John Fitzpatrick. About New China, the Koreas, Myanmar, Thailand, and also about Japanese and Chinese writers and poets. The main emphasis is on North Asia and the political tectonics of this very important, powerful, and many-peopled area.

Watched Star Trek Beyond overnight. It's rubbish, much like the new JK Rowlings new film and the last Star wars film blockbuster. I fell asleep watching it. This whole fascination with CGI, aka 'fizzy things', and the dependence upon action rather than plot or character, and the dependence upon viewers having ADHD and an incredibly short attention span means that it is all basically, just another car chase scene.

Poem: Perfect
Poem: "Perfect".
by John Fitzpatrick 26 November 2016
Time is short time is sweet
time is everyone you meet
in the world or in the earth
there's taking life or giving birth
and so you work out best you can
how best to do your perfect plan.
Interesting studying Balwyn Victoria, our next suburbia...there is a street some way along the road from us truly named Lucifer Street. A house in Lucifer Street recently sold for 2 million dollars. If its in easy walking distance we will try to do some jogging up and down it at night. Lucifer Street? I wonder who lives at 6/66... The only other Lucifer St I know of is Lucifer St, Pattaya...Thailand, also known as Walking Street, but officially the real name of it is Lucifer St....and it is understandable why it is called Lucifer St and also why they prefer to call it Walking St for the tourists....when in fact, it is absolutely Lucifer Street.

Noting CNNs coverage of the attack on Mosul, in Iraq...the Govt has decided not to give out any information regarding citizen deaths at this time...but it is a good war with good bombs to defeat bad Islamic Terrorists. Meanwhile they note the terrible impact of the Syrian Govt bombing of Aleppo with bad bombs in pursuit of defeating bad Islamic terrorists...
Re USA/NK Presidents...both Kim Jung Un, at 27, and Donald Trump, at 71, are well known to be equally very thin skinned and to take personal insults very seriously. Trump attacks his enemies in the media, whereas Kim Jung UN puts them 10 metres in front of an anti-aircraft missile, and fires it through them. Neither is afraid to risk everything, yet both are quite and equally bright and most interested in their own survival. We will see who is the first to seek dialogue. I expect Kim Jung Un will outlive many US Presidents.
