"Myanmar is Moving Closer to China" - Dmitry Bokarev, exclusively for New Eastern Outlook (NEO) First let me say that while I have occasionally referenced or shared articles from NEO, I haven't paid perhaps the attention to that Journal site that maybe I should have. We who are dedicated to presenting alternative* views of world events... Continue Reading →
“There’s No Sorting It All Out”
Yesterday, actually only a few hours ago, I wrote in my last post - "Nothing in this world makes any sense any more". Today, just a few hours later, James Howard Kunstler publishes his latest blog post: "Flight Path"...with statements like - "There’s no sorting it all out, and the uncertainty itself is intolerable". Well,... Continue Reading →
Nothing Makes Sense Any More
Nothing in this world makes any sense any more. The chief concern of global authorities, governments, and indeed many people has been redirected onto a minor new illness that will kill perhaps a few hundred thousands of people or even eventually maybe a million or so while interupting economic growth for maybe only a short...

IS This The Global Reset?
"This IS The Global Reset. Prepare Accordingly." - The Corbett Report via The Titanic Lifeboat Academy A few short weeks ago I made the claim (or words to the effect) that COVID-19 is unlikely to be the catalyst for a global economic meltdown but would help to bring such an event into focus and perhaps...

It is less than 2 weeks since that total even got a seventh digit. I have little doubt that... Continue Reading →
Looking Back to Look Forward – When All Is Ruin
"Ruin Nation" - Kunstler There is an undeniable poignancy about Kunstler's post today. A pictorial look-back at what America used to be and, inevitably, what it has become - a nation in ruin. Of course this is not a situation exclusively restricted to the US. Similar scenes can be seen throughout the Western empire, but... Continue Reading →
Blatant Stupidity
"Victorians report feeling 'intimidated' by police enforcing coronavirus shutdown measures" - ABC News Poor souls. Some Victorians are marshaling the forces of community legal groups because they 'feel' they are being 'unfairly treated' by police enforcing coronavirus restrictions. Police have been told to target "blatant" breaches of physical-distancing directives. Well, I have a message for... Continue Reading →
How Bad Can It Get?
In my previous post today I tried to give out the message that the next few weeks will open not a few eyes to just how bad things are right now in our one and only world of substantive existence. In different apsects of the same theme, Kunstler this week rambles on - mostly good... Continue Reading →
