Pearls of expression.
From one of the best articles you will read about the Covid-19 hysteria and the real agenda of those creating it: In the [unreal] Metaverse, a public health crisis caused by a virus has zero medical advice given out to people, but just a relentless barrage of talk about cases, hospitalisations and deaths, with all …

The death rattles of political legitimacy.
Yes, the 1% now own more wealth than the entire US middle class, a definition traditionally reserve[d] for kleptocracies and despotic African banana republics.[1] This ZeroHedge year end review from which this is taken is well worth your time to read in its entirety. Right after this passage you will find the thought that “the …

The Next Great Migration
In this guy’s case, from SF to Miami. He is eloquent about the problems of urban hellholes from the perspective of upper middle class residents (He doesn’t say whether he is a citizen or a resident; he does refer to his South Asian heritage). His prior enjoyment of his SF environment was relatively superficial, and …

Merry Christmas!
It’s the traditional greeting on December 25, and for a short period of time before. It became popularized in Victorian times, through stories (including the most famous one, a tale of Christian Redemption) and songs. We reserve the use of the word ‘Merry’ in modern life, always teaming it with the holiday. No other holiday …

Sitrep.
The following is an outstanding comment by Sushi on the Moon of Alabama website on whether the present United States government is capable of perceiving certain stark new realities, identifying and assessing options for dealing with them, or prioritizing possible responses. (Those stark new realities are discussed in the article upon which he comments.) Obsessing …

Shoals of life dead ahead!
But without question, Mr. Powell deserves much derision for waiting until inflation reached a multi-decade high before starting to taper asset purchases, let alone begin to raise interest rates off the current level of 0%.[1] There’s much more in this article which taxes my non-existent financial acumen. At some point I suppose I should, like, …

Your starting point for understanding disinformation.
Glenn Greenwald’s excellent take: All that said, there is a core truth — an unintentional one — that lies at the crux of this elite war on “disinformation.” It is absolutely true that U.S. political discourse is drowning in deliberate disinformation campaigns and lies. It is also true that this disinformation epidemic is a serious …

We Started as a Bunch of Snowflakes
Not the Soy-Boy kind, but the fragile, white stuff, that falls individually onto the ground. Many of those flakes quickly disappear, melting away when a little heat is applied. Others stick around. Eventually, should other flakes land near them, they clump together, and become more likely to survive. Gradually, they form a sturdy snowpack. That’s …

The Secret to Successful Lying
It’s not to make up a story that is completely disconnected from reality. That kind of Fantasy Web-Spinning works only with credulous children, and starry-eyed Leftists. No, to be a Good Lie, you have to start with a kernel of truth – but not the WHOLE truth. The video below is a really good example …

Considering Adding Communications to Your Skillset
Those who know me, realize that I’m a big proponent of amateur radio (commonly called Ham Radio). It’s a volunteer-organized, volunteer-run system, that is reachable with less than $100 investment in training and equipment, and is run in a non-hierarchal, ad hoc way. Which makes it the perfect fit for those who mistrust those who …

What’s Next?
I feel as though I need to write this now. Many of my fellow bloggers are posting like they might need to be talked off the ledge, so to speak. If you accept what they write, it’s all but over, and we never even fired a shot. Not that I’m the shooting type. Well, I …

Taking On the Fact-Checkers
A journalist with a good reputation, and some deep pockets is suing Facebook, and their Fact-Checkers. FB choose to use a separate company from FB, apparently under the impression that the hands-length relationship with the Fact-Checkers would give them protection against any consequences. That relationship is what lawyers call an Agency Relationship, and it doesn’t …

An historical insight for the ages.
Much of this reminds me of World War I, the “Great War.” Look up the causes. They are all amorphous. Nationalism. An assassination. Treaties. Diplomatic confusions. The Serbs. Meanwhile none of these reasons can actually account for 20 million dead, 21 million wounded, and wrecked economies and lives all over the world, to say nothing …

Can we all agree on this one simple fact?
Moscow’s behavior has been more a reaction to aggressive moves that the United States and its Ukrainian client have already taken than it is evidence of offensive intent. ~ Ted Galen Carpenter quoted in “Joe Biden, Let’s Not Go To War.” By Sheldon Richman, ZeroHedge, 12/11/21.

A Busy, Busy Day
It’s my own fault. I’ve been putting off some tasks – household, financial, personal – for too long. Today is the day that I have set aside to play catch-up. Starting with posting on my own personal blog more regularly. Today’s post is a mish-mash of random things. That’s the way my mind has been …

“Legal” Theft
And the state in which I still own a house is one of the worst – South Carolina. Now, there is much to love about SC. The people are generally friendly, they have strong family ties, the children are generally quite civil and polite, and the winter temps are a relief, after having lived in …

Watching Independence Day
That movie always makes me cry. I’m at the point when the President – a guy who, although a movie star, really ACTS like a President – is giving the speech that precedes the attack. He talks about how humanity will NOT go quietly, will NOT lie down and die. Very different from today’s “leaders”, …

Patriotism, Or Racism and/or Xenophobia?
I do find it mystifying that love of your country is a GOOD thing, unless the Lover is not a PoC (Person of Color). The thing is, EVERYONE is biased towards the values and culture of the country in which they grew up. We recall the sights and smells and sounds of our life in …

Crushing the Vaccine Dissidents
It’s happening, and not just in Australia. In the USA, it’s happening via the schools, large corporations, and local efforts. The not-that-serious Omicron variant – what you and I would characterize as basically a cold – is being used as an excuse to remove civil rights from dissidents: The right to travel freelyhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/lost-your-job-for-refusing-a-vaccination-mandate-can-you-still-collect-unemployment/ar-AAPhNht The right …
