EXTREME RIGHT POLITICS A DANGER TO EUROPEAN UNITY
It can easily be said that Europe, as a continent, has learnt very little from the events of two world wars, the Kosovo crisis, Bosnia Northern Ireland and a number of other such events that took the lives of millions of Europeans and in the end really achieved nothing apart from causing a lot of pain and suffering in a number of countries as well as countries having to rebuild whole towns and cities as well as their communities. |

BAINIMARAMA WANTS TO BE QUEEN
There are very few things that I dislike more than coup-leaders, coup-plotters and grubby little dictators. They all have something in common. They are all people who have achieved nothing in life and perhaps never will, all have an inferiority complex and all have a nasty dose of their illusion of self-importance. |

AUSTRALIAN COUP-PLOTTER JUST WANTS TO BE LOVED
How sad is the situation is when one of the main Australian coup-plotters, Senator Mark Arbib, is now trying to justify his position this in relation to the coup he mounted against then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd together with coup-leader Julia Gillard and fellow coup-plotter Bill Shorten plus others.

INDEPENDENTS WIN AUSTRALIAN ELECTIONS
After a couple of weeks of intense negotiations between four elected independents and both the Labor Party as well as the Liberal/National coalition parties, three out of four have decided to give Labor, led by coup-leader Julia Gillard, a chance to govern by guaranteeing not to support certain no-confidence motions and by agreeing to guarantee the passing of supply legislation. |

The Tony Blair Book Farce
BLAIR DETAILS AS TO HOW TO START AN ILLEGAL WAR WITHOUT JUSTIFICATION. In his book,Tony Blair is trying to justify going to war against Iraq forgetting to tell his readers the true facts those facts being that Blair, together with George Bush and Australia’s John Howard, knew that there was no evidence supporting the notion that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and that the sole reason for conducting this war was to get rid of Saddam Hussein. |

WILL THE REAL AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER PLEASE STAND UP?
Australian has lots of former Prime Ministers, wannabe Prime Ministers, could-have-been Prime Ministers and indeed should-have-been-Prime Minister but there is only one Australian who says she is the Prime Minister but who is really nothing more than an example of being just another a coup-leader. Coup-leader Julia Gillard is currently promoting the virtues of a Gillard Government when in reality there is no and never was a Gillard Government in the first place.

COUP LEADER JULIA GILLARD MOVING FORWARD IN CIRCLES
After two weeks of electioneering, there are signs of desperation within the Australian Labor Party after the Australian public appears to begin to see through the ALP’s cheap and nasty tactics which began by the various factions within the party, and coup leader Gillard in particular, deposing Kevin Rudd as Prime Minister and by doing so in a particularly nasty fashion, so raising serious voter doubts and indeed more than a few ‘second thoughts’ about electing Gillard and her co-coup plotters as Australia’s Government on 21 August. |

THE US GOVERNMENT CLEANING ISRAEL’S DIRTY LAUNDRY
It is fascinating to watch how some governments surround themselves in a veil of secrecy, hypocrisy and double standards and, sadly, the US Government appears to be a master of all of those when it comes to matters related to Israel. One can almost be excused for thinking that Israel’s Prime Minster, Benjamin Netanyahu, travels to Washington on a regular basis just to tell President Obama how he should conduct himself. One only has to look at Israel’s latest adventures, and there are many of those, in order to come to conclusion that Prime Minister Netanyaho has the US in his pocket and that all he has to do is to provide Obama with his instructions. |

WAR CRIMES SUSPECT TONY BLAIR. ARREST HIM, CHARGE HIM, CONVICT HIM, JAIL HIM
The evidence provided by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair to a UK inquiry may have taken him six hours to provide but it will take him the rest of his miserable life to live down the consequences of his actions - actions that, to me, are much less admirable than what the British public would have and should have expected from a British Prime Minister. |

