Big Picture Tuesday

by

Welcome to a multi-dimensional view forward of life from the East Texas Outback.

Thanks to this being a “Monday on Tuesday” – and at best a four-day work week, I thought it best to lay out what’s happening along several axes in order to simplify the morning grok.

Time Axis First

You know, of course, that everyone has a “default thought axis” they operate on?  Some people are “time axis” types.  Everything is in Outlook or some to-do list gen.  Or, it’s in Project.  In terms of how these people operate (in their heads)? Highly sequential.

Easiest way to help them is a status check arranged on the timeline:

The Money Axis

This is pretty simple, too:

  • Dow Futures were Down early.
  • We expect an upturn before the close today.
  • Undecided is the Elliott Wave and Trend Channels
Aggregate Ibdex
As you can see, on the right, we are still working the underside of the ascending trend channel. When this breaks later this month, look out below!  (Or above – did you mention whether you prefer a deflationary or inflationary Depression in 24?)
    • Bitcoin – which lost the battle to hold $26,000 was $25,776 earlier today.
    • Hype-a-thon continues and as we have warned, collecting cryptos is very much like collecting numbers and pretending it’s money. No, governments own that game.  Numbers and blockchain are technologies not fungibles. Did you see where India’s central bank to launch wholesale CBDC into call money market? If a crypto doesn’t convert to a CB currency, is it money?  Not to this old man…

The GASP! Axis

A lot of people you run into in Life aren’t on a set grind or schedule (working toward goals and outcomes).  So, they can’t focus on money.  They aren’t ruled by clocks or schedules.

Instead, they focus on whatever gives them a great sucking in of breath and an empath’s hit of emotion. They loves causes and get wrapped up in everything.  They almost look for axles to get wrapped around…

Here’s this morning’s “play list” to keep them occupied:

This is a nice compact way to slice the day. Time, money, emotions.

We could toss in a bunch of anecdotal observations (like the national price of gas is $3.811 while it’s $3.38 here in Texas).

Or, we could mention Burning Man is over after a dampish.  Or that a Fan ejected from US Open match after German player said the man used language from Hitler’s regime… but does it matter to your normal course of business?

Naw.  Not for us.  It’s just people being, you know, people.

ATR: No Mulch

Our timeline was rolling right along Monday. Redneck standard time. But on the way to the dirt garden, I stopped at the lean-to greenhouse.

Next thing you know, I had torn out three planters worth of too old tatsoi, garlic that was not doing well in the heat.  Did some research on Companion Planting only to discover the Peppers weren’t fruiting much probably because they were next to the cauliflower.  Which, though monstrous, were not setting heads and were happy just bolting…

Dr. Snippers, stat!

Anyway, this led to another couple of hours of research, dirt work and planting. The hierarchy – for those newish to gardening – is Companion Plants first, THEN square foot garden planting, THEN electroculture.

We will get to the dirt garden mulching this week.  One of the joys of semi-retirement is being able to roll with the punches. Redneck Standard Time, understand, is simplified.  There’s only an Hour Hand.  No minutes or seconds.

(RST also has its own calendar.  Two days in a week: Days when the package store is open and the other when its closed.)

Summer is going to end out here, one of these first days.  In fact, there’s a chance of showers Saturday and then again next Tuesday.  After which, the 100 Fs should be done for the year.

For today?  Off to work on Peoplenomics and take the garbage out to the street.

Is life exciting out here, or what?

Write when you get rich,

  2. Your RST here is 599.

    i planted $40 of garlic and it disappeared in the weeds. i found one big bulb, still white inside but loose cloves and slightly strange looking, Cleaned it off and took a small bite and tasted nondescript, but several minutes later I was trying to vomit, tears, and drooling like some kind of nerve poison!! Went away in a few minutes.

    And most important I just discovered this morning that a mini size auto spade fuse exactly fits over a soldered in Chinese lifepo batterty charger circuit board fuse. Solder it in right on the blown fuse!

    So much excitement.

    • We plant garlic in the fall, in rows.
      Use my wheel hoe in my sandy loam soil for weed control and viola, bushels of garlic harvested in July.
      Dry for few weeks and then store.
      Plant end of September to mid October,

    • If you didn’t know, raw garlic is more nutritious than cooked.

      https://www.livestrong.com/article/340975-what-are-the-health-benefits-of-raw-garlic-vs-cooked-garlic/

      And then there’s this …

      “The truth is that once most plants are harvested, the countdown begins for nutrient loss, and nutrient content continues to dwindle over time, with some plants losing nutrients at an alarming rate.
      According to one article, most produce loses 30% of its nutrients in just 3 days after it is harvested!

