For two of the past two Presidential elections, the Democrats have miserably failed to produce a viable candidate who could sway the entire United States. Instead of complaining about how bad the next three years will be, Democrats now have the opportunity to produce a viable “front runner.” It really shouldn’t be that hard to […]
Despite the fact that we are a multi-cultural society, American soldiers are perceived as Christian soldiers, or “infidels,” by most of the Moslem world. We, and our military, are not really welcome in most parts of the Middle East. Our relationship is historically founded on mistrust.
Let’s bring the troops home and give them a hero’s […]
There seems to be some confusion between patriotism and common sense lately. This is what most nationalistic movements bank on. No one should speak up with the voice of reason; if you do, you will be shouted down, called a coward, and publicly shamed.
There have been more harsh treatments for men and women of reason. […]
Much is being made about the “Peak Oil Crisis” in the media today. Gasoline and natural gas prices are high and continue to rise. But what is the “peak oil crisis” and how does it impact our water supply?
Peak Oil is discussed and defined in an excellent book by Kenneth S. Deffeyes entitled “Beyond Oil, […]
In May, 1978, one of the Major American Television Networks put on a broadcast in celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Founding of the State of Israel.

“City ravaged by chain explosions…chemical company razed…oil refineries explode and burn…utilities disrupted…water supply condemned after a fire broke out on a freighter in port.”
“Power outage sparks one of the worst water crises in the city’s history as all four water pumps go down at once.”
“Seven people dead and 2,300 ill after one of the town’s […]
We are rapidly heading for all out war. One of three events will occur, any one of them is cataclysmic.
The U.S. and Australia will be embroiled in a conflict that will pitch Islam against the rest of the world. Today, just like the prelude to World War Two, we are witnessing the opening strokes. The […]
Developing an effective defensive strategy and force structure is entirely predicated on understanding near and possible long-term threats. Unlike the past, the acquisition cycle of materiel, training and subsequent deployment of new technologies and weapons systems is a long-term commitment, perhaps 30 years. This means we have to try to predict and cater for all […]
Australia is surrounded by the greatest Muslim population on the planet. This includes Indonesia’s 180 million and other countries like Malaysia. Should we be worried about that?
The Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on a recent visit to Tehran stated his country was a friend of Iran. At the same time Iranian President Mahmoud […]
Why would Iran want to start a fight? The Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a true believer of a bloke called the Mahdi. Ahmadinejad and his mates have said many times they want to wipe Israel off the map, destroy America, bring about an Islamic world etc etc. All of this would be funny […]
