  • Who blew up the Nordscream Popelines?

    Well, one does have his or her sources … But, honestly, anyone with a brain can solve this no-brainer. For once – Russia has absolutely no interest do to so, as long as the taps and wells that fill those pipelines are on its territory. Secondly – it would be considered a casus belly, an…

  • Why Indians are Too Stupid to Build Toilets – were it not for the Media!

    There has been a ghastly rape in some Indian village. Two girls got raped and later hanged by the perpetrators after “they left their toilet-less home during the night to relieve themselves”. Toilets are not the problem in India … If you believe most of the media, then Indians, despite them being one of the first cultured people…

  • The Swiss Central Bank Conundrum: Fighting Fire with Kerosene

    When the Swiss Franc started appreciating against the Euro (or was it the Euro depreciating against the CHF?) the Swiss National Bank vowed to fight tooth and nail to keep the Swiss Franc at a 1.20 parity “at all cost”. Time to wonder how such a “fight” is fought, whether it can be successful and…

  • The End Game or: How the Dupes were Duped or: The Euro Ten Years on

    The Euro was probably the most hyped-in currency the world may have ever known. That fact alone should have been reason for suspicion. In this article we contrast some of the eulogies heaped on the Euro back in around 2001/2002 when it was introduced as a tangible currency with these past weeks’ near-obituaries.

  • Neutrinos, Physics, Meteors and the Survival of Humankind

    As you may have noticed, CrisisMaven recently dabbled in speculative thought about the role of a universe-wide encyclopedia cum news service. The reason this came about was that recently at the Large Hadron Collider around Geneva/Switzerland and crossing under the French border a team of scientists reported they had reason to believe that neutrinos created…

    Or: Space and the Universe are a Palimpsest . Most recently Israeli archaeologists unearthed a crusader’s inscription believed to be around 800 years old and, which is why it makes headlines, written in Arabic. For those who have followed archaelogical progress over several decades (and reconstructed it from the very beginnings of “modern” archaeology starting…

  • Why Our Future Must Be Solar As Our Past Once Was

    When you put a pot on the hot plate on your stove and switch on the heat – do you not expect the pot to get hot? When you add energy on the earth’s surface to what the sun and geothermal influences already provide would you not expect the earth respectively the atmosphere to get…

  • Politicians of all countries, recollect yourselves!

    Dear politicians, there’s no alternative to forever turning our backs on nuclear energy and fast. Sure, the nuclear industry will protest vigorously and will see profits dwindle but they will survive without much problem – as opposed to many Japanese. It is but a question of time until another country will be hit as well…

  • How I brought down the Nuclear Industry in my Country – and how you can do it in yours …

    The nineteen-seventies were the hey-day of nuclear power. Almost every country, big or small, super-power or developing country, thought they should build as many atomic reactors as possible. And then, all of a sudden, or so it seems, most of these ambitious projects came to a screeching halt. Was it the Three Mile Island accident…
