I have added a new name to my 'stable' (if that's an appropriate word) of suitable reference sources for all things pertaining to meaningful reporting of events in this modern world, where so many, and such complicated things happen, seemingly almost every day. Such sources come and go of course as views change and the... Continue Reading →
“This ‘Be like us’ is over” – Jan Oberg
I may at times go over the top when talking about my disgust with the US - the supposed leader of the narrow western corner, or 'enclave', of the world, its importance blown out of all proportion to its actual value within human society, but that is only a 'frontal' position taken because I don't...

Well, just to set the scene and declare all my cards, a few days into the year I made the prediction that the decade by decade period of annually increasing Arctic sea ice melting has now reached its maximum level during the 2011-2020...

President or Not, it is Not up to Trump (or anyone else except Putin) to Decide Ukraine Terms
When are Yankee Dunderheads going to realise their voice will not be recognised on the subject of what state Ukraine will be in after it surrenders unequivocally to Russia?

Left Staggering From a Swinging Right Hook Yesterday, Finished by a Crisp Uppercut Today
When you begin by dealing out a swinging right hook as William Schryver did yesterday (shared by me here), why not finish with a crisp uppercut today? Now, I'm not a boxer, nor a street-fighter, but I think that is what he is doing here - and it all seems good to me... The Last... Continue Reading →
