Cinema Greats: Remembering Donald Pleasence – Another Brilliant Actor
One of those actors who you feel had much more to give than the actual opportunities that came his way. Thrilled to run into this, the only interview I watched of him (sadly he died just 4 years later in 1995)

Andrew Marr reacts to UK sanctions on Israeli settlers (my response)
Talking about jewish friends or the threat of antisemitism I have no issue with whatsoever, but in this context it promotes the false talking point that this is a conflict of religions which it most definitely is not. For people who want to make comments or wish to engage on […]
Read More The AfD Election Win & How to Finally Face up to the Battle of Ideologies (a proposition)
Wake up calls are sometimes more important than an event in itself cause it allows us to recognise realities we’ve been living in for far too long; the ride on complacency train through fantasy land. In my opinion and at this precise time in history middle ground politics is no […]

Read More The EU – State of the Union: Priorities Outlined (or perhaps “outdated”….)
Security/Defence, Migration Control, Ukraine/Russia Conundrum; These are the focus points for Europe. Not foreign policy, resolving foreign conflicts, protecting international law or attempting to help shape a new world order. To the contrary, the strategy is quite simple; build a huge wall, reinforce your security and all will be well. […]

Read More AI Through the Back Door is a Path to a Brick Wall
This threat is not news and yet we see little in the way of assessing/mitigating the risks by governments. They seem to be distracted by the benefits/fascinated by the opportunities and are spending much less time in understanding/preparing for the risks in the fast/haphazard way the technology is being implemented […]
Read More Andy Burnham Set to Introduce Trade Ban on Israeli Settlements (have we seen this farce before)??
Two points; The approach of banning trade on settlements is one that’s been tried and tested and already failed miserably as we can clearly see. If the Israeli government itself is promoting the development/expansion of illegal settlements and promoting despicable attitudes towards Palestinian – the real owners of the land […]

Operation NOT FOR PROFIT (for Values and Preserving the Human Dimension)
It’s more of an approach/philosophy of life not based on theory but rather on where we are in this day-and-age and how we’re all becoming more obsessed with consuming goods and associating that with quality of life. This also made us more vulnerable as a society to the whims of […]

Read More Combating Antisemitism in Australia
A very interesting exchange and you can make of it what you will but here’s the thrust of the argument; while any commission reviews the real threat of antisemitism – a clear and valid threat – it seems to shy out from discussing the overall context in the fear – […]

This Rotten System Across the West is Really Getting Out of Control All Because of a Conflict that has Shackled Political Systems, all but Eliminated long-held Values and Continues to Torch Regions Is This the New Genius Migration Control Strategy?? HOW INCREDIBLY CLEVER….
Read More State of the Union: Alice Weidel Delivers a Strong Speech (in English)
First time I see Alice Weidel giving a speech in English, great stuff. But a few confusing parts for me; talking about values, freedom of speech and democracy under attack. Well great to see her defending these values but what I don’t understand is how these values can be represented […]

Are we to expect the worthless “sanctions” ticket by the EU shortly? It provides a free pass on weekends from 9:00 – 18:00 (so maybe worth it when you’re stuck)
Read More Occupied Palestine: Democratic Overdose on Occupied Land
Excessive Levels of Democratic Governance Model/Values Continue to be “Played Out” on Occupied Land; how inspiring to watch the perpetrators, the observers and enablers dancing to the same tune miles apart while “lying undercover”. Truly, the so-called western alliance has become one big/fat joke. Of course the bigger joke are […]

Read More The Iran Conflict: Personal stories of Warfare
There are aggressors, there are defenders and there are clowns who merely push buttons. The worst part of warfare is when you suffer and die for the wrong cause because the person controlling the button/joystick does not really comprehend the meaning of sacrifice in a world with a diminishing sense […]
Read More Brass Instruments Take a Hit from the Trump Administration (any response UK & Europe)
Brass Instruments deemed security risk and slapped with TT (aka trump tariffs); but not to worry, the string and woodwind instruments have dodged it…for now! My hope is that the UK and possibly Europe sync up with these tariffs with similar one on US manufactured musical instruments and tools. Remember […]
Read More The Need to Look Backward to Plan Forward: Rise and Fall of Ceaușescu
History matters not to trap us but to guide us because we seem to be repeating old mistakes with a slightly different/more sophisticated approach with new tools and actors that trap into an endless cycle when we really should be miles ahead. Where relevant in my opinion I will be […]

Read More Disinformation & Inoculation
Disinformation is an extremely consequential subject that does need to be tackled fairly urgently as its foundational principal is abusing democratic governance models to achieve political, ideological or even commercial/financial ends; in other words “corruption” pure/simple. I totally agree with analysis in this clip and highly recommend watching the complete […]

Read More Ceuta Border Crisis – The EU Passing ‘The Smell Test’ During A Case of Anosmia
I guess the EU’s suggestion of it having passed the “Ceuta” test after the border breach considering all the wildly disgusting attacks on Spain after the incident instead of supporting it is kinda like passing the smell test during anosmia – blocked nose from a cold. It’s truly fascinating how […]

Read More The Cueta Border Breach – A Shocking Incident or A Golden Egg
Here’s what we’ve seen; once the breach occurred rightwing politicians/media were not interested in how/why it happened because the narrative was already prepared/signed off and ready for circulation along with the accompanying theatrics because they knew well that this presents a golden opportunity for reactionary panic to fuel public sentiment […]
Read More Germany de-Risking from China (a possibility or another illusion)
Here’s what I hear “de-risking with China” and here’s what I also hear; dependancy on key natural resources, manufacturing and security on both the US and China. My hunch is that without the EU investing in market diversification/expansion, natural resource exploration/diversifying suppliers, achieving military & political independence no de-risking can […]
Read More Ceuta Migrant Surge Crisis: Europe at a Crossroads
The breach of the border itself is not the issue as an incident that must and I’m sure will be resolved, but its clear the incident is being “played out” in right-wing media as an opportunity to supercharge the reactionary anti-immigrant sentiment that may end up having lasting/detrimental ramification on […]

During this interview the moment Senator Warner mentioned the excuse of him also taking from muslim groups I was literally shouting at the monitor “WELL DON’T!”; just an obvious impulsive reaction. Remember, this is not issue, conflict or even western “‘dim’ocracy” specific issue; this is across the board hence the […]
