The Scary Truth of the Russia Ukraine War

And You Thought Biden Just Makes This Stuff Up

Now chances are if you're a mainstream media or Public Broadcasting buff, you have no clue what this comedy skit is referring to. But for those of you who actually do witness Biden at his worst, take a second look:

Chances Are...

I'm just guessing about this, but chances are if you are a mainstream media or Public Broadcasting junkie, you haven't a clue what this skit about Bidenomics is about. Ignorance is bliss.

By the way, my spell checker still flags "Bidenomics" despite the fact that "Sleepy Joe" and his sidekick Kamala brag about it in public.

Tulsi Gabbard - Veteran - November 2023 Interview

I just came across a comment that Tulsi Gabbard had left the Hawaii National Guard to join the Army Reserves and is now a Lieutenant Colonel, a step up from her rank of Major during the 2020 Presidential campaign.

Then I came across a very tasteful recent interview from a veteran's perspective where she speaks of her political philosophy. It is being suggested that she might be Trump's pick for Vice President now that she has departed from the Democrats. She seems now to have a strong Libertarian perspective which aligns with the new Republican perspective. She doesn't seem to be MAGA yet, however.

Here's the interview:

LTC TULSI GABBARD (ARMY, OIF VETERAN

This site gives a link offering a download of a nearly hour and a half long podcast of the interview.

As much as I respect and admire Tulsi and her Libertarian perspective, I was a severe critic of her during her 2020 campaign both here and in comments to her YouTube channel. She was sharply disrespectful and critical of the Commander and Chief of the US military, President Trump, and she was just plain wrong in my view about his presidency. To top it off she - as a Democrat - endorsed Biden.

Has she matured since then? I think so.

Can I trust her now? As much as I am tempted, no I can't.

If she became Vice President, I would spend a lot of time with my fingers crossed hoping beyond hope that she is as real as she comes across as being. But back in 2020 I was close to 100% convinced that she was CIA. Hawaii is a very strange state.

My First Car Wreck

A very long time ago when I was still too young to drive, I was a country boy living about three miles from town. I was the youngest of my dad's two families with two half-brothers, three half-sisters, and a brother two years older than me. I was born an uncle to several nieces and nephews since my dad was sixty years old at the time of my birth. He retired when I was just five years old so for the most part he was always around, either relaxing in his easy chair watching TV on the old Capehart console black-and-white TV/radio/phono and looking out the living room picture window at one of the finest hillside views in Maine, property that came into the family in the late 1800's shortly after his birth, or doing any of a million chores country people tend to always need to tend to.

Between our house and the town airport was a patch of land originally taken from my dad by the town for the airport but abandoned for years when the airport's third runway was dropped from development. Atop the hill at the airport level was a rectangular field which at one time was a rich hay field. My dad was a farmer in his day but the farm ended when the land was taken for the airport.

My brother took an interest in cars when I was right around twelve years old. His first car, acquired before he had a driver's license, was a 1948 Pontiac fastback 4-door sedan with 2-tone green paint, a flathead straight-8 engine with a hydramatic transmission, and to top it off, a visor over the windshield.

Here are a couple of YouTube videos of Pontiacs of this vintage:

1948 Pontiac Silver Streak 4 door Straight 8

1948 Pontiac streamliner silver streak, Now available with hydra-matic automatic

The car ran well but was a real dog, a lazy dog, but using that car, my brother and I and a few friends managed to carve out a single-lane oval race track in that rectangular field. The straightaways were long enough to speed up to 25 or 30 miles per hour before reaching sharp right-angle turns. One of our favorite tricks was on rainy days we would get up enough speed on the straightaways to skid the car around the turns. In one of the turns we dug such a deep trench in the mud that even to this day the depression and associated mud "bank" remains, 60-plus years later.

One summer day after a dry spell my friend Roger who lived on a farm on the other side of the airport was riding shotgun with me when I, not willing to wait any longer for rainy weather, decided I was going to make that car skid on dry land. Racing down the back stretch at top speed I started into my skid when the car stubbed its toe on something, rolled over ever so slowly, and came to rest on its roof.

