Electric Grid Basics

I have been sitting quiet for the last year or so watching, listening, and reading all the news about energy, energy production, and specifically electric power production. I have a bit of experience in electric power production and thought I would share a bit of what I know.

Electricity in the United States and in other parts of the world is distributed to end users through what is called “the grid” or “distribution grid”. The grid in turn is supplied electricity by electric power producers who own and operate generators. These generators come in all sorts of sizes and shapes and are fueled using fossil fuels, nuclear fusion, and even alternative energy sources. Many do not know but the United States is divided into more than one “grid” that operate independently of each other much as the United States grid is separate from Europe’s grid, Japan’s grin, China’s grid, etc.

To maintain these grids a certain voltage must always be maintained on the grid and if one does not understand how electricity works, voltage (electric potential) is what drives electricity flow much as pressure from a pump or change in elevation drives water, oil or any other liquid flow.

Generators are the pumps of electricity and are what create the voltage or potential to drive current flow through power transmission lines, grid, to our houses and business. The generators create this voltage in different ways as some generators rotate in the case of alternating current generators and some create direct current voltage as in the case of solar panels, for instance. For us to plug in our computers, run our appliances, and turn on our lights this voltage is converted to electric current when these items are turned on. However, when the switches are moved to turn all these items on there is a drop in voltage (see ohms law). To maintain voltage on the grid when the demand for all these appliances, computers, motors, and lights the managers of the grid must ensure there is sufficient power generation to maintain this voltage on the grid. In other words, with higher demand on the grid the managers of the grid must ensure more generators are supplying the grid.

For the operators of the grids to ensure there is sufficient generation capacity to make up for all the switches being flipped they must maintain a certain amount of excess generation is supplying the grid at any given time to support the voltage on the grid. This excess generation must be available because the voltage drops due to increases in current flow are seen immediately and ripple through the grid in fractions of seconds. After more than a century of operating grids there has developed a science with tried and true methods to operating grids in relatively efficient ways. For instance, the operators of the grids can usually predict when electricity demand will peak and fall. For instance, it is well known that in the peak of summer heat air conditioner usage will be at its highest and so therefore maximum generation will be required. Thus, the grid operators have contracts in place and in some cases own peak generation capabilities that they can turn on or off depending on what the grid demands are.

This leads me to explain that there are two broad terms used in the electric power generation world and this is base load generation and peak load generation.  Base load generation is that “base” of power that is always going to be used no matter what. For instance, in our house’s refrigerators, some appliances always have lights shining and are never turned off and so this would be considered a base load demand. Extending these demands to tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of houses to include businesses whose security systems, many computer servers, and lights that are always on this becomes what is considered base load electricity demand. Peak load demand, in turn, happens during those times of the year or ay when more air conditioners, lights, appliances etc. are being used as previously mentioned.

The best base load generators are the big natural gas, coal, and oil fired facilities in addition in the alternative/renewable energy world geothermal and hydroelectric electric power production are also considered base load power generation sources. I will admit, however, there is an argument to make that hydroelectric being susceptible to droughts may not be considered a base load power source. To be considered a base load facility the facilities must be capable of generating power twenty four hours a day seven days a week. Solar and wind power cannot provide base load power because they are subject to the vagaries of weather on a minute by minute basis potentially. Wind does not always blow and the sun does not shine at night or as strongly when it is cloudy, for instance. Solar is great as a peak power supplement as there is a great increased use of air conditioners in the hot summer months when the sun is shining at its highest and typically when there is not too much cloud cover. We all must understand that solar and wind cannot be considered a base load generation capability but for some reason are touted as the best alternative energy sources or at least get the best press. Geothermal power production and hydroelectric power production are true base load sources. In fact, geothermal power production is the only alternative power production source completely independent of weather and weather patterns currently generating electricity at the commercial level that I know of.

This is a much more complicated system obviously but this is it in essence. It is more complicated as no base load facility can run indefinitely without maintenance shutdowns, the grid is quite complicated with series of transformers and protections throughout to change voltages up to down for the transfer of power to end users. In fact, in some cases there is a conversion of direct current generation to alternating current in the case of solar power generation and in some cases alternate current to direct current. Also, no one company owns the whole of electricity generation and delivery with small independent power producers to large utility generators and even different business owning the transmissions lines from the generators and everything in between. With the many interests there are also contractual challenges, natural resource supply, and regulatory issues adding yet more layers of complexity.

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 in a sort of journal format.

Liz Truss is out and Jeremy Hunt, globalist extraordinaire, is back in the mix along with BoJo in Britain. What else could possibly happen in the topsy turvy world of British politics? Quite honestly, why do I give a twitters tweet?

