Random Musings on Current Events 2.2.2024

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.

It seems that Senator Schumer is going to pull a page out of Nancy Pelosi’s book and ram a bill addressing immigration down the throats of Congress without giving them time to read and absorb what is in the bill. Purportedly, it wants to create new authorities and even money for Ukraine and there are even rumors that Senator McConnell is in support of the bill. So, like Nancy Pelosi’s Affordable Health Care Act we are supposed to trust them and figure out what is in the bill after it passes. Again, I say bull shit! Slow the roll down and give us all time to read the bill because if you did not have something to hide you would allow us time to read. Furthermore, if you had not done all that you could to keep Donald Trump from being reelected, we would not have a group of criminals holding the reins of power in the Executive. For all I know they are passing a bill that legalizes and codifies Joe Biden’s immigration policy while at the same time throwing a bunch of pork out to McConnell’s, Schumer’s, and Biden’s cronies.

Speaking of Texas and Governor Abbot. Something smells rotten and it is not just the sewage and trash at the Mexican border that I am speaking of. We have a Governor who is shipping migrants into the heartland of the country instead of keeping them out while at the same time putting on a show in Eagle Pass with Texas National Guard putting up barbed wire. This while within minutes of Eagle Pass gates are evidently wide open in the border fence in which anyone can drive through. Something does not add up.

It is telling that Europe seems to be freer than the United States with the farmer and trucker protests. One thing for certain is Europe is not beholden to the companies that mass produce genetically modified foods and to big tech. If one were to do something like that in the United States with the unholy alliance between government and its law enforcement and intelligence agencies with big tech the protesters would probably be geo-fenced and arrested. Then they would be thrown in front of a kangaroo court orchestrated by a Hollywood producer and thrown into a D.C. jail without constitutional protections.

Why does Lloyd Austin still have a job?

I read recently that the Hawaii Electric Company (HECO) has had rolling blackouts on the Hawaiian main island of Oahu. This because solar and wind were not provided enough peak power after a coal fired plant was shut down in the last year.

So, three American service members have been killed in Jordan and God rest their souls. The questions I have are why were they there in the first place and why is there an immediate siren call from the neoconservatives calling for the escalation of hostilities towards Iran? Sometimes it seems that there are elements in the west and the Middle East, for that matter, who are hell bent, no pun intended, on endless if not nuclear war.

Why do computers have to keep invading every aspect of my life? Do they really make my life more convenient? Am I really saving any more time or am I really any more productive? Sure, I would not be able to type this blog up to have it read by spam bots, no doubt, and the random passerby in cyber land but would it really be that great of a loss to humanity as a whole? Personally, I think not. Why is there a mad rush to replace equipment with computer driven equipment when the original equipment has run great for decades and continues to run great? Perhaps I should refurbish an old typewriter, find and refurbish an old printing press, and try to sell print copy. Of course, I would additionally have to protect myself from the ire of the environmentalists who will accuse me of contributing to deforestation because it takes trees to make paper, the teams of big tech salesmen who will attack my method of information dissemination as antediluvian, who knows I may even get accused of being a troglodyte.

Speaking of troglodytes and those who do not want to move into the so called and purported to be modern times it seems the Red Sea is still being shut down by a semi nomadic people with no sea power to speak of. A tribe of people, no doubt, being used as a proxy by a more technologically advanced nation or nation’s relatively inexpensive weaponry has effectively shut down the once vaunted British and US Navies. Good on them I say because the British and US Navies are now reaping what has been sown in the societies and by extension into the services that purportedly serve these societies.

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.

I just read an article by Sasha Latypova in which she describes the four steps to propagate a scam to further a fascist takeover of a society (not her words but more mine). Loosely, she said the following:

Step1 – Poison a few people in a few geographic location with a drug (chemical or bio toxin) that causes highly morbid central nervous system effects;

Step 2 – Pretend it was a bug;

Step 3 use the internet to spread fake information that the bug is a highly lethal agent and its symptoms are anxiety, sleeplessness and worry and;

Step 4 – All the hypochondriacs run to their doctors and flood the ERs at which point they can be encouraged to take the fake PCR-remdesivir-ventilator protocol and call it Covid.

