I want to show you today, although I have not wholly convinced myself of the wisdom of doing so (but I am going to do it anyway - mad, impulsive fool that I am), something that has been a part of my life now for several years. Something to which I have devoted many hours,... Continue Reading →
Some Deep Thinking Required
'Deep Thought' was a computer. The unseen character in a four part fictional work nominally posing as compendium for understanding 'the galaxy'. The 'Deep Thought' computer, the biggest one ever built (I'm working from memory here, so some details may not be completely accurate [afficionados need not respond]), was so built for the express purpose...

Solid Effort Towards a Better World
I want to talk of something that is quite unfamiliar to the western world. The idea of cooperative development for mutual benefit between nations. There are reasons for that of course, which I don't intend to go into here. China has long been in the business of providing meaningful and stable infrastructure solutions for the...

The Rest of the Story
This is not about a Myanmar MiG-29. This is not about an incursion into Thai airspace. This is not about Ukraine - which I regularly talk about these days. Though Ukraine gets a mention. It is not even about terrorism - that endemic feature of the modern world - though 'terrorism' is central to the... Continue Reading →
LPR Concerns on Security Remain …Or Do They?
Now in control of the entirety of their own border, the LPR (Lugansk People's Republic) has declared that there is still insufficient security for the LPR territory. Is this a sudden realisation? I think not. A trigger thought, perhaps, for their continued participation in the ongoing Ukraine conflict alongside Russia and their sister Donbass state... Continue Reading →

The government of my country, Australia, with no thought (literally no thoughts of their own, but driven by the demands of their masters in the US), continues to provide further military aid to the butchering, nazified forces of Ukraine, commanded by the same US masters and under only the nominal 'leadership' of the demented clown...

How is the Population Clock Going This Year?
Now, as I write this, it is the mid-point of 2022 (counting in days rather than the crude reckoning of months) - around 4pm on July 2nd. The approximate time - near enough to give an indication (which, from an only occasionally adjusted electronic counter, is all we need) of as close to real conditions... Continue Reading →
G7 Fails While BRICS Expands
Forget the G7. They are the new 'hasbeens' of the world [Quote - 'Hasbeen: You know, stuff that used to be popular before the middle ages, when our parents were still young and fresh' - multiple sources]. 'The US announced the failure of the G7 summit' - RIA Novosti These are the folk to now... Continue Reading →
