Whether we’re talking regional conflicts or climate change one can anticipate that we are heading for decades of mass human displacement due to economic devastations from these factors not to mention the human cost alone. It is kind of strange that when we read about UN COP conferences or others […]

Environment: Transforming Construction to Deal with Extreme Weather Conditions
A very interesting, important and quite relevant report. I can only add the name of a famous Egyptian architect who pioneered traditional mud construction as opposed to western building designs, material & layouts. You can read about him here; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hassan_Fathy The driving point is that we need to adapt not only […]
Read MoreDealing with Climate Change; “The Australian Way”
Australian PM Scott Morrison wrote in a newspaper column on Tuesday in addressing criticism of his pledge for Australia to reach net zero emissions by 2050; “We won’t be lectured by others who do not understand Australia. The Australian Way is all about how you do it, and not if […]
Read MorePrince Charles Reveals His New Terra Carta Initiative & A Lesson In Timing
Now this will be short/sweet cause this is not a post about the detailed assessment of the proposition. At the face of it this may well be an interesting initiative – though the idea of having businesses contribute more effectively towards environmental causes is NOT a new one – so […]

Read MoreA New Pragmatic Way To Think About Healthcare
I know what you’re thinking; Fidelito talking healthcare is a bridge much too far to us cross, but bear with me for a moment. Here I’m merely suggesting a concept NOT going into technical details about healthcare. The reason I began to think about this is watching a program on […]
Read MoreWith UK’s COVID-19 Spike Reaching New Highs We Need New Ideas To Help Maximise Vaccination Numbers; Here’s One!
First let me point out as a non-health expert but I’m merely putting out a suggestion in the hope that it may be useful – at least in some situations which is this; having house-to-house vaccinations within local neighbourhoods based on information about age groups of residents and to make […]
Read MoreBritains U-GOV Is Playing BREXIT Politics With The COVID-19 Pandemic
BREXIT Politics of play-as-you-go continues thanks to the total morons running the country; now rather than playing with the country’s future they decided to keep busy by putting peoples lives at risk. From the concept of pick & mix vaccines to one the promotes the 1 instead of the prescribed […]
Read MoreBREXIT Britain – Let’s Party
OK, right off the bat – though I’m no baseball player as some may already know – let me just say I’m not talking about having an actual party of course; not with the pandemic in the background (rather in the foreground) and social distancing and all. So no…..ahhhh…no no […]

Britains U-GOV Under Pressure on U-Responses to COVID-19/An Appeal to the EU Another major spike hits Britain hard with over 53000 new cases in 24 hours thanks to a sham / incompetent individuals running the country.

Finally a BREXIT deal has been struck between the EU & the UK. I for one will be truly scrutinising the hell out of it cause I’m not too keen on the bj theatrics/spin coming out of the mouth of the mysterious occupant at No. 10 Downing Street (which precise […]
Read MoreThe Pandemic of Disinformation Where The Human Cost Is Yet To Be Assessed/Counted
Disinformation has now infected all forms our information ecosystem/media and the reasons are clear; It is a tool that is being weaponized by unscrupulous leaders/power brokers to defend false narratives to achieve political and/or financial gains There is very little in the way of clear/consistent regulations/legal ramifications to control the […]
Read MoreThe Prince of Wales Pays Tribute to The Armed Forces Twice in the Span of 1 month – Odd…
While there is absolutely no doubt about the contributions of the armed forces particularly in their efforts at home/abroad in responding to the pandemic and keeping us secure, I find it peculiar for the Prince of Wales to dedicate 2 speeches in paying tribute to the armed forces rather than […]
Read MoreCOVID 19: Señor ‘U’oris ‘U’onson (sometimes referred to as ‘boris johnson’ or ‘pint pal’ if you like) Is Unsurprisingly Making an Utter Mess of UK’s COVID-19 Response
As usual Señor ‘U’onson and his incompetent team of political hacks make a mess in responding to the new COVID-19 strain in a way that isolates the UK entirely from Europe and many other countries; why jump the gun, it’s coming naturally in January 2021 just wait for it naturally… The […]

