The Slow Return of Scottish Labour
Our Kez's departure to the jungle occasions Scottish Labour's tentative return from the wilderness. Coincidence? You couldn't plan it better. Richard Leonard's victory is another welcome step forward in the transformation of the party. Not only does the Corbyn majority on the NEC increase by one (another case of Labour right machinations coming back to bite them), but we now have a leftwing leade
Hammond's Excruciating Budget
Philip Hammond has a reputation for being a bit boring, and true to form his budget was a snorefest. It was almost as if he intentionally tried sending the chamber to sleep before forced to break the grim news: growth forecasts down, productivity down, borrowing up, and sticking with the cuts to government departments already programmed in. The dismal jokes reflected the dismal budget well. Thoug
On Stoke-on-Trent's Homeless Tax
Last week I was asked why nothing had appeared on this blog lately about Stoke-on-Trent. And you know what, it's because not a great many interesting things have gone on. Yes, Stoke South was one of the few Labour places that fell to the Tories at the general election, and in Stoke North and Central there were contractions in the majorities. All of which are, in my view, the expression of the geo
Solidarity with Bex Bailey
Reading through Bex Bailey's account of her rape at the 2011 Labour conference made me feel sick. But what it also made me feel was weary, perhaps an insight into the kind of bone tiredness feminist comrades are used to feeling when they encounter these stories and experiences time after time after time. A year later, in 2012 in Manchester, one of my friends was similarly attacked by a conference
The Basic Income and the Cult of Work
If you have the kind of job like, say Chuka Umunna, you might not want to see the end of work. You get a hefty salary, you are the boss of your own office, you're respected by your peers and considered to be someone who matters, and nice long breaks help punctuate life at Westminster. If, on the other hand, your experience of work is a life of drudge, humiliation and insecurity there's a very goo
Hubris and Nemesis
A Sunday in late 2017 wouldn't be a Sunday in late 2017 if the politics wasn't dominated by more Tory infighting and backbiting. Characteristically the Prime Minister is nowhere to be seen (has anyone spotted her of late?), instead the Tory travails now turn upon the return of the Boris Johnson/Michael Gove double act. Yes, they're back. The lust for power now trumps even public betrayal and humi

Black Friday: People are dying for great deals...
no, really - they're dying. People are getting shot at malls. I really thought it would be better this year. I thought wrong. I will admit to a planned trip to Costco at 9 am to pick up a few things. It's stuff that's on sale the entire week, but I'm afraid they may be sold out. Everything else will come from Amazon. I hope everyone had a pleasant and thankful day yesterday. We enjoyed a quiet di

Shards, Axis Ratios and Interstellar Objects
It being the day after the Thanksgiving holiday here in the States, I hadn’t planned a post, but a few more things have cropped up about ‘Oumuamua that I can quickly tuck in here. Now that I’ve learned how to pronounce it (oh MOO-uh MOO-uh), it doesn’t seem nearly as intimidating — it’s the lineup of vowels that trips up the unwary. On the other hand, Jim Benford suggested on Wednesday that we av

‘Dark Star’ and Staring into the Cosmic Abyss
Most of us fortunate enough to see 2001: A Space Odyssey in a theater when it was released never dreamed it would spawn a strange ‘twin.’ But as Larry Klaes explains in the essay that follows, Dark Star was to emerge as a telling satire on the themes of the Kubrick film. Originating in the ideas of USC film students John Carpenter and Dan O’Bannon, Dark Star likewise plays into the screenplay for
Unusual Visitor: A Deeper Look at ‘Oumuamua
When I first wrote about the interstellar interloper now called ‘Oumuamua, I made reference to Arthur C. Clarke’s Rendezvous with Rama because of the delightful symmetry between the novel and the object, though noting that ‘we’re unlikely to find that A/2017 U1 is as intriguing as Clarke’s mysterious starship bound for the Magellanics’ (see An Interstellar Visitor? ). Still, an interstellar objec
`Oumuamua: Listening To An Interstellar Interloper
The buzz about `Oumuamua, our first known visitor from another stellar system, seems likely to continue given yesterday’s news that the object’s axis ratio is a startling 10 to 1. Given all that, Jim Benford wondered whether there were SETI implications here. Was anyone on the case from our major SETI organizations? The answer is below, as we learn that the effort is ongoing.

