The Sowing of Chaos

I talked with my spouse and some of her family members this past weekend and found myself a bit resigned to what they were saying. I think what I struggled with is they seem really good at regurgitating what they have been told by whatever media source it is that they are listening to. One, obviously, was listening to a lot of Fox News, another to some alternative news sites and others who obviously were listening to other legacy news sources. I think what led to my sense of feeling resigned is how unoriginal their thinking and reasoning processes were and the lack of solutions to the problems they are being fed by the propaganda press. I asked them to take their listening and mental processing a step further, but I am not sure they heard me. A step further than just being able to regurgitate what is being told to them, to think about what the news means to them, at the same time to ask themselves if what is being reported important to them and why might the media claim it to be important? Again, I am not sure if they heard me, but it certainly helped me to clarify my thinking and thought processes.

For example, the other morning, sitting at the breakfast table, my spouse and I had a conversation about the transgender movement and who is doing what and what is being said by whom, according to our reading, listening, and watching. I was able to articulate, perhaps for the first time, in our conversation that this is all noise to me. It is noise that appears to be meant to distract me from something. What specifically that something is I do not know. However, when someone tries to tell me that a man can call himself a woman and compete against women despite still having a viable penis, testicles and who still produces testosterone at levels that a man produces testosterone is a woman, I must wonder. In fact, if this person has not had a change in sex before puberty they would still be at an advantage, in the case of a male transitioning to female, because their musculature and bone structures would have developed as a male. Sure, they could take drugs to reduce the amount of testosterone in their systems at that time, but they still would have the foundational advantage of a male in a competitive female sports competition. So much for Title IX and woman’s rights and another example of how the left will turn on their own when it no longer suits their goals.

As one can see, just in this small diatribe of mine, I have already wasted my readers and my time reading and writing a paragraph on a subject that should not even be an issue. Outside of the rare instance in which a person is born with hermaphrodite like sex organs this whole transgender movement is a ruse. A woman is born with female reproductive organs, a male is born with male reproductive organs, and each has their own sets and ratios of hormones being created within their bodies. Sure, some will have different ratios that place them outside the norm of their sex (i.e., some women may produce more testosterone relative to estrogen than the average female and likewise some men may produce less testosterone relative to estrogen than the average male) but that does not change the fact that they are the sex that they are born with for the vast majority of people. This is a non-issue that is being made into an issue and for what reason?

So, back to the conversation and the distractions being peddled by the propaganda media complex and government, I come back to the fundamental question of, “why?” Why are these distractions being peddled and I consider the question of sex identity to be one of many distractions. What I see in the immediate future is the release of the Supreme Court decision regarding Roe v. Wade and a seeming bipartisan agreement regarding gun control which I think is a bunch of hooey considering current laws are not being enforced but, for now, I will leave that as a subject for another conversation. What I see is midterm elections and the chess board being set. As far as I am concerned right now the news cycle, if you want to call it news since it really should be called the propaganda cycle, is gearing up for the midterms because there is a ton of money to be made in advertising and pushing the agendas of the corporate globalist leftist elites.

Refining my line of questioning I ask myself, “OK, why are these stories being pushed at this time knowing the midterm elections are just around the corner and only mere months away?” Further questions arise in my mind when framing the question this way such as, why has there been an uptick in “mass shootings” in the last couple of months that are now causing Congress to come up with “bipartisan” gun control legislation? Why has a George Soros backed company bought several Spanish language media outlets in the past week? Why is the uproar already building over the Supreme Court’s release of its Roe V Wade challenge? Summing all these questions I would say the common denominator is there seems to be an uptick in chaos that is purposely being stoked and I must, again, ask myself, “why?”

My thoughts are starting to coalesce around the idea of chaos and the loss of an objective application of the law. The sex identity movement is yet another movement designed to confuse language and with the confusion of language it makes it easier for the autocrats (bullies) in this world to subjectively lash out with impunity against all who do not agree with they say. It does matter if what is being said refutes logically what the bullies are saying it only matters that you agree with what the bullies are saying and this is totalitarian in nature. With the gun laws being proposed does anyone really believe they will help stop these seemingly random acts of violence? No, it only will give more power to thugs and bullies who care not what the law says. Besides with the trust in the institutions of the country already flagging the application of law will become even more subjective and whoever has the biggest club, so to speak, will be the final arbiter of law.

In addition, reading alternative non legacy news sources, I have learned that the Saudis, Russians, Indians and Chinese have been talking about trading Saudi oil using non US Dollars as the medium of exchange. This coupled with the fact that the Europeans are still purchasing Russian oil and natural gas with Rubles using cutouts it is obvious that the days of the US Dollar being the world’s Reserve Currency are numbered. Paraphrasing what I have learned from Mr. Dalio in his book, “The Changing World Order” once a Reserve Currency becomes a fiat currency history has shown it is the beginning of the end for that currency. It has now been fifty years since the US Dollar became a truly fiat currency, thanks to a Republican President and Democrat Congress, and quite frankly it appears that the gas tank supporting the US Dollar as the worlds reserve currency is running out of Saudi oil which is what has supported the dollar thanks to Breton Woods. Couple this with the reluctance of the ruling elites in the US to “face the music”, for instance, not allowing a true free market clean out of the economy after the 2008 financial crisis, the economy has hobbled along with a deadly government backed cancer being artificially kept alive and being allowed to metastasize. It has been kept alive only to benefit corrupt government politicians, corrupt businessmen with government connections and especially a corrupt and bloated banking industry. I know with the stripping of reserve currency status for the US Dollar the US economy is in for very difficult times and historically these difficult times include civil unrest against the current ruling powers in a country. Lastly, unlike most Americans who believe or accept the drivel being peddled by the corrupt government media propagandists, I have no illusions that the Russians, Indians, Saudis and Chinese are not buying what is being sold.