The average family has lost the equivalent of $6,000 dollars this past year due to the ravages of inflation. Everyone wants to blame Joe Biden which he should be blamed but he is not the only one who should be blamed. How about all the other members of Congress on both sides of the aisle who passed the ridiculous spending packages in the name of COVID relief.

New Zealand is canceling Shakespeare? What? Huh?

President Biden was just telling us all how to get student loan forgiveness. I wonder if I would be able to file a claim for the loans that I paid off more than twenty years ago? The loans that I paid off ahead of time because I can do math and realize the amount of money that I saved by paying these loans off early. Oh, let us not forget the sacrifice in lifestyle that I committed to pay these loans off early.

Mike Lee the Senator from Utah is outing Mitt Romney, Utah’s other Senator, because Mitt Romney will not endorse him in Mike Lee’s reelection. Yet again Mitt Romney’s true colors are on full display and they are blue, not red.

So, a juvenile kills 5 with a shotgun and President Biden calls for an assault weapons ban yet again. Last time I checked, a shotgun is not an assault weapon and the kid had a weapon he was not supposed to have. So, I am now supposed to believe that criminals will still not be able to get weapons if the weapons are illegal to have? Get real.

President Biden extended the COVID Emergency declaration another 90 days? What? Huh? Why did he need to extend it? What sorts of dictatorial power do his handlers not want to give up? As if to follow in lockstep the Governors of California and Illinois have done the same thing for their respective states. In the same news segment that I saw the coverage I saw coverage of the Chinese Communist Party Congress. I found it interesting that the Politburo, sitting up on the dais, did not have to wear masks yet everyone else in the room had to wear masks. Hmm, the optics are not good on this for the Governors of California and Illinois but, then again, perhaps they are just how these two governors lean? Perhaps they are in all actuality being controlled in some way by the Chinese Communist Party? I bet if the two governors attended the Chinese Communist Party Congress they would be required to wear masks.

I found it interesting that Secretary of State Blinken has met with Condoleezza Rice in California at the University of Stanford. A socialist is now meeting with a neocon in an East Coast elite stronghold on the West Coast. Whatever were they cooking up?

I am still waiting for the Secret Service to investigate Nancy Pelosi for threatening a sitting President with bodily harm. Wait, is what is good for me not good for thee?

I am still grappling with the notion that someone of General Michael Keane’s’ stature and experience would want to give nuclear technology to the House of Sa’ud? Is it as a sort of balance against Israel and potentially Iran? If so, how does this help the situation for maintaining peace? Something just is not sitting right as I read about NATO and the US conducting regularly planned strategic bomber exercises in Europe. Is it not hard enough keeping the existing nuclear powers on the right side of war let alone allowing more into the nuclear club, so to speak?

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.

One time I donated to President Trump’s campaign and, in fact, I even supported Senator Graham during the 2020 election. It was obvious that my information was either given or sold to the Graham campaign because I was sent emails and texts that were remarkably like those that the Trump campaign sent. This election cycle my texts are getting blown up with solicitations from mostly Republican candidates and yet again they all essentially look the same as from 2020. What is amazing to me is how many phone numbers that these campaign organizations of businesses are purchasing because no matter how many of these numbers that I ignore, which is all of them, more texts keep rolling in.

Speaking of which I recently got several of these texts from the Republican National Party (RNC) despite being called by their phone callers more than once in which I told them that I will no longer support the RNC. I told the phone caller, both times, that so long as Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, the RINO Senator from Utah and other Republicans who would rather be in the minority rather than be leaders received support from the RNC I could no longer support the RNC. I have not received any more phone calls to my knowledge but I sure am getting a lot of texts. Of course, I ignore at least five calls a day that are obviously telemarketers or spam so perhaps I am giving them too much credit.

More January 6 hearings in the kangaroo committee in the US House of Representatives. I would yawn if it were not for the waste of taxpayer money, time, and affront to freedom that it represents. Just ask Brandon Straka and others while Nancy Pelosi who threatened to punch President Trump while he was still in office was never arrested and will surely not be called before the kangaroo committee. Who really incites violence?

Speaking of California, the state that Nancy Pelosi’s tiny district that she supposedly represents is part of, I just learned that there is an organization or perhaps even a movement called the New California State which appears to be legitimate at least on the surface. I am impressed to learn that this seems to be well organized and to be honest well along in its development and organization. Stay tuned for more on this because I believe that I may have to “recognize” this new state. My concern is that I hope they are prepared for the attacks that inevitably will come at them from all corners of the dictatorial regime in California with backing from Washington D.C. See my comment on Nancy Pelosi in the preceding paragraph. One also need to look no further than the chair of the kangaroo committee representing yet another small district in the Golden State.

