4th of July
Today we celebrate the US Declaration of Independence. The US has been an experiment in liberal democracy. In many respects, the experiment has been successful as the average person today living in the US has more rights than enjoyed by most people throughout recorded history. Those rights, however, are at risk, especially the rights of free speech and due process. Without those basic rights, which are inscribed in the US Bill of Rights, we have no democracy and liberalism lapses into fascism, the dark "alter" of democracy. So, today I celebrate foundational rights and urge all Ame... more »

Happy 4th of July!
I am not typically somebody who gets all caught up in over the top patriotism on days like this. But this year is different from times past. This year I really feel that my country is under siege and that it is the duty of every citizen to stand up against the tyranny which is spreading like a cancer throughout the land. We are under attack. Perhaps not physically, though I fear that will come, but intellectually, emotionally, and, dare I say, spiritually.

Independence and the Quality of Propaganda
As we celebrate and commemorate American Independence, it's important to reflect on the proper role of government. I heard what was supposed to be an inspirational tribute to America last Saturday (July 1 - but many were celebrating Independence Day early). It discussed freedom of speech, freedom of the press and then included things that were never included in any founding document such as freedom from want and the right to dignity. Freedom from want is what the communists promise but never get around to delivering (unless you're an elite crony or a government apparatchik who is n... more »

Physics doesn't justify that "everything and everyone is connected"
Tetragraviton wrote a nice text about the idea that "everything is connected because of quantum mechanics or string theory etc.", titled The Way You Think Everything Is Connected Isn’t the Way Everything Is Connected, and I completely agree with him. Science in general, physics, and modern physics in particular is often being "summarized" by the laymen – and especially religious people or people with a good heart – by the slogan that physicists have found evidence that "everything is connected" or "everyone is connected". So the message is that all of us should think as one soul or ... more »

Kolbrin - Book of Scrolls - Chpt 32 - Lament of Nefatari
This is a widows lament, but it still holds serious theology. The spirit form is clearly understood and accepted. My developed understanding of spiritualism generally is now rather complete.

Yet this material reflects my understanding rather well.

We talk about vaccine safety (and the lack thereof) because we care about you and your loved ones and want you to be educated. And we assume that those of you who both do and don’t vaccinate, love your children. That’s never been at issue. However, there are still some people who believe the science
Greek Coastguard Fires At Turkish Freighter In The Aegean Sea Suspected of Transporting Narcotics
*DW:** Greece fires at Turkish freighter in Aegean, Ankara protests* Greece's coast guard has fired "warning shots" at a Turkish freight ship near Rhodes island, prompting a protest from Ankara.

"Paying Attention to Red Flags: Warning Signs"
*"Paying Attention to Red Flags: Warning Signs"* by Madisyn Taylor, The DailyOM "Red flags often come in the form of feelings urging us to pause for a moment, listen to our intuition, and reconsider. Just as the universe wants to provide for our needs, it also seeks to protect us from dangerous situations, destructive relationships, and even minor inconveniences. Frequently in our lives, perhaps everyday, we encounter psychic red flags warning us of potential problems or accidents. We may not always recognize the signs. However, more often than not, we may choose to ignore our intu... more »

"A Look to the Heavens"
“Stars are sometimes born in the midst of chaos. About 3 million years ago in the nearby galaxy M33, a large cloud of gas spawned dense internal knots which gravitationally collapsed to form stars. NGC 604 was so large, however, it could form enough stars to make a globular cluster. *Click image for larger size.* Many young stars from this cloud are visible in the above image from the Hubble Space Telescope, along with what is left of the initial gas cloud. Some stars were so massive they have already evolved and exploded in a supernova. The brightest stars that are left emit light s... more »
"Life, Eh?"
"We said together, wistfully, 'Life, eh?' It says everything without having to say anything: that we all experience moments of joyful or painful reflection, sometimes alone, sometimes sharing laughs and tears with others; that we all know and appreciate that however wonderful and precious life is, it can equally be a terribly confusing and mysterious beast. 'Life, eh?" - Miranda Hart
"The Alternative to Thinking All the Time"
*"The Alternative to Thinking All the Time" * by David Cain "One evening last week, I was sitting on my front stoop waiting for a friend to come over. I brought a book out with me, but instead of reading I just sat there and let my senses take in the scene. I didn’t look or listen for anything in particular, I just let the details of this particular moment in the neighborhood come to me: the quality of the air - heavy and warm, the incoming summer storm kind; birds; two couples having a conversation down the sidewalk; the clinking of dishes coming from inside the house to my right;... more »
Those Who Will Gain The Most If Trump Trashes Healthcare For Billionaire Tax Cuts, Are On The Warpath-- Against Dean Heller
Yesterday we embedded the TV ad the shady Trump-Pence SuperPAC, America First Policies, ran to slam Nevada Republican Dean Heller for standing up for Nevadans getting healthcare through the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion and refusing to vote for TrumpCare. Trump wants revenge and Pence wants to send a signal to other Republicans that there's a political price to pay for putting constituents ahead of party-- *even* for a weak and vulnerable incumbent in a swing state that went for Hillary over Trump 539,260 (47.92%) to 512,058 (45.50%). The targets of that ad were as much ... more »
Donald Trump is planning a secret trip to visit the UK so long as nobody finds out. Oops somebody found out. Oops it's cancelled again.
So is there like a back way in that I can use? A servant's entrance or perhaps doggie door?
