back into the grind, long hours and not much sleep. the old bones rattle and creak. my teeth are missing, my head throbs with the visual mix of a work environment, a home environment, the beach and the road, that endless road that takes me there and back. i feel like i need a break from it all but i can't take one right now. 

however i have just finished the coming storm by gabriel gatehouse a journalist for the bbc.

before i start, let me just acknowledge how much i despise the bbc and all the idiots who think they are serious journalists and yet work for it. i stopped watching and taking notice of it in 1989 when i began to see how manipulative an organisation it was and what propaganda it promoted. i was a silent minority that is currently quite a large proportion of switched on political animals who regard the bbc as nothing more than a propaganda arm of the establishment. not even the british establishment but the globalist one. having said that i occasionally dive in just to see what the enemy is doing,  and i usually find my decisions are enforced by the biased and myopic views of what i call activism disguised as journalism.

the coming storm is a look at some of the far right conspiracy theories in the fringes of the usa, and now possibly in the majority of the population, although by a slim margin. the main conspiracy revolves around the usual anti trump stance taken by the bbc, and gabriel begins looking at the clintons. initially i figured this may be the exception to the rule where he begins to notice certain annomoles ignored by the mainstream media. he delves into various far right thinkers and writers, some are not far right at all but it seems to be his mindset that anyone outside the bbc's world view is an extreme far right fascist. in parts there are sympathetic elements, he acknowledges certain failures of the clinton obama and biden years, but predominantly the spotlight is upon trumps failings and the people around him. fair enough, but as the book progresses the topics he tends to cover remain inconclusive because the truth takes place over time, and this book only covers up until early 2024 before the linkage of pedophilie rings that extend from hollywood into washington. the book should have been pulped and republished in early 2015 because by now all those conspiracy theories are coming together as truth. the hunter/ biden laptop, the weaponization of lawfare against political enemies, the capturing of global media working with big tech, the insurgency being a staged coup by the cia and the fact sovereignty is now a huge political issue.

i didn't mind reading the book, it's good in parts and interesting but it really leaves out important facets and others remain unfinished. it's not the writers fault but the publisher, the bbc. 
the most fascinating chapter is the last where gabriel looks at the chat gpt next gen open ai which is known as Q!
in conclusion i have to agree with his last line that concludes the book.
'buckle up.'
