Regnum defende: MI5, Belfast's child rape factories and Britain's shameless puppet masters

Although Kincora reads like the tawdriest of black novels, unlike the Putin/Lvova-Belova affair, all of it is true.
Kincora
MI5 'used sexual abuse of children at Kincora to blackmail
An SIS (Secret Intelligence Service) officer lies from his first day in the Service. It is part of his cover....As the years go by, the lies take over from the truth and morality accepts the other demands which are made on an officer to get the job done. MI6 Chief Anthony Cavendish, cited on page 378.

Kincora, Britain's Shame: Mountbatten, MI5, the Belfast Boys' Home Sex Abuse Scandal and the British Cover-up begins by telling us, in the starkest baby English, that Lord Louis Mountbatten, uncle to King Charles, regularly buggered the children of Kincora Boys Home before the IRA blew him to smithereens on 27 August, 1979.

Before proceeding into the meat of the book and the precedent the cover up of this scandal has for the Epstein scandal and the fake charges MI6 have leveled against Russian President Putin and Russian child trsarina Maria Lvova-Belova, it is important to note that though Chris Moore, the author, and Ed Moloney, who wrote the foreword, have excellent track records as investigative journalists going right back to the start of the Irish Troubles, the dogs in the street, myself included, have known all about this scandal for just about as long, and that the powers that be have done nothing to redress them or the child sex scandals of Jimmy Savile and Sir Edward Heath, who remain, even in death, protected species by MI5, whose motto is defende regnum, to defend the realm at all costs..

Comment: One pedo group to steal, buy, trade, groom, sell, and sometimes kill children. Another client buyer group (often wealthy and political) to bugger them and ensure the network of sellers are protected. While factions within intelligence agencies use them all to carry out their nefarious deeds, when they could arrest and clean house.

The status quo.

Ray McGovern: Applying the lost art of Kremlinology

ALASKA SUMMIT: If Moscow wants to avoid its own Vietnam in Ukraine, Putin may accept a "negotiated solution" that applies copious lipstick to the pig of actual defeat for the U.S., NATO and Ukraine.

How are the Russians approaching Friday's summit with President Donald Trump? The short answer? With confidence, curiosity, some nervousness and a modicum of hope - despite the mercurial behavior of President Donald Trump. This can be gleaned from applying the methodology of Kremlinology/media analysis - a discipline that seems to be an endangered species.

Trump had foolishly set a deadline of Aug. 8 for Russia to end the war in Ukraine, or else! It was a hollow threat, brandishing "bone-crushing" sanctions that were doomed to failure and embarrassment.

Two days before the latest deadline, Steve Witkoff, Trump's envoy, arrived in Moscow to ask Russian President Vladimir Putin to help bail Trump out. Voila: There is to be an early summit — forget the sanctions!

It took Witkoff three hours to get Putin to agree to the summit. No doubt Witkoff had sweeteners for Putin; we may know more about that tomorrow.

But Trump's climbdown on the misbegotten sanctions, and breakthrough of Ukrainian fortifications in Donetsk, may have been enough to prompt Putin to agree to meet - and size up - second-term Trump in person.

Zelensky refuses to leave Donbass

Ceding territory to Russia would only lead to a new war, the Ukrainian leader has claimed.

Ukrainian troops will not voluntarily leave the territory they currently occupy in Donbass, Vladimir Zelensky has said, dismissing suggestions that the land could be included in a potential swap deal with Russia.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Zelensky claimed that ceding land in Donbass to Russia would only allow Moscow to begin a new war in a couple of years and push deeper into Ukraine.

"We will not leave Donbass. We cannot do this. Everyone forgets the main issue - our territories are illegally occupied," Zelensky stated. He alleged that the land would only serve as a "springboard" for Moscow to launch a new campaign against Ukraine in a couple of years.
"Any issue of territories cannot be separated from security guarantees. Otherwise, now they want to gift them about 9,000 square kilometers - this is about 30% of the Donetsk region, and this is a springboard for their new aggression."

When the world meets on the edge of the map

An anticipated Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska promises high-stakes diplomacy wrapped in Cold War echoes, where the venue, the optics, and the silences may prove as consequential as any agreements reached.

In the frozen calculus of modern geopolitics, Alaska is more than a speck on the mapit is a listening post between two worlds that never stopped staring at each other. Now, whispers of a Trump-Putin meeting on this northern edge of America carry the weight of both history and unfinished business. As Washington prepares for another "dialogue" with Moscow, the same undercurrents that defined the Cold War churn just beneath the ice.

There are places where power gathers that seem to hum with a strange electricity — rooms, islands, border posts — but sometimes the map itself becomes the stage. On August 15, the long Arctic light of Alaska illuminates two men whose shadowplay has been running for decades: Vladimir Putin, coming not as the vanquished pariah the ICC hoped to brand him, but as a leader who still bends the narrative, and Donald Trump, arriving with that gambler's grin that hides either a winning hand or a bluff big enough to change the table.

Between them, the suggestion — never the promise — of peace.

Kiev tries to kill as many civilians as it can right before talks

Zelensky's power is contingent on the war continuing, so he's trying his best to derail or sour any negotiation that could lead to peace.

On August 14, 2025, Russian officials reported Ukrainian drone strikes on the border city of Belgorod and the southern capital Rostov-on-Don, killing and injuring civilians. Rostov saw an apartment building struck, with over a dozen casualties; in Belgorod, three civilians were hurt when a drone hit a car downtown.