The Russians have shot several rocket volleys over the Ukraine in the past week. I thought their rocket reserves were decimated and that Russia was on the verge of collapse? You will have to pardon my cynicism and pessimism but I do not believe a word that is coming out of the mainstream media, the US Government spokes people, and certainly not out of the White House. Now Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is saying the Ukraine conflict was solely started by Russia? This is the same man who is forcing by coercion US Military personnel to take an experimental mRNA injection or be separated from the military and I am supposed to believe and trust what he says in truth? A man who was until just a couple of years ago on the payroll of Raytheon? I don’t think so.

Alex Jones has been handed a penalty of nearly a billion dollars based on a sham trial in which the Judge, an obvious political hack, would not even allow him to defend himself. This because he failed to produce documents that did not exist and in which Alex Jones admitted that he made a mistake. Whoa whoa whoa! Wait a New York second. I am not familiar with the details of the trial and what Mr. Jones said, did not say, or what his organization did. However, I have been aware of Alex Jones for well over a decade and know that he is anything but a conformist. My impression is that he is passionate and will say what is on his mind at any given moment whether it is right or wrong but will admit when he is wrong which apparently happened in the case of Sandy Hook. This leads me to question the magnitude of response against Mr. Jones in this matter. It seems to be way out of proportion and has me questioning if this is not a political-economic hit job when the media is constantly falsifying and covering up for those in the elite (i.e., Hunter Biden, Iraq War justification, Benghazi, Hillary Clinton server, Russia Collusion etc.). All I can think now is that apparently Alex Jones is over the target for there to be such a ridiculous trial and penalty to be levied against him. I must ask, for the umpteenth (who knows how many) time, what really is going on here? This appears to be a complete sham against him and quite honestly a criminal conspiracy. What about Mr. Jones’ First Amendment Rights and thanks to this ridiculous over reaction by the establishment and its blatant violation to guarantee his First Amendment Rights I must think that Mr. Jones is probably correct about more and more things than ever before.

I have been checking this website’s statistics and how many visitors I am getting per day and per week. Needless to say, it is not too many and I am OK with that. After all, I must wonder with the bots and algorithms written and controlled by Twitter, Google, Facebook and the others just how many visits their sites really are getting? I know it is more than me as it should but I now am quite confident that they really are not as big as they purport to be. In fact, like Lucifer they are mostly illusion using lies and deception to hoodwink a great number of people into giving up their souls.

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.

Don’t Ask Me To Your War Party

Watching and listening the news surrounding the Ukraine, the Nordstream pipeline, President Biden and his family lining their pocketbooks by promising more aid to Ukraine, and now the Russians firing missiles into Kyiv I am feeling even more uneasy. This uneasiness was stoked initially after watching General Jack Keane (Retired) speaking on the Mark Levin Show a week ago. For those who may not know Jack Keane, in addition to being a retired US Army 4 star general officer, he currently sits on the board for the Institute for Study of War funded by General Dynamics, DynCorp and previously by Raytheon according to Wikipedia (I know I know I don’t have time to verify). Additionally, Gen. Keane is a founder of International, Peace, and Prosperity (IP3) whose purpose is to transfer nuclear technology from the United States to Saudi Arabia (again according to Wikipedia).

In the interview I was surprised at the vehemence that both the General and Mark Levin had in branding the Russians as the enemy and additionally denouncing those who would even merely suggest that the United States or its surrogates may have anything to do with the sabotage of the Nordstream Pipeline. There was one moment in the interview when the real Jack Keane flashed his combat look and it was that of the steely eyed determination of a combat veteran and quite honestly it was frightening. I have seen this look before, in more than a few instances, and I suddenly became aware of something. That is that a war is, indeed being waged, and we Americans better wake up.

Why am I uneasy now one may ask? I am uneasy of this because it appears to me that not only are the Neocons (I now put Mark Levin and General Keane in this category) waging war against the Russians but they are waging war against free and open debate on the Ukraine in the United States. What I deduced from this conversation is that they want to dictate the narrative and that they not only want me to agree but that they expect me to believe what they are saying. Even more frightening is that I now believe that they will do whatever is necessary to ensure their agenda succeeds and they have serious backing (defense industry backing) for support.

The reason I believe this is General Keane is part of a group supporting the transfer of Nuclear Technology to the House of Saud, sits on the board of a think tank backed by huge players in the defense industry, and is on the Mark Levin show discussing how to fight a nuclear exchange with the Russians at the same time Russian President Vladimir Putin is publicly stating that Russia reserves the right (and capability no doubt) to use nuclear weapons to defend itself. I am supposed to accept that all is rosy in their view of the world knowing these facts? Why is no one in the mainstream media and politics not discussing the increase in rhetoric around the use of nuclear weapons and how to cool this situation off?!? This is not a good thing and I would argue that the Russians have just demonstrated this fact with the missile strikes across the Ukraine!

