Random Musings on Current Events 4.26.24

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 front lines of a purple state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format.

Does anyone else wonder why the Communist News Network (CNN) is releasing its exclusive challenging the Pentagon’s narrative of the homicide bomber attack on August 26, 2021, at Kabul’s International Airport? I have written how it was a complete and utter failure of American US military leadership and my questioning of how come not a single senior officer, Secretary of Defense or President Biden have been held to account for this unnecessary tragedy. Now, we learn as matter of fact that the US military changed and left out a full accounting of events on that day. Personally I understand that US Marines may have fired into the crowd as Islamic terrorists were well known for their complex attacks in which a homicide bomber would blow himself up and then as a follow up other terrorists would shoot others in the confusion. So what, fog of war. I still see no one asking for an accounting from or for General McKenzie, his subordinate commanders, Secretary of Defense Austin or President Biden. I still have no faith or confidence, and even less so now, in any of these folk’s leadership.

The sham trial of Donald Trump continues on and, no, I am not following it day to day because I do not have time for this. I am too busy deleting and reporting as spam all of the spam texts and emails from political campaigns asking for my money.

The University of Southern California has canceled its main commencement ceremony due to “ongoing campus protest/unrest”. As if like clockwork The Summer of Love Redux seems to be heating up again exactly four years later. What a coincidence, a presidential election year in which Donald Trump is polling better than Joe Biden. I wonder why USC does not request assistance from local law enforcement to arrest those who are breaking the law like at the University of Texas, Austin did? Perhaps, the USC administrators are afraid it’s leftist faculty will protest much as UT Austin’s leftist faculty did, perhaps the USC administrators are leftists themselves, or maybe they just plain and simply have no backbone to support and defend the rule of law. Funny how USC is a private University as is Columbia, George Washington University, and NYU. Glad that I am not a parent paying tuition to any of these so called institutions of higher learning.

I certainly hope Merrick Garland is charged with contempt of Congress. Will it mean much? Who knows.

I logged onto Facebook for the first time in months yesterday and was inundated with adds featuring young scantily clad women, hopefully not girls, asking to be my friend, chat and blah blah blah with very few posts from my contacts. Evidently these are “AI” generated adds. What a ruthless, greedy, unscrupulous no good group of people at Facebook.

Speaking of election year shenanigans it seems that inflation actually increased based on reports released in the last week. It will be interesting to see what side of the political aisle, if any, the bankers are on in the coming weeks and months. Will the Federal Reserve change their targets to justify lowering interest rates, maintain current interest rates or increase rates which any sane person would do with no political skin in the game. One thing for certain the bankers have no interest in my lifestyle or for that matter whether I live or die. They are only concerned with maintaining their lifestyles and power on the backs of the majority of people.

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

Life has gotten away from me, yet again, the past several weeks and I am finally getting down to do some ramblings, rumblings, and rants.

First off, my condolences and prayers go out to victims, victims’ families and citizens of Moscow, Russia in the aftermath of the tragic “terrorist” attack this past week. No matter who was responsible I think we can all agree that the individuals responsible are followers of those beings who espouse death over life.

The Dali running into the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, the first city destroyed by the D’Alessandro’s, has certainly caught my attention in the last week. Of course the finger pointing and narrative control regarding the cause and responsibility is spinning up and who knows if we will ever really know what caused the ship to run into the bridge. What I can say for certain is a major east coast harbor is going to be shut down for a long time and even longer a major freeway bypass of Baltimore will be shut down for a long time. Like COVID its impacts to the economy will reverberate for years to come. And like COVID we have inept and corrupt politically appointed individuals in charge of the government side of this, for example Transportation Secretary Buttigieg.

I would like to know and perhaps I should investigate if there is any way to report or block the robo texts that I am receiving from political candidates? A few years ago I donated to a candidate once and now I receive more robo texts than I do actual texts from people I know. Quite frankly it is irritating and gives me further reason to not trust the political machine operating in this country.

