Over the next few days I will be serializing an essay written by the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo. The purpose of this is to give us the chance to analyze more deeply why the Nobel Committee decided to award him the Prize, and not some other deserving soul. When translating this first … Continue reading
The last couple of weeks have seen the norms of international diplomatic relations turned on its head. Highly confidential conversations between diplomats, ambassadors, the Secretary of State and others entrusted to the secrets formerly only privy to the US Government and its related organs are now out in the public domain for all to see. … Continue reading
I gave up taking much notice of the MSM many years ago; it was quite obvious that most everything you saw was propaganda or at least very biased coverage. In today’s modern age of information overload, it is possible to miss things in the myriad of media outlets. I had been keeping an eye on … Continue reading

The discovery of huge gold deposits in the east, … Continue reading
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been loving reading the cables released by wikileaks the last week; some of it, like I’ve said before is old news, but reading the cables gives an insight in to the assumptions and the world view of the American administration and its diplomats, and that is fascinating.

I just grabbed this graph from the Economist, which shows the size and range of China’s new missile arsenal. As the article points out, missiles can be a cheaper and more effective deterrent than a 2 million strong standing army. Infantry have been a mainstay of armed forces ever since a pikeman thrust his pike deep … Continue reading
Drayton rolled to his feet, still not fully recovered from the exertion of collecting Williams’ body. He felt light-headed and his thighs ached. He told the original ambush team to stay where they were and ordered the reinforcements to follow him as he headed as fast as he could in the direction the explosion had … Continue reading
