Random Musings on Current Events 11.4.2023

Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in the media from behind the front lines of a purple state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere in between. Additionally, forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.

Israel Palestine Thoughts 10/21/2023

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

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

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

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

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

Random Musings on Current Events 7-28-2023

Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in the media from behind the lines in an increasingly blue state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format.

I am reading the California governor wants to spend $4.5 million for undocumented aliens in the tarnished state. This is ostensibly to aid the workers in labor investigations. In all actuality it is for the attorneys that represent them and knowing the corruption and cost of attorneys this money will not last long. Better to spend the money repaving a section of pot holed road in the Sierra Nevada’s or elsewhere destroyed by this last winter’s storms. Will that happen? No, Gavin Newsom has a campaign to finance after all.

ESPN is asking for the sports leagues to invest in the company that is failing. Maybe ESPN, you should report on sports and not politics and you might see your ratings rise. Not only that but eliminate some of the commercial breaks and get rid of the self-aggrandizing, racist Stephen Smith. He is nothing but poison and is one of the reasons I no longer watch your network.

Hmm, New York state has a $36 billion shortfall due to “taxpayers fleeing”. Geez, I wonder why they are fleeing.

I read a report in which Utah Representative Jason Chaffetz called on House Speaker McCarthy and Senator McConnell to press for action on the Biden family’s business dealings. Congressman Chaffetz I do not believe either one of them will push the matter because Senator McConnell and his family are just a guilty and do not want to shine light on the practices of the uni-party. I am not sure about Speaker McCarthy but his actions or lack thereof certainly indicate that he is hamstrung for some reason.

Europe seems to be on fire this week and summer as Rhodes is being evacuated and Palermo’s airport on Sicily has been closed. My cynicism is on high alert as mysterious fires have developed, like those is Canada and the US West in previous years and this year.

Yellow Freight purportedly maybe filing for bankruptcy next week. Hmm, interesting I wonder what is behind their business failure?

I think Senators Durbin and Whitehouse should be brought up for impeachment or expulsion from the Senate under High Crimes and Misdemeanors. What gives them the right to target private citizens and conservative Supreme Court Justices’ communications? This smacks of a willful infringement of Constitutional Rights.

I am watching the fallout of Britain’s Nigel Farage’s debanking as the second CEO of a bank that he was debanked from has been fired-cum-resigned. What I find interesting, as well, is that the UK Government is the majority shareholder of NatWest one of the banks that delisted Nigel Farage.

The Hunter Biden saga continues and the courts are now revealing what the alternate media has said all along. Information that has been and is still suppressed by the old media and the big tech platforms going back to the last Presidential election. What I must wonder is why now?

Fox is forcing Jason Aldean to remove BLM riot footage from his video. Yet more proof, in a long list, of why I no longer trust or watch Fox News going back to 2020.

Speaking of Senators, Sen. Tuberville is pushing the Senate to seriously review the promotion of each General and Flag officer above the rank of O-7. This means he is tasking the Senate to review the second star and above for each officer selected by the DOD which is one of the jobs of the Senate. A serious review instead of rubber stamping the nominations. After the debacle of Afghanistan, the forced COVID bio warfare injections on our service members, and the military’s focus on transgenderism etc. I think it is high time more attention be paid to these promotions. The flag and general officer corps has failed this nation and the service members who serve under them and they need to be held accountable.

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

I am reading about the ruling by US District Court Judge Karin Immergut regarding Oregon’s new gun control law. In her opinion she mentions that large capacity magazines “are not commonly used for self-defense, are therefore not protected by the Second Amendment.” Well, it is obvious that Justice Immergut has never been in a fire fight defending herself against a well-armed attacker intent on killing her. In that type of moment 10 rounds is not going to help one defend themselves for very long.

