The thought speaks for itself, but the image is how I want to always remember my previous self-built home garden. Aristotle tells us that we don't need to believe everything we see or hear, and goodness knows our minds are literally bombarded today, like at no other time in history, with thoughts and ideas few...

On the Relevance of NATO and the United Nations
Some useful thoughts are portrayed in this piece by Sarah Abed. "Turkey holds NATO hostage until Syria-related demands are met" I am in complete agreement that NATO has run its course and has no role to play, none at all, in the 21st century. It is a quasi-military organisation with no army and no enemy... Continue Reading →
Crime and Punishment
Indulging itself in daily war crimes has become so endemic to the behemoth that is the US government and to a lesser extent its lackeys, the governments of Britain, France, Holland, Belgium, Germany, and even Canada and Australia, that they have become indistinguishable and inseparable from those sort of actions. One would think then that... Continue Reading →
As They Say, What Goes Around…
As Jim Kunstler points out in his latest blog post, it has been a long 36 months since Donald J Trump, the most unlikely and perhaps the most unpresidential President ever - though there would not be much of a gap between him and the old Jay Dubbyer, and perhaps he was the only available...

Minsk, Spinsk, It’s All A Game – with people’s lives
"Russia’s envoy slams Kiev’s statements on non-compliance with its obligations" I don't want to keep harping on about this, but I will if I have to, and the West (including Ukraine) is playing it for all it is worth, but the Minsk agreements championed by the so-called Normandy Four, are dead in the water, barely...

A side order of Dem/Shit -ocracy
“Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer Social Democracy (if such exists) or Western Shitocracy (which is a definite thing). Actually this article is not about that - though it covers the subject - but about what the title of the piece says, which is an infinitely more interesting question - answered with a...

It Certainly Is Wrong…
...and the Russians should be very careful about placing any kind of trust in the America that they have in the past called 'our US partners', but are now it seems more wisely referring to as 'our US counterparts'. 'Partners'? Wherever did Russia get that idea from? They will never, ever, unless some dramatic and... Continue Reading →
Hope For Less Unbalanced World
No nation on Earth possesses the kind of advanced weapons that Russia does, and no nation will reach the same capabilities as Russia's weapons currently have, perhaps for decades to come. And this is not just one weapon but a whole range of such weapons, as announced by the Russian President in March last year... Continue Reading →
Hot Air, or Gaslighting?
Ukraine threatens to steal Russian gas from Jan 1, 2020 - if Russia sends any supply down the transit pipeline crossing that country. "Kiev says will pump Russian transit gas to storages in 2020 if no transit contract signed" Looks like being a cold winter in Ukraine then, eh! Is this just Naftogas bravado or... Continue Reading →
