People who come here from Bumfuck or wherever, speaking some pigeon form of Ainglaish that they think is great and no one here can comprehend, always get jobs that have them directly interfacing with the public. God only knows why and if there is one, it’s laughing it’s ephemeral ass off about it. Yes, the title is THE TOWER OF BABEL, as pronounced unintelligibly by virtually all migrants.

Went to one of our two gas stations in town this morning to get some gas for my chain saw and to top off the tank in my car. The pump locked my credit card in place and did nothing, I waited and waited, finally went into the gas station to get someone to deal with this and no one was behind the counter.

Then this tall, young very foreign looking woman came out from somewhere and said something I couldn’t understand and I told her that the pump won’t let go of my card. She said a bunch more totally unintelligible words, really fast, I said “I can’t understand you”, so she said a bunch more of them, also rapid fire.

Deciding not to respond, I followed her out to the pump where she pushed buttons to make the pump release my card and using mostly body english and sign language, indicated that the far pump was the one to use, grabbed up my empty fuel can, stuffed my card into the far pump and started filling the can. Since I only wanted enough for the chain saw because the rest will go bad if it sits in the summer heat, I beeped my horn at her and waved at her to stop. At least that worked.

I beeped at her because I had to drive to the other pump if I wanted to top off my tank, while she assumed I only wanted to fill the can, after I told her I wanted to top off my tank. I was finally able to chase her off, get my gas and go home after paying $6 a gallon for it. This may be an average or even low price in other countries but we’re the largest oil producer in the world. We shouldn’t be paying more than $2.50 a gallon, Trump keeps telling us that the price of gas is back down to about that and I’m wondering if he seriously believes this or is just blowing more smoke up our asses.

Life is so much better now that our population has gone from the 149 million it was when I was born to the almost 450 million it is now. Oh, so very much better now that the USA is the third most populated country in the world.

 

First I want to say that the rise of an absolutely worthless class of self-adoring people in social media like Facebook and Twitter, who call themselves “influencers”, is a symptom of the sickness of social media addicts. These people present themselves as being special and living special lives, and their universal message is “You can be more special if you do what I do”. You have to be a loser to let any of these parasites be a guide in your life.

This particular “influencer” was a Brazilian model with the usual puffy injected lips and sculpted facial appearance who “fell” from the 27th floor of an apartment building in Dubai where she’d been living for two years. With more than 20,000 Instagram followers, she was probably raking in more than enough money to support living the high life. “Her social media pages showed photos of luxury travel, designer fashion, and life in the United Arab Emirates.”

Therein lies the key to solving this not so mysterious mystery. She was living in the heart of Muslim land and “One of her final posts celebrated her engagement to her partner, Barbara Abrantes. The couple had recently shared the happy news with their followers before tragedy struck.”

She was a lesbian and openly announced that she was marrying a woman. In an Islamic country and very shortly afterward fell from a high building. With assistance, no doubt.

She forgot she wasn’t in Brazil any longer. Looks like those 20,000 followers are going to have to find a new role model. How tragic.

That didn’t last long. This was supposed to be a 60 day cease-fire between us and Iran, which Iran kept violating. All it really was, was a break so both sides could re-arm, anyway. We’d used up much of our munitions inventory over there and the Israelis were probably getting low on stuff too.

Meanwhile the Iranians could be counted on to keep pushing limits and violating agreements because we all knew that’s what they’d do, because it’s what they’ve always done.

So now it’s back to war but still a limited war, where Iran attacks someone or something and then we blast them, probably Israel does too, but not as hard as they need to be hit, Iran hits back, we hit them, they hit back, blah blah blah. The story line here is that we’re not invading because we don’t want to get into another endless M.E. war, so instead of invading we do all our fighting from the air, endlessly repeating. Right.

As long as this “limited engagement” continues, the Strait of Hormuz will see only limited ship passage. It sure looks to me like this is being deliberately regulated and orchestrated to maintain an oil shortage that keeps the price up, because if the free flow of shipping through that strait was the main issue, then we’d see an all-out attack to end this problem.

We won’t. What we’ll maybe see is a US takeover of Iran’s Kharg Island, which is pretty critical to their ability to process oil and load it into tankers to sell. Take that away from them and keep it away and this will crash their economy completely and put an end to their ability to purchase materials to build weapons. Meanwhile the people will be starving, which might finally force them to take their government back.

Kharg Island or not, while the Strait is closed, the rebuilding of Venezuela’s oil production is proceeding apace under the management once again of US oil producers. You get it? As the US continues to block Middle East oil from reaching the market, at the same time we’re developing those Venezuelan oil fields that our people hold leases to that were abrogated by dictator Maduro, whom we first conveniently removed from power and then scared the living shit out of the next in line for power to get in line with us as the first step in this plan.

