Big Brother is watching you — or so they tell us. But today’s surveillance state has an inconvenient flaw: it often can’t see, can’t think, and can’t function. In the name of “security,” citizens are herded into biometric rituals, forced to prove their existence to malfunctioning algorithms that mistake incompetence for authority. A simple task becomes an obstacle course, efficiency collapses into farce, and human judgment is replaced by blind automation.…

A routine plumbing issue turned into a full-blown crisis when we learned that a major sewer blockage lay buried deep beneath our front yard. The timing could not have been worse: I was immobilized following knee surgery, and our home suddenly became unusable. This is not a tale of inconvenience, but a reminder of how quickly everyday life can unravel — and how much we depend on unseen infrastructure working as…

A tragicomedy of hospital experiences during ad after a knee replacement surgery

It was just before Christmas. The year was closing out quietly, but inside my home — newly filled with the restored breath of my antique piano — something stirred. The instrument, long silent, had finally begun to sing again. Not just tinkle or protest, but sing — offering melodies that matched your mood, your silence, your memories. And that’s when it came. And then I “heard” a beautiful melody. From above.…

A CRTIC’S VIEW: This is an effective and powerfully argued essay. The seamless integration of personal experience (the hot dog line, the heat, the traffic) with profound geopolitical commentary makes the piece engaging and resonant, particularly for readers who share your perspective. The structure is a roadmap for how to successfully turn a small event into a monumental piece of social and political criticism.

Suddenly, I was facing not just a tune, but a timeline. Had Beethoven — the young admirer, the rising star — heard Mozart’s clarinet concerto? Could he have borrowed its essence for his own violin piece? After all, in those days composers didn’t worry about copyright. They borrowed, adapted, and paid homage. Music was a language shared, not owned. And this… this felt like a musical handshake across time. Because sometimes,…

“Serbia likes to look modern while still being stuck in the past.” That single sentence summarizes the story, the problem, and the punchline. Everything that follows is just affirmation through anecdote. Drama at IKEA (aka “Halfway to Greece”) This section had me chuckling: “There was a bedlam and a long line of people… Kids were screaming, dogs barking…” And then the Kafkaesque twist: “We can’t do it that way. You have…

In one 5-hour collaborative session, starting with a hand sketch my wife had made, my AI-pal CP and I created, as he put it my wife’s “dream kitchen,” along with all the engineering specs required to build it.

Mozart Symphony No. 40 – one of only 2 as I recall in a minor key. I dubbed it the “Roo Symphony.” Because when I played it on the piano at my property in Western Australia, the kangaroos would stop eating, turn their magnificent ears toward me like like radar receptors, and wait till I was finished. This rendition carries that unmistakable Mozart tension — restless, urgent, like thoughts chasing each…

Ever buy something, only to discover hours later you could have paid a lot less? That’s what happened when I went shopping for a new MacBook Air. My trip to the Apple Store was full of salesmanship, theater, and high-tech enthusiasm. But the real surprise came when I rolled into Costco. What followed was part comedy, part déjà vu from my old IBM days — and a reminder that even in…

How old is my 2016 Mac in human years? I posed that to Google’s AI. Here’s the reply: “A 9-year-old Apple laptop is roughly equivalent to a 75- to 80-year-old person, retired and no longer able to keep up with the demands of modern life. While it can still perform basic functions, its hardware is several generations out of date and no longer receives the latest software updates.” So there you…

A Dream Come True or A Nightmare Yet to Unfold? What a nightmare it has turned out to be so far. It was an authentic way to acquaint myself with the national character of the country in which I was born. In the end, I never felt more like a stranger in Serbia than in these last five months, like an alien on a strange planet. If I were to sum…

When Trump Media announced yesterday a $2 billion Bitcoin acquisition, the news was framed as strategic innovation. But this isn’t just another corporate pivot—it’s a potential conflict of interest of presidential proportions.

Je me souviens – I remember “NATO’s bombing of Serbia was nothing short of a gang rape of a small country. A military alliance of 19 nations and 780 million people; with over half of the world’s gross economic product, possessing two-thirds of the global military power, ganged up on a tiny nation of 10 million. For 78 days, NATO terrorized the people of Serbia, dropping 23,000 bombs and missiles on…

Guess it all has to do with expectations. Those who were hoping for a change after today’s massive demonstrations in the Serbian capital will be left disappointed. “The mountain shook, a mouse was born,” goes an old saw (“tresla se gora, rodio se mis” – the Serbian version of this proverb). Aleksa Cvetanovic, one of the student-protestors, told the SBS News, an Australian news channel, that whatever the outcome, it’s important…

TRUMP IS CAUSING A GEOPOLITICAL POLE SHIFT: LIBERAL NORTH IS NOW SOUTH, AND CONSERVATIVE SOUTH IS NOW NORTH The last day of February marked the beginning of the end of the Zelensky-EU love-in. The Ukrainian leader hit an iceberg at the Trump White House when he tried to lecture the US president and the vice

