A section in this Global Times article sums it up perfectly. 'Contribution to the world' vs 'America First' There is a huge gulf in attitudes between these opposites in outlook. How can that ever be resolved? It is the difference between 'Service' and 'Selfishness', 'Openness' and 'Domination', 'Friendship' and 'Bullying', 'Right Attitude' and 'Wrong Attitude'....

I Am a COVID vaccine Superhero
A Message to the Unvaccinated ... (and the vaccinated) https://twitter.com/toobaffled/status/1882210717321003344 I have no idea who this is, what position he holds, or why he made the X video. But I am grateful to him and appreciative of his support. As for myself, I have always felt good about the stand I took more than four... Continue Reading →
Trump’s Troppo Trip
Explanation: [Troppo was originally a piece of World War II Aussie slang that referred to the mental illness that resulted from long military service in the tropics. In musical direction, troppo means too much. Hence, it’s a short leap from the musical meaning to the slang meaning, in the sense that you go troppo because it’s all too much.] MacQuarie...

Trump’s World
Please don't believe for one second that I might think the world is going to belong to Trump. I don't. In fact I think he is going to have a hard landing somewhere along the line, and that may turn out to be not too much in the future. But among the growing Razzle-Dazzle and... Continue Reading →
The United States of (a Small Part of) America Has to be Known as the Most Despicable, Unfriendly, Inept, Hypocritical, Self-Deluded and Vehemently Aggressive Nation on Earth
...and that is just a beginning of the endless Crime Sheet that could be put together to illustrate their unworthiness to remain among the community of nations. Nations which care about the future of that community. Is that too harsh an assessment? Would therefore a banishment and ostracisation also be too harsh? I don't think... Continue Reading →
“Go To Hell” America
I was quite overjoyed to read Christopher Black's latest article on NEO today. At last a voice from Canada - a nation I have not had much substance on which to heap praise for a long, long, time - raised to rebuke the new Trump pretender. Everything about the US is pretence. Hear! Hear, Christopher.... Continue Reading →
Trump’s MAGA Strategy Must Be Foiled – Even If It Means Going Nuclear
I wrote yesterday - my Goodies and Baddies piece - about how a successful future for all mankind can be brought about by Russia and the rest of the Global Majority acting in unison to ensure it does go that way. I hinted, merely a hint, that there is an opposite and hopefully not nearly... Continue Reading →
Those who claimed to be ‘Goodies’ revealed to have been the ‘Baddies’. Which means those known as the ‘Baddies’, all along were the ‘Goodies’.
That's how my own thinking has been on this, at least more concretely so since 2015, I should say. And in recent years it has turned most definitely in that direction. How much cleaner the air is beginning to seem, now that we all know where the rotten stink is coming from. Time to get... Continue Reading →
Don’t Be Misled By Current Climate Extremes
It is to be entirely expected that there would be a few wildfires here and there across the nominally Temperate regions of the world, in season or out of season. I expect there are also instances of serious flooding, unusually heavy storm activity. Perhaps even volcanic or earthquake disruptive outbreaks as well as strong winds.... Continue Reading →
