Block ACTA and Stop ACTA! Truly, our freedoms are at stake. While notionally an idea to prevent copyright theft, it’s real purpose opens the floodgates for any undemocratic organisation to walk over our freedoms (such as they are) for which our forefathers slugged their guts out. Read this, then either; walk away (wondering in a [...]

Following on from Ukraine getting it’s gas shut off (which I mentioned in passing as BBC and Weird Pravda Report on Gas), I thought I’d pedantically point out a small error in a statement from Ukraine. It’s meaningless as a point, but does emphasise the tit-for-tat nature of the current impasse with Russia (GazProm). Specifically, [...]

In the news today, although you’d hardly think so because of the Israeli / Palestinian conflict, is the story that the Ukraine can’t pay their gas bills. I apologise for it being a bit buried amongst the profits’ statements etc, but hey!, I didn’t write it. BBC – Gazprom sees profits jump by 85% GazProm [...]

In an interesting twist to the news today, both the UK military, the US military, the Russian military and the Ukrainian military have shown themselves to be totally useless! The UK have had RAF personnel files stolen from a high security base in Gloucestershire! Personnel records stolen from MoD In the current climate, this is [...]

The “news”, Phone taps ‘prove Georgia’s case’ that Georgia’s President Saakashvili has discovered phone tap evidence that “proves” he was trapped or lured into his Invasion of South Ossetia by the Russians would be more credible if it had come out at the beginning of August. But really, I mean; even I, with no Eastern [...]

As a follow up to my earlier post us-nationalises-banks-while-russia-devalues-the-rouble-total-irony pointing out the sharp reversal in political and economic fortunes of the (former) two world superpowers, I remembered something from last month. An American friend decided to post a present for my family here in the UK. I (and then we) ended up having to pay [...]

My previous post, just before I went on a short break, warned that the Olympics might become a side-show in a widening chain of events. This has turned out to be true. My quotation from the Buddhist monk, Nichiren Daishonin, could now really have the word land exchanged for the more relevant world. If the [...]

Today’s little mention on this news item here on The BBC News website about the auction house sale of a key that unlocks the door to the Kaaba, shows, at the beginning and end of the article, the true meaning of religion – certainly in the ones stemming from “Abraham”. It’s states it’s the “12th [...]