Alex Soros tweeted out a re post from the Atlantic that features a bullet hole and a sum of $47. I certainly hope the Secret Service, charged with protecting all Presidents and former Presidents, is investigating this tweet and the original authors of this photo. Once again this is not a deescalatory move on the part of the left but rather an escalatory move. One would almost think that they are trying to start a civil war in the worst case scenario or social unrest in the best case scenario. My hope is that cooler, more grown up, heads will prevail.

So, now that the replacement workforce and silent army of purportedly more than 6 million illegal immigrants has been allowed into the country since the Biden regime took the reins of power in the D.C. Kamala Harris is calling for amnesty. Geez, it must be nice to be chauffeured around the third world cities of D.C., Oakland and San Francisco with personal protective details. Kind of similar to Chicago, New York, and Baltimore where the people she works for used to live. I suppose Kamala will be getting a place on Martha’s Vineyard, The Hamptons, or probably Napa Valley after she is no longer in the public spotlight.

A US District Judge, Lewis Kaplan, has postponed a defamation trial against Donald Trump until Tuesday due to a juror’s coronavirus illness. Ummm, what? Tuesday is the New Hampshire primary. It sure looks like Covid is still being used to keep Donald Trump from the oval office at any cost. One only can wonder what other nefarious crisis is being hatched to suppress freedom and commit mass murder? There really are some people who will do anything to subvert our most precious institution of democracy, voting, to keep him from filling the office. One can only imagine the level and breadth of the corruption in D.C. and the other institutions of power.

This past week I made my annual purchase of a weekly calendar to track appointments, miles driven etc. for my business. I was shocked to see the calendar cost of about $34 up from $31 last year and up from about $21 8 years ago. Doing the math that is nearly a 10% increase from last year and a 62% increase over 8 years. That is a 7.75% average annual increase over 8 years. Taking last year’s increase out of the equation it amounts to a 6.8% over 7 years. Yet another sign that inflation is continuing to rise and well above what the government reported inflation rate.

God bless the US Navy SEALS who went missing in the Red Sea while Lloyd Austin was in the hospital unbeknownst to any of his direct reports. Realistically did the Secretary need to have direct knowledge of the operation? Who knows and there is a chance that he did not but the appearance is further evidence of why I have lost confidence in the Secretary’s ability to lead.

So, the Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against Donald Trump being allowed on the Colorado Primary ballot, at least for now, until the Supreme Court rules on the ruling which is almost a forgone conclusion. In my current state of mind I could really give a rat’s backside. I probably should give a rat’s backside but do I really? Now Republicans are saying, in a tit for tat sort of way, that Biden should be removed from ballots and the media on both sides are up in arms with their click bait. I honestly cannot disagree with the Republicans, at all, considering Joe Biden appears to be the worst kind of traitor one can be. He has no morals and will sell whoever out to enrich himself, his family, and his supporters. Trouble is this ruling is not a deescalatory move but rather and escalatory move and I ask myself where the adults in the room are who need to put the children in their places.

I went to a Barnes and Noble for the first time in quite a while and, as expected, it was quite busy. They also are discontinuing their record album section and have remodeled that part of the store to put more bookshelves in. I can remember enjoying going into a bookstore but no longer feel the joy or reason to buy anything. I suppose that I have become too red pilled to want to pay a red cent for anything. Nothing inspires me and I feel as if the commercial purveyors of “truth” will not provide any value in the reading they are selling. Trouble is, I do not want to use to Amazon either because if I do that my data will be sold and crunched to provide me a “better shopping experience”. Some AI generated algorithm will suggest what I should be reading based on a predictive model rather than letting me browse. Perhaps that is the way it always has been considering some of my favorite book locations were mostly considered renegade or rebellious in nature, after all, and these stores have either shut down, taken over by the Borg (Amazon), or put out of business after September 11, 2001.