It seems that Donald Trump has not lost one whit of momentum in his quest to secure yet another nomination for the Republican part in his quest for another term as President. I found it interesting that I was still getting robo texts from Niky Haley before Super Tuesday and could not help but wonder what her or her handler’s agenda really was? Obviously, she is not representing my interests but rather a group of very wealthy individuals.

I am finding it interesting to read U.S. Grant’s first State of the Union Address and how much Sate of the Union addresses have devolved into grandstanding without stating any pertinent facts. Now a days it all seems to be about getting reelected. Joe Biden’s most recent State of Union was a far cry from those of yore and a complete waste of energy, breath, and time, no doubt.

I really find it ironic that Joe Biden and others in the uni-party are commenting that Donald Trump is losing his mental faculties? Yeah, right, whatever. They are back to projecting onto others whatever they are guilty of.

If anyone who reads my posts thinks that I am a fan of Donald Trump and his family please guess again. I really am not considering how readily President Trump pushed Operation Warp Speed and cow towed to the establishment during his first term. For now I will chalk it up to a bit of political naivete or perhaps fear that the CIA and other intelligence agencies would JFK him. Trouble is I really do not know. What I do know is that the stage was set for O’Biden and international interests to destroy the nation’s economy and freedoms and, subsequently, create a lost generation in our country in the name of a crisis. A crisis that eerily mimicked a bad flu season.

My internet has been quite sporadic and not too robust this last week or so. There are rumblings of impending attacks on the US infrastructure to include the internet. Sometimes I cannot help but wonder if the groundwork is being prepared for such an attack. This especially considering how much Donald Trump is leading in the polls and considering what the world political elites did to the world the last time he was in the lead.

Senator Mitch McConnell has announced that is going to retire in November. Interesting that it comes on the heels of a new book being released that details the Chinese Communist influence in United States politics. I have not heard that the senator’s name is included in the book and if this is the case I cannot help but wonder if a deal was struck to keep his name out of the book? Or perhaps, his name is mentioned in the book and the senator is preempting his moves prior to its release? Whatever, it certainly did not stop him, his cronies, and the other uni party senators and representatives from passing the sham $1.2 billion dollar budget, did it? What a joke.

Lastly, I wish all well in the celebration of Christ’s resurrection this weekend.

Does anyone else feel that there is an unseen or rather unknown power or powers that are conspiring and working together to keep them from thriving? This invisible force will allow one just enough to survive but will do all in its or their power to ever keep one from going to the next level, so to speak.

Personally, I have had several instances in which I have tried to “break out” of my station only to see the “rules” change. One particular instance, that comes to mind, is in the 2000’s when I started to invest in real estate, working hard to minimize debt, then watching the market crash in the late 2000’s, watch some financial institutions fail as a result, then thinking that a lot of distressed properties would come onto the market and that I might be able to pick up a couple of these properties up as investments. Instead, many of the properties that were foreclosed upon sat vacant for years as their condition’s deteriorated. When they finally did come on the market the local real estate market had bottomed and the same foreclosed properties came up for sale one or two at a time and they were being sold through large national real estate companies that previously had no local representation. It gradually became obvious to me that the too big to fail finance houses and its surrogates in Washington D.C. were firmly in control and that the free market no longer existed, at least in Real Estate. That I lived in a quasi-fascist reality in which politically connected interests were allowed to survive in this once great nation. In other words, winners and losers are not determined by the marketplace but rather by political interests and for political reasons.

