The Maidan's Nuland, drawn in from the Trump era wasteland, scrubbed up and freshly painted (the mask, a 'du jour' accessory of course), is back in action. This time in Lebanon. I don't see any free cookies yet, but I'm sure they will come. "Lebanon's Ministry of Interior: 'Lebanese Forces started the shooting'" - The... Continue Reading →
Yes, there are intelligent, thoughtful people in Australia …somewhere
I think I found one. Or maybe two. The interviewee and, strangely enough, the actual interviewer in this Youtube video. The interviewee is, or was, having now resigned her position, a sworn officer in the Victoria Police. She explains the reasons for her resignation at this point in time. Surprisingly, actually not surprisingly - having... Continue Reading →
Is This A Joke?
"Diplomat rejects prospect of US stationing forces in Uzbekistan to ‘combat terrorism’" - TASS "Uzbekistan’s Foreign Minister Abdulaziz Kamilov flatly rejected any possible stationing of American forces in the Central Asian country to combat terrorism in Afghanistan, on Thursday." Is this a joke? I mean the idea, the presumptive idea, the naïve idea, the ultimately... Continue Reading →
CHINA – For what it represents, “BIG” is a totally inadequate descriptive word
Let the West flounder in its delusion. They have no idea what the new China represents. Not a clue. They still believe their puny encirclement and containment strategies, which have served them in the past on the nefarious adventures in which they have engaged, can still provide the same results as they usually did in...

Beware The Ides of October, November, …
I can't not share today's Kunstler.com post - 'The Waiting Is The Hardest Part'. It is spot on. https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/the-waiting-is-the-hardest-part/ It is not clear to me just why businesses and governments choose 'The Ides' of a month ('The Ides', a Roman thing, marking roughly the middle of a month) to begin measures likely to engender unrest,...

How to Split Society – Part 1
I make no apologies for sharing this image - found on The Automatic Earth - since it echoes my sentiments exactly...https://theautomaticearth.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/OwnHospital.jpg Basically, it's hospital for the unvaxxed. Segregationist? Undoubtedly. But we unvaxxed didn't start the war. One 'x' or two 'xx's? I plump for the two 'xx' version, since that seems to be the most... Continue Reading →
‘Reports of My Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated’ – BRICS
I am always happy to read something new from Phil Butler, and doubly happy when that something is about BRICS - which has been receiving bad press recently as to maybe not so much its death (makes a good headline though) but its remaining relevance. The world needs BRICS as an ongoing and vital alternative... Continue Reading →
The US Wishes China Would Just Go Away. China Of Course Has No Intention Of Doing That.
The biggest headache for the US today is not Russia. They know there is nothing they can do about Russia. They can't destroy or subdue Russia - I mean they have already tried unsuccessfully, several times. They also know they are actually more likely to destroy not only most of their allies if they attempted... Continue Reading →
Serious Losses of US Intelligence
Well, this is interesting, and might explain the donut shape of US intelligence of late. "CIA cable confirms 'dozens' of informants killed in Russia, China, Iran, Pakistan" - The Cradle - and an unusually large number of other news outlets It may also explain why The Company was concentrating its efforts on ousting the Trump...
