Who profits by this Epstein War? Israel. What is the only country we cannot criticise? Israel.

All Praise and Prayers to the ambulance drivers and paramedics of Palestine and Iran, going out every day...into that. You honour all human beings, forever. I'm so sorry, comrades.

A War on Iran

 Regarding the War on Iran by the USA and little Israel.

1: I think, still, that the USA will, indeed, destroy that country, that human civilisation, totally, except for the Strait of Hormuz. Iranians will never give up control of that, and no one on earth can force them to ever do that. That can't happen. That's just...reason and geography.

2: I think Israel will extend its land mass to include a good chunk of surrounding nations, and Gaza, extending the genocide a lot, to get half way to their plan for A Holy Greater Israel, through ongoing war and horror.

3: To attempt any of this madness, the plans have been with Israel and the USA for a long time. Now they have showed their hand/s. They have never needed a reason that makes sense to the rest of the world. this is why, to most reasonable human beings, it doesn't make sense now, or ever. It's a religious notion. Perhaps the very final one...before we all can start to make sense of our mortality again.

4: The destruction of Iran, nation, culture and civilisation, will be the biggest and most miserable crime humanity has known for many centuries, but it will happen. Everyone, except Israel, will be in long and tragic mourning, and economic despair, recession and depression, for many decades. This includes Europe, the USA and, indeed, Australia. The harm has already commenced.

5: The Strait of Hormuz will remain in Iranian control for another 50 years. That's just...geography.

A war on Iran...it was always a very bad idea to try it, you know. It will never become a good idea. There is no 'up-side'.

I do remember when Australia was a decent country, with good rule of law, compassion for the oppressed, and generally looking forward to a great and even a kind of independent and free future. It's getting very sad now. Kind of dark. ASIO, ASIS,ASD...they had a chance to act decently. They even sometimes did...but now...you may was well add IDF as a title for government decisions. Disgusting. The President of Israel had a private meeting with Australia's 'secret agents' when he dropped in. They didn't even try to arrest him, although his love for and involvement in and attachment to genocide is so damn clear.

Sad.

Australia, its kind of sad

So, we are so far up the rectums/recta? of Donald Trump and Mr Netanyahu, that we welcome the President of Israel to my country, and seek to make laws to make Israel so very even more special.

I've voted Labor for eons now, but the Greens are beginning to look more intelligent and more humanly respectable.

Its getting near time that Ghislaine Maxwell is moved from the Happy Florida Gaol, for deeply held national security terrorist fears, and disappears, much like in a succinct Witness Protection Program, only to turn up in...Israel, or in Scotland, living a quiet, free, and undisturbed pleasant life. The decision will be by the guy who is replacing Pam Bondi as Attorney General...or perhaps it will be her last critically important decision? It's coming up...time is just about up for the big move.

My View of Australia after 72 years. It's appalling.

 My View:

From my 72 years here, I think many Australians always wished to be British, or Irish, and now they simply wish to be Americans.
I think this is just how we are, here, en masse.
Footloose on the edge of Asia, yet never really belonging to or in Asia.
Never belonging because we never wanted to belong to Asia, that's for sure. Also, because Asia never wanted us here, and that's for sure. They don't like us. We do not do fair trade. We seek to be bullies in the Pacific and Asia at the beck and call of our American owners.
Still, we are here and need to make some sense of the time.
We need to make friends in Asia by doing good trade and having generally meaningful relationships with many countries that America doesn't want us to, at all. Geopolitically, they need us in their pocket, very unaligned with anyone else.
What's wrong with Australia having an Alliance with China, India, Indonesia? That's an empowering group.
Would there be anything wrong with Australia kicking out all the American spies and high tech facilities in Pine Gap that do spy on Asia and include spying on us, our phones, our emails etc? Nothing at all. It is our country.
But what would happen?
The Americans would destroy us. We know that. Or so it seems.
Can we ever get back the land in Darwin we offered as a US Military Base? No, we cannot ever get that land back. That is not ours anymore. We cannot even make a decision on that.
I think that Australia could do well, and much better than at present, by steering a more independent course, making up our minds about things and actioning decisions rather than waiting for the USA to tell us who to be and what to think.
It is not a Call for Socialism, it is a Call for Australia to do something for itself and the short and long term real benefit of its own people rather than being an adaptive slave for its 'owners'.
That's my view.

I can't believe that Australia has invited the President of Israel to visit us. Now. Now...Whilst he is President of a State imposing Genocide on a poor, raped, vilified, 'human animal' abused and half destroyed people, because he wants their land. How does that make sense? How can that make sense? Okay, when he arrives, arrest him for war crimes. That makes sense, but anything else doesn't make any sense at all. It's not just anti-Australian, it's anti-human. Why would anyone do that? Why are we doing this? I'm not a strong person, per se, in anyway at all, but this decision to invite that cxnt here as some favoured guest representing Genocide makes me actually stronger as an individual than this country actually is, as a whole country, and so this ,this is a really really strange time.