Lately, I have been thinking about how rapidly the giants of Silicon Valley rose squashing their competition and subsequently how they have colluded with government interests. Now this has been proven that the Silicon Valley “media” giants colluded with entrenched government interests to see that President Trump did not retain the office of President. It is my opinion they did not elect Joe Biden but rather they worked to ensure President Trump did not retain the office and it really is sad and, quite frankly, criminal. Yet again, hidden interests in the corridors of national power are picking winners and losers to maintain their power, plain and simple. Is Donald Trump a perfect man? No, absolutely not, but the alternative is Joe Biden and he is the best they can offer me as a naturally born man of the united states of America? Give me a break, the man and those around him are overtly supporting a communist dictator, laundered money through Afghanistan, the Ukraine, and now apparently Israel is more important than my own country? It is also my opinion that Facebook, Google, and Amazon received dark money from three letter agencies in the United States through cut outs or however these agencies fund their malfeasance and treason.

Back to these giant behemoths of Silicon Valley and the amount of power they wield; it is my opinion that there is no way these giants became as large as they have without the help of three letter government agencies. All one has to do is look at the type of power they wield and how it benefits tyrants. These giants essentially have monopolies in the gathering of information on each and every individual who uses the internet for whatever they use the internet for and I have no doubt government agencies have back doors to this data. Everything from internet searches, views, purchases and whatever else are logged and saved in giant data bases throughout the country and world and more continue to be built. This data is then saved to be mined for whatever reason whether nefarious or benign, if needed, in the future. These companies can then mine the data to tailor and target individuals for marketing reasons or more nefariously in the case of three letter agencies to run psychological operations against us plebeians to ensure the major wielders of power maintain their power. Am I supposed to believe these are the good guys? Am I to believe that they care a wit about my welfare and that of my family and friends? In fact, and I have said this before, at what point do these so called human beings become a clear and present threat to the safety and wellbeing of me and my loved ones?

A car has blown up at the Rainbow Bridge border crossing between Canada and the United States near Niagara Falls on the New York side. Geez, the day before Thanksgiving on one of, if not the largest, days in which the number of people are traveling in the united States. I am so comforted knowing the FBI is on the scene and now know that I will never know the true story of what happened as the cover up masters have taken over the crime scene.

Speaking of another incident on the day before Thanksgiving yet another train has derailed, this time in Kentucky, and at least two of the fifteen cars that derailed were carrying some form of sulfur. My prayers go out to the people living near the derailment. I am sure Pete Buttigieg will take some time to visit the site, not.

Populist leaders have won elections in Argentina and the Netherlands this week and the left controlled media is apoplectic. I can only pray that the leftists will accept the election results and become a peaceful opposition as the right has been for the most part recently. However, I do not hold high hopes for this considering all that was done in the country that was once the beacon of light for freedom loving people to prevent it’s President from being reelected.

Is it a coincidence that the week after Dictator Xi visited San Francisco and met with Joe Biden that a mysterious lung infection is spreading in China? Eerily similar to another time a few years back. Call me cynical but I must wonder if the ruling elites have decided to pull out the play book that was so successful late 2020 and 2021?

Riots on the streets of Dublin after a knife wielding man, apparently Algerian, stabbed two adults and three children. Riots in which the rioters destroyed some businesses, police cars, and a bus. Ostensibly, these rioters were rioting against foreigners who have been settled in Ireland but have been unwilling to acclimatize to Irish culture, not unlike most other places in Europe. What bothers me about this is the rioters are being branded as extreme right wingers and why would extremists on the right who are against foreigner’s attack businesses and symbols of law and order? I understand Ireland is essentially a socialist country, after all the IRA of old was essentially a Marxist organization. It almost seems, like the U.S. during the summer of love of 2020, the riots were preplanned and too well organized to not be well planned and organized.

Geez, for wanting to pull back and not let myself get wrapped up in current events I sure have paid attention to a few this past week.

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.

I watched the movie “The Legend of Bagger Vance” the other night and one of the main characters, played by Matt Damon, Captain Junah, is a man haunted by his past service in World War I in which many men who served under him were killed in action. Bagger Vance, played by Will Smith, is an angel sent to help steer Junah straight and help him get through his PTSD or Shell Shock or whatever they called it after WWI. There is one scene that sticks with me and that is when Bagger tells Junah to see the course. Essentially, he is telling him to see it with his heart. See his path and what he, Junah, needs to see to play his shot. Not anyone else’s shot but his shot.

