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 →
Reprise of The Last Resort
I have been thinking about how on earth I am going to make it through the next few weeks of jollity and merriment which will only end after midnight on December 31, 2021. I will be up at that time on that night - or I hope to be - counting down the year's population... Continue Reading →
War Is [Not] Over …Yet
I didn't say much after the Putin - Biden meeting on Tuesday - there wasn't much to say. 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 →
“Two Out Of Three” May Not Be Bad, But It’s Certainly Not Good
...and when those "Two Out Of Three" represent two thirds of your Nuclear Triad - the three pronged nuclear deterrent you have threatened the world with for some 70 years - two arms of which it now transpires are largely if not totally inoperable, that has to be ...wouldn't you say... somewhat catastrophic? Especially on... Continue Reading →
Tuesday, December 7, 2021 – You Do Know What That Means, Don’t You?
I am appalled that the world has neither realised nor recognised that this moment in time, as I write this, is potentially the greatest moment of global danger for the whole of mankind that we have ever faced. Are we so sunk into our self-made funk that we, apart from perhaps just a few, like... Continue Reading →
Bullock Cart Rewind
Here's a story that surfaced recently and which could be a game-changer. Or perhaps even a game-stopper. https://cleantechnica.com/files/2021/12/Diesel-AdBlue-pixabay-free-for-commercial-use.jpeg 'Crisis In Australia: AdBlue Chemical Shortage Might Render Diesel Trucks Inoperable' - CleanTechnica Now I don't know much about CleanTechnica. It seems to be one of those cleanish-greenish pop-ups with roots in the Techutopia EV myth. So,... Continue Reading →
