"...people will have to die."

Editor's note: This blog has repeatedly posted about a coming war that is being planned against Russia. This aggressive push for war is originating in the UK and within European political structures. The obscenity of it all. Obviously, the Russians know what is coming and are well prepared. In fact, they are so well prepared Russian industrial factories can manufacture more artillery rounds in a month than the US, the UK and Europe combined can produce in a year. The British political class and the UK media are gearing up a major propaganda effort generating fear of Russia and that the only way to "stop Russia" is by war. Comments by the prominent Jacob Rees-Mogg illustrate this intent as Alex Krainer points out below. It was Oswald Rayner, a British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) agent stationed in Russia during World War I and a close Oxford friend of Prince Felix Yusupov, who by several accounts fired the fatal shot in the murder of Grigori Rasputin on the night of December 16 to 17, 1916 that ignited the Bolshevik Revolution. If you want to understand WWI as it actually felt to the men living through it, rather than as it's remembered, read Robert Graves' Good-Bye to All That. The book is unflinching and often darkly funny account of trench life, senseless slaughter, and shattered illusions remaining one of the most honest firsthand records of World War I ever written.

The war pigs are coming for our children!

The brainwash is intensifying. My son's class recently went on a school trip to London. Subtle psychological war indoctrination was slipped in.

By Alex Krainer | September 27, 2026

In TrendCompass on Monday, I wrote about the sudden lust for war against Russia that's gripped European ruling establishments like a fever, with a handful of notable superspreaders doing the rounds of TV panels and interviews as they try to convince the public that war is inevitable, that the people must step up and do their duty and enlist in the military to defend "our nations" and our way of life.

It all feels as though the decision that Europe will be going to war against Russia has already been made. As Mr. Pompous, Jacob Rees-Mogg put it:

"… If we face a war, we will need people who will join the armed services and who will go out and do their duty. We may even face circumstances where people have to die to save their country…"

One of the most enthusiastic war promoters, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson recently had this to say:

"There's no reason, that I can see, why we shouldn't send some peaceful ground forces to show our support, our constitutional support for free, independent Ukraine."

Johnson's wording itself is interesting: "peaceful ground forces," and "constitutional support," and it's obvious from the video (linked above) that he was struggling to spit all those words out exactly right so that his plea for a peaceful war could sound perfectly honorable and dignified. He seemed especially scrupulous to put the words constitutional and support together.

All the while, the British media are doing their part, dutifully informing their fellow citizens that the Russians are coming:

In just one week, more than 250 articles have been published about the supposed threat from Russia, which is remarkable! They couldn't all be wrong, could they? Like that time they sold us the pandemic and the safe-and-effectives..?

But war propaganda has been planned and creeping for a while now, including subtle indoctrination of children.

Imagining Private Peaceful

Earlier this year, my son went on a school trip to London and when he came back, he had a leaflet on him (see below) titled, "IWM Photo Treasure Hunt - Private Peaceful," related to a novel about this "Private Peaceful," which was related to the children as part of the program on this trip.

The children's mission was to "Take photos of exhibits that connect to Private Peaceful," and, "When you return to school, create a PPTX presentation." The assignment also came with a warning: "If you do anything inappropriate, you will be punished accordingly," a truly bizarre thing to toss into a school trip. The following tasks, listed in the leaflet, were part of their assignment:

• Military discipline/execution ("Anything about court martial, desertion, or punishment. .. Would Charlie's execution be considered fair based on what you've learnt?")

• Letter or personal object ("What does this show about soldiers' feelings? How can you relate it to Private Peaceful?")

• Uniform/equipment ("How practical or comfortable does this look? … How did Tommo feel about his uniform / kit?”)

• Gas warfare ("How does this change your understanding of Tommo's fear and panic during gas attack?")

• Enlistment ("Tommo was able to enlist even though he was too young. Would you have been successful? Why or why not?")

• Battle/weapons ("How does this change your view of war? Does this make what the Peaceful brothers went through more heroic or more frightening? Why?)

• The trenches ("Walk through the trench reconstruction and note your impressions…")

There's something profoundly sinister about asking 14-year olds if the execution of a comrade was "fair," to imagine themselves in trenches and asking whether they think they could be "successful" at enlisting even if they are too young. Calling troops "the Peaceful brothers" seems like one of those Orwellian, war is peace and slavery is freedom, but this all was part of the kids' school trip program in London.

It all reeks of one of those Tavistock institute psychological “nudge unit” plans to prepare young minds to see themselves as cannon fodder disciplined future soldiers who should regard enlisting to join the Peaceful brothers at a young age as a success.

Counting down to a Russian provocation

Of course, all these psychological preparations for a peaceful war may not get very far without a proper galvanizing event that could trigger the mass formation psychosis and begin changing behaviors. For the young ones, that change should entail a transition from imagining themselves as soldiers to actually pursuing a "successful" enlistment and getting into real trenches.

Not so long ago, Europe's leaders were talking about war against Russia coming in 2029 or 2030, but now it seems that this timeline has been moved up quite a bit, perhaps only a matter of some unexpected surprise needed to induce the necessary mass formation psychosis for men across Europe to step up and enlist to do their duty. To be sure, Mr. Rees-Mogg and his children won’t be among them, but many ordinary Europeans won't be offered a different choice.

Britain is instituting their version of the Ministry of Truth to shut down all dissent where democracy is now one sided. There will be no anti-war commentary in the UK permitted. They are intent on going to war with Russia. https://t.co/jxBGXLLJ3s

What was it the prominent Jacob Rees-Mogg, whose net worth is estimated between £100 and £150 million, said recently? "And if we face a war we need people who will join the services and who will go out and do their duty. They may even face circumstances where people will have to die." Die for Ukraine and the cocaine-sniffing Zelensky, Rees-Mogg? Really? There are already well over 2 million dead and missing Ukrainian soldiers. Slav against Slav and knowing Russian history it is a slogged out slaughter. The only other possible explanation for Rees-Mogg's comments could be that he is under duress to force him into saying what he did. That is always a possibility. Separate Britain from the City of London.