Speaking of Bagger Vance and the fact the movie takes place in the United States’ south, I happened to listen to “Simple Man” by Lynyrd Skynyrd and the lyrics are:

Mama told me when I was young

“Come sit beside me, my only son

And listen closely to what I say

And if you do this, it’ll help you some sunny day, ah yeah”

Oh, take your time, don’t live too fast

Troubles will come they will pass

You’ll find a woman, yeah, and you’ll find love

And don’t forget, son, there is someone up above

And be a simple kind of man

Oh, be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

Oh, won’t you do this for me, son, if you can?

Forget you lust for the rich man’s gold

All that you need is in your soul

And you do this, oh, baby, if you try

All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied

…But, be a simple, be a simple man

Oh, be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

There is, to me, something about this song that sums up what I have been rolling around in my mind as I observe the ramblings, rumblings and rants of the world.

The Conservative Constitutionalist needs to slow down, pull in, and remember what is really important and it certainly is not what is happening half a world away in the Middle East, Ukraine, and in China. The Conservative Constitutionalist needs to play his game and not anyone else’s game. Sure, events there can impact what is happening to me eventually and probably will and, in fact have, but for now I have found myself, along with many others, getting worked up about these events for no reason. Every time I click a link, I am supporting some large media giant sell advertisement or every time I turn on a news broadcast, I am supporting yet another media giant and helping them to sell advertising.

I believe what I am trying to say is that I have, unintentionally been supporting the rich elitists and their lifestyles at the expense of my lifestyle and letting myself be swayed to live in their world, at their pace, and to ignore what is right in front of me. It is Thanksgiving week now and I was reminded this past weekend that this is really a time of Thanksgiving unique to the American experience. It is a time to reflect on this country’s native American heritage and its melding with the early English settlers and how the early Native American’s taught and saved the early English settlers from starvation and how to live in this new world. What I was reminded of is that I am an American first and foremost. I am not a European, an Asian, a Middle Easterner, or anyone else but an American, end of story. Also, that I need to focus on what is right in front of me and not what is happening half a world away.

I had the opportunity to spend some time in Southern New Mexico last week and it was a bit depressing. The town that I was staying in is depressed and there is no way around it. Two restaurants that I had eaten in the past were shut down for good, no doubt, victims of the COVID lock downs. The only jobs to be had were servicing the travelers along the interstate, a Dollar General and government jobs. Certainly, none of these jobs are jobs in which wealth is being created for this community. Instead, one of them, the government jobs, are nothing more than redistributing wealth by taking from wealth producers in order to support the recipients.

Oh yes, it was disgusting to see how they were able to clean up and keep the riff raff away in San Francisco for the visit of Xi, the Chinese dictator, while businesses flee the corrupt, decadent, third world bung hole of California. Yes, I said bung because I dare not write what I really want to call it. California politicians and remaining business leaders really are a clear and present danger to the stability of the United States. I will not even mention the sock puppet in chief of the United States who capitulated to the dictator. In fact, it appears they are in Xi’s employee which could be considered an act of treason if one were to pursue that line of thinking.

As if I need another reason not to support the Republican Party in the United States was needed over twenty Republican members of Congress held out on the nomination of Jim Jordan to be the Speaker of the House. It is obvious that the Republican Party is a house divided which really is in the united states of America’s favor, quite honestly, in my opinion. What is frightening is how unified the Democrat Communist Party of America is and how they have been able to co-opt elements of the Republican Party. If their aim is chaos and turmoil they are succeeding and they would make Leon Trotsky a happy man if, indeed, he was ever capable of being happy.

