Puppet Masters
Introduction In this complex web of global politics, this idea that the world leaders are actually puppets moving to unseen forces is not some sort of conspiracy theory but fact. The story details real examples of leaders whose agendas are really controlled by party apparatchiks, corporate interests, and special lobby groups, explaining how endemic the corruption is and just how hard making independent decisions really is.

Government Violence Against Peaceful Protesters in Sri Lanka
I shared with you two months ago that I finally published my first memoir - Feelings of Unreality. I hope to inspire interest and sales by sharing with you some quotes from the book… so far sales have been slow (as expected) and not exactly enough to feed me yet. I need that to change!

Runners and Riders to Replace Wishy-Washy-Rishi.. Content Warning.
The Conservative Party is reeling from the cataclysmic loss it suffered in the UK general election. Many 'Big Beasts' as the media likes to call them have lost their seats. Liz Truss, former Prime Minister has been ousted, likewise, Jacob Rees-Mogg is an MP, no more. Grant Shapps has also lost His seat. Penny Mordaunt who was tipped to replace Rishi Sunak has also been voted out of office. The massive 80% majority Bojo Johnson (the clown) won in 2019 has evaporated like vapour. The amount of Tory MPs left is 121, even worse than their wipeout in 1997 when Tony Blair came to power.

Observations On Labour's Victory. Top Story - July 2024.
Introduction In the UK on election day we finally saw the decimation of a party that has destroyed the infrastructure of this country, used the taxpayer to line its pockets, continually attacked and bullied the sick, the poor, and ethnic nationalities, promoted xenophobia, and hopefully, the Labour Party can start to repair the absolute mess left by the right-wing incompetent criminals also know as the conservatives (with the accent on CON) and the tories.

Hezbollah Lob Rockets into Israel.. Content Warning.
Since the Hamas-Israel war kicked off on October 7, Israel has also been exchanging fire with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israel retaliated for the Hamas attack killing 1,300 Israelis. Also, of kidnapped Israeli citizens, many of whom have been killed (by either side) or rescued, while some are still held prisoner in Gaza. Israel has bombed the hell out of Gaza. Killing Hamas fighters yes, though Hamas remains a potent force after 7 months of fighting. Thousands of dead Gazan civilians lie under the rubble of bombed towns, schools, churches, mosques, hospitals, etc. On top of that, thousands of Gazans are dead or injured above the rubble. Israel has also lost soldiers in combat and many more wounded.

Oliver Dowden: Russian Interference!. Content Warning.
We all remember the alleged interference in the American Presidential elections alleged by Trump's enemies. That may have helped Trump to come to power. How could Russia interfere in an election and achieve its aims? Use social media, Russian agents residing in that foreign country to big up the party or candidate they back, Russian use of bots or AI, etc.

The Call to Action: Why the World Has to Stand by Ukraine
At the very core of Eastern Europe, a struggle rages that transcends across borders and ideologies. Ukraine is an independent country with an aspiration to be democratic, severely under attack and harrowing intimidation from its formidable neighbor, Russia. This conflict does not concern municipal disputes or political differences; rather, it is a frontline struggle for freedom, sovereignty, and global stability. With the world as witness, the stakes are quite plain: if we allow Ukraine to fall, Russia's ambitions will not end there. It will have far-reaching repercussions, threatening the peace and security of the entire world.

I think I may have to vote
I wasn't upset when they told me that I couldn't vote anymore. I didn't want to go through the red tape to reinstate my voting privilege. I figured there's no way to ever vote for the right person, and I don't trust the voting system anyway. I've had my opinions about my country, the structure, principles, constitution, legislation, and history. I've been watching things change since the Reagan administration. I could recap all the follies of every Presidency I've endured since 1971. But I won't waste your time with my skewed historical summary. Instead, I will just say that of the three "taboos" (sex, religion, and politics) Americans seem quite satisfied taking on religion and politics, but they are still the most hush hush and hypocritical when it comes to sex.
