When the Chickens come Home to roost…

And begin laying their eggs in our backyards – maybe then our politicians (and our men and women in the street) will begin to realize what’s really happening here – but I have my doubts… At least ‘over there’ in Europe they’re talking about it a little more openly now, as the following piece...

The Darkness is gathering...V

Okay, here it is, the last part of Soeren Kern’s piece. So far, the result has been thundering silence, apart from a few welcome voices in the wilderness. Is this boring? Is this of interest only to a historian? Or is it that it’s too far away? Is there a sense of ‘Well, that’s them, it can’t happen... Sign in to see full entry.

The Darkness is gathering...IV

I know you’ve been waiting all day, chewing your nails, smoking one cigarette after another, pacing the floor, screaming at the kids and your significant other – but now, to relieve your unbearable tension, here he finally is...

The Darkness is gathering...III

Here’s the third part of Soeren Kern’s piece. I know it’s tedious...But you know what? It’s just the tip of the iceberg – in reality it’s far worse than this! In due course, once I’ve got my other hand back, I’ll tell you more about it. For now I’ll give you Soeren... In neighboring Belgium, the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Darkness is gathering...II

I know you don’t like to read about all this, it’s not ‘nice’, lol...And although I too like ‘nice’, I’m one of those nasty people who insists on looking at what is happening, whether it’s nice or not – it’s what historians do...lol And unfortunately there’s nothing more important happening than...

The Darkness is gathering...I

I am a bit indisposed, as you know. Today I had to attend the fracture clinic at our hospital, but I shall spare you the gruesome details – let me just say they had to do stuff. At least I always get along extremely well with the nurses and docs, which helps. In the lobby they have these dispensers... Sign in to see full entry.

The Geneva Agreement: Another Bad Mistake...

How bad would fill a book, or at least a lengthy post. But since I am currently slightly damaged and reduced to typing with one hand (I should complain – there were some fabulous one-armed concert pianists, e.g. Paul Wittgenstein, Ludwig’s bro – and I can’t even type with one hand???...

Is The New York Times ‘destroying’ Obama? Part II

This is the second part of Caroline Glick’s excellent piece, after a bit of a delay due to circumstances beyond my control, LOL. You may have noticed that I pose as a question what Caroline asserts as a fact, namely that K.’s piece and hers ‘destroy’ Obama. It isn’t often that I disagree with her,...

Is The New York Times ‘destroying’ Obama? Part I

The few readers of this blog know that I have been deploring, even bemoaning, if you wish, the W.H amateur’s (according to Bill Clinton) incredibly foolish and disastrous foreign policies, especially with respect to the Middle East. I mean even the most fervent of his supporters must cringe at the... Sign in to see full entry.
