I enjoy writing. More than I ever thought that I would or would ever be capable of. In my schooldays I would struggle to put together even a one page essay. Thoughts on subjects that I had little or no interest in, just would not flow. Now, when a subject of interest comes to me,... Continue Reading →
Exercise in Futility
I am repeating here something I just posted on my Facebook page because I feel I should go on record as having expressed this view more widely. The stupidity or outright crassness of sections of the media, including the BBC, simply astounds me. Many are crowing that the 'myth' of peak oil is over and... Continue Reading →
Where Has All The Money Gone? The QE Money, That Is.
US $2.2Trillion Post GFC Stimulus That is a lot of money and most of it went straight to the US banks as Quantitive Easing stimulus. Have the American people seen any of that stimulus money? Have American businesses seen any of that stimulus money? I doubt you could find any that could answer those questions... Continue Reading →
Famine And War, An Uncertain Future
News of the Day I want to feature an article that came to my attention this morning courtesy of News.com.au (not usually one of my regular or recommended news sources, but we all have our good days) via AFSA, the Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance.

I said yesterday that there was... Continue Reading →
Let’s Fuck Their Shit Up!
A Growing Concern In recent days I have noticed a growing trend towards advocacy of the implementation of Civil Disobedience to achieve particular activist goals. I can't say that this is at all surprising. Not in the least. Take a look at the world we live in. Frustration abounds. Having seen what is possible through... Continue Reading →
Can a collapse of global civilization be avoided?
Well, can it? Good Question. I have been saying for some time now, here on this blog and elsewhere, that we are headed for a collapse of civilisation, globally, the like of which has never before been witnessed on this planet. At least, unseen during the 200,000 odd years, perhaps longer, that we or beings... Continue Reading →
Latest News: “Prepare for a three to five degree C warmer world”
Here is the text of a post I just made on my Facebook page: This confirms what I have been saying for some time now. Quote: "(Now) all the promises in the world, which we’re not likely to realise anyway, will not give us a world with only a two degree C rise.”. Quote: "Prepare... Continue Reading →
