I have no intention of wishing anyone at this time of year a merry this or a happy new that or a jolly anything else. If there is one message that I would wish to offer as 2015 draws to a close, it is this: There is nothing in what we have done over the... Continue Reading →
Message From The Past
If you would like a quick glimpse of the future to see what sort of car you will be driving, the best in fashion, the latest techno gimmicks, the latest house designs, then take a look at this. I love it. I love it.
Empire Overreach And The Crash Of The US Petrodollar System
I have often said "It's about the oil. It's always about the oil". Well, nothing is ever quite that simple and while I still hold to that statement, I can see that it does not represent the whole picture surrounding the present and recent historic state of economic and military machinations conducted around our troubled...

Still Kidding Ourselves…
Why are we still kidding ourselves, or what's worse, not even having an opinion or a care? No matter what happens this month in Paris, we are not going to hold down global warming to 2°C above pre-industrial levels. There is zero possibility of that happening and, even if there were a slight possibility, we... Continue Reading →
Too Much Turkish Delight
