A very timely warning? It sure has to be...

The Sky political report I just read about the Russian intentions was rather revealing. Not only that but I also have felt for quite a time that the Russian mentality is an aggressive one. They do have an inbuilt distrust of western peoples. It might have something to do with the invasions of Napoleon and Hitler but I cannot be certain. I think as they are the descendants of Atilla the Hun explains all. The Mongols of old did virtually what the Russian army still does. Plunder, rape and destroy everything in their path. 

However, to go back to the news bit it said a new security chapter has opened in Europe. No sh*t? It has always been some problem in Europe, ever since man moved into the lush forests to hunt boar. The Russian invasion has shaken our sleepy leaders to the core and all are now suddenly regretting to have decimated the armed forces. As the report said, the West went to sleep after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Except the problem was as it appears now, the Russians did not. In fact they did not lessen their armed forces but took great steps to arm with nuclear weapons. There were warnings but politicians like we have had in Britain after WW2 were convinced that Russia and China were no threat. How wrong we have been! The result was as we have now, armed forces of a measly 70,000 at the most. Probably just enough to invade the Channel Islands should they get ideas of independence. I avidly watched the TV programmes about our navy, the building of the two newest carriers but should we have not thought that these big ships are great targets? It is true though that they have planes on them that can escape but there will be no return when a silent sub has torpedoed them. 

All in all, it is the same story, you let your guard down and someone will throw a punch. Or at least will try! Whilst we have nations like Russia led by a megalomaniac or China which is also seems intent on a confrontational way of politics or even Iran which threatened to wipe Israel of the map, we would be stupid to drop all sense of security. Not just for ourselves but for our way of life. Democracy and free will. Russia’s naked aggression should be a big warning to us here. It will be a lot better facing them where they are now. To push them back to their borders, rather than having to face them across the North Sea! So, no quibbling about enlarging the armed forces in Britain. We need 300,000 plus the most modern conventional weapons. Let's stop any political nonsense about Trident or even better develop our own. Including small battlefield nuclear weapons. Future wars as now shown are pretty destructive to infrastructure, the reason why Russian armed forces are bombing civilian areas. To stop weapons and aid coming through. So, let's this be a warning to us all. It just doesn't pay to drop your guard.

Where are the aliens?

  The question and Answer software called ‘Quora’ had some quite interesting debate about aliens. I am bowled over by how many, and some are quite educated, believe in aliens. Particularly that they have been here and not just that, are still here and doing great intelligent things like making crop circles. I have to be honest here and say that yes there are aliens except we will never see or hear them. As probability will tell you that with trillions of galaxies, having billions of stars the likelihood of other life is near to 100%. The problem is that life such as ours on Earth needs to move but in such a way as is possible on Earth. That is to say, a gravity of 1, oxygen to breathe and food of a kind that is digestible. The next thing to consider is movement, meaning star travel. It is pretty clear that life such as on Earth is not really around in our solar system. We might find some microbes but that’s about it . The distances between the star systems even

Is there such a thing as mind-control?

One of my favourite author’s Scott Mariani. Writing explosive stories with the great character he created, Benedict Hope. The latest gung-ho story called The Moscow Cipher actually highlights one of the things that has bothered a lot of people. That of mind-control. I’ve wondered about that as well since even in this country that is a process carried out. It is not a bloody affair as depicted in the book but nevertheless computers, the power of the chip has made it so much easier to influence the minds of the general public. Fake news, little bits of untruths here and there. No hesitation in deluding the general public. Just read, listen and make your mind up. All done in the name of “the truth would harm us all”. But will it? . We have smart phones. With chips that know where we are, what we do and what we say. And yes, it is logged somewhere. We have been rail-roaded into using Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp. Google knows more about you than the taxman or even your partner and that

Is humanity performing euthanasia on itself?

Looking at the happenings in the Middle East I wonder how suddenly Hamas, i.e the de-facto army of the so-called Palestinian state, took it upon themselves to invade Israel. It cannot be a coincidence that Russia needed some pressures, not in Ukraine but somewhere else to take away the limelight on them. W here better than the Middle East. I am virtually certain that one way or another there are political shenanigans afoot. What IS Palestine exactly? I know about Bedouins, Arabs and Jews, are these not all one and the same? Sure, there are different religions but if you look very closely there are great similarities. It is stupid of most of us not to notice but three of the most followed religions are all based on the same precedents. So w here does the term Palestine come from, I might ask. There was the Ottoman empire, and prior to that the Roman. Prior to that Alexander rampaged through the area. Prior to that we had Egyptians, Hittites and God knows what else. Even monkeys held sw
