Scott Ritter lays it out - and then some!

"Donald Trump has done more in one month than anyone has ever done in any peace negotiations in the history of modern warfare"

Whether we think he did a good job or a bad job will depend upon our view of the objectives, Trump's stated objective being to end the pointless slaughter.

Recent years have demonstrated that short of starting WW3, Ukraine+NATO/EU will not hold the Russian advance, let alone push them back behind their erstwhile boundaries.

Many won't like that, but would we like WW3 any better?

Yanis Varoufakis, economist, author of very accessible books, self-proclaimed leftist and scourge of the EU at the time of the Greek "bail-out", and now apparently a Professor, (and virtually the only "leftist" that I rate very highly for his logical analysis and ability to get to the real nub of political problems) explains the current state of Trump's relationship with Europe.

Oh, and the workings of Chinese municipal government! Maybe we should be wondering how our own new political system should look, once our current failing systems have collapsed.

Very informative.

We note with sadness the passing of Arthur Firstenberg, author of The Invisible Rainbow and The Earth and I, also the force behind Cellular Phone Task Force.

I learned a great deal from his masterful history of the development of electricity / electronics / electromagnetic radiation over the last two centuries, and its consequent effects on the Earth and the environment - I don't suppose he totally avoided all misinterpretations of the evidence, but he paints a very broad and convincing picture.

Every bookshelf should have one.

Children's Health Defence mark the occasion.

With "renewables" leading to ever higher energy costs, nuclear still regarded with some suspicion (and SMRs not yet rolling off the production lines in volume), government-backed mega power-stations seemingly permanently mired in the paralysis of analysis and the perils of politicking, and of course fracking being sent packing, some think that old king coal is poised to make a come-back.

Yes, there are obvious problems with that, but there's problems with everything just now - and just how are all these wonderful new but power-gobbling AI data-centres going to be powered?

"It's a massive coal boom in China ... "

What happens when the UN's "Sustainable Development Goals" turn out to be unsustainable in short order?

Read the story of Sri Lanka.

And how our fearless media reported it.

There but for the Grace of God go we all.
