you guys or…?
I can see your paranoia spiralling. Sometimes comments just go into trash. If you didn’t immediately lash out at your hosts it would certainly create a more mature, more classy atmosphere yk?
I get where George is coming from Sam.
One makes a comment in real time and it goes into space and time (the Never-never as we say in aUStralia). It IS frustrating.
We’re all aware what frustration feels like. We all deal with it regularly I’m sure 😅
With all due respect, I’ve yet to see evidence of that.
Evidence of anyone being mature and classy in these situations? It does happen more than you think 🙂
That’s not a reference to Admin, by the way. Or situational.
Just a general comment as a rule.
And what do they do? I’m here to learn.
If it was he and her.. try they
That will be really cool if they go to the moon. I hope they bring back some moon rocks.

mgeo, look at the link. My understanding is that the UK is already surveilling all messages & stopping some from reaching its intended recipient. Ah, I see. The two paragraphs in my post aren’t related; they’re separate. The site where I got the two stories is interesting, always picking up new limitations on our freedoms.

Gold is gold. I could take that Nobel prize any day of tomorrow.
I could have sworn Trump couldnt beat Obama in public socialist spending, but I was wrong.
Bush invaded 1 country. Obama invaded 5 countries and doubled US public debt.
Trump has so far invaded 10 countries, set aside $500 billion on data centres and now he propose wasting 50% = another $500 addition to the $1 trillion budget to the military = $1,5 trillion = 3/4 of the whole world’s budget on military. (tiny dick syndrome).
At first sight it looked like Germany was a victim to the bad guys, until we find out that Germany self invited and rolled out the red carpet for Blackstone the Financial bankers.

I thought the autism article was about you.
It was.

IS CREDIT CARD INTEREST REDUCED TO 10% TOMORROW IN THE US?
I’ve not followed the One Big Beautiful Bill. I have learned this morning from videos in 3 languages that this will occur tomorrow. Does that mean it’s real? If this is real info, there sure is a lot more happening Tuesday morning in the US.
“In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.” — Ronnie Raygun
Yes, an external universal threat ‘uniting’ the world and justifying the need for a One World Government. That would be convenient.
Just so,
So Now in order to find out what’s true, we have to check the controlled media, cuz the internet news that we used to rely upon is now sometimes merely invented.
You rely upon a respected source– a person who has been reliable in the past. No problem: There he is, but is it really him or merely AI?
I don’t like this.
I think the lesson here is we shouldn’t need to “rely” so much
… just give up on that u know
theobalt, in order to know what is happening in the world which is beyond the limits of my vision I MUST rely on others. I can exercise my brain as to whether the logical connections and arguments they make are valid, but re actual events. . .
Penelope. Are you a reporter? What paper. You sound like this is important to you. You can’t be government. Are you being paid? Are you delusionnal?… what is your logic telling you when there’s an epidemic of autism, of turbo cancers, of talk of nanotech, of continuous and increasing wars all over the globe… after that, I think it’s arrogant (or delusionnal), to think one can make a difference by uncovering details of the truth… Just saying. You sound like a Queen sitting on a trone, complaining about her consul not helping her make important decisions about her Monarchy.
Don’t be silly, theobalt. Truth is important cuz its what we base our beliefs and actions on.
Oh dear, I’m not being silly… you should know that by now… look, sometimes there’s not even a truth that is helpfull… alot of the times there’s a lie… now unless you’re ready to point a woapawn at a ptb… and we want him/her alive for questionning… (do you know torture methods? I never asked)
I’m all for sacking politicians for lying. Probably the quickest way to rid ourselves of governments worldwide. I’m so tired of all the fakery and trickery issued by governments, their agencies and the corporations, including the banksters. Those aliens coming to take our dollars is a bit of a joke. They’ve been amongst us for millennia doing their big taking. No need for a new external threat. And, no. nobody is going to the moon. The world is under a quarantine, we’re unable to leave this realm in any physical sense.
If by ‘aliens’ Veri Tas, you mean half human psychopaths, I agree. Otherwise, Life is exclusive to this planet. We are the only Life forms in the Universe.
Quadrillions of Life forms simply Being, until the form dies and returns from whence it came.
Mind boggling and beyond the scope of all belief systems.
Everything else is a construct of our oh so clever, devious minds.
Stillness is the way.
Carl Sagan wrote a book on that. The Cold War warriors must have found it distasteful.
How on earth (oops, pun unintended) can you think that there’s no other life in the cosmos other than here on Earth??!!??
That is so arrogant a stance, plus there are a multitude of evidences for many humans having seen and/or interacted with beings from elsewhere. In my teens (and also about 15 years ago) I read a great deal re. this subject. There are plenty of very high-quality evidences, worldwide.
But no high rez pics.. funny you’d think with billions of people carrying smart phones, ONE convincing media would turn up..
That’s worst than claiming there’s no other life
Not arrogant, just obvious, distracting and irrelevant, to the Life we each feel within us.
But it most definitely IS arrogant. For any human being to think that life exists only on Earth is nothing if not extremely arrogant!
It is most definitely NOT “obvious” that life exists only on Earth. I reiterate what I said in my post of yesterday: that there actually exists a plethora of evidences (but, as the saying goes, “if you’re not looking for something, then you won’t find it”. Ie, someone who’s closed-minded on this subject (or any other ‘controversial’ subjects…) will refuse to research/address the subject.
Books by the Englishman, Timothy Good, might be a good place to start…
I’m sure Timothy made ‘good’ profits from his books.
Try this bloke for a glimpse of reality:

