A question faces Australians, who are known to be lovers of freedom as well as democracy. If they continue to be part of the AUKUS group of nations they will need to sign away any form of national sovereignty for military technology to the US. Is this what Australians want? Or is it just the... Continue Reading →
Another Milestone Challenge to Israel
Previously, a little over 42 years ago actually, the illegal takeover by Israel of the Golan Heights was declared to be Null and Void by United Nations Resolution. That land still legally belongs to Syria but remains occupied by Israel. Earlier today, once more, "the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution calling upon Israel to... Continue Reading →
‘Wreak Havoc’ – A Follow Up
Since I rushed my previous post out without completely rounding off my thoughts (and because I missed what I believe is an important point) I will follow it up with this additional material... The idea of 'wreak havoc', which many see as a call to arms in vengeance for something, in my view entirely misses... Continue Reading →
For The Dumbos (mostly US) Who Know Not ‘Wreak’ From ‘Wreck’
I am tired of reading examples of poor education or ignorance where the word 'wreck' is used where 'wreak' is meant. So, this may be a moment of enlightenment for some.

For Fuck’s Sake, When Is This Bullshit Going To Stop?
I find myself needing to take yet another break from my intended activities to add my voice to that of The Daily Skeptic who quote the Royal Society when they say... The Royal Society authors find that the climate models that are stuck with an assumption that humans can and do control the AMOC have... Continue Reading →
The Non-Existence Of Novelty
One of the most well-known quotes from The Bible would be 'There is nothing new under the Sun'. That phrase stands today, as it always has, as a reminder of the non-existence of novelty. Humans are fickle and untrustworthy, as they always have been. Fish swim, birds fly, ruminants graze and predatory mammals eat ruminants.... Continue Reading →
Russian Land Bridge to Europe
Since the beginning of Russia's Special Military Operation (SVO) - still ongoing today as just that i.e. there is no war between Russia and Ukraine, just an SVO, the purpose of which is simply to protect and secure Russian people who were under attack for eight and now almost ten long years - and even...
