China refutes Australia's accusation of tweeting "fake image" - Xinhuanet Because Australians, and people in other parts of the world, will only ever hear one side of the story - the Western propaganda side - I am sharing this post from Xinhua in full to give China's view of the situation. I find it sickening that... Continue Reading →
Take a Seat for a Kunstler Refreshment Break
Are you ready for the Monday (my Tuesday) Kunstler report? Here it is, and as usual at this special time I am sharing it in full. It's a cracker. Or a 'Kraken', if you like. And now we will all be on tenterhooks for a while (but not for long), waiting to see what develops... Continue Reading →
Afghan Lives Matter …not apparently to Australia
Afghan Lives Matter ...not apparently to Australia, whose government chooses to lash out at condemnation of itself and its unprincipled and uncontrollable military elements, rather than taking any criticism, legitimately directed at it, on the chin, with contrition and humility for its soldiers vile misdemeanours. "Morrison's demand for an apology from China is a trick... Continue Reading →
“…a likelihood to succeed.”
The race to determine who will lead the United States (if such a named entity manages to survive the process) as its president, is not yet over. Not by a long shot.

Special Delivery…
I have something really quite special to share here today. Did you miss my writing over the past several days? This year, so far, I have written here some 384 times - that's an average of a little more than one post a day. More posts than in any year since I started this blog... Continue Reading →
“Australia needs to have independent diplomatic thinking. But… is doing just the opposite.”
Does Australia want to remain 'Australia'? Apparently not. It appears to prefer to be 'UStralia'. I'm not sure if the Australian people also want that. I certainly don't. I want the Australia back that brought me half way around the world to become one of its citizens, having seen no bright future for the UK.... Continue Reading →
A Time Of Travail
'Travail', meaning 'painful or laborious effort' - that's a good word for what awaits America, and indeed the rest of the world, no matter who comes out on top of the farcical US 2020 presidential election - and that, just as a reminder, is not a so far settled outcome. In most of my writings... Continue Reading →
