The Journey of Life and Reflection
by Alastair R Agutter (Computer Scientist, Designer, Engineer, Creative Artist, Business Founder, Author, Musician and Songwriter.)
In my short time of life and now in my 67th year, it has been a journey of discovery, heartbreak, setbacks and success! And through the ages, many have walked the same, or similar paths, whilst on life's journey. At the time of setbacks when younger, such events are all so often troubling and seemingly unfair. But as one further travels the journey of life, such memories and reflection reveals positives, as well as negatives.
Today in my more senior years I find myself reflecting with many fond memories, as well as sad events that I can never ignore, or discard. But what I have found is how to accept and face realities of the past in all their many mysterious forms.
And as I evaluate and meet life's challenges today, whilst continuing on life's journey in my more final years of physical life. I must be honest and question the wiring and thought patterns, the direction in other words, the journey the human story is currently travelling.
Speaking honestly, I hold onto the memories of my life back in the 1960's and 1970's to retain my sanity, reflecting on a time more innocent, simpler, and I suppose and know more honest. Back then taking up fishing as a small boy of 7 years of age, I could be out all day fishing and with no one to trouble me, only folk often asking with a friendly smile... "if I have I caught anything" along the seafront where I fished.
They were days and times, even on a bank holiday, alone as a small boy going or coming back from fishing, where I could walk through over 30,000 mods and rockers with their bikes and Lambretta's, and with no one to trouble me.
Sadly, very sadly, we cannot say that about society today, it being safe. We dare not even let our kids out of sight. I often question and ask, how have we arrived at this point?
Our world today deeply troubles me, regarding the direction it is taking. Seemingly driven by money at all costs and for what! A wealth of money is of no use, if you cannot survive or live as a result of Climate Change. And it has to be said, only a total nutter denies such reality.
Failing to accept such reality and with other lunatics wanting to make war, to kill and destroy, are not the traits of persons with stable rational minds. And we across the world in all societies, however different and diverse, must surely come to recognize that such madness and insanity is unwelcomed, destructive turmoil.
History reveals and unmasks our short-comings in all it's nakedness. And a wise student in life, will always study and reflect on the past, for such knowledge and enlightenment can very often determine ones future, if the faults in the road are recorded and mended.

America and Western Society Under Threat
Before the 2016 US General Election, I wrote an article with grave warnings concerning Donald Trump. Sadly then many Americans bought into Trump's outright lies and deceit, electing him as the 45th President of the United States. As I have mentioned above and always advised, to be a wise student of life, you must always study the past road of history, to try and avoid the many pot-holes on ones journey ahead.
Perhaps now in 2025 as America unravels in chaos, Americans may start to realise that the re-election of a person who is responsible for January the 6th, amounting to sedition and treason, this is the reality and with countless criminal convictions, was not a wise move for the United States, or the entire Western World. History, history I repeat, by studying this individual any American voter of sound mind would realize things simply don't add up when it comes to Trump. No School records, no medical records, no tax declarations the list goes on. But the most damaging, even though this character has been bankrupt 6 times and hopeless in lawful business. But in unlawful business, he is successful as a conman ripping off every person he has ever dealt with, what he deems as art of the deal. But if you are an honourable decent human being that believes in dealing with a straight bat, he deems you to be fair game as weak, or a loser.
The only person that has the right to exist in a Trump world is Donald Trump. As you investigate further into the life of Trump you need to realize why he is such a Putin lover. In the 60's in the USA Trump would of been called a Communist, a commi-lover! Trump spent years in Russia with his Miss World exploits cosying up to the elite rich of Russia, Putin's select few. And the play book Trump has been using on the American people, is one used by Putin.
The biggest threat to Russia and Putin's Imperial ambitions, has always been America as a Super Power. Target number one has always been America. And how Putin has weakened or dissolved other States has been by hollowing out and destroying them from within, making them vassal states. He first started with Russia itself to seize and gain total power. And Trump is doing exactly the same in the United States. Gavin Newsom the Governor of California has publicly stated today, that Trump is a dictator. It is obvious that Trump is Putin's man and puppet.
California is not a failed state, in fact it is the fourth largest economy in the World. Bigger than Germany and others. Trump wants chaos, he wants to gut every institution, he is doing Putin's bidding and work, so American fights amongst itself, leaving it as a weak former Super Power, and as a result making civilization as we know it, vulnerable to the deranged ambitions of Putin and other aligned with Putin's Russia.
Is Trump backing Ukraine? No! Do you think 150 Divisions of Putin's army is going to stop at just Ukraine, if no one is there to stop him. From Trump's treasonous betrayal of the West, Europe will back Ukraine and step in, especially the tri-pack formed with Great Britain, Germany and France, plus another 20 or so Countries of the willing. But it will lead to all out War in Europe to stop Putin.
