A New Year's resolution?

Is anyone still believing that Russia is a peace-loving nation? Frankly, they are deluded. There is just one thing autocratic nations believe in and that is world domination. They simply want to have installed puppet regimes all over the world. You only have to read their manifestos or political outpourings, written or verbal and you will know! What I cannot understand is our western approach to this. It is basically very similar to 1939 when another deluded politician went to see a dictator and listened to the same weasel words and returned waving a nice piece of paper saying – Peace in our time! That peace lasted less than the time you need to boil an egg. Why we, in the western world still believe there are peaceful intentions with the autocratic regimes, Russia, China, Iran and others, it will only encourage more acts of violence. It is seen in the Ukraine, Israel (Gaza) and in the Pacific where China is rattling the sabre. And we in the western world are very happy to ignore all of that as long as we can fly to Spain or elsewhere in the Mediterranean area for a bit of sun. So, who cares? If you do not believe me, just look at the queues at Heathrow and you will note the type of person waiting to fly. These are mostly under 35 and have just come from some protest about global warming. But they are tired now and need a vacation in Spain. It completely escapes their brain that global warming has been aided by taking hundreds of thousands of flights. Plus, of course, the CO2 emanations in the manufacturing processes. Again, why care. Aren’t we entitled to our pleasures?

Just as news of the missiles in both the Ukraine and Russia has reached us, we might ask why Russia feels to ask for the UN Security Council to be convened? Because Belgorod has had a few missiles striking it. Yet Russia has no problem bombing the sh*t out of the Ukraine. That’s OK then. It surely is high time for the western world to show some balls! It is the poor Ukrainians that are bearing the brunt of the Russian aggression, not Poland, not Germany, not the Baltics. Looking at the signs I might add that it won’t be long, if the Ukraine falls, the Baltics will be next and Poland thereafter. But we are happy because we have the paper that shows Peace in our time! So, let’s keep on dancing and protesting or whatever else takes our fancy. It won’t be long, maybe not even in our short lives but we will have to face up to Russian aggression. Hopefully we will not treat the issue as in 1939 for surely we should remember what that means. That ought to be our New Year's Resolution!

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
