Generational Dynamics Forum - New Site

I used to check out this message forum now and then to get solid news and analysis on current geopolitical events from John and a few others. Bob Butler and his insane, ridiculous posts have made the forum unreadable. Sadly, I must agree. I started frequenting this site about 10 years ago, because,...

** 28-Jan-2024 World View: Today I'm suddenly feeling pretty sick and will probably have to g back to the hospital, so I want to make the effort to try to post a few thoughts. There are lots of people I need to thank, but here I can only name a couple. Spotty and Navigator have provided both financ...

At this point there is no solution, but a large war would interrupt illegal trade about as much as regul...

Corruption, Drug Money - Drug Gangs, near Anarchy. Another country south of our border implodes. I don't see how the country digs itself out of its current mess without draconian measures, which would lead to a whole other slate of problems. Note that this was once one of the better places in South ...

I was an engineer fighting communism working contracts for the military and intelligence agencies. I used my brain rather than carried a rifle. So, yes, I think myself smarter than most. I don’t see this as improper or part of some grand conspiracy. I just pushed my schoolwork a little harder than ...

It has nothing to do with the colonialism or...
