3 August 2025 Shortly the world will go through the mindless commemoration of 80th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9 August. Humans will connect with such a passage of time, by remembering that a 1000 full moons have borne witness in this period. And the Gaza Holocaust is going through its final […]
19 January 2025 As an analyst, this moment we are now seized in, is as rare as they come. It is perhaps a clearest evidence that a Polity that had been at the totem pole for as long as it could remember has suddenly found the ground beneath it shift and yield quite unintentionally overnight […]