Speaking of the Borg and being defeated and assimilated I was on You Tube the other day and there was a click bait put up regarding John Wayne and who he did not like. I succumbed to the temptation and listening to the history while doing some other work it soon became evident to me the voice was not real nor was the flow of the presentation right. It was choppy repetitive and a waste of time in general. My conclusion is that it was an AI generated presentation and quite frankly it was terrible. I am glad that I did not waste too much of my attention and accomplished some work while listening to it.

Pro-Palestinian protests in the cesspool of San Francisco disrupted the lighting the city’s Christmas Tree and additional protests disrupted shoppers at Union Square. This is what happens when good productive people give Neo-communist, socialist-fascists their power and either run away or do not stand up to those who have declared war on them. Heaven help the rest of the country and the world in what is supposed to be a time of celebrating the birth of one who espoused peace, brotherhood and life. Not subjecting others at the edge of sword to their way of death.

The Conservative Constitutionalist will be taking next week off to spend time with family, reflect on this past year, next year and spend some time with friends. To all, The Conservative Constitutionalist wishes you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Random Musings on Current Events 12.8.2023

Does anyone else ever get the feeling of a disconnect between reality and what is being fed to us through the media, thanks to the spread of the internet and all the content that it delivers? This just being an extension of the corrupting influences brought about by the radio first and then television. We as human beings spend more time in front of our devices than we do cultivating one on one relationships with other human beings. The noise and constant bombardment of our senses with images and sounds from televisions, radios, and computers filling our minds up and distracting us from the real world. The sounds and sights of the devices designed to distract us from the uncomfortable reality of human existence in what is, at times, an unforgiving and bleak existence. These devices have become like a form Huxley’s Soma for the masses.

What disturbs me or rather what I finally was able to see this past week is that the media and big tech masters are creating new worlds in their digital realms that people are dependent upon for nearly all their survival. They shop online, find entertainment online, communicate with others online using email and video conferencing and a whole host of other activities. All activities that fill our minds but do nothing for our bodies. It almost seems as if it is an entrapment of our minds to ensure that our bodies follow suit. It is a way to imprison our bodies without having to build a prison.

Ex British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has testified before that county’s COVID commission. This after at least a week or more coverage of this Commission and all I could, yet again hear, was blah blah blah.

The current British Deputy Prime Minister, Oliver Dowden, discussing Russian hacking group ahead of the elections. What I find interesting is that he also lumped in five eye countries. Russia’s FSB Centre 18 also going by the names Star Blizzard and Frontier. A British official said, “We are coming towards an election year. We want to get this hack and leak threat more into the bloodstream – so people are more aware.” This and the mystery pneumonia attacking children and old people has spread from China to the U.S. Does anyone else see a narrative table of sorts being set for next year? It almost seems similar to 2019.

As if on cue and to add another piece of flatware to this so called narrative table being set for next year’s elections the religious war could be heating up with the Presidents of Harvard, MIT and Penn all under fire for not condemning genocide. I agree genocide should never be tolerated and I am pleased to see an uproar. My only question now is why are people just now seeing these people for the spineless morally corrupt vipers that they are? How many others in academia have no moral standing but are merely leftist puppets? Too many to fathom I would imagine at this point.

Speaker Johnson has within twenty four hours caved and added the FISA Section 702 back into the NDAA. Now I have to wonder if it was all just theater in the first place as his first refusal put him front and center on media as standing up to the deep state. Now that he has caved news of the cave are not front and center in the media. Oh, and this “cave in” comes after dealing with the notably anti human Chuck Schumer and the military is still going to fund abortion, transgender operations and more funding to Ukraine? This the same day that Secretary Austin, who has no credibility with me after his going along with allowing US Service members to be subjects in Big Pharma’s mRNA experiment, is threatening that troops will need to be sent to the Ukraine while our Southern Border is open? I hope this bill does not pass any floor votes because it should not. Time to pull out each individual item for a floor vote. So, what if it takes more time because we need to know where these supposed Senators and Representatives truly stand and they may have to do some work instead of working the D.C. cocktail fundraising circuits. It is disgusting to see the arrogance of these people.

I see that Italy has withdrawn from China’s Belt and Road and I think this is good news. Now I wonder what or if Italy will do anything about keeping its churches and cathedrals from being turned into mosques?

