Leaderships all around the globe are capitulating, you can almost see the strings in the right light, to their well-moneyed overlords and appear to be deliberating indebting the people in their care to them by every absurd means at their disposal, and to grotesque degrees. Canada's national debt increased by 350 B last year, an …
money: the worst store of value
yum yum! There have been times when the value of paper currency could be counted upon to buy the same today or next year, or it could be deposited at the bank to buy even more in a year or two. However, I would suggest that if your retirement plan is being measured in paper …
i can’t… rightly… say….
I was once told of a movie wherein the character being interrogated always responded with the same phrase: "I do not know anything about what you are talking about, but even if I did I would not feel at liberty to discuss it with you." Or words to that effect. Perhaps someone would be so …
don’t you even care about granny? !
anonimity is over-rated One of the most effective missiles fired against the contrarians in the great mask debate has been that those failing to don the oxygen-preventer or adopt the other temporary measures are thinking only of themselves. If true, this is a serious charge as surely we cannot tolerate any form of selfishness in …
momentum can be a good thing!
when you realize perhaps you should have just kept going.... It's a hot day in July. Your apartment is stifling. After putting up with the heat for hours, you decide to go down the steps and out on the street for a cooling walk in a nearby shady grove of trees. You don't get too …

are “they” delusional or…?
There is a tendency, and I do not know why it is, to think of those more blessed with wealth, as being superior human beings, without considering the mechanisms employed for their ballooning collections of earth's resources, the assumption apparently being that, in order to accumulate huge stores of wealth, one must somehow be a …
of course you realise…
"of course you realize... this means war" I keep thinking about bugs these days. When I was a kid I loved Saturdays the best. I'd get up when i felt like it and pull on some faded old jeans, didn't have to got to school or slick up for church, and start the day watching …
desperate optimism
"hope is great... as long as it isn't false hope" I read waaay too many articles, but the upside is i come across a few real gems now and then. I hope you enjoy the following as much as i have, particularly the ancient quotes from a certain Andrew D White, of 1912 fame and …
my own personal great reset
Really at this point I cannot imagine anything the politicians fused with their oligarchs could possibly do to restore my faith in their noble intentions for the Untermenschen. In fact, "restore" is the wrong word entirely because that word indicates at some point I believed in them! Yet, even in my youth I understood how …
