Synonym for Leftist

Clueless Elitist. I saw this, and had to respond directly. My answer:

The circus freaks who run the U.S. government

In August 2020, the Washington Post published an opinion piece, “What Americans should learn from Belarus” as part of a flurry of articles setting the narrative that Trump was doomed to lose the election and that he would attempt to seize power by authoritarian means when he did. It directly drew parallels between the BLM …

Fundamental atrophy.

While the war [in Ukraine] is of huge importance geopolitically, it would, however, be misleading to overstate its economic effects, given all the other enormous economic challenges already in place. For example, the Financial Times claims that the war has ‘shattered hopes of a strong global economic recovery from coronavirus’. But this implies that a …

How to Reform Education

As a retired teacher, who experienced a variety of working situations, from very good to unbelievably bad, I developed some ideas about how to both reform the delivered product to American citizens, and how to reduce that cost. Let’s start with the level that is perhaps the most debased from what any sane person would …

Today’s biology lesson.

Here we take a closer look at the rare Siberian fox, Russia’s answer to Bronx Tina or Marjorie Taylor Green: It’s just an image not the usual video link. Click here to go to the South Front page where I found this gem. Sometimes SF pages are unreachable for some strange reason but this link …

Satire to the rescue.

Deranged, loose-cannon Putin: I’m referring, of course, to Putin’s inexplicable and totally unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, a totally peaceful, Nazi-free country which was just sitting there minding its non-Nazi business, singing Kumbaya, and so on, and not in any way collaborating with or being cynically used by GloboCap to menace and eventually destabilize Russia so …

News of the Weird-o

Me. My strange ways of interacting with fellow humanoids caused me no end of torture in childhood. Strange men and boys are tolerated – a little – because of the reputation of scientists of being able to invent something massively profitable (a reputation almost completely undeserved, BTW). But, Nerdy Girls? Nerdy Women? Please! It makes …

The reckless malevolence of the political class.

People intend the natural consequences of their acts. The burgeoning trade deficits are not the result of bad trade deals or ineffective tariff policies. They are the result of a deteriorating U.S. economy which is no longer one of production, but of consumption and debt. A growing economy creates trade surpluses not deficits; it produces …

The Romper Room Narrative.

Since the start of the Thursday Feb.24 invasion [of Ukraine], the prevailing narrative concerning Russia’s motives has been largely limited to an ultra-simplistic hollywoodwesque story that goes something like this: one day a big bully and monster named Putin decided he wanted to invade and kill people in a neighboring country, and that he further …

More on Russian motivation for invasion.

Bernard at Moon of Alabama[1] believes several things informed the Russian decision to invade: Zelinsky’s announcement in spring of 2021 that Ukraine would retake Crimea by force, Ukraine’s announcement in November 2021 that it would retake the Donbass by force, an increase in Febuary 2022 of cease fire violations and “explosions,” “most” coming from the …

Fair assessment?

Volodymyr Zelensky is the current President of Ukraine. He was elected in a landslide victory in 2019 on the promise of easing tensions with Russia and resolving the crisis in the breakaway republics in east Ukraine. He has made no attempt to keep his word on either issue. Instead, he has greatly exacerbated Ukraine’s internal …

What Does Putin Gain From the Damage his Economy is Taking?

If you think about it, he may be clearing out a lot of the Financial Thugs that have stood as a Challenge to his control of Russia. By crashing the money system, and leaving them with little financial reserve, he is clearing the board. Russia is rich in resources; Putin can use them to re-boot …

Solzhenitsyn’s observation.

In his Harvard address in 1978, Solzhenitsyn made a reference to the absence of great statesmen in the west. That has proven all the more to be the case since then. Rule by moral midgets is the rule now. The posturing Trump could not contain his feverish wish to bomb Syria in 2017 and Clinton …

Dugin is exactly right.

What does it mean for Russia to break with the West? It is salvation. The modern West—where the Rothschilds, Soros, the Schwabs, Bill Gates and the Zuckerbergs triumph—is the most disgusting phenomenon in world history. It is no longer the West of Greco-Roman Mediterranean culture, the Christian Middle Ages, or even the violent and contradictory …

Disinformation, or Good Intelligence?

I’m leaning towards Disinformation from the Deep State. One of the problems of a generally educated citizenry is that they might just remember prior acts, and make some reasonable deductions from that history. Spreading rumors is often seen by risk-averse Deep Staters as a safe mechanism to achieve their aims, without having to engage militarily. …

Wise guy alert.

Thank God Trump isn’t President. I was so sick and tired of affordable gas and food. And no wars for 4 years was just too much to handle. Source: The Dank Knight, somewhere on the web.

What passes for intellectual competence.

The Atlantic The Reason Putin Would Risk War. He is threatening to invade Ukraine because he want democracy to fail — and not just in that country. ~ Anne Applebaum.[1] Wasn’t the objective of the 2014 U.S. regime change operation in Ukraine designed to remove the elected president of the country? I mean, I’m just …

This is HUGE

If there had not be the pushback – the outrage, the sharing of memes and stories, the mocking of Trudeau’s ridiculous claims – Canada would still be under Emergency Rules. There are times when I have doubts about how I spend my time. Keeping a hawkeye on the politicians, not only of our country, but …

The Song for the Fall

And, by Fall, I mean – Autumn, not the end of civilization.

The Fraying

     This will be a rather sad piece, I fear. Still, hang in there. You never know when a ray of light might come through the clouds. *** Unreal City,Under the brown fog of a winter dawn,A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many,I had not thought death had undone so many.Sighs, short and infrequent, …
