Two giants, Russia and China are standing solidly in the path and, while both would quite obviously like friendly relations with their American counterparts, neither... Continue Reading →
Days of Innocence
Days of Innocence. This is how I think of the music of fine Russian artist Vladan Zivancevic. When I am tired, too tired to blog, too tired to play online games, too tired to read, or simply weary of contemplating all the problems of the world, I just sit down in my rocker chair, close...

Leaderless and Crumblin’ – Today’s America
"V. Putin Ain’t No Corn Pop" - JH Kunstler Damn right he ain't. And looking into the eyes of pretend president, Joe Biden, in search of the soul of America will find only an empty space where that soul, if ever there was one, has left the building. Only an empty shell, manipulated by powers... Continue Reading →

Two things leapt out at me while glancing at local online news this evening - as I often do to see if anything of importance is being reported. As a result of these enquiries, these two things did catch my attention. Two things that could potentially be pointers to upcoming or even very present and... Continue Reading →
An Apology …of sorts
I'm sorry but I won't be sharing in full any more Jim Kunstler posts. While I am not meant to be running a news service I will continue to share links to his posts where they agree, more or less, with my own views. The latest can be found below.
