Vladimir Putin and Sergei Lavrov discuss the Navalny case…

Having reported the long, epic ordeal of Julian Assange, John Pilger gave this address outside the Central Criminal Court in London on September 7, as the WikiLeaks Editor’s extradition hearing entered its final stage.

The Atlantic report published this week alleged, citing anonymous sources, that Trump did not want to visit Aisne-Marne American Cemetery because he was worried about his hair, and called fallen American who perished at Belleau Wood in World War II "losers" and "suckers”.

The Federal Government wants to use Australia’s clean energy bank to fund dirty fossil fuel projects. Yes, you read that correctly.

An article by Ad Astra (?) questions the sanity of voters in America. From the comfort of our armchairs, we can comment about the way Trump behaves and mostly imagine his madness, all approved by many Americans who give some credence to "Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting Different Results" by voting for him again.

Please note that Gus isn't inciting to rebellion. Gus is a law-abiding citizen even if the laws are stupid. By now we should know that protesting in the streets is only going to attract police on horseback and flies. Remember that stick and stones will break your bones... leaving your spirits in tatters...

When the COVID-19 era is finally over, a lot of the infrastructure it has made obsolete will have to rebuilt, with very little money. As ever, we will be treated to dreams rather than substance. We will be told to forget about the small print and concentrate on the big picture, i.e. the ones the politicians want us to hear. 

In his book Earth is Room Enough, Asimov indulges in the to be or not to be concept... In this story, The Last Trump, Things are not like they seem to be...

"... we're all dead aren't we? The world's come to an end, hasn't it?"

"But you've been declared legally dead and I haven't."

"Oh, we'll change that, son. There are going to be more of us than of you and votes count."

By the end, we are made aware that time is thus immaterial because the date of The Last Trump is wrong or not...