Like the Nazi regime in the Ukraine needs any more money it will be getting around 60% of the money in the Israel/Ukraine aid bill proposed by the neocons. Once again, all I can think is that there is a pending election and the international socialists need more money to fund their election rigging in the United States and elsewhere. It really must be important to allow many hundreds to be killed in Israel and to take the lid off Joe Biden’s basement to allow him or his avatar to go to Israel and Jordan.

I am breathing smoke, yet again, from fires in California only this time it is from “managed” burns to ostensibly remove undergrowth from forest floors. Once again, I am having to breath polluted air from one of the most corrupted and mismanaged states in the union. Once again, I must ask myself why were these forests not managed properly in the last twenty to thirty to fifty years so these “managed” burns would not be necessary in the aftermath of some of the worst fires in recorded history? Would it not make more sense to log and manage these forests and therefore provide productive jobs to thousands of men and women instead of polluting the air I breath yet again? Not only that, the wood logged could then be put to more productive use instead of importing lumber from foreign sources.

Speaking of lumber and the trees from which lumber comes from, the deciduous trees are well into their change of color and it is quite beautiful in my part of the world despite the smell and light haze from the smoke. The mornings are very cool, the afternoons mild and I can only imagine the first storm of the year will be here soon. I can only pray that the only storms looming on the horizon are only the storms of winter and not of man and the demons that possess men.

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 am already hearing reports that Real Estate agents in Hawai’i are representing investors ready to purchase land in and around Lahaina on Mau’i, books are purportedly being written to blame the fires on climate change, the governor or Hawaii has announced the state of Hawaii should seize the land for housing, and the politicians in Hawaii and Washington D.C. are blaming the fire on climate change. You have got to be kidding me!!! They have not even finished recovering the dead let alone had services to say goodbye to the dead! Talk about inhuman, callous, reprehensible, self-serving, sociopaths. Number one you should be ashamed of yourselves and if incapable of being ashamed of yourselves you should be locked up because you are a clear and present danger to humanity.

I am looking forward to the Rugby World Cup and to see in the Springboks or South Africa can defend their title. Speaking of South Africa, I am very aware of a meeting that will take place next week between the BRICS nations. It will be very interesting to see what comes of it, no doubt.

Whoa! James Comer of Kentucky is demanding the documents from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is demanding the documents and communications in which the Vice President Biden, err Peters, err Ware among others be turned over. I wonder if it matters.

So, it appears, a US drone was taken out by a Russian fighter somewhere over the Black Sea and of course it gave Lindsey Graham yet another opportunity to pontificate why we should get in a shooting war with Russia. Senator Graham when was the last time you went to war and do you have any children? Because if you do they should be the first ones to enlist (no officer training for them) and be sent out on the front lines in Germany, Poland, Ukraine, or heck maybe even France or England wherever they might be in an infantry unit. Or they should be on a cruiser patrolling in the Black Sea, North Sea or the Mediterranean. I am sorry Neocons but after two decades of war created by you and your neophytes and the subsequent transfers of wealth and degradation of my standard of living I no longer believe a word that you utter. I do have to laugh, albeit a laugh tinged with irony and not without a bit of concern, that something apparently as low tech as spraying a drone with fuel could take a high dollar sophisticated drone down. I bet the multi trillion dollar defense industry and their supposed experts did not see this low tech option in their high dollar high tech decision making process.

I think the LGBQT (rstuv) movement is racist now and I am lodging a formal complaint to whoever will listen. They are racist against the Irish people and people of Irish descent and this thought finally crystallized in my mind this morning. First of all they co-opted the rainbow from which Irish lore has it that the Leprechauns or Little People (most likely pre-Milesean inhabitants of Hibernia) buried their gold underneath. Now, today I am reading that there are gay St. Patrick’s Day parades all over the socialist world, a world that seeks to destroy whatever culture it comes into contact with. I suppose now I will have a topic of conversation to bring up around the table filled with corned beef, soda bread, dark beer (no green for me), and a wee bit of whiskey from Ireland tonight. In other words, Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all who are for a day Irish.