Sayanara to the Americanese.

 Sayonara to the Americanese.

Well, we are in 'A Period of Transition' now between the two 'major powers'. The USA has done its dash, already, dead broke and toxic, and are, indeed, fading a bit, as is obvious by the increasing rhetoric of how essential they are to everyone and everything forever, when they just aren't. Too much spending, too much debt, too much waste.
At the same time, China is rising and doing very well, thank you very much, and saying very little. And, for China, this is just the beginning of the rise. Give it a hundred or two hundred years to peak before China is fully risen. That's how it goes.
The odd thing about the American Empire is how short it lasted compared with the other empires of the past. About a hundred years. That's Chicken Skin Music in Time. Chicken Skin Music is fun and innovative, for sure, but it doesn't last very long. 100 years, even 200 years at a long dangling twitchy stretch. In real comparison, the USA, that's one shit empire in comparison with any other in our world's long history.
Europe is doing okay, really. The Middle East isn't important. Anymore. South America is a bit ill prepared, and we wont really know Giant Fully Industrialised and Monetised Africa for some time yet...until well after China...but it will arise, in a few hundred years, and,likely, United.
As for Global Warming, well, obviously, it's going to be a very very hot fucking world. Duh.

Sanders and Corbyn/ such a lost opportunity that it beggars belief.

 In terms of two 'medium-ly sort of' moderately developed world 'kind-of' democracies, there were great opportunities for both the UK and the USA in recent times/years.

The USA could have made Bernie Sanders President, and the UK could have made Jeremy Corbyn Prime Minister, but they just... didn't. Bernie was wiped out by the rampant capitalists, and Jeremy by the Jewish lobby.
We know that. And, at best or worse, neither was really a serious Socialists...both were in fact social reformers calling themselves Socialists. Proper, decent folk with great ideas and a love for their countries. They had proposed changes that would be good...that would actually work.
'The People' chose instead what they and the world now have, and that's really, really stupid and awful.
It still makes me sick.
The trouble with actively choosing stupidity is that it always puts you back more years than you think. It's not 4 years, you go back 10 or 20 years. with every election.
Every fucking time.
It's so fucking obvious.
Every fucking time.
Doesn't everyone know that?
By now?
Look!
Surely?
What is so wrong with Human Progress that it makes people so bizarre and sick and dopey all the time when there were real and active choices right there?
That's all gone now.
'Hey, we choose to go backwards! We are not choosing to make things better, we are choosing to fuck everything up!'
Idiots.
Prize idiots.
World Democracies, hey, make better choices, please!
Or is the time up?
I hope not.
Why would one ever want to go and see the UK or the USA?
They are Fucking idiots.
The morons have taken over the liquor store.

Astounding Film

 I think the film that had the greatest meaning for me was called "Coming Home" a movie from China, with subtitle sin English, set in the red days of the Cultural Revolution.

The story of a family of wife husband and daughter, and all that happened to them, and how they survived as a family.

Astounding film.

Electric Vehicles in Australia, Melbourne, Victoria.

 The concern I have with owning an electric vehicle is that at the next Victorian election, the liberals will win and dump a lot of expensive charges on electric car owners, as their policy is to support oil companies. They will also substantially increase electricity charges because that’s just the kind of knuckle dragging reactionary bastards they are.

No matter what we would like, to happen, I think Israel will just run wilfully killing whoever it wants, as many terrified children as they want, drenched in greed and hatred, and will greatly profit from this continuing genocidal horror, and will never be brought to any kind of justice at all. Life is essentially like that...& Israel is absolutely like that.

May the new year embolden you to run free, like wild horses set on fire.

 

That Malaysian Flight ...MH370? you know the one that was accidentally shot down by the US navy and crashed in the South China Sea ... but everyone said it didn't.

 So, you had a passenger plane going from Malaysia to Beijing, and over the South China Sea, it disappeared and then, if you believe the story, it turned around for no reason and went thousands of kilometres away to where there was no aerial surveillance etc...an unknown spot in the unknown Southern Ocean.

So, it disappeared from the most surveilled sky on the planet, to disappear to where no one was looking. I doubt it. I think it was shot down by one of the very many US Navy ships, and by accident, in that area of the South China Sea where the US were fully conducting advanced techno  'ping' operations trying to undo China's internet and defences systems right there. An awful error. 

