Go on, enjoy your moment Democrats, it's not going to last. In fact it is likely to end in tears. But if it stands (may all the powers forbid), then America will never be a democracy, or even a pale reflection of one, again. The Democrats will ensure that. I share in full, this editorial...

The Elephants Are Waiting…
It's a little bit premature, in fact a whole lot premature, to call the US election, as the Dems are whoopedly doing right now. That decision is not in their hands to make. And the number of hurdles that have to be crossed before the end of the year, signify that it is quite likely... Continue Reading →
Now What?…
This is a seminal piece from Jim Kunstler, shared again in full, at this dangerously indecisive time in American history, when anything - including things in your wildest imaginings - could happen. I just wish he hadn't used the comparison between loin-cloths and business suits. It is not only quite tasteless but probably totally unnecessary... Continue Reading →
A New Arctic Ice Record
This may look like leftover spaghetti but it is a picture of the ups and downs, peaks and troughs, of the annual cycles of Arctic sea ice cover over the past 40+ years based on satellite data - courtesy of NSIDC. What I would like you to pick from this is the blue line which... Continue Reading →
Who Lost The US Election? – America

Something to grasp and cling to, as we look to dark days ahead. Is there such a thing?... Continue Reading →

But no,... Continue Reading →
There Will Be A Day Of Reckoning
Today is the day of voting (in the US 2020 election). Soon there will be a day of reckoning. A day of "Awful Reckoning" according to Jim Kunstler, whose latest blog post I once again share in full below - or you can read the original here: https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/the-awful-reckoning/ One thing is clear. Joe Biden will... Continue Reading →
Democracy, On The Nose
OK, I know this article comes from the Iranian news agency FARS, which may for some Westeners not be a source they would normally turn to for information (though I personally find it to be usually well thought out and sourced, and also level-headed - not glammed up or distorted, as Western news tends to...