      So, once picked, we move fast to do what we’re gonna do with our grown produce.

      I’m learning all the time, these past several years.

  4. Sorry about your Cauliflower….NOT. Never liked it. Love Broccoli. Tried telling myself Cauliflower is just white Broccoli. Brain answered, “Liar, Liar, pants on fire. Not eating it”. Always have problems growing either of those in the hoopties. I think it’s more an issue with temps, ventilation and feeding. Try some other varieties that are heat tolerant. I planted some Gai-Lon (Chinese) Broccoli this year that did pretty well. Very early, late Feb, before it got very warm. Looks more like turnip greens with a Brocoli stalk.
    Should go well with the Bok Choi and Totsoi.
    No Executive Committee this week. So no side stops at the farm supply or lumber yard to spend money this week. Will spend that time on kenetic equipment maintenance.
    Stay safe. 73

  5. George,

    It seems the nuke was already started, back in 1991: Per this article. :

    https://www.britannica.com/technology/depleted-uranium

    “The U.S. defense industry began using depleted uranium in 1977, but armaments enhanced with depleted uranium were not deployed in combat until the Persian Gulf War in 1991. They were subsequently used in interventions in the Bosnia and Kosovo conflicts, the Afghanistan War, and the Iraq War.”

    Deplete uranium (DU) shells are fairly standard stuff these days. They are NOT considered nukes. They are used for heavy armor penetration, taking out steel girded bridges and other difficult blast resistant targets. According to the chart on. this wikipedia page

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depleted_uranium

    the U.S. and Russia are estimated to have the most DU stocks (virtually tied). China is a player too, albeit with minimal stocks.

    • Army has Pohakuloa Training Area up in the saddle area between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. They were using depleted uranium shells for training, and an anti-nuclear activist was trying to get that stopped. Prevailing winds carry the dust west, down into the Kona resort are. She had a geiger counter down in Kona town that normally shows 10-12 counts per minute background. When the Army was firing the DU shells, she was measuring 213 counts per minute on the prevailing winds in Kona town, more than 20 miles away. Wonderful stuff to inhale and get embedded into your body… permanently. I don’t know if they got the Army to stop using it for training, or not.

    • “They are NOT considered nukes. ”

      SO….. detonating those above ground is acceptable.Now my moral and ethical delima on that thought…would we consider it ..OK. I believe.. NO we wouldn’t look at the fears of dirty bombs.
      https://www.dshs.texas.gov/texas-radiation-control/emergency-preparedness-radiation-control-program/dirty-bomb-potassium-iodide#:~:text=presence%20of%20radioactivity.-,Should%20we%20be%20afraid%20of%20Dirty%20Bombs%3F,a%20result%20of%20the%20explosion. . especially when everyone says natural gas exhaust is to deadly…lol … or is it the old it’s OK if it happens to you but unacceptable if it happens to us..syndrome..the usa has never had to deal with the horrors of war..it’s always been their land their people.. My fear is we are saying it’s just fine for them..to the other TWO big players on the planet that could obviously see the warped ethics and morals of such a thought..
      pushing death and destruction of other people families children heck I wouldn’t let the kids go out to play in a field of spent radioactive debris…

  6. Yes and this is an important thing “and take the garbage out to the street.”

    We now have weekly trash pickup starting this year, for a nominal fee of course. We also have biweekly recycle pickup. Great stuff! Why? What do you do IF you do not have trash pickup? What do you do with your trash? How do you dispose of it without filling up your yard with garbage, cans, bottles, plastic and what ever? Most people do not have a clue!

    Looking towards the future, when services might be limited or non-existent, what are people going to do? Welcome to TrashVille. There are ways to reduce and dispose of trash. Most people I talk to are clueless. Duh?

    When visiting the states I am amazed by the sheer volume of trash that people generate including the “environmentally” rabid. Ask them why they generate so much trash and it comes back to their wasteful lifestyle. Hypocrites?

    Cheers and do have a nice day.