A shooting in Las Vegas in a gun free zone, with a pistol and the Dems, as if on cue, immediately call for an assault weapons ban. I commend the UNLV Police who responded immediately to put the shooter down, however.

Taylor Swift is Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. She is dating Travis Kelce, Big Pharma’s poster boy. The image manufacturing business is running full time propping these two up with backing from Big Pharma no doubt. All I do is yawn yet again because I really could give a rip about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

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.

Henry Kissinger is dead at 100 years of age and reading the news certainly caused me to pause. I can remember him from my youth as the way his name sounded, to a youngster, was different and difficult for me to ignore. Of course, I had no idea who he was or what he represented at the time. Now I am more familiar with some of the things that he did, such as open up China while serving in the Nixon administration, leveraging his political ties afterwards to make millions of dollars opening China to western businesses, purportedly being a founder of the World Economic Forum and who knows what else. One thing for certain is he was an Internationalist and a powerful one at that. I will pray for his soul and for his family whether I agree with his stances or not because something tells me he is going to need it.

The southern border of the United States is still wide open and yet President Biden, his puppet masters, and several in Congress want to tie over a billion dollars in aid to Ukraine, Israel, and southern border controls together. I cannot believe the arrogance of these folks. I wish the leaders of Congress would vote individually on these matters so we could see where our Representatives and Senators actually stood on these issues. However, they will not, most likely, because most of these people are good at sales and deal making or else, they would not be in office. They do not appear willing to actually take a moral stand and lack conviction for anything but maintaining their station in office.

To me, if Representatives and Senators actually read the Constitution that they took an oath to defend rather than maneuver, plot, and position themselves for reelection they would understand one of the few specific duties of the Federal Government duties is the defense of our borders. The clearest and most present danger is the army of illegals crossing the southern border, end of story. I think there could be an argument that those who profit from this flood could be considered enemies within our border which is an even more frightening proposition. We have no clue what the intentions of many of the illegals are nor their willingness to learn and assimilate within a Constitutional Republic and this is dangerous. Ukraine and Israel are but mere distractions to many Americans away from the real, clear and present dangers to our society and ways of life. In other words, please do not ask me to fight someone else’s battles when there is a battle raging right in my backyard whether we want to admit it or not.

I have been listening in to a podcast in which the gentlemen, who shall remain nameless for the time being on my blog, pointed out that the power players in business, government, and media have failed to incite a race war in the united States and the world so now they are moving to one of the oldest methods of starting wars in the world, religion. Elements within the Israeli government allowed October 10 to happen to gain support for a disproportionate Israeli response which in turn will inflame anti-Jewish responses throughout the world etc. This will in turn lead to attacks against Christians and the next thing we know we have a full scale religious war spreading throughout the world. As soon as I heard him speak, I took pause, looked at my own feelings, and agreed with his view. Now, many weeks later we see pro Palestine and pro-Israeli marches around the world, attacks on Jewish centers and even two Palestinians killed in the united States. I only pray that cooler heads will prevail because religious wars, as all wars, never end until they burn out. Like fire, wars are often unpredictable and leave nothing but charred ruins in their wakes.

King Charles, of England, is attending or attended COP and blathered some stuff about the climate and how we all need to do our part and blah blah blah. I wonder if he used a private jet to get to Dubai where COP is being held? All these climate change conferences do is provide cover for the elites to meet, discuss, trade and do whatever it is that the ruling elites do in my opinion. Once thing I am certain of is that I will obtain no material benefit from their days of blathering and partying, no doubt.

I saw a news report from China in which the mystery respiratory illness is running rampant through school age children. My first question is how many of these youngsters received the experimental mRNA injection? Once that number is known then a follow up question would be how has the experimental injection compromised the youngsters’ immune systems? Questions that no doubt will not be answered, at least publicly.

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.