Well, my goodness gracious now the Screen Actors Guild has gone on strike to coincide with the Writer’s Guild of America being on strike. So, nothing new will be coming out of Hollywood for a while after the productions currently finished and in the pipeline for release are finished. Wait a minute, has anything really new or refreshing come out of Hollywood in a while? Come to think of it, no.

Evidently, according to a French poll, three quarters of France would approve stripping citizenship from dual nationals who participated in the recent riots in France. Um, I would think that more stripping them of citizenship would be required such as deporting them. I am sure the once citizens of Constantinople would agree with my statement were they still alive.

Does anyone really believe that John Kerry’s trip to China had anything to do with the climate and COP28? Give me a break it is all a cover for whatever the real reason behind his trip aboard his private jet. Does the word hypocrite resonate with anyone else?

Mike Pence’s campaign keeps trying to solicit money from me. Yeah right, like I am going to support a neocon. I will give him a bit a slack in that he does have some offspring serving or having served in the military.

A cross has been burnt at a church in England, East London specifically, and this church has also been threatened with being completely burned down. Shades of Notre Dame and other Christian churches being burnt down across Europe. Does anyone believe that Mayor Sadiq Kahn will do anything about it? London has probably already fallen to the non-Christians.

I have read about the US Woman’s soccer team not paying proper respect to the US National Anthem. Shame on them and I will not pay a whiff more attention to their games.

Does anyone else get a little anxious going into July? Perhaps, it is a bit of my Irish ancestry, on both sides of The Troubles and the Orange-men July marches, getting restless. Especially, as this historically has been the marching season. The days are long, the air heavy, and everyone is waiting for the summer harvest.

I had occasion to learn of a couple who hail from the San Francisco Bay Area (Sonoma for those who are familiar) who are originally from New York City. It seems they checked into one of those Airbnb or VRBO places nearby me which is in a semi-rural location. The hosts put it in their welcoming letter that the place is semi-rural and that there may be dirt, bugs and mice on occasion but to let the hosts know as there are mouse traps set etc. Well, it seems this couple saw a spider and a beetle no longer than ½’ long crawled out of the sink in this short term rental.

The couple complained and wanted a refund as they vacated the place within hours leaving the owner out at least two nights of rental. I cannot believe how spoiled big city Americans are and they claim to be the smart ones. The ones who know what is best for me and others who do not live in the coastal big cities. The same people who cannot deal with a spider and small beetle.

So, Mark Suckerberg, whoops I mean Zuckerberg, has started Threads, purportedly to compete against Elon Musk’s Twitter. Whoa, let me sign up for yet another platform started by a socially retarded geek who is most likely just a front for a government spy agency. Meta is claiming tens of millions of new subscribers on day one of the platforms launch. Geez, I wonder how many Meta users were either automatically enrolled by bots or how many of the tens of millions are just bots? Trust me I would not want to advertise with them.

Cluster bombs to Ukraine? Throw the neocons out or better yet; let the neocons themselves, their children, and their grandchildren go to the front. Perhaps a new law, constitutional amendment or something else totally beyond the scope of reality shout be created. This would require any law maker or holder of high office to be required to serve at the front. If they are too old then some of their offspring should be required to serve at the front. If they have no offspring then they should not be allowed to debate, vote, or be part of any decision that sends other’s or their offspring to war.

Yet again more child sex abuse by those in places of influence or high office. This time at the BBC. These pedophiles should be held accountable for their crimes and the most importantly those who create, allow or turn a blind eye to these types of folks need to be held accountable as well.

Wow! It seems Elton John has finished up the last gig of his last tour. I wonder how long it will be before he returns for another last gig of his last tour. I know I know a bit of cynicism on display.

It is relieving to see that a federal court issued an injunction that prevents the federal government from colluding with social media. Hopefully, this preliminary injunction will become a permanent injunction and eventually law. What happened in the last presidential election and during the COVID hysteria must never be allowed to happen again in a “fee” society. Thank you, Senator Schmitt from Missouri.

