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.

Random Musings on Current Events 3.12.23

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

Peaceful riots have turned violent yet again, only this time in Atlanta as leftist hijack a protest against police violence and trouble appears to be brewing in Minneapolis, Minnesota again. Minneapolis is probably in response to the threats to remove Ilhan Omar from the US House Intelligence Committee I suspect. Same playbook, different year, only this time I must wonder what the leftists are up to considering they do not have a Presidential election to overthrow. Or perhaps maybe they are already starting and the true leftist leaders, the ones who hide behind the scenes, are finished with Joe Biden and his corrupt family.

Lindsey Graham is in the Ukraine lecturing us all on how we need to send more arms and even tanks to the Ukraine and blah de de blah blah. I tuned out listening to him because I imagine he probably was going to tell me that if I have one doubt then it is treason. I stole some of the previous sentence’s words from a song written about Vietnam as it seems the new bosses are the same as our old bosses to steal words from another song of the same era. Lindsey Graham is nothing more than Neocon spokes mouth at a minimum and who knows what else in the worst case. Is there any doubt in anyone else’s mind?

Speaking of Neocons and others in Congress I heard that the national debt is now $31.5 trillion, interest rates are rising, the economy is slowing and national government spending is now over $1 trillion per year in the United States. Additionally, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics just announced the Consumer Price Index (CPI) calculation will be changed and yet they have failed to provide transparency on how the calculation will be performed to the general public. All I must do is read the two previous sentences in which a Neocon spokes mouth wants to launder US Taxpayer money through a war to feed the coffers of the defense industry and the other in which the numbers will be fudged to pay retirees and others less money by obfuscating what the real inflation rate is. It seems that the US Federal Government’s sole purpose and those in control of it is to feed itself no matter the cost to the citizens it purports to serve.

I spoke with a friend several months ago who is very knowledgeable in the world of tech. He told me that he believes that we will be cyborgs (part machine, part human) in the near future. It is his opinion that many of us are already part cyborg considering how much we carry our minicomputers disguised as cell phones (smart phones) with us wherever we go. Trouble is, I can see his logic and it disturbs me. Where does the line between being human and tech end? At what point do we cease being human and become a machine with intelligence? Where are our philosophers and clergy to help us define and debate this potential impending reality?

I had reason to visit a medical office the other day in a city nearby where I live. I really did not know what the medical center’s primary focus is but for some reason I was dreading and felt a sort of darkness around the place. Even trying to find it was a bit difficult as the building that I was trying to find that housed the office that I was visiting is tucked among a group of similar buildings. It was as if the building and offices in it were disguised and repelling at the same time to obfuscate their existence to all but those who knew what to look for. I turned the correct corner finally, felt a sense of unease, and the building had a giant sign announcing it was a Woman’s Reproductive Health Building. It was at that moment I realized the type of offices the building held. What I noticed was how warm and inviting the building seemed to be at the same time I felt a sense of nausea. It was well apportioned and the office that I visited had dimmed lights, was warm, and smelled of vanilla. All of which seemed designed to put a woman at ease and now I fully understand why I have felt a darkness emanating from that particular business center. 

I have to buy cartridges for my printer which happens to be a Brother color printer and I find it really is no different than any other home office printer whether they be Canon or Epson or whatever. The ink is really expensive for what I get. Essentially what I am getting is two halves of molded plastic, albeit tailored for each individual machine, that is filled with ink. I would imagine the cost of the raw product is less than one tenth of what I pay. I thought about this for some reason staring at a Cross Pen and thinking about how hard it is to get refills for it and how most people, I would believe, have moved to using computers to do their writing. Therefore, there really is not a huge demand for the type of pen that I prefer to use and partly explains why Cross Pen has off shored their production to, hold your breath, China. Yet another consumer good experiencing supply chain issues.

There is news all over the alternate and fringe mainstream media about Project Veritas recording a Pfizer executive. What he says specifically I would encourage others to find but do not use Google because it has censored Project Veritas and anything to do with the recording of this executive. It is interesting that now the so called executive’s social media has been completely scrubbed and there are calls that he was a disinformation agent and blah blah blah. Perhaps either or both are true. What I do know is that Pfizer has a huge advertising and lobbying budget and that they took no money from the US Federal Government to develop their version of the modified ribonucleic acid (nRNA) jab to prevent COVID-19. This so they could reap all the profits unencumbered. So, in summary, I know Pfizer has the deep pockets and ability to be guilty of setting this whole thing up, being guilty of what the gentleman professed Pfizer being guilty of, and I also know Pfizer can certainly afford to have a sophisticated damage control operation instituted. 

