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 …

Non-Elite Humans Are Daring To Create Their Own Narratives excerpt from ZeroHedge (all formatting left intact)… Before we dissect what’s really going on, allow me to point out the glaringly obvious, which is that politicians, pundits, mass media and the U.S. military don’t actually care about the societal harm of fake news or conspiracy theories. We know …

Renewed and “Modernized” in 2012, the Smith-Mundt Act officially made it okay for the United States government to use propaganda on its own population. This wouldn’t be a surprise to many, except that it is now institutionalized. H.R.5736 – 112th Congress (2011-2012): Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 | Congress.gov | Library of Congress It would …

This was a simply superb interview. As I listened to this I was reminded of how common sense, intelligence, and good moral conduct knows no racial boundary. Those of us not fixated on race in fact give it little thought. I was also reminded of the hundreds of hours of reading and audio I have …

For our readers in Canada (or elsewhere that this book has now entered the public domain) I have provided a PDF copy of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World Revisited in the ebooks archive. I already own a copy in paperback, as well as on Kindle, and was able to reread it again recently. Published in 1958, …

The wormhole goes so far beyond where most people are able to conceive. This is the place where science and religion meet. Many have wondered for years why I have harped on Huxley’s Brave New World as much as Orwell’s 1984, noting that what we have been experiencing is in fact a melding of the …

The Period It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of …

From the Introduction of Lin’s book Tao Te Ching: Annotated & Explained… In the West, the Tao has veered away from its generic roots and taken on an aura of exotic mystique. Those of us who cling to this misconception may be surprised to encounter Asians who casually speak of the Tao of Jesus or …

It is my intention to do a post or series of posts on this topic after doing more research, but I wanted to open this up for discussion. I want us to have a copy here of the Talmud for reference and research, and have been looking for a good resource for that. I believe …

A number of years ago I listened to Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five as an audiobook. This was an additional track that followed at the end. It takes a small part of the book where Billy Pilgrim is experiencing time backwards, and reads it into a background of music. Some may find it moving. I did. …

After many weeks of thinking about it I finally got Nextcloud installed on both my Linux systems last evening. It is working flawlessly so far. Nextcloud is backup and file syncing software, but it is more than that. I finally moved all my systems to Linux two years ago after many years of experimenting with …

A thoughtful look at “reparations” from the perspective of a black man… 10:37 – Larry Elder – 16 May 2019 “Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don’t mean to do harm — but the harm does not interest them. Or they do …

I am pleased to say that The Code of Hammurabi page is now substantially complete. Everything here is a work in progress, but this was something I thought was foundational for the site and I am glad to have it done. It seems to be the affliction of every age that those who inhabit it …

When I first started thinking about this site I assumed it would be mostly anonymous. Not so that people could hide behind some facade (people including myself), but so that we might speak freely without fear of repercussions by some real-life whack-job. Using pseudonyms has been done throughout the ages. That being said, I have …

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. …

“White folks was in the caves while we (blacks) was building empires. … We built pyramids before Donald Trump ever knew what architecture was. … We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.” — Reverend Al Sharpton
Incident in a Rose Garden A Persian Nobleman: This morning, my gardener, deathly pale, Rushed in for a moment to tell me his tale. “While tending your rosebed and pruning with care, I glanced o’er my shoulder and saw Death standing there. Shaking with fear, to the woods I did flee, But Death’s hand still …

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 …
