After watching and reading my usual round of world news today I needed something to lift my spirits above all the death and destruction, the corruption and deceit, and the social degradation of, well, mostly the western corner of the world. And what better than an inspiring song sung with excellence from a renowned singer,... Continue Reading →
Don’t Cry for G7- It’s a Nothingburger
That's my description. Here is how Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Lin Jian, describes it... "The G7 cannot speak for the international community. It accounts for only 10% of the world's population, and the association's share in the global economy is declining every year," he said. Lin Jian also pointed out that the G7 "has long...

The ZNPP to be Controlled by Ukraine? The Idiots! That’s Not Going to Happen.
A list of demands has been signed off by the Swiss Conference on Ukraine (minus 15 [not 13] realistic Russia friendly nations). The list includes the ZNPP (the 'Z' stands for Zaporozhye - and that is now part of Russia). The Ukies will have to buy their electricity from Russia if they want it to... Continue Reading →
Further Explanation of Ukraine Peace Conditions
I think there may have been some misunderstanding in the west of Mr Putin's remarks to his Foreign Ministry colleagues a few days ago. This is not surprising really since they didn't take proper notice of them on several occasions these conditions were brought up, going back two years now. The conditions, as laid out...

First let it be said that Putins remarks during a speech to senior Russian Foreign Ministry personnel a day or so ago represent no change to... Continue Reading →

I have long been of the opinion that Non-European nations have no right to operate militarily or geo-politically within Europe. Only European nations, if they behave peacefully (that means - among other things - non-aggressively), have the right to sovereignty over the lands under their possession. There is no valid reason for the presence or... Continue Reading →
Debunking Ben Miles Ice Age Theories
I have been worrying about having promoted something I shared a few days ago from Dr Ben Miles mostly glib 'sciency' talk video which argues something which badly needs a better explanation. The thrust of his message is that with increased methane gas release from the planet since 2006, we are entering a period defined... Continue Reading →
2024 – The Other Side of the Coin
I wrote in my previous post of the active and vital aspects of 'The Global Majority', growing now, and unfailingly, to be the only survivable component of humanity in a changed future. I featured in that post, a brief round-up of the latest developments being undertaken by that plucky group, led by 'The Three Amigos'... Continue Reading →
2024 – Signs of Global Majority Vital Emergence; No Signs of Vitality in Collective West
A remarkable contrast. Made all the more visible as "a structural change of the world-system" (see link) continues to grow... 'Pepe Escobar: The Three Key Messages From St. Petersburg to the Global Majority' - Sputnik International - June 10, 2024
