Michael Yon gets his existential and mythological wookie on, and then some. Having (like him) experienced many, many different cultures, I think he’s probably right on the money. I’m not even going to excerpt this – I’ll just republish the whole thing. It’s too good to shorten. 03 August 2022 Götterdämmerung am Styx, Germany… Continue reading The clash of cultures, and the Beast that drives them

You won’t read about this in US news media…
The corporate media in America aren’t printing anything except what their political and oligarchical masters tell them to print. True, in-depth analysis of the news simply isn’t happening in Big Media. We’re very fortunate that independent journalists and smaller media outlets are still providing it . . . but for how long? That’s a very… Continue reading You won’t read about this in US news media…
No, we can’t save the planet – it’ll do that on its own
The late George Carlin left us (among many other performances) this eight-minute rant on “saving the planet”. It had me in stitches. As always, he releases numerous F-bombs, and is rather blunt-spoken, but he’s very much to the point. If you can stand the profanity, I highly recommend watching this video clip. Inimitable! Peter

When “going green” means an energy drought
Mish Shedlock sums up Germany’s energy dilemma. Angela Merkel mothballed nuclear power plants to appease the Greens. The Nord Stream II natural gas pipeline is ready to deliver gas but is totally shut down due to sanctions. Nord Stream I needs repairs but sanctions limited availability of parts. Rather than put the nuclear plants… Continue reading When “going green” means an energy drought
Let’s hear it for technology!
Scott Adams brings the snark in his “Dilbert” comic strip last Sunday. Click the image to be taken to a larger version at the strip’s Web page. I can only sympathize. I don’t use many apps on my smartphone, but it’s still infuriating to find how many of them require this, or that, or… Continue reading Let’s hear it for technology!
WEF fingers in the government pie, all around the world
Sky News Australia contributor Rowan Dean, who also edits The Spectator Australia, has some trenchant thoughts on the similarities between government reactions to popular protests in Canada, Holland and other countries. The common denominator: their leaders are mostly disciples of the World Economic Forum and Klaus Schwab. It’s worth taking five minutes to listen… Continue reading WEF fingers in the government pie, all around the world
The Georgia Guidestones “bombing” may not have been a bomb
By now I’m sure most readers know that the so-called Georgia Guidestones were damaged by an explosion on Wednesday morning. The rest of the monument was demolished soon afterwards, allegedly due to “safety concerns“. I have grave doubts about the news coverage of the incident so far. I haven’t commented until now because I’ve… Continue reading The Georgia Guidestones “bombing” may not have been a bomb
OW OW OW OW OW OW!!!
Courtesy of Watts Up With That: After this, it might be a while until climate activists try glueing themselves to anything in France. Activists should do their research before pulling a stunt like that. US and UK police might be soft on disruptive protestors, but there are some police forces you just don’t mess… Continue reading OW OW OW OW OW OW!!!
We’re seeing this in action every single day
IOTWReport points out that the preoccupations of the US mainstream media do not (to put it mildly) reflect the real concerns and priorities of the average American. That’s something one can’t help but notice. The issues the news media are hounding to death, emphasizing again and again in their broadcasts, are not the issues… Continue reading We’re seeing this in action every single day
