Setting the Scene.   Consultants are people/firms that are hired to divorce an organisations internal politics from a result and quite often, consultants bring with them a differential focused expertise in the area requiring their expert attention.   There’s an accepted modus operandi for consultancy firms in business, “When you get hired, look for more [...]

Koltai’s Redneck Conundrum

By Tom Koltai

Today we present a point of view that will offend many, please few, but will attempt balance the mainly conservative viewpoints and opinions that Perceptric strives for.   “Conservative? Hah!” I can hear from the peanut gallery. “Conservative my arse! Koltai you’re nothing but a leftwing Bolshevist commie agitator.”   Thank-you.  You are right on [...]

“Habeus Corpus” Died This Week. (The Body of Justice)

By Tom Koltai

The latest craze (meme) on Facebook is co-op farming. The backbone mainstay of the communist co-operatives and Israeli Kibutzes, localized farms have proven to be vital when attempting to provide food for a decentralized population (more than 5 miles from the food growing establishment (farm, dairy, piggery, hatchery, etc)       What about Coles, [...]

P2P, Disempowering Terrorists.

By Tom Koltai

I had an epiphany the other day….   For years we have been told that file sharing is illegal. That music piracy is the tool of the Terrorist gangs and is their major source of financing.   The content industry has always calculated 15% as the value attributed to physical piracy. This allowance is entered [...]

Media Defender’s Rip off Music Industry.

By Tom Koltai

It’s interesting that the Music Industry is claiming damages per file download.

Imagine if….

By Tom Koltai

Conspiracy Theories or Just Plain Conspiracies

By Chris Gilbey

There are plenty of theories on the Internet. And there are plenty of conspiracies too… Here is a story about a very well connected, successful Jewish guy who became an Ambassador for the US Government, and then, because he took a centrist view of life and thought that all nations should be treated equally, his [...]

Martial Law In The US?

By Chris Gilbey

If it was just in some random blog, you's have to think, “Ah – another nutty conspiracy theory”. But this time it is in what you would have to say is at least a reasonably credible mainstream media outlet, albeit regional: The Phoenix Business Journal. Earlier this week there was an article reporting on a [...]

The Times They Are A Changin

By Chris Gilbey

I was reading Ambrose Evans-Pritchard's column in the Telegraph (the UK paper, not the Australian one) this morning. It brought home to me how fortunate we, who live in Australia, are. But it also underlines how blase we are too. Most people in Australia have no idea of the potential of the Madoff scam in [...]
