Worried about COVID? Or any aspect of that pandemic disease, like treatment, hospitalisation or vaccination? Or even the way authorities are tackling (or ignoring) valid treatment plans, or even suppressing information on such things? You have a right to be concerned over all of those things. But who do you turn to for validation of... Continue Reading →
G7 – No Longer Fit For Purpose
The once powerful G7 group of nations, which the Martin Jacques Global Times article linked below reminds us, a mere generation ago could boast of controlling two thirds of the global economy but today is reduced to only one third, epitomising the decline in global influence and authority of Western nations in the intervening years....

US “Power Projection” Based on a Platform of “Geopolitical Irrelevancy”
That US "power projection" is now based on a platform of "geopolitical irrelevancy" is, I think, obvious - at least to all those who form their own views rather than accepting the programmed 'groupthink'. And that is, I believe, how the world should be viewing the upcoming June 16 meeting between US President Joe Biden... Continue Reading →
Broken Dreams
In my darkest moments ...and who can say they have not had at least some of those? But not too many, I hope, or too dark ...I have, on occasion, turned to the music, old and new, of The Moody Blues. We all have our own ways of dealing, or not dealing, with those times.... Continue Reading →
Dancing the Fandango at the NATO-Nazi Ball
'Dancing the Fandango at the NATO-Nazi Ball'? - there must be a song title in there somewhere (Note: It's how they began - but don't tell anyone, it's probably hush-hush). Watch out! The world's biggest Totalitarians are up and about with an Anti-Totalitarian (WTF??) message aimed at all gumptionless gawpers and all who would need... Continue Reading →

Not to be trusted as genuine, factual or even rational. And yet, in the disgusting world of... Continue Reading →
On Constancy, Consistency and Trustworthiness
"Germany, France seek to maintain dialogue with Russia - statement" - TASS Neither inconstancy nor inconsistency are desirable attributes for a nation. Russia is perhaps the most constant and consistent nation of all, in its attitude to international affairs. France and Germany, on the other hand, are like ducks on a pond in that arena. Bobbing...

Diversionary Pursuits
Here's something different from my normal cycle of expressed interests, although I have very occasionally mentioned it before. There are not many online (or offline) games on which I have spent more than a hundred hours or so, and less than a handful on which I have enjoyed playing for more than a thousand hours. ...

Phantom Nation
Occasionally, The Saker produces a piece of writing that is truly epic in stature and ruthlessly honest in its directed thoughts. On those occasions there is immense power in his words. His latest post on 'The Saker' blog is one such epic and powerful piece. The Saker makes an appeal to all who read that... Continue Reading →