The study below, written by key players in the Initiative for Interstellar Studies (i4is), examines the possibilities. Andreas Hein is Executive as well as Technical Director of i4is, while Nikolas Perakis, a graduate student at the Techni

Misdirection and Catalonia
The Spanish Government’s refusal yesterday of the offer of a 20 December election in Catalonia vividly highlights that the thing they are most scared of is any kind of free and fair vote. They wish to take over all the Catalan institutions and media, and institute a judicial ban on pro-Independence campaigning, before they allow any election – that is why they prefer a six month delay.

This NYT Article about Fukushima Daiichi Requires Suspension of Disbelief
In a recent article, the New York Times argued that Fukushima Daiichi is "under control" and that TEPCO is preparing for de-comissioning, after finding the missing reactor fuel from unit 3: Martin Fackler (NOV. 19, 2017). Six Years After Fukushima, Robots Finally Find Reactors’ Melted Uranium Fuel. The New York Times, https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/19/science/japan-fukushima-nuclear-meltdown-fue
Control Over US Nuclear Strikes and the Drums of War
Yesterday I observed that Yahoo and Newsweek were beating the drums of war in their mis-representation of the results of a Japanese public opinion poll concerning North Korea (see http://majiasblog.blogspot.com/2017/11/who-is-beating-drums-of-war-and-for.html ) Today I read in the Asahi Shimbun that "the top officer at US Strategic Command" says that an order from the President to launch a nuclea

Who Is The Progressive?
Jagmeet Singh is trying to define himself as the one and only progressive leader in the House of Commons. But two provincial premiers -- Rachel Notley and John Horgan --are making it hard for Singh to make his case. Michael Harris writes : NDP Premier Rachel Notley has done a better job of promoting new pipelines than any Conservative premier before her. In fact, it is hard to see how a Premier J
The Illness Is Now A Pandemic
Donald Trump personifies what ails the United States. Jared Yates Sexton writes : Throughout the first year of his presidency and the entirety of his campaign, Mr. Trump has shown an otherworldly ability to be on the wrong side of every significant issue. Now, with record-low approval ratings and a track record of bad judgment, it's time for Americans to realize the stark, cold truth: our preside
The Rubber Hits The Road
The Trudeau government is very good when it comes to making promises. But, when it comes to delivering on them, their expertise is questionable. That's the message behind the week's Auditor General's Report. Susan Delacourt writes : Ferguson’s devastating report has described a government that can’t even pay its public servants properly or figure out how to provide results-based service to citize
The Nasty Folks Behind Him
As Senators like John McCain, Bob Corker and Jeff Flake have distanced themselves from Donald Trump, some progressives have speculated that Trump may be gone sometime after 2018. But William Anderson writes that their rejoicing is premature: The possibility of a Republican overthrow of Trump has been considered, even from within his inner circle. Vanity Fair recently reported that months ago, for
Ego Is No Substitute For Intellect
Word has it that NAFTA re-negotiations are not going well. Robert Samuelson writes that's because Donald Trump has misdiagnosed the problem: What made America great in the 1950s and 1960s were the strength of its economy and the recognition that freer trade was a powerful political force promoting prosperity and cementing Western alliances. It is this system that Trump is repudiating on the groun