    • Out here in the boonies of the Big Island, the county has waste transfer stations scattered among the villages. Some open only a few days of the week. My village serves a large area, so is open daily. They have truck bins for scrap metal, glass, and cardboard for recycling, as well as green waste that is chipped up and resold for mulch. And the bagged garbage gets compressed and goes to the landfill. It is a five mile trip from my house to the transfer station, so we gotta haul our own. There are some service entrepreneurs that will pick up limited amounts of trash for a fee.

      I remember growing up at a country home in Wisconsin in the 50’s. We had a ‘dump’ on the back 20 of our 40 acre ‘farm & forest’. Every week or two Dad would go and burn the pile. Reduced everything to ash and metal cans, and eliminate any food scraps that would attract vermin.

    • If it’s to the point services become curtailed due to lack of resources then I’d be willing to bet a lot of the usual trash will be greatly reduced, too. My conscience is bothered by the amount of paper, glass and metal waste we generate each week but packaging is just part of the food picture if you use the grocery for your food source.

      The evolution of trash disposal in our small town was a refuse dump that was part of everyone’s back yard or one several houses used at once. It was a burn pit that was then covered over with dirt. Our back yard produces interesting bottles from that era now and then if you get down below a foot or so. Our dog brought up a pristine Dr. YY. B. Caldwell’s, Montecello, Illinois bottle (it’s worth a few bucks) when she was digging by the back fence a year or so before she died. There’s also an old cesspool or pit back there that probably holds a few treasures as well.

      From there the town built a dump that was every boy’s dream as a plinking spot for as many BBs, .22s and .410 shells they could put together for decades. It was turned over now and then by the county sanitation workers but eventually covered up for good when individual house pick up was established in the late 70s. I’ve been to the city dumping grounds exactly once and am amazed at how much goes into it every day. It ought to cover at least half the county by now but it seems small. Old sites are producing interesting gasses I’m told with an eruption now and then.

    • Many townships or counties have “dumps” — landfills to which one can dump almost (but not quite) anything, for a fee. In some locales landfill access is restricted, and refuse has to go to a transfer station to be sorted, compacted, then dumped.

      When left to one’s own devices (like after an EMP) one WILL learn to compost, use a burn barrel, and how to use a bottle brush and a boiling water sterilization bath… And how to only fix as much food as one can eat, and eat everything they fix.

      Health Department regs which prohibit providing still-good but “expired” food, and fast food that’s been on the warmer for more than 10 minutes, to homeless people, REALLY piss me off. Restaurant customers who send more food to the trash than they consume, piss me off even more.

      My folks lived through the Depression on the East Coast. They moved themselves and their 3 kids to the Midwest in 1943 (they had to swap ration coupons with all their neighbors to be able to get enough gasoline to make the trip.)

      Where I grew up we were in the city. We had a 20×20 garden (probably their “Victory Garden” which they kept working after the War) which Dad worked and Mom harvested (except for Dad’s garlic and green onions), a composter, pear and cherry trees, an amazingly-productive grape vine and a strawberry patch, sandwiched into about a 54×60 foot back yard. My folks never threw out a rubber band or piece of string. All glass jars, and any bottle upon which there was no deposit, were cleaned and saved. Mom would produce a couple dozen pints of grape jelly every year. They went in Big Top and Skippy peanut butter jars, cherries and pears and the stuff from the garden went into the Ball jars. Most of y’all know how the baby food jars were used.

      Mom had a bunch of antique crocks, which she used for making mincemeat and various wines. The wines went in the sterilized bottles and were corked, the mincemeat went into Ball jars.

      Everything was used; nothing was wasted. We had very little table waste and what we had went into the composter. After we got trash pickup, Dad would put out a 33gal can once every few weeks, full of milk cartons and cereal boxes (too unclean to burn), empty cans and broken glass. Before we got trash pickup, it went into an old trailer Dad had that was made from the bed of a ’35 Chevy truck. When the trailer got full, he’d toss his shovel and garden rake in the back and we’d go to the dump. He would pay his $2 and we’d clear the trailer. This started when I was about 3-4 and he took the opportunity to teach me how to use the backside of a rake to clear refuse off of a creosoted trailer floor.

