Stop prevaricating, Western leaders!

Alike with thousands of others, if not millions I have been rather glued to the news reports from Ukraine. Like others I have been wondering why Russia invaded. This is just not a ‘Special military operation’ to weedle out Nazis or whatever. It is a blatant attempt to usurp the democracy and turn it into a vassal state or actually absorb it into Russia. Also I am aghast at the spineless words and mealy-mouthed opinions of other world leaders. Yes, Macron and also Germany. Belatedly the PM of the country I was born in, the Netherlands has seen the light. But only after Russia cut off all gas supplies. The self-interests blinded these leaders, yes the war is terrible but let’s not jeopardise the oil and gas. At least not until summer next year. 

What do people think this is about? It is basically a fight for the survival of the Ukraine in the first place and in the second place the survival of Europe as a whole! Make no mistake, Russia is not going to stop at just the Ukraine. Putin will also want the return of the Baltics, Moldova and has his sights on Poland as well. May be even wants to cut Germany in two yet again. It is a sorry state of affairs since our western leaders do not seem to grasp the situation fully. You only have to look at the history of the Russian empire to see how it performs. Since 1945 there have been numerous attempts at localised insurrections mostly culminating in a land-grab like the Karelian isthmus taken from Finland amongst other Finnish areas in the north. The same for the Baltics. Kaliningrad enclave was taken from the Germans. Perhaps Poland, I am not sure because the whole area there has had numerous border changes. The truth is simple, appeasing a despot just makes them more demanding just because it has been shown to work! In the West, particularly my adopted country, the UK we have seen the problems and belatedly now are making amends. So are the Americans. The facts are simple if the Ukraine falls, so will we, before too long.

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
