Well, the Solomon Islands election results may not have gone the way any external links might have wished them to go - a coalition government is never an ideal solution - although a standpoint emerges which confirms that "taking sides among regional powers is not the decisive factor", but the mood appears still to be...

Australia Will “…end up sacrificing its own interests to support the hegemony of the US.”
In addition to any related consideration possibly discussed in the article below, Australia's new defence strategy - revealed this week - is extremely short-sighted. The reason being that 'US hegemony' is a disappearing artifice which most of the world is now ignoring or shunning. And when that artifice has been completely negated, where will that...

The End of Trust in the West – A New Beginning
A major failing of Russia in the past has been the trust placed in agreements or statements, documented or voiced by the west. And by the west, of course, is meant any nation or representative of any nation described as being 'western' or having any connections with western thought or dominion. Nothing, in today's world,...

Temporary Concession
I currently have a ban on sharing anything by James Howard Kunstler but I am making an exception for this, his latest at time of writing, because it is an example of James at his brilliant best. And it is the only one of his recent posts for which I would make such a concession.... Continue Reading →
It’s Inevitable, ‘The crisis in the West will steadily deepen’
I doubt very much that any logical conclusion could be drawn that would negate or disavow the above statement, and since its conclusion also forms the title of a recently published essay on the subject, I need not elucidate further on that. I simply point you to the piece since I am in complete agreement... Continue Reading →
Of Boogers, Bogeys and Purple-Heads
I would like to see some sort of internationally recognised awards for Best Innovative Use of Language. If such awards there were, I would right now nominate for best Adjectivated Noun, used to great effect in the article linked below by Tom Luongo. I laughed long and repetitively on reading it last night and I... Continue Reading →
‘The Heroes of Avostal’ – A Fairy Tale – And Some Real News (All in Video)
What some are describing as a major breakthrough and even the 'end of the war' (What war? There is no 'War' - if it was 'war' it would have been over months ago. It is a 'Special Operation' - with no set timetable, but working to ethical standards), took a turn yesterday. I wouldn't describe... Continue Reading →
Australia’s Prime Minister is a Fool
...and not just a fool, an utter fool. A dangerous and desperate utter fool. OK. He can draw red lines wherever he wishes to draw red lines. That's what fools do. They apparently get some sort of satisfaction from doing that (there being other examples throughout westernism as precedents for this). It is one way... Continue Reading →
Pandemic or Not, For Women of World’s Biggest Economy, Supply of Sanitary Pads Remains of Supreme Importance
It seems an eminently reasonable expectation to me but, as a man, I'm not qualified to comment. Please just read the story. JIN DING/CHINA DAILY I am simply amazed that in a crazed world of mostly ridiculous and highly irrelevant news reporting, China can still calmly and level-headedly find the time and news-space to consider...
