Have you ever seen inside one of the giant Russian nuclear powered ice-breaker ships? No, of course you haven't, but you can now... and you can marvel at Russia's shipbuilding industry through the video in this blog post. "You Don't Need To Know Russian..." - says Andrei Martyanov. ...and of course he is right -... Continue Reading →
Australia’s Dirty Tricks To Spy On China
For goodness' sake, why must the Western nations, all of them, continually sully their reputations - or what may remain of any virtue that may still loosely attach to them - by resorting to degraded tactics (actually it is not a question of 'resorting', it is their major, or only, proactive 'modus operandi' - they...

“Who’s living in the third world country?”
I am about 40% through reading Godfree Roberts most interesting and revelatory book "Why China Leads the World". There are a great many wonderful passages in what I have read, and which I would dearly love to quote, but I am holding myself in check because a) I don't have permission to reveal extensive parts...

In Space, Russia Is First …and other space/climate related topics
I have been worried for a few days about the absence of Andrei Martyanov, but I need not have cared. He has been working himself up into an almost apoplexic state which has culminated in his latest post... Why They Hate.... - Andrei Martyanov - Reminiscence of the Future.

“In the entire history of mankind, there has never been a political elite sincerely concerned about the wellbeing of regular people.”
That's a quote from MEP Christine Anderson, Member of the European Parliament, speaking at a recent panel opposing vaccine mandates and green card passports. I want this lady fighting for me, not the dumb sumbitches (pardon my street-talk) who get regularly selected as representatives of my people. Torpedoes being dropped seems to be a thing...

Australia’s Cognitive Dissonance (What World Do They Think They Actually Live In?)
As an Australian citizen I am constantly bewildered by the antics of my nation's government, which has all the appearances of having gone insane, lost the plot, has a few Kangaroos loose in the top paddock and have been carried away by delusions of their own grandeur. Do they really believe they can out-compete a... Continue Reading →
US Reduced to Using Only Govt Funded NGOs as its Elite Front Line Troops
Knowing it has zero chance to impose its threats militarily anywhere in the world now, the US is reduced to promoting what has always been its second line of offence (defence never having had a role in US foreign policy) - government funded NGOs - to be the elite forces of its front line efforts...

Is the Individual Right?
There is much talk today of the losses of freedoms of the individual. It used to be - at least in theory, and, for the most part also in law - that the individual, and therefore the rights of the individual, were held to be sacrosanct. That word, contrary to its generally held meaning, has... Continue Reading →
