"A Look to the Heavens"
“Namibia has some of the darkest nights visible from any continent. It is therefore home to some of the more spectacular skyscapes, a few of which have been captured in the below time-lapse video. We recommend watching this video at FULL SCREEN (1080p), with audio on. The night sky of Namibia is one of the best in the world, about the same quality of the deserts of Chile and Australia. Visible at the movie start are unusual quiver trees perched before a deep starfield highlighted by the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy. This bright band of stars and gas appears to pivot around t... more »
Chet Raymo, “The Scattered Leaves of All the Universe”
*“The Scattered Leaves of All the Universe”* by Chet Raymo "Dante Alighieri, the inestimable Florentine poet, carried in his head and gave expression in verse to pretty much the entire universe known to his 13th-century European contemporaries. From the dregs of the Earth to the highest heaven he journeyed in his imagination. His was a universe made expressly for humans, and nothing was in it that was not part of the human drama of sin and salvation. When at last he has ascended through the Great Chain of Being, he looks upon the Godhead itself. "And within its depths, I saw ingath... more »
The Poet: Theodore Roethke, “The Geranium”

"I Know..."
"I know the world seems terrifying right now and the future seems bleak. Just remember human beings have always managed to find the greatest strength within themselves during the darkest hours. When faced with the worst horrors the world has to offer, a person either cracks and succumbs to ugliness, or they salvage the inner core of who they are and fight to right wrongs. Never let hatred, fear, and ignorance get the best of you. Keep bettering yourself so you can make the world around you better, for nothing can improve without the brightest, bravest, kindest, and most imaginative... more »

Another Gates Vaccine Bites the Dust
Sick Monkeys Everywhere! From the Children’s Health Defense: Excerpts: One day after revelations that the Gates/Fauci Moderna vaccine caused severe illnesses in 20% of high-dose recipients, Bill Gates got devastating news about his other “warp-speed” COVAX bet. The Oxford Vaccine Group (OVG) spike-protein vaccine was on an even faster track than Moderna. In May, Melinda Gates predicted it would be jab-ready by years’ end.

The Risks vs. Benefits of Face Masks
Is There an Agenda? From the Children’s Health Defense: Excerpts: There has been a shifting of positions on the use of face masks with the COVID-19 outbreak. Initially it was not recommended, then we had different signals from the U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams and representatives of the CDC, the NIH and other agencies. More recently, the policies recommending wearing face masks have become more prevalent and often mandated in public places. Is there sound medical or scientific basis for the recommendations? Is much of it simply virtue signaling? Is there a legitimate rational... more »

Caravan Supports Workers And Fights U.S. Postal Service Privatization
On Thursday, May 21, 80 cars lined up, in front of the Main Post Office in downtown Detroit, to thank Postal Workers, and to insist that the Post Office not be privatized. For over an hour, cars circled the Post Office, with drivers blowing their horns and leaning out their windows to yell “Thank You” to the workers. Postal employees responded by smiling, fist pumping, and applauding as the cars drove by. One creative driver had stacked Priority Mail boxes on the roof of her car—just in case someone didn’t know that it was the Post Office the caravan was supporting. Participants s... more »

Reuters Fake Factcheck
By Paul Homewood Reference was made in yesterday’s post on Naomi Seibt to a so-called Factcheck by Reuters, which supposedly debunks her side of the story.

Iraq Attempts To Cut Oil Production To Meet OPEC Quota
(Reuters) Facing the dual crises of oversupply of oil and a lack of demand due to the Russian-Saudi dispute and the coronavirus outbreak OPEC agreed to a new production quota to try to shore up prices. In May, Iraq announced it was partially fulfilling its new quota set by the organization. Iraq is supposed to cut its petroleum production by 1.06 million barrels a day. In May, it said it would be reducing its output by around 600,000-700,000 barrels a day. Roughly 60% of that would come from state run fields such as Majnoonin Basra. The other part would be from fields run by int... more »

What to Make of Secretary Pompeo Decertifying Hong Kong Autonomy

(Source: Gage Skidmore, https://flic.kr/p/av8tXf; CC BY-SA 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/) U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made history yesterday when he refused to certify that Hong Kong is autonomous from China.