No tricks, no sidetracks, no hype, just plain simple looking.
Really looking, without a busy mind.
Timothy Good (born 1942 London) is hugely respected in the field.
His books document many members of the military, pilots, etc etc, whistleblowers re. ET craft/beings, etc.
(He also used to be a high-level violinist, played in orchestras.)
The serious scientific seeded narrative into the public consciousness has always been about the possibility of physical extra terrestrials, yet never about interdimensional beings which can be non-physical or switch between physical and non-physical.
Yes, the “macrobes.”
You sound a bit like Kirsten Dunsk there… why do I think that?
How did you guess?
Let’s make sure. I’m holding a jar of beans in my hand… how many?
There’s always Astral Travel. Sounds cheaper too.
The best aliens employ warp-guillotines.
Forced resignation: Does that mean they can keep the pension?
NO!
So a one world government then… I think we’re alreaxy therr anyway… “they” are just making them disgusting so we don’t miss them
How about local governments picked by the people on the basis of specific expertise and a track-record of integrity?
Not all liars are created equal:

yes, curious how the flat earth theory which hitherto had been a very fringe viewpoint, suddenly came to the forefront during convid making the questioning of all the bollix we were being fed appear to be equally deranged
Why would they waste all that money going to the moon, when they could spend it on more bombs, more guns, more killing machines, more cops, more surveillance, more ballrooms, more statues of Trump and his ilk, more largesse to corporations and more campaigns of fear?
Sacking politicians for lying?
Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah.
Excuse me while I puke,
A car park for all their toys and money, the super rich are looking for storage space
2030 – Apocalypse or Rapture ?
…….
‘The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and
the new cannot be born; in the interregnum a great variety of morbid
symptoms appear.’ … Tony Gramsci.
‘Morbid symptom’ aptly describes President Trump (et al)…
2030 rapidly approaches, governments are in a hurry to shackle
everyone with digital IDs… A Shock and Thunder event to stampede
the masses into the total surveillance and control corral is in the
making…
Yahweh has warned The Only Democracy In The ME to finish the job,
wipe The Great Satan (aka – Iran) off the map, by dumping lots of rain
on their Dimona nuclear weapons site… “Use them or lose them !”
Apocalypse or Rapture ?
That would fall into the ‘apocalypse’ category.
Signs of a ‘rapture’ would generally include people supernaturally disappearing (as opposed to simply being vaporized by more earthly means)
Are you sure ‘rapture’ is not a euphemism for ‘Great Orgasm’ ?
I see, that kind of rapture. As with the smell of napalm in the morning
You see smell?
I’m sure you will find some people here claming to see odors of all sorts
Ok, they are farting and these people see their rapture to heaven immediately after. Now I understand the whole thing much better..
Where’s the fun and one-up-manship in disappearing? They would rise upwards in a dignified manner. Reminds me of Logan’s Run.
Prepare for catastrophic re-entry failure of the returning Artemis, thus eliminating the astronuts who never went. Think Capricorn One.
Oh fuck I’m pending again. What did I do this time? I used the word “News” which sounds a bit like ……
I’ve said it before: Think of it as the VIP lounge.
Caught with your whole hand down in the candy bag!
Did you say anything antiseptic, George?
If we had a little den of antiseptic trolls here then that word might be relevant (Lots of people here are antisemitic btw and express those views in various guises regularly. And antisemitic is not on the list btw)
what part of watch list dont you get!!!!!!!!!!!!
if your in pending every 2nd article then your on the list.
Big monthly donation helps release you from the list and not mentioning the most liberated and only domesticate middle east country with a star.
You’re the same person who’s said this before using a different moniker. And as I said to you then, I’ll pop you on premod, you start donating and let’s test your hypothesis. 😀
Actually, if you wise up to the fact that all this news drivel isn’t meant to fool anyone but just ratchet up the distraction, the media can’t go wrong. They can produce any number of films of spacecraft taking off and soaring up and landing on the moon or Mars or Saturn – yeah whatever. They can have various degrees of obviousness and then have intense belligerent screaming matches back and forth and name whole new movements of sceptics and believers etc. Ditto with the tales of aliens. And I daresay some of our pseudo-Leftist sites can totally succumb to the wondrous new events and label disbelievers as religious fundamentalist nuts who won’t even accept the totally proven science of transgenderism etc.
