Is Air Travel Back? Not For Me
I've only been to the Bahamas once; I didn't like it. The trip was to visit the legendary, now shuttered, Compass Point Studios in Nassau, where one of our bands, the Ocean Blue, was recording *Beneath the Rhythm and Sound* late in the summer of 1993. It was a difficult time for the band, who came from a very conservative religious fundamentalist background and had been coming to grips with the fact that one of its key members had decided to eschew the closet and embrace his homosexuality. He had written the band's only real hit and was the member most liked by the media. But the... more »

America: An Empire Eating Itself
*June 17, 2020* (Tony Cartalucci - LD) - Empire has one trick - divide and conquer. When it runs out of territory, nations, and people abroad to consume, it turns inward on itself.

With nations around the globe standing up economically, militarily, and politically - closing off once lucrative avenues of exploitation - the US finds itself turning more and more inwardly upon its allies and even its own population - either to wring from it whatever wealth it can or at the very least - to pr... more »

Elites can’t be trusted

Fast forward 68 years and it appears that people who are asked to serve a president are more interested in what they can make from “show and tell books” than having actually done anything for the good of the country in the president’s name.