The Syrian War To Free Itself From The Evil US/Israel/NATO Criminal Cabal: The US Will Finally Admit That It Has (At Least) 2000 Combat Troops ILLEGALLY In Syria!
Regular readers of this blog will recall how some 3 weekend rants ago, I put into my last minute tidbits section the interesting revelation made by the criminal US State Department that they did indeed have some "4000 combat troops" ILLEGALLY in the sovereign nation of Syria... And of course shortly after that startling revelation was made, it was dismissed by other members of the US Government an
The Syrian War To Free Itself From The Evil US/Israel/NATO Criminal Cabal: Did The US Allow ISIS To Escape To Keep The Fighting Going (Honestly, Is This A Trick Question?)
I have long known that this "terrorist group" that is of course known as "ISIS" is a complete fraud and a sham.... It is so laughable at times to watch the Jew spew media even up here in Canada try to continue with their "fear porn" by subjecting gullible people to the constant propaganda that "ISIS is going to get you"..... I honestly have to shake my head every time I see and hear people out the
The Syrian War To Free Itself From The Evil US/Israel/NATO Criminal Cabal: Victory? Updates On Situation, And Where Does Syria Go From Here
I always seem to be doing a lot of "catching up" lately.... BUT one thing that I am absolutely proud and happy to see is the embattled Syrian government under Bashar al-Assad FINALLY wipe out most of what remains of the US created, funded, and operated "ISIS" fraud "terrorists" in eastern Syria..... With the fall of the last "ISIS" outposts along the southern bank of the Euphrates River over the l

Understanding Our Enemy: There Are Repeated Patterns In Jewish Deception That Allow You To Recognize Jewish Lies
We in the real truth movement are not deceived and know exactly who our enemy is..... I for one have not been deceived by the lies that our enemies are "Zionists" or that only a small part of the tribe is truly evil, for I can see clearly that the entire lot of the so called "chosen ones" are driven by their madness that they alone are to be masters of all mankind.... That sickness is why the worl
Canadian Knucklehead Prime Minister Justin Trudeau At His Best: Calls ISIS Fighters Returning To Canada "Returning Islamic Travellers" (!)
As a Canadian, I am truly disgusted by the antics and stupidity of the sitting Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau... It has been bad enough that this knucklehead and moron is trying to ram through his phoney and fraudulent "Carbon Tax" that will fleece BILLIONS of dollars from the pockets of Canadian Taxpayers, but he has again and again made himself out to be an absolute moron when it comes to foreig

So what does Jacinda know that Lyndon Johnson didn't?
This year commemorates the 50th anniversary on US president Lyndon Johnson's famous War on Poverty. The stated goal of the War on Poverty, as enunciated by Lyndon Johnson on January 8, 1964, was, “…not only to relieve the symptom of poverty, but to cure it and, above all, to prevent it.” Measured against this objective, the War on Poverty has not just been a failure, it has been a catastrophe .

The Reserve Bank and the government have made renters' lives more difficult
Here's a question for you: What happens when the Reserve Bank and the government make it harder for investors to buy and own homes? And the answer, dear reader, is in the news today (and should be no surprise to anyone, except perhaps the Reserve Bank and the government and their voters): RNZ NEWS: Renters caught out as supply falls Too many would-be tenants are chasing too-few rental homes...

Guest Review: "...the most important political book in recent memory."
GUEST REVIEW By Suzuki Samurai Hard to believe that it’s only been a year since the orange twat took the throne. A year of sound and fury. In his new book on the old forces the twat has released into the wild, Jeffrey Tucker turns down the volume, sharpens the focus, and delivers what I think is perhaps the most important political book in recent memory. PJ O’Rourke touched upon the voter’s decis

Quote of the Day: On the real reason not to require DPB recipients to name the father

The America's Cup bill keeps racking up
And this is one reason I wasn't celebrating the Ministry of Yachting's America's Cup last win: because these gorgeous bastards will now have their hands in our pockets forever. The latest cost to the honest taxpayer/ratepayer: upwards of $150 million (plus stuff-ups) to build them a home on the water. Oh yes, folk will point to studies saying if "we" spend $150 million then "we" will get $300 mil
