James Howard Kunstler is like a breath of fresh air in a stifling hot... [think before you write Bernie] ...I guess I mean wherever in any small, enclosed space it gets stifling hot. He once again hits the nail right on the point where it gets driven home. It's about all our tomorrows again -... Continue Reading →
Message From Wuhan
Forget any pre-conceptions about coronavirus. Forget what you may have heard or seen reported on Western news. Forget about what anyone, including Trump (oh, you've already forgotten about him? sorry for the reminder), has said about the virus and China - specifically about Wuhan. Listen to what the people of Wuhan city have to say... Continue Reading →
Of Celebrations, Dates, and Cycles
Chinese people in the city of Wuhan openly and joyfully celebrated the new year of the western calendar in a huge public gathering which has, not surprisingly, drawn jealous criticism from western media sources. "How dare they celebrate, when we are all locked up, sorry, locked down, and dying by the thousands," is the plaintiff... Continue Reading →
A Case of True Russian Altruism
'True Russian Altruism'? That is kind of a redundant statement since I know of no actual case of false Russian altruism. Disingenuity (or 'disingenuousness' if you are as old as I am: https://www.lexico.com/definition/disingenuous) is more a western trait. What other nation in today's world would freely offer the use of its own pharmaceutically developed technology... Continue Reading →
Pfizer COVID vaccine is 0.39% effective, not 95%
Pfizer COVID vaccine is 0.39% effective, not 95% as officially claimed. See link below. And the effectiveness of the Moderna one is likewise overstated. I suspect that all or most other such vaccines would, if properly calculated, show a similar small degree of effectiveness. Less than half a percent effectiveness over not taking a vaccine...

Swamp Clearing Stalled
I thought four years ago that I would never again be regaled by the expression 'the haircut in search of a brain', but here it is again. No lessons learned at all over the past four years of desultory and ill-fated swamp clearing. Isn't that somehow more than a little sad? It is all explained,... Continue Reading →
COVID-19 – ‘Fake’ or ‘Deadly’
It makes me very angry when stupid people talk and write about a 'fake' pandemic. There is nothing 'fake' about the novel coronavirus disease that has become known to us by its given pandemic identifier as COVID-19. You don't find people who have genuinely contracted the disease referring to it as 'fake'. You don't find... Continue Reading →
COVID-19 Data Manipulation?
Over the last 3 months or so I have consistently said that the figures for COVID-19 don't add up to anything logical or even meaningful. From mid-April onwards, the number of cases has spiralled upwards while the number of deaths has fallen - to a low of some 50% of the original daily peak, now... Continue Reading →
Just Six More Months
Six months, to a world of 'Open Slather' (that's an Aussie idiom for 'anything goes') on the proliferation of nuclear weapons and the testing thereof. Six months. Courtesy of the warmongers leading (or waiting to lead) the US along a path of global destruction. You think COVID-19 is a problem? If not as a personal... Continue Reading →
Not Something Else