Is it because the greedy members of the Democratic Party (i.e. Biden and Clinton Families) are making too much money from kickbacks from the Ukrainian aid, is it because the leftist ideologues in the Democratic Party (i.e. Obama, Rice etc.) want a nuclear war to tear down the system so they can rebuild it in the image that they envision, or perhaps the Neocons who run the deep state who see an opportunity to further or somehow strengthen their grips on the levers of power in the government? Or could it be some hermaphrodite version of either or any or all the above or even something else I do not know. What I do know is that they are playing with a fire and that is dangerous beyond all comprehension and the consequences of this fire getting out of control are not good. 

As a child of the Cold War, I find it reprehensible and an affront to my service that these so called leaders would even consider taking steps in the direction that they are going. I must ask myself where are the adults in the room when these characters are having these conversations? It appears to me that they believe they are truly untouchable and most importantly they truly believe the rhetoric and are not afraid of the consequences of the actions that they are supporting, suggesting, and or executing.

I believe in summary what is bothering me is that there really is no good explanation being made to the public as to why these actions are underway. Maybe there is a good reason from their point of view but it is not being shared with me nor do I expect it to be shared with me because I am more than familiar with the arrogance of the East and West Coast ruling elites in the United States. To them I am cannon fodder and menial labor to be kept waiting and expected to jump when called upon to jump. Do I believe they care about me, my family, or my friends? No, I do not, and if fact I am starting to understand that they really do not even see me as a human being but rather as chattel to be used and discarded as they see fit. Perhaps, this is what Vladimir Putin is feeling right now as all forms of communication in terms of trade, finance, and travel are being cut to the country he presides over?

As the East Coast elites hype up the war in Ukraine, I must ask myself who has our six with regards to China? China seems to be conspicuously silent as their surrogate North Korea launches missiles and I cannot but help but wonder what they are up to? America be careful of the East Coast elites who by nature tend to focus primarily on Europe while they are unwittingly losing a war against an Asian enemy who does not play by the same rules.

In closing, I am reminded of a song by Eddy Grant a Guyanese British artist who was born in 1948 called “War Party” which was released in 1982 on his Killer on the Rampage album. I am not sure specifically for what conflict or what continent this song was written, but it seems to have universal meaning, at least for me sitting in North America thinking about Europe and the rest of the world. The lyrics go something like this:

You invite me to a war party, me no wanna go

Everybody seem to be invitin’ me to a war party, me no wanna go

Heard about the last one so thanks but no thanks

yo ho, a yo ho

You killed off all the Indians and you killed off all the slaves

and not quite so you kill of the remains

you look for me, I lookin’ for you

I can’t believe what say bout you is true

That you are a bastard just like Pharaoh

You kill the children just like Pharaoh

Now you send a ticket for me

You don’t have a RSVP

Oh Lord it’s a war party, me no wanna go

Everybody seem to be invitin’ me to a war party, me no wanna go

Heard about the last one so thanks but no thanks

yo ho, a yo ho

You invited all our wise men many times before

To dance around your fires and even up your scores

and when those spaken of the valiant and the brave

The only decoration is the one above the grave

You’re a bastard just like Pharaoh

You kill the children just like Pharaoh

Now you send a ticket for me

And you don’t have RSVP

Oh Lord it’s a war party, me no wanna go

Everybody seem to be invitin’ me to a war party, me no wanna go

Heard about the last one so thanks but no thanks

yo ho, a yo ho

Please don’t send no ticket for me

No, don’t send no ticket

No, don’t send no ticket for me if you don’t have RSVP

Oh Lord it’s a war party, me no wanna go

Everybody seem to be invitin’ me to a war party, me no wanna go

Heard about the last one so thanks but no thanks,

do you wanna go, say no

Do you wanna go, say no

Me no wanna go right now, Me no wanna go right now

They invite me to a war party, me no wanna go

Everybody seem to be invitin’ me to a war party, me no wanna go

God Bless

 I see that Anthony Fauci and his wife’s net worth increased $5 million during the “Wuhan Virus (COVID) Pandemic” from offshore nonprofit organizations. What? Wait a minute? This in addition that he, a long tenured Public Official, has a net worth of over $12 million dollars? An unelected official with the power to shut economies down! How did this happen?

It seems that there are protests all over Iran and the Biden administration will not even acknowledge or express support for protesters against a totalitarian repressive regime. Instead, the administration wants to be part of a deal that sends hundreds of millions if not a billion dollars to this repressive regime. What does this say about the Biden Administration? I understand this is a rhetorical question but who really is in charge of the Biden Administration? It appears to be the Shi’a operatives in the administration and who have a firm grasp of the administration want their own form of totalitarian regime in the United States. Otherwise, they would be in support of the protesters and not be repressing free speech, freedom of assembly, and not be supportive of censorship in the United States.

