Russia Has Awoken. China is Awakening. When Will The West Do The Same?
Well, this will be I'm sure something of a revelation to many in the West, and just as Russia came to realise that the promises of Western democracy were mostly empty, vague and meaningless, so the Chinese are waking up to those same truths. The question is - When will the West wake up to... Continue Reading →

This may seem a little cynical of me but,... Continue Reading →
Peering Into The Bag Of Shit That Is US Politics
"Reindeer Games" I am prepared to share this Kunstler post a) because unlike his previous one it contains no untruthful slurs on nations, figures and organisations situated on the other side of the Atlantic and b) because it does contain tales of the "self-degradation and dishonour" on which the American political system has come to...
