UK National Service: What is Rishi Sunak’s plan, is it mandatory and how will it work?

As Sunak vows to bring back the mandatory scheme, teenagers could choose between military and volunteering work as early as September 2025 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/06/20/national-service-uk-britain-questions-answers-exemptions

A draft under any other name is still a draft.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/how-would-conscription-uk-work-31955816 There is a lot of potential of a war draft becoming a World War draft. A 21st century world war can make a tremendous amount of money, even if it kills off most of the planet.

Apparently, the height of civilization is for a very small fraction of WW3 survivors to live in their underground bunkers next to their toilets and septic tanks.

https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/world-war-iii-coming%E2%80%94and-so-draft-111576

Of course most of humanity won't be allowed to decide, because it only takes a very small percentage to bring about the most inhumane agenda.

Elon Musk Slams "Extinctionist Movement" Who See Humans As A "Plague"

 https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/elon-musk-slams-extinctionist-movement-who-see-humans-plague

Unfortunately, there is a plan to place most of the population under a carbon control system. Ultimately, a person would have to constantly ask for permission to do just about anything.

https://gizmodo.com/elon-musk-tesla-spacex-dropping-birthrates-1851540740

A human herd breeding permit would only be granted according to what the AI-Technocracy (AIT) Control System dictates. Like some occasional intercontinental air travel, the AIT would have to determine if you haven't exceed your monthly carbon credit allotment. 

https://worldpopulationhistory.org/carrying-capacity 

Its like someone or something really wants to eventually have total control over humanity. Of course that includes population control and population reduction. 

https://www.science.org.au/curious/earth-environment/how-many-people-can-earth-actually-support

Elon+Musk seems to want more of a Star_Trek like future, but not controlled by villains such as The Borg_Collective. While on the surface, an AI human herd management and population reduction program might seem good for the environment, the world would become like a totalitarian composite of various Sci-Fi scenarios.

While the field of robotics and cyborgs is fascinating, most people don't want to become like the Borg.

The Optimus (robot)

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimus_(robot) It seems that there should be a 2 m tall version, perhaps even a 7 foot tall model for the real heavy lifting. Of course such tech has a potential to become like a Frankenstein monster-Terminator.

A synthetic or artificial humanoid could eventually fool natural humans. That became a problem in a certain story about Androids and Replicants.

https://bladerunner.fandom.com/wiki/Replicant Why just a 4 year lifespan? It's not because it can no longer receive AI-OS updates, it's a precautionary shutdown safety feature.

https://screenrant.com/blade-runner-replicants-rebel-paradox-explained

However, such AGI would likely be able to hack and modify itself.

Some things you might not know about D-Day and Normandy

 https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/the-10-things-you-need-to-know-about-d-day

https://www.britishlegion.org.uk/stories/ten-things-you-might-not-know-about-d-day

Time & time again, big events throughout history share a peculiar synchronicity with the # 911.

"is the northwesternmost of the eighteen regions of France, roughly coextensive with the historical Duchy of Normandy." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandy_(administrative_region)

A lot of death and destruction seems to be associated with the # 911.

"The Duchy of Normandy grew out of the 911 Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte between King Charles III of West Francia and the Viking leader Rollo." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Normandy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Chartres_(911) A history of war, death and destruction.

"Rollo in June 911 unsuccessfully laid siege to Chartres. He was defeated in battle on 20 July 911.[1] In the aftermath of this conflict, Charles the Simple decided to negotiate a treaty with Rollo.

The talks, possibly led by Heriveus, the archbishop of Reims, resulted in the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte in 911." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Saint-Clair-sur-Epte


https://thedigitallabyrinth.blogspot.com/search?q=D-Day+in+Normandy

https://thedigitallabyrinth.blogspot.com/search?q=before+the+Normandy+landings

Before and after the Normandy landings...

 The time before the Normandy_landings has some very bizarre synchronicity with the # 911. 

"Normaundie; from Old French Normanz, plural of Normant, originally from the word for 'northman' in several Scandinavian languages)[4] is the northwesternmost of the eighteen regions of France, roughly coextensive with the historical Duchy of Normandy." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandy_(administrative_region)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandy#Viking_raids_and_foundation_of_the_Norman_state

"The Duchy of Normandy grew out of the 911 Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte between King Charles III of West Francia and the Viking leader Rollo." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Normandy

The D-Day site was chosen, but many people were unaware of the history of Normandy. Inevitably, it became a place of so much violence, death and destruction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Chartres_(911) 

"In 911, a group of Vikings led by Rollo besieged Paris and Chartres. After a victory near Chartres on 26 August, Charles decided to negotiate with Rollo, resulting in the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte which created the Duchy of Normandy." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_the_Simple#King_of_West_Francia


"The treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte (911) is the foundational document of the Duchy of Normandy, establishing Rollo, a Norse warlord and Viking leader, as the first Duke of Normandy in exchange for his loyalty to Charles III, the king of West Francia, following the Siege of Chartres."