The conclusion that I have come up with is that chaos is being sowed so that the Constitutional Rights of Americans can be taken away from the general citizenry. From my perspective a rapid increase in the iterative cycle of the autocratic seizing of citizens’ rights began with the passing of the Patriot Act, then the autocratic use of executive authority of emergency powers in the name of the COVID scam, and now, gun control in the name of “out of control gun violence”. What I am suspecting is this grab for autocratic dictatorial power by the globalist elites in the United States is because, like it or not, the US Dollar is losing its reserve currency status.  Therefore, there is economic hardship and quite frankly sever economic hardship looming on the horizon and the powered elites in the US beholden to the International Socialist Globalist movement know this. It seems that many events are being engineered to instill fear on the one hand so that the other hand can pass laws that erode the fundamental rights guaranteed by the US Constitution. One of the fundamental arguments for the creation of the Second Amendment was that periodically the rank and file citizenry must rise and throw out any rulers who have become too enamored with and or addicted to the power of their offices. I think the powered elites, inside and outside of government, are afraid of this potential scenario looming on the horizon. They are afraid that when the rank and file of the United States citizenry wake up as their standards of living erode much faster than they have over the past twenty years there will be great social unrest.

God bless America and God bless the world.

Random Musings on Current Events 6.17.22

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. Additionally, I know, and it has been proven, that Twitter and Facebook would censor what I have to say so I will say what I feel the need to say in this medium. However, with Elon Musk purchasing Twitter perhaps I will have to take Twitter out of my introduction but not just yet. Time will tell I and for that reason I will not remove Twitter just yet from my Random Musings On Current Events introductory paragraph.

I was remembering an incident in my childhood the other day and it was of my playing a game called Blitzkrieg with a friend at his house after school. Blitzkrieg is a board game in which odds are placed on different pieces depending upon what the piece represents (for example armored division, infantry division, etc.), dice need to be rolled to determine battle outcomes, and the objective, like the name of the game implies, is to use tanks and infantry to overtake your opponent’s territory. Needless to say, one could spend a fair amount of time just reading the instructions to learn the intricacies of ensuring the dice are rolled right to ensure the alignment of odds remained objective and as realistic as possible. Well, my friend, who did not remain my friend for too much longer, did not want me to read the instructions. We would play for a while using the rules as he explained them until I began to get the upper hand and then would “remember” or read another subtly in the rules that gave him the advantage. This went on for a little while until I had to go home for dinner or something like that. I later asked for and got the same game for Christmas and learned that he had changed several rules to his advantage and that playing the game, according to the rules, was much different and it is something that I have never forgotten. Later this same kid grew up, went to work for former Senate Leader Harry Reid in Washington D.C. and has permanently settled in the greater Washington DC area working for or as a lobbyist. It seems like the perfect place for an individual who does not want others to know the rules and who arbitrarily changes the rules to their advantage with no regard for me but in fact to ensure the rules are changed contrary to my benefit.

The S&P 500 is officially in bear market territory, the CPI is at 8.6%, crypto currencies are in the midst of a huge sell off, there has evidently been a run on banks in rural China and all I can do is yawn. So what? Gasoline is now over $6 per gallon and unlike Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and others in New York and San Francisco, I do not have public transportation available to me. I must fill my vehicle up to participate in the economy. This means less money to spend on other items and less time to listen and watch media drivel because I am having to work more and work harder to make dollars stretch just to make ends meet.

I heard someone talking about how this is the worst inflation since 1981 and I had to yawn yet again. This inflation may be much worse than 1981 because the basket of goods used to determine the CPI has changed since 1981. However, after a cursory look at the Bureau of Labor Statistics it is difficult to determine what specifically is in each basket of goods. Additionally, there is the CPI, the core CPI and the core core CPI to further cloud my research. Looking at a summary of changes page on the website it states what categories of the CPI were changed over the years but it provides no specifics. In my line of work, I want and must have specifics, but I do not have the time to dig any deeper into the CPI calculations currently. When something is this difficult to tease out, I must wonder if they are hiding something? For instance, I have heard, that in 1981 the basket of goods used to determine the widely reported CPI included food and gasoline which it does not now. I this is true I know the price of gasoline has doubled in the last year. Using real simple math, not the fancy equations that economists are so fond of that further refine numbers, there has been a 100% increase in gasoline price this past year and food has gone up at least 25% in this past year. Applying these numbers, I would have to say the inflation rate must be near 20% if food and fuel were included in the CPI.  If food and fuel were used in the basket of goods in 1981, I then must ask myself, “Why are food and fuel not used in the CPI’s basket of goods today? Why hasn’t the Federal Reserve jacked up interest rates in the same manner that Paul Volcker did in 1981?  Why are the rules not being told to me and why are they selectively being changed and why has everyone fallen for the fraudulent Keynesian Economic theory?” So, I have concluded that the currency is being debased to pay for debt and because the US Dollar is the world’s reserve currency the globalists in the US have been able to get away with it. Additionally, I think the numbers are being manipulated to make it appear not as bad as it really is for the propagandist in the press to disseminate.

