From the Land Down Under

Apparently 1/10 people are like me and born in the Southern Hemisphere. Interesting, huh? 30 years ago I heard that 9/10 people live and die within 100 miles of where they were born. In that sense, then, I'm 1/10 in many ways. 
Finished this book last week. Notes from a Foreign Country . It has some interesting value. You get to see how a provincial American lives overseas and expands their view of the world. That is certainly worthwhile. There's even a section on Afghanistan. But like many she doesn't seem to fully grasp the level of robbery the place is all about. She sees it in other places, so, again, it's worth reading for that. 
Meanwhile, the anti-vaxx crazies keep coming on. And just so you know, I have feeling that the same animal spirits and powers that be feeding this dumb (the grifters from top to bottom) are the same killing environmental activists. The killings here are probably carried out by people I trained with or was trained by or people they trained. How can I say such things? Look at what the DOD and our "homeland security" labels as terrorism. Anyone even thinking about disrupting energy supply lines, aka the destruction of the planet.  Make no mistake, these are hit squads, shooting people dead in their living room for trying to save the planet from our filthy rich elites. Definitely the extraction industry types. [1] 
Well, one wonders if there will be enough outrage for change. We have all the signs of lowered trust in the powers that be, except it's the wrong kind (anti-vaxx or even, CC is a hoax) and it's probably not goin got work out like we think. Or will it change? Thinking about the cyclone that hit Bangladesh. How it killed so many, leading to mistrust and anger at the government (who were the cause of that and showed complete callousness to the victims, since they were darker, btw) and, after a genocide, revolution. Not that we get the same, but the lack of care from the elites will cause a reaction. Will it be at the right people or the wrong ones (blame immigrants, for example)? Hard to predict. 

[1] Note how me and a friend of mine never cared for Thunberg. After all, why was she, and not these other dark activists who put their lives on the line, getting such media fanfare? Well, she's white, so that helps, I'm sure, but at least she has pointed this story out on her twitter. This story she shared, shows how bad Africa has it. In fact, I'm of the mind that Africa was the first continent to suffer from CC.