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.

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.

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.

Random Musings of Current Events 1.13.23

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 in a New Year.

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.

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.

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? 

Random Musings on Current Events 12.16.22

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.

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.

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.

A National Thanksgiving

Whereas it is the duty of all nations acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and

Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me “to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them and opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness;”

Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted; for the civil and religious liberty with which are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and , in general, for the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally, to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the 3d day of October, A.D. 1789.

Geo. Washington

Random Musings on Current Events 11.18.22

Once again it is time for 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.

Nancy Pelosi will not seek a leadership position in the new Congress. Wow, she actually kept her word. I wonder if it had something to do with the attack on her husband, her health, something else and or all the preceding? It will be interesting to see who wins the Democrat Party infighting to elect the next Speaker of the House. Will it be the Communists, Socialist, Fascist or just corrupt without any political ideology wing of the party?

Oh no! FTX has failed and with it $32 billion has disappeared!!! Disappeared into Democratic Party candidate coffers, disappeared into Bahamian real estate, disappeared into mysterious bank accounts, and since much of the value was speculative anyway it just vanished. It seems we live in a world where counter party risk seems increasingly, ahem, risky. Personally, I am going to sit back and watch the show on this one because its entertainment value seems to be increasing daily.

President Trump has announced his candidacy for another term of office. Although ostensibly I hope he wins I have my reservations. For instance, when will the irritating texts, emails, and phone calls start asking for money? This is when the RNC machine has not stopped asking me for donations for Hershel Walker’s campaign to finish out the most recent banana republic election that the RINO’s ensured will keep the establishment in power. Additionally, it will be an uphill battle for President Trump, no doubt, considering all the forces arrayed against him. After all, a worldwide pandemic was engineered to ensure he was not reelected in 2020. I say this because of all the mail in ballot laws passed which are patently corrupt during the plandemic, all churches and public gatherings were shut down in the name of public safety with Democratic states being the most militant in doing so, and President Trump could not have his rally’s, his strength, in the numbers he did the first time. I also have my reservations about President Trumps handling of the plandemic and his support for the experimental mRNA inoculations.

It certainly seems that Ron DeSantis has some favor with the establishment because he is being allowed to govern Florida as he sees fit and won his reelection easily which is a good thing, no doubt. However, as I was reminded by one of my favorite pod casters yesterday let us wait and see who the people are that surround him. If fact, isn’t that true of everyone? Trump surrounded himself with people who were part of the problem, no doubt.

Speaking of which, the results of this past election were not Trumps fault but rather, I would submit, it is the fault of the CCP/Globalist Controlled Uni Party. It is the fault of Mitch McConnell who has sold his party and country out to maintain power for what I am not sure. His not providing funding to Don Bolduc, Adam Laxalt, Blake Masters, and Kelly Tshibaka reeks of his willingness to ignore much of the populace of the United States, especially in those states they were running, and the Trump wing of the Republican because they would not take a knee to him. I commend these candidates despite their losses because unlike an inflexible loser who will destroy his party, stunt his party from changing to face the future, who appears willing to sell his country, and who is incapable of seeing the future in the name of maintaining his grip on power, these candidates have taken a stand. They have taken a stand for more than greed and going along to get along which is a course that has cost this country dearly and will continue until Mitch McConnell and those like him which include but are not limited to Nancy Pelosi, Mitt Romney, the Cheney’s, the Bushes, the Clinton’s, the Obama’s and the rest of the greedy power hungry group of globalists have been put out to pasture for good.

It certainly is interesting to read the news of celebrities and politicians reacting to the Musk takeover of Twitter. They are attacking Mr. Musk with the same fervor that they attacked Donald Trump and it is coming from the same quarter of society and the world. For instance, Kathy Griffin and German Socialists and others.

Before the election, the election office of Kari Lake was targeted by someone emailing suspicious envelopes with white powder and General Don Bolduc was physically assaulted and nary a peep in the mainstream media. Who really are the purveyors of violence in spreading fear? Maybe the answer is located somewhere in Chicago or someone who called Chicago home in their past.

So, George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and several Silicon Valley Tech Giants are funding an organization called Internews that claims to support “independent media.” In Hungary they are calling the branch of Internews “position media” and to me this provides further proof of the alliance between big tech, the US foreign intelligence apparatus and George Soros. Does anyone else ever wonder how Big Tech got so big so fast in a free market? To me, they had to have help and perhaps this is a chit being called in?

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.