It is election season and advertisements are being mailed to me and commercials are running nonstop on television when I get a minute to watch my favorite baseball team’s game. What amazes me is what is printed or said in these advertisements is nothing substantial and or substantive. I know this has been going on for a long time but, for some reason, I feel like typing about this now. It just tells me how corrupt the election process is that it does not matter what a candidate stands for but how much money they must essentially hypnotize enough people into voting for them. The latest nonsense I read in the media involves one of the Republican’s more viable threats to the Nancy Pelosi machine backed Governor of my state. This news conveniently came out on the day of my state’s primary election. The nonsense involves a story published in the Democrat controlled media propagandists that the candidate made an election related phone call or phone calls using the office phone while at work in his previously elected position. OK, this is probably not the best thing nor an ethical thing for him to have done and he should be fined or whatever but in the big picture, really? Who cares? This allegation comes midst rumors of Nancy Pelosi’s (or perhaps Harry Reid’s) Democrat machine secretly funding of a fringe Trump supporting group that mysteriously formed out of nowhere that advertised against this Republican challenger to Grandma Nancy’s man in which the candidate was portrayed as not “Make America Great” enough. This would not surprise me considering the Harry Reid machine did just the same to get himself re-elected many years ago causing a Republican Candidate to win a Senatorial Primary knowing that the candidate could never win the general election. Additionally, the current Governor signed an election reform bill allowing mail in ballots on a Sunday evening during the pandemic passed by a Legislature late on the preceding Friday night that did not meet in person. Hmm, I ask myself, what should I believe and who is calling who unethical?

A storm raked where I live this past weekend with winds in excess of fifty miles per hour. Tree limbs fell and not a word in the press. If something like this happened in the eastern United States there would be at least a day or two of headlines and an emergency declaration made with at least a hundred million dollars pledged to affected state or states. Of course, this happens all the time here and we know and accept this is something that has to be dealt with several times a year and we survive without the government’s help. Why is it that other parts of the country cannot accept and deal with their own problems without going to the federal government for help?

Speaking of which, installed President Biden visited New Mexico to address the Federal Government started wildfires that are raging across New Mexico. I drove through this part of the country mere months ago and it was gorgeous but tinder dry. What mental giants conceived of starting a controlled burn in this area knowing a storm was coming? Oh, wait a minute, they are probably related to the same mental giants in the area near where I live that had a controlled burn several years ago and decided not to post fire watches when a storm was approaching. That fire erupted into an inferno that destroyed multiple homes, threatened mine along with the whole neighborhood, but fortunately was extinguished by the rain that eventually arrived in the storm after nearly twelve hours of dry winds. Evidently the New Mexican mental giants are less mentally gifted than their relatives in my neck of the woods because they chose the spring to start their fires when the likelihood of moisture in the storm is far less than in the fall as was the case in the fire near my home. What also amazes me is there is so much weather information out there to see what sort of weather might be coming in. How can mistakes like these be made? How are people in these agency’s being vetted for positions of responsibility and authority? Evidently, it has nothing to do with competence because these types of mistakes are unacceptable and not only should the people making these bad decisions be fired but so should the people who gave these people the authority to make these sorts of decisions. It does not take a rocket scientist to read and understand a weather forecast. Although now that I made this comment the National Weather Service will have the attention of the left wing lunatics focused their way so that only politically connected can be promoted if it has not already begun. It seems the cancer of forest neglect and mismanagement has now metastasized well beyond the borders of California.

In closing I have only one thing to say, “God bless America and I mean God bless to all who are in this country; both to those who are patriots, those who are enemies and to those who fall somewhere in between.”

Random Musings on Current Events 6.10.22

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. Additionally, I know, and it has been proven that Twitter and Facebook would censor what I have to say so I will say what I feel the need to say in this medium.

Time will tell I suppose and for that reason I will not remove Twitter just yet from my Random Musings On Current Events introductory paragraph.

Why is an attempt on the life of a Supreme Court Justice not being decried from every corner of the land? Why is it that none of the liberal media outlets made this their top headline? Who really are the violent ones in our society? Congressional Democrats block bill to provide Supreme Court Justices additional security yet at the same time want to limit my ability to protect myself? Does anyone else see a pattern here? A pattern of subjective application of logic and law. A subjective application in which chaos, is being fomented and allowed to flourish.

I cannot believe that I am paying more than $5.50 (now it is $5.70 since I wrote the initial draft four days ago) per gallon for low grade gasoline and now I am also having to increase my food budget more than $200/month! This is happening while the Congressional January 6th committee hearings are happening. Hey Congress and media! Do you think I give a rip about this committee and its televised broadcast with commercials? No, I will be too busy working extra hours to make ends meet thanks to you! Besides it really is just a bone being thrown to the media by Congress to boost some ratings. Nothing substantial will come out of the Kabuki Theater show being put on because there is nothing to it. If something does come out of it it will just be further proof of how corrupt the ruling elites, Democrats and RINO Republicans, truly are.

Another item closer to home is my local newspaper/media outlet that happens to be a Gannet owned rag and an article on their website yesterday. The headline mentioned that Democrats are turning out more early voters that the GOP in the county that I live in. I read the article and there is much speculation and reasoning as to why this is the case but I will not go into detail. However, call me cynical, I cannot help but think what a bunch of bull or how meaningless all the debate can be. My state’s Legislature used COVID to pass an initial mail in ballot law and then made it permanent in the most recent Democratic majority legislature. I cannot help but wonder if we will ever see a Republican win in this state again considering that we are neighbors of the one party Peoples Republic of California and the power hungry elite that controls the Golden State. This on top of the rumors that Speaker Pelosi and her minion, Governor Gavin Newsom, have funneled large quantities of campaign money to the Democratic coffers of my state’s Governor and other Democratic candidates.