      I swung through the old neighborhood a few months ago. The old homestead is gone now, along with a lot of other 150yo houses. So are the trees. The yard is fenced but only Mom’s lilac remains. The nasty, stinky, smelly dump where we’d empty that trailer is now a neighborhood of $700k-$10mln, 2-5 acre estates. I would be willing to bet money that not one of those homeowners knows their house was built on a landfill…

    • “and take the garbage out to the street.”

      there was a garbage man strike..it lasted a week.. consider every man woman and child produces 7 lbs per day.. a city with a million people .. everything goes to the trash..
      when I worked at garbage ..the feds came in often just to go through some random citizens garbage . ( that’s when I bought a shredder) read their mail and go through their trash..they knew if they were having sex when the woman’s period is and what their whole general lifestyle was..
      in a SHTF scenario..this will get real interesting mountains of trash ..rats and other vermin would take over..it would be the dark ages all over again ..pests and pestilence..
      I worked waste management.. I can tell you there’s a lot in a small community..we dumped 60 tons on a slow day..most of it plastic.. products that could be converted back into oil easily..

      • Dude Loob – one of best summer jobs for a teen in my old hometown was Summer Twp. Worker. Your parents or some one in Family had to know a twp. commissioner to get one of those jobs..lucky me.
        You were either put on Road Crew – hot ass in the sun all day work..jackhammers, shovels, picks and what not – or – Trash Pick up, where I excelled.
        Grew up in a very, very wealthy zip code – like historically wealthy -depicted in old movies wealthy. You just had to put your trash cans outside . No end of driveway pick ups or anything like that. The old regular guys who rode the trash trucks were from inner city, and loved having young guns running herd on the routes trash cans in Summer.
        3- 4 peeps on the back of truck; 2 young guns, 1 or 2 old hands. Young guns run the route collecting everyones garbage in their big wheeled collector cans, and making piles of trash right along the truck route, for the old hands to just throw in the truck. Needless to say – my truck was Done everyday around 1:30pm – we were that fast and this included gourmet hot dogs lunch -wrapped in foil and strapped to truck muffler with hanger wire. Saved all chicken bones for treats – given to any and all Dogs that chased after the trash truck ; ) I still have tons of “treasures” people threw out.. Stars & Stripes papers from D-Day to End, YANK papers, pristine OG Nintendo..

        * beyond your House’s curtiledge – everything is fair game..no warrants no nothing needed.

        • lol lol ..the week after xmas.Xmas.. it was shopping day at the dump.. Kirby vacuum.. the most thrown out vacuum cleaner.. the reason..morons buy it pay thousands of dollars ..once the bag is full they’d batch it wasn’t picking up trash and throw it out. rainbows and Electrolux you can’t start it until you empty it lol..
          as a janitor there was a guy brought back an electronic jeep wasnteven out of the box..toss it out.. smash it up in the compactor..we put it together charged it up and took turns riding it for a week before they made us squash it..aluminum cans..I gathered the cans the length of the truck it was 60 – 100 a week in aluminum ..
          you go to the landfill and you’ll come home with more than you took..coats snowblower everything goes to the landfill..
          I have a wonderful griddle.. brand new.. they are getting better though.. now display tools are just shells but it wasn’t always that way..they would cut the cord off then set it up for display.. ( table saw etc) then three months later they tossed them out and cut the cord off a new one..
          last week I got another AED I now have 4..never been used.. no battery or pads..I tossed one of my batteries in it and it’s fine..they change the color of the box or the about of the battery and everyone has to throw them away..buy a new one for a couple grand..batteries recelled or new are expensive..so are the pads..pads use to run fifteen dollars today they are seventy plus the price doubled in the last year.. four times more than six years ago.. but it’s trash garbage.. treasures to anyone that wanted one.. I could have had 8 AED’S but the wife would have freaked out..
          one year shoes coats you name it..one year the deparnt store even tossed out the money they took in..everyone was out hunting for it..
          then you see the amazing..a woman threw out her ring.. an expensive diamond.. while canning it slipped off her finger..taken to the dump.
          she came told the guys her fate..asked if she could look for it.. the pile was almost a hundred foot high.. sure knock yourself out.. she looks at this mountain of trash.. and says.. there it is walked up the hill and picked it up..

      • “consider every man woman and child produces 7 lbs per day”

        They don’t have to. I’d guess I average a pound a day of dirty* cardboard boxes & packaging.

