I made a prediction on Facebook back in January of this year, for how 2015 would unfold and I have referred to that both there and here in this blog a number of times throughout the year. I usually like to link my posts to a relevant article, and I did so in this case,... Continue Reading →
Still Kidding Ourselves…
Why are we still kidding ourselves, or what's worse, not even having an opinion or a care? No matter what happens this month in Paris, we are not going to hold down global warming to 2°C above pre-industrial levels. There is zero possibility of that happening and, even if there were a slight possibility, we... Continue Reading →
Who’s Really To Blame?

The Biggest International Heist Ever Perpetrated. And The Joke’s On Us
You've heard of the TPP, right? You know that I have, for years, been warning against Australia having anything to do with it, right? You know that our government has sold us out by signing up as part of it, right? You know that the full details of what it contains have only been released... Continue Reading →
Game Changer
Vladimir Putin - the necessary catalyst for defeating ISIS. So far, the US, NATO and their allies have only been playing the game. Using mainly rhetoric and having no real interest in inflicting defeat on these monsters. It is all about the oil of course. It always is. Always will be, at least for the... Continue Reading →
