14 December 2020 The fancy is simply revolting. It is clearly a battle not just for the Soul of America but more widely, it is one for the soul of Democracy itself. Why must we look at this overcast sky with fomenting chill winds, precipitating beads of flakes and drops that covers everything with a […]
12 December 2020 American election drama was punctuated with the final results announced and a day called Safe Harbor Day, when apparently the US Congress is supposed to accept the decision of individual states electoral college votes as final or incontrovertible. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/08/us/politics/election-safe-harbor-deadline.html It is as with the US a Congressional law passed after a confusion […]
10 December 2020 It is called the Global Corruption Barometer and the report I have glanced through is a portion called Asia 2020. https://images.transparencycdn.org/images/GCB_Asia_2020_Report_Web_final.pdf In any event this survey conducted just around the time much of Asia was ‘unlocking’ from the Pandemic with skeletal functioning of government offices except for Sri Lanka and Vietnam whose […]
7 December 2020 Part II: Why are we trapped, feeling safe in status quo versus the prospect of better future through reform. Actually I can say the Farm Trilogy is a tragedy because of timing.

He has suspended all truck with truth for much of his Presidency, however, we would see him come around the corner to place the truth in a ‘so what’ context. Now the closest […]
1 December 2020 Barrack Hussein Obama, is many things, but he was not an African as in a Kenyan nor was he a Muslim as in Hussein, he was not quite the African Slave descendent Black, nor was he from the American heartland. In what can be a attribute of greatness to him, he came […]
28 November 2020 There is the usual conversation going about how President Trump is not a regular president when it came to national security matters, how neither does he read the Daily Presidential Brief, nor does he hold sacred stuff that has been Presidential privilege to know. Yet what happened in an innocuous thoroughfare in […]
27 November 2020 We can see how the world has responded as the ‘Black Swan’ event, not the original pandemic, which now China is vehemently trying to deny, using Italian evidence of infections getting traced further backward in time, to the origins of this SARS CoV2 virus which is Wuhan.