        What I personally produce, not counting used toilet paper and the package stuff, is probably on the order of 6 ounces per day (or less.) If I have a soda pop, that’s not refuse, because I crush ’em, to periodically feed da forge. I have zero canned vegetables in the pantry, only just a few cans of baked beans and some soup. Everything else is in glass, and the glass is washed, delabeled, and sterilized, then organized and packed for future use.

        In a SHTF situ, I’d probably try to ingot-ize the cans and any broken glass, too.

        *All my usable boxes are stacked, shelved, and stored for use in a cardboard garden. Boxes with excessive, multicolor, or slick printing are not suitable for this, nor are tiny boxes or pet food bags. I consider them “dirty,” and sentence them to the trash. In a SHTF I’d recycle the (mostly Tyvec) bags and send the paper to the burn barrel.

        • We had a really good recycling yard in town up until about 7 or 8 years ago or so. Then it shut down due to the transportation costs to the other side of Texas where everything was taken – and this was BEFORE fuel went through the roof. It was a great place to get rid of your old oil – and I had a lot as I usually changed the oil in our cars. I still have to with the diesel truck as it has an auxiliary oil filter I will NOT trust any of these quick-change places to reinstall correctly. But old batteries, electronics, metals, glass, cardboard and pretty much anything that was recyclable was accepted. I certainly do miss that place.

        • “BEFORE fuel went through the roof. It was a great place to get rid of your old oil ”

          at the transfer station we would get between five hundred gallons a week of old oil Bill.. it was something.. the company would come in and get it filter it then the road crews used it to spray on the sides of the roads.. a lot of shops have waste oil heaters that they use.. around here..
          back in the early eighties I read an article in Mother earth news about recycling old oil.. and would filter it.. I do that with my freeze dryers .. I recycle the vacuum pump oil and filter it..
          https://youtu.be/9oTg7ToOXGU?si=tP2pqQchveDgx8-e

          I use to have an old oil heater that we had in the house years ago.. the thing was awesome.. today you don’t see them much.. I was looking for one for my grandkids.. the old barrel stove kit and the oil drip system..
          https://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/guide-gear-large-outdoor-wood-stove?a=2233231
          I have one of the swiss army stoves multi fuel.. that looks like this one.. has it all.. great little item.. well not little it is four foot long and two foot in dimeter.. heavy as hell to LOL.. with the valve to burn just about anything..

      Ask them why they generate so much trash and it comes back to their wasteful lifestyle. Hypocrites?____________________

      Saw a bumper sticker that read,
      “Don’t throw things away. There is NO “AWAY”.

      Don’t want to drown in trash (as opposed to garbage) but am trying to reduce all that packaging offered at the check- out stand. Also, picked up an old but working in-sink Disposal unit and a salvaged sink to grind all my vegetable waste in advance of putting it into a compost bin (also salvaged). Makes the stuff break down extremely quick as opposed to just dumping it in whole. None of the system cost anything to build so I class it as a win-win.

      • “Ask them why they generate so much trash and it comes back to their wasteful lifestyle. Hypocrites?”

        it doesn’t have a thing to do with wasteful lifestyle.. it’s about the business model..
        it ust to be if it broke you fixed it..
        take our dishwasher..
        the upper rail is broke.. the unit is still under warranty..
        the cost to get someone here is two nudged more than a new one. the warranty company will scrap this one and replace it with a new one. when the girls ( always on a diet) were talking about dieting I was going to take the old washing machine and hook it up to an exercise bike..
        you can’t even donate exercise equipment..
        you cannot hire a plumber or an electrician to do maintenance small jobs..I tell the kids become an appliance repair or a plumber then sell service contracts..ten bucks a month 48 hour I’ll be there for you..30 percent discount on labor..
        a young man that graduated from plumbing school this past spring decided yo do repair work..in two weeks he was over a year backlogged in jobs.
        he hired another young graduate ( which is how come I was able to get them )
        they want new construction not repair..
        it’s just like our grid to.. it’s vulnerability is the business model.. we no longer make the party and they are designed to fail

  7. I agree with your: Companion gardening with proper spacing [ square foot gardening] and will be adding electro-culture gardening enhancement this coming planting season. I think I might just be getting the hang of this – after how many years ??
    .
    Went for a ride on the Harley this morning.., 58 degrees., which adding in the wind chill factor, was around 47 degrees – and I felt it. Just coming out of the high 90’s and triple digits – it really felt cold.
    –
    There is an incredible amount of info on the web on how-to raise / protect chickens. You’ll do just fine.

