There is a new voice for West Asia, and it appears to be a very sensible voice, producing such informative articles as the one I feature below. Operating only from a couple of months ago, August 2021, I gave it an early welcome by sharing an article from Pepe Escobar featured there. A very good... Continue Reading →
“In the entire history of mankind, there has never been a political elite sincerely concerned about the wellbeing of regular people.”
That's a quote from MEP Christine Anderson, Member of the European Parliament, speaking at a recent panel opposing vaccine mandates and green card passports. I want this lady fighting for me, not the dumb sumbitches (pardon my street-talk) who get regularly selected as representatives of my people. Torpedoes being dropped seems to be a thing...

Australia’s Cognitive Dissonance (What World Do They Think They Actually Live In?)
As an Australian citizen I am constantly bewildered by the antics of my nation's government, which has all the appearances of having gone insane, lost the plot, has a few Kangaroos loose in the top paddock and have been carried away by delusions of their own grandeur. Do they really believe they can out-compete a... Continue Reading →
US Reduced to Using Only Govt Funded NGOs as its Elite Front Line Troops
Knowing it has zero chance to impose its threats militarily anywhere in the world now, the US is reduced to promoting what has always been its second line of offence (defence never having had a role in US foreign policy) - government funded NGOs - to be the elite forces of its front line efforts...

Is the Individual Right?
There is much talk today of the losses of freedoms of the individual. It used to be - at least in theory, and, for the most part also in law - that the individual, and therefore the rights of the individual, were held to be sacrosanct. That word, contrary to its generally held meaning, has... Continue Reading →
China is home to more Global Fortune 500 companies than any other country. Most of them are state-owned.
It is just a matter of interest, but it is a very interesting fact, is it not? Actually that is two very interesting facts. It cannot be doubted that we are living in the Chinese century. China is rising, to dominate world trade. It is not a strange thing then to expect, while ever the... Continue Reading →
Time to Refocus on Syria
After roughly four and a half years from the ceasefire which - as a result of the interference of 'bleeding heart' Western pundits concerned for their pet terrorist groups, crying 'Stop the slaughter of civilians', when there were in fact no innocent civilians left in the conflict zone - brought an end (with Russia's agreement)...

COVID 19: “A surreptitious method to thin the herd without the herd ever really knowing what was going on”
Alternative titles: "The conspiracy theory to beat all conspiracy theories" or "Why we should all support (but not necessarily take part in) the COVID vaccine solution", or "Hush! The vaccine deaths will assume catastrophic proportions, but not everyone needs to know why". All of the above are my own work (at least I did not... Continue Reading →
“The last thing the Taliban need is to be ‘accountable’ to brain-dead NATO.”
I love it when someone else provides me with a post title - as a direct quote, of course, and as a lead in to their written published article. This one comes as the final sentence in Pepe Escobar's latest piece, variously featured, but I shall take the version shown on The Cradle - because... Continue Reading →