UK born Peter Daszak’s Ecohealth Alliance, a non-profit non-governmental organization, received a $3 million grant to do research in Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos that will go through 2027?!?! You have got to be kidding me!!! This guy and those that fund him appear to be responsible for the Wuhan (COVID) Virus disaster and Anthony Fauci is giving them more money! Why are these experiments being conducted in three of the world’s poorest countries? Would it be because these countries are so poor that the allure of money blinds them or perhaps it is because they have been deceived to the realities of what these experiments could lead to? I cannot help but think that if something looks like a dog, wags its tail like a dog, and barks like a dog it probably is a dog.

California Governor Newsom is promising $1050 stimulus checks to the residents of California to minimize the effects of inflation. I do not know what is more troubling, that California residents believe there is no downside to receiving these checks or that Governor Newsom is using American Rescue Plan Act money either directly or indirectly as a slush fund to buy votes in the coming election. Even more troubling is that opposition politicians and media inside and outside the Golden State are not calling the use of the American Rescue Plan Act funds in this matter for what it is, a slush fund.

Herschel Walker is being accused of action by an anonymous source on the eve of an election in which he has a legitimate chance to win. I don’t know Herschel Walker other than that he was a great football player and yes, I know football players live a far different lifestyle than I do. Also, that this lifestyle can be one that catering to young men and their appetites. Is it a good lifestyle, necessarily? No, and it is within the realm of possibility that he committed these acts or has been close to others who lived this lifestyle. However, there is no proof, the accuser will not face him, and this is such an overused tactic of the Democrat Left, the most recent being Brett Kavanaugh, that I find it hard to believe.

State Farm Insurance is airing commercials featuring Patrick Mahomes this year and not Aaron Rogers during National Football League games being broadcast. Something tells me Aaron Rogers is no longer being asked to be in commercials because of his refusal to take the experimental mRNA jab and more importantly that he has taken a public stance in this matter. It is moments like this that I am glad to no longer use State Farm Insurance as my insurance carrier. I certainly will not be taking them off the list of companies who do not deserve my business any time soon.

God bless America and all of 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.

Tracking the progress of Hurricane Ian, I must pray for the wellbeing of those who have been impacted and will be impacted by it.

There is no doubt in my mind now that there is an unholy alliance between the leftists and neocons in the Biden administration and the Federal Government. My standard of living is decreasing, my fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the US Constitution and it’s Bill of Rights are under attack, the man occupying the office of President appears incompetent, and a war with a nuclear power is being stoked. If one were to watch Star Wars it appears that there is a Sith Lord operating in the background.

I listened to a news broadcast from the United Kingdom the day after the Nordstream Pipeline sabotage and found the language interesting. In an interview with this channel’s correspondent in Brussels he started his monologue by stating that if Russia (emphasis on if) was responsible then etc. and etc. By the time his monologue was complete his language had changed and he was stating that NATO will be taking certain actions. There was no repeat that the cause of the pipeline was unknown but finished that unequivocally it was Russia’s fault with no proof presented. It seems as if he were reading from a script that had been written prior to the attack designed to leave the listener believing action was necessary against Russia. To me, there is no reason whatsoever for Russia to sabotage one of its major revenue streams and when I listen to someone who is sort of subliminally telling me what I need to believe the hairs on my back rise. Something fishy is going on here and the smell is not coming from Denmark or Russia but rather the smell appears to be coming from Washington D.C., London, and Brussels.

I heard an interesting statistic this past week and it deals with demographics in the US. Evidently, those of African descent account for about 12% of the population, those who identify as a sex other than what they are is far less than 1%, and those who identify as homosexual is about 3%. OK, so what, one may ask. I bring this up because Hollywood and the media in the US and the UK now must always have a person of color in every show and additionally many now portray homosexual relationships and several have a woman and or a woman of color as either a lead character or in a position of power. I do not care one way or another, especially, if someone is qualified to do their job, what sex, ethnicity, or sexual orientation one is. What I mind is the amount of oxygen that is being sucked out of the public discourse and my limited entertainment bandwidth to push this agenda. What a waste of time and effort and quite honestly it is divisive and a misrepresentation of reality. It is quite honestly propagandist brainwashing being disguised as entertainment in my opinion. Quite honestly the entertainment value has declined as a result in most cases.

Watching the talking heads on national news has anyone else noticed and cringed at the amount of makeup and plastic surgery and hair coloring that these folks have? Personally, when I see a smooth face, it does not hide the wrinkles in their hands and necks and an instinctual roil on my stomach occurs. Though I do not typically get seasick I have felt a bit queasy in high seas when I cannot see the horizon and the feeling is similar. I attribute this to my mind not being able to reconcile what it is seeing with what it is feeling.  What I see in their faces does not match what the rest of their body shows me and the connection between what I see and feel does not match. 

