I want to add a few more points to what I said yesterday in my post on The Virus and to aid this, while the numbers have obviously now moved on, I am also sharing the same image of the situation as at yesterday. It turns out, as I was thinking about this before starting... Continue Reading →
A COVID-19 Update
It is now 5 days since I last reported on The Virus situation. That was the day following the end of the Easter holiday period. Has anything changed in that time? Well, no it hasn't, other than that all the numbers keep rising. That will eventually stop of course. At least we hope it will,... Continue Reading →
Waiting For The Corpse To Hit The Ground
"Myanmar is Moving Closer to China" - Dmitry Bokarev, exclusively for New Eastern Outlook (NEO) First let me say that while I have occasionally referenced or shared articles from NEO, I haven't paid perhaps the attention to that Journal site that maybe I should have. We who are dedicated to presenting alternative* views of world events... Continue Reading →
“There’s No Sorting It All Out”
Yesterday, actually only a few hours ago, I wrote in my last post - "Nothing in this world makes any sense any more". Today, just a few hours later, James Howard Kunstler publishes his latest blog post: "Flight Path"...with statements like - "There’s no sorting it all out, and the uncertainty itself is intolerable".

"This IS The Global Reset. Prepare Accordingly." - The Corbett Report via The Titanic Lifeboat Academy A few short weeks ago I made the claim (or words to the effect) that COVID-19 is unlikely to be the catalyst for a global economic meltdown but would help to bring such an event into focus and perhaps...

Beware of Idiots
"Perth man jailed for coronavirus quarantine breach after repeatedly sneaking out of hotel" - Australia ABC News The world is full of idiots. Sadly most of them do not prominently wear the obligatory Idiot Displayable Identification Order Tag so they are not usually recognisable - although close inspection of their actions, or listening to what...

Staying Up With The Times
Just a quick note to say that it looks like tomorrow's COVID-19 reporting will be saying that the global total for coronavirus cases has for the first time a seven digit number beginning with a '2'. It is less than 2 weeks since that total even got a seventh digit. I have little doubt that... Continue Reading →
Looking Back to Look Forward – When All Is Ruin
"Ruin Nation" - Kunstler There is an undeniable poignancy about Kunstler's post today. A pictorial look-back at what America used to be and, inevitably, what it has become - a nation in ruin. Of course this is not a situation exclusively restricted to the US. Similar scenes can be seen throughout the Western empire, but... Continue Reading →
