Turn Off Your TV! --- Part I--Beware The "Entertainment Industrial Complex" Ok, not really. I mean, that is unless you want to.  TV is passé anyway these days since the advent of mobile devices. We used to relegate our "zoning out" time to our living rooms and bedrooms after work or school, for maybe an hour or two. On weekends people actually went out. Of course that was before people began to see the outside world itself as an invasion of their privacy and accumulated an arsenal of phone apps to deploy as electronic defensive shields rivaling those of the Starship Enterprise.  People would watch a movie, a game, Johnny, Jay, Dave, a sitcom like Fresh Prince, or for us "cognoscenti," PBS.   Now we can watch anything  everywhere, at work, in school, in restaurants, even in Church, and while crossing the street against the stop light in heavy traffic. We are so "connected" now we can even share videos while driving off of highway embankments and ...

Just For Emphasis-- The Impeachment Operation Is Vladimir Putin's Play, A Terrorist Attack Being Run Through His Agent Trump: The announcement of a formal impeachment inquiry yesterday will not amount to much of anything because there is zero evidence. Finding "evidence" isn't even the point of it. (The so-called evidence is likely stored away someplace with Trump's 11,315 missing Georgia votes) Fabricating evidence, yes, finding it, not at all. It is the continuation of Vladimir Putin's asymmetric warfare strategy against the United States begun with his operations to install Trump in the Presidency in 2016. It is also part of the same continuous operation as the infamous phone call from Trump to Zelensky in 2019 to extort Ukraine in exchange for "dirt" on the Biden family, in order to steal the election. That "dirt" on the Bidens was from the beginning a Russian intelligence fabrication. Just like Hunter Biden's laptop. The House Free...

"What I See That Scares Me And Keeps Me Up At Night-- Why do the MAGAts "anti-woke" campaigns seem to be so effective?" September 13, 2023 To answer my own question, because most of us who are "woke" make the possibly tragic blunder of assuming that they actually give a shit about the issues they campaign on. They don't care about any of it. They grandstand for purposes of doing performance art for their dumbass moronic voters and donors. Everything they do is toward getting re-elected from the instant their vote totals are final and they get in. This does not mean in any way that they are less destructive in their real world operations, just that what they are doing has little to do with what they say it does, in most cases. They are playing to "their crowd," and their crowd spends as much time in Church as they do because the mental hospitals are too full to hold them. The MAGAt "Christian patriots" leadership are not simply c...

A Reply to several comments on the piece about Tucker Carlson from yesterday.  Never Underestimate The Factor Of Insanity In Politics-- What I wrote about are scenarios, simply to put something out there and let it sink in that there are people in power at the highest level who are reminiscent of the interrelated royal houses of Europe leading up to World War I, who plunged nations into bloody destruction and chaos by miscalculation, because they were morally and intellectually degenerate.  The secondary leaders allowed World War I to happen because loyalty to these rulers, defending their "systems," borders, colonies, family fortunes, resources, all came before the welfare of their people, whose lives were wasted and cities destroyed in five years of trench and mechanized warfare.  WWI was preceded by numerous smaller conflicts, and beginning in 1865 with Lincoln's murder, 33 leaders of government, including two more American Presidents, several Kings and one Czar, Queen...

Did Putin Use Tucker Carlson To Float A Planned US Doomsday Scenario, Or Was It A Different Musk-ovite?   Some Not So Random Hypotheticals, Analysis, Opinion, Broad Assertions, And Tea Leaf Reading-  Lance Rosen August 28, 2023 Introduction-- Almost lost in the avalanche of last week's coverage of Trump's surrender and mugshot in Fulton County was the spectacular and shocking interview question asked of Trump by Tucker Carlson on his podcast for podpersons and "X-humans" earlier in that week.  What was shocking besides the content of it, was that he kept coming back to it, repeatedly demanding a direct response by Trump, who tried to avoid the subject because it clearly made him uncomfortable. As reported by "Slate" (link below in comments) and other outlets, Carlson asked Trump if he was afraid that "The Left" would assassinate him, and could that start a Civil War in the US? Trump changed the subject by obsessively discussing Jeffrey Epstein, his...

Tomorrow In History- August 25, 1698-- Czar Peter The Great Commences Mass Executions And Torture Of The Leaders Of "The Streltsy," The Rogue Army Which Rebelled and Marched On Moscow To Stage A Coup--  Historical Coincidence?  Introduction-- A Reminder Of Why History Matters Yevgeny Prigozhin is 98% missing. The 2% accounted for is the parts of him they will eventually recover. We all heard the news today and likely thought the same thing about the "who" and the "why" of it. That is natural, because of the fear that it could lead to chaos in Russia, which means that the US becomes once again "ground zero" and we need to dust off all of our old instruction pamphlets for how to "duck and cover." (As if crawling under our desks in elementary school was ever going to shelter us from an H-Bomb detonation. I packed all of my junk inside my desk anyway, including my coat just in case) However it should be mentioned that Putin or someone under...

Part 2-- The Putsch  By November 1923, Hitler and his associates had concocted a plot to seize power of the Bavarian state government (and thereby launch a larger revolution against the Weimar Republic) by kidnapping Gustav von Kahr (1862-1934), the state commissioner of Bavaria, and two other conservative politicians. Hitler’s plan involved using Erich Ludendorff (1865-1937), the right-wing World War I general, as a figurehead to lead a march on Berlin to overthrow the Weimar Republic. Hitler’s proposed putsch was inspired by the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini (1883-1945), whose march on Rome in October 1922 had been successful in ousting the liberal Italian government. Hitler had initially approached von Kahr to lead the march on Berlin, but when von Kahr began to back away from the plan, Hitler moved ahead without him. Hearing that von Kahr was scheduled to address a large crowd in the Bürgerbräukeller, one of the biggest beer halls in Munich, on November 8, 1923, Hitler took...
