I have been following Lena Petrova's online presence as a working CPA of global vision, for some time now and have previously shared some of her more or less regular videos. She writes about many of the most important current affairs events around the world, as they happen. Based in the US, she is more... Continue Reading →
This is a Story Which Really is of Great Importance in Today’s World. It Centres Around the INSTC.
You may have already heard of the INSTC - I have mentioned it several times before, and there is now a new development. The acronym stands for the International North-South Transport Corridor, a plan to facilitate the movement of trading goods from Russian industrial centres in the North, through Azerbaijan, Iran, to ports in India...

‘Australia’s Electricity Future’ – Now That’s a Subject Which Caught My Attention. Seeing there is not much else of any great importance going on to an Old Geezer like me just now.
- Not to be intentionally controversial of course, but here's how it begins... The climate scare is failing fast, but the damage it has done could take a long time and a lot of money to fix. A good start. I like that. Can you tell I am beginning to edge toward 'being done with... Continue Reading →
New World Emerging
I think this video represents one of the most agreeable and substantive stories to emerge from the stables of World Affairs in Context, by Lena Petrova. Well, she is a CPA* and therefore very professional, as well as possessing an interesting vocal delivery accompanied by, in my shallow, male, opinion, being easy on the eye.... Continue Reading →
Europe Chooses the Suicide Option
Boy am I glad I had the foresight to vacate and relocate from what I then perceived to be an eventual graveyard some 44 years ago. Where I moved to - Australia - is not in much better shape of course, having botched its only chance to escape the colonialist hell in a failed (built... Continue Reading →
Arctic Sea Ice Extent November 2025
Time for another month-end update and again 2025 has led us in a merry dance with a somewhat disappointing ending. Not seriously so, but we might have expected better. Below is a chart of NSIDC data plucked from the Charctic Interactive Sea Ice Graph, showing just this part of the current year (blue) plus last... Continue Reading →
Open Mind; Closed Mind. Open System; Closed System. Is There an Advantage? How About in AI?
I am no expert in AI, let me state that up front. Although it has been around in rudimentary form in the gaming arena (my favourite passtime*), and possibly in other places, for years. And whatever your views on the subject of AI, its benefits and inherent dangers, it is not going to go away... Continue Reading →
Bunkers Under Mountains Busted By Bombers? Nah. Agreed Deception More Like.
While I do not know the man personally, and the little I have gleaned about him - mostly self-revealed - would not place him within a close circle of friends (even if I had such a thing), I have adjudged him to be a man who says what he says, always concisely and to the... Continue Reading →
Deceit and Distortion – The American Way
I wish I could ignore this situation and write about something more interesting, but I can't. Chiefly, I suppose, because my own country, Australia, is also caught up in this distasteful mess - on the fringes, but also on the wrong side again (as per usual). Can I be more specific? Of course. Take a... Continue Reading →
Not Something Else