The goal of all this is to strip the Middle East nations of their long held clout over the rest of the world because of their oil, reduce their incomes and the influence of their treasuries, and bring all that back into the Western hemisphere with the USA controlling it all.

So I have an obvious prediction, that by the time the Strait of Hormuz is safe and open to shipping again, if it ever is, the USA and Venezuela will have cornered the oil market, the vast majority of oil tankers will have abandoned the M.E. trade route and will be running the Western trade route and the reign of the M.E. oil sheiks will be history. This has already started as US and Venezuelan oil production ramps up.

There is only one thing I can think of that could change everything, and that’s if Iran is able to drop a nuke on Israel. This is why Trump kept insisting that regime change in Iran wasn’t a goal. It wasn’t. The goal is the end of Middle Eastern oil hegemony and preventing Iran from starting a nuclear war was vital in achieving this goal and still is.

The nearest star to our sun is Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf, about 4.25 light years away, and it has a planet called Proxima Centauri b that’s about the same size as Earth and is in the star’s habitable zone, for liquid water and breathable atmosphere. It orbits it’s star in 11 days, so for it, 11 days is a year.

Traveling at one-tenth of light speed, it would take 42.5 years. All this is from Google and since it’s not political propaganda it’s probably pretty accurate.

I’m just thinking here… it’s getting pretty common again for humans to live past 100 years. I say again because if you examine old records of past centuries, it was common before. The reason that average life spans were short was because of the high incidence of deaths from diseases and malnutrition averaging things out, and my point is that any truly advanced race has found ways to live much longer lives and doing so has forced them to either expand outward or limit their numbers, or both.

If you could live 300, 400 years and had developed hibernative deep sleep, just supposing now, a 40-odd year trip to a distant star would seem only as long as the time you were actually awake during it and would have little effect on your state of aging.

You don’t have to go that fast, you could go at half that speed, take 80 or 90 years. If you’re in a hibernative state, what does it matter?

There’s a habitable planet circling the closest star to our own. If it’s not inhabited, we could inhabit it, all we need, really, is only another 10 to 20 years more of scientific advance. We’re nearly there now, and that’s doing this with a form of rocket or propulsion power, not any of the exotic means that physics says is possible that we haven’t figured out yet.

These simple facts of distance, time and our pending capabilities are why I’ve no time for the naysayers of human ingenuity and invention. “Oh it’s too far”. When I was a boy, the top, most accepted science fiction story was people going to the Moon by being shot out of an enormous cannon in a tiny spaceship/capsule. The actual possibility of going there was considered impossible because it was impossible at the time. There was zero technology to do it. This is changing rapidly.

Artificial Intelligence is the new industry. Stone Age, Copper Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Industrial Age, Electronic Age, AI Age and from here our knowledge is expanding in all directions faster than we can keep up. In two more years or possibly less I will be about to buy an autonomous humanoid robot to help me around the house and read for me, as my AMD has me down to one eye to read with, for now, and the price may be under $20,000, considering all the competition now in the intelligent robot industry.

We don’t need humans to travel the vast distances to the stars, our robots can do it, they can turn off for the duration of the trip and then turn on again, like new, ready to go. Take 500 years, no matter, take another 500 years coming back to report. By then 1000 years have passed and our technology has leaped so far forward in that time, what apparent miracles as we would call them today, will we be capable of?

No star is too far.

Today is the USA’s Independence Day, it’s the anniversary of the day when our founders declared their independence from the rule of England and was met with ships from England full of soldiers and cannons in response.

It’s a long way across that ocean and we had more willing fighters and better generals than the British, we fought on our home ground against an invader, and they lost. Fortunately, because look at the oppressive mess those people over there are living with now, while we still celebrate our freedom from their tyranny with fireworks displays every fourth of July.

Freedom is only valued after you’ve suffered from oppression. People don’t really understand that until their freedom is taken away and it’s too late to fight for it. We’ve been a nation now for 250 years and the oppression we suffered then is long forgotten, which is why so many of us behave as if our government is our enemy now.

In a much newer nation than ours, they haven’t forgotten. In fact, they’re still fighting for their freedom. They became a nation in 1948, only 79 years ago, and many there still remember their first day of existence as a nation. Now, three nations that the US is allied with, Turkey, Syria and Qatar, are allied with each other as well with the goal of destroying the new nation of Israel and are scheming and conniving ways to do so, while Iran, the enemy of all of them, still works to build A-Bombs to attack them all with.

