As Kim Jung-un continue to accelerate his nuclear arms tests and development, the thought which is probably on the minds of the leaders of many countries, especially those bordering North Korea, is that of what will he do next? KJU, it has to be remembered, is like a spoilt and defiant child who came into possession of a lot of extremely dangerous toys, including a military force of hundreds of thousands of armed men and women, and, probably of even greater concern, the capability to make nuclear weapons. Not only to make them, but probably the inclination to use them.  Of course, he might be comparable to such a child, in his use of his despotic powers, but he has the power of an absolute ruler. Kim Jung-un is no ordinary man; he is a brutal dictator who is not only mercilessly threatening and oppressing the people of North Korea, but he is also threatening the world. Quite simply, or, more precisely, this brutal and probably psychotic despot is holding nuclear weapons to

This video was taken during one of my contemplative and pleasurable Canal walks, and depict a range of water birds having what appeared to be a very enjoyable time, doing what they tend to do. Take a look and see what enjoyment it could bring to you as well, as you imagine yourself going with the flow.

The Syrian Proxy War; has the control gears been removed from the conflict? Many years ago, I read a book which defined politics as the 'art of the possible.' Be that as it may, it would appear that our contemporary politicians are endeavouring to make politics the 'art of the impossible', with the world's leading politicians, it would appear, demonstrating artistic ineptitude. I am minded of what the Americans, and the western and  allies in Middle Eastern allies are asking of the Russians, with regards to the Syrian Proxy War. Essentially they are asking the Russians - and they would say, President Putin, in particular - to 'bully' the Syrian Government into doing what the West wants it to do. Yes, believe it or not, although the West, let us say, the NATO members, make a lot of ado about 'democracy' and the right of countries to determine their own destiny, these countries, and especially the US, wants the Russians to force the Sy

Here is a video of our garden, as time goes by and Autumn or Fall is anticipated in the next couple of months. Do take a look, on the off chance that you might find a moment of delight or pleasure. Allow yourself to be touched and enthused!

Ancient humans might have worshipped the Moon and the Sun, because of their benefit to their existence, thereby demonstrating their rationality. Contemporary humans perpetuate the belief in an unseen 'god', thereby demonstrating his irrationality This is a continuation of Taku2u's imaginary conversation with God. In having this conversation, Taku2u is working on the premis that, like a father or mother to their children, God would not object to his children - based on the proposition of the creationists - having an frank and honest conversation with him/her/deity.  T.: Well, G, I appreciate your response, so far. However, it does not accord with what you have been quoted as saying, in Chapter 3, verse 16, where you are quoted as telling Eve that she “will greatly multiply her sorrow and her conception, and that it is in sorrow that she shall give birth to her children, and that her desire shall be to her man, who shall rule over her.” What is the po

Islington Council has just replaced the light in the lives of thousands of young people with darkness, with its 'jihadistic' decision to stop them having fun. Not many of you might not have heard of Fabric Club, which is a popular night club in the London Borough of Islington, United Kingdom. It has recently had its licence to operate revoked by Islington Council, having apparently be held responsible for the death of  two young people who had taken drugs. The Council and the Police, it seem, have taken the view that the Club had not done enough to prevent errant revellers from taking drugs on to its premises, where some people use them, leading to a minority of them paying the ultimate price of forfeiting their lives. Ironically, the fact that Fabric is recognised as one of the clubs with the strictest anti-drug policy and practice, has not protected it from this grievous action by the Council. Now, it goes without saying that, the Police and Islington Council

Sometimes you are confronted by what you are looking for, without realising it, because your thinking programme you to dismiss everything else which 'does not match' what you presume your answer to be. So, consider this; the danger of us being so focus on what we are searching for, that we missed the opportunities that present themselves. In living, we are always searching for something, whether it be the meaning of life, the purpose of life, our ideal partner, power or riches. And, as we earnestly search for these or other things, we can miss the equally or nearly as good opportunities or answers that present themselves. Simply by not seeing or hearing them or by ignoring them, on the basis that they are not what we are looking for, or what we imagine them to be. And so, without knowing what we have done, we become perpetual - at least, for as long as we are living -  seekers for what we shall not find, while ignoring the opportunities which presented themselves to

The future belongs to the young and they will need honest and capable politicians to guide and lead them. Of recent years - yes, you might consider me a late starter - I have formed the view that, politicians, and their profession, politics, are to be viewed with utmost distrust, and should carry a health warning for the electorate. When, quite by chance, I decided to briefly watch the televised transmission of the  British Parliamentary Committee on Energy and Climate Change, debate.  Standing in the chamber delivering his speech, impeccably, except for the occasional repetition to emphasise the key points he was making, was a smartly dressed young man, who I presumed to be no more than in his twenties. It would later transpired that this young man, and young politician, is no other than, as they might have said in days gone by, Esquire Callum Mccaig, who happens to 31 years old. Callum Mccaig, I found out, is the Scottish National Party's Energy and Climate Change S

This is a video of a regular visiting bird to our garden having its breakfast and exhibiting some cool and original moves while it does so. Check it out and, if you are inclined to do so, enjoy!

Where are all the other birds, this solitary soul could be saying? Why am I all alone, with none other to be seen or heard, it continued, before flying off into the twilight of the ever encraoching  darkness. Take a look and arrive at your own conclusion. Also, enjoy; if you are minded to do so.

The people of Syrian seemingly have a very long wait for the stability, peace and security which others can take for the norm. So, as we witness the unveiling of another plan for peace and 'democratic transition' of power in Syria - read the surrendering of the Syrian Government - by a disparate body of Syrians, most of whom have made themselves into traitors, presumptously called the "High Negotiation Committee", we are more poignantly reminded of the suffering of the Syrian people and the gradual destruction of their country. London, as it was in that other disastrous war against the people of Iraq, has become of city of intrigues and incubation of plots to overthrown governments around the world. Is it only coincidental that, just as the traitors within the HNC are putting forward their new plan for resolving the Syrian Proxy War, the British Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, has appealed to the Russian Federation, asking it to betray the Syrian Governm

Behind all the grand uniform and badges, etc, etc, is the common nakedness of us humans, and we should avoid taking ourselves too seriously. Us humans most probably take ourselves, as we do our lives, much too seriously. Many of us attach too much self-importance to ourselves and our positions in living, sometimes thinking or behaving as if we are indispensable, and as if the world would stop on its axis, if we were not around. Wrong! However person-specific are the good deeds we do or might have done, had we been given the opportunity, it was always going to be only for a limited period of time.  And certainly not beyond the tenure of our living  and ability to perform the roles and duties we are carrying out, and doing so competently.   Far from giving rise to a situation whereby the world, or the business would cease to exist, if we were not around or occupying the position we are holding, there are times when we are actually holding back the progress of the