Speaking of which maybe the queasiness that I feel when I watch Nancy Pelosi, Amy Klobochar, the aforementioned talking heads and others who use copious quantities of makeup, plastic surgery and hair coloring to appear youthful is due to climate change. After all, climate change seems to be the default reason for all the world’s problems and a queasy stomach is certainly a problem. OK, perhaps it is not only due to climate change, it is all Vladimir Putin’s fault! Of course, none of these problems are caused by Satanic, Luciferic beings yanking the chains of leaders inside the US, Europe, and Asia. Nor is any of it my fault for giving my power to these worthless demonic infested beings because then, after all, I would need to take responsibility for my own actions. Taking responsibility for one’s own actions would be such an outdated and blasé action now that it would be almost novel.

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 9.23.22

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.

Vladimir Putin has declared that he is mobilizing reserve forces in Russia and reiterated his statement that he will use nuclear weapons if he feels it necessary to protect Mother Russia. Well, to me there is nothing new in this statement. What is surprising to me is the feigned shock being displayed by our so called incompetent leaders in this country and the west.

Queen Elizabeth II has been eulogized and interned this week and for me as well as many others she will always be known as The Queen despite my owing nor professing any allegiance to her nor will I to King Charles III. I will simply call him King Charles or Charles Windsor. I do so not out of respect nor disrespect but rather, probably, out of ease of communication, efficiency and my ambivalence to the notion of aristocracy. Perhaps I should not be quite so ambivalent because there is a class of people in the US and world who still consider themselves to be aristocratic and above the law. This would be the class of people who are the so called leaders in government, business, and media who tell me directly and through their controlled surrogates that I am a worthless piece of dung while they jet around the world on their jets, yachts and limousines. I would imagine that they will have plenty of food and be warm this winter. After all this is attitude of efficiency, ease, and ambivalence is their attitude toward me which probably is giving them too much credit if I think twice about it.

I watched replays of the procession from Westminster Castle to Westminster Cathedral and from the cathedral to Windsor Castle’s St. George Cathedral and took note of Harry and his not being allowed to be in uniform and as well his Uncle Prince despite each of them having been in combat. It is a strange world and I would trust Harry more than I would William despite knowing and understanding why he did not serve his time in combat. Then again, I suppose Charles sees the writing on the wall and knows that he needs to trim up the family because the business will be under attack in the next many months if not years.

Speaking of which, the other day someone asked me if I think the monarchy is a good thing and should survive the death of Queen Elizabeth II? My response was a bit muddled and at times incoherent but nevertheless I did manage a bit of an extemporaneous reply. I acknowledged that the English Bill of Rights from which the US Bill of Rights was derived was developed to curb the power of the monarchy and for that reason I believe everyone should be wary of someone or one institution or cabal of institutions developing absolute power. For this reason, I am wary of the monarchy and at the same time I am aware of the growing power of Big Tech and the International Elites and how we should fight as if our lives depended upon the rights guaranteed us in the Bill of Rights and our Constitution as if our lives depended upon them. Because quite frankly, they do.

On the other hand, Queen Elizabeth II and her reign were a relatively benign reign and she was not too interested in amassing power for herself but in turn provided a sense of stability, a sense of history, and a sense of formality midst a world that seems to be intent on destroying or forgetting. Again, I have mixed emotions of this and wonder why we as humans are drawn to this, if it is necessary, and at the same feel a certain wonderment about it. It seems almost hypnotic and yet comforting at the same time.

The Clinton Global Initiative is back for the first time 2016. What is going on here? I wonder why the Clinton’s are ramping up their money laundering machine yet again? It seems there will be a host of celebrities in attendance as well. Celebrities that I will no longer watch, listen to, and especially purchase anything of again. Yes, I am speaking especially to you Bono.

I will say one good thing that has come out of The Woman King’s release this past weekend is how much uproar within the left there is about the Dahomey tribe’s involvement in the slave trade. As for the movie I will not pay nor will I take the time to watch it ever. So much of the unoriginal drivel being pumped out of Hollywood is woke garbage based not on fact but on ideology. I watched the latest Lord of the Rings spin off and the warrior leaders are women and women of color. I am sorry but in combat, and there are a few exceptions to the rule, women, in general, are not going to last too long no matter what Hollywood says. I would imagine the real Woman King always had a guard of male warriors around her.

