Too prophetic. Wrote the stuff below and posted it at about 11 AM. At noon someone was pounding on my door, ” there’s a FIRE behind your back fence.”  Ran out and sure enough, the grass, the trees, the vacant home next door and my backyard fence between the two were all burning, and the flames were up to the top of the nearest TALL trees. I grabbed the garden hose, turned on the water  and started spraying the fire and was able to stop the grass nearest me from burning, and put out most of the wood fence. Then turned my attention to the right where the grass fire was nearing my workshop and started hosing that when some sheriff deputies showed up on my deck alongside the house and told me I had to evacuate. I refused as I nearly had it licked and if I left then, I’d not only lose the workshop and about $150,000 worth of stuff, but it would envelop my home as well and there was no time to grab anything. I finally got the deputies to give up and leave while the fire I’d had to leave untended was starting to burn the shop. I was able to get that put out before it was too late to stop, even as the water pressure was dropping because everyone around had a hose of their own going by this time. The pressure finally dropped to near zero so I ran into the house, grabbed two gallons of water I kept in the kitchen, for Just In Case, ran with them back to the back of the shop and doused the rest of the flames with that. By this time the firemen are all showing up and hosing down the burning trees and house next door, which was totally demolished, by the way. Possibly a dozen big fire trucks and other county vehicles arrived along with about 60 firefighters and a power company truck with a bucket arm to deal with a burned down power line, all in the space of a few minutes. It was very impressive

Just yesterday I was looking at that big field of tall, very dry grass behind my property and wishing it weren’t there. Today I got my wish, it’s all gone, nothing left of it but black ash and I now have a fire buffer around my home. not a great one but at least that area is no longer a threat for this year.

Burning down the house. A song by Talking Heads, playing on my PC now as I type this, for the inspiration. The House in this case is the Middle East oil economy.

Yesterday the Houthis in Yemen, whatever the hell a “Houthi” is, proudly announced that using a precision drone, they’d set fire to Saudi Arabia’s most Hormuz-Strait-proof Jazan Refinery, specifically built to ship oil from other than the Hormuz Strait to give Saudi Arabia some independence from it. This is right on the heels of a new NATO style joint defense pact the Saudi’s signed with Turkey and Pakistan in Mecca, declaring that an attack on one of them is an attack on all of them.

Now we wait and see if this pact has any teeth, I guess, and they all attack the Yemen Houthis. Or not. But this post isn’t about this attack or it’s outcome. It’s about the steady and inevitable disintegration of the Middle East oil economy that has held the world hostage for the better part of a century, that I pointed out in past posts is the real goal of those in the current US administration.

The US attacked Iran enough to nearly destroy their economy and now maintains that level of pressure through a blockade of their oil sales. The prevention of Iran from becoming another nuclear armed power is real, but the real goal is to keep their oil off the market along with as much of the rest of the Middle East as possible, without making it too obvious that shutting down M.E. oil production is the purpose of firing up this spreading war.

This is why Regime Change in Iran has never been Trump’s priority. If the regime becomes peaceful again, there will be no spreading Middle East war over Iran.

It’s not difficult to do this considering the volatility of all the different Islamic factions that keep springing up. They’re like the Greek Seven Headed Hydra, kill one and two new ones take it’s place. Violence is innate and endemic to Islam and easy to game.

Word has “leaked” that the US has used up most of it’s inventory of bombs and rockets, explaining why the attacks on Iran stopped.  Lies, lies, it’s all lies. This gives incentive to Iran and their proxies to attack surrounding nations to force them to surrender Hormuz control to Iran, which would, of course, give Iran great economic power in the world and make Iran the top Middle East power instead of Saudi Arabia. This is exactly why the US really stopped the attacks. To get them all fighting each other. There’s no shortage of munitions, it’s misinformation. Look at the massive bombardment of Iraq compared to what was done in Iran, look at the sustained effort of the USA in WW2. In No. Korea. In Vietnam. The stuff used up in Iran is nothing. And HINT, all those who backed up this BS story are in on the plan.