This came two days after the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) alleged that Ukrainian forces were preparing a false-flag provocation in the Kharkov region, complete with pre-positioned journalists - supposedly to shape a narrative blaming Moscow.

These incidents are not isolated. They fit into a larger operational and political pattern: each time high-level talks are scheduled Kiev steps up attacks on Russian regions. The results are the same: civilian deaths, destruction of civilian infrastructure, and an attempt to create a cloud over the diplomatic process.

Putin outlines prospects for nuclear deal with US

Russia and the US could reach a deal on strategic nuclear arms if the two sides make progress on resolving the Ukraine conflict, President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday, ahead of his highly anticipated meeting with his US counterpart, Donald Trump, in Anchorage, Alaska.

The New START treaty, the only remaining nuclear arms control accord between the two countries, was suspended by Moscow in 2023 over obstacles to inspections and Western military participation in the Ukraine conflict. Putin said:
"If we move to the next stages and reach agreements in the field of strategic offensive arms control, this will create long-term conditions for peace between our countries, in Europe, and in the world as a whole."
In force since 2011, the treaty limits the US and Russia to no more than 1,550 deployed strategic nuclear warheads and provides for mutual inspections to verify compliance.

"It's funny they call [intel] a 'community.' That sounds so benign and beneficial. Everybody likes communities."
— Doug Casey
And so, now, in Alaska, Mr. Trump sits down with Vlad Putin to attempt a settling of Ukraine's hash. This war has been a three-year bloody grind, millions killed, mostly Ukrainians, provoked underhandedly by US State Dept / CIA neocons, Britain's MI6 apparatus, and the girl-bosses of the EU, for no good reason, namely, to weaken and possibly break-up Russia so as to get at its vast mineral and energy resources. This has been tried before in history, always to the grief of the triers.

From our country's point of view, the dynamics in play at this moment are delicate to an extreme. In the background of the Trump-Putin meet-up, amid an eerie silence in the DOJ and FBI, an epic, sweeping prosecution of the RussiaGate hoaxers creeps forward. RussiaGate, of course, was born in the false charge (by America's highest officials, derived from nonsense cooked up by Hillary Clinton) that Donald Trump was a Russian agent. It was preposterous and continually disproven, but the many-footed creatures of America's deep state, which controlled so many levers of power, dragged it out for years. Altogether, that endeavor amounted to a campaign of sedition and arguably treason.

Russia seeks to comprehend fully the various constraints on Trump

Another round of negotiations between Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and the Russian leadership? A meeting between Witkoff and President Putin is now imminent. At the same time, General Keith Kellogg has been in Kiev. This comes as Trump's so-called 'ultimatum' is set to expire - although Trump himself casts doubt whether the sanctions that may follow might not 'bother' Putin at all.

Has anything changed - beyond Russia's accelerating advances across the extent of the contact line?

In one sense, nothing has changed. The Russian position remains as set out by President Putin on 14 June 2024. Has the U.S. position changed? No.

Earlier this month, Trump 'whisperer' General Kellogg suggested that the U.S. deploy all of its ballistic-missile submarines to see whether Putin was "bluffing". So there you have it: Kellogg continues to believe that Putin is 'bluffing'. It seems that the Kellogg faction in Team Trump simply cannot either hear or assimilate what Putin has been telling them since June 2024 ('root causes are what matters').

For Kellogg, et al, pressure on Putin alone is what will bring the Kellogg ceasefire.

The Chair of Russia's Federation Committee on International Affairs Grigory Karasin, a senior Russian negotiator, laid out the situation very clearly: "All the emotions now dominating the media space - with all these statements and references to big names, such as Trump - should be taken calmly", Karasin told Izvestia:

"There will be contacts with him [Witkoff] that will reveal what the United States actually thinks, not for the public eye - about the absolutely destructive role currently played by the European Union countries, which tightly control the Zelensky regime. All of that will be discussed. I believe that following these contacts, we will at least know everything of substance. Therefore, we must remain patient, composed, and resist emotional responses".

It seems that, from the Russian perspective, the purpose is to fully understand the U.S. framework of limitations within which Trump operates.

Hungarian FM: EU plotting to overthrow three European governments

Brussels is pushing for regime change in Hungary, Serbia, and Slovakia, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has claimed

The European Union is attempting to topple the governments of Hungary, Slovakia, and Serbia for prioritizing national interests over alignment with Brussels, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has claimed.

He made the comments in a Facebook post on Thursday after phone calls with Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanar and Serbia's top diplomat, Marko Duric. According to Szijjarto, they agreed to strengthen their stance on sovereignty and pledged mutual solidarity amid what they described as growing external pressure.

"Brussels has ceased to be a factor in world politics. The fact that Europe has been excluded from the Alaska talks proves it," he wrote, referring to Friday's summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the Ukraine conflict.

Jeffrey Sachs: US has 'no right' to tell India who to trade with

New Delhi is planning to boost its export presence in 50 countries in an effort to mitigate the effects of the higher tariffs imposed by Washington

The United States has no right to tell India who it can partner with in trade, Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, said on Friday. The economist was commenting in an interview with NDTV television on Washington's decision to impose additional tariffs on India over its purchases of Russian oil.

Last week, the White House announced an extra 25% tariff on Indian imports, raising the overall tariff level faced by the South Asian nation to 50%. US President Donald Trump said the measure was prompted by India's continued imports of Russian oil. New Delhi condemned the move as "extremely unfortunate" and pledged to safeguard its national interests.

Sachs described the tariff increase as a clear reason for India to remain cautious in its dealings with Washington.
