is.gd/3H0KKJAbout three weeks ago I was traveling through the brousse of a third-world country and stooped for lunch at a roadside 'warung'. I found myself enjoying a leg of grain-fed roast chicken, served up in all its bone and fibre, when a tooth got a superficial crack.The tooth had been root-canalled back in Europe, the root was ok not cracked. and a local dentist did a crown and all is now fine after treatment identical to any you'd get in the UK.Except it wasn't. The root canal cost £1,000 in Ealing and a crown would have cost the same....

WAR IN EUROPE OR A NEW SECURITY ARCHITECTURE
11 July 2023
Finland and Sweden joining NATO is good news for investors in American arms manufacturers and NATO, bad news for Finland and Sweden's taxpayers, and otherwise seems to be unnecessary unless you think Russia is planning to zip up its Western frontier this side of Eastern Europe ie back to pre 1991.Doubtless the Americans helped along the collapse of the Soviet Union in many ways, not least by promising Gorbachez and Yeltsin...

THE WAR TO END ALL WARS CAN STILL BE AVOIDED
10 July 2023
While the Nasties are in power in Kiev, Ukraine cannot join NATO. This is because they will continue to rag Russia for Crimea and the Donbas, Russia will respond, then the regime in Kiev will call in NATO under art.5.Before you know it, NATO - which means America - will be at war with Russia. It won't be a proxy war anymore, it'll be WW3 (like Biden said at the start), it'll be two superpowers fighting each other in Ukraine...

PLAYING DIRTY
8 July 2023https://youtu.be/06Ytz9vGyBY
It's ok to want to be number one, but it's how you get there, it's your values, that matter.Power is a result of your population, your people with their skills and ambitions; and with the wealth base that you have built up which includes your infrastructure, your technology, your knowledge.
In its race to be number one America has cheated. It's not really the best man that is winning,...

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE UK ECONOMY - PT II
7 July 2023I visited S Africa not so long ago, twice in fact. I traveled along the Garden Route from Cape Town to Durban, and then up the middlt to Jo'burg. So to get an idea of the UK economy, as lived by ordinary people, let's compare the two countries.The UK is a poor country, compared with the top EU countries, but it has a strong currency and an enormous wealth of soft power and influence on the world stage.Now of course there are poor neighbourhoods...
WHAT WILL ZELINSKY DO WHEN HE SEES THAT THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING FOR HIM?
7 July 2023https://youtu.be/EKAsY3QczIA
What will Zelinsky and The West do when the Ykrainian offensive patently fails after running out of army, machines and munitions?What will Zelinsky and The West do when they see Russia's million-man-army heading their way to the Polish border?When Zelinsky sees the Russians coming, he'll scurry to the Polish for protection and ask for Kiev to be incorporated back into Poland. Will the Russians accept...

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE UK ECONOMY - PT 1
What concerns ordinary people, and therefore politicians, about the economy at the moment is inflation and mortgage interest rates. What they want in general is financial stability, economic growth and social peace.While governments dream up tax and spend programs, central banks are supposed to keep the economy ship-shape as concerns stable prices for consumers, employment and productivity for producers, and currency exchange rate and...

RUSSIA CLEANS UP AFTER THE COMMUNISTS
1 July 2023
https://youtu.be/Ddc1ix_9MIIAt tremendously high speed, this guy Max Blumenthal sums up just about every crit made of Biden's war on Russia.But is anyone listening?The military industrial gov elite are visibly corrupt and self serving, but the electorate seem to be jaded and accepting. There are countless videos and articles on the decline of infrastructure in the USA, of the poverty in USA cities, homelessness, drugs,...
WEATHER IN BALI
1 July 2023
Bali is year-round warm and humid, as it's a tropical island just south of the equator. Ubud is inland and very green and a bit cooler at night, around 29°C and for me 20° as A/c is on ha ha.Higher up or further North you go, the cooler it gets. Kintamani, Mount Batur, climbing the Campuhan Ridge before sunrise...all ok (I don't walk in the dark, nay nay). This morning, I was halfway up the Ridge, it was around half six, what...
WHERE ARE THOSE OF GOOD FAITH?
01 July 2023
Over half of Ukrainians have lost on average three members of their family or friends dead in this conflict. Dead.Ukraine will never in the distant forseeable future ever join neither NATO nor the EU.The Ukrainian army is being finished off and the govt in Kiev will likely succumb to a popular vote and be replaced by one more willing to recognise the "rights" of its Russian citizenship and the benefits of neutrality.Ukraine...