Within a few days, the guy in charge of the investigation, the Malaysian President, was given, for no reason, about 8 million US dollars from Saudi Arabia, as a personal gift, and within a week the US President arrived in Malaysia and gave the country a brilliant pro-Malaysian trade and defence program. Unasked for.

I would think, using Occam's razor, that the plane was accidentally shot down and then the USA covered up the mess, retrieved the wreckage from the South China Sea...and apologised to China, but it was best that the occurrence was never reported. It would have destabilised the relationship between the US and China.

It is okay to wage war in the Middle East between Israel and neighbours, because that arena doesn't matter any more. As we can see now...but nothing can disturb the delicate peace that stretches from South to North Asia. Nothing. It is far too important. That's the only 'tectonic plate' in the 21st century.

I've had this blog site for a long time but never did much with it. I think I will add more posts this year.

Melbourne Australia January 2026

 Travail:

It's been horrible lately, driving to work. I live 40km from work, out in the West of Melbourne.

For the least few years there has been great work done on the Westgate Tunnel to alleviate the traffic from the great West, but the day they finished the tunnel, which isn't useful to me but could take some of the traffic density away to Docklands and the central City, the Road Works folk start 10 days of working on the Westgate Bridge itself, making 5 lanes into 2 lanes. It's an annual thing they do.

So, the journey that used to take one hour to cover the 40km of freeways now takes about 3 hours. Grinding delays. Then, when cars escape the jams, they crash into each other. Thus more delays.

So, I'm grateful to have tomorrow off as annual leave, the last day of Bridge upgrades. (But what traffic manipulations are next? Who knows. Something is planned, I'm sure)

For a long time now the only difference between Melbourne traffic and Bangkok traffic, is that Bangkok has more Toyotas and Melbourne has more Teslas, but they equally block up the travel corridors. And Australians don't cope well with the savant sinuousness required to get through Bangkok traffic. When the road is clear, here, everyone just crashes into each other.

Melbourne drivers are much better than, say, Queensland drivers, and everyone observe the road laws here (for fear of really unbelievably massive fines), but, if the sign says 100kph, then that's exactly what people drive at, whether there be rain, ice, accidents, fog, anything...they just keep rushing along.

So, I am relieved to have tomorrow off.

All my life, like my Dad, I've loved driving, but no more.

Last week I was in a 5 car crash, in the middle of it, and the car behind, a ute, took out my rear parking and turn lights. This pushed me into the electric Kia in front, and I must admit my iron bull bar did its job and basically destroyed the Kia. I got a migraine and another hours delay. Damage to my ute was a need to replace 2 parking/turning lights, and you can just buy them anywhere for the Ute I have, and cheap.

The old purely mechanical 2015 Nissan Navara 4WD D22 turbo diesel, remains a remarkably strong and capable vehicle. It goes well, doesn't break down, It's strong and stable and boring. It's just a light truck that does well anywhere, and can cross lots of land without any roads with ease, if necessary. The fuel costs are the same as a comparable small Volvo, so not a lot, and servicing is cheap.

Glad to have a Holiday tomorrow. We even washed the truck for the first time in years just the other day. Goes even better now. I will have to check the water and oil and tyre pressure in it one day. It's been a few years.

So, a New Year is on the horizon. This doesn't matter, and yet, at the same time, as we know, everything matters. An important factor for us Darwinian atheists, in our short lives and in our literate homage to Mr Albert Camus, the suavest and coolest smoking existentialist we have known lately, involves making something matter, for ourselves and those we care about. To create Meaning. That's what humans can do. Good laws, good times, good improvements to how things are, for all of us.A better-off society. There are many things that are indeed still getting better. Mostly due to China in terms of alleviating world poverty etc now that everyone else has actually stopped doing that. And to remember Not to hate and be greedy etc, not to wage genocide on anyone, anyone at all. That'd be good. Gosh, wouldn't that be good? That some people actively choose the genocide of poor folk just trying to live on their own land, well, that's awful. They are very sick people who do do that and they must be stopped, and seriously punished, for sure. There used to be laws against genocide, even in our own time. Remember? Remember Human Reason? It had its limits but it was generally a good thing. There was goodness, bright thought, industrious compromise, intense negotiation, etc, and even some kindness to it. I liked Human Reason. I miss it.

I still like the idea of a fortress America, with a huge and high wall all around it. Close the borders in and out. Then give the people there as many high powered guns and drugs as they like, more tv channels, more angst, more disparity, and then just let them make sense of themselves. Less American school kids. That's not a crime. That's benign enhanced human evolution at work in the real world.

Hegseth

 Not judging, just noticing.

Pete Hegseth reminds me of the Damian character from the End of Days type movies, although I don't recall Damien drinking whilst masturbating, and getting the tasks mixed up so much.
