Say what you will about Andrei Raevsky, aka The Saker, and I do from time to time, but when it comes to analysing events of a mostly military nature there is perhaps no better source of valid thought. In terms of news cycles, this is perhaps becoming a little old now but what he says... Continue Reading →
An Historical Perspective
Something a little different today from me. I may have occasionally mentioned that I have throughout my life developed a (I would like to say 'keen' but it is more or less a comes and goes thing - which is hardly 'keen' - but always in the background ready for an interesting find) deep interest...

The Messiah of Misogyny Promises a Man Made Day of Light
Well, he's (or should that be "He's") gone too far this time. I cannot let this go uncontested. Flood-tide of Darkness - Kunstler What a flap-trap of quasi-religious, misogynistic crap he spouts in his latest blog post. We are drowning in a 'Flood-tide of Darkness' alright. I have no problem with that. I also have... Continue Reading →
I’ve Found Something Worth Talking About
I have scanned and scanned the news and alternate news pages for some days and for the life of me cannot find anything of sufficient moment that might have some relevance to where we are at as this fateful year draws to a close. I was about to give up and write something myself after... Continue Reading →

On the face of it, any potential war can has been kicked down the road a few months so that Ol' Joe can have a quiet Christmas and the Beijing Winter Olympics can proceed with minimal interference...

Two Face-Slaps For US From Japan
Japan may be getting ready to get out from under 75 years of US oppression. I did not notice yesterday that Japan was missing from the small list of shamed nations (see my previous post) which mindlessly followed the US lead in voting against recognising the long-serving credentials of the real government of Venezuela's UN...

Australia On The Wrong Side Of History …Again
In that most august of international bodies, The United Nations General Assembly, yet again Australia shamed itself in front of the world's assembled representatives by aligning itself with that ever smaller growing... [can you 'grow ever smaller'? - perhaps not] Let me rephrase... by aligning itself with that ever shrinking motley crew of sheep nations,... Continue Reading →
It’s A Scoreless Draw
Well, as far as I can tell, we are all still here and I haven't heard any loud bangs or seen any mushroom clouds, so I guess the Putin-Biden virtual meeting was a resounding ambiguity of nothingness which has simply kicked the can down the road for another three months until northern Spring. I am... Continue Reading →
Not Something Else