"Rollo in June 911 unsuccessfully laid siege to Chartres. He was defeated in battle on 20 July 911.[1] In the aftermath of this conflict, Charles the Simple decided to negotiate a treaty with Rollo.

The talks, possibly led by Heriveus, the archbishop of Reims, resulted in the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte in 911." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Saint-Clair-sur-Epte 

"In a state of despair, possibly afflicted by severe depression, Louis died at Frankfurt am Main on 20 or 24 September 911, seventeen or eighteen years old." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_the_Child


"On 11 September 1297, the forces of Andrew Moray and William Wallace defeated the combined English forces of John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey, and Hugh de Cressingham near Stirling, on the River Forth." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stirling_Bridge A battelground in 1297 on the 11th of September. https://www.britannica.com/event/Battle-of-Stirling-Bridge

The # 911 obviously intersects in some key moments, places and times with such violence, death and destruction.

Of course The_Pentagon has a strong association with the # 911.

"The building was designed by American architect George Bergstrom and built by contractor John McShain. Ground was broken on 11 September 1941..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pentagon 1941 and 2001. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pentagon#September_11_attacks

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honolulu_Harbor#Aloha_Tower 1926-9-11

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha_Tower#Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor 1941-12-7

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Century (1997) https://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/story?id=128491&page=1 

"Written before the September 11 attacks and during political debates of the Iraq War, a section of Rebuilding America's Defenses titled "Creating Tomorrow's Dominant Force" became the subject of considerable controversy: "Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Century#Rebuilding_America's_Defenses_2 , https://web.archive.org/web/20130817122719/http://www.newamericancentury.org/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf

Is NATO ready to use nuclear weapons?

 https://en.irna.ir/news/85498295/Supplying-F-16-fighters-to-Kiev-signals-US-NATO-ready-to-use

Technically, they always have to be ready.

Does it really matter who sets off a nuclear-attack first?

https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1906251/russia-eliminate-uk-nukes-world-war-3-threat

Once again, a very small percentage of mad men would like to try to reset the world.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/russias-top-official-threatens-with-nuclear-weapons-again-in-response-to-permission-for-ukraine-to-strike-russia-with-western-weapons/ar-BB1noelC?ocid=BingNewsSerp

However, such a nuclear reset could easily wipe out much more earth life than expected.

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/videos/toi-original/nato-planning-nuclear-strikes-on-russia-big-nuke-alarm-raised-by-putins-ally-details/videoshow/110522940.cms

Apparently, that's Ok, because the madmen will be safely underground living next to their bunker toilets & septic tanks. That is the height of civilization, according to some.

https://www.businessinsider.com/polish-fm-us-will-destroy-russian-targets-ukraine-nukes-used-2024-5

The very small percentage sees this as a great opportunity to test out some of their latest nuclear tech, as well as some older crap.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/30/world/europe/ukraine-russia-weapons-strike.html

So much money can be made from wars, and just think how great it would be to spend it while living next to a bunker toilet.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/starmer-says-he-is-prepared-to-use-nuclear-weapons/ar-BB1nxFtz?ocid=BingNewsSerp All it takes is a small percentage of madmen to tactically nuke the planet, only to realise how quickly things get out of control.

Manimal vs. Maya (Space 1999)

Manimal had an interesting premise, but really needed todays CGI. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manimal#Overview , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Trze_WGSjZo

https://nbc.fandom.com/wiki/Manimal , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cCdvAtS1co

https://thedailyjaws.com/blog/remembering-manimal-classic-tv-show-starring-jaws-3ds-simon-maccorkindale


Maya was a character that was seen on Space:_1999 several years before Manimal.

https://hero.fandom.com/wiki/Maya_(Space_1999) , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKiIYvWIUj0

https://catacombs.space1999.net/main/cguide/uccm.html She could turn into a mouse or a monster, or just about anything.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Metamorph , https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0706350

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space:_1999#Series_3_(cancelled)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space:_1999#Compilation_films


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space:_1999#Revival_attempts_and_audio_dramas

With today's level of CGI, there easily could be a Space: 2099 movie and a HuManimal movie. Updated versions, but with some of the original aspects.

Some mad-men maintain that nuclear tech is best used for war. There is so much money that can be made from war. Apparently, the height of civilization is being able to live next to a bunker toilet and septic tank.