THE YEAR 2010. MAKE A DIFFERENCE THIS YEAR. DEMAND STRONGER ACCOUNTABILITY AND DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS
While the year 2009 might well have been a bit of an eye-opener for some people, in overall terms, apart from some major disasters, year 2009 was a rather forgettable one for more people.
With any luck, however, year 2010 might well be a somewhat different in numerous different ways.
On the international scene, Iraq and Afghanistan are still major trouble spots at this point in time, while 2010 will see Yemen will be one country to watch in terms of Al-Qaeda and related insurgency. |

Schteve McLaren and The Dutch Football Revolution
Have a look at the Eredivisie Table. It’s now late October and yet there sits atop that league a team still unbeaten. In fact, there are only 2 teams in the Dutch Eredivisie who are still unbeaten. One of them is the mighty PSV Eindhoven, former European champions and considered, along with Ajax of Amsterdam, one of the powerhouses of Dutch Football. |

The Indian Pacific - An Australian Journey from East to West
The Indian-Pacific is an interesting train in that it runs from Sydney, on Australia's east coast to Perth on Australia's west coast via Central NSW, South Australia and a substantial slice of Western Australia. It has been running since the 1970's and despite having been renovated a number of times, it is starting to show its age a bit but it is still one of the world's more interesting railway trips. |

The statements by this man being the case, one can only conclude that this particular individual is a liar. |

FINDING OSAMA BIN LADEN
They seek him here, they seek him there, they seek him everywhere but finding Osama Bin Laden seems to be proving to be more difficult than first thought. Not that the difficulties with finding him are an indication as to how good he and other Al Qaeda main decision-makers and operatives might appear to have been in terms of hiding their ever-changing locations, but more as to highlight the incompetence of the various intelligence services. |

JOHN HOWARD. THE GRUB FROM DOWN-UNDER
Ah yes, my Australian friends certainly won't like me for this little contribution but then, that's life.
First of all we must ask the question as to how on earth John Howard ever managed to stay in power as Prime Minister for 11 long years. Were Australians asleep at the wheel or did they just care more about cricket rather than a fair and just Government?

SINGAPORE 8 September 2009
Singapore is one of those places that most people in transit to other destinations in Europe would have visited at one time or another. I am of the view though that Singapore represents much more than just the transit lounge at Chang Airport and that this small country is well worth a visit. |

TONY BLAIR FOR EU PRESIDENT? THE THOUGHT OF IT ALONE WOULD MAKE ME WANT TO THROW UP
Remember a man named Tony Blair? Yep, that's him.
He was the one who ventured into an illegal war in Iraq together with his other two grubby little mates George W Bush and Johnny Howard. And then, after his resignation as British PM, he became a Middle East 'peace representative' on behalf of the United Nations, achieving absolutely nothing in the process. |

SEARCHING FOR SOME LAUGHS!
In 1979, a handful of L.A. standup comics, who I still refer to as the Fabulous Fourteen, tried to blackmail a comedy club owner into paying cash for their services. It was a quasi labor dispute argued by huge egos on both sides. “I’m Dying up Here!” is a story about comics’ dreams realized, and some of those more firmly clutched dreams, frustrated. |

Well May We Say “God Save The Queen” Because Nothing Will Save Tony Blair
Remember the war in Iraq, one of the two? Take your pick.
One was because Saddam invaded Kuwait, a country that was growing oil and not oranges while the other was because Saddam was said to have weapons of mass destruction, weapons that never were and for which former US President George W is still looking, together with his brains. In his dreams that is.

Doomed To Search For Replacements!!!
Has everything in your life that you have come to depend on recently become extinct? Announcing today, the discontinuation of everything that you like. To like something today is to instantly doom it to oblivion. I guess I am just lucky that I have a low self esteem. |

For about fifteen terrible minutes the weapons thundered. Then suddenly, far to the east, two searchlights flashed into the sky like a celestial sign and remained stationary. |

I’m not sure what can really be said for travelling the world. So many proverbs come to mind and it’s really not in anybodies best interest if we tabulate all these in the forthcoming passages. What I can do though is offer my own two cents, and hope that they are worth more than their title. |
