I was about to write this up yesterday (as September 1 marked the beginning of the new academic year [school year] in Kherson - and I assume all of Russia) until the latest Escobar story came to my attention. But this is just as important, on a personal level, as anything on the international scene.... Continue Reading →
“Nothing personal. Just business.”
Oh my goodness, Escobar produces yet another gem. How does he do it? Where does he get his information? Don't tell me, I would prefer not to know. But it has the ring of truth and, as long as he produces stuff that is on the right side of history, I don't care what his... Continue Reading →
“On average, a warmer world is a wetter world” – and Other Important Matters
[A word of warning: You have no idea of what you are getting yourself into should you be reading this for the first time] It is difficult to find something to seriously write about these days. Especially if you consider all is going right with the world and both nature and natural justice are proceeding... Continue Reading →
That’s Not a Counter Offensive, That’s an Exercise in Stupidity
Well, it was meant to be a Ukraine counter offensive against Russian forces occupying what will soon be Russian territory. It's now a heap of smouldering wrecks and hundreds of dead bodies.

Yesterday I spoke of various non-specific rumours surrounding the Russian Special Operation in Ukraine.

I pointed to a couple of background activities which specify Russia's overall commitments and designs for the near future, but these were/are not... Continue Reading →
August 24/25, 2022 – Action/Decision Date
It has been rumoured for several days now, that something may happen today that will effect the Special Operation by the Russian Federation in Ukraine. It appears that 'something' has now been announced by the President, Vladimir Putin. From what I understand of the limited information available at this time, this day will mark a...

Sometimes it is an Absolute Joy to Share
I get to read a great many articles on a range of subjects every day. Occasionally I wonder why it is that I do that. Of course, I do know why. Apart from keeping abreast of what is going on in the world - and it is very necessary to be very selective on exactly... Continue Reading →
