An essay about the possibility of a 'Manchurian' team

By now I'm tempted to accept the possibility that NATO is doing it on purpose. That they are into the business of proving to the world what a useless lot they are. Jens Stoltenberg actually said, during a press conference, that the Russians went to war because NATO kept expanding, inching closer to …

An essay on how we got here

In our part of the world, rampant fraud is the name of the game. Moral and financial fraud are everywhere. People lie, even if they stand to lose 'Big Time' when others believe them. Why? What caused this shift? At what moment in time did we begin to approach our everyday life as a freak 'Poker Game

An essay about some very dumb witted Canadians

You cannot make this up. The speaker of the Canadian parliament brought an actual surviving Nazi from a volunteer group, who fought against the Russians, on the side of Hitler, into the House, and turned him into a hero. That is bad enough, I'd say. But not a single delegate objected. Instead they A…

An essay about being our own worst enemy

We have met the enemy, and he is us. Twentieth Century Schizoid Man. The first observation 'went viral' because of a Pogo-cartoon, and it was the band King Crimson which sang about our schizoid brethren at the end of the 'Sixties'. Life is full of threats and opportunities. Every now and then we com…

An essay on hedging bets

Poland cuts Ukraine off. It is not entirely clear why. Formally this is because of 'cheap grain' from Ukraine is spoiling the market, but that doesn't make sense. Ukraine can't force Poland to accept 'cheap grain'. Only the EU can. And it won't. Not any longer, because 'Brussels' got the message tha…

An essay about trouble brewing

The Dutch state-broadcaster 'NOS' had this item about Ukrainian women sheltering in Holland who are 'furious' because numerous countrymen refuse to fight, holding the women company in Holland and elsewhere in Europe. Around ten million Ukrainian citizens left the country for Europe after war broke o…

An essay about things going wrong

While I was away, enjoying a week in Scandinavia with pretty decent weather, forces armed exclusively by NATO kept trying to reach the 'Surovikin-Line', with little or no gain, and huge losses. The 'Retired NATO Generals' plugging this war on behalf of 'Vested Interests' in various 'Talk Shows', 'Ne…

An essay about cutting the crap

Cut the crap. Recently the 'Southfront'-website was made inaccessible by American and European 'Law Enforcement' according to claims in a 'YouTube' video I came across. The reason, apparently, is 'spreading misinformation'. The claim that 'Law Enforcement' was behind it might be true, or not at all,…

An essay about the immediate threats

Even if you tell people like our 'seniors' Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell the 'cold hard facts' about the war in Ukraine, they wouldn't be able to comprehend what it might possibly mean. These people were, somehow, elected, or so they say. By whom? What did the people who voted for them expect? What …

An essay about refusing to do our laundry for us

The German publication ‘Bild’ had this story about Scholz calling Macron, after both spoke to Putin, because Putin never mentioned the sanctions to Scholz. As it turned out, he didn’t bring them up in his talk with Macron either. The only thing Putin was interested in, was bringing this tragedy in…

An essay about the concept of a working thesis

On a blog like this, far removed from decision centers and the battle-ground, it is a struggle to find reliable information. Whenever I appear to be confident, this is merely because confirmed developments and facts support a ‘working thesis’. In *real* science, not the ‘consensus’ version, th…

An essay about people who are a danger to themselves

In this world of ours, we need to deal with the liars, cheaters, and people who steal for a living without fear of getting caught, because they *are* ’The Law’, but also with the funny people. Within the context of this contribution a funny person is not someone who cracks jokes, but a person w…

An essay on the presumed death of Prigozhin

Apparently Prigozhin lost his life when his private jet crashed on a flight from Moscow to St. Petersburg, one day after a video emerged where he claimed to be speaking from Africa, where he said to be engaged in an attempt to ‘grow’ Russia. Not exactly in line with Putin’s doctrine, to say it mil…

An essay on state functions

The front in Ukraine is stationary. And all the fighting is done in the ‘Control Zone’, ahead of the ‘Surovikin-line’ where the Russians are waiting for the Ukrainians to show up, if they manage to pass the ‘Control Zone’ in sufficient numbers. The only town being threatened is Kupyansk, w…

An essay about doing your duty as a leader through following orders

The Dutch caretaker prime minister Mark Rutte, already voted out of office, with elections in November, promised Zelensky F-16’s by the end of the year. Holland has forty-two redundant F-16’s, originally sold to the country to help NATO stop Soviet tanks and armor invading Europe through the ‘

An essay on what is needed to get us out of this mess

The two volume book ‘One Nation Under Blackmail’ is indispensable for anyone who wants to know what brought us here. Those who feel safe and secure will learn that they are being taken for a ride, while those looking for an ‘elite’ cluster ruling over us will discover that such a conspiracy do…

An essay about defining insanity in a Mad Max world

Suppose they gave a war, and nobody came?’ That used to be on T-shirts and posters when I was much younger. An interesting question, which suggests you have a choice. You don’t. In Ukraine all of the top recruitment officers were fired recently, because they took bribes as high as 10.000 Euro’s t…

An essay about a simple question

You ask your question, you get your answer, and that is where the confusion takes off, unless the question was precise, and the answer gave nothing but the facts. I came across an article by a Polish author, writing for a Polish publication, translated from Polish, which claims to give us the low do…

An essay about the battle for the Black Sea

And another proud moment for Ukraine, as it attacked an unarmed civilian oil tanker in the Black Sea which was allegedly on its way to Syria. Apart from defensive strategies for stationary ships and objects as suggested in my article yesterday, this almost begs the Russians to leave their defensive …

An essay about a hit

A single seaborne drone hit a ‘Ropucha’-class landing ship near the port of Novorossiysk, but didn’t sink it. As with this strike on the Kerch bridge, and office buildings in Moscow, the intended effect may be predominantly psychological. Or a miscalculation if the drones used for the bridge and…