You see, as long as the media can keep up the fiction that it is “objectively” reporting on what other groups are up to, then you’ve got “a story” which is of course “nothing to do with us”. It’s “just happening anyway!” etc.
I predict the next media fixation will be “The Fake News Wars”!
I am obviously sorry your comment went into spam, I have no idea why, but here it is.
By bitching you have, yet again, stirred up some nasty trolls spreading lies about Offg, and I don’t see you calling those lies out.
Do this again and you’re on premod and be damned. Not nice or friendly behaviour @George MC. Very sad to see. A2
What’s premod?
Oh I see:
“In the context of online forums, blogs, and social media, “premod” (short for pre-moderation) refers to a system where a user’s comments or posts are not immediately published. Instead, they are held in a queue for review by a moderator to ensure they comply with community guidelines.”
Good call. I wouldn’t put up with any shit from me either.
You’re remarkably zen all of a sudden. Fine being on premod. Fine having commenters suggest it’s pay-to-play here, undermining the value of your 14k comments and everyone else’s. Maybe you could remember this mental approach next time one of your comments accidentally gets kicked into spam? A2
Why would I object to premod? Is that a bad thing? And when did I comment on pay to play? I’ve never heard of that. I thought I was being self deprecating. Seems to me that you’re paranoid now. Sorry for “being Zen”. Would you prefer I went apeshit? Or is there some contrition I’m supposed to go through?
Why don’t you be a snarky, obtuse so-and-so on comments like this and give admin a break, considering you agitated this needlessly?
https://off-guardian.org/2026/01/18/this-week-in-the-new-normal-112/#comment-748876
It’s when you’re presumed guilty until proven otherwise… the otherwise in question doesn’t necessarily mean innocent I think… no wonder the whole thing is so puzzeling
Lemme explain, we have some pretty hardline antisemites who comment, therefore in order to keep balance BTL admin flags certain words to help us moderate effectively, and most of those comments get through, only the most egregiously hateful go into Trash. Check out some of the open Jew-bashing on here when you’ve got a moment! This has been our policy since before 2020.
If we had a resident community of sexists or Islamophobes then certain words there would be flagged too, but mostly people are able to keep their comments moderate in most other areas.
it’s actually a very balanced community and admin tries to take a step back whenever possible so the community can self-moderate. This is why it’s so counterproductive and disappointing when stalwart commenters like @George MC agitate in the comments and invite these sorts of needless pile-ons.
It is just a needless downer. A2
I can’t think of a better place to send such people (excepting Jasper Carrot). No return tickets though!
It is orbiting us, not revolving. Imagine one side is heavier [I have no idea if it is]. That side would face earth due to gravity attraction.
2 and 3 sound right to me.
Yes it does revolve, but at the same rate as the Earth.
Fkn impossible. We are in a simulation
The Moon rotates on its axis once every month. ie its ‘day’ is the same amount of time that it takes to go round the earth. Every 27 days or so. It also has a minimal tilt compared to the Earth’s. So we see the same face of it. But why would that be so?
Tidal bulges I believe is the usual explanation (gravity being stronger on the side we see of the moon than on its other side), though I’ve never found that particularly convincing.
Also the moon recedes 2 inches per year (measurable via lasers) yet stays exactly the same size in the sky as the Sun (hence eclipses). But why would that be so? The sun shrinking at a fairly fixed rate and giving out a constant rate of heat.
Both evidences for Creation in my book. Random chance couldn’t produce such precision
The more convoluted the explanation, the faker.
Yep, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon.
Tidal bulges are an effect, if at all. But the bulge occurs on the side opposite to the Moon too. And the same gravity has not stripped away our atmosphere over all these eons?
I likely used the wrong term there. ‘Tidal locking’ what I had in mind more than tidal bulging, though of course they’re related.
This is more hand-waving from meteorologists, astronomers or whoever. Sounds like BS. It has nothing to do with your phrasing.
Agreed. Seems to be more an explanation of why such systems are gravitationally stable (as they currently stand), as opposed to how they actually got there. The formulae for timescales including plenty of ‘fudge factors’.

