It is 8 years this week since the British government revealed pictures of two Russian men, captured on CCTV in Salisbury six months earlier on the day Sergei and Yulia Skripal were discovered passed out on a bench in the city centre. That it took so long to identify the alleged culprits for their poisoning… Continue reading The Skripal Hoax Revisited.

Australia’s Great Battery Scandal.
Australia was one of the first countries to install a ‘big battery’ into its electricity grid, thanks partly to Elon Musk’s offer – to build a 100 MWh battery in South Australia ‘in 100 days or it’s for free’. South Australia had a heap of solar energy as well as wind power, but little back-up… Continue reading Australia’s Great Battery Scandal.
Kiev changes its tank driver
Symbolic of Ukraine’s descent into a second ‘Maidan’ of violent assaults and fascistic anti-Russian fervour, born of desperation, Vladimir Zelensky has appointed the notorious General Mikhailo Drapatiye as his new defence minister. Depending on which side you stand, his notoriety was either as a hero or a villain, though his tank-driving skills might classify him… Continue reading Kiev changes its tank driver
The Moratorium on Understanding
It is impossible to forget the ‘signature event’ of June 2026, when Donald Trump unexpectedly flew from the G7 summit in Evian les Bains to Versailles, and even more unexpectedly signed up to Iran’s proposed ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ to permanently settle conflict in W Asia. For those who understood what was in the document -… Continue reading The Moratorium on Understanding
Revered – or Reviled?
On the first day of the funeral for Iran’s martyred spiritual leader, when tens of millions of Iranians came to ‘pay their respects’ at the Grand Mosalla mosque in Tehran, SBS’ reporter Liz Maddox had this to say: ..Ayatollah Khamenei, killed in the opening salvo of the US-israeli attack in February, reviled by many Iranians… Continue reading Revered – or Reviled?
Kiev’s Double Act
It isn’t the first time that the Kiev regime has staged a false flag ‘Russian attack’ timed strategically to drive support for NATO’s war on Russia – but possibly the most devious and dirty. Zelensky himself described the double act: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the Russian drone strike that damaged Kyiv’s historic 11th-century Dormition… Continue reading Kiev’s Double Act
Trump’s Kiss of Death
In what appears to have been a final effort to ensure that the comatose ‘peace agreement’ with Iran will never regain consciousness, President Trump just added a game-changing new condition to the US demand list: in order to sign onto the proposed regional peace agreement to end the war on Iran, Arab states supporting the… Continue reading Trump’s Kiss of Death
Persian Gulf; Signing Up or Signing Out.
As I wrote in “Persian Gulf; Departure Point”, no further negotiations or mutual agreements can or will be made between Iran and its opponents. The constant flow of reports on ‘progress’ in talks and even suggestions that an agreement is close bear no relation to the reality, and is being generated by individuals and groups… Continue reading Persian Gulf; Signing Up or Signing Out.
BBC misses the Bridge; Bushra Sheikh finds it.
A month ago I speculated on the possible consequences of the US bombing of the Karaj bridge, an act of international vandalism and spite which could only be described as a war crime, given the bridge was unfinished and with no military significance. While we wait to see if ‘hostilities resume’ – or when they… Continue reading BBC misses the Bridge; Bushra Sheikh finds it.
An Open and Shut Case
In the end it has come down to this – an inability in the American mind to comprehend the most basic of truths about ‘the other’ – being that its assumed exceptionalism amounts to nothing in the mind of Iranians. The leaders of the hegemon simply cannot accept that their presence in W Asia is… Continue reading An Open and Shut Case
