It doesn't pay to get too single point focussed on an issue. I missed something on my previous post, something noteworthy, and so I must return to the recent ASEAN summit to elucidate. America. In a way, despite all their wrongdoings and spiteful misadventures, it is sad to witness the undoing of a once great... Continue Reading →
Why Does America Always Take Positions Which Set Itself Up For Failure?
I could give numerous such cases but let's look at something current - a very long running saga, the US relationship with Asia. The tune of that relationship, such as it is, such as it ever was (and there is only one single tune - though numerous variations), can be played on a one string... Continue Reading →
Of Bullies and Barking Dogs
I have not had need to refer to Australia's Defense Minister (What lunatic gave him that sensitive job?), the Right Horrible Peter Dutton - otherwise known (by me) as 'Zombie-man', for quite some time as he has mostly been on a leash, held in some dark kennel away from the public gaze since his stint...

Russia Signals Effective End-of-line For Kiev’s Donbass Blockade
It has been a long time coming, but that is not in any way the fault of Russia. Every opportunity had to be given to the Kiev government to recognise the special nature of the LPR and DPR through the Minsk 2 agreements - which Kiev has singularly failed to do, but has engaged in...

West’s Hypocritical Humbug
I think it is safe to trot out the 'Humbug' word now that we are fast approaching the chief 'humbug' season of the year, where all normal activity of ongoing deceit, cheating, lying, and other underhand dealings, are hidden under a thin shroud of merriment and an excess of self-indulgence for a short few days,...

Where Martyanov Shines
Just to show that I really do admire the work of Andrei Martyanov (following my recent post critical of his take on climate change), I want to feature his three most recent Reminiscence of the Future blog posts, appearing on my reading list today. This is the stuff Andrei Martyanov is all about, and all... Continue Reading →
How Some, maybe many, Doctors Feel
Straight, honest, open-minded, from-the-heart, reality-based talking, deserves to be shared. Which is why I am sharing this article. I also share it of course because I find it to represent the truth of how many in the medical professions must, if they care about anything at all (and I am sure most do - it's... Continue Reading →
The Folly of Apple-Pear Comparisons
Andrei Martyanov is very good at what he knows, but he should stick to what he knows and not push pet theories on subjects he obviously knows little about. I suppose I could say the same about myself too, but 'I' am not the subject of this piece and I do try to self-regulate as... Continue Reading →
Population Growth still on Track – COVID Makes No Difference
Some time ago (at least 2 years) I predicted, based on global population clock figures, that the 50 year trend of an average annual growth in human beings on planet Earth, of something in the low 80+ millions, would continue for some time yet and may, all things being equal and barring catastrophes (which do...