Senator Tuberville continues his hold out against the blanket confirmation of the President’s rubber stamp of military promotions in the General and Flag Officer ranks. However, some of his so called fellow Republican Senators are considering Senator Shumer’s with a resolution to the Senate Rules Committee to essentially do an end around Senator Tuberville’s insistence that he cannot approve some of the promotions because the promotions would violate the Hyde Amendment because of the proposed military promotions are for people who support abortion. Of course, the Republicans who are willing to vote for this rules change include Senators Graham, Romney, Ernst and a couple of others, so far, that I am not familiar with. Big surprise there and what surprises me is that Senator McConnell is not on the list at least publicly but I am sure he is privately. In the amount of time, they have spent waiting for this to play out I have wonder how many of these promotions they could have individually approved or rejected? That would have just taken too much work I suppose and furthermore would have required the Senatorial staffs and Senators to take public stands on this issue, specifically, and they cannot have that with elections looming on the horizon.

It really is too bad that the funding of the Vice President was not cut as proposed by several in the House of Representatives. She really is a failure at doing her job and really should be fired. Maybe she will donate some of her salary to Secretary Buttigieg. Not likely!

Stop the presses! The Screen Actors Guild strike looks like it is over! Oh, my goodness! Time for more fresh fecal matter to be put out by Hollywood. I would imagine there is some serious constipation ready for release.

The Associated Press has cut ties with Hassan Eslaiah the free-lance photographer who was embedded with Hamas during the October 7 attack on Israel. Of course, not before photographs that he took to include a selfie with Yahya Sinwar the Hamas mastermind of the attack. I wonder how many clicks and increased revenue the AP and other news outlets received publishing Eslaiah’s photographs?

Has anyone noticed how quiet and controlled the press releases from the Israeli side of the Gazan invasion are? The Israeli’s are true masters at controlling narratives and the press. So much so that there is still no mention of why Hamas was able to penetrate Israeli defenses on October 7. I am still not convinces that Israeli Intelligence, at some lever, did not know in advance the attacks were going to occur especially when freelance photographers etc. were embedded with Hamas. The best kept secrets are secrets never told and once told they are no longer secrets. Why was there an apparent stand down at the Gazan border that allowed this attack to be so successful? It just makes me wonder.

Houthis have purportedly shot down a US Drone in or around Yemen. Geez President Biden did you do that? Did your policies of delisting the Houthis and allowing Iran, who has declared the United States and enemy, embolden if not fund the Houthis?

Pro Palestinians have defaced Britain’s Cenotaph war memorial the same week as Armistice Day. When will the west wake up to the fact that Islam is not a peace loving religion? When will Christians and others realize that Islam that demands total subservience not only religiously but politically? Islam is a religion or movement that not only subscribes how to live life but how to govern peoples. It is an insidious movement that will do whatever it takes to infiltrate and overthrow existing governing structures and install its own according to the Quran if it cannot outright invade. Just read about what happened to Constantinople in its later years and how its decay led to inviting Muslim to do menial work for the corrupt, lazy, and incompetent elites of its crumbling empire. So many parallels it makes me wonder if there is any hope for the western liberal Christian based ideal.

Finally, I will take a pause this weekend and attend an annual Veteran’s Day parade in honor of all those who have served. It usually is a solitary event for me since none in my family or immediate circle of friends usually wants to attend and quite frankly it is OK with me since none of them are veterans and they really do not understand. They do not understand that it is not just a parade for me and that I really am not alone. I am not alone in my memories of all those over the decades that I served with who have come and gone in my life. Some I liked some I did not. Some liked me and some did not like me but we all took oaths and “did our time”. I am not sure of the motivations that led others to serve our country and my motivations changed over time, quite honestly. The one thing that we all did, however, was to serve our country whether we agreed to it or not in the case of many who were drafted in Vietnam through World War II, though the numbers of those who were drafted are diminishing. The one thing we all had to learn was to be part of a team at minimum a basic level just to make it through boot camp or whatever path to a commissioning that we took. To all the Veterans out there I want to say, “thank you for your service”.

I have committed to posting something to this blog at least one time per week and lately I have been slacking a bit doing this. So, therefore, I am typing despite not really having paid much attention to anything in the news this week. Regardless, here I go.