I see President Trump paid a visit to the UFC event in Las Vegas this last weekend. I loved listening to Kid Rock in the background as he made his entrance. Just watching the Twitter feeds showing his entrance made me smile.

Hey President Biden! Perhaps you should meet with Benjamin Netanyahu, after all, I would trust the Israelis any day over anyone else over there in that part of the world. Or did they not pay enough bribe money to Hunter or whoever else is running the family enterprise? Or maybe it is they do not agree with the followers of Islam and supporters of the Iranian Mullahs that are pulling your strings?

Oh, my goodness a teacher was stabbed by a student in Britain, a county with some of the strictest gun controls in the world!!! Wtf happened, you mean violence still happens. Imagine that. As I get older and not as nimble as I once was in my youth it gives me comfort to know that I can still carry a firearm to protect myself against those who are younger and more agile than me.

Another report shows three children were among the six killed in stabbings at a kindergarten in China. China, one of the most repressed countries in the world. If just one adult in the school had a firearm how many of the dead would be dead now?

Juneteenth!? OK, I get there is good reason to celebrate and honor the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation as slavery wrong in so many ways. It is a stain on American history that we should never forget or try to sweep under the rug, so to speak. It is when we try to pretend that something does not exist or has never happened that the ugly part of humanity can rear its ugly head again. It seems that it already is in the guise of human trafficking, the sex trade, and child labor being imported through our southern border with near impunity. Is it good to honor the freeing of the African slaves in the United States? Sure, but do we need another holiday for the government working class to honor this day?

I am waking up after more than a month and a half of working on a project and the subsequent catching up required on my other projects. Needless to say, the sun is just about at its most northern arc across the sky and the days are the longest they will be for the year as a result.

One thing that I have noticed is the weather is cooler this year and the light does seem dimmer. I have lived in the area where I am for most of my life and it just seems a little odd that the sky seems to always have a dusty or light smokey quality. Perhaps it is because I am downwind from the cesspool known as California?

President Trump has been indicted on what appear to be erroneous Federal charges that one of the Clinton was cleared of at the Supreme Court level. This at the same time news is starting to leak that Joe Biden took a $10 million bribe. Geez, do you think this is coincidental? Spin spin spin, if one were to pay attention too closely to the news cycle they could feel as if they were in a laundry machine set for high spin.

It finally has come to my town. A drag queen story hour has been held at one of my local libraries and one is scheduled to be held at two of the other libraries in the greater community. Why is this happening? What is the agenda of these people?

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

Monday morning and Tucker Carlson and Bob Lemon have both lost their jobs with their respective networks. Is this a coordinated action between two supposedly independent media organizations? It sure seems suspicious considering they are about as far apart from center as are their former employees, supposedly. Call me cynical but I must wonder if there is another power behind the curtain pulling the levers?

Speaking of FOX and Tucker Carlson no longer being with the network I see reports of Fox’s stock dropping sharply and many people unsubscribing from FOX Nation. Is this yet another example of leftist politics driving business decisions, for instance Anheuser Busch’s Bud Light? I just learned that Arnon Mishkin had been rehired by FOX News to cover the 2022 and 2024 elections. I will never forget the moment when Chris Stirewalt insisted that Arizona was going against Trump when Florida had still not been called in the 2020 Presidential Election evidently, it seems, at the direction of Mr. Mishkin.

Mr. Murdoch, I suspected all along that you were very uneasy with populism and especially original American values. I understand this considering that you were raised and become wealthy in a country still under the overt rule of Britain’s Crown. I have always suspected that Tucker Carlson made you and your fellow internationalists in and out of your company quite uneasy but I respected that you supported your stockholders and their investments. I know, however, know that you will sell yourself for political reasons and that Mr. Carlson’s show was the last program on Fox News that I watched. I only thank God that I am not a stockholder in your company because you do not have their best interests at heart. You have lost half of the United States with either your decision to let Mr. Carlson go or creating an environment that he had no choice but to leave Fox News.

