• Revolutionaries – Robespierre to Mandela ++ Collins, Gandhi

    “Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.” T.E.

  • The Great Gatsby – echoing today’s immorality

    The ‘great American novel’ Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is celebrating its 100 anniversary this week. His take on the excesses of the Neptune in Leo Roaring Twenties has become for many a definitive statement on unaccountable elites today. “They were careless people . . . they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other peop
  • Virginia Giuffre & Prince Andrew – both in crisis

      Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s teenage acquisitions, who won a multimillion-pound payout from Prince Andrew after claiming she was trafficked to have sex with him at the age of 17, appears to be in a crisis.

  • Israel and Palestine – no end in sight to suffering

    Israel’s miliary occupation of Gaza, intended to encourage a mass exodus of the local population, and to pressure Hamas to release the remaining 59 captives, 24 of whom are believed to be alive, has been pushed down the news agenda. Against the protests of hostage families, the ceasefire brokered by Trump’s emissary is fading into memory. The far-right factions in Netanyahu’s cabinet, on whom his political survival depends, oppose moving to the second phase of the ceasefire and

  • Trump tariffs – sound the trumpets for a disaster? ++ Howard Lutnick

    Trump’s grandstanding ‘liberation day’ as he launched a trade war with tariffs for all the world like a gameshow host has fulfilled one of his aims, namely drawing the attention of the world to him.  He timed his bombshell announcement unwittingly with astrological precision at 4pm Washington, DC time. The destructive Fixed Star Algol was exactly conjunct the Midheaven; and the shipwreck Scheat plus unrealistic Neptune were on the cusp of the financial 8th. There was a con

     Actor Val Kilmer, renowned for Top Gun and Batman Forever, has died after a long battle with throat cancer. He gained a reputation as “temperamental, intense, a perfectionist and sometimes egotistical.” Numerous spats with directors and co-stars, plus a series of flops, dented his later career. Batman director Joel Schumacher called Kilmer “the most psychologically troubled human being I’ve ever worked with”.And after the notoriously troubled production o

  • Stock Markets in shock as tariffs loom

    Stock markets across the world fell heavily after Trump suggested that new tariffs he is expected to announce this week would hit “all countries”. An explanatory piece in the FT pointed out he is driven by realpolitik which is practical, not moral or ideological. “If Trump thinks tariffs will help him, he won’t care who they’ll hurt.” On this theory, the dollar has to weaken to support re-industrialisation. He also reckons that “burden sharing betwe