The US and the Saudis had an agreement begun in 1974 that the US would militarily protect Saudi Arabia and the Saudis would sell oil ONLY in US dollars. Most of the M.E. oil producers followed suit. Thus we had Petrodollars, keeping the Dollar the strongest coinage in the world. Two years ago they broke that agreement and have been selling in Yuan and other coinage, which has damaged the value of the Dollar and the credit rating of the USA, and now the Saudis are about to find themselves finally fighting on their own behalf for a change. Karma’s a bitch.

This is why the USA is involved in Iran, this is why the Strait of Hormuz is shut down, to wreck the Middle East economy and start them all fighting among themselves. This is why we finally ousted the Venezuelan dictator Maduro and put the fear of God in the new regime, and returned the oil fields back to the American companies they were originally leased to. Between the USA and Venezuela, we can easily supply the world’s oil needs, with better quality oil than the M.E.’s and at lower prices. Russia can fill China’s needs and is doing so now, so there’s no conflict there.

And in the long term, this is about global government, which looks like it’s going to be whatever grows out of US and allies and China. China keeps rattling sabers and making threats but I just don’t get the impression that they really want war with us or anybody, what they want is to simply keep expanding in influence. Which is exactly what the USA is doing and possibly with more success.

We the public are bombarded with politics and political news and the only time we hear about much else is about football and basketball games, Hollywood stars and catastrophes. We never hear what’s really going on in the world that actually MATTERS. Everything is filtered, which is why I’m telling you about this. Newsbleat to the rescue.

If you stop and look, most of the stuff you own was made in China. The Chinese heard America, The Great Consumer, scream about the crappy quality of Chinese goods and the Chinese responded with greatly improved quality. You don’t hear the cry to bring back Made In USA any more even though a lot of products are. Like armaments. We make some of the world’s best and have a lot of customers who are happy to spend their nation’s treasure on guns and bombs, and we’re getting our shipbuilders up and running again. War is always wonderful for profit and when all those little nations have spent all their money and are deeply in debt to us over their stupid wars, that’s when we move in.  Just exactly like the Chinese. It’s all about the profit, which is why we buy so much from the Chinese that they lack and they buy so much from us, and why THE ECONOMY and those running it is the real government of the world.

107 Degrees today, right now. Stick that in your Celcius.

In the garden this morning I felt a small rock under one foot, eroding from the earth, and my thoughts wandered to how the Earth changes over time, the lands move, the weather shifts, rocks get buried in one era and erode out the next. Which started me thinking about the fraud of Global Warming, or do we call it Climate Change now, that enabled governments all over the world to start taxing everyone for Carbon Emissions.

To back up their fraud they had and still have a bunch of actually credentialed scientists saying that Humans Are Causing Climate Change and they back it up with all sorts of graphs and charts and complicated explanations, for which I’m sure they’re well paid.

Climate Change is like Covid Epidemic, and the number one fraudster in that, who was the primary instigator of the worst fraud ever perpetrated on the population of the entire planet, is one Anthony Fauci.

You give some people what they want, which in Fauci’s case was both money and fame, and they’ll say and do anything you want them to. Fauci got both, and he may end up keeping the money but no one is adoring him  and begging for a selfie with him anymore. Now he’s exposed as the abject scoundrel that he is and famous has become infamous. Once our Congress is through with him, he’d do well to find a good hiding place.

Now if those who foisted Climate Change on the world would be censured and hopefully prosecuted and imprisoned, wouldn’t that be a happy day?

They do, I watched one give a sort of hour long podcast “documentary” this evening, though I gave up on it in the first 15 minutes or so, all about The Truth About Aliens. It was this pudgy, advanced middle age guy, who established his credentials and validity by revealing that “strange things” had happened to him as a child, though he never said what they were, but these strange events caused him to be interested in UFOs and he has been all his life and that makes him (implied, of course) an expert.

He went on to reveal that the government has a “catalogue” of various alien species that visit Earth and what they eat and how to treat them medically, and that alien spacecraft have a quarter-inch thick pure vacuum around them that keeps them safe because nothing can penetrate it. This gentleman of obviously exemplary education and mental acuity isn’t aware that a bullet will pass through a vacuum more readily than through the atmosphere. It was at about this point that I stopped listening.