The ideological war in the United States is truly escalating when large corporations no longer hold the best interest of their stockholders as a priority over ingratiating themselves with ideologues. The US broadcast media is now being guided by one overarching ideology and it is that of war with Russia and war with China while one of their biggest advertising revenue streams is Big Pharma.

The US is evacuating all embassy staff from Sudan and at the same time providing no readily visible alternative or communications to other US citizens living in Sudan. It seems eerily familiar and reminiscent of the pullout from Afghanistan. Is there any competent people at the helm in the State Department?

Susan Rice has announced her resignation from the Biden Administration. Of course, the spin is she only agreed to two years and is going to spend more time with her family. From what I understand Susan Rice is one of the vicious power hungry leftists in the Obama, pardon me, Biden Administration. I wonder what really is happening and where she is headed? I suppose time will tell.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has declared his candidacy for President of the United States and I say good on him. I probably disagree with his more left leaning politics and that is ok. I say it is ok because Mr. Kennedy at least stands for something, is intelligent, and is not afraid to speak his truth. Not only that I must believe he believes in the United States of America. All the previous comments runs counter to anything espoused by the current group of viscous psychopaths pulling the levers of power in the Democrat Party. I wish Mr. Kennedy well and I welcome the breath of fresh air that he represents.

Between Mr. Kennedy and President Trump, the CIA, FBI, DOD, DOJ, FDA, EPA, career politicians, crony capitalists and all the other deep staters must be wringing the hands and furrowing their brows. Two independent thinking insiders are in the race and one from each major political party. This is going to be interesting. In fact, I may just have to brew myself up some beer, keg it, and put it on tap to take cold drafts before reading the news surrounding these two. I am sure the media will be lapping up, like the good obedient dogs that they are, all the wranglings, teeth gnashing, and intrigue this will bring out. Of course, I know it will not be the least bit unbiased which will make it quite entertaining. I am quite confident that I will certainly be hoisting more than one or two frosty mugs after my long days of work over the next year and a half.

Wow, it seems California is going to allow all water users in the state their full allotments of water this year for the first time in a while. I guess it is good to have a wet year.

Chicago has elected a new mayor who is openly Communist in all ways, which means he is an open crook and thug or represents crooks and thugs who has no respect for the rule of law. Chicago, under Democrats, has always been a barbarous city and I can only imagine what will happen with an outright Communist in the mayor’s office. The inhumanity in the city will only grow I would imagine.

I believe today is the end of Ramadan for those of the Islamic Faith. I often wonder why violence perpetrated by the Mohammedians often increased during Ramadan. Is it because they cannot eat during the daylight hours? I know I would get cranky after not eating all day. Or is there I deeper meaning, which I suspect, is more likely. Perhaps, I should research this.

I am sickened to see the Tennessee slaughter in a Christian High School allegedly perpetrated by a young woman undergoing a transgender change and hopped up on who knows what pharmaceutical drugs to facilitate the change. I, for one, know a woman who “transitioned” and struggled with the sudden change in elevated testosterone having never experienced adolescence and the anger associated with it. Usually, however, society has its ways of directing and channeling young pubescent males to learn how to control these violent urges via sports and other activities. Yet another example of the crimes against humanity being perpetrated by the pharmaceutical industry on a daily basis. Now anti-gun transactivists are storming the Tennessee State Capitol after a trans person committed a gun crime. Wait, what, huh? My prayers go out to the victims and their families.

President Trump has been indicted on who knows what charges by a blatantly political hack of a District Attorney in New York City and I am supposed to get riled up by this? Says who? The media who benefit from the ratings spike that this will provide? The CIA, FBI, DHS, and whatever other three letter agency that would love nothing more than to see me protest so they can get more unconstitutional laws through Congress that infringe upon my God given rights? Is what is being done to Donald Trump right? Absolutely not. But what should we expect from the Progressive, Communist, Marxist, Trotskyites who want nothing more than to destroy all that is good and life affirming and that reminds them how demented and worthless that they are. God bless those who seek to destroy life and the greatness of this country.