      • Unfortunately., you can’t be around the coop 24/7., you have to build it like a bunker. Over-built., one-n-done., There are a lot of sneaky little varmints out there., and chicken aren’t the smartest thing in the barn yard.

        • “chicken aren’t the smartest thing in the barn yard.”

          Amen to that remark! They’ll dig out under the walls of the chicken tractor, making holes for the skunks, raccoons, possums, etc. to get in under the wire. That’s why I lay a foundation of 8X16 paving stones around the perimeter of the chicken tractor. Doesn’t keep the chickens from digging inside, but it keeps the critters from taking advantage of the holes from the outside.

    • finally writing up the idea of the cube garden.. I still have to put the one rack up.. but I am working on getting it from concept to active item..
      in the concept for a dedicated system I would route out the light rails and mister rail.. but after making the solar beer chiller.. ( you had to have ice in it itherwuse it would freeze the beer) the wife wanted to park in the garage.. so I will get the first cube rack done but leave it convertible for the wife to use ..
      and similar to Mr 3 by 3 72 plant area.. from that I learned that I don’t need as deep of a plant trough.. corn can be every six inches but you need a stalk support system.. last year’s corn I got enough in a 3 by 3 space to provide for 4 in frozen corn on the cob..

    Record temps yesterday in the great state of Pennsyltucky @96* OMG

    .. Early in da morning, just about sunrise, I see all the chemie electro fog spreading out from sprayed chemtrails overhead- I knows it going to be miserably hot & humid – Guaran-F-ing-teed.
    Curious side effect of the electro fog spraying – shielding?effect from DEW’s. Thankfully Pennslytucky did not make the list for new smart grid cities, or secret .mil bases – so no Maui-Ouies scheduled anytime soon for the great state of Pennsyltucky.
    Why all the chemies – musta been steering a Storm somewheres along eastcoast…Hello Nexrad.

    Fall crops have been planted – mostly Lettuces..Kale & swiss chard. Raised bed gardens getting redo after fall crops (lettuces/chard/kale/carrots) are done. When the raised beds were 1st constructed – I neglected to put down screening material on the bottom level – to keep the Vermin(voracious voles) out. Furry little bastards burrow under the side walls and up into growing beds..like I said “furry lil bastards’.

    and so being stuck inside for several days, it be time to catch up on some reading..1st a lil intel report from the shrimp dyk..poor man suffering ill side effects from a poisoning/hit attempt several years ago..its a WAR out there G, WAR!

    Whoopi Goldberg Misses ‘The View’ Season 27 Premiere After Testing Positive for Covid-19…

    Goldberg has contracted COVID-19 multiple times and subsequently missed The View twice in 2022; she first tested positive for the virus in January of that year and later again in November.

    When she first missed The View in January 2022, Goldberg chatted with her co-hosts over livestream, telling them she was “shocked” by her positive test result.

    “It was a shock, because I’m triple vaxxed, I haven’t been anywhere, I haven’t done anything,” she said at the time.”

  11. I see the IRS is now getting training on the ,40 caliber Sub Machine Gun, They are getting serious about taxing the Millionaires, I suppose next it will be the Hand Grenade range Then next how to call in a Air strike, We have a new Gestapo forming in DC

    • Aye. There is a reason the Chinese look at us today as we looked upon Germany before 1939. Except we won’t go into Sudetenland. Taiwan? UKR? Niger? Syria…well, stand by kiddies.

    • Like I said a few days back – “enemies foreign AND domestic”. To think there’s enough people out there that are willing to put on the jack boots and stomp on us is unbelievable. Perhaps we need to put together a first response team of our own but that won’t happen until we actually see our neighbor being drug out and handcuffed on the ground … maybe.

    • “They are getting serious about taxing the Millionaires”

      No, they’re not. Despite the propaganda foist on us by the lamestream media, the blatantly ignorant, and useful idiots, the United States’ wealth lies not amongst the wealthy, but within the middle class and working poor.

      {But Ray, what about all the billionaires?} Musk and Bezos are the two richest dudes in the USA. Their combined wealth would not pay the interest on our national debt for 6 months. If you tagged everybody in the country whose assets exceeded $5mln (rich guys, sure, but mostly small farmers and family businessmen) or income exceeded $250k, and seized 100% of their assets, said assets would not pay off the amount Mr. Biden borrowed in his first year as da Prez.

