Random Musings on Current Events 3.17.23

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.

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.

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 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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

We now have another Speaker of the House in the United States Congress who is from California. What is it about California that produces those with such ambition that they rise to the top of the House of Representatives in Washington D.C.? I for one think the debate for The Speaker was healthy despite it being nothing more than Kabuki Theater to appease the Build Back America wing of the Republican Party. What frightens me is that the man elected Speaker is a Republican from a state in which the Republican Party is in shambles and a failure. It is a state party that has allowed the Nancy Pelosi Democrats unbridled power and that is a one party state. I must question who Kevin McCarthy really is working for? Is it the American people, a California elite, the Uni Party, or perhaps Nancy Pelosi, and or all the above? Whatever or whoever it is that he is working for I do not trust him nor do I trust that he will hold the line against future encroachment on my rights as an individual under the US Constitution and its Bill of Rights. Nor do I trust that he will not work to destroy the populist movement that has been ignited by President Trump and help to decentralize power from Washington D.C. I suppose time will tell but I am not going to hold my breath.

Damar Hamlin collapses on the field. Was he a guinea pig in the COVID mRNA experiment? I suppose we will never know but it certainly makes me wonder when I hear out of Europe that throughout all sports the number of deaths for athletes, using the same sample population, has jumped from less than 50 to over 1,500 in one year.

Classified documents are being found in Joe Biden’s residence and at his Washington D.C. Penn State offices and somehow, I am supposed to believe it is different than the documents that were found in President Trump’s Mira Lago residence? Well yest it is different. Number one I know that as President of the United States one has the authority to declassify documents, however, as Vice President one does not and the documents in Joe Biden’s possession go back to his days as Vice President. Another difference is Donald Trump is a political outsider much as I am. I have no doubt that if classified documents were found in my possession, I would be busting large rocks into small rocks at an institution such as the federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth.

The FAA grounded all departing flights for several hours this week because of a glitch in their air traffic control’s Notice To Airmen (NOTAM) computer system. Just another system of the slow rolling failure of air travel in the United States. When government agencies are spending more resources ensuring their work force is trained in woke bull puckey and forcing untested technology injections on their employees instead of ensuring their equipment is maintained and kept up to date, things fail. Fortunately, this time no one was hurt despite many travelers being delayed. I for one am no longer comfortable using commercial airline travel because I must wonder what other systems will soon fail. Not only that I have trouble supporting businesses who were lackeys for the pharmaceutical industry and coerced their employees to be guinea pigs for the experimental mRNA jabs (i.e., Delta Airlines etc.).

Rest in Peace Jeff Beck and Lisa Marie Presley and may there be some good jam sessions with those who have gone before you, Mr. Beck.

California Snapshot 1.13.23

The other week I had to drive through much of California due to the failure of Southwest Airline’s reservation system. Sitting down to write my observations I wonder if there are similarities to Southwest Airlines’ failure to upgrade basic infrastructure needed to maintain the airline’s ability to function to that of the state of California.

Driving from California’s Imperial Valley two hours east of San Diego, through San Diego and up Interstate 5 past Sacramento I observed, I was impressed, and I was saddened at what California and its citizens have done in the past and what the state has become.

First off, driving north on I-5 from San Diego the freeway ventures inland a bit before it takes a turn to the west by northwest as it enters Los Angeles county and East Los Angeles, I was struck by something that is indicative of what California has become. This happened before the freeway passes by downtown Los Angeles and heads up toward the San Fernando Valley and the Grapevine, the major mountain range and pass that separates the Southern California counties from California’s Central Valley. Traffic was slow and for several miles and the distinct smell of urine permeated the air. I am not sure if this is where the massive homeless camp exists, if I was downwind of the camp or what. Here I was driving in what is supposed to be a first world city in a first world nation on one of its freeways and smelled like urine and I did not mention there was trash littering the side of the freeway for miles.

Next, I stayed in two motels during my trip, one in the Imperial Valley and the other in Bakersfield, both of which are in California. Each motel is part of the same hotel/motel chain and each billed themselves as a suite and the difference was palpable. The room in the Imperial Valley cost 50% more than the room in Bakersfield and, quite honestly, it was substandard as compared to the room in Bakersfield. Granted both rooms were clean, the beds were made, and the towels were folded and clean. The differences existed around the edges. In the Imperial Valley, the room had no tissue, for example, and the person at the front desk was ambivalent when I asked why I could not turn the television volume down with the provided remote control. The room reminded me of one in Las Vegas in which there was no warmth and designed only to take my money.

The room in Bakersfield, on the other hand, was remarkably similar in structure and what it provided but seemed warmer for lack of a better word. I was struck by what it seemed to provide for less money. The room was cozier and just seemed to provide more value for lack of a better word.

Moving through the state I was making time out of necessity wanting to avoid an incoming storm and so I did not spend much time anywhere. Driving through Los Angeles and up the interior portion of the state had the biggest impact on me. I was amazed at the amount of infrastructure that had been built to support industry at one time in Los Angeles. I saw beautiful brick buildings that obviously were once factories with large power lines feeding these buildings. I noted that the power lines had been physically cut from the building and that they were nothing more than silent hulks with rusting metal fringes now. “What happened here?”, I thought to myself.

Of course, I know what happened and I can sum it up with one word, corruption. Corruption at the local, county, state and federal levels of power.

The infrastructure is failing, billions of dollars are being spent on a railway that will never pan out that could be spent widening I-5 up the Central Valley and 395 around Victorville, for instance. Will this happen? I doubt it because that would require the gilded elite to leave their cherished enclaves of Los Angeles, Alameda, Sonoma, Napa, and San Francisco Counties and drive around the whole state of California. Yes, I said drive and not fly. They would have to eat somewhere other than the French Laundry, like an Outback Steak House or, gasp, Arby’s, Denny’s, a local diner and stay in motels because they are the only restaurants and lodgings in many of these small towns.

