  • A Merry AUKUS Surprise, Western Australia!

    The secretive Australian government just cannot help itself.  Clamouring and hectoring of other countries and their secret arrangements (who can forget the criticism of the Solomon Islands over its security pact with China for that reason?) the Albanese government is a bit too keen on keeping a lid on things regarding the withering away of […]

  • Troublesome China Bashing

    The front-page headline of the December 11, 2023, Washington Post (WAPO) read, “China’s cyber army is invading critical U.S. services.” The sub-headline, “A utility in Hawaii, a West Coast port and a pipeline are among the victims in the past year, officials say,” impressed upon the reader that the Peoples Republic of China had wriggled […]

  • Flirting With Nuclear Energy Down Under

    It was a policy that was bound to send a shiver through the policymaking community.  The issue of nuclear energy in Australia has always been a contentious one.  Currently, the country hosts a modest nuclear industry, centred on the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), nuclear medicine and laboratory products.  But even this has […]

  • Sovereignty Surrendered: Subordinating Australia’s Defence Industry

    One could earn a tidy sum the number of times the word “sovereignty” has been uttered or mentioned in public statements and briefings by the Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. But such sovereignty has shown itself to be counterfeit.  The net of dependency and control is being increasingly tightened around Australia, be it in terms […]

  • We the Exploited

    We the Exploited

    Americans have become easy prey for hackers, scammers, snitches, spies, and con artists. But don’t be fooled into thinking the government is protecting you. To the contrary, the U.S. government is selling us (or rather, our data) to the highest bidders. By the way, those highest bidders also include America’s political class and the politicians […]

  • Worries from a Major Auto Dealer About All Electric Cars

    Worries from a Major Auto Dealer About All Electric Cars

    John (Jack) Fitzgerald is no ordinary auto dealer. He communicates with consumer advocates. He started in the dealership business in 1956 and presently has 25 Fitzgerald Auto Mall dealerships in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Florida. He knows about automobiles. Mr. Fitzgerald called me in August with worries about electric vehicles. For decades he has seen how […]

  • Rishi Sunak’s AI Pitch: The Bletchley Declaration

    British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak looks as much a deep fake projection as a thin, superficial representation of reality.  His robotic, risible awkwardness makes a previous occupant of his office, Theresa May, look soppily human in comparison.  But at the AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park, the nervous system of code breaking during the Second […]

  • Insurers Can Be Sentinels for Health and Safety

    For nearly thirty-five years, a small nonprofit organization in Washington, D.C. has been having an outsized impact on highway and auto safety. It is Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety and it is funded by a dozen or more property-casualty insurance companies; with a board composed of consumer leaders and insurance company representatives. Its origins […]

  • Resisting Genetically Mutilated Food and the Eco-Modern Nightmare: Together, “Just You and Me”

    Resisting Genetically Mutilated Food and the Eco-Modern Nightmare: Together, “Just You and Me”

    This image is symbolic of everything that is wrong with modern society. A gas leak from Union Carbide’s pesticide plant in Bhopal in 1984 resulted in around 560,000 injured (respiratory problems, eye irritation, etc.), 4,000 severely disabled and 20,000 dead. Not only that, but the pesticides produced at the factory and the model of farming […]
