Horrible.



"Coalition of the willing"? Where have I heard that before... Inviolable borders... sovereignty?.. Boots in the air... where are my bananas?"


Coalition of the willing (Iraq War)

Trump is now forcing a decision on Ukraine by cutting off support. The danger here is that it can arouse the rejection gene in certain mindsets making them choose martyrdom over survival as Hamas so often does. But Europe, unused to the categorical must be writhing in agony. "Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully."

The shock must be immense. One moment you're talking about decolonizing the Chagos islands, paying reparations to the Caribbean, transgenderism, multiculturalism and net zero and in the next fleeting moment about defending Europe. It's like somebody switched the world on them. The horrible realization is slowly dawning that smoke and mirrors might not be enough this time. It's a stark choice between guaranteeing Ukraine and keeping their cherished social policy.

The question we should ask is: which country is transitioning fastest? And toward what is power transitioning? The apparent goal of the Trump admin is toward a cohesive country with secure borders, a healthy demography and space and technological dominance.

Many pundits apparently believe the Trump admin is pursuing ignorant, random goals. But while one may disagree with them, it seems obvious that MAGA is based on a new architecture of power in which national strength is based more on own assets than international agreements. For a period of time, at least on the surface inside America this may sound like good news. However, do not forget that Trump is backed & fully supported by the most powerful technocrat oligarchy the world has ever seen. They want full spectrum dominance over the entire world and that will come at a huge cost. Meaning "America First" is not necessarily in their purview.




Aside from the occasional meteor strikes it looks rather peaceful.



"Do not go gentle into that good night", "Rage, rage against the dying of the light"... and into The Week we go!



The quibow laden with blossoms
Spring has come
Flippercanorious for some
The children tantra-bobus sung
The kaffeeklatschers drink and chat
Yet Spring, yet Spring sweetens the pot.

Run for, run for those hills babe
let go of the dark days.
let go of the world

Make it all up as you dance along
just like we all have done,
for all of our lives.

The kingdom is yours
the seas the shores,
it's like you've only just arrived.

Dive in, the water will be lovely,
go keen and go boldly
go wherever they sing

It all comes, it all comes when
it wants to, not when you want it to,
at the strangest times.

By the end of this short song, you will feel different.
