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. 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 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.”

Random Musings on Current Events 6.3.22

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.

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.

Random Musings 8.2.21

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 from the mind of a quiet, unassuming, at least in my own opinion, person observing the ramblings, rumblings and revelations in the media. Additionally, I know, and it has been proved that Twitter and Facebook would censor what I have to say.

I would like to further comment on my previous post titled Mask Madness with a question. Is it just me or is it coincidental that the “Delta” variant is increasing at the same time the Arizona election audit is wrapping up and California’s recall election has been scheduled to occur in the next couple of months?

Vaccine madness: I sit here at my desk this Monday afternoon wondering what in the world has happened to my country? I am now supposed to believe lifelong bureaucrats drivel regarding COVID and discount leading experts in the US regarding the treatment of COVID-19 such as Peter McCullough, M.D. for example. I am supposed to assume that Twitter, Facebook, Amazon (aka Washington Post) fact checkers have a scientific background and are completely objective in their assessments of what is real and fake?

The latest madness is the article describing how children in a hospital contracted COVID, unvaccinated contracting COVID and then the patients all wishing they had the vaccine. Only, I learn later that a member of the alternative media called the purported hospital to learn that there were no deaths nor any unvaccinated people having checked in recently with COVID. This smells similar to the story authored by the former porn star debunking hydroxychloroquine and it is no wonder why my distrust of anything related to Washington DC, the East, and West Coast elites grows daily.

Moving on to another subject and that is the Olympics. Weren’t they games held in ancient Greece to foster spirited competition between the city states? Didn’t the modern games used to hold somewhat of a similar goal? As far as I am concerned the globalist NBC telecast of what purports to be games held without fans and in an atmosphere are a sham and complete globalist propaganda sham. I feel for the true athletes who seek to prove their mettle against others on the international stage. However, if asked my response now is, “what Olympics”.

Dear Republican Party of the United States of America. Your emails soliciting donations have been marked to go to my spam folder and your snail mailings go immediately into my garbage can without even a second look. This latest sham of Kabuki Theater called the Infrastructure Bill is a farce. I now know and believe that your intent is to run this country into the dustbin of history as you allow the continued debasement of the once mighty US Dollar and my country. All but a few reeks of corruption, grift, and a lack or moral backbone. In fact, I cringe at the fact that I am even giving you time in my typing this afternoon because you barely deserve even this. When you clean your ranks of RINO’s and other criminal families I may consider rehiring you as my party of choice. But until then you are fired!

Mask Madness 

Mask Madness                                                                         

Sitting here at my desk a few days after the governor of my state reinstituted mask mandates for all indoor public activities and places and finally decided to research and see if I could prove one of my hypothesis. The hypothesis being that besides a N95 mask all other masks do not have tight enough weave or properties to stop a virus. Following are the results of an hour or so of rooting around the internet and looking at the specification sheets for paper masks and N95 masks currently in my possession. I will add that the only information I could find on cloth are results from Wake Forest Baptist Health from earlier this year.

What I found is the National Institute for Health has published that the size of the COVID-19 virus is about 1 micron. For those of you who do not know what a micron is think of it as 1/1,000th of a millimeter. If the thickness of a dime is 1 millimeter then the size of a coronavirus is 1/1000th of the thickness of a dime. Pretty dang small in other words.

As expected the N95 mask is able to filter particles greater than 0.3 times the size of a coronavirus 98% of the time. This is definitely a suitable mask to wear, however, the cost is nearly ten times that of a typical paper face mask one can purchase and who knows how much more costly than a bandana or other homemade face mask?

Moving onto the” paper face mask its labeling shows nothing concerning the size of particle that it will filter. However, there is a box on the carton that clearly states in all capital letters, “Not for medical use. Intended for single use only – discard after use. This general use mask cannot eliminate the risk of contracting and infectious disease”. I want to point out that this is the mask I see being worn by the far majority of people out in public. I also want to note that I know several who wear their masks more than once to include me.

Lastly, according to the Wake Forrest study, “The best homemade masks achieved 79% filtration as compared to (paper) surgical masks (62% to 65%) and N95 masks (97%). But other homemade masks tested performed significantly worse, sometimes demonstrating as little as 1% filtration…The best-performing design was made of two layers of high-quality, heavyweight quilters cotton with a thread count of 180 or more, and those with an especially tight weave ad thicker thread such as batiks. A double-layer mask with a simple cotton outer layer and an inner layer of flannel also performed well”.

What does my limited research tell me one may ask? It tells me that if I truly want to protect myself I need to spend nearly ten times as much money for a mask that will protect me. It also tells me that the mask mandates are arbitrary and really do not help the public. If it was to help the public the government and quasi government agencies (i.e. CDC and NIH) would make these facts easily accessible to the general public. Based on my previous conclusions it further tells me that politicians and bureaucrats in the health industry and government writ large are essentially intellectually lazy and or really are just trying to appear to do something or have another agenda or who knows what else that I have not thought of.

I say intellectually lazy because if I were to impose an imposition on a state or county I think that I would want to explain the facts to those I purportedly seek to protect. Not providing this information or worse not even thinking to look this information up before making a decision independent of the CDC or NIH or whatever agency shows a lack of discernment, healthy skepticism and or a basic lack of science and math. Of course the more nefarious explanation of this could be that there is a hidden agenda behind the gross overreach of executive power but I will not go into that in this writing. What I will say is that at a minimum we have elected officials who (including their staffs) who appear to have very little if any comprehension of basic math and science. Additionally, we have given career bureaucrats with dubious agendas the power to tell us what to wear and not to wear.

Lastly, this tells me that I really have nothing to gain wearing a mask other than making others feel better for a threat that really is no worse than an influenza. Additionally, I am not going to spend my money on a N95 mask for a virus that is no more virulent than influenza at worst and the common cold at best. Additionally, my next course of action will be to ask anyone who confronts me with not wearing a mask to state the science they are basing their decision to wear a mask on. I will not accept because this is what the CDC or NIH has said as an answer.
