Random Musings on Current Events 2.24.23

Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in the media from behind the lines in an increasingly blue state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format.

It is President’s Day and we have, for some reason, combined Abraham Lincoln’s Birthday with George Washington’s Birthday and call it President’s Day. I am not sure if we are supposed to honor both Presidents, all Presidents, or just Presidents on this day. When I was young there was a distinction between Lincoln and Washington with us always getting Washington’s Birthday off as a holiday. Why this changed I know not because it happened when I was too busy either serving in the military, going to school or raising a family. Now I must ask, “What was wrong with the old way? Why did it change?” I bet it was for some woke bull pucky reason. Call me cynical but there seems to be a lot of that going around.

The West Palestine disaster just seems to be getting worse by the day and FEMA is only reluctantly becoming involved after two weeks and a growing chorus of people questioning the executive response to the disaster. A disaster that is looking more and more a case of negligence at best and nefarious at worst. Reports of the train not having proper placards, the EPA changing rules on vinyl chloride just weeks before the derailment, reports of Norfolk Southern not performing proper maintenance on their rail equipment, a toxic atmospheric plume spreading east while a toxic water plume spreads east and south into the Ohio and Mississippi River basins. What is true and what is fake I do not know because, quite frankly, my cup of cynicism hath runneth over and is spreading like toxic waste.

As if to insult to injury I woke up one day this past week and President Biden made a “surprise” visit to Kiev, Ukraine with an offer of another half a billion dollars in aid. Had President Biden made a trip to East Palestine, Ohio yet? No and in fact I learned Pete Buttigieg is making a visit to the town but only after President Trump visited the town.

Speaking of East Palestine, Ohio I am slowly learning that in addition to the release of hydrogen chloride and phosgene gas as a byproduct of burning vinyl chloride another far worse byproduct are dioxins and we are hearing nothing of these. These result from the incomplete combustion byproducts of burning vinyl chloride. I also learned there were empty rail cars ready in order to transfer the partial contents of remaining vinyl chloride prior to it being lit on fire. What the heck happened and is going on with respect to this incident. For those who do not know dioxins are a multi-generational poison that will affect mothers, soon to be mothers, and the off spring of young girls. Think Love Canal and other places where dioxins have been released. I smell criminal negligence in the air.

Hey US Department of Defense! Your primary function is to defend the homeland not the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. F*ck that you feckless, treasonous, apparatchiks!

Speaking of being F*cked. Seriously, Sean Penn? Spiccolli? Talks about the poster child for all that is wrong in Hollywood and its deranged and demented culture. Hey Sean! Why don’t you go crawl back into whatever hole you came out of instead of being a Neocon spokes mouth like Lindsey Graham. In fact, I must wonder if you are on the payroll of the Biden Crime Family?

May you rest in peace Bishop David O’Connell. A 69 year old man who died of an “apparent” gunshot wound. A man who “worked to restore trust between inner-city residents and law enforcement,..”. So many questions run through my mind the foremost being how come an apparent Mexican style shooting of a clergy member has happened in my country? Should I be surprised that something like this has happened in Los Angeles? I have known the direction that the city and state of California were going but now it appears to be in the open. Has the Sinaloa or Cartel Jalisco New Generation or one of their proxies in California openly declared war? So many questions, yet again, and yet not enough answers. 

God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere in between. Additionally, forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.

Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in the media from behind the lines in an increasingly blue state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format.

It seems the Chinese Communist Party or a hobbyist has launched another balloon, however, this time it was shot down near the Aleutian Islands just as soon as it entered United States airspace and now yet another balloon has been shot down over Lake Huron. I have to ask why is the Air Force wasting missiles shooting these down? Why can’t they use canons to shoot these down? Am I missing something? Wouldn’t shooting down the balloons with canons be a great training opportunity and cost much less?

I watched the Super Bowl but did not watch the half time show but instead chose to play cards with family. Evidently, I did not miss much after reading the reports of the show and it did not surprise me considering the state of entertainment in the nation.

I have to ask why there is a Black National Anthem (This will be the last time I capitalize this item to avoid the appearance of legitimizing it.) and why it was allowed to be played at the Super Bowl? For me it is nothing but divisive to allow it to be played. Has there and is there discrimination based on race? Yes, there is no disputing this fact but now we are allowing a parallel anthem to be played alongside our national anthem? Think about the impact this has on the country. Yet again I must wonder why I am watching and supporting the NFL? This playing of the black national anthem has nothing to do with uniting the country and everything to do with dividing the country. In fact, I have to wonder if the Chinese are behind and supporting the groups or whatnot that insisted the black national anthem be played at the beginning of the game. After all, Lebron James was in attendance and somehow crowned himself king of something and everyone knows he is a shill for the CCP along with the NBA. Also, let us not forget that the Han Chinese are a very racist ethnic group as is I would imagine LeBron James is as well.

