  • NELSON’S CONVENIENT EYE WON’T WORK 24 April 2026
    In 1801, British Admiral Lord Nelson boldly put a telescope to his blind eye to ignore an order. It spawned the phrase ”turning a blind eye”, and resulted in an epic victory. Today, what’s also known as “a Nelson eye“ is a craven act, regenerating epic disasters. While the eyes of the world have been […]
  • DIVINE RIGHT IS A PROBLEM NOT A PANACEA 17 April 2026
    History is replete with incontrovertible evidence that nothing is more inimical to peace than self-professed true believers. So if  déjà vu isn’t  your favourite sensation, it’s time for even atheists to say God spare us from them. Please. Unless it’s simply a crass marketing ploy to sell more Bibles with his name on them, President […]
  • COSTS AND LESSONS: IRAN VS ARTEMIS 3 April 2026
    The look at the dark side of the moon from Artemis II will not briefly unite humanity the way “one small step for a man” did. But it will offer a measure of the forces that have riven us from that brief awareness of what humans can accomplish. Setbacks and problems large and niggly tested […]
  • MENDACITY’S MALEVOLENT MESS 27 March 2026
    Sir Winston Churchill avowed that “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on;” The lies, misrepresentations and fantasies Donald Trump spouts and texts, go all around the world only slightly quicker than contradictory ones follow. It is repetitively obvious that taking the man at his […]
  • VICTORY IN IRAN IS A FUTILE FANTASY 20 March 2026
    Almost exactly five years ago, the first post on this site included the quote:.“ And so, to the end of history, murder shall breed murder, always in the name of right and honour and peace, until the gods are tired of blood and create a race that can understand.”… Read the rest The post VICTORY […]
  • LIES MAY CLEAR THE FOG OF WAR IN IRAN 13 March 2026
    The idiom “fog of war” to describe the uncertainty and confusion generated by the chaos of battle was spawned by 19th century cannon and cavalry clashes. Vengefulness and historical ignorance are turning the fog of the high tech Iran war opaque. A week into the conflict, Trump said he would be happy if Iran ended […]
  • A KING, A GENIUS AND THE IRAN WAR 6 March 2026
    In 1970, a Moody Blues song asked why we never get an answer “…/to a thousand millions questions/about hate and death and war.” In the case of the war in Iran, it’s because no one seems willing or able to articulate one. To be generous to President Donald Trump, he seems to be channelling Shakespeare’s […]
  • THE MYTH AND COST OF WAR AS POLICY 27 February 2026
    On  a philosophical  level, crying havoc and letting slip the U.S. “armada” deployed against Iran would be the embodiment of Prussian General  Carl von Clauswitz’ reflection that “War is a mere continuation of policy by other means.” On a realistic level, it is a continuation of policy based on ego and ignorance.… Read the rest […]
  • WHEN THE REAL NEWS ISN’T WHAT’S NEWS 20 February 2026
    It has become a sad truth that headlines, shouts of “Breaking News” and screen crawls deliver just enough news to make it appear to all but the most curious that a story has been told, thereby leaving the bitter vetch they herald untasted. Grandiose schemes without substance hold center stage while suffering and pomposity grind […]
  • THE LEAST WORSE CHOICE PODIUM 13 February 2026
    In a week where excellence was defined by gold, silver and bronze, the race for the maintaining sanity podium was rage, merely quaking with righteous indignation, or taking refuge in a state of amusement. To begin with the latter, President Donald Trump threatened to delay the opening of a new bridge between Detroit and Windsor […]