Although Pompeo’s dramatic announcement drew headlines around the world, his decision should not have surprised observers, given the new requirements on any such cer... more »

Why Iran’s Fuel Tankers For Venezuela Are Sending Shudders Through Washington
There was worry that as the Iranian tankers approached the Venezuelan coast the US warships would challenge their progress. As it turned out, the US Navy did not intervene. A major internal incident was averted. Why the United States did not block the Iranian vessels does not have to do with Iran or Venezuela alone. It has to do with the presence of China behind both countries. China has deep commercial links with Iran, and it has gradually developed such linkages with Venezuela. During the global pandemic, China has flown vital supplies to both countries. But, crucially, at the U... more »
The Problem Of “Peaceful Protesters”
Across the world and across history, oppressed, marginalized, poor, and working-class people have used a variety of tactics to further their goals and fight back, and this includes things that could be considered violent. Overall, this means that when people refuse their roles within society and instead force the system into a state of crisis, that’s when we can create a situation in which we can forward our own agenda. This often means that people refuse to do the things that allows the system to reproduce itself. In the case of workers, people strike. In the case of renters, they... more »
Global Crisis Spurs Global Activism
The COVID-19 pandemic’s global spread has highlighted inequities in the world like inequality of income and access to resources in many communities. The response to the crisis has been a varied patchwork of public health measures and economic assistance, but in most countries, those with wealth and access to resources have fared significantly better than poor and marginalized communities. Now, a group of more than sixty academics, activists, writers, artists, workers, students, and others from more than twenty countries have come together to draft a manifesto addressing these ineq... more »
Elections, A New Leadership And BDS Are Pivotal For Palestine
Ever since President Donald Trump blundered blindly into the Middle East with his woefully inexperienced team of advisors, US foreign policy has swung wildly out of control. Predictably, it has destroyed the already fragile two-state solution as defined by the Oslo Accords. It’s no use pretending that such a solution is still viable. That, though, may not be all bad news for the Palestinians, whose current leadership in Ramallah is incapable of actually leading the people and taking control of the situation. The Palestinians have never worn the cloak of victimhood very well; it is... more »
The Irony Of American Freedom
Perhaps it is too difficult for a culture in pursuit of happiness to pause and face this immense loss. Perhaps it is too scary to accept the frailty of human life. Perhaps anger is much easier to access than grief. Anti-apartheid revolutionary and leader Nelson Mandela spent twenty-seven years in prison. It was there that he learned about patience and perseverance, and acquired a deep, complex understanding of freedom for both the oppressed and the oppressors. In his autobiography, A Long Walk to Freedom, he wrote, “For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to liv... more »

Get Lewis (a stream of consciousness, semi-live post)
After deleting those excitably premature tweets earlier, *Newsnight*'s policy editor Lewis Goodall was slow to start tweeting this afternoon but, after beginning gingerly, is now gathering pace again. As ever, however, he can't help himself. In fairness, he's forever breaching BBC guidelines on the use of social media by 'liking' and 'retweeting' only those who help advance his own views. And he's already retweeted this from someone from the Institute for Government (Lewis's curious links to which I've blogged about before): Does it surprise you that he'd retweet someone who fin... more »

The Greatest Danger to Our Liberty is Not the Virus
[image: undefined] My family and I were about to sit down for lunch on Easter Sunday when I received an extremely disturbing call from a constituent. The caller said, “I wanted you to know that my wife is hanging on to her life and I’m afraid she’s going to die soon.” I could hear total desperation in the man’s voice. “She’s living off a bag of IV fluid a day at this point. The doctor won’t operate on my wife due to the governor’s orders.” The great Milton Friedman once said that “the government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem.” Indeed, the government’s many ... more »
Coronavirus Propaganda Mimics War Propaganda
[image: undefined][image: undefined] In the period leading up to the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, the Bush administration and its media accomplices waged a relentless propaganda campaign to win political support for what turned out to be one of the most disastrous foreign policy mistakes in American history. Nearly two decades later, with perhaps a million dead Iraqis and thousands of dead American soldiers, we are still paying for that mistake. Vice President Dick Cheney, Attorney General John Ashcroft, Assistant Attorney General John Yoo, and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, we... more »

"Choose Your Side"
"We Americans have a saying: "It's more important what you stand for than who you stand with." I do not rely upon peer opinion to decide what is right and what is wrong. I make those decisions for myself, and even if I discover that every other human alive chose differently, that doesn't mean I was wrong. There comes a time in every man's life when he has to choose sides. I have chosen my side. I am comfortable with my decision. I do not think everyone on my side is a saint, but I know that those on the other side are much, much worse. Sometimes a man with too broad a perspective ... more »
