Is There Already a Cure For Coronavirus?
There is a lot of doom and gloom being pedalled by most mainstream media outlets about the effects of coronavirus and how long this pandemic may last. A coronavirus cure seems to be months, perhaps years away. The situation is quite serious with the disease seeming to be particularly deadly …
Maybe we need a little March Madness
So, this is March madness. Empty supermarket aisles, a toilet paper shortage, politicians slashing regulations and pumping money into the economy like crazy, CEOS resigning en masse, travel basically ceasing, major sport playing to empty stadiums, bars closing (now I’m scared) and a thousand talking heads insisting that the world …
Shameful, Pathetic & Sad
I’m staring up incredulously at an earnest young man telling me and the scattered “crowd” that the young people of Australia are uniting behind Assange and that revolution of the working class is all but assurred. He means it. I don’t know what he’s been taking, but I want some, …

They have become lulled into a soporific feel good daze that the free trade mantra induces. When they inevitably awake to …
The Assange Indictment Mistake That Was Not A Mistake
I’m seriously pissed off right now about so many things it doesn’t matter. What doesn’t piss me off is the apparent “mistake” made by the DOJ alluding to a secret indictment for Julian Assange. It troubles me greatly, but it doesn’t piss me off. Not at all and that’s because …
Australia A Land O f Sheep With the Wool Pulled Over It’s Eyes
The romantic myth of Australia is just that. You know what I’m talking about. The irreverent, rebellious land of Ned Kelly and Crocodile Dundee where “women glow and men plunder”. Where everyone gets a fair go and hard work is rewarded. If that land ever existed, it has long …