Credit Suisse, yet another once venerable institution, appears to be on the ropes only this time it is not a US bank. The headline that I read mentioned that one of its main investors, the Saudi Crown bank (not its official name) refuses to bail it out because of the regulatory environment that owning more than 10% will bump them into. I cannot say that I blame them but I am sure there are reasons the rules were put into place.

Speaking of banks and US Federal Reserve and the guarantee of all depositors in Silicon Valley Bank. Can the corruption and bank scratching between Silicon Valley and the Washington D.C. elites be shown to be more obvious? Why make rules such as to guarantee deposits up to $250,000 if you are not going to hold the line? I know this and for that reason I have never deposited more than $250,000 into a bank account for any length of time, over a day, for that reason. Why is it that the average American is being asked to bail out, yet again, risky behavior of those who are either ill-informed, corrupt, quite frankly reckless gamblers or perhaps have malevolent intent? The powered elite and their acolytes are addicts that keep coming to us to support their habits and until we say no they will keep on coming back to the trough that keeps on feeding them.

It appears that there is generally a refusal to follow rules that were put in place in the halls of power in the United States and elsewhere. The US Military when forcing its members to take the experimental mRNA jab completely ignored its own rules around the use of experimental vaccines because, I suspect, the Flag and General Officers were more concerned about the size of their pensions than fielding a fighting force. Now it appears the Federal Reserve and the FDIC are ignoring their own rules regarding the guaranteeing of loans, Congress and the DOJ have ignored the US Constitution when prosecuting Americans who were in Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021, and the list goes on and on. What is the point of these rules if the powered elites will not follow them as well as the rest of the citizenry? I understand in England and in Sa’udi Arabia the rules do not apply to the monarchy and gilded elites because the rules are set up to protect them and their old world ways. However, in the United States, we are supposed to have left this old world way behind thanks the great luminaries and statesmen like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and others but it appears we as a country are getting drug back into the mud by old world mores and it makes me angry and sad.

I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format.

I seem to be running late but I have been too busy trying to make a living and at the same time work through winter weather and as happens I become so focused on the immediate tasks at hand I do not have a whole lot of time to comment on the news media entertainment complex and what is being pushed, propagandized, and purified.

Is anyone else disgusted that two Americans were killed and two were kidnapped from the same group that had gone to Mexico for a medical procedure? First off why is there a need to go to Mexico in the first place for a medical procedure that I am sure was developed in the United States but for some reason is affordable in Mexico? Save that for another conversation. What makes me angry is that I do not believe anything will come of this because, evidently, the corrupting influence of the drug cartels has now reached so far into American society that even elements of the US Military’s Special Forces have been compromised by the cartels. Or are they working for the CIA who is working with the Cartels to push drugs on the American citizens to fund their own “off the book” black ops. Either way it is disgusting that I even must imagine this possibility but then again, even Lindsey Graham (Neocon in Chief) weighed in on this story.

A bank failure in Silicon Valley by a bank, ironically, bearing the same name. I can honestly say I do not remember, in my lifetime, a run and subsequent failure of a bank with the image of Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life flashing in my memory and all the townspeople panicking. I certainly hope that the bank is not bailed out as the FDIC should be able to provide deposit insurance for the people who had deposits in the bank. Especially, as it seems to be coming out in the media that the bank focused quite a bit on ESG type causes instead of ensuring their depositors were kept solvent.

Oh, the outrage, that Tucker Carlson showed a couple of minutes of video footage from the nearly 45,000 hours of video footage of the US Capitol Building on January 2, 2021!!! Oh, the outrage, as the MSM claims he pieced together selective footage to push a narrative!!! Oh, the outrage, spewing from the Fascist Left (yes that includes you Senator McConnell and the other RINOs). I sense a bit of projection in the wind but who am I to say? What I can say for certain is that I am surprised Speaker McCarthy even released these videos and my cynicism is running high. I understand the potential security implications inherent in doing this but it would be refreshing if multiple independent analysis could be undertaken of these videos because as we are seeing with the likes of Senator McConnell, the car salesman from Utah (Romney) and other Republicans they probably all have skeletons in their closets that they wish to remain hidden.