What I would have considered, at one time, my two favorite basketball teams are playing for the Nike Basketball Association’s (NBA’s) championship, and I will not watch a game. The NBA’s self-congratulatory statement of feigned pious self-appreciation explaining how the NBA has lost hundreds of millions of dollars due to being shut out of the Chinese market after the former Houston Rocket General Manager Daryl Morey’s “Fight for freedom, stand for Hong Kong” Tweet does not elicit one tear from me. Mr. Silver, you and your advertisers do not deserve my attention let along my financial support. I have been to Hong Kong and what was once a free, healthy and vibrant city is no more. There are more important things in life than a sport created by Naismith to keep his students occupied during the cold Massachusetts winters. You may want to explain that to your boss, Mr. Knight, as well explain that my Constitutional Freedoms far outweigh any entertainment product that you offer. I only wish that Mr. Morey had stood his ground and not apologized. After all, despite his groveling, he still lost his job.

President Biden said, “enough is enough” regarding gun violence in this country. I agree Mr. President, when will you support the right for all law abiding citizens to carry firearms whenever and wherever they choose? Because, as I saw in Uvalde, Texas, I cannot rely on law enforcement to protect me and my family. Mr. President, give me a break! 

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis vetoing a bill earmarking $35 million for a Tampa Bay Rays facility days after the team went on an anti-gun tirade. I think this is awesome!

The US Department of Justice announce they will not prosecute Scavino and Meadows but Navarro is arrested on the same day this is announced. I must agree that there is a witch hunt underway, and people will continue to be arrested until finally a charge sticks somehow and somewhere to someone. Talk about the rotten politicization of what should be an objective law enforcement organization. Can anyone say GESTAPO, STASI, KGB, or FSB?

I watched “Top Gun Maverick” the other day and have to say that I enjoyed it. It was a fun movie to watch, and it even elicited some emotion, like movies did in my youth. This without the overtly political garbage being pushed by Hollywood these days. Sure, there was some changes from the original such as female fighter pilots which certainly different than the US Navy that I joined shortly after the first Top Gun was released. However, this is the new reality, and it is my understanding that some of the female pilots are good. I think the Vice Admiral Beau “Cyclone” Simpson played by Jon Hamm is actually an accurate representation of most flag officers in the US Navy today. That of being risk adverse and valuing their careers more than mission. Of course, there were the stretches, for example stealing an F-14, pulling 10 g’s as a 50+ year old, and location realism, however, I really did not care. It was an entertaining movie that I did not mind paying to see in a theater. Additionally, judging by the reports, I am not alone as revenue records are being broken by the movie.

Early results are coming in for the first round of primary elections and it does look like left wing cities may have pushed too far to the left. This is most evidenced by the recall of San Francisco’s District Attorney. Maybe there is a ray of sanity left in the world and in this nation’s once vibrant and healthy cities, but I am not going to hold my breath. San Francisco keeps reelecting Nancy Pelosi, so they have a long way to go to recapture its lost brilliance.

I went to a high school graduation ceremony for a niece and a nephew and it was held in one of the local auditoriums in the city nearest me. It was full of people with no regard for social distancing or vaccination status. Albeit there were still a few people wearing masks, but they were doing so of their own volition. For my wife, daughter, and myself, however, there was a cloud over the ceremony because our youngest daughter, who graduated two years ago from high school, did not get to have this experience thanks to the COVID scam. She and countless others missed out on their graduation ceremony’s along with however many others missed out on events thanks to the mass hysteria created, generated, and foisted upon us by our so called leaders in politics, the press, and bureaucratic institutions. Let me say that I am happy for those who get to have ceremonies this year, but it is a bittersweet moment for myself, my family, and others like us whose children did not get to have this experience.

In closing this week I have only one thing to say, “God bless America and to all who are in this country both patriots and enemies equally.”

I always wonder what the topic of the week in the press will be. So many careers are being made on the never ending news cycle; a cycle that requires periodic injections of crisis to keep it rolling. In my line of work crisis is the last thing that I want or need. So much so that I work to design the possibility of crisis out of my work and so it is somewhat of anathema to my training and thought processes.

I learned this morning that there is already a vaccine being pushed first responders for Monkey Pox. What a coincidence that the vaccine just happened to be ready for distribution within days of the Monkey Pox being declared a problem.

Two days after updating this blog last, I logged onto my computer and had to boot it up three times. Twice to get my screens to work properly and yet another boot after I deleted and reloaded my virus protection software that would not work. I must wonder if there is any coincidence that just as soon as I begin to update this blog that my computer begins to get glitchy. I suppose others would say, “there can be no coincidence as the left leaning controlled big tech monopolies or government agencies would never hack into conservative leaning blog sites and their administrators’ computers.” Additionally, if I were to mention the possibility of any aforementioned possibilities, I would be branded a kooky conspiratorialist who is out of touch with reality. For that reason, I will qualify that I have no proof that this happened, and all evidence is circumstantial.

I find it fascinating and not surprising that with Mr. Musk’s purchase of Twitter, the panic of the established operatives working within and outside of Twitter, the twitter (all pun intended) and buzzing about algorithms, and how the number of followers for certain tweeters have changed that the operatives have been artificially inflating and deflating follower numbers using algorithms. Additionally, it is seeming that the algorithms have been tweaked to favor those whose political ideologies more closely matches those with the same left leaning ideologies of the Twitter operatives. This seems to coincide with the revelation that many of the members of Twitters board of directors were installed and had no investment in Twitter of their own money. I, for one, would like to know which investor(s) in Twitter installed these people on the board? Is it Blackrock or some other murky investing group who may or may not have ties to the CIA, FBI, or some other agency in government? Whoever it may be, they are the power behind these enemies of free speech and discourse in violation of Amendment I of the US Constitution. I say this because with the Section 230 protections granted Twitter and others under law they are, like the government, not a private company but fall into the public sphere and must be held accountable as a government/public entity. They do not, in my opinion, get to censor as if they were a private company.

