Satori by Don Winslow This literary gem is kinda like the thinking man’s Bond. It might make you feel that Jason Bourne has now met Indiana Jones. Satori is an espionage thriller of the highest calibre that will leave you gasping for more. The novel is based on Trevanian’s (Rodney Whitaker) novel, Shibumi, which Don […]
Temujin was a Mongolian chieftain who became one of the greatest and most influential rulers the world has ever known. Not bad for a lad who lived in poverty for many years and escaped from imprisonment in a wooden cage. He went on to unite the tribal confederations of Mongolia, and shaped them into the […]
In this brief video, we get a look at some of the most incredible and dangerous roads in the world. They span the Andes, the mountains of China and the deserts of Australia to name but a few. They are so bad as to be almost as precarious as those to be found in south […]

From women’s and LGBT rights, to the abandonment of the caste system, to free health care, the Keralan state government is miles ahead of the rest of the nation. India is second only to China in terms of population, […]
Closer ties between Russia and China is inevitable in face of growing US aggression across the globe. I foresee the formation of a global military bloc including the aforementioned two, but also including Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Cuba, Brazil (possibly), Indonesia and Turkey among others. Such a bloc is today necessary in countering the […]
The following article from Sputnik deals with a proposed water project in the Dead Sea that would mean water being pumped from the Red Sea into the Dead Sea to alleviate water shortages in the region.

It will take radical change to improve the living conditions for […]
It’s stating the obvious to say that Syria is truly a mess. The Russians are helping the Syrians, as are the Iranians. The US is helping the Kurds and ‘moderate’ terrorist grouping such as Al-Nusra. Israel are also helping the same terrorist organisations in an attempt to topple Assad. The Kurds are under attack from […]