Perhaps some of my cynicism surrounding Speaker McCarthy has just been refreshed having to drive through his home state of California again. I must ask myself how can I trust someone from the state of California, on the national stage, when they did or have done nothing to either save or retake their home state from the Getty-Pelosi-Brown-Newsom Oligarchy?

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.

I must decide if I want to spend the money to continue this blog. This blog that is read by few and far between and lately half of them are in mainland China. Evidently, I am circling somewhere over the target, at least relative to my ramblings concerning China and the Chinese Communist Party, otherwise, why would they be watching me? Yes, I assume in is the government of China that is watching me with no proof because I firmly believe that there is nothing that happens in China without the explicit or implicit approval of the government.

I learned that the net worth of Jerome Powell in the two years that he has been chairman of the US Federal Reserve has seen his net worth grow from $20 million to over $60 million. This while my net worth and standard of living has shrunk during this same time period. How is it that a man who creates no value whatsoever but merely oversees an organization that essentially is devaluing the value of currency more than triples his net worth? Does anyone else see something fundamentally wrong with this?

Speaking of rich people, smoke and mirrors, and hypocrisy. It seems that the number of private jets flying into Davos has skyrocketed for the meeting of the worlds uber elite. This and they are requesting pilots who have not participated in the mRNA injection experiment and will be serving beef at the meetings and restaurants surrounding the meeting areas. Why do we collectively give our freedoms and power over to these self-aggrandizing, selfish hypocrites who do not give a rip about our standards of living?

I read yet another Associated Press (AP) report and this report is on the storms that keep rolling into the US west coast. As per script the article details some of the trials and tribulations of Californian’s this winter to include flooding, heavy mountain snows, and the Los Angeles River, among other coastal California rivers running unabated into the Ocean. As per script the article had the obligatory sentence blaming this all on climate change. As per script I rolled my eyes how fires, drought, flooding, winter storms are all due to climate change. Well, duh, the climate did change when the Hua Tonga Tonga Volcano ejected water vapor and ash to the outer reaches of Earth’s atmosphere last January only mankind had nothing to do with it.

It seems the drums of war keep beating without any change in their tempo. Now the US and NATO are sending tanks, more money, and whatever else to the Ukrainian NAZI fascist. This while natural gas prices rise in the US because ours is being shipped to Europe. This because a war was started by the west and Russia shut off Europe’s natural gas and the west sabotaged another pipeline from Russia. It seems that Fascism is alive and well in the West, a portion of the world that ostensibly destroyed fascism in World War II.

Speaking of fascism, Davos, and their intersection apparently the Chairmen of Siemens, the huge multinational conglomerate that even includes the once venerable Westinghouse, a company of US origins, apparently feels that a billion people need to stop eating meat. OK, so what he is saying is that he needs a billion undernourished servants who will not have the energy to question that he and others like him dictate. I am supposed to believe a man who is chairman of the board of yet another company that flourished underneath the fascist German Nazi’s is altruistic and has my best interests in mind when he spews his venomous, inciting, and condescending drivel?

Now Green Berets are being arrested for trafficking illicit drugs from Central and South America. Add them to the inglorious list that includes Navy SEALS. It seems that the collapse of the United States is nigh now that our elite warrior class has also been corrupted.

Personally, I know that I need to step up my spiritual practice because the institutions that I once held in high regard are no more. Perhaps it was a mistake in the first place to hold these institutions in high regard because as Moses said, “We must hold no false idols before God”. Perhaps I did not hold my God in high enough regard and so now I must step up my practice. This because mankind’s leadership is certainly failing and appears to be on the road to mass destruction.