On top of this Nancy Pelosi has tweeted, “…No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to trial to prove innocence…” regarding President Trump. If this statement does not stop one dead in their tracks, then they should not be allowed to call themselves citizens of the United States of America nor be allowed to vote. Representative Pelosi what happened to a person being innocent until being proved guilty. The burden of proving guilt is on the accuser not the accused. You, Mrs. Pelosi are a true enemy of the state if you believe this statement. A statement most likely Tweeted by one of your ignorant or malicious staffers twits.

The bird flu is coming, the bird flu is coming or rather the sky falling, the sky falling, the sky is falling or perhaps the little boys (and girls) are crying that the wolf is coming? What a bunch of bulls…, pardon me, who knows what this is a bunch of? Whatever it is I can say that it stinks. Just like clockwork when the weather begins to change and we men and women begin to emerge from our winters and start to think about outdoor activities in which we work and attend large events together to celebrate the life giving power of the sun here in the northern hemisphere the peddlers of fear and death seem to be concocting and implementing their weapons. Oh yes, and by the way, there is a Marburg Virus outbreak evidently in Africa now too.

We have the Trump indictment, the Tennessee shooting and bird flu catching most of our attention while a report came out that there are far more banks in serious trouble than originally reported. Far more banks in trouble thanks to the efforts of the Federal Reserve and the “Too Big to Fail Banks” that make up the Federal Reserve it seems to an outside colluding to consolidate their power and push small regional banks out of business. It is like the scene in “It’s a Wonderful Life” when Mr. Potter capitalizes on the fear and tries to buy out the Bailey’s Savings and Loan’s assets and accounts for pennies on the dollar.

In my lifetime I have seen the media consolidate into a few sources, the federal government’s power over my daily life increase by magnitudes of order and now the banking industry is consolidating. Geez, considering how much my standard of living and freedom have decreased over the recent decades I can only imagine how helpful the mega banks will be.

For some reason I have “Ramblin’ Man” performed by the Allman Brothers looping through my head today. In particular it is the chorus of the song that is on a loop and the lyrics go, “Lord, I was born a ramblin’ man, trying to make a livin’ and doin’ the best I can, And when it’s time for leavin’, I hope you’ll understand That I was born a ramblin’ man”. It is times like this that I must wonder what my subconscious is trying to tell me about all the nonsense going on in the world.

It seems the Chinese Communist Party or a hobbyist has launched another balloon, however, this time it was shot down near the Aleutian Islands just as soon as it entered United States airspace and now yet another balloon has been shot down over Lake Huron. I have to ask why is the Air Force wasting missiles shooting these down? Why can’t they use canons to shoot these down? Am I missing something? Wouldn’t shooting down the balloons with canons be a great training opportunity and cost much less?

I watched the Super Bowl but did not watch the half time show but instead chose to play cards with family. Evidently, I did not miss much after reading the reports of the show and it did not surprise me considering the state of entertainment in the nation.

I have to ask why there is a Black National Anthem (This will be the last time I capitalize this item to avoid the appearance of legitimizing it.) and why it was allowed to be played at the Super Bowl? For me it is nothing but divisive to allow it to be played. Has there and is there discrimination based on race? Yes, there is no disputing this fact but now we are allowing a parallel anthem to be played alongside our national anthem? Think about the impact this has on the country. Yet again I must wonder why I am watching and supporting the NFL? This playing of the black national anthem has nothing to do with uniting the country and everything to do with dividing the country. In fact, I have to wonder if the Chinese are behind and supporting the groups or whatnot that insisted the black national anthem be played at the beginning of the game. After all, Lebron James was in attendance and somehow crowned himself king of something and everyone knows he is a shill for the CCP along with the NBA. Also, let us not forget that the Han Chinese are a very racist ethnic group as is I would imagine LeBron James is as well.

