It appears that the stable relationship between coronavirus reported cases and deaths may be becoming less stable than it has been over the last 8 weeks or so. I expected to see by today a death count of some 300,000. OK, its not far short of that figure and by the end of the day... Continue Reading →
New Beginning Required
The US must declare bankruptcy, as apparently threatened by Donald Trump some years ago. I don't actually remember that but I'm sure it happpened - James Kunstler has a good memory for such things. But, erm... Jim? JIm, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim. If the world ever got wind that was likely to happen, they would... Continue Reading →
A Little Payback
Australia need not look beyond its borders for potential enemies. We are our own worst enemy. And that also potentially means our government is our worst enemy, because I don't think it is you or me. Well, it's certainly not me, but you could be part of the problem too by stupidly voting to retain... Continue Reading →
It All Hinges On How You See Things – It’s Called ‘Perception’
I am sharing this story, not because I agree with everything said there, but because it asks questions - some answered correctly, some incorrectly, some unanswered. Questions that Westerners would seldom, if ever, consider for themselves - and so it is an important document. Perhaps, in the current circumstances, though it would hardly have been...

Obama’s Self-Preservation Attempt
He would, if he could, but he can't. So he wants Uncle Joe to do it. No hope of that. What am I talking about? Well, it's this report of how he is now sweating bricks (sweating 'bullets' if you are American) over recent developments in settling the Russiagate affair (bringing to justice those responsible...

“Vice President (Joe) Biden” was “also present.”
The beginning of the end for Uncle Joe (and others)? Of course it could be argued that it started much earlier, perhaps back in 2014 during murky interference events in Ukraine, in which he was deeply involved, but there was no sign of an end back then. So I'm saying that, evidentially, it starts right... Continue Reading →
Celebrating Victory Day, May 9
"Russians celebrate Victory Day amid pandemic" - TASS A lone man celebrates Victory Day 2020 on behalf of all Russians and a maybe not quite grateful enough world. Russians yesterday celebrated Victory Day, the 75th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War (World War 2), but not in the usual way - due to... Continue Reading →
He Does It His Way…
Last week I made the observation "The wheels of Justice grind exceeding slow" with regard to the Russiagate affair which has long dragged on, wailing plaintively for some of that justice to be served. Well, I'm happy to report that those wheels are now rolling smoothly along the track and justice will soon be seen... Continue Reading →
A Brief COVID-19 Update.
Today, as I forecast up to 2 weeks ago, the global case level has reached 4 million and I can now confidently claim there will be 400,000 deaths reported by May 22 as I also said some days ago. First we have to pass the 300,000 mark on or around May 11. The global trajectory... Continue Reading →