Speaking of San Francisco Country and the city by the bay I learned that in the financial district of the city there are armed guards at many of the shops to prevent theft. This is in a city that no longer prosecutes petty theft up to $1,000.00. So, let me get this straight, businesses must pay high taxes in a city and state ostensibly that provides the service of law enforcement. A city and state that no longer will enforce the law and now these businesses must pay for private security on top of the high taxes that they receive no benefit from paying. Is it me or does anyone else see a problem here?

For the next couple of weeks, I am sort of taking a news sabbatical. What this means is I will not actively be seeking out news but let those who I know tell me what they have read and heard in casual conversation. From this I will piece together my Random Musings. Along with what I hear from others and because of my news sabbatical I have time to formulate and type up what comes to mind in the quiet times.

Heading into the holidays it has become increasingly difficult for me to get into the spirit, so to speak. If anyone has lost a child, perhaps, they can understand. I have now lost both my parents, who I loved, and now a child and during the quiet time of the holidays the memories become painful. It really is hard to explain the depths without experiencing this sort of pain which I would not wish upon anyone.

Speaking of the death of a loved one little more than a month of taking the experimental Pfizer mRNA injection under pressure from their employer, a national airline. I wonder what sort of recourse I, as a father, have? I have submitted claims to the government because evidently the pharmaceutical giants are immune from liability for claims against their concoctions. Does anyone else see anything wrong with this picture?

Why won’t the government release all the files on the John Fitzgerald Kennedy assassination more than sixty years after the event and more than twenty years after a law was passed by Congress directing the CIA to release their files? Why does a federal agency appear to have more power than an elected body in my country? A country that is supposedly free and with a separation of powers. The appearance of impropriety is enough to cause one to lose confidence in one’s leadership, or so I have been taught.

Am I at risk, just for typing and posting these words, for having my family all but wiped out much as the JFK’s have been wiped out? What is one to do when obviously the rule of law does not apply but rather the law of tooth and fang or who has the largest club appears to be the real law at work? How much of what is going on within government and the media nothing more than Kabuki Theater?

Regardless, despite my moribund, dark, and pointless feelings and thoughts I do have much to be grateful which I am reminded of each day when I pray as I do before writing most times. I will not the purveyors of death despoil what remains of my life because life it is too valuable of a gift to squander and I choose life over death.

Well, the Twitter files are being released and all the assumptions and suspicions of collusion between Federal Government law enforcement agencies are being shown to be true with hard evidence. I, for one, am outraged! More outraged at the apparent lack of outrage being shown by others in positions in power. Ask me if I expect anyone in the Department of Justice to investigate and bring charges? Are there enough in Congress that will change anything? I have not read a whiff about this in either of the local big city newspapers near me in either the news or editorial sections. Where is the outrage that government was telling a Big Tech firm what to block and shadow ban? Perhaps, the CIA, DHS, FBI, DOJ and or who knows what else funded the rise of Twitter? I am not sure really what to believe now except that I have lost full faith in confidence in the ability of my Federal Government’s current leadership in the DNI, CIA, FBI, DHS, DOJ, CDC, and the DOD’s senior leadership (i.e., Flag, General, SES level). What about Google, Amazon, the NY Times and other MSM outlets? What is most troubling is I am not sure what I can do, besides pray, about any of this.

I am happy that the military will no longer be requiring its soldiers, sailors, and airmen to get the experimental COVID mRNA injection. What still disturbs me and prevents me from supporting President Trump is his lack of apology or even acknowledging that there may have been a problem with the initial roll out of the jab. Is he beholden to Big Pharma, is he too stubborn to admit a mistake, or does he still believe it was the right thing to do? I will admit he made decisions under pressure and cannot fault him for the decisions he made. Someone had to make them but with a couple of years now passed and with a better understanding of the disease I would think it is OK to admit mistakes were made.

The Biden administration has traded a killer weapons dealer for a stoner basketball player while a US Marine still sits in a Russian prison. Seems equitable to me and if you detect sarcasm dripping from this it is.

I watched a bit of the Fox network’s news casts on Wednesday morning and they mentioned how the COVID mRNA experiment in the military was being ended. I call this a victory and yet on the newscast not one mention was made that the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) portion was removed from the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Hmm, do you think News Corp was not happy about this?

Once again, the MSM is blaming Trump for the loss of a Republican, Herschel Walker, in Georgia’s senate run off. Yawn, I say, put blame where blame is due. It is the RINO Republicans who would rather remain in the minority that are to blame. Yawn.

The JCPA has been added and now, deleted from the NDAA by Senator McConnell in a lame duck session! Wow, the bloated, corrupt, media really is pulling out all the stops to get this one through. They must really be hurting to use their big, corrupted gun Mitch McConnell to pull this stunt. All I can say is for them to do this sort of shenanigans to pass this bill it cannot be good for me. This is back room politics at its finest. It must tell one something when Amy Klobuchar supports it also.

What is up with Kanye West? This story has gone from messed up to reprehensible and now is entering the bizarre stage. Something is off.

Xi Jianping is visiting China. Interesting to say the least. It makes me mull over the fact that every reserve currency has failed and been replaced by another. Does this meeting mark the end of the US Dollar’s hegemony as the global reserve currency? Or is it the first, an intermediary, or a purely innocuous step in the future of currency in the world? Something tells me it is not an innocuous step with regards to the US Dollar.

Anthony Fauci has admitted that he talked to Mark Zuckerberg and that one of his daughters worked as a software engineer for Twitter. Now she works as a software engineer for a leftist organization the pushes vaccines.