It provides me a sense of relief, albeit temporary, to see that the Firth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the Texas bill allowing users to sue social media platforms if one feels their accounts have been wrongfully suspended or censored. Of course, I would assume this will go to the Supreme Court. What is disturbing is the level of corruption in Congress that has allowed this censorship to happen in the first place. Again, I call for the removal of Section 530 protections! However, since Congress seems incapable of doing so it appears Texas will.

I think Senator Graham is in the same camp as Senator McConnell and wants to work in the minority in Congress. After all, why would he make abortion a federal issue when it already has been settled by the Supreme Court that put the decision regarding abortion with states? Go home you neoconservative lap dog and keep your mouth shut until after the election for goodness sakes.

President Biden is addressed the UN General Assembly and all I heard was blah blah blah. He was either hooped up on drugs or they have the mean and serious looking double delivering the speech. Blah blah blah, Ukraine this, Russia that, the right to freedom of navigation and blah blah blah. How does any of this help me fill my vehicles gas tank up or have enough money for food? Blah blah blah and watch your step on the way out.

The illegal immigrants sent to Martha’s Vineyard are booted after one day. Hypocrisy on full display. What is good for you does not apply to me so says the Democrat elites.

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 9.16.22

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 am laughing today at the complete and total overreaction of Gavin Newsom, Hillary Clinton (I thought she had been put out to pasture), and other Democrat’s outrage at Governors DeSantis and Abbot transporting illegal immigrants to “sanctuary cities”. It is even more hilarious that the straw that broke the camel’s back, so to speak, was the transport of a couple of handfuls of illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard. Talk about Democrat hypocrisy being on full display. How about the millions of illegal immigrants being allowed to cross our countries southern borders you hypocrites? In the meantime, I need to take a moment to allow the ache from laughter in my midsection to subside.

Apparently, the number of Democrat candidates is growing around the country who are unwilling to debate their Republican opponents in debates this election season. I find it interesting that with all the reports of Democrats distancing themselves from President Biden these Democrats are following his basement campaign strategy. Perhaps, they are unwilling to debate because they know the fix is already in and do not want to risk overwhelming the fix with an increase in voters against their campaigns after potential bad showings in debates?

I just paid my Waste Management garbage pickup bill that is mandated by my county whether I use Waste Management’s services or not. I know in the good interest of good sanitation and cleanliness it is vitally important for garbage to be collected, however, what I am not comfortable with is my county giving essentially what amounts to a monopoly franchise for this service. Waste Management not only picks up garbage but they also control the transfer sites and landfill. On top of this their customer service really is not that good. I often wonder how they became so big and connected?

With all the money and aid that is being promised to Ukraine and knowledge of Hunter Biden’s murky ties to Ukraine, along with other high level Democrats, I cannot help but wonder how much of that taxpayer money is making it back to secret offshore accounts belonging to these Democrats and their cronies.

Major credit card companies are adding a category showing gun store purchases. I guess it is time to stop using my credit cards for anything. Unfortunately, all my credit cards are from these same companies. I wonder what I am going to do going forward because I certainly do not want to support these companies anymore.

Personally, it has been a long and difficult week and I am going to hoist and enjoy immensely a cold amber ale from one of my local breweries.

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 learned something about quantum computing and the meaning about the language used when discussing quantum computing. Specifically, a qubit is a basic unit of quantum information used by quantum computers. Whereas traditional processors use regular bits, which can be turned on or off to create binary code. Qubits, however, can be turned on, off, or both on and off simultaneously in a phenomenon known as superposition. I see why this is now the topic of a race between China, US Big Tech and others. I am sure because this is not a linear increase in computing power but rather a magnitude of order change in the ability to crunch data.

A group known as the New Civil Liberties Alliance has filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the Western District of Louisiana stating, “Public statements, emails, and recent publicly released documents establish that the President of the United States and other senior officials in the Biden Administration violated the First Amendment by directing social-media companies to censor viewpoints that conflict with the government’s messaging on Covid-19.”  For me this is an exciting development and long overdue. It is one thing for Big Tech to censor free speech but if they are doing it at the behest of those in government it is wrong on so many levels and it is indeed unconstitutional no matter what the subject matter is. Of course, is Zuckerberg and others in big tech merely throwing this out now because their end game is the elimination of government as we know it now? It would not surprise me because they really do not want to answer to anyone and it appears they consider themselves above the law.

Does anyone else believe for a New York second that the only reason Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsom and others are against the American Data Privacy and Protection Act solely for altruistic reasons? After all a large data holder is defined as generating $250 million in revenue and processing covered data of 5 million individuals. This immediately includes Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Twitter for starters and no doubt they are large campaign contributors and employers in California, Utah, and other states. They are not fooling me.

Speaking of the growing technocracy which appears to be in lock step with global elites I learned that Apple will be able to market their latest iPhone in Russia. So, Europe is going to freeze this winter, to travel to Russia, one must go through Turkey or the Middle East and yet Apple can sell their newest phone in Russia? Tell me who really is in charge here?

