"It’s Not Working," says Jim. "It Was Never Going To Work," Says I. The Green Energy hoax that it took the world several decades to get around to believing - and eventually acting on - raising fortunes for the green energy entrepreneurs and pushers - raising hopes that the world might be able to carry...

Concept of Chinese ‘Debt Trap Diplomacy’ Just Another of West’s Incessant Lies
The Sri Lankan economy has tanked and the nation is in dire straits. Whose fault? The west blames China but in reality it is the west which carries the vast majority of Sri Lankan debt. Of course the facts are twisted around by western media and governments to produce a picture, nothing of which can... Continue Reading →
Changing Pacific Tides
Big things are underway in the Pacific, especially now among the Pacific Islands in the south. This week marks the latest event of the Pacific Island Forum, and much is at stake. I don't need to outline the geopolitical currents flowing in and around this region, surely. Those things are widely known already. But it... Continue Reading →
Australian Biggest Miner Exports for Yuan in Preference to USD
'Australian iron ore supplier embraces Chinese market with yuan settlement' - Global Times This is more of a news story than anything else but BHP, Australia's biggest mining exporter, has opted to trade its products for Yuan due to the unpredictability (should that be read as fragility?) of the US dollar.

Western Reporters Incapacity to Comprehend; Is It Inbred or Learned?
I do not envy the task of Russian diplomats who are required to face a cohort of either unintelligent or possibly dumbed down western media reporters on a daily basis. In fact I feel they must be a special type of person - the diplomats I mean, not the reporters - to maintain polite conversation... Continue Reading →
What Mr Putin Actually Said
There are a lot of reports just now about statements made by Russian President, Vladimir Putin at a meeting with the leadership of the State Duma and heads of factions in the Kremlin on July 7.

Of Boogers, Bogeys and Purple-Heads
I would like to see some sort of internationally recognised awards for Best Innovative Use of Language. If such awards there were, I would right now nominate for best Adjectivated Noun, used to great effect in the article linked below by Tom Luongo. I laughed long and repetitively on reading it last night and I... Continue Reading →
