To me it appears that a small wealthy elite run the world. They buy the regime they want. In order for a candidate to be elected to office they have to attract enormous financial backing. This backing comes from political parties. The political parties are reliant on donors and in order to attract the donors have to produce policies that appease the donors, not the people. The political candidates are in effect vetted by the powerful and the public presented with candidates all of whom represent the establishment. Nobody else gets a look in. We always end up with a choice between the lesser of two evils and hence a sham democracy.Coupled with that, this small, wealthy elite own the media and use it as a propaganda machine to manipulate the views of the population. They also use bribes and lobbying to force through their desires agai…
A common theme that always seems to unite both sides of the political aisle is advocacy for small business. From sweetheart loans to tax rebates, a lot of public assistance is available for small business. When the government isn’t helping small business, it’s usually going o…
Hm. What do you see here ? Two or three ends ? Depends where you look from, right ? The same thing happens when you say "I'm right, you're wrong". You look from the left, the other from the right, and - both are wrong - or right ? Your "right", or point of view, is a combinatio…
The deep state took a deep hit Monday. The deep state is comprised of the unelected, unaccountable, and irresponsible bureaucrats, regulators and legal authorities who bear little or no consequence nor suffer any hardship while they enforce policies that they feel are correct, in spite of legislatio…
The three Abrahamic religions started up way back in the dawn of time – in a time of medieval ignorance. Judaism has its roots 3000 years ago. Christianity 2000 years ago. Islam 1500 years ago. They originated in nomadic tribes of Arabs in a small area of the Middle East renowned for it…
It seems that every time a politician wants to appeal to a certain section of the electorate he starts to prate on about "Let's make the country great again". Over the years we have heard this many times, from many politicians. So I think it is a statement that is worth thinking about. …

“The thing you sacrificed comes back years later, knife in hand, demanding to sacrifice that which it was sacrificed for.”-Carl Jung In Plato’s Myth of Er, each soul returns from a previous life and chooses its attributes for the next return to Earth. These qual…
As the world observes yet another global environment day, the events in the background paint a mixed picture. There is America opting to exit from the Paris Accord on climate change mitigation, signed in the year 2015 by 194 countries committing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and restricting th…
Last night after first hearing of the attack in London I had to record something. I had been working outdoors for most of the day and had just settled in with some tea and switched on the television in the vain hope that there might actually be something worth watching. The moment the screen came t…
This is an article I stumbled upon when doing some everyday research. I found the style of this article (written by Hugo Ravn) to be remarkably similar to mine, historically accurate and unbiased. This is a comprehensive piece that portrays an alternate view of t…
In the previous post in this series Let's Talk I asked why, in the year 2017, do we still have unresolved gender issues. Why do women feel the need to band together to acquire that which is their due? Today, thanks to a post by JoAnn Chateau entitled , I am inspired to ponder the question o…
Carl Jung is famous for having brought the concept of working on shadow elements within the psyche into Western psychotherapy, although the process of self-therapy, self-transformation and psychic self-evaluation with subsequent spiritual elevation is indeed a very ancient practice. A…
It's sad but true but most government unions managed to extort pension benefits for their members that were empty promises. Oh I know all the agreements they made are "legally binding", but it's just as unrealistic for today's government pensioners to expect their promises to be fulfilled…
I have been told by more than one person, guys specifically, that I verge on terrifying. I didn’t get it at first. Like how am I terrifying? Terrifying because I might hurt you? Terrifying because you might hurt me? Terrifying because are falling for me and the timing is bad? …
The MACRO perspective of a Central Planner starts with a viewing of our world at the global and/or planetary level! Planet Earth is one family of 7.4 billion people (now all interconnected)! Our Central Planners must now think of the entire global community as they plan their policies! As co…
I'm feeling a bit lazy (again) so I thought I'd share with you something I wrote at Skeptics about "Eisenhower's Death Camps: There is a subset of Holocaust denial that claims that the German POW camps set up in the Rhineland were "death camps" where, allegedly, a million German soldiers died…
What happened to Otto Warmbier? A University of Virginia student that took a tourist trip into North Korea with the " Young Pioneer Tours." He was never outside the watchful eye of Kim Jong-un's agents. He committed a teenage misdemeanor offense that made him a tool for…
I had spent all day standing in line with my daughter to get permission to have a baby. A desperate to be a grandmother is often a strong factor in those decisions. Since we weren’t members of the ruling party and made too much money, we …
Let's get ready to rrrrruuuummmmbbbblllle! The Senate Republicans have now laid down the gantlet, and it is now time for us to have a complete and thorough discussion and debate about government involvement in the health care system. One where open suggestions and ideas may be freely floated,…
It's not been fun being a fan of Michigan State lately with the arrest of gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, as well as the arrests and indictments of at least three football players for some degree of sexual assault as well. Obviously there have been some abominable problems there that ne…
by Billy Roper The 4th of July holiday will be here soon, a time when most Americans enjoy fireworks, grilling outside, and virtue signalling their patriotism. Most of them, when they think of freedom, are going to be celebrating freedom from responsibility. Oh, a foreign tyrant threat…
“The main reason Einstein was chosen to be the ambassador of physics is because he was Jewish and it would have be considered racist to criticize any of his theories. This is how the system uses political correctness to protect corrupt and deviate theories and ideas. Einstein …