I am seeing the increased use of crowds behind President Biden and his public addresses similar to what President Trump pioneered. Typical behavior from the political leech class that has very little if any imagination. Too bad President Trump’s team could not have copyrighted the use of crowds behind him.

It will be interesting to see how Nevada’s governor, essentially a man granted dictatorial powers by the Democratic supermajority in Nevada’s legislature due to the COVID “emergency”, will respond to the murder of a reporter critical to one of his appointees. A man who has been charged with the murder of the appointee.

I just read a quote from James Madison and it goes, “A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty.”

Rest in Peace Bernard Shaw, Semper Fi, and my condolences to your family and friends.

Lastly, my condolences and prayers go out to the Windsor family and rest in peace Queen Elizabeth.

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.

After yesterday I am more firmly of the belief that the current Democrats in power are unwavering, uncompromising ideologues that are extremely dangerous for this country. I guess that I am a fascist, semi fascist, and or an extremist because I believe in the Constitution. A document that I swore to uphold many times. This group in charge does not want to find middle ground, in fact, they want total power and are showing more and more dictatorial tendencies by the day. I am finding more and more that they cannot nor will not be reasoned with. I cannot believe that President Biden (really his handlers) is doubling down on this matter.

Did anyone else feel the stage set that Biden used was eerily reminiscent of NAZI stagecraft? Red and black colors with military staged in the background. Quite chilling as a matter of fact.

Speaking of which it seems that Washington Post’s (Jeff Bezos’ propaganda outlet) Eugene Robinson branded Biden’s speech a wartime address. It seems that the Technocracy truly may be fomenting civil war in this country. Speaking of which a theory that has been posited but only recently came to my attention is that the end game of all this angst and division in our country is being created by and being stoked by technocrats with the end game being the creation of a technocracy. I need to think about this a bit but certainly at the surface it seems without a doubt plausible. Perhaps Big Tech is an enemy of The Constitution of the United States of America?

Speaker Pelosi does not support the Data Privacy Bill because “California has stricter data privacy laws”. She is essentially saying the Data Privacy Bill will supersede California’s laws which are “stricter”. I do not know for sure but alarms bells are sounding once again in my mind. Silicon Valley which borders Speaker Pelosi’s representative district and the tech giants that have undoubtedly supported her, her husband, and her family are not going to support a bill that holds them to a less restrictive regulatory environment? Yet again something smells fishy, and unlike the smells of fish in a San Francisco Chinatown market, this fishy smell is really rotten which is nothing new around the Pelosi/D’Alesandro family.

Twenty three pages redacted, including 10 of them completely redacted, from the affidavit from the DOJ to search President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home? Geez, they must have a lot of sources and methods being used to justify the raid. Sources and methods that one would think would be better used to perhaps go after international drug and human trafficking rings? How about international arms dealers that are illegally supplying these rings, terrorists and rogue nations? Or maybe pedophile rings, Hunter Biden’s laptop and his connections with the CCP at the least!? Give me a freakin’ break! What a waste of taxpayer money. Oh yes, and the Judge who signed the warrant represented one of Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators in a case. What an incestuous body of vile putrid water.

Mark Zuckerberg has admitted to what was painfully obvious with regards to censoring the Hunter Biden laptop information prior to the 2020 presidential election. Of course, he is blaming the FBI and is taking no responsibility for allowing it on to happen on his platform. What a weasel.

Stephen Smith and Ryan Clark? It is any wonder why I no longer watch ESPN. Talk about a couple of racists. They think because someone is black, they should be able to get away with anything. Blah blah blah, here is such a thing as reverse discrimination and racism.

I saw something that the CEO of Pfizer, Albert Bourla who ironically just announced that he tested positive for COVID, wants to put microchips in pharmaceuticals created by Pfizer. In the video I saw of him describing the uses for these microchips I became terrified. Paraphrasing what he said he mentioned that these can be used to ensure a person takes their medications. On the face this looks OK but what if someone is being coerced or forced to take a medication against their will? This has such potential for abuse by the petty and not so petty tyrants in our world. What’s next? The ruling elite class will be able to tell if I have taken my SOMA that makes me compliant and subservient to their dictates?

I just this week learned of the USDA raid of the Miller farm in rural Pennsylvania. Pfizer CEO

apparently, if one wants to eat and drink whole milk and organic produce and meats, they are going to have to obtain it on the black market. I must wonder what agricultural conglomerate has paid the USDA off to put the Miller family farm out of business so that they can scoop the land up at bargain basement prices? This reeks of yet more corrupt government overreach.

God bless America and all its citizens, 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.