Latest poll in the US is that 67% of us accept that extraterrestrials are flying those things and jackasses like that guy continue to put in doubt those of us who have actually had valid experiences. Time Magazine just printed a long article that began sounding like there’s truth to the phenomenon and then, word by hundreds by a few thousand words, led us all to the conclusion that they must be advanced aircraft from other nations who are ahead of the US technologically. Ignoring the fact that these have been seen since ancient times and written about and described, centuries ago.

Meanwhile a group of professional astronomers recently announced seeing twenty truly massive spacecraft traversing the face of the moon. So, not sure about the “other nations” theory, not real solid there.

There’s really only one thing that matters to me, on my bucket list, and that’s to see our government finally admit the truth before I kick it.

An Ourboros, as everyone reading this knows, of course, is a snake that eats it’s own tail.  That’s Middle East Islam. It looks like Saudi Arabia is about to be attacked by Iran’s allies in Iraq and Yemen and probably elsewhere. Iran’s already attacked some of the other area oil producers and doesn’t look to be interested in stopping, and now fully intends to have total control of the Strait of Hormuz to be able to strangle the global economy at will.

Just what our government intends to do about this, I don’t know, but full on, boots on the ground war with Iran is the only solution. The other option is to allow this new Hitler/Nazi nation to rise up and wreck the planet just like the last one did.

You know, it’s only the Middle East and African Muslims that cause all the problems. You never hear about the Indonesian Muslims. I’m hoping this snake will go right ahead and eat itself, and put paid to the Middle East as the world’s source of terrorism. It may be too late for that now that so many of these vile skinbags full of pig shit have moved to the West to destroy civilization but only time will tell on that.

Meanwhile, go to it, Sand Niggers, do what you do best, chop off heads, hands and feet, only make sure it’s your Muslim neighbors you’re doing it to. Personally, I’d nuke the lot of you.

A lot of people talk to themselves, and I’m one of them. Done it all my life. I can’t remember when I didn’t. Someone near would ask “Were you talking to me?” or ask me what it was I said. Usually my answer would just be that I was thinking out loud, and then they’d want to know what I was thinking about, I’d tell them it was none of their business, and that would sometimes escalate from there.

I also blither, it’s one of my forms of humor, telling myself jokes and of course, laughing at crap that no one else could possibly understand. Partly because my blither is really deep blither, it springs from my fevered little brain connecting things that would be better left separate, seeing the humor in the conjunction and then out spews the incomprehensible blither. Many years of living alone has made me highly skilled at this.

In fact, that’s exactly what this is.

It’s the end of the day and I haven’t posted anything yet, it’s just been too damn hot. 106 F. today. Too much. Goodnight.

It’s amazing how the confluence of totally unrelated things can inspire music in the mind of a truly creative individual such as myself. The road surface of my street was repaved today, and just now as I was listening to a woman newscaster with a strong cowboy accent, this amazing gem came to me:

“Oh, you can pave the road in front of my house, baby, but you can’t repave my broken heart.” That’s just for starters, I can do more. What do you think? I think it’s pretty true to the genre, considering how sappy cowboy songs really are. Come on, you like it. I know you like it.

There’s a surprising number of video series on Netflix and Amazon, documentaries, of peoples various encounters with UFOs or UAPs as the governments are making it stylish to call them now, and a lot of them have some pretty good shots of the various craft.

If you watch these for awhile and listen to what those who’ve had the experiences have to say, and you’re not entirely close minded, it dawns on you that these people are having genuine, valid experiences with actual, real objects that are beyond human technology and capability.

I’d seen a few UFOs as a boy, looked like shiny round white things way up in the sky, saw some more on a camping trip out on the Colorado River when I was 20, and of course the enormous craft I saw here, in the desert, one night a few years ago. It was that last one that finally ended whatever doubts I had about the reality of other intelligent species besides ours.

Once the plain truth was too plain to be denied any longer, then my questions started in. Our government obviously knows all about them, their constant, strenuous efforts to convince us that they don’t exist… if they don’t, why work so hard to tell us that so constantly and threaten everyone who says they saw one? If I were the government, all that denial wouldn’t profit me unless, it was profiting me. Unless I was in some ways involved with these alien peoples, or at least with their technology. Secrecy is the currency of governments and trading secrets is a source of power. At least and at last, our government has finally admitted that these things aren’t “swamp gas”, that they’re real and beyond our technology. Still, they won’t come right out and say that they’re aliens.

