I started to write a brief intro to the Mark Dice video that I was about to post, a video from the 4th of July in 2016. I chose not to post it yesterday out of a sense of respect. It makes Americans look so stupid that it might only confirm our need to go. Like King Edward Longshanks remarking in Braveheart that sending his son to meet with Wallace would only encourage him to take over the entire country. And yet is this not perhaps the very trap that is being laid for us?
I have always loved this picture and what it stands for. It is an image of a statue that, for now at least, still stands in Lexington, Massachusetts. It is from a different time, on a seemingly different continent. It honors the citizen farmer who may have learned both Greek and Latin as a child. …

This is what happens when your identity is based on race. Some of the comments are priceless, from needing to revoke her n-word pass to her white privilege card arriving in 8 to 10 business days. Perhaps the best one of all makes note of who it was that was most obsessed with race… oh …

I posted this twice to facebook, as shown in the notes below. I continue to try to migrate previous journaling to here. 21 April 2019 – Spacebook… I posted the following here in September of 2017. Receiving no ‘likes’ and no comments it did not get much attention. I wonder whether it will become more …

“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” — CIA Director William Casey What a great guy to have running your “Intelligence” agency. By the way, anyone who says this quote is made up, or urban legend, it is not. It was written down by Casey’s own secretary …

Catching up on the day’s news before I call it a night, I see that Ilhan Omar is once more under attack. She said that the United States helped create the chaos in Venezuela. Well, everything I have seen for weeks and months suggests that that is absolutely the case. We create chaos around the …

“WAR is a racket. It always has been… It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.” — General Smedley Butler, 1935 Smedley Darlington Butler was a United States Marine Corps major general, the highest rank authorized at that time, and at the time of his …

Long ago I decided that the majority of what I was told or taught about food was most likely bullshit. One of the bonuses of being a cynic is that you assume that pretty everything you are told or taught is that way. You learn to do a lot of your own research, and your …

This is one of my favorite quotes, yet I hesitated to post it to my spacebook wall for many years. I post it here as I finally posted it there a couple months ago, and will follow up with more thoughts below… I fear this will be misunderstood by most, even the ones who at …

We think we are unique when, throughout the day, we encounter synchronicity. Yet it happens to us all, all the time, if we are open to seeing it and knowing it. We open a random book to some random page, and there is the very thing we were looking for. We wake up humming a …

Many years ago we were introduced to the fact that the Universe was expanding. Then more recently it was discovered that the expansion was not slowing down, as had been previously surmised, but was in fact accelerating. So what is the universe? It is easy to get caught up in thinking of the universe as …

A liberal-leaning friend chastised me recently for something I said on spacebook. I joked in passing (in the comments of one of my own posts) that I had had a friend in the early 1990’s who had made a real nuisance of himself, calling every night and talking at length about how bad his life …

I haven’t sold anything on eBay in a long time, although a number of years ago I did. I like eBay, or the concept of it at least, before it got so greedy. It was like a coast-to-coast garage sale. If you couldn’t find something anywhere else, you might still find it there. And the …

Willie Sutton was a famous bank robber in the 1920’s and 30’s. When asked by a reporter why he robbed banks he replied, “Because that’s where the money is.” Now whether you look at that as a simplified version of Occam’s razor, or simply a reminder to not make things more complicated than they are, …

Satyagraha is a Sanskrit word that was coined by Mahatma Gandhi. It translates loosely as “insistence on truth,” “loyalty to truth,” or simply “Truth-force.” (satya “truth”; agraha “insistence” or “holding firmly to”). The theory of satyagraha is timeless, and sees means and ends as inseparable. The means used to obtain an end are wrapped up …

There are three ways to create wealth: You can grow it, you can mine it, or you can manufacture it. Anything else is just a transference of wealth. Said in a simpler way, “No wealth is created without sweat.” Those who actually built this country knew this instinctively. We should be clear that there have …

I thought to title this “Gandhi’s REAL Views on Nonviolence,” but am trying to show some subtlety and restraint. Gandhi, like the Christ of the New Testament, I believe is one of the most misquoted – and misunderstood – men of all time. Whether it is “turning the other cheek” or “thou shalt not judge,” …

This is a banned TED Talk given by Rupert Sheldrake in 2013. Held in Whitechapel, London, the event was called “Challenging Existing Paradigms.” Sheldrake summarizes some of the main themes in his book Science Set Free. At eighteen minutes long, it is only a primer, but will still support multiple listenings. He lists the 10 …

In 1929, at the age of thirty, the Belgian artist Rene Magritte painted “The Treachery of Images.” The painting showed a pipe, written underneath with the paradoxical inscription This is not a pipe (written in French of course). When it was pointed out to him that what he had created was in fact a pipe, Magritte replied “OK, …