Gun control, gun control, gun control! Yet again gun control is the topic du jour. Americans!!! Do you think the lock downs were bad in the United States due to the fraudulent fabricated fratricidal COVID mumbo jumbo hocus pocus? Just look at what the governments of Australia, New Zealand, and England were able to get away with in the name of the globalist WHO scheme. It would have been far worse for the US and, in fact, the world if Americans did not have their Second Amendment Rights. In fact, the global cabal, would have succeeded far more than they have been able to because, trust me, they know there is a wall of freedom loving individuals in the United States who will not cow tow to authoritarian dictators.

That being said, in the preceding paragraph, we as Americans should be getting prepared and getting prepared in a hurry for the next wave of authoritarian governmental maneuvers and manipulations as the people who engineered COVID are drunk with power and will continue to demand, defame, denounce, denigrate, delude and create any crisis in order to maintain and usurp more power. They do not care about me and the most certainly do not care about the majority of Americans and freedom loving people in the world. 

The Washington Post on May 30, 2022, ran a headline of a piece written by Mike Madden and Rachel Siegel saying, “US Policymakers Misjudged Inflation Threat Until it was too Late.” Huh? What did you think was going to happen when trillions of dollars were dumped into an economy that was having its production of real goods cut due to draconian government interference because of a “pandemic”? Though I am not an economist, the simple premise that more dollars chasing less goods causes inflation is not a hard one to grasp. Inflation will happen in these conditions just as sure as the sun will come up in the morning. Is there any wonder why I do not trust the media, the Federal Reserve and Washington DC insiders? I mean, duh!

Johnny Depp won his defamation case against Amber Heard? Quite frankly I really did not give one rip about this case simply because of all the media attention it was getting at the expense of real reporting on real issues. Also, it seems that whenever a media frenzy develops around something related to celebrity it is a distraction away from what is really important. Say, for instance, the failure of the sanctions against Russia as the value of the Ruble increases, there is now trade of Saudi oil in a currency other than the US Dollar, and an escalation mentality of US and European leaders against Russia instead of a de-escalation mentality against a well-developed and mature nuclear power. Despite this, I am happy that Johnny Depp stood up to Amber Heard and won. She appears to have been abusive, manipulative, and an outright liar. She used the MeToo movement to cover her evil and has been exposed. What a shock! There are evil women too? Wow, we just cannot take a woman’s word at face value any more than we can a man’s word? The sarcasm just seems to be flowing out of my fingers thinking about this topic.

Random Musings on Current Events 5.27.22

Once again it is time for some Twitter, for those with a litigious bent there is a trademark symbol just after the “r” in the previous word, like Random Musings. In particular Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet and unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants, and revelations in the media. Additionally, it has been proven that Twitter and Facebook would censor what I have to say so I will say what I feel the need to say in this medium. However, with Elon Musk purchasing Twitter perhaps I will have to take Twitter out of my introduction; time will tell I suppose. For that reason, I will not remove Twitter, just yet, from my Random Musings On Current Events introductory paragraph.

Nancy Pelosi is being denied Holy Communion by the Archbishop of San Francisco. Well, it is about time someone in a Roman Catholic Church position of leadership stood up! I applaud you Archbishop Salvatore Codileone and I hope that your soul is at peace with your decision. I will say that I do not think Nancy Pelosi will really give a rip unless it costs her votes. I believe this because I truly believe she sold her soul long ago and there is nothing left of it.

Now Whoopi Goldberg telling the Archbishop it is not his job to deny communion? Ummm Ms. Goldberg, it is more his job than it will ever be yours. Whoopi! What a waste of breath.

Food shortages, baby food shortages, gasoline prices skyrocketing and war in the Ukraine have all happened since the Democrats and RINO Republicans counterattacked and retook control of all government and continued their control of mainstream media thanks to the installation of Joe Biden as president. Monkey Pox? Yawn. It reminds me of the Boy Who Cried Wolf story. How does the government/media complex expect me to ever believe another medical crisis is real? Again, I say, “yawn”.

I laugh at the reports of drugs, cartels, immigration and etc. coming over the US’s southern border. If there was political will to stop this, it could done in short order. From my perspective there is too much money being made by corrupt politicians, law enforcement, media and who knows who else on this side of the border from this problem. This is in addition to all the same occurring south of the border. The one thing I know for certain is that it is yet another tool that has and is being used to separate this country from its roots so that it can be destroyed from within. Yet another reason to reach back into our American roots and develop our self-sufficiency and robust local networks in which we look out for each other. I believe this because we certainly cannot trust the national government and most definitely anyone associated with the international cabal.

Yet another “mass” shooting at a school by some lunatic who is no longer living to interrogate. Another mass shooting at a “soft” target. Another shooting in which the anti-gun advocates call for greater gun control when it is they themselves who created the environment that allows these types of shootings to occur. Their demonization of weapons has created gun free zones that the lunatics know they can enter and kill at will. If only one teacher in the school had a weapon how much lower would the body count be? Guns did not cause this tragedy but instead it was the media, corrupt politicians, and corrupt teachers unions who should have the light shown upon them as to why this tragedy occurred. 

Another question that I heard yesterday and it makes sense to me to ask is, “How did an 18 year employee at Wendy’s get north of $4,000 to purchase all of the equipment that he used? This when the local police force could not even afford a bullet proof shield?” Something just does not make sense here and yet again I have to bring up the perpetrator is dead so there is no way to answer these questions.