I am getting caught up on the train car derailment, spill, and burning of the toxic vinyl chloride in East Palestine, Ohio news and have more questions than answers at this time. Least of which is why was over a 100,000 pounds of a substance that when burned releases phosgene gas, hydrogen chloride, and other toxic substances allowed to happen and, in fact, dictated to happen? Yet again the public relations around this incident are eerily similar to the public relations surrounding the Three Mile Island nuclear incident that occurred over a generation ago in Pennsylvania. We have a dangerous substance that control over was lost (leak), the owners who lost control telling us everything is OK, and the state and federal government trying to catch up and repeat the talking points of the owner(s). All the while independent reports of residence reporting dead wildlife, the Ohio National Guard arresting independent journalists, and other incidents that point to a cover up and or repression of facts are ongoing. I will say again and will say again and again it does not matter what anyone in leadership does, necessarily, appearances can mean everything which is why our leaders should hold themselves up beyond reproach. Will they? I doubt it in today’s environment.

One fact that I do know is that rail transport falls under the purview and regulation of the United States Department of Transportation and that perhaps the Secretary of Transportation should spend a little more time learning about transportation in the country rather than speaking empty platitudes about race, sexual proclivities and “equity”. This is just yet another incident in a growing list of incidents that shows Mr. Buttigieg is nothing more than an empty suit who was hired because of the political party that he belongs to and because of his homosexuality because it certainly had nothing to do with his experience or competence or his willingness to learn what his job really entails. Not only that it appears he is a chicken sh*t along with the Governor of Ohio, and Norfolk Southern executives who refused to attend the East Palestine, OH townhall.

Moving along as the week progressed there have been a few more “toxic incidents”, for lack of a better descriptor. A tanker truck with acid rolling over in Tucson, Arizona, a large amount of plastic planters burning near Orlando, Florida, and another train derailing near Detroit, Michigan for instance that I am aware of. A few years ago I began to see the pattern of organization behind the near simultaneous and scripted release of news by the main stream media, then the “spontaneous” race riots, and now I am getting a niggling sense that these “chemical release accidents” seem to be happening in a coordinated manner. A few years ago I would have dismissed this unsubstantiated intuitive feeling as nonsense. However, this intuitive feeling was proven right as evidence the FBI and DOJ have been colluding with main stream media and big tech, the obvious preplanning and staging for the “spontaneous” ANITFA riots in the Summer of Love along their attempts this past month in response to the Memphis police atrocity. So, therefore, why would it be a stretch to imagine these toxic incidents happening within a short time of each other are not a coordinated attack of sorts.

Of course, let me back up, I must remember, that the ruling globalist elites that currently run our government would never do anything to harm our citizenry. After all, they were not responsible for the release of a man made genetically altered Covi-SARs virus, the subsequent economy crushing lockdowns, and the pushing of an untested new technology to be injected into billions of people. Nah, they are completely benevolent and spend all of the money that we are forced to send them in the guise of taxes at the point of a gun in a benevolent manner.

In conclusion, this week I am grappling with a fundamental problem that we face in the United States. Currently, it seems as if I am yelling into an echo chamber much as many of the people who agree with me on various podcasts, blogs, Substacks etc. seem to be doing. While those who believe the tripe being peddled by the mainstream media etc. are yelling into their own echo chambers. Of course, I would like to think that I bring reason, cause and effect, and logic to my conclusions after shaking free of the hypnotic effect of the “mainstream”. Therefore, a fundamental problem, as I see it, is how does one break the hypnotic power of big tech and the mainstream media? Perhaps I need to look inside to determine how I was able to break free and somehow share this process? I know there are many other ways and fortunately many are working this problem. It just seems to me there are more ways that just have not been revealed to me yet? I will continue to pray, discuss, and meditate on this problem in the coming days, weeks, months, and years if need be.

God bless America, all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere in between. Additionally, forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.
