Knight for a rook? McNamara on playing dice or chess with nuclear war. At one point in an interview with Fidel Castro, McNamara said that if Castro had launched missiles against Washington, the US would have blasted Cuba off the face of the earth. McNamara looked at Fidel as if Fidel had lost his mind. But who is mad here? At the end of this exchange Washington DC would be completely destroyed as would be Cuba. From an American…
Two can dance to suicide. Scott has got his nuclear threat all wrong! First of all, McNamara interviewed Castro before his death. McNamara asked Fidel what he would have done if the US had bombed the missile sites. Castro confirmed that the missiles were nuclear armed and loaded and he would have been launched on notice of the attack. McNamara said if Cuba had nuked Washington the US would have blasted Cuba off the face of the earth. Castro…
Are Mandelson’s versions truthful? Mandelson is said to have forwarded emails to Epstein while at a Cabinet Meeting in No.10.( https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz9vz8d0n85o )There have been suggestions that the government is unable to trace these emails because they were sent on Mandelson’s private email.There appears to be some deep spin going on here. Firstly, that any and all electronic communication from and within No 10 are not closely monitored is beyond belief. It is customary to sandbox important meeting rooms such…
‘Discovering other’s secrets can be a deadly failing.’ – ancient Chinese saying There is a major matter which Western analysts are not taking into account. All major analysts appear to treat Russia and China as unconnected parties. At least at the level of theory, one would expect some to consider the possibility that China and Russia are conducting a joint or collective war. Both Russia and China consider themselves potential war targets, with the US wishing to take on…

https://share.google/3epBeWKE9XaHWkPaw There is an allegation that members of the inner circle to Prime Minister Netanyahu were being paid by a foreign power (Qatar ) while working for Netanyahu. This has even been called treason. “Former prime minister Naftali Bennett called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign on Monday, accusing him of engaging in the cover-up of the Qatargate affair, which Bennett called “the most serious act of treason in Israeli history.” ( https://www.timesofisrael.com/bennett-qatargate-is-most-serious-act-of-treason-in-israeli-history-pm-must-resign/ ) So the question arises: …
On 10 September Charlie Kirk was killed. Many commentators noted that Kirk was beginning to change his views on Israel and was loosing his unqualified support for Israel’s activities in Gaza. He himself expressed great reservations about his previous support for Israel. There will be many days of review and investigation about the suspect, Tyler Robinson. Was he a lone gunman or was he encouraged by others? Larry Johnson asked whether the Zionist worked with Tyler Robinson to provoke…
At an ISSE (International Society for the Study of Egyptomania) a presentation by Arab scholars was made that merged Arab and ancient Egyptian society . An academic objection was raised that this was an example of cultural appropriation and cultural genocide. This objection was censored on the grounds that it might be found ’offensive’ by the speaker. So a presentation that supports cultural appropriation and cultural genocide is not itself ‘offensive’ but anyone criticising it in a purely academic…
‘Stultum facit Fortuna quem vult perdere’ Fortune makes a fool of him whom she would ruin. Publilius Syrus 1 There is a fundamental problem with Western academic economic theory which reveals a fundamental problem with Western intellectual theory and academia. It is not just political and economic hegemony that the US had, but also academic and intellectual hegemony. Let us look more closely at the tariff issue as an example of this collapse. We have three countries, A,B, and…
Obama’s behaviour as President is often hard for many people to understand. They think of Obama as someone elected as a change agent and who let everyone down. However when it comes to understanding his motivation no real explanation is given. Obama can be understood better if one appreciates that what motivated him was a deep desire not be the LAST Black President of the US. While everyone was celebrating the FIRST Black President Obama wanted to conduct his…
