I need to step back
Thursday, 17 March 2022 — The New Dark Age I need to amend this; It’s virtually impossible for me to ‘switch off’, I’ve already broken my own ‘rule’ twice! But I will endeavour to chill out, I have to. I’m going to have to take a step back from editing/publishing for awhile but I hope… Continue reading

Nostalgia?
Friday, 11 March 2022 — Investigating Imperialism By William Bowles The power of symbols Ukrainian Neo-Nazis (note the Flags of NATO and the Azov Battalion and of course, the Swastika) No, I don’t think it’s nostalgia and it’s not Andrei Tarkovsky’s stunning movie, ‘Nostalghia‘ either, it’s the image below, one of the 100s of Russian… Continue reading

The censorship is starting to bite!
Thursday, 10 March 2022 — The New Dark Age Update: South Front is back online as is Indian Punchline! South Front has gone and now Indian Punchline has disappeared, so no one, not even a retired Indian diplomat is safe from the long arm of the ‘fake news checkers’. I’ll keep this page at the… Continue reading

One Twit Quits Twitter (again)
10 November 2020 — The New Dark Age Yet again I’ve shut down my Twitter account (the last time was several years ago), then I was foolishly persuaded to rejoin the evil propaganda outlet of the Gangsters. Actually, I really MUST BE MAD to use Twitter and not only line the pockets of the bastards that… Continue reading

The Great Scampede or The Iron Heel Revisited
It would appear that the major capitalist classes of the world have waged total war on the planet’s people without firing a shot and at the same time set up the infrastructure needed to enslave us, and all in order to preserve the rule of a bankrupt Capitalism. Continue reading

Taking a break (not)
22 June 2020 — The New Dark Age I need to take a break from this, I am totally burned out. I’ve been running this blog for far too many years. This version started in 2003 but earlier versions first started in 1983 and ran until 1992. This is not to say that I won’t add… Continue reading

Saying of the year

Is Corbyn a socialist and does it (no longer) matter if he isn’t?
Is this election different? Can we expect a Corbyn-led government to turn back the tide? Can we even expect an attempt at turning back the tide? Frankly, I don’t think we have much choice, after all, what else is there? The left, such as it is, is bankrupt and devoid of revolutionary ideas so the… Continue reading

I’m taking the day off
23 July 2019 A short note. I’m taking the day off today as I’m a birthday boy (74) and off to hang out by the seaside for the day with an old friend, so no updates. Plus it’s HOT out there and London is not the place to be when in it’s in the 30s,… Continue reading

Some like it hot by William Bowles
18 July 2019 — Investigating Imperialism I am nothing if not an optimist, a trait that most on the Left seem to share. A belief in the future, that there is one that includes us. That things, eventually, get better, if we fight for it. ‘Unrealistic’, I hear you say, what is there to be… Continue reading
