Good and Evil

My feelings on religion and cosmology are admittedly a little different: I don’t believe in the Big Bang, gods, or subscribe to any religion, so you may think it odd that I write about “Good and Evil” outside any religious context. Frankly, I am not even sure “Good” actually exists; however, I am certain that “Evil” does.

Admittedly, evil requires a subjective, secondhand opinion in order to exist because it isn’t an independent force, spirit, or devil; rather, it lives in a gnawing, infinite vacuum within certain of our fellow men: Men with no inner light, imagination, or decency. Men with an inner void.

One striking example of this comes from an email in the Epstein Files, an email in which Jeffrey Epstein remarks to his brother that Donald Trump has absolutely no morals, no shame, and no scruples whatsoever. He receives an LOL reply from his brother that Trump “doesn’t have so much as a single solitary cell of decency in him.” But why does it seem the number of such men on the world stage is increasing?

That’s like asking why are there so many mass shootings. Who knows? Maybe it’s the pressure of overpopulation in a world of decreasing, mis-allocated resources. Maybe it’s plastic in the environment, endocrine disruptors in the water supply, or the millions of industrial chemicals in the environment. The number of parents brainwashing their children to believe in a religion based on a blind faith that their god is real can’t help. Maybe “All of the Above” is the right answer.

A Heads-Up from Canada

As the Mad King forges his alliance with Russia and China, he seems hell bent on causing the demise of the America you knew. If he is not stopped soon, Americans will be living in a Banana Republic plutocracy as he sells our national resources to fill his own pockets. Putin must have captured his imagination with the “Dugin Plan” for Tri-Partate world domination; he stands stupidly transfixed …if he crashes our economy and trashes our reputation, it doesn’t matter — he expects to be the last man standing (or escaping to Moscow in his Arab jet if it can get off the ground with that much gold).

Even though I quite recently posted a blog about how Canadian PM Mark Carney outsmarted our extortionist-in-chief, I am posting his comments from the Davos Summit here because he nails the situation “dead nuts.” Here’s the article from Deutsche Welle World News (reprinted here without permission) : Continue reading “Mark Carney at Davos” →

The Red Herring

I’ve been warning that the so-called “Epstein Files” were a “red herring” since 2024:

“A red herring is a rhetorical device or logical fallacy that distracts from the main issue or argument by introducing an irrelevant topic. It’s often used in debates, discussions, or writing to mislead or divert attention away from the original point. The term derives from the practice of using a strong-smelling fish to throw hounds off a scent during a hunt, metaphorically representing a misleading clue.” — from AI query

Recall that Donald Trump used his first day in office to task his hand-picked lackeys in the “Justice” Department to assign 1,000 FBI agents to purge his name (and presumably, the names of Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Peter Theil) from files used in the criminal investigations into Jeffrey Epstein. This fact was so widely reported at the time by mainstream media that it’s inconceivable the media seems to have amnesia as they race to create a new media event about the release of whatever crumbs are left after a full year of redacting, shredding, and losing records. Can there be anything left for the public to see? I doubt it. What Trump wants to hide is the Russia connection to the potential blackmail the files might contain. His cry to release the files is a “red herring” the media will use to sell hope that justice will be done.

Make no mistake, Jeffrey Epstein was a monster. His myriad victims deserve better than they are getting. Donald Trump deserves to be horsewhipped for his participation, but his base could care less. But there is misdirection at play here, and only one important story worthy of headlines. Rest assured it won’t appear in the legacy news: The takeover of America by a cabal of evil billionaires backed by adversarial foreign governments, particularly Russia, in a bloodless coup. Any other story is a red herring to distract you.

America: Land of the Addicted Consumer

America: Land of the Addicted Consumer

Let’s face this simple fact about Americans: We are a nation addicts:

“Addiction is a chronic medical disease characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding behaviors or substance use despite harmful consequences. It involves complex interactions among brain circuits, genetics, environmental factors, and individual life experiences, leading to changes in brain function and behavior control.” – National Institutes of Health

So here we are, addicted to smartphones, social media, sugar and fat, video games, and pornography — to name but a few. To understand the story of how we got here, we need to understand something of the story of organized crime in America. From the Prohibition era onward, Lucky Luciano and his childhood friend and “business associate,” Meyer Lansky, knew addiction very, very well. Luciano’s businesses were heroin and prostitution, and Lansky invented the modern casino. These men knew nothing of the languages of neuroscience or brain chemistry, but they knew how to manipulate both from their direct observation of addiction.

The original purposes of the casinos were three fold:
1. To generate a flow of untraceable cash
2. To launder money from the heroin trade
3. To create a venue for gangsters to mix and mingle with Hollywood stars    Continue reading “America: Land of the Addicted Consumer” →
