The Key Ukraine War Origins: It All Started in the Minds of Western Leaders

The Roots of the Ukraine War: It All Started in the Minds of Western Leaders The Ukraine conflict, and the Ukraine war origins, often portrayed as a response to Russian aggression, has deeper roots in the ideological and psychological framework of Western leadership. This essay explores how historical ambitions, economic missteps, and a refusal to acknowledge self-inflicted wounds have driven the crisis, aligning with Oswald Spengler’s 1921 prophecy in The Decline of the West, where he foresaw the West’s decline despite its apparent power. Early Symptoms: Energy Disputes and Economic Self-Sabotage Poland’s Energy Conflicts with Russia Tensions over energy resources …

Thinking People vs Philistines: Putin vs. Trump’s World View

  [Note: Regarding Post Soviet Union I misspoke. Boris Yeltsin showed alcoholic tendencies, not Vladimir Putin] What did President Putin mean when he talked about “Philistines”? An Example of a Typical Modern American Philistine. He Kind of Looks Like a Well Known Politician…in fact a lot of them! Here is another example of a Thinking Person compared with a philistine. This article was inspired by Tucker Carlson’s interview with Vladimir Putin, who referred to ‘Thinking people vs philistines’. Few people know the context of Putin’s remark, so I am writing about it. I think it gives a good idea of …

My Trip to Russia, August, 2025: A Crazy Kafkaesque Adventure

    I’d Planned a 6 Week Trip Back to Russia I planned a 6 week trip to Russia from August 22, to September 30th, 2025   Two main reasons  I thought I had an invitation to the International Buddhist Forum in the Buddhist province Kalmykia in Southern Russia. People there are mostly ethnic Mongolian, so they practice Tibetan Buddhism there, which in any case is closely related to Zen. Second, since I planned to go anyway, I thought to get my hernia operation done, which is supposed to be $700 cheaper than the cheapest Thailand private hospital, according to …

Schizophrenic Germany Was the Title of a Book Written in 1961     Recent News Reports Indicate a New Outbreak of Schizophrenic Germany International Relations Expert, Dr. Gilbert Doctorow has just reported on the new Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz. Merz appears to have forgotten the consequences of hostility towards Russia. I am speaking about the incoming chancellor Friedrich Merz, who has been building upon his warlike rhetoric from the electoral campaign that positioned him to form a governing coalition and has now gone completely rabid in his stated plans for inflicting punishment on Russia. Yesterday Friedrich Merz told reporters …

Three Perfidious Watchdogs: The Treacherous IAEA, the OPCW, and the OSCE

  Time to Call Out the Perfidious Imperialist Powers Let’s state openly that these three organizations, the IAEA, the OPCW and the OSCE, are tools of the imperialist powers, exemplified especially by the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union countries, and their military arm, NATO.   Call Things by Their True Name First of all, let’s call things by their true name. In recent years, the term ‘globalists’ has floated around. It seems to mean those who see things from a global point of view. But what we’re really talking about are the Imperialist Powers of Europe and …

Baby Boomers with John Lennon sing give peace a chance

Who Are the Baby Boomers? Are They the Cause of Our Current Problems?

Today’s Problems: All Caused by the Baby Boomers? Some post baby boomer generation commentators have said that today’s wars are the result of the Baby Boomer generation. So I’d like to post number of songs and other items which I personally grew up with, and what happened to the singers. Bold Marauder by Richard Farina I understood this to be a harsh indictment of the US back in 1965. The singer, Richard Farina, had received death threats for his political activities, and died in a suspicious motorcycle accident. It’s hi ho hey, I am the bold marauder  And hi ho …

Stop the Empire's War on Russia

The Little Matter of Agency: Ukraine Is Not the Problem

This blog post from November 2013 largely predicted the tragedy of Ukraine. The author shut down the website, due to pressure from ‘somebody’.   Agency: Who’s Responsible? It’s kind of humorous how everybody familiar with the Ukraine conflict is asking who is responsible for an attack on Russia’s nuclear capable aircraft, an act that could easily precipitate a nuclear war. So I want to talk about Agency. Simply put, agency is the idea of the capacity to act. When I was first starting off as an insurance agent, we had to learn about ‘agency’. I was acting as an Agent …

The Dacha where we had victory day party

Visiting a Russian Dacha–8 Important Lessons

What I Learned at the Dacha   May 9th is Victory Day in Russia. My friend Don Courter  sent me to spend a couple of days at a Dacha, a country house outside of Moscow, built by a top ranking Soviet military aviation designer in the 1950’s. How important was this day? Here is the inimitable Pepe Escobar who sums it up: This was a special Anniversary, the 80th anniversary. Someone asked me, what did I learn at the Dacha?? Language is somewhat of a barrier, but with the use of a translation app on my mobile phone, and with …
