If we were to view the human collective as a planetary society of nation states, both large and small, and with a variety of intermediate stages or levels, then putting 'size' aside for the moment, there are a number of other divisions in which we could categorise those society members. 'Size' itself can be split... Continue Reading →
All Done With COVID
I am all done with COVID - even though it is still, for some unknown reason, occupying a major portion of what passes for 'News' these days. I will not be posting about the pandemic any more, unless something exciting occurs, like a huge number of people dying. Mostly the vaccinated of course - and... Continue Reading →
Under Your Own Direction, Try Letting It Be
Breaking away momentarily from my web persona - which is still actually 'me' - I don't assume another personality when I write, simply for appearances or effect. What you get is the real me, all the time. That is not necessarily what you would see if we were standing face to face, because what you... Continue Reading →
Slips Are Showing
In the days of my youth, when women were women and men were ...supposedly what they always have been - 'men' of course [...where did we go wrong? ...at what point did we begin to fuck things up? ...that's rhetoric - no answers required]. Back then there was an old saying - "Sweetheart, your slip... Continue Reading →

Surprisingly, or not surprisingly to me, since I mostly try to write stuff that will not easily date over time, it still holds good after 7 years. Does that make... Continue Reading →
Facts not an Obstacle for the New Normal
If facts are all we have in the life or death battle of the 'old reality' (flawed as it is and always was) against the incoming and fact-free 'new normal', then we have lost the battle already. For 'new normal', read - new reality, new ideology, new world order, new trans-globalism, new reset, or whatever... Continue Reading →
So, What Next for the Last Empire?
I tried, after the Putin-Biden summit, to explain how low-key was that meeting. There was at least far less of the usual bombastic rhetoric emanating from the western half of the proceedings - much to the dismay of certain parts of those quarters I suspect. But while on the surface it may have appeared that... Continue Reading →
Multiple-Nation Origin for COVID-19 Ends “Wuhan Flu” Controversy and Hypocrisy
There has been an awful lot of misleading hullaballoo in recent weeks over renewed calls for a search for COVID origins - mostly from Western sources. The drivers behind this, as with many other Western allegations on a variety of matters - in fact almost any accusations emanating from the West, on any matter at... Continue Reading →
