Well, it's a little late, and not very reassuring at this stage, but could it be that the US government is beginning to see the error of its ways? Could it be that their eyes are being opened as to their slipping position in international affairs? Could it be that they have been scrutinising why... Continue Reading →
Resentment, or Hope…
"If Kurds fail to withdraw, they will be crushed by Turkish military machine, Kremlin warns" A late entry on this 'day of days', after Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that the "Turkish operation in Syria is ending, further developments depend on the Kurds" (TASS), Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov added to that "If the Kurds fail...

“The Empire Steps Back”
“Turkey is invading the US invasion of Syria.” "The problem now isn’t that the Kurds no longer have any allies; it’s that the Americans don’t." Oh how I wish that I had first thought of those two profound quotes. They are extracted from this, perhaps the most honest and revealing article I have personally read... Continue Reading →
“…on leathery wings…”
Always a pleasure to be on-sharing The Thoughts of Chairman Kunstler, this particular edition gives me a special inner glow, mixed with the rumblings of a raw chuckle. The last word, it is to be hoped, on that vile Hillary creature: "Enter, the Dragon"

More of a 'The Onion' style take-down of the deep state establishment. But I did worry at first when I started reading it. Had... Continue Reading →
Thunderstruck…
"Europe won't drag its heels until "Thunder" strikes - Strategic nuclear forces headquarter exercises have taken place in Russia" I am a UK armed forces veteran. It was a long time ago and, approaching 75 years of age I am pretty harmless now - not that I was much of a threat to anybody even... Continue Reading →
‘Risky Corporate Debt’
"Global economy faces $19tn corporate debt timebomb, warns IMF" I hate myself for doing this, and by that I mean that I would rather chew my arm off than give any sort of airtime support to The Guardian. But that's another story and they have this particular story - so let's press on. A "...$19tn... Continue Reading →
Redacted Society
"Why Australia's media front pages were blacked out today" This was yesterday. OK, I'm a day behind. Sue me. Australia's major newspapers, such as they are, used a lot more ink than usual on their front pages on Sunday - or was it Saturday, I don't know, every day is the same to me (I'm...
