Well, well. So it is over. Beginning approximately 3-4 hours after the third re-schedule due to Ukie bickering, and cannot possibly have lasted much more than three hours. Just enough time for greetings and introductions. That pretty much speaks for what was achieved, but I guess we should wait for official word. So, expect for... Continue Reading →
When Did The ‘Gods’ Abandon Planet Earth?
Ooooh! A controversial title for a blog post. I am doing this only to signal that I am in the process of a much bigger project which will perhaps answer that question. No, it is not a book, but it may turn out to be the size of a book - if and when I... Continue Reading →
A Step Toward Decoding the Real History of Humanity
[This is a Work In Progress and is being released in conjunction with a brief post to announce that I am in fact working on this as a separate project (which, however, may never reach completion). The Title may be a little grandiose, but is only a place-holder. This is not how you write a... Continue Reading →
So, Thursday was a No-Show for Ukraine. Russian Generosity Provides Second, and I think Final Chance today.
It's already after mid-morning in Istanbul and I have heard no signs of a Ukrainian presence in that city. 'PREVIEW: Russia-Ukraine talks expected to begin in Istanbul' - TASS - May 16, 2025 If this meeting happens at all, it will be a direct discussion between Russia and Ukraine, with, I suspect, as the host...

High Midnight
Istanbul time is the same as Moscow time. It is after 5.00pm May 15, 2025 as I write this. Ukraine, I believe, requested a change from a morning start to an afternoon one. Russia's delegation has been waiting for them in Istanbul since the original time this morning. I don't think they, the Ukrainians, are... Continue Reading →
“It’s Not American” – Which Makes It – ‘One For The Books’
I long (yearn) for stories about my chosen country - Australia - which I can be proud to announce and display to the world. But they are few and far between these days. Government mismanagement of the country and warped views on world affairs throughout the country generally, have ensured that. I hope for change,... Continue Reading →
Which Part of this Image Would You Describe as ‘Isolation’, ‘Desultoriness’, or Perhaps even ‘Isolated-Desultoriness’?
It's a rhetorical question. I credit my readers with more intelligence than to expect any incorrect answers. Two Images Combined. The Euro-Crusaders above the Russian Victory Day National Leaders Group. Claimed 'public image' borrowed from Simplicius' - 'SITREP 5/12/25: More 'Talks' Games as Russian Machine Barrels Forward'. Hey! As an afterthought, have you noticed Mr... Continue Reading →
The Netherlands and Australia Continue Their Fake Case Against Russia on the MH17 Tragedy. It’s Laughable Really. They Have No Case.
'The Netherland, Australia want ICAO to oblige Russia begin talks on MH17 case' - TASS - May 12, 2025 I'm going to share this TASS news in full here (for readers' convenience) because, as an Australian, I am ashamed of my country's actions in pursuing the ridiculous 'kangaroo court' process, which I have followed every...

Peace Talks, Peace Offers, Concessions, Ceasefires, Truces, What a Shemozzle!! Don’t be looking for any kind of peace in Ukraine, it won’t happen … for a long time, yet. Too Much to be Done.
Let's see if we can sort it out. What's on offer? This is the event which kicked off a string of messages on Ukraine yesterday, May 11. Russian President Putin made an offer to Ukraine to meet directly to continue the talks interrupted during 2022 in Istanbul, to take place on May 15. 'Talks with... Continue Reading →