On the Jan 1 evening news, the NBC anchor Lester Holt interviewed the Louisiana chief law enforcement officer, the attorney general Liz Murrill, about the New Year’s massacre on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Here’s an excerpt from that interview: https://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news/video/louisiana-attorney-general-says-airbnb-fire-near-new-orleans-attack-linked-to-production-of-explosives-228294213818 As you see, she said that there were “multiple individuals” involved in the attack.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said on Thursday he would refuse to leave office early if incoming President Donald Trump tried to oust him, adding he cannot be legally removed anyway. Speaking at a press conference following the latest meeting of the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee, Powell was asked if he’d exit central bank leadership if asked by Trump, who repeatedly attacked him in his first term as president. Powell said flatly “no” and…

More than two months before the election, I said TRUMP WILL WIN BY A LANDSLIDE. I also said, “I plan to (re)publish this story and the image again on Nov 6. And now I have.

Until yesterday, I wasn’t sure. All the lamestream “fake” media reports glorified Kamala Harris, especially after a 4-day Democratic convention in Chicago. But what my wife and I witnessed yesterday in Glendale in 109F (43C) heat convinced me otherwise. So much love, so much, loyalty, so much hope… that’s what the people we saw and talked to exuded. They were young and old and middle aged. And they want Trump to…

Biden’s dam did burst today. He announced he was withdrawing from the race and endorsed his VP Kamala Harris to take his place. Which is what this writer said on Nov 7, 2020 – four days after the last presidential election.

The Democrats are in a panic as they fear a crushing defeat in the upcoming election due to President Biden’s declining popularity. They are scrambling to find a strong candidate to compete against the rising star, Donald Trump. Considered options like Vice President Kamala Harris and other potential candidates, none seems to match the name recognition of Biden or the popularity of Trump. The intense political atmosphere resembles the scorching Arizona…

Why is “nothing known” about the shooter so long after he was shot? Why is no one talking to the media about it? Are we going to have another “Grassy Knoll” case here? (like the JFK assassination in 1963 which is still shrouded in mystery 61 years later). This could be the spark that ignites a larger explosion.

European football fans are focused on the UEFA Euro Cup 2024 games, but many are unaware of the simultaneous Copa America tournament. This lack of attention from Europe contrasts with the significant following the Copa America has in the Americas, attracting large crowds and demonstrating the tournament’s longstanding history. The contrast highlights the Euro-centric perspective prevalent in European football culture. This disparity in attention reflects a broader societal dynamic reminiscent of…

Was duplicitous CIA actually behind this atrocity? What if the CIA did not have a mole at all but was, in fact, masterminding the whole thing in collaboration with its patsies in Kiev? And the whole schmalzy story about forewarning Russia was, in fact, a cover story intended to hide CIA’s and Ukraine’s complicity in this horrendous crime.

ANOTHER BLOWBACK FROM FAILED U.S. FOREIGN POLICY: INSTEAD OF COLLABORATING WITH RUSSIA, AS PUTIN PROPOSED IN 2007, THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION CHOSE COMPETITION; NOW THEY ARE PANICKING IN WASHINGTON AS THE RUSSIANS SURGED AHEAD IN NEW SPACE-BASED NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGIES
-
Trump’s campaign trail claim that he would encourage Russia to attack U.S. allies in Europe if they failed to spend enough on their defense pact set off fresh tremors in Washington and Europe. European politicians were already worried about America’s reliability as an ally in a potential second Trump administration. And here’s the kicker. And the reason panic is spreading among the until self-appointed “rulers of the world.” This time around,…

One day after Tucker Carlson’s record-setting interview with the Russian president Putin was published, one could hear screams all over the western media. Because someone has just told the truth about how corrupt the halls of power are in the American political system. US presidents are mere figureheads. It is the unelected officials around them who serve the interests of the so-called “deep state” – the “gray eminences” who wield the…

Yesterday’s “liberals” have morphed into today’s anarchists or terrorists. And since the “liberal” administrations across the country and in Washington condone this type of violence, some even inspire them, what does that make them? STATE TERRORISTS, of course. The Mob. Organized criminal enterprises.

After 50 years of flying around the world on various airlines, most of them with American, I did not think that there was a trick in the book the airlines could use to pull the wool over my eyes. I was wrong. They’ve got me. Today, quite by accident, I stumbled upon a fraudulent scheme which American have been evidently using for years. (Shame on me that I only now found…

NATO is getting loaded for bear – the Russian Bear. Will that lead to a nuclear confrontation? Only God knows the answer to that. One thing is for sure. we have never been closer to World War III since the end of the last world war. The saber-rattling between NATO and Russia in Europe is reaching a high pitch. Both Washington and Moscow are playing a “Russian roulette” with the fate…

Neither side So it’s the old Ukrainian song and dance: “Give us more weapons and we will keep supplying the cannon fodder for the offensive.” The Russian generals are not much better. Nor is Putin. Neither side gives a rat’s ass about human life. Just as Hitler, Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt did not in World War II. Or Johnson and Nixon in Vietnam. Or the various Israeli leaders in Palestine. Or…

