As the sun sets over America, the world is watching and hoping and praying for a miracle. Will the land of the free, founded on the blood of valiant heroes who laid down their lives to have a Nation for free men, liberty and justice for all, fall to the almighty power of the machine? Or will it rise in triumph because of the belief in the ALMIGHTY?

Either way, America, as it has been known for centuries, is dead. And there is no coming back from this death by a thousand cuts. 

While the West wages war on coal, hydro-carbons power China’s industrial and military might.

China uses massive amounts of coal to generate electricity, smelt metals and manufacture cement - they generate almost twice as much electricity as the USA, and two thirds of that is coal-powered.

The Story of the Judgement of King Solomon is well known. Two women, each claiming to be the mother of an infant, appeal to the King for his Judgement. He rules that the baby should by cut in half and one half given to each woman.

This morning I went to the supermarket. It is a sleepy little area, on the coast and always easy to find parking. I pulled in alongside a scruffy looking campervan – the sort of thing that the local surfers live in while they search out the next wave.

I was absolutely delighted when my brother sent me $1000 for Christmas. It was a " knees up Mother Brown moment ". Apparently, it would be landing in my Paypal account imminently. My long awaited back up hard drive was ordered; the few cases of chardy were delivered and I indulged myself with a few " goodies " that I would otherwise not have had. 

Alas, it all came crashing down yesterday when I learned that paypal has mysteriously lost the money and my brother and self are somehow bereft of a grand and I am now in a situation where I have had to roll out the dreaded BLACK BUDGET to claw back my expenditure and had to explain to my cat why she and I are on rations for the next month or three in order to wait while Paypal undergoes a forensic audit of its accounts - much like the one conducted in America in the recent elections.
