Tarot interview
In case anyone’s interested: www.tarotguild.com/events/tarot-today-radio-jeanmichel I’ll probably add other comments ‘post-event’ to this very entry… Interview went well enough… except that the software which recorded it totally corrupted the audio file (hmmm… perhaps there was feedback that showed I have posted against Adobe’s Flash). … so I guess it’s back to the drawing board!

Australian ‘Greens’ – what an unfortunate stinking joke
OK – I’ll admit it. I too was conned in the past and in fact in a number of previous State and Federal elections voted, as second or even first preference, Greens. This was before Adam Bandt proved, by both his actions and his involvements, that the various rumours that had been circulating with regards…

Why I voted NO to Labor in Victorian State election
Perhaps I should begin by coming out clean with regards to my own political leanings – and ‘leanings’ are all they are. I tend towards individual liberalism with a ‘social conscience’. In practical terms, this means that there are a number of areas in which, over the course of the history of Australian political parties,…

Victorian elections 2010
Just curious… not so much about which side of politics we may each vote for, but rather the kinds of issues or processes we go through prior to voting… Please answer honestly if participating 🙂 Poll Please note that all answers below are randomly ordered.

Hey, UNESCO! Rachel’s Tomb in Israel is NOT a mosque!
This is just another step showing how dysfunctional UNESCO and the UN in general have become. To classify Rachel’s Tomb in Israel as a mosque shows that it has become no more than a rubber stamp for islamicists. It’s about time that nations spoke clearly about the fundamental failure of the high ideals that UNESCO…

Devaluing human nature
I came across a report of a recent conference that raises more concerns… here’s the nuts-and-bolts of it: The Conference, as mentioned, was held on the 22nd and 23rd of October (a couple of weeks ago). I’m not sure how long the video will stay online (it’s a nuisance in any case, as it’s flash-based…

‘Triumph of the Tea Party’
Having recently mentioned (a couple of posts ago) The Daily Bell as one of the few socio-economic-political subscriptions I value, it was pleasing to read a quote with which I can only concur. Arriving back at Heathrow late on Sunday night I felt – as you do on returning to Britain these days – as…

‘The Anti-Semite’s Pointed Finger’
In the latest issue of Commentary Magazine, Ruth Wisse writes on the ongoing anti-semitism and concludes with an(other) insightful point: […] Anti-Semitism works through the strategy of the pointing finger. Through political prestidigitation, the accuser draws attention away from his own sins—in the case of Arab leaders, the systematic oppression and immiseration of their own…

Socio-political links added
It may perhaps seem obvious from some of my posts that I tend more towards a libertarian approach to politics. Yet, I will suggest, this appearance is based more on the current ‘labels’ available. So where do I stand? Rudolf Steiner, in his writings on the social order, talked of its inherent threefold nature, each…

Now THAT’s a camera!!!
Having recently returned from an overseas trip and bemoaning the lack of a good camera (though we did have a small and quite reasonable ‘travelling’ one at hand: a compact panasonic Lumix), I could not help but check to see whether the Leica M9, which is definitely out of my price range, was finally available……
Got any book recommendations?