I’ll cut this short. If any of them can’t see the reality on the ground, then they’re fools, because if Israel is driven to the brink they can and will take their attackers over the edge with them, . The problem is, they are fools. Ernesto, if you read this, you’ve asked me before if there will be a world war, and now there may be, and this is where it will start. When minds are filled with hatred, the truth is not what matters.

Yes, that’s ME. I amaze myself, I can boil real water, burn toast, I’m incredible.

My greatest feat is probably making coffee successfully each morning, but every once in awhile I think of some food I like and make an attempt at cooking it. Getting good recipes isn’t a problem now that we have the Internet, it’s following the instructions where things often fall down.

The garden is producing well now and the zucchinis started to accumulate faster than I care to eat them, so staring at them in the refrigerator a few days ago, Zucchini Bread came to me. I never had any but recalled hearing about it sometime in the distant past, and thought, “why not? I have to do something with it”, found a recipe on the Internet and after not making too bad of a mess in the kitchen, succeeded in baking two loaves of it.

It’s GOOD. Very yummy. Wow. Now what I didn’t eat that day is wrapped against freezer burn and tucked away in the freezer. With that success behind me, memories of a really excellent potato salad recipe prompted me to make some for tomorrow, the 4th of July, our Independence Day. So I did that yesterday and once again, it’s hard to stop eating the stuff. It’s the best potato salad I’ve ever had, anywhere.

So, today I was staring back at 3 rude bananas that were just laying there, doing nothing, and since the zucchini bread turned out so well, what would banana bread be like? That was this morning, and while the zucchini bread actually tastes better to me, the banana bread ain’t bad, at all. After gobbling up a couple fat slices of it, the rest is likewise freezer-wrapped and getting frosty.

Now is the time to cook, almost everything you bake requires eggs and the price of eggs has dropped from a high of $12 a dozen, yes, it maxed at a dollar an egg, down to, now, a dollar a dozen. Enjoy it while it lasts because it won’t for much longer and the next baking shortage coming is flour. Because of the drought. Which motivated me to order up an extra 25 pounds of flour.

By cooking more, I’m doing my bit to stay ahead of continually rising food prices that seem to keep going up faster than they ever used to. I’ll keep buying bread for now but the next time it jumps up again I’ll be baking it like I used to. Nothing tastes better than fresh baked bread and that’s a fact.

Would you buy a used car from this man? This ridiculously self-righteous guy in the fancy robe is Pope Leo and he just excommunicated six Catholic bishops who gave him the finger, religiously speaking. The six outlawed bishops represent the SSPX, whatever that is, which is described as “ultra-conservative” and has grown into a global movement with an estimated 600,000 adherents. It operates seminaries, schools, retreat centers and hundreds of chapels worldwide, according to this article in CBS News.

AND THE WINNER OF THE MOST PIOUS LOOKING FAIRY IN A FROCK IS… LEO!

The breach is over those six bishops consecrating, aka promoting, four guys they like to be bishops like them, without the approval of the guy in the picture above, Leo.

So it looks like Leo just managed to create a brand new offshoot of Catholicism, since his hopes that the six he gave the boot to will come crawling back begging for his forgiveness are unlikely to be realized. I mean, those six guys, now ten guys, all bishops, which is like being a US general with the Pope as President, have an army of 600,000 and massive infrastructure, and nothing to stop them from declaring Pope Leo the Communist to be a False Pope and electing one among them as the New and Correct Pope.

Not that they will, but they could. Has Leo forgotten Martin Luther, who started Protestantism? The Pope back then excommunicated Martin for speaking out about all the bullshit coming from the Pope and his church and now we have Protestant churches and Lutheran churches, among the many names and branches of Christianity since that stupid Pope excommunicated Martin Luther, who started all this as a result, and I bet Luther didn’t start off with 600,000 followers, hundreds of chapels and etc. after being excommunicated.

There’s not one religion based on truth, fact and reality. They’re all collections of hearsay, hallucinations and lies and if this latest church schism becomes permanent and a new movement, I really don’t give a shit, I’m just reporting it from my point of view. I do hope these “ultra conservatives” aren’t a bunch of buttfuckers like their brethren in the Main Church. The last thing we need is another bunch of kiddie diddlers under a new name.

Sometime in the last two months there was a link, I think it was to a Facebook page, showing a skinny black Muslim immigrant, again, “I think” he was described as Somalian, in any case African, and in the video another like himself was taking, he had hold of a little kitten, a live kitten, that he was biting into, killing, to eat, while it was alive.

I decided to do a story on that after reading this morning about the Afghan “migrant” and “asylum seeker” convicted in France Monday of raping goats and a lamb. They gave him two and a half years in prison. This brought that video of the horrible death of that kitten back to mind.