Read MoreCOVID 19: The Spanish Government Triggers a Curfew Mania – Now that Makes A Lot of Nonsense!??
It seems the Spanish government is running out of ideas in fighting the COVID spike so they finally came up with an unintelligible brainstorm concept (or more like a result from a storm in the brain so to speak). They are now considering introducing a state of emergency to implement […]
Read MoreCOVID 19: A Second Wave is Upon Us, So Where to Go from Here?
We seem to be facing a 2nd wave of COVID outbreak in Europe and every government seems to be struggling to come out with answers because of the delicate balance between Life & Politics!!. I’ve written before about this pandemic on this site so will not rehash my views. The […]

The main reason I am writing this specific post on the COVID 19 pandemic is as a reaction to 2 specific things; The alarming spikes in infection in France and Europe in general Having watched last night a program on France24 (English) about the crisis we face today in managing […]
Read MoreBelgian PM shamed by medics as they turn their backs on her in protest of her handling of the pandemic
A truly amazing/inspiring site of how activism can be applied in a civilized yet effective manner even in the workplace to shame politicians when they fail miserably in performing their duties and/or when they make controversial statements. Activism as I mentioned in a previous post should be an integral part […]
Read MorePresidential Sanity Eclipses Yet Contrasts Presidential Insanity
It was absolutely great – as usual – to finally listen to some wise words of former President Obama in this Virtual Commencement Speech To Class of 2020. Truly feels reassuring/comforting for many Americans and non Americans alike such as myself that there are still sane people in politics. If […]
Read MoreThe COVID-19 Pandemic: The British Government Does NOT Project Confidence at Any Level
Yesterday I was listening to the government briefing about the virus and I have to tell you non of the team projects any confidence whatsoever. Come to think of it how could the team that started off late in facing up to this pandemic – costing thousands of lives in […]
Read MoreThe COVID-19 Pandemic: How Germany Got It Right
A very interesting interview that I thought to share with Jens Spahn, Germany’s health minister explaining how Germany so far has managed to keep mortality rate from the Coronoavirus so low – hopefully this will continue to get even lower. The take away I believe are 3 strongly linked elements; […]
Read MoreThe COVID-19 Pandemic: A Personal Appeal to World Leaders; Please Start Coordination on Plans to Incrementally Open Up World Economy
As I mentioned in many previous posts a global pandemic – particularly one likely to stay with us for some time – needs a global response both in terms of R&D to develop immunization/medication as well as protections. Many countries now are considering removing restrictions and incrementally opening up their […]
Read MoreThe Main Takeaway of the COVID-19 Pandemic (in 6 lines)…short enough for you?
Here it is pure simple and with no further comments; We’re being blindsided unintentionally (and intentionally in many cases) about the real threats that we face by threats power brokers fabricate for political and/or ideological reasons. The net effect is that we are more vulnerable than ever when our efforts/resources […]
Read MoreThe Wake-up Call that Came and Went
It is quite chilling listening to Bill Gates in TED Talk 2015 warning about the likelihood of a pandemic and how ill prepared we are to face it. Yet no stone was turned. The reason for lack of action in my opinion is pretty simple and I hope people begin […]
Read MoreCOVID-19 Pandemic: Plenty of Lessons in the Pot

A great clip my Danish MP Ida Auken explaining to Covfefe in simple terms the concept of Climate Change. It is merely a crash course of course and may NOT actually end up getting him credits but it can at least help him get started on the subject. The problem […]

A damming report that delivers a startling facts about the loss of Earth’s natural life and the level of environmental degradation we all face in this and age. We have to understand that this is not a political left vs. right issue – it never was and never will be […]
Read MoreTechnology & Communication: Striking the Right Balance
I came across this very interesting Youtube clip about how communication/technology has transformed our lives in ways that are far from positive. It’s NOT that this is because technology is bad necessarily but rather how we apply – or rather should apply it – in a controlled/common sense manner when […]

All I can say is well done President Macron! A clear message/commitment by France representing signatories to the Paris accord and delivered in the most effective way possible NOT to Trump but directly to the American people-in pure English; this should be the approach to be followed where possible on critical policy […]
