- The Bleak Future of Energy Consumption
According to the Economist, America’s Energy Information Administration released its annual International Energy Outlook and forecast that the world’s consumption of energy would increase by a whopping 57% between 2004 and 2030.
And the developed world’s days of taking heat for being such a big consumer of energy are on the way out—the carbon emissions of [...]
- COIN in Canada
Interesting events in the Great White North today. It’s like a mini-lesson in COIN.
How a few activists are holding B.C. hostage
Militant poverty activists target the homes and offices of officials in protest of the 2010 Olympics. Reaction: “...there are suggestions that the city is being held as a virtual hostage.”Stop trains or natives will: chiefs

- Paper-pushers
A few weeks ago I introduced intel blog Kent’s Imperative. They kindly replied with a welcome message that made reference to a comment I made about “paper-pushing spooks.” In many other fields being a paper-pusher is usually considered ineffectual, but not in the intel business. I think Neil Burnside, a character from the best damn [...]
- Coming Anarchy Coming Home
For the first time since we three at ComingAnarchy have been blogging together, all of us have returned to family homes in North America. It’s temporary, and we’ll all be back to regular schedules shortly, but bear with us if posting is light this week.
- Soldier of Africa
Via Hidden Unities comes the amazing Soldier of Africa blog about a South African infantry major on assignment in Darfur (or formerly in Darfur, now back home). It’s interesting not only because of the first-hand insight, but also because of the inter-African viewpoint, such as South Africans fascinated by camels, a common fixture in [...]
- Travelogue Teaser

After Montenegro I went briefly to Croatia and then on to Germany having decided to skip Bosnia (which I’ve already been) in favor of spending the extra money I had (and didn’t expect to still have) on a flight home. [...]
- Zoroastrian Hindus
Thanks to Dr. Alfred Russel Wallace for this fascinating online article on Zoroastrian Hindus in modern-day Azerbaijian from a travelogue dating from the 1920s, translated and posted by Soli Dastur.
About hundred to two hundred years ago, our Hindustan used to have a very good trade with the Central Asian cities like Samarkand, Bokhara, etc. Also, [...]
- Presenting Version Three
Welcome back.
We moved servers and concurrently have released Coming Anarchy: Version Three (CAv3). I hope you find the new design easier to read and use. For those that are interested I have included a detailed report on the update design process below the jump. Feel free to read it and leave your input (positive or [...]
- A vision of the West Bank’s Future
UPDATE: Man, what is up with Reuters? “A Hamas member was shot and critically wounded in the Gaza Strip on Thursday despite a ceasefire between the rival factions, Hamas said.” Actually, every news report I’ve read is that the ceasefire was “unilateral” by Hamas. What’s more, Fatah has separately accused Hamas gunmen of [...]