The United States has a new Speaker of the House and it appears that he is on the side of the Neocons in his support for Israel and going to war in the Middle East. God help humanity because the puppet masters pulling strings seem to want this war so that they can maintain their power in the world and in the process kill a whole bunch of people. These people do not support life but rather are purveyors of death.

Speaking of the new Speaker, I read that he is going to allow a border and immigration bill of sorts to pass through the House. Of course, it is already being written that the Republicans in the Senate, the ringleader being Sen. McConnell, will not allow it to pass as written. This because he and others are beholden to those who are making money off the out of control border immigration issue. Is there any wonder why even the RINO Republicans are against the border wall and controlling the border. They and those who they represent are making too much money and maintaining their power with an open border. All I can do is yawn when I read these stories. The media will make a big deal out of it and nothing substantive will change except that the politicians will tout their positions this upcoming election cycle. OK before I fall asleep, I need to move onto another topic.

Out west in the United States the mainstream media is touting an El Nino year and because of its blah blah blah. Personally, I think the winter will be a little warmer than last winter because the effects of the Hua Tonga Volcano eruption will not be as pronounced in the earth’s upper atmosphere as we are now deeper into the second year after the eruption. I believe much of the light reflecting particulate has settled back into the lower atmosphere, however, there is still some residual to reflect light. This will still impact weather patterns but not as severely. It will be interesting to see how this effects the weather patterns and only time will tell, not a media report quoting the so called experts.

I read today that JP Morgan, Citibank and others are taking huge losses to the tune of 10’s of billions of dollars due to their exposures to US Treasuries. Personally, I can hardly even comprehend the quantities being bandied about and want to use scientific notation to write these figures out to aid in the ease and simplicity of writing them. Nine zeroes after the figures and the banks get to just write them off as if nothing happened as people behind closed doors in the city of Washington, New York, and San Francisco argue among themselves trying to figure out how to maintain confidence in the system.

I must ask myself why do I even worry about paying my credit cards and debt? They certainly do not because it is not the money, they are concerned about but rather it is how to maintain their lifestyles at the expense of the vast majority of the people in the country. I still wonder what would happen if the country as a whole decided not to support their lavish lifestyles in New York City, The Hamptons, San Francisco, Marin County, Washington D.C. etc.? Would there be chaos? Sure, there would be but would it be worse for the men and women who have never had to do hard work in their lives or those who already know how to wash dishes, swing a hammer, turn a wrench, farm and or hunt for the food they eat?

Speaking of the food that we eat I went to the grocery store the other day and yet another item that had not had its price raised much in the last year suddenly had nearly a 25% increase in its price. The pundits, government officials and so called experts can talk all they want but inflation is real, it is here and it is much higher than the official CPI. All this so the elites can maintain and illusion of stability so they can maintain their lifestyles on the backs of most Americans.

Sure, it makes it less expensive to pay the debt but at what cost? The inflation eats away at savings in dollars and one must devote more of his time laboring to maintain their same lifestyle. What irritates me to no end is the beneficiaries of this inflation have no clue or care one wit what it does to those who labor to maintain the elite’s lifestyles. This can only go on for so long before the system can no longer maintain itself because the dollar is no longer tied to the real economy, the economy of labor for bread, shelter, and transportation. Of course, I would imagine the socially inept geeks who made their fortunes on computers will try and make robots to do this work because we all know they do not like nor want to be with or compete with real human beings. Human beings are too unpredictable, dirty, and free thinking to their tastes unlike computers that are cold, logical and controllable.

Politician’s Dotage

I must wonder why it is that in Congress and the Presidency we, in the united states of America have a propensity for selecting and reelecting folks so obviously in their dotage? Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, Mitch McConnell, Strom Thurmond and from what I understand even Ronald Reagan was in pretty rough shape at the end of his second term. I am sure there are more examples but these are the first few that have come to my mind. The next thought that comes to mind is how can we prove or could we have proven these folks were truly in their dotage and unable to rationally hold their offices?

