Did you know that the Earth has its own vibrational frequency? It does. It is 7.83 Hertz (Hz), and it’s called the Schumann Resonance. When your brain is at its ultimate state of relaxation, like the state you might experience with practiced meditation (not sleep), your brainwaves are operating in this same frequency. It is …

There is an old saying, “Don’t confuse brains with a bull market.” I tried to tell a number of friends this the last year or two. It was meant constructively, since I was the only one most of them knew who actually flourished during the last crash. No one was interested though. Kind of like …

Here’s one with pictures. Compare this to your favorite slutty half-time show filled with demonic symbolism. 15:45 – Updated 23 Dec 2022 because the original YouTube video was no longer available. Special Thanks to Estoy Perdida… Eric Alfred Leslie Satie (17 May 1866 – 1 July 1925), who signed his name Erik Satie after 1884, …

So who will stand the test of time, Rachmaninoff or someone named Dawg? Sadly, that probably depends on the culture. A culture that now looks down, instead of up. And that seems to be the direction we’re going – down. Any culture that glorifies all that is nasty and evil instead of all that is …

Another post in our ongoing quest to determine whether there is intrinsic value in great works of art, or whether one person’s turd is just as great as another’s Debussy, well, because someone decided it was… 5:29 – Kathia Buniatishvili – Claude Debussy: Clair de lune For anyone who is actually listening to these, here …

Ever more proof that man does not learn from history – and, in all his greed, pride and arrogance, in fact has little interest in it at all, at least in any real history… “The Lord giveth increase, but man devised credit.” “The general shape of the universal delusion may be indicated by three of …

It is the entrance aria of the title character, a mezzo-soprano role, in scene 5 of the first act. It is based on …

I listened to a well-known ‘hip-hop’ person recently proclaim himself to be the greatest artist that ever lived. Since this was such an utterly ridiculous statement it stuck in my head. That he could even remotely compare his binary tempos and coarse use of language to the aesthetic sensibilities that existed in famous works of …

A little out of order regarding a larger thing I was working on, this is something I posted tonight on Spacebook… Yes, I am still aghast at the thought of “hip hop” being called music, much less an art form. This short piece was written by Johann Sebastian Bach in 1722. Its intrinsic beauty is …

“The only thing [standing] between the United States and the abyss, is the Democratic Party.” — James Carville, political commentator So what exactly is the abyss, James? I am a little confused. Nietzsche intimated that if we dared gaze long into the abyss we may find ourselves looking back. Maybe that is what you are …

I just saw a headline stating that Bernie Sanders’ real obstacle is not Trump, but the Democratic establishment. Indeed, but I would say that this whole country’s problem is not Trump, but the larger Establishment (the Dark Lords, the Puppet-Masters, the Man (or Men) behind the Curtain). Trump is just a symptom of an Oligarchy …

“We are doing God’s work,” said Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs in 2009. Let’s take a quick look at that. In contrast let us also establish the definition of usury, a concept abominable since Biblical times. usury – noun the illegal action or practice of lending money at unreasonably high rates of interest. interest …

The testimony was widely publicized, and was cited numerous times by United States Senators and President George H. W. Bush as reasons to attack Iraq in …

At seventeen I rebuilt my first V8 engine from the block up. I had a friend whose mother was dating a German who had been a mechanic on the Porsche international racing team. He asked if he could drive my car. I was pleased to have him do so and handed him the keys. Off …

Notes from the journal… for Colleen 10 September 2017 I picked up one of my nieces a few nights ago at the airport. She had flown in from Ft. Lauderdale, escaping Hurricane Irma. I got my first real hug in a long time. It was one of those hugs that leaves you feeling loved and …

Ron Paul on Health Care… In the days before Medicare and Medicaid, for instance, the poor and elderly were admitted to hospitals at about the same rate they are now, and received good care. As a physician I never accepted Medicare or Medicaid money from the government, and instead offered cut-rate or free services to …

Sharing a more personal post this evening. I hope you enjoy… The Call Girl Principle states that the value of services diminishes rapidly once those services have been rendered. This principle may take many forms. There is a story about a banquet that was thrown after Columbus returned to Spain, having ‘discovered’ the New World. …

In multiple conversations with friends the last week or so there has been almost universal agreement that the best thing that can happen for this country longer-term is for the Democrats to try to impeach the President. So, without further delay I will regularly call for President Trump to be impeached. Join me! While preparing …

Nearly four score and seven years ago this nation declared bankruptcy. I have tried the last few years to get friends and family to understand the implications of this. My efforts have been largely in vain. The concepts of the nature of money itself (and wealth creation) are foreign to most people. Under the present …

A number of years ago many witnesses reported seeing a missile launched – at night – off the California coast. It was Southern California as I recall. I no longer remember the details and will not attempt to look them up at this time. I read about it on a blog I used to frequent, …

September 7, 2019. On this day 18 years ago Hurricane Erin was making its way northeast toward New York City. It would pause off the coast of New York on 9/11, then turn due east and head north again. Did you hear about it? At all? I didn’t think so. Yet under the circumstances it …

The featured image is a graphical representation of electromagnetic energy filling a space. Wi-Fi. It represents the soup – the ether we now live in. Most of us at least. And it is going to get significantly worse with the introduction of 5G. Many who suffer from tinnitus are in fact experiencing a sensitivity to …