Henry Kissinger has seemingly risen from the dead. Some of my earliest memories are of him in the Gerald Ford administration and though I was too young to remember, let alone understand, what was being reported about him I have never forgotten his name. Perhaps because as a young child the sound of his name being spoken had some sort of a ring to it? Regardless, I agree with what he said but in the same instance, knowing he is a made man in the confederation of internationalists, I must wonder what his end game truly is?

My next rambling comes from President Trump’s re-Truth post from El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele in which talking about the USA he posted, “Something so big and powerful can’t be destroyed so quickly, unless the enemy comes from within.” I mused about what constitutes an enemy from within a few years ago and it seems to be coming true. The USA does have an enemy and it is operating with seeming impunity inside the USA and its corridors of power.

Finally, I have lost much faith in the nation’s leadership and lack trust in pretty much anyone who is in power and by default I cast a wary eye towards its institutions. This is a sad commentary in my opinion.

Memorial Day 2022

Each year as Memorial Day and its associated weekend comes around, I take time to pause and reflect upon my service; the service of others that I know; the service of those before me; and most importantly the ultimate sacrifice paid by many of those who served. I will, however, be the first to admit that as a child and young person I looked forward to Memorial Day as a three day weekend in which I hoped that the weather would decide to be summer instead of winter as can happen where I lived and grew up. After all, Spring is nothing more than an increasing number of summer days interspersed with a lessening number of winter days in the inter mountain west of the United States of America. I do not remember my parents or family acknowledging Memorial Day much besides flying of the US flag except for one time. This one time my parents went to one of the local cemeteries and visited the graves of my father’s grandparents and put flowers on their graves.

The Memorial Day prior to the COVID scam being unleashed on the world I went to my first Memorial Day ceremony at the Veteran’s Cemetery closest to me and found it to be a terrifying, moving and somewhat healing experience. Walking into the cemetery I found myself instinctively pacing and separating myself from my wife as if I was on patrol despite myself never actually participating in a combat patrol. I was deep in thought remembering the time I spent in Afghanistan, those who I knew and those who I did not know that perished in Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. I also thought about those who I had worked with who served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam and my late Grandfather, a WWII vet, who is buried in the same cemetery that I was entering. It must have shown on my face and or countenance because my wife forced me to hold her hand and I soon realized that I was holding her hand tightly when one of the workers at the ceremony, a Vietnam veteran, looked at me and said, “welcome home”. It was like having water thrown on me as I suddenly came into the presence of that moment, and I thanked him in turn. Interesting enough I am wiping away a tear or two as I type this paragraph.

This year will mark the first year that I plan to attend the annual Memorial Day ceremony at the Veteran’s Cemetery as COVID marred the previous two years; the fist being canceled; the second year by my refusal to wear a face diaper outside in fresh air and the natural anti-microbial light of the sun. This year, as I reflect on the death of my child I also reflect upon the needless loss, in my opinion, of the twelve marines, one sailor and numerous civilians at the Abbey Gate of the Hamid Karzai International Airport last August. Twelve families, like me, who mourn the loss of their young, loved ones. Young lives needlessly cut short by the ineptitude of senior political and military leaders who placed their careers over proper planning and execution of an organized and planned withdrawal from a combat zone and or their out and out disregard for the lives of those who served under them.

The first place that I place responsibility is with the senior political leadership of the United States of America starting with the President and Secretary of Defense. I know that they were not responsible for the actual planning and execution of the withdrawal, however, it is my belief that they set the tone for the withdrawal that made what was a difficult situation a worse situation. I believe they most likely understood this because of the warnings prior to the attack and the lack of action in holding anyone including themselves accountable for the botched withdrawal. I say this considering the Commander of the US Central Command at that time, General Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., was allowed to serve his tour out and the Commander on the ground at that time, Maj, Gen. Chris Donahue, has since picked up another star and is now the Commander of the XVIII Airborne Corps. It amazes me how a young officer or junior sailor, airman, or soldier can have a career ruined by one alcohol related offense and or failing to adhere to the politically correct agenda being foisted upon them by senior civilian and military leadership. Yet, commanding generals who lose lives in a combat zone are promoted and allowed to serve their combat tours out.

This leads me to the failure of these senior military leaders and what to me constitutes a failure to take responsibility for their failures as was done in bygone eras in which senior leaders, being honor bound to “falling on their swords”, would take responsibility for their wartime failings. Yes, I do not know what sort of, if any direction, these senior military leaders received from their senior civilian leadership, but it is my opinion that these military leaders failed not only their civilian leadership (or maybe they didn’t and were following orders) but they certainly failed those who served underneath them. I say this because I believe that most who have spent any time in Afghanistan knew or should have known how corrupt and fragile the government was and how deep the Taliban had penetrated the government and country at large. I cannot believe knowing the US was pulling out of Afghanistan that the military leadership allowed the base at Bagram to be evacuated prior to the remaining troops and diplomatic personnel being evacuated from the country. True, they may have been ordered to evacuate by senior civilian leadership, but they could have easily resigned their post rather than execute a bad order! Again, I will say these Generals would not have lost their pensions had they resigned and so really had nothing to lose financially with their prides being the only item to lose. Instead, lives were lost so that they could maintain their pride, egos, and military careers which is a complete tragedy and failure of honor at the highest level. I would expect more from those who wear the uniform regardless of service branch.