First off, these folks are quite good at what they do or else they would have never risen to the level of power that they have rose or risen to. I may not like them personally, their politics or their business practices but they have to have been shrewd, calculating and ruthless at a very minimum. I cannot imagine it is easy to rise to the leads of their parties in either house of Congress, Governor of one’s state or the titular head of a criminal influence peddling family without these qualities. Furthermore, they must have or had teams surrounding them that are willing to serve, guide and loyal to them through thick and thin.

Coming back to dotage and having to prove they are in their dotage; I have to wonder how one can prove they are incapable of carrying out their duties of office? The folks surrounding them must be benefiting immensely from their proximity to these folks and so therefor will protect them, no matter what from any real scrutiny. These intimate supporters on the inside appear, at least in the case of Joe Biden, willing to do whatever and I mean whatever it takes to prop up a tottering individual who has no business or capacity to be holding the office of the Presidency of the united states on America.

If one were to argue there should be an age limit, I would have to disagree because I was particularly struck listening to Tucker Carlson’s interview of Donald Trump a few months ago and President Trump did not miss a beat. His eyes were lucid, he could quickly and articulately phrase his answers and unlike the reporters who question Joe Biden, Tucker Carlson asked Donald Trump some hard questions. President Trump still did not miss a beat and he looked healthy despite his advancing age. In fact, he looked better and statelier now than he did four years ago if solely because he is allowing his hair to go gray. Contrast him with Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi and the differences are striking. One who made his fortune creating wealth and the others who have made their fortunes off the backs of those who create wealth. One who has had to be sharp, quick, and nimble versus those who have spent their lives mired in the morass of Washington D.C. and one must wonder what it will take to change the way Washington City operates?

Israel Palestine Thoughts 10/21/2023

The tension in the Middle East is palpable, or is it? Quite honestly it has impacted me by creating yet another noisy media event and some of my Israeli colleagues being called back to Israel which, in a sense, is very real, especially for them. Peacetime business is drying up and the war dogs are howling beyond the background noise of the information war that always is being fought and that will no doubt always be waged.

I cannot help but wonder what elements within the Israeli Government allowed the atrocity to be committed by the Gazan vermin who happen to follow Islam? Watching videos of the vermin breaching the border I noticed at least one surveillance balloon; empty guard towers and fence lines being breached unopposed and I am supposed to believe the vaunted Israeli Defense Forces did not notice this happening in real time and they did not have the means to stop this before it spiraled in the way it did?

What I can believe is that an oppressive government who shut an entire country down for a bad and in many cases lethal strain of manmade flu, forced its population to become a giant pharmaceutical experiment for an untried and untested genetic modification, enacted strict gun control laws, and was facing a political threat to their government engineered and allowed this attack to happen to maintain its power. This to me, is the most plausible explanation for why this happened. Furthermore, this abject failure which appears to be an engineered failure is a discussion that needs to happen now and not after it drags the whole world into a maelstrom beyond that which has already occurred and it is a discussion devoid of emotion as much as possible.

Was what the Hamas vermin did wrong? Yes! Absolutely and they should be held accountable. There is no place in my world for these vermin. However, I must ask myself, “what about the vermin who allowed this attack to happen?” which supports my assertion that the discussion needs to happen now. As an American all I must do is look at what elements within my own country are trying to do. They constantly push gun control, states followed the lead of the Federal Government’s non-elected bureaucrats in shutting down most of the country over a bad case of manmade flu, States and businesses coerced millions into taking an untried and little tested genetic modification, an open southern border that is allowing who knows through with who knows what intent, and this powerful political element is facing an existential threat to its power due to a restive populist movement. This is the same vermin that forced the Patriot Act down our throats in the highly emotional times after the attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon and hyped the coronavirus to impose even more unconstitutional “emergency” powers over the united states of America.

War and fabricated emergencies have been the answer of autocrats, despots, and dictators for hundreds if not thousands of years when its populace becomes restive. This is nothing new and they do not fool me nor, quite frankly, do they fool many others. The purveyors of war and death become empowered from the blood of the innocent and do not give a second thought about it. I can only pray that it is not too late because a genie has been let out of its bottle and I can only wonder if the genie will go back into its bottle sooner with minimal chaos being dealt rather than later with much much more chaos being wrought in ways that I do not want to even think of.
