Yesterday I shared a song on the theme 'Amused To Death'. Today, in fact just now - triggering me to write this - a compelling thought came to me. It's not that we, this species, humanity, have amused ourselves to death (that would only be true of a minor component anyway - unless the 'shadows... Continue Reading →
Winners and Losers in the Virus Handicap Race
"The winners of the SARS-CoV-2 panic are communist-socialist-anti-imperialist peoples. The losers are the 99% in gangster capitalist Eurangloland and its global vassals." - Geoff Brown - via The Titanic Lifeboat Academy I share this article because I am strongly anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist in all aspects of that in my views, though, while socialist in principle, not...

May 8, 2013 and it could be Today – “Can’t You See; It All Makes Perfect Sense”
Talking about serendipity, as I was in my previous post today, that "faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for" just occurred again for me as I idly browsed through my previously used document tags, not looking for anything in particular while waiting for my daily coffee of freshly ground organic...

More on COVID-19, and a little Heuristics
I want to add a few more points to what I said yesterday in my post on The Virus and to aid this, while the numbers have obviously now moved on, I am also sharing the same image of the situation as at yesterday. It turns out, as I was thinking about this before starting... Continue Reading →
A COVID-19 Update
It is now 5 days since I last reported on The Virus situation. That was the day following the end of the Easter holiday period. Has anything changed in that time? Well, no it hasn't, other than that all the numbers keep rising. That will eventually stop of course. At least we hope it will,... Continue Reading →
Waiting For The Corpse To Hit The Ground
"Myanmar is Moving Closer to China" - Dmitry Bokarev, exclusively for New Eastern Outlook (NEO) First let me say that while I have occasionally referenced or shared articles from NEO, I haven't paid perhaps the attention to that Journal site that maybe I should have. We who are dedicated to presenting alternative* views of world events... Continue Reading →
“There’s No Sorting It All Out”
Yesterday, actually only a few hours ago, I wrote in my last post - "Nothing in this world makes any sense any more". Today, just a few hours later, James Howard Kunstler publishes his latest blog post: "Flight Path"...with statements like - "There’s no sorting it all out, and the uncertainty itself is intolerable". Well,... Continue Reading →
Nothing Makes Sense Any More
Nothing in this world makes any sense any more. The chief concern of global authorities, governments, and indeed many people has been redirected onto a minor new illness that will kill perhaps a few hundred thousands of people or even eventually maybe a million or so while interupting economic growth for maybe only a short...
