On The Slippery Slope To WW-III: Russia vs. NATO
Indeed, as I projected three weeks ago, the days in the period approximately from 8 to 14 April, were the watershed moment in which momentous change occurred. That is now clear. The numerological and astrological pivot points of 11-12 April were decisive. For whatever reason, events in this Earth realm can be, and are astrologically and numerologically programmed, with the result that the game is now on with a vengeance. As things stand at present, Russia and Belarus are in a proxy war with the USSA and NATO/EU. Near future, direct, head to head, military conflict between these opp... read more

The Great Acquiescence — Glory To Ukraine
Not in my lifetime have Americans, purporting to be thoughtful, intelligent people, been so wide-eyed, so stupefied as those who are pretending to lead them and to inform them by seeking to bury them in ignorance. We now read that investigators are diligently “documenting the catalog of inhumanity perpetrated by Russia’s forces in Ukraine” — a U.S. diplomat’s remark. Nobody stops to think the investigators are all from nations that are acting against Russia. “Where else should they come from?” they shrug in Great Barrington.

Notes From Wartorn Ethiopia
I’m writing from Ethiopia, where the war that began in November 2020 continues, with the US backing their former puppet, the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), who ruled Ethiopia with an iron fist from 1991 to 2018, when they were finally overthrown by a popular uprising. The TPLF started the war by attacking the national army's five Northern Command bases in Tigray on November 3rd and 4th, 2020, but the West’s dominant state and corporate press narrative quickly became that Prime Minister Abiy had started the war by sending troops into Tigray, alleging the attack as his e... read more

From Alcatraz To Moss Lake, The Land Back! Movement Is Not New
Land Back! is a popular slogan among Natives on social media in the form of memes, hashtags and posts advocating decolonization. It is spray painted on the sides of buildings and bronze statues of euroamerican colonizers (preferably in red), as well as appearing as a talking point on an episode of Reservation Dogs. Although the term has gained popularity via social media and perhaps viewed as a recent trend, Land Back! actions have been in effect since the Red Power movement of the 1960’s and 1970’s. One of the more well-known Land Back! events from that era was the 1969 occupatio... read more
Gross Negligence In For-Profit Prison Health Care
By law, people in prison have a right to get the health care they need. In the late 1970s, the U.S. Supreme Court decision Estelle v Gamble set the standard for medical rights of prisoners. But prison authorities are being criminally negligent in not providing adequate health care to incarcerated people. As the jailed population ages, 40% have chronic health conditions. The cost of providing health care has skyrocketed and local, state and federal governments have contracted with for-profit prison health care companies as a way of tightening their budgets. Private companies give... read more

Biden's rerun of the Carter era
Washington Examiner: The last time prices were increasing this quickly was in 1981 when Ronald Reagan was president, interest rates were near record highs, and the United States was embroiled in the Cold War. The country has changed significantly since the Great Inflation of the 1970s and 1980s, and today's inflationary bout is much different — but there are some similarities between now and 1981, the last time inflation hit 8.5%. The inflation more than four decades ago was much more severe than it is now. Inflation peaked in the spring of 1980 at a jaw-dropping 14.8% and subs... read more

The Church of England, it used to be said, was the Tory party at prayer.

Particularly in the expanding suburbs from the 1930s to the 1960s, and for scattered but big C Conservative congregations in rural areas the local church was a community focus. It's no accident that there is a relationship between falling church attendance and declining Tory membership from the 1950s on. Inde... read more
