Bin Laden Won He won and the US warmasters are celebrating. Imagine rejoicing after a government falls to the descendants of Al-Qaeda. We don’t have to because the Washington gang are doing just that. The Islamo-Fascist Jihadis who terrorised the minds of the West for decades are again ‘moderate rebels’. In the twenty-odd years since the 2001 attacks, the US has found and re-discovered other enemies. North Korea has always been there to hate and fear. After the attacks, it was Russia who offered bases and support. But they are the (Soviet) Bear again. The invasion of Afghanistan would not...

I could hear it, the snarling struggle to live as deformed nostrils fought for each breath. A snarl of liquid flesh flapping about, then a mild grow. Such a process just for an intake of air. The weather was not too hot though it’s tongue dragged from it’s mouth. Drool and the essence of life leaving it with each and every desperate breathe. Four short legs barely carrying it’s barrel chested frame. Tied to a leash, as a human owner dragged it across the grass. Usually it was carried. Any walk over a short distance, simply too far. Too much. “Oh, isn’t he cute.” “I want one! So adorable.”...

She was only ten years of age. A girl. A daughter. Innocent. Tala Abu Ajwa was roller skating in early September when Israeli government missiles took her life, along with several other civilians. The image of Tala’s pink roller skates still attached to her young body should haunt us. Remind us that war is evil. But she died weeks ago, the cycle has moved on. Many more have died, she is less relevant to outsiders than Katty Perry’s backpack kid. Apparently for many, less relevant as well. Earlier this year we heard a small girl weep, “I miss bread.” Another had her little body pulled from a...

Just think about this, whatever your child or your niece, nephew and some strangers kids are feeding their eyes with is likely attached to a clown or maybe a cynical conglomerate that knows social media and children fed algorithms will make them rich. Those little eyes looking for comfort, or simplistic entertainment and viral content are creating the future millionaires, perhaps billionaires given inflation. In the past television had dedicated time spots and channels for children, then the internet and the many devices gave us access to so much media that ignorance should be impossible....

Netflix put on its first boxing event, it’s content was plugged from Squid Games to Cobra Kai and Mike Tyson, 58 years of age, fought Jake Paul, 27 years of age. A battle of nostalgia versus the modern celebrity culture that has used boxing well as a promotion platform, and to show that the combat sports are trapped in an identity miasma. Despite MMA for the past three decades being touted as the ‘fastest growing sport’ and the UFC becoming a brand synonymous with the sport itself, the big money is still in boxing. The more mature sport can still give former MMA stars a better payday inside...

The 11th of November, specifically at 11AM is a sacred time that has taken on a religious observance among the victorious of World War One. A time to officially remember those who died in that war and the many others since, often with the observation of silence for a minute of more. It is when a nation is supposed to fall silent, stand still and dip it’s head for those who died in the service of King, President, Empire Or Government. It is to remember the millions who died in war that ended ancient dynasties and gave rise to new ones, a war that was supposed to be so terrible that it should...
