Musical Interlude: Hans Zimmer, "Time"
“Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.” ~ Carl Sandburg ○ “Time goes, you say? Ah no! Alas, Time stays, *we* go.” ~ Henry Austin Dobson ○ "Someone once told me that time is a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, that reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we live it. After all, Number One, we're only... more »
"I'd Pick More Daisies"
*"I'd Pick More Daisies"* by Don Herold "Of course, you can't unfry an egg, but there is no law against thinking about it. If I had my life to live over, I would try to make more mistakes. I would relax. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I know of very few things that I would take seriously. I would be less hygienic. I would go more places. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less bran. I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary troubles. You see, I have been one of those fellows who live prudently and sanely, h... more »

Quote of the Day: On sports cars, subsidies and so-called sustainability
*"The Tesla, in effect, is a beautifully engineered toy for the conspicuous-consumption market, accessible to millionaires but beyond the reach of the commercial market. Neither it nor most other electric vehicles have any place in a competitive, free-market environment. As an indication of how economically injurious these playthings are to society on the whole, the U.K.’s National Grid estimated that Britain would need to increase its peak generating capacity by 50 per cent to meet the government’s plans for electric vehicles, the equivalent of building 10 new nuclear plants.* * ... more »

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 11, 2017 #USAF B-1B Lancer #bombers on Guam stand ready to fulfill USFK’s #FightTonight mission if called upon to do so https://t.co/O3oVeFrNrG pic.twitter.com/IAm2qLwcWY — U.S. Pacific Command (@PacificCommand) August 11, 2017 Those were Trump's early morning tweets today, though he also took a moment to suggest that Mitch McConnell might need to quit his job. Yep Trump seems very committed to escala... more »
KIM JONG-UN; SEX; DEATH
*North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un, or his body double.* On 1 November 1992, five top Israelis flew to North Korea to discuss cooperation between Israel and North Korea. Kim Jong-Un and his elite friends are said to have a *Pleasure Squad* made up of kids as young as 13. *Inside North Korea’s secret sex parties* The kids are picked out by soldiers - sometimes from their own school classrooms. Their family and medical histories are examined, and routine checkups are performed to ensure their virginity is intact. "The kids are expected to service the small military circle of Nort... more »
"Battle of the Behemoths"
*"Battle of the Behemoths"* by Jim Kunstler "As the empire deliquesces into a fetid slurry of economic failure, we stand ankle deep in the rising swamp waters witnessing the futile battle of the giants, Walmart and Amazon. Neil Howe, co-author of "The Fourth Turning", wrote this week that “[t]he Amazon-Walmart rivalry will determine the future of retail.” Well, it seems that way, perhaps, and I understand why a lot of people would imagine it, but I would draw some different conclusions. What we’re seeing is more like the battle between Godzilla and King Kong, two freaks of nature p... more »
"How It Really Is"

August 11: Thinking....
Nobert Cunningham, in his daily commentary for the irving press, says on Thursday that our schools should be teaching children to think. That was a brave thing to suggest because, if they did think, nobody would buy his paper. (One of Thursday's big, world news stories in his paper is that a truck in Arkansas spilled it's load of frozen pizzas all over the road. Wow! Gotta think about that.) In all my life in education as student and teacher, I cannot think of any level at which I was taught to think. To memorize, yes. But think - very rarely. And, when I tried to teach students t...more »

Korea Crisis: Trump”losing control of his rhetoric” but without any plan for attack
President Trump's threats against North Korea conceal the absence of any US intention to attack that country. All they do is play into Kim Jong-un's hands. The post Korea Crisis: Trump”losing control of his rhetoric” but without any plan for attack appeared first on The Duran.
1957 Chevies Secretly Produced Until 1967?

EXPOSED: The Regime Change Efforts Of Federally-Backed Corporate Libertarians
[image: undefined] While libertarians are typically known for their opposition to foreign intervention, a recent exposé published by The Intercept showed that libertarians are quietly engaging in missions – with assistance from the federal and corporate partners – to foment regime change throughout the world. “When there is an opening, you have a crisis, and there is some demand for change, you have people who are trained to push for certain policies,” Atlas Network president Alejandro Chafuen said. “And in our case, we tend to favor to private solutions to public problems.” Chafu... more »

Ravitch Doubles Down on NAACP Charter Embrace
Last October the NAACP passed a resolution calling for a moratorium on the approval of new charter schools. The resolution did nothing for the millions of segregated children already suffering in the penal no excuses charters that no NAACP Board member would ever allow for his or her own children, but it was a decision that, nonetheless, freaked out the multi-billion dollar charter industry and the abusive, well-paid overseers who run the charter reform schools. As a result of NAACP call for a moratorium last fall, the billionaires went to work to put pressure on the NAACP to re... more »

SUMMER ASSIGNMENT: The basic logic of information!
*FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 2017Part 5—Trump Junior's famous meeting:* What role does information play in our national discourse? Consider the chatter on cable news, just last night. Again and again and again and again, we saw Donald J. Trump pounded for his allegedly stupid remark about the way Putin helped the federal government by barring 755 employees from American embassies in Russia. Allegedly, Trump had made a stupid remark. Perhaps sardonically, he'd said the firings will help the federal government save some money on payroll. Everyone saw how stupid that was, since the employees ... more »
Countries Are Starting To Take Sides In the Event Of A Korean War
*(Click on Image to Enlarge)* *DW:* *Nations start to choose sides in event of North Korea war* As tensions rise, North Korea has found a supporter even as some US allies reaffirmed they would back Washington in the event of an open conflict. Could Germany - and other NATO members - be forced to fight for Trump? Amid growing talk of the possibility of open conflict between the United States and North Korea, countries have started to affirm their positions in case violence breaks out on the Korean Peninsula or elsewhere. Although countries have yet to throw their support behind Pyon... more »
Shine on You Crazy Diamonds
*Fish Jumping on Water* *Video from YouTube* "Anonymous" recently commented that I should "get back to work". Being out on the road, or, in my case, out on the water does lend a certain "otherworldliness" [call it perspective] to the "work" of posting about geopolitics. Sometimes, even, as happened recently to me, a writer will get a flash of inspiration, a lesson, from nature. Sometimes, the "natural lesson" when combined with a timely and cogent link(s) can morph into a theory, a reflection or an "insight". A day or so ago now, while slowly motoring up the passage to Nanaimo... more »

The GOP Will Never Dump Señor Trumpanzee-- But Will He Dump Them?

Now he's going after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), a key leader in his own party."

Donald Trump actually thanks Vladimir Putin for kicking out American diplomats.
Courtesy of Politico: *President Donald Trump on Thursday thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin for expelling American diplomats from Russia on the grounds that “we’re going to save a lot of money,” prompting dismay among many of the rank-and-file at the State Department. * *“I want to thank him because we’re trying to cut down our payroll, and as far as I’m concerned I’m very thankful that he let go of a large number of people because now we have a smaller payroll,” Trump told reporters at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, according to a pool report.* *“There’s no real... more »