In summarizing my thoughts for this Memorial Day, it is hard for me to be angry anymore as I feel a sense of defeat. Yes, our senior civilian and military leadership are nothing but a bunch of self-serving, sociopaths who have no honor. Quite honestly, in my opinion, it is just a reflection of society and where we are as a country, and it makes me sad that we as a people have allowed and given people of this ilk positions of power and influence in our country. I will salute those this year who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and as usual I will salute those who have served and those who do serve. For the civilians who died in the bomb blast “ta didar bad”, for the Marines and Sailor who perished “Semper Fi and Fair Winds and Following Seas”, and for the United States “God Bless”.

August 2021 Reflection

I looked at this blog for the first time in nearly nine months this week and realized that it has been nine months since I have made a post. In my mind it had only been a couple of months and this realization caused me to stop in my tracks and take some moments to reflect upon why. Looking back to August 19, 2021, I realized that this was about the time I came down with the delta variant of COVID. Typing this I can remember thinking, while in the active portion of the disease, that it was time to make a post but I could not muster sufficient will forces to hold a thought for more than what seemed like mere seconds let alone for the time it takes to make an attempt at piecing together a string of paragraphs. This and the fact that as I recovered from COVID my child died and it is no wonder that I have made no posts in such a long time.

I have spoken about my COVID experience with many but I have yet to type my experiences. Let me start by saying that I was not a recipient of the experimental gene therapy treatment for COVID (aka Pfizer, Moderna or any other form of the advertised “COVID Vaccine”) nor will I going into the future.  I attended a wedding sometime around the time of my last posting and it is at this event that I most likely was exposed to the virus as I began showing symptoms within two weeks of the event. I will admit in polite company, however, that I could have picked it up in many other places as the variant was certainly active in the community and surrounding communities where I live.

At first, I did not realize that I was getting sick. In fact, I was digging trenches around my yard to install electrical conduit for a project and thought I was sore from digging. This because I developed severe muscle cramps across my back shoulder area. Not only that there were several active wildfires in the area near where I live and so I was breathing in smoke and I just figured my discomfort was a result of these. Needless to say, I was getting sick and experiencing no recognizable general immune responses in my body.

Finally, after a couple of days I developed a headache and a mild fever settled in. It was at this time that I finally realized that I was sick and it was time to settle down and let my body heal and fight this disease. During this time, I took a course of Ivermectin and thank goodness I have a doctor who believes in alternative means of treatment and does not solely rely on the FDA-CDC-WHO information that was being disseminated. Yes, I felt really bad for about five days and strangely my normal immune response to a pathogen in my body was different. I felt worse in the morning and better after eating food despite having an upset stomach. This is completely opposite of how I normally feel when fighting a disease. After the initial discomfort I began to start a slow period of recuperation but I will say a sort of brain fog and general fatigue settled in that lasted more than a month.

One may ask if I took the PCR test to confirm if I had COVID? The answer is no but what I did do is I had my blood tested for the antibodies associated with COVID and I had both types of antibodies tested. For me this not only is a confirmation that I had COVID but that I successfully defeated the disease and that my body strengthened my general immunity and specific immunities against COVID infections. A defense system far superior to any of the experimental gene therapy treatments being pushed by the government/pharmaceutical complex. Additionally, as later variants have swept through my community, I believe that I have been exposed as I have experienced similar symptoms as I experienced with the delta variant, however, the symptoms have been far less and of extremely short duration (1-2 days).

One last conclusion that I have reached regarding my experience is that there is no way this virus developed in the wild. The way it attacked my body with little to no normal symptoms initially makes me pause and consider that it was designed to bypass my normal initial general immune response. Additionally, the responses that I did have were unlike any that I have had in the past. The muscle aches were unlike any that I have had before for such a low fever. It was as if there was an attempt to trick and bypass my general immune response so that my body would not recognize what was happening. Also, I always feel worse later in the day when I am sick never the opposite. Lastly, my stomach was upset in a manner that, in the past, were I to eat I would only make it worse. Not with COVID as I needed to eat no matter what my stomach felt like and felt better afterward. In my mind, I now have no doubt that this novel coronavirus was engineered as a weapon to defeat my normal general immune responses to a pathogen.

Grief

According to the online Merriam-Webster dictionary the first definition of grief is a deep and poignant distress caused by or as if by bereavement or a cause of such suffering. I have been in the midst of a great and deep grief these past many months and I have been unable to post anything to this blog for fear of opening the wound caused by my grief too much. I have needed some time to process, deal with, and come to some sort of a semblance of terms with my grief.

This past October a child of mine died and, for now, I will not go into detail how or why my child died. I continue to seek help and move deeper into the anguish, sorrow and other emotions that this event has caused in mine and my family’s life. So much so that I am now in the midst of dealing with PTSD from this event and other events in my life that my child’s death has triggered. I will say that I am committed to turning and facing this grief head on, however, which is why I need time.

Needless to say, this blog has not been resting quietly in my mind at least and I have even begun to reaffirm my commitment to this blog. Not the least of which is it appears that the political leadership in the United States and much of Europe appears to be evil and hell bent on escalating conflict with a nuclear power instead of defusing conflict. It is funny how the specter of nuclear conflict can at least temporarily clear the dense grief induced fog from one’s being.

Soon, more to come with some changes in format, naming, and a commitment to post more consistently.

A Crisis in Confidence with National Leadership

I have a crisis of confidence in the leadership of my country to effectively lead on my behalf and the behalf of the majority of Americans. This has been further exacerbated in the last week with the apparent failure of senior leadership to effectively and orderly pull out of Afghanistan followed by their inability to assume responsibility whatsoever for their failures.