I can’t find it now. Giving Claude AI one last chance was futile, Claude lied it’s ass of, claimed there was no truth to the stories of any African or other migrant harming any animals and yapped on with this bullshit for 6 long paragraphs about why it was all lies and propaganda. To which I can only say, Wow, looks what’s talking.

All I can find on Google is a short blurt about a Nigerian who was arrested for trying to cook a cat next to a children’s playground, and that was only because it was a news article, not something on Facebook. At that, it was brief. The original article was a lot longer and gave details of this disgusting illegal alien Google doesn’t want you to know.

This level of bias is everywhere now, in all the AIs, all the search engines, all the Main Stream Media. Most of the US politicians are immersed in it, along with most of Europe, Canada and Australia. Look upon these nations as being a bloc that supports the “Gender”, “Trans” and Homosexual madness along with open border migration from the worst, lowest and most uncivilized of peoples.

Another bloc is the Middle East, Asian and African Islamic nations that are steadily moving into the US, Europe etc. with those worst peoples I just mentioned, and who do not support all the madness. What do you think is going to happen? Already, a few in the UK are finally starting to fight back, an Irishman popped his cork and laid into some random Muslims with a machete, an appropriate tool for the job, I thought, and some of the Muslims mosques have been lit on fire. Of course, the government deeply deplores this sort of response to the unprovoked random murders constantly being committed in public places by Muslim migrants.

But what I’m wondering is where all this government and corporate bias is going. It’s huge, it’s worldwide, and it’s becoming steadily more oppressive. In many countries now people are being sent to prison for YEARS for simply complaining about the behavior of these evil, Stone Age, uncontrolled invaders and their blood and death cult religion.

I’ve seen all the Trans bullshit as being just that, an insane fad that won’t last and is only there to aid in the wrecking of established social mores and morals. It’s what this is the preparation for that’s becoming more unsettling to me because the appearance is a movement toward a totalitarian state. This was clearly the goal of the European Union, no doubt still is, is the obvious goal of those who now call themselves Socialists and Democratic Socialists, and is also the goal of the Islamists.

Those under the political guise of “Socialist” are very supportive of the Islamists, and Christianity is under heavy attack now in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Plainly, Islam is winning, for now, but is that the purpose of the Bias? To create a global Caliphate? Do all those world leaders and mega billionaire owners of massive corporations want to kneel on prayer rugs 5 times a day? I can’t imagine it.

The purpose of the Global Bias is somewhere in-between. Islam will always be with mankind until such time as most of it’s adherents are dead and the rest a part of some New Islam that’s learned to behave itself.

Remember that the UK dropped out of the EU? Remember what a bitter pill that was for the EU and all the acrimonious speeches by them? Is it so strange now that it’s the UK that’s been hit hardest by the Black Muslim Immigrant invasion? I think it’s revenge. The rest of invaded Europe is also damaged but not like that.

There has to be a plan. Just my guess here, war between the Catholic Christian nations and the Islamic ones can’t be too far off and it may well start with Israel against Iran and Turkey. The Muslims in Europe could pick that time to make their moves to take over. Hard to say how that will go. We do live in interesting times, it’s a very busy world these days and anything can happen.

Just watched “Jurassic World Dominion” on Netflix Prime. It was perfect propaganda for the open-minded who like to see movies with Happy Endings.

The movie proceeded much like all the other Jurassic Park movies, with lots of monsters and screaming and people getting eaten, of course, though it’s the ending that is meant to stick with you. It’s about wonderful, wonderful Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Yes, At Long Last, the dinosaurs and modern creatures all learn to live together, and as the sun sets in the west, we see a mixed herd of two-legged herbivorous theropods and wild horses running together, a flock of ravenous meat eating pterodactyls and bug eating geese flying peacefully together, and something vaguely like a couple of megalodons swimming together, alone together, but the gentle, happy music played on as the narrator told us how everything was living happily together. The big hungry dinosaurs were not eating everything else, no, oh no. While it wasn’t said out loud, I knew that it was a perfect world of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and if anyone is sappy enough to believe that this impossible fairy tale can actually apply to Real Life, I have an actual living velociraptor to give them for free. It can baby sit their kids while they’re out watching a movie.

You know, no one’s made a point of this, but none of those movies feature any of the monstrous carnivorous insects of those times. The dragonflies were capable of chewing a human’s head about half off with one bite, likewise the massive centipedes that also had a deadly stinger, and then there’s the scorpions the size of a 3-man luge sled. Monster spiders and ticks the size of dinner plates, the Dinosaur Age was literally crawling with lots and lots of very nasty insects which is the real reason everything had armor plate for skin. Wouldn’t adding in all those bugs into the movies have made them a lot more fun?