I am getting caught up on the train car derailment, spill, and burning of the toxic vinyl chloride in East Palestine, Ohio news and have more questions than answers at this time. Least of which is why was over a 100,000 pounds of a substance that when burned releases phosgene gas, hydrogen chloride, and other toxic substances allowed to happen and, in fact, dictated to happen? Yet again the public relations around this incident are eerily similar to the public relations surrounding the Three Mile Island nuclear incident that occurred over a generation ago in Pennsylvania. We have a dangerous substance that control over was lost (leak), the owners who lost control telling us everything is OK, and the state and federal government trying to catch up and repeat the talking points of the owner(s). All the while independent reports of residence reporting dead wildlife, the Ohio National Guard arresting independent journalists, and other incidents that point to a cover up and or repression of facts are ongoing. I will say again and will say again and again it does not matter what anyone in leadership does, necessarily, appearances can mean everything which is why our leaders should hold themselves up beyond reproach. Will they? I doubt it in today’s environment.

One fact that I do know is that rail transport falls under the purview and regulation of the United States Department of Transportation and that perhaps the Secretary of Transportation should spend a little more time learning about transportation in the country rather than speaking empty platitudes about race, sexual proclivities and “equity”. This is just yet another incident in a growing list of incidents that shows Mr. Buttigieg is nothing more than an empty suit who was hired because of the political party that he belongs to and because of his homosexuality because it certainly had nothing to do with his experience or competence or his willingness to learn what his job really entails. Not only that it appears he is a chicken sh*t along with the Governor of Ohio, and Norfolk Southern executives who refused to attend the East Palestine, OH townhall.

Moving along as the week progressed there have been a few more “toxic incidents”, for lack of a better descriptor. A tanker truck with acid rolling over in Tucson, Arizona, a large amount of plastic planters burning near Orlando, Florida, and another train derailing near Detroit, Michigan for instance that I am aware of. A few years ago I began to see the pattern of organization behind the near simultaneous and scripted release of news by the main stream media, then the “spontaneous” race riots, and now I am getting a niggling sense that these “chemical release accidents” seem to be happening in a coordinated manner. A few years ago I would have dismissed this unsubstantiated intuitive feeling as nonsense. However, this intuitive feeling was proven right as evidence the FBI and DOJ have been colluding with main stream media and big tech, the obvious preplanning and staging for the “spontaneous” ANITFA riots in the Summer of Love along their attempts this past month in response to the Memphis police atrocity. So, therefore, why would it be a stretch to imagine these toxic incidents happening within a short time of each other are not a coordinated attack of sorts.

Of course, let me back up, I must remember, that the ruling globalist elites that currently run our government would never do anything to harm our citizenry. After all, they were not responsible for the release of a man made genetically altered Covi-SARs virus, the subsequent economy crushing lockdowns, and the pushing of an untested new technology to be injected into billions of people. Nah, they are completely benevolent and spend all of the money that we are forced to send them in the guise of taxes at the point of a gun in a benevolent manner.

In conclusion, this week I am grappling with a fundamental problem that we face in the United States. Currently, it seems as if I am yelling into an echo chamber much as many of the people who agree with me on various podcasts, blogs, Substacks etc. seem to be doing. While those who believe the tripe being peddled by the mainstream media etc. are yelling into their own echo chambers. Of course, I would like to think that I bring reason, cause and effect, and logic to my conclusions after shaking free of the hypnotic effect of the “mainstream”. Therefore, a fundamental problem, as I see it, is how does one break the hypnotic power of big tech and the mainstream media? Perhaps I need to look inside to determine how I was able to break free and somehow share this process? I know there are many other ways and fortunately many are working this problem. It just seems to me there are more ways that just have not been revealed to me yet? I will continue to pray, discuss, and meditate on this problem in the coming days, weeks, months, and years if need be.

God bless America, all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere in between. Additionally, forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.

Random Musings on Current Events 2.10.2023

Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in the media from behind the lines in an increasingly blue state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format.

