I think this video represents one of the most agreeable and substantive stories to emerge from the stables of World Affairs in Context, by Lena Petrova. Well, she is a CPA* and therefore very professional, as well as possessing an interesting vocal delivery accompanied by, in my shallow, male, opinion, being easy on the eye.... Continue Reading →
Europe Chooses the Suicide Option
Boy am I glad I had the foresight to vacate and relocate from what I then perceived to be an eventual graveyard some 44 years ago. Where I moved to - Australia - is not in much better shape of course, having botched its only chance to escape the colonialist hell in a failed (built... Continue Reading →
Arctic Sea Ice Extent November 2025
Time for another month-end update and again 2025 has led us in a merry dance with a somewhat disappointing ending. Not seriously so, but we might have expected better. Below is a chart of NSIDC data plucked from the Charctic Interactive Sea Ice Graph, showing just this part of the current year (blue) plus last... Continue Reading →
Open Mind; Closed Mind. Open System; Closed System. Is There an Advantage? How About in AI?
I am no expert in AI, let me state that up front. Although it has been around in rudimentary form in the gaming arena (my favourite passtime*), and possibly in other places, for years. And whatever your views on the subject of AI, its benefits and inherent dangers, it is not going to go away... Continue Reading →
Bunkers Under Mountains Busted By Bombers? Nah. Agreed Deception More Like.
While I do not know the man personally, and the little I have gleaned about him - mostly self-revealed - would not place him within a close circle of friends (even if I had such a thing), I have adjudged him to be a man who says what he says, always concisely and to the... Continue Reading →
Deceit and Distortion – The American Way
I wish I could ignore this situation and write about something more interesting, but I can't. Chiefly, I suppose, because my own country, Australia, is also caught up in this distasteful mess - on the fringes, but also on the wrong side again (as per usual). Can I be more specific? Of course. Take a... Continue Reading →
Why Do We Do The Things We Do? And is That a Climate Issue?
For me, there are few main drivers in my life, which after brief moments of thought might boil down to being defined, at a fairly high level, as: countering the global climate fraud; exposing global injustice in the form of deceit, corruption and misuse of wealth and power (in a small number of cases of...

This Is Why I Support Russia’s Determined and Ultimately Victorious Operation in Ukraine. A Legitimate and Justified Response to Protect People and Prevent and Destroy Rising Nazism in the West.
The altruistic and humanitarian traditional values of Russia have been offended by the brutal and offensive actions of the West in their attempt to destroy Russia and its people. That was always the goal of the Western nations - especially and dramatically energised since 2014. And that idea should not be divorced in any way... Continue Reading →
Russia: “…we have a relationship with the People’s Republic of China that is unique in terms of its depth and trust”
Russia will not in any way act to cause a dilution of that relationship under any kind of pressure from the US just because the US is feeling isolated and in a weakened position on the issue of nuclear weapons and the evident loosening of their grip on the kind of hegemony they long enjoyed...

Not Something Else