A bear market of epic proportions and a recession rivalling the Great Depression although longer in duration is on the cards.
Perhaps, the controllers think that they can use a fake ET narrative to run cover for a financial crisis or banking panic during that time. A convenient distraction and scapegoat.
Or else they plan to front run the depression and eliminate the risk of an uncontrolled demolition of the financial system by undertaking a controlled demolition of the existing system and usher in their pre-packaged replacement using the ET narrative as the excuse.
Interestingly, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme limit in the UK was raised from £85,000 to £120,000 in December 2025. Supposedly to stay in line with inflation, yet the US limit and ECB limits were not raised. That suggests to me that the UK is at risk of banking crisis in the not too distant future and the Bank of England has made the move to bolster confidence and prevent a run on the banks if such an event were to occur. Although, most depositors do not realise that these schemes are only good in the event of a single or a few smaller institutions with problems. They are not worth the paper they are written on in the event of a systemic failure.
The inverted pyramid of greed is about to topple?
To be honest Johnny I don’t know.
I have been reading stuff for years and years about the end of the financial system being nigh. Yet, it never happens, it doesn’t mean it won’t but just as the precious metals charts based on cycles and other technical analysis showed the prices would rise so does the stock market show it is due for a serious fall. These are normal market cycles just as the 1930s was, but this time around with so much more debt perhaps it will cause the wheels to finally come off.
ICE kicking the hell out of people in the streets not get a mention.
Your apart of that guardian of not allowed to mention it.
The two space stories seem related.
Announcing moon missions boosts budgets for NASA. The next time Congress votes on them.
And a revelation of aliens existing would have a similar effect on NASA’s finances, due to its likely financial effects.
There’d be a flow of capital to space tech (to fight off pesky aliens), to the military industrial complex (for the same reason) and to Silicon valley (to use AI to fight intergalactic wars). As well as to traditional havens such as gold.
Which would make it very much in the interests of NASA, the MIC and Silicon Valley to start such a rumour. AI could even orchestrate it in the interests of its creators.
They’re actually hacking NASA to bits (see article in current Atlantic). The Moon mission will survive because its a nationalistic vanity project, its important to win the Space Race or something like that. Real science — the field where NASA has been pre-eminent — has been hacked back with programs reduced to skeleton staffing or scrubbed altogether and, with the layoffs and facilities closure — expertise lost.
NASA imho seemed to go downhill once Wernher von Braun left.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun
Although he was one of those Nazi scientists shipped over post-WWII (after having worked on Hitler’s rocket programs), he did eventually turn Christian and seemed to lead NASA in a good direction. The moon missions and probes such as Voyager 2 being under his purview. NASA seemed to lose its vision after him.
Or perhaps it just lacks a modern equivalent to Jules Verne and H.G. Wells to inspire the pioneering spirit once again
von Braun supposedly said, on his deathbed, that the globalists’ final card played would be a fake alien invasion.
And I believed in the moon landing, as seen on TV, until I read Dave McGowan’s Wagging the Moondoggie. There’s a big difference between the real, the fake, and the fake we’re supposed to believe is real.
People say many things on their deathbeds. Darwin supposedly recanting the whole ‘myth’ (which indeed is true) of ‘evolution’. Reality usually more prosaic.
Arguably the most plausible arguments in favour of actual moon landings are the basic telemetry data. Soviets pointing deep space antennae into space at the time. Triangulation of signals from the moon. Even the lunar module’s ascent had Doppler shifts. Nothing to do with what might be faked in a studio a la Capricorn one. Surely they’d have called out the Emperor with no clothes?
NASA’s LRO orbit images are good yet still from 50 km range. Still grainy imho. And yet the recent India, China, Japan collaborations difficult to explain away.
Reminds me of those opening scenes in the film “First Men in the Moon (1964)”. Ok, so we did actually go to the moon once upon a time. What then?
Are we now not all made of “the right stuff” or what?
We know almost all US govt agencies are fully corrupted, and have been for decades, if not from inception. When we hear we are “losing important real science” my mind goes back to some of the lies we have been fed as “science” that are anything but actual science. The idea that any of these agencies were not corrupt, and that somehow only now they are being “destroyed” seems like one more line of bullshit to get people to once again believe that if only we could change our “leadership” all will be good. Like telling people to get out there and vote, vote, vote, while knowing full well that voting for one puppet or another changes absolutely nothing. Expertise lost? Expertise in exactly what?
As for the moon mission being a vanity project, there’s definitely some of that. But our owners do not do things merely out of vanity, so once again calling it a vanity project puts the blame on one, or a few, individuals who are in the public eye, while the real villains will never be exposed.
It is going to be harder to fake this time. I wonder how they will accomplish this admirable goal.
They will also have the tricky business of making it at least resemble the original 1969 “landing”, lest they be forced to admit that was all a big hoax.
By doctoring some images, it’s so easy now
The show must go on. Moon landing 2 will be a great distraction from what they will be doing here on Earth.
Yup.
In1969, images were all. But now people can track launches with GPS. There are telescopes everywhere. There are all sorts of tracking capabilities.