The account of Ezekiel, of the men from the sky in a ship described as a wheel within a wheel, is 2,600 years old. They’ve been around a long time and have often communicated with humans, apparently, there being so many historic references to it happening, right up to our current time. There are so very many sightings and closer experiences, so many videos coming up now that most everyone has a cell phone, it can’t be much longer before the US government goes from currently admitting that yes, UFOs, or UAPs, are real and not ours, and admits that yes, they’re aliens. After all, it is obvious, it’s just one more step, it’s just the saying of it that sticks in their throats.

It’s probable that they’re deeply involved with humanity after all this time. I wouldn’t doubt that they live all over our solar system. Astronauts to the Moon say they’ve seen the ships, the Russians have had some strange experiences sending probes to Deimos and Phobos, etc.  Alien races may have been around here for hundreds of thousands of years. We have no way of knowing and it’s such a pretty, inviting planet.

But if they’ve been guiding humanity, it sure doesn’t show, and if they wanted to wipe us out, it would plainly have been no problem, so while their presence may be benign or maybe not benign, whatever their agenda is has little to do with the way we overpopulate and trash the planet. They just watch and let us go at it.

It occurs to me that if I were part of a truly ancient race that occupies many planets in our galaxy, I would find the humans to be a source of entertainment in a sort of distant, somewhat amusing, slightly disgusting way, and if it was our intention of continuing to live in this solar system as we have for untold years, then a point would have to come where the humans had to be stopped from further wreckage.

Merely thoughts before bed. Goodnight.

Screaming obscenities at the telephone does no good at all unless it provides some sort of pent up frustration relief for some people but all it does for me is remind me that I would have made a really great serial killer in another life and wish I wasn’t too old to start over.

In the mail this morning was a large envelope with about ten sheets of paper all laid out on both sides with little boxes and notations by each little box of what was required to be written in each little box. On both sides of all the sheets of paper. Yes.  Then there were 12 more pages with instructions in Urdu, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese and Chinese hieroglyphs, Spanish, Korean, Russian, Arabic and so on and so on.

On the first page, at the bottom of the first page, on the right, it says “Easy ways to give us your form and proof”, and the Easy Ways are Online, By mail, By phone, In person. So the easiest being By phone, since I ALREADY submitted the entire thing a week ago Online, I called the number listed and after listening to several minutes of what they are, what they do and the options available, I was told to Press 1, and I did, was told to wait, so I waited, and finally a young lady speaks to me and after going through an Identification process to verify my case number and the fact of my existence, I was told that I should not have Pressed 1, she can’t help me, I have to hang up and call again and NOT press 1, and wait for instructions because she can’t transfer the call.

So I did and listened to several minutes of a recorded voice, was invited to Press 1 but did NOT press 1, and waited. After awhile a young lady who sounded just like the last young lady came on who told me to Wait for a Worker to talk to me. So I waited and a voice came on that said I was being connected to a Worker, and I waited and a voice came on that said All the Workers are working and no Worker is available and I will have to call back later and then I heard a dial tone.

As a survivor of 3 fire evacuations in the past 8 years, I understand. When the evacuation order comes, you go and you go quickly, and hopefully by that time you’ve already gathered your pets into pet carriers and loaded all your most important papers and treasures into your car or whatever. So then all you have to do is load the pets, lock the house and leave.

The photos and videos coming out of the Spokane area right now look like visits to Hell. This is a massive fire driven by high winds across a city packed with coniferous trees that burn like kerosene torches.

The only way this fire will stop is when it runs out of fuel or the wind stops, and the wind won’t stop as long as the fire burns because it creates it’s own wind. There’s too many trees and too much wind.

In another week people will be returning to pick through the ashes of what used to be their homes, hoping to find some forgotten, treasured object or anything to salvage, just to feel that they haven’t suffered a total loss. Most won’t have fire insurance, because it’s very expensive and most carriers won’t insure in high fire danger areas anyway.

Spokane is an historic port city, when the Alaska gold rush started in the 1800’s, Spokane was the starting point where the treasure seekers gathered, to learn as much as they could of conditions in the far North and to finish stocking up on supplies and gear before heading north. This fire is burning down a city that matters.
