"The last time the Democratic Party blew up in a presidential election year was 1860," says James Howard Kunstler to kick off his latest blog post titled "A fraught Moment". A fraught moment indeed, and that blog post is a real scorcher to set the scene to next week's beginning of possibly very dramatic events.... Continue Reading →
Democracy Overshadowed
Australia has given up on democracy and is well on the way to becoming an American style totalitarian state. PHOTO: It is important to go beyond just the symbolism of what the Prime Minister announced this week. (ABC News: Marco Catalano) The country has been on that path for years and nobody much, including myself, really noticed. ... Continue Reading →
A Childhood No Longer Available
Here's something interesting. "See how global warming has changed the world since your childhood" It will take some time for you to go through this but you would probably be well advised to take that time. It is made by Australians and mostly covers the Australian situation but obviously has connotations for the rest of... Continue Reading →
Waiting For The Hard Rain of Indictments To Fall
It is time for the rain of indictments to fall on all those (no matter who they are) involved in the now revealed Trump-Russia seditious hoax and attempted coup against a duly elected President, perpetrated over the past three years by the Democratic Party and its leaders, in league with various US Intelligence organisations (and...

I thought I knew some background to all this, and the article does reach more or... Continue Reading →
CIA ‘Maggot-filled Dog Shit’
There is something about 'maggot-filled dog shit' that I find quite intriguing. Wish I was an entomologist. Then I could closely study the mainly CIA instigated colour revolution going on in Hong Kong over the past several months. "It’s like an entomologist having a test tube full of maggot-filled dog shit to study up close,"... Continue Reading →
Thoughts, and the Educated Mind
The thought speaks for itself, but the image is how I want to always remember my previous self-built home garden. Aristotle tells us that we don't need to believe everything we see or hear, and goodness knows our minds are literally bombarded today, like at no other time in history, with thoughts and ideas few...

On the Relevance of NATO and the United Nations
Some useful thoughts are portrayed in this piece by Sarah Abed. "Turkey holds NATO hostage until Syria-related demands are met" I am in complete agreement that NATO has run its course and has no role to play, none at all, in the 21st century. It is a quasi-military organisation with no army and no enemy... Continue Reading →