First, what has happened throughout Afghanistan in the past several weeks that has culminated with the fall of Afghanistan and the debacle at the airport falls squarely on senior political, civilian, and military leadership. As Joe Biden has pointed out the “buck stops here” and now the question is how big or epic will this “blunder” be. I have no illusions that the Joe Biden made this decision in a vacuum as his handlers, I am quite sure, made the decision. From this day forward I will refer to Joe Biden as the Joe Biden Cabal (JBC) because in his dotage I seriously doubt he has one shred of independence of mind left. It is time for some resignations, retirements, and quite honestly some criminal investigations.

Secondly, how am I to support and believe any of these leaders when they are now pulling out every conceivable card in the effort to make me a test subject in a mass gene therapy experiment? I was totally disheartened when Lloyd Austin claimed that every member of the armed services will be subject to the experimental shot by September 15, 2021. The jab has not even been approved by the FDA yet for goodness sakes. Mr. Austin that in not a lawful order and you should, if you were still in service, face a court martial if you make in mandatory. The military leadership appeared to have spent more time figuring out how to give an experimental jab to all sailors, airmen, and soldiers than ensuring the safe exit of Americans out of Afghanistan. I can only wonder what is being done to thwart any military planning against the Peoples Republic of China.

Speaking of the FDA and their corruptions. I find it interesting that they will push through testing on experimental gene therapy and its acceptance for a disease that really poses no more threat to the population than a flu yet they will not approve CBD, which is not marijuana, for use in food. I really find it interesting that now a pharmaceutical company is claiming to have a patent on CBD, which I thought one could not get if it is a naturally occurring substance, and the marketing of CBD will become illegal. Hmmm, does this smell of corruption to anyone else but me?

Of course, do not let me get started on the EPA which has essentially become a tool wielded to shake down industry and business in the country along with the various other bureaucratic government institutions. How did we get to the place where government agencies choose who can succeed and who cannot in our economy? I must wonder about the type of person who would aspire to positions of authority in these organizations. Are they power hungry mediocrities or useful idiots for those in the businesses who use the government to protect and gain favorable market conditions?

Lastly, for today, is the utter contempt I have for the media and big tech in this country mainly for not holding the leadership of the country accountable and, in fact, blatantly supporting the leadership’s information operation. It has become so obvious that the system has become or is so corrupt that honor no longer is present amongst these vipers and they will do whatever it takes to provide cover and concealment to the crooked political class, the crooked senior military class, the crooked business class, and especially themselves. I no longer consider any of you authorities in your so called areas of expertise. You may have power and can wield in the material world more so, but you do not in my mind which is the real seat of my power.

Vaccine Vagaries

So, I am being told by some in the media, bureaucratic institutions, and fascist businesses that because I am not “vaccinated” I am responsible for the increase in the delta variant of the SARS Covid-19 variant. Well, now I am confused, and I am confused for the following reasons:

I thought a vaccine was to help one develop resistance to a disease. In other words, it helps the recipient develop antibodies to increase their general immunity to that particular disease. If this is the case, then why should the “vaccinated” have anything to worry about? If anything, I should, as an unvaccinated person, be the one worried about the variants.

I learned recently that the laws were changed within the last several years to broaden the legal definition of what a vaccine is so that it no longer necessarily must meet the definition of what I thought a vaccine is meant to do as I discussed in the previous paragraph. To be honest my brain starts to hurt at the thought of this. My head is not hurting from the latest COVID variant but rather the latest pharmaceutical attorney variant. I would like to know if a vaccine is being developed to protect us from the pharmaceutical/attorney/fascist/socialist virus and its variants?

The CDC is admitting that the PCR tests cannot differentiate between coronaviruses and is pulling the PCR tests? The same PCR test that was and is being administered and with which whose results have fueled the government takeover of our economy and lives?

I also learned that these same PCR tests are calibrated using a computer code downloaded from the CDC and that there is no actual test sample to be had anywhere that is being used to calibrate this equipment. As an engineer with experience calibrating monitoring and testing equipment, I find this piece of information extremely disturbing. One of the most disturbing aspects of this is that 16 months after the lockdowns being imposed upon me, my country and the world it appears that the machines are not calibrated, and no one has questioned this? Needless to say, any of the doubts I had up to this date are not being assuaged and if fact they are actually being fueled like a wildfire in one of California’s mismanaged forests.

I recently read that America’s Front Line Doctors has filed a federal lawsuit claiming that the CDC’s VAERS reporting system is hiding the actual number of coronavirus “vaccine” deaths? What? What are they doing with the taxpayer money that is being provided to them? They purport to be in existence for public safety but if the public does not have accurate data how can the public make informed decisions? Instead, the CDC puts out recommendations for masks that provide no protection to viruses whatsoever. In fact, I just saw a picture of my state’s governor wearing a paper mask after he reinstituted mandates. Based upon my earlier post regarding masks I now know he and his staff are ignorant of facts, science, and or are just intellectually lazy. In fact, typing this I recognize that he really is not qualified to be a supervisor at McDonald’s let alone governor of my state.

How is it that the efficacy of these so called vaccines is wearing off in less than six months? Call me cynical but at what I have heard is that at a cost of approximately $12 per dose people will now need a booster? Again, what? I have received booster on previous vaccines and I will emphasize these were vaccines not experimental gene therapy shots. However, the frequency to receive these boosters was years not mere months.

If you discern a bit of sarcasm and cynicism in this post, then bully on you! I am a bit under the weather I seem to be typing slowly and maybe not flavoring this post with as much cynicism or sarcasm as this post deserves. Whether I have contracted the delta variant or not I really do not give a piece of cow dung. I am resting and staying home and out of public places which, to me, is the conscientious thing to do. I do this of my own free will and I do not need a meddling, self-serving, no load, parasitical government agency or elected official telling me what I can or cannot do.