Devastating earthquakes, like the February 6 one in Turkey and Syria, are caused by shifting of tectonic plates. In other words, we all live on an unstable ground. It’s just that some of us are farther away from cracks than others. Do you know where the nearest fault line is to your home? That is one of the criteria this writer had used in the past in selecting the places where…

Russian president promised not to kill Zelensky – former Israeli PM This is unbelievable. And it confirms what we have been suspecting all along – that Putin is a traitor to his country. How many tens of thousands of Russian lives could he have saved had he killed this snake and taken Kiev in the first month of the offensive as was the military plan? (not to mention tens of thousands…

RUSSIANS ARE THE NEW JEWS OF EUROPE Thanks to Hitler, the Jews have managed to make “antisemite” a dirty word. Now, it is time the world added a new item to its dirty word vocabulary – “anti-Russian.” Why? What the UK and the EU governments are doing with Russian assets in Europe is not only evil, just as what Hitler did with Jewish properties, it is a dangerous precedent. It opens…

THE RICH GET RICHER, THE POOR GET POORER, THE MIDDLE CLASS SHRINKS This week, the global “elite” are meeting again in Davos, a posh Swiss ski resort, for their annual shindig about global economy. And about how to get richer yet. In their honor, the anti-poverty charity Oxfam issued a new report which showed that over the past two years, the richest 1% have amassed close to two-thirds of all new wealth…

Even the Wall Street Journal now concedes defeat – admits globalism is dead Yesterday’s edition of the Wall Street Journal read like an epitaph to the New World Order. Since this was done through charts with just some footnotes, it was a short and effective way to pronounce that a 32-year global experiment is finally DEAD. Alas, the Truth in Media had written such an epitaph 23 years ago when this…

SEXISM AND DUPLICITY THE BRITISH WAY BRAINWASHING AND DUMBING DOWN THE NATION THE AMERICAN WAY DICTATORSHIP OF MINORITIES REVISITED A true democracy means MAJORITY rule. What we have in today’s perverted world of sexism is a dictatorship of minorities. I first wrote about that over 25 years ago in my 1997 Washington Times column “Dancing ‘Round Golden Calves.” Every comment is still valid today, some even more magnified. Here are the opening…

BANALITY OF DEATH: WHAT’S A FEW THOUSAND LIVES HERE, A FEW THOUSAND THERE… The preceding was an excerpt from daily news for Sep 24. It boggles one’s mind how casually the leaders of Ukraine and Russia talk about the losses of their soldiers. Like they are counting sacks of potatoes. Yet each one of those deaths leaves a grieving family somewhere in those two countries. And inspires thousands more to be…

It has been years since I walked along the walls of the Kalemegdan fortress. This Turkish structure built on the walls of the Roman city (Singidunum) has always symbolized the indestructibility and resilience of the Serbian nation. After a 500-year darkness under the Turkish sultans and pashas, the Serbs threw off the Ottoman yoke in early 19th century and created their own kingdom. Kalemegdan became a symbol of Serbian victories over…

UTTER DISREGARD FOR BIKE RIDERS AND PEDESTRIANS Let’s sum it up. In Belgrade, bike riders and pedestrians are like dirt. Free game for builders and drivers. The communist mindset which puts machines ahead of the individuals and nature is still present. Twenty years ago, a Serbian politician (Djindjic) tried to be different. His government built this beautiful bike path and opened the river to the citizens of Belgrade. Alas, it was…

THE “EU” WAS HITLER’S IDEA SHOVED DOWN THE THROATS OF EUROPEANS AS A PANACEA BY THE US AND ITS EURO-VASSALS SUCH A CENTRALIZATION OF POWER IS REGRESSIVE BY DEFINITION AND CANNOT BE SUSTAINED IN THE INFORMATION ERA The creation of the European Union has been the biggest marketing coup and the worst PR fraud ever perpetrated in the history of business and mankind. This writer hinted at that his articles in…

PUTIN’S SPEECH: LIKE A TRUTH IN MEDIA EDITORIAL Putin speech at an international business forum in St Petersburg, which brought together thousands of companies from Russia and from around the world, sounded like a plagiarism of Truth in Media editorials. Which, I supposed, should be a compliment?

JOE BIDEN IS NOW ASKING CONGRESS FOR ANOTHER $33 BILLION TO FIGHT RUSSIA Joe Biden today asked Congress for an additional $33 billion to provide Ukraine with more ammunition, artillery and other supplies, as Western nations continued to funnel heavy weapons to Kiev, fueling fears that the conflict might widen in unpredictable ways.

THE RICH GET RICHER, THE POOR GET POORER, THE MIDDLE CLASS SHRINKS I first said it publicly in 1994: America is a plutocracy. Over the years that followed, I repeated this warning in a number of Truth in Media, Annex Research and Washington Times columns (in 1996, 1997, 1998). I dubbed these Plutocrats – the
