The last time I spoke publicly in London, or indeed in the UK as a whole, was in 2017 at the ill-fated Anarchist Bookfair, where I presented my book The Green One.
It was ill-fated because the hostility expressed towards the long-suffering organisers of this excellent annual event by a group of pseudo-anarchist disruptors, accusing them of enabling “racist imperialism, anti-semitism, Islamophobia, misogyny and ableism”, brought an end to the bookfairs as we had known them.
Looking back, I can see that it also announced the end of the old UK anarchist "movement" of which I had considered myself a part since the mid-1990s, a process finished off by the Covid fiasco.
So it is somewhat strange to consider that later this month I am due back in the Great Wen, as the 19th century radical William Cobbett termed the city in whose suburbs I grew up.
All being well, I will be taking part in a conference organised by Real Left, formerly Left Lockdown Sceptics, entitled “The Left Case Against the World Economic Forum”.
As readers of The Acorn will already know, I will be on a panel presenting and discussing "The ecological case against the WEF", alongside Piers Corbyn, Jeremy's brother and one of the great heroes of the Covid freedom movement in the UK.
I have also agreed to facilitate a discussion group on doing the opposite of what Klaus Schwab and Co have in mind for us, namely "Rediscovering human belonging to the natural world".
There should be a few copies of The Withway and Enemies of the Modern World available to buy from the literature stall.
For those interested in getting a better idea of what I write about, but who don't have the time or inclination to wade through lengthy pdf collections like The Great Racket: the ongoing development of the criminal global system (340 pages) or Fascism rebranded: exposing the Great Reset (300 pages), I would suggest simply reading the prefaces to each, in which I summarise the contents.
Audio versions are available of the prefaces of both The Great Racket and Fascism Rebranded as well as of The Withway.
I would also recommend listening to a podcast interview that I recently did with William Ramsey Investigates of Los Angeles.
William skilfully extracts from me the substance of what I have been writing about for the last few years, with a minimum of verbiage!
Crazy times. xo
