Well, it seems the European Union has just enjoyed a rare moment of sanity and has taken another timid step away from partnership with the almost universally hated US. Of course this has more to do with the fact that US sanctions under the rather pompous and self-defeating Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act is actually... Continue Reading →
A Fresh Look at a New Round of Russia-bashing
Here we go again. Sour grapes leads the wet dreams of the kindergarten-cops intelligence services of the West to hatch for its political/media mouthpieces a new round of baseless, evidence-free, Russia-bashing propaganda - hot on the heels of flinging hot lukewarm barbs of criticism at China in recent months. So weak. So pitiful. So expected.... Continue Reading →
Self-interested, the rest be damned, bloody-mindedness
Is there a word suited to express the idea of 'self-interested, the rest be damned, bloody-mindedness'? "Why do you want to know?" I hear you say. Well... I'm always looking for new ways, and therefore new words, to express my hatred for those responsible for the outward puss-filled protuberances of US policy they are continually... Continue Reading →
A Heart-Warming Story Amid COVID-19 Chaos
I don't often get the opportunity to share a human interest story - there is so much lack of humanity or even inhumanity rife in our world - but this story particularly moved me and restored at least some confidence that there are still good people both among the more privileged and the less fortunate...

Has Australia Made A Fatal Choice?
I'm always ready to share an article from James O'Neill. He is one of very few fellow Australians to make any sense of today's world. In this article he speaks of the fruitless attempts at empire building by Western interests of the past and the present. Fruitless because they never achieve any lasting presence or...

Acknowledging A Helping Hand
I recently talked about the current attempted historical revisionism undertaken by the West, chiefly America, over that nation's inflated view of its own importance to the outcome of World War 2. While the proposition that America 'won the war' is entirely false, the story would not be complete without some recognition of its contribution to... Continue Reading →
One Step Closer…
A different 4th July event. The Not Fucking Around Coalition (NFAC), an all-black militia - you've heard of them, right? No? I wonder why? - Calls Out The Klu Klux Klan in a march to Stone Mountain Park, Georgia, the birthplace of the KKK and where stands a monument to three Confederate leaders of the... Continue Reading →
Generation COVID
“In the past four weeks, did you think you would be better off dead, or wish you were dead?” This is a question posed to Australian youngsters recently as part of an investigation into the effects of a global pandemic on those who are just now trying to pull together the threads of a life...

“USA – Most Aggressive Military Power in the World”
An enlightening denouement (clarification) of the role of the US in Europe, particularly in Germany. If only the German government could muster even 10% of the intellect demonstrated by this personable member of their current political class. Why aren't there more women in politics? She is not alone either. A former German Chancellor also recently... Continue Reading →