I watched the State of the Union Address put on by Joe Biden earlier in the week and was completely underwhelmed with all of the typical empty promises and empty platitudes. Yes it was essentially a campaign speech that pandered to his constituency. What impressed me is how amped up good ol’ Uncle Joe was. I have never seen his eyes so focused and set. Was it me or did his eyes seem a bit more recessed than usual and his brows permanently screwed tight? He certainly had practiced his speech even rising his voice at least twice in an almost dictatorial manner. I wonder if he watched some Adolf Hitler speeches in his preparation because there certainly were eerily some similarities.

It certainly seems colder in my part of the world this winter and from what I read it seems that way in other parts of the world as well. I am hearing second hand accounts of colder that usual summers in the Southern Hemisphere and cannot help but wonder about global warming and climate change. I will agree that there has been some climate change in the last year but is it because of the extra trip I took to the grocery store this week using my internal combustion engine driven vehicle? Something tells me that the likelihood of it being a result of the ejection of dust particles up 180,000 feet into the atmosphere by the Hua Tonga Tonga volcano nearly thirteen months ago (January 2022) may have had something to do with this change.

I am amazed that the price of natural gas and oil has plunged in the recent weeks. What is up with that? There are no elections looming on the immediate horizon despite the election industry already trying to ramp up its hype. The war in the Ukraine continues to grind on and despite the Chinese being allowed to send a surveillance balloon all the way across North America there appears to be no ramp up in tensions between the Chinese and the corrupt ruling elites who are in bed with the Chinese in the United States. What else could be happening here? Could there be a decline in demand for oil and gas coming from the industrial sector of the economy? Geez, this has me puzzled.

God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere in between. Additionally, forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.

Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in the media from behind the lines in an increasingly blue state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format.

The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, is spouting and supporting a push within the California Legislature to restrict conceal carry laws because of the most recent mass shootings in the golden state. First, why does California have a full time legislature and for that matter why does the United States have a full time Congress? Secondly, I get that Gavin Newsom is a psychopath as is many who desire to become full time legislatures. They love the power and the ability it gives them to operate above the law and the ability it gives them to bend the law to their will. What gets me is why are Californian’s putting up with this? How and why did Californian’s submit to this band of psychopathic sociopaths who have destroyed the state government and as a result made it intolerable for free men and women to live in the state? It certainly is something to ponder.

ANITFA is rioting in several major cities across the United States because of the much anticipated release of the police body cam footage of the Memphis police who killed a young man three weeks ago. This killing has provided an excuse for the leftists to riot and I am not exactly sure why they are rioting. Because the six Memphis policemen involved in the killing are African American, have been fired, and are now being charges with murder one cannot argue that it was racially motivated with any merit to their argument. Is it to keep our minds off the escalation in Ukraine? Is it to keep our minds focused on something other than the release of the Paul Pelosi attack video? Is it to keep our attention away from Pfizer? Or could it just be the leftists have decided to go for it no matter the consequences or who knows? One thing for certain I saw from a report in one of the citizens was a sign calling for the end of capitalism and espousing the virtues of socialism while they attack businesses.

It appears yet again that the “spontaneous” protest and rioting across the nation in response to the Memphis killing is indeed coordinated and planned. I have read reports of notices being put out, equipment being staged, and protesters shuttling about the country across state lines to incite and play part in the riots in advance of the well-publicized release of the video late in the day on a Friday. These rioters are breaking business windows and destroying the means of livelihood of these business owners and their employees. So far, I have heard of no one being hurt or killed but I would imagine the possibility is running high. There is no doubt in my mind that it is incumbent upon the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other Federal offices to devote a large portion of their resources to root out the conspiracy behind this outrage against business and working class Americans!!! It would be an absolute outrage if they did not.

I have not been reading or listening to a whole lot of news this week because I have been too busy preparing for my day job projects and in one case actually doing work for a project. Additionally, I am repairing a vehicle that was damaged. It is amazing how when I am busy doing actual work how little time there is for watching and commenting on political bull s*it. Quite honestly it feels good to use my hands to repair a car and my mind to calculate and delve deep into design and operational work, in other words, geek out on engineering related tasks. Perhaps this is part of the problem with the world. Too few people (and the numbers I would imagine are growing smaller) understand the joy of creating or repairing something to make it useful and functional.

I sit here typing and wonder what “crisis” will next be created by the tyrannical minority to exert more control over my life. Whether the crisis that is created be to take more control over my finances in the guise of a digital currency, a terrorist attack to pass a revised and updated Homeland Security Act, a man made pandemic to pump a whole lot of money into the markets and essentially create a soft socialist takeover of the economy or what? Perhaps it is Chinese balloons, the unemployment rate lowering more than anticipated or whatever else the sociopaths dream up.

God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere in between. Additionally, forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.
