Now I know it’s old news but let me add 2 final questions and my own broader conclusion about this matter; So here goes; 1) Was Mr. Jean-Noël Barrot responding in parliament – when announcing his decision – to an accurate representation by Ms. Caroline Yadan of what Ms. Albanese […]

Europe Actively Giving Up on Sovereignty & Values
Ignore the subject matter of the post below entirely for the moment as well the constant/fancy preaching that comes from European heads of state while focusing solely on actions being taken (mostly without any form of public or even parliamentary scrutiny whatsoever) and consider the following; a) these are not […]
Read MoreAnne-Claire Legendre appointed president of the Arab World Institute
A nomination that makes perfect sense on paper; lets hope it makes sense in reality in developing concrete results in a rigid region (resistant to meaningful change) now reaching a boiling point, rather than merely following conventional guidelines. I wish her well in her new role. Cette nomination semble parfaitement […]

A Post about Democracy Democracy’s Major Upgrade – Moving to Democracy 2.0 To Eliminate Political Hijacking
Read MoreFatal Beating in France
Here’s my take as someone who cares about this country; true investigations are ongoing about this disgusting crime but I would suggest that politicians on all sides should take notice of how they maybe stoking violence by their vile statements. In relation to this specific incident and where there is […]

Read MoreFast Tracking Francesca Albanese’s Isolation
I agree with the UN’s response entirely (link below); after all when you don’t have the facts right in terms of what Albanese stated as mentioned above and you’re accepting political interpretation of her statements as a given by someone consistently promoting foreign narratives and with a clear track record […]
Read MoreThe Weekly PMQ Theatrics
Some watch this and consider it Democracy at work while I see it slightly differently; The Hereditary Political Chain that represents an archaic political system unfit for purpose where its mostly about theatrics, personal attacks and children cheering, booing and shouting at each other and banging desks (things not even […]
Read MoreRemembering Yitzhak Rabin
Remembering the man of Peace who inspired the world at a moment where the instigator of his assassination – Benjamin Netenyahu: https://www.timesofisrael.com/ex-shin-bet-heads-accuse-netanyahu-of-lying-about-lead-up-to-rabin-assassination/ is driving the entire region into the abyss. I remember that dark day well/how shocked I was and sending a fax to Israeli embassy to mourn his murder/expressing deep […]
Read MoreThe Epstein Story: Morgan McSweeney resigns as UK PM’s but What Does it Tell you About the Man?
Truly wonderful to see someone taking full responsibility for poor judgement and the wording in this letter here suggests someone with integrity and a clear sense of values; I wish him well. That being said this in no way absolves Keir Starmer’s responsibility in this matter but in fact […]
Read MoreUK Labour Manifesto Promise “Change”
They actually managed to achieve it in quite a short time; a true/solid effective change in “faces”. However things pan out what we’re all effectively encouraging is a change in faces/styles rather than focusing on a change in politics and what our role becomes once we’re post election time. Remember […]
Read MoreRevelations about Noam Chomsky’s Relation with Epstein
No sugar coating it this is truly shocking. I’ve followed, watched and read his books for years and to me – as I’m sure to many others – he’s one character that projected unquestionable integrity; a view shared by people irrespective of their ideology. But here’s a couple of points […]

Right off the bat let me say that Dominique de Villepin is someone I highly respect as a politician with impeccable vision/integrity and I hope through his political activism can help lead us all into a more sane world than the one we’re experiencing today. This is a quite a […]
Read MoreU.S. Meddling into Canadian Affairs: Mark Carney takes the right approach in responding
A couple of brief points; 1) Mark Carney is consistently proving a point I made recently about his premiership in that he is the sole leader that I see as having the right approach, temperament in tackling complex geopolitical issues of this age. Canada under his leadership seems capable in […]
Read Moretrump: A Child To Be Treated Like a Child
Here’s a thought; trump craves for attention particularly ones that distract from his troubles back home. He is in every sense of the word a child (I knew and posted about it the first day he took office in his first term). Reacting to him in any way, shape or […]

Very interesting statements but as usual with PM Meloni, they are statements that raise more questions than answers, and here are a few; How does it make sense to state that on the one hand she absolutely supports International law while at the same time support the Venezuela […]
Read MoreTom Hanks & the “Promised Land”
It seems to me as political layman that the term coined into the American psyche of “Promised Land” is being (and will always be) used to turn America into the “Isolated Island” where U.S. interests largely supersedes interests of other nations around the world irrespective of political ideologies […]
Read MoreNATO Becoming more of a Transactional/Flimsy Alliance
A complex/sophisticated response to a question that wasn’t actually asked can be quite an embarrassing ordeal for any person. Attempting to brush it off by trying to appear clever/cute doesn’t really help much – in fact it makes the situation a whole lot worse in my opinion than […]
Read MoreDoes Europe Know its True Strength (responding to the title of the clip – not interested in content)
Thats’s an easy one; the wests true strength in terms of defensive power is defending against states that cannot match their power in which case they revert to more convenient tactics like the sanctions, blockades and helping “partners” do the dirty work whether or not its is legitimate/guided by […]
Read MoreFixing a Stagnant Democracy Model But Not Particularly Interested in the Clip
I’m completely/utterly tired of the analysis/paralysis phenomenon; in conventional media/social media or any other related platform. Analysis – in my opinion – that is frequently unable to articulate quite a simple problem; politics is broken because its become a proposition to hijack (or seek to hijack) democracy by grandstanding […]

Read MoreVanessa Neumann has something to say on Sovereignty; I just wish she remained quiet on the topic just for the sake of IISS
So the view from Vanessa Neumann is that national sovereignty is not a matter to be considered where criminals – wherever they maybe – are concerned. Now thats an interesting perspective but does it also apply on criminals in the Mideast that have been indicted by the “International” […]
Read MorePM Meloni unique approach in dealing with the US-Greenland matter
A very charismatic Meloni puts forth a different perspective when dealing with the US – Greenland matter; So here are the points; It is unrealistic to consider actions against the US without this being at the detriment of the NATO alliance. (So does this essentially mean that the […]

Plenty of Hot Air but Short on Action: To be honest listening the initial part of the speech it became quite obvious to me that it was going to be another one of those boring ramblings to distract/overcomplicate the narrative as way to create an excuse for inaction so […]
Read MoreThe Clone of Russia in the West: Mexico Takes A Stand (kinda) While Europe & the EU Roll Over:
Well I guess that’s one form alliance (one that comes with a stick). As for the so called “nationalist” governments/trends across Europe they certainly prove a point; they’re purely about racist ideologies focused on culture/immigration and pretty much fall flat in all else relating to national interests or foreign […]

A truly cowardly/disgusting response where International Law is defended only based on who it applies to; where the hell did this guy study law (any form of law). Hey University of Leeds please validate his statements and your academic curriculum if/when you have time. In his first speech as PM […]

Read MoreTrump eyes Greenland; Oh, OK!
And why the hell not; its “Silence of the Lambs” season, ain’t it! A new free-for-all world “order” intricately carved by the “once upon a time” called western alliance.

Nope, this is NOT about tragedies of war but atrocities/genocide committed in the name of war where there is no actual war. Nope, no rocket science just pure common sense/keeping it simple.
