Really Simple Questions for Climate Changers

Dear Climate Crisis Guy,

The climate in the northern hemisphere was much colder in the late 1700s than in the 20th century, with large American rivers like the Delaware routinely freezing over during the winter. If you lived back then, would you demand that the climate be “protected” at its then-current state?

With reference to the above, how do you determine the optimal “global” temperature?

Greenland during the period of roughly 1100-1700 was warmer than it has been since, and it supported Eur...

Can Truth Survive?

An International Conference: Where is the World Headed?, Argentina, February 23-24, 2024

On February 23, I addressed an important international conference, or congress as it was called, organized by Norma Pimienta in Argentina. The conference addressed international concerns about the failure of Western leadership to put the world on a peaceful path.  Also addressed was the problem of the privatization of government throughout the world.  Even in the democracies the elites who control government...

‘When Will They Learn?’

Dependency upon government is a disease. Once it has been caught, it becomes chronic and does not reverse itself in a population until the system collapses under its own weight.

For many years, frustrated colleagues of mine who are either conservative or libertarian have posed the rhetorical question, “When will those liberals learn?” Surely, at some point (they reason), liberals will recognise that bailouts, entitlements, and a “planned” society simply do not work. It’s not even a question of w...

If AI Is So Great, Why Is Managing the Digital Realm Eating Us Alive?

The financial analysts gloating over the prospect of higher corporate profits resulting from firing workers overlook the collapse of customer satisfaction, productivity and leisure.

If AI is so great, why are we all wasting so much precious, irreplaceable time deleting spam, unsubscribing from junk email and dealing with multiplying layers of digital incompetence? This is called shadow work: work we perform that isn’t paid or even counted as “work,” though it eats up our time and energy, leaving...

Why They Are Creating $1 Trillion of Debt Every 100 Days

“There has been abundant evidence of great evil at work in the world, throughout time and in our present time. Do you really wish to be ignorant of its existence and operation?” – The Great Taking – Daniel Webb

From 2000 through 2007, while waging two wars in the Middle East, the U.S. ANNUAL Federal deficit averaged $220 billion PER YEAR. And many fiscal conservatives thought that was outrageously out of control. Well, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden, the despicable scum in Congress, and the rest of t...

‘Credibility’ Gap

I know one good writer for the American Greatness publication – Julie Kelly who writes on the injustice of the January 6th persecutions – but even though I get their regular updates in my email box I never open them up. It seems like more or less just another of the “conservative” outlets that churn out highly political and politicized fodder – with plenty of “outrage stories” –  not very well thought-out on pages heavily laden with annoying ads.

Again, I could be wrong.

But one recent headline ...

Luftwaffe Brass Hold Unsecure Online Webex Meeting About Using Taurus Missiles To Blow up the Kerch Bridge

You might’ve heard about Webex, a company that provides eponymous videoconferencing software. They pledge to “bring together your global workforce and customers anywhere, on any device, in any environment” and to furnish “an engaging meeting experience, no matter … location, language or communication style.” Basically, Webex is a less popular Zoom. A lot of people use Webex, including universities, major corporations, and apparently also the German Luftwaffe, when their Brigadier General is off ...

Rothschild a History of Colonization -Who Is Running the Show

The Partitioning Agreements of the Ottoman Empire began 2-3 years BEFORE it fell.  France and Britain were at the forefront of the Land Grabs.   Initially, the Russian Empire was involved in the partitioning agreements and allocations were to be:  western Armenia, Constantinople, and the Turkish Straits (which had already been promised under the 1915 Constantinople Agreement).  Britain was supposed to get Iran, and France was to get Syria, Palestine, and Cilicia.  The Bolsheviks severed the Russ...

Covid Hospital Temples of Sacrifice – Twenty Sociological Realities

AND THE DOG LOVER WHO CAUGHT COVID

The Great Aztec Pyramid at Cholula, Mexico…was not designed for aesthetic purposes as art….but as a means of sacrifice to the gods (by lining up mega thousands of mainly peasant people for sacrifice) in a unity of theory and practice…theories are generally the products of professional theorists – that is the kind of people we call intellectuals today. And today? In Mexico, at any rate, the sacrifices are less bloody and less visible, but it is (always) the inte...

Some Thoughts on US Culpability in Gaza

Western leaders stand by while the US has provided the bombs needed to destroy most of Gaza, concentrate two million of the population against an Egyptian wall, and kill over 30,000 people, the majority of which have been women and children.  Last week’s US airdrops of 38,000 “meals” for 2 million starving people – starving because of our policy – is a bad joke.

Western leaders stand by as Israel conducts a straightforward expansion to what they tell themselves is unoccupied land, land they say ...
