At the Risk of Revolution

. . . good citizens of Russia, this is your moment. Will you continue as subservient serfs under the yoke of oligarch oppression, or will you show the same true strength of character that your great grandmothers did 1905, and risk a revolution that could once again change Russia forever?

The Curious Case of Unaccounted Corpses

Could it be that the CDC is simply that incompetent, and there is plenty of evidence to support that conjecture. Another possible explanation is that they double counted people who died with COVID, which they have already confessed to commingling with those having died from COVID. There is no way the government ever comes clean on this and the medical profession did such a fowl job reporting deaths because hospitals collected $40k each time they reported a COVID death and doctors collected $9k per COVID death. What we can do, however, is count caskets and funerals and by those numbers, there were 445,670 unaccounted for corpses in 2020. Where are they? I mean you don’t just misplace that many corpses. . . unless, they never existed in the first place?

We see the same thing happening now with a small band of courageous Canadian truckers.

Emmett’s Fix-It Shop: It’s Time to Wake the Woke

It is no longer moral for environmentalist to consume smart technology without acknowledging their complicity in the human suffering and the harmful degradation of mother earth they cause. It is no longer ethical to believe that owning a Prius or Tesla is a symbol of your commitment to saving the planet. It is no longer righteous to pretend you are not responsible for China’s exploitation of slave labor and their toxic pollution of the planet. It is no longer possible to hide behind your hypocrisy as mother earth continues to moan and cry out for healing solutions. It is no longer permissible to turn a blind eye to the devastation you cause. It is time to wake the woke.

Missile Crisis 2.0

Most Americans incorrectly assume that the The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, started when the Soviet Union (i.e, Russia) attempted to place nuclear weapons in Cuba. While that is perhaps the short answer to a very complex problem from an American perspective, what triggered the Russian aggression was the United States deploying nuclear missiles in Turkey and Italy, that were within striking distance of the Soviet Union.