      Marx had no beef with the wealthy. Hell, he was one. The “bourgeoisie” (which the ignorant kiddies call “boojee”) about whom he railed were what became known as the “middle class,” not the wealthy or elitists.

      Marxism is a two class, caste system, with a very small but very wealthy, elite class, from which all politicians and leaders come, and a huge peasant class, from which all labor and cannon-fodder comes. Peasants may never “jump caste” and become elite.

      The vast majority of contemporary “newscasters” and Democrat politicians are Marxist-communists at the National level. The vast majority of “rank & file” Democrat voters are completely unaware of this fact.

      People like Alan Dershowitz and Tulsi Gabbard, have abandoned the “Democrat” label because the political party formerly known as “Democratic” has become communist, and they are aware enough to have recognized this fact. They have not abandoned their principles, but their principles are similar to those of John Kennedy, not All Out Crazy…

    • The claim was made on a video that the main/only? reason government agencies would need heavy-duty weaponry such as submachine guns and grenades, which are offensive (not defensive), would be to enable them to seize property. This could be the final step in the internal communist coup that’s been progressing for a century or so.

    Folks,

    Current msm reports suggest one of 14 UK-supplied Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine has gone up in smoke (The crew thankfully surviving).

    Here’s a 2020 link from the British charity publishing arm of the armed forces relating some of the marvel machine’s impressive Gulf War stats updated for the 21st century. The 62 tonne, 26 litre V-12 even offers one 24 volt boiling vessel (BV) for the tank commander.

  14. Must be nice to be where the price of gas is so low. I just topped off my tank in town and paid $5 per gallon. Yep, $4.999. Still can’t figure out why they still put in that last “9.”

    Oh yeah, the price was the same one week ago.

    Folks,

    “Reuters” served up a spectacular feast for the eyes. President Z. celebrated that “…two more ships have successfully passed through our temporary ‘grain corridor’ “. Elsewhere in the article the apparently same two ships are quoted by Ukraine’s Deputy PM as carrying pig iron and iron concentrate.

    As for the starving-African-poster-people, let them eat yellowcake?

  16. re: why?

    Folks,

    I just realized that the Ukraine President having previously morphed from surname Zelensky to Zelenskyy may now be transitioning in the mainstream media to Zelenskiy.

    Hmmmm. Have I got this right? If they go with the tried and true “Kyiv”, that’s Ukrainian. But if they opt for the current msm-approved “Kiev”, then they’re talking Russian?

    Okayy, aye think aye understand.

      Andy,

      It seems the study of vexillology became organized about the French entity FIAV (International Federation of Vexillological Associations) co-founded by a Swiss vexillophile, Louis Mühlemann. He is credited with having designed the coat of arms of Gabon. It’s supporters are two black panthers bracketing the Latin inscription “Uniti Progediemur” (We shall go forward united.) He also created the coat of arms of the Republic of Congo whose president’s daughter-in-law is the eldest daughter of the newly deposed President Bongo of Gabon? One of the vexing matters about the inauguration uniform of his interim replacement, General Brice Nguema, is that the panthers on his uniform crest were not black. Can a leopard change its spots?

  19. Re: Big Picture
    feat: Tribal Council

    Folks,

    Will the winds of change in Gabon turn galling? Is Paris holding an immunity idol? It seems that the coup leader and head of the presidential guard reached his post by replacing a half-brother of the president in 2019, and is himself said to be perhaps a cousin of the now deposed president according to the BBC. He had previously served as a close assistant to President Ali (Alain-Bernard before he turned muslim) Bongo’s father President Omar Bongo prior to entering a period out of favor. By the way, deposed President Ali’s second wife was featured on ABC News in 2009 subsisting on welfare in the state of California. Years earlier she had been Cinderella in a Hollywood love story before it all turned pumpkin-like.

    Alright back to the coup General now interim President Brice Oligui Nguema. “Al Jazeera” reports the leader had composed a song for his former boss including the lyrics “I would defend my president with honour and loyalty”. They also quoted a 2020 investigation into his purchase of three Maryland homes totalling over a million dollars paid in cash.

    Cash in some chips at the DJ George jukebox! Wind the clock back to 1978 and relax to a selection from the deposed Gabon president’s album, “A Brand New Man”!

    In 2023 the brand new man is the same as the old man?
