Introduction During late 2025 and early 2026 the writer posted a number of relatively controversial items on Facebook, relating in large part to a deep dive into the history of Islam and the West, along with contemporary politics, such as the reign of President Donald Trump. These, and other issues were part of a reconsideration of decades of personal belief and action which, following the COVID-19 outbreak, the implementation of the radical transgender agenda, and the rise of WOKE, brought about a rethink in regard to personal politics and beliefs. Outside of this political miasma was a renewal of spiritual thought around Christianity and Buddhism, as part of an general consideration of consciousness. All of this led to, as stated, the posting of thoughts in Facebook. Some of these are reproduced below, with associated comments. Links to the videos posted with the comments are also include. ------------------- * UFOs? 7.1.26 UFOs? ..... Between 9.30 - 10pm tonight I sat out th...

These words, as uttered by Rebecca Brown Good, will haunt all those who hear them and see the result, namely, the death of her partner Renee Nicole Macklin Good, a 37 year old American woman, a Christian, poet, and mother of three, including 15 and 6 year old sons and a 12 year old daughter.

The words "Drive baby, drive, drive!" were uttered by Rebecca to Renee as the former stood by the passenger side door of their car about to get in, and upon seeing and hearing an ICE officer attempt to extract Renee from the driver's seat of their Honda Pilot SUV and arrest her. This was after the officer had ordered Renee to get out of the car so it could be removed from its obstructive position in the middle of Portland Road. As soon as she refused to obey this order, she technically creat...

[Draft of article for the 2026 Film Studies conference, Melbourne] The promise of cinema, 1896 (top) / 2026 (bottom).   Screening in the streaming age - when too much is not enough! Michael Organ ....... Abstract : Film screening has come a long way from the days of the Edison Kinetoscope in the 1890s when a viewer had to manually turn a handle and look down a telescope-style tube, from silent to sound in the 1930s, black and white to colour, nitrate to celluloid, 16mm to 70mm Panavision, and from the projection era of the twentieth century on to non-physical, digital means of access such as television, optical media - video tape, laser disc, DVDs - and streaming in the new millennium, with the latter two largely removing the need to visit a cinema in order to experience film. In all instances, the technology has continued to evolve, from mechanical to digital, from physical to online. All the while, access has continued to improve ..... or has it? This is the question th...
