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.

The attainment of human economic wealth is based upon 3 factors that never change: 1: You inherit it. 2: You steal it. 3: You marry it. there are other very infrequent happenings, for sure, but they are far too insignificant to even be worthy of analysis. This is one reason why, to me, the 'notion' of 'choices' come up so often in our present day-dream. Do we really have these choices? Really? Is a Gambian at 3 or 33 making choices or are they simply doing what they have to do? Is an Australian from Aurukun or Parramatta really ever making choices? I'd be interested in hearing views on this as 'choices' seems to be one of the more prevalent of our current fallacies about life.

My three favourite philosophical phrases I'm trying to perfect in my reasonably brief lifetime: 1: It doesn't matter. 2: It does matter. 3: That's it! I think that if you can get a good handle on those 3, well, that's it!

Australia Poem
AUSTRALIA 2017
Girt by Sea
this island made
in fact for me
and not for those who were
nor for those who'll be...
this nation,
girt entirely
by me
in my surplus
obese
entirety.
The worried well are worried and well now none of us are going to hell and so they teach their kids their truth and seek for sooth, for sooth, for sooth. The worry-less world it rolls along an occasional punch, an occasional song and thus defines this best address ah, welcome home, forgive the mess.
OPTION ONE: I think basically that the separated whole of Korea does need to be whole again, as countries do seem to need to be whole again, and it can only be whole when other countries leave it alone to work out its issues. OPTION TWO: The next best alternative is for the North to be subsumed into China as a province. At least this would deal with the poverty issues of the North...and set that new Province on the China industrial road to a much better life. These people are, in fact, Manchurian anyway. The whole North of China, Korea, and even parts of Russia, are Manchurian. Maybe it is about time the Manchurians took control of their own nuclear weapons, wealth, and massive resources...and looked at Japan, seriously, and with due prejudice to right old wrongs in the North of Asia.
"If North Korea was attacked by the US, then China and Russia would both be in Pyongyang well before the American troops could be there...and then there would be a massive almighty world war fist fuck for control of the most strategically and economically important place on earth......and no one wants that...so Kim Jong Un is a far better alternative. Any solution must not involve Japan, a country most hated by both North and South Koreans en masse, and for good reason".