Roger and I were unhurt and managed to get out of the car but a little while later we climbed back in. There was a strong smell of gasoline inside the car. We noticed that the dome light was on, and Roger thought it shouldn't be on so he used the heel of his boot to kick the light to break it and make it go out before it maybe started a fire. Well, I still remember seeing the spark that made, the spark that ignited the gasoline fumes inside the car, and I remember making our escape through one of the back doors. I exited first and remember guiding Roger out. I was unhurt but he managed to singe his eyebrows and I think may have had some minor burns on his face. Still, we considered ourselves lucky all things considered.

My brother and Roger and I watched the car burn to a crisp, gas tank first, then the interior, then the tires. The last fire to go out was the hydramatic transmission which burned for hours. Our dad was not very happy about all this, but he didn't stop us so the next thing we did was to take his 1940 Ford dump truck, and using a cable we were able to repeatedly snap that cable tight and tear the entire body off the frame. We hauled the body to the dump, but we towed the frame back to the barn where my brother painstakingly replaced the burned ignition wires and tires, refilled the hydramatic using pitch black drain oil, propped up the steering column, and attached a seat cushion getting the old car frame running again and back on the track.

I even have a memory of fitting a back seat cushion onto the frame and along with a couple of friends driving the thing on the airport runway!

Seriously, it should be against the law for kids to be allowed to have this much fun! Oh, right, it no doubt was. We just didn't get caught.

Drones Reshape the War in Ukraine

For some time now I have wondered if new drone technology would start to dominate the Ukraine war leading to entirely unanticipated results.

This has now started happening, evolving, even dominating the battlefield according to this YouTube video:

Ukraine frontline: The killer drones changing warfare

How will this evolve now? What will this battlefield look like a year from now, two years from now?

And what will be the eventual blowback from all this impersonal killing?

Flu Vaccine or Vaccine Flu?

Anyone who spends any time reading this journal should know by now that I am a conspiracy theory junkie. Conspiracy theories must trigger dopamine in my brain or something. I don't fall for just any conspiracy theory, though. A good conspiracy theory must not only make good sense, but it must also further the interests of the "deep state", the secret government, and it must have a covert psychological effect on humanity. Otherwise, people would soon get wise to the conspiracy.

Decades ago, it was made clear to me that the human race was being programmed to believe that the world was seriously overpopulated and despite the fact that there was no moral solution to the problem, something needed to happen or else. I can't imagine any college student not being exposed to this line of reasoning, especially not students of the social arts.

Yet despite all the concern, everything "they" tried - mainly wars, contraceptives, and abortion - failed. The world population continued and continues to rise.

In my own thinking, whatever the solutions "they" come up with - because of the basic immorality of government-sanctioned population reduction - must be covert, hidden, kept secret when it is implemented.

Global warming is a good example. At its core, global warming claims that the resources needed for a large world population will seriously impact or even destroy the planet. Whether that fear is true doesn't matter. Humanity needs to die off.

And because we all share the fear of overpopulation, we all accept the global warming premise. Our greatest fear is those people on earth who do not believe the global warming claim.

A few years ago - and it has become clear that this very well might have happened by design - the world became terrorized by disease, specifically by Covid-19. Fear gripped us. We were all told that our only hope was the vaccines. Nature was conspiring to reduce the world's overpopulation and if we wanted to escape that fate, we had to not only accept the vaccination but demand that everybody in our society do the same thing. We accepted the vaccines in an atmosphere of fear and paranoia.

Despite the fact that it soon became apparent that the vaccines weren't living up to the promise, fear demanded that we stay the course.

Meanwhile large numbers of people realized the falsity of the claims. The original virus didn't come from some remote bat cave by way of China's disgusting open "wet" food markets. It was much more likely that it was engineered in bioweapons research laboratories, and either was accidentally or more likely deliberately released into the world population.

Then came the miracle mRNA vaccines - miracle according to the deep state at least. "Safe and effective" is what "they" all told us despite the falsity of those claims, and our fear, our paranoia, drove us to accept what "they" claimed. We all get vaxed or else we all will die is what we believed. That was the narrative that we all used to justify our paranoia, our sudden fear of people.

What's strange is that because of the overpopulation claim that we all believed, we already feared people, so Covid paranoia came natural for us. We wanted to fear people and Covid gave us a great excuse to do so.

Then the truth started seeping out.

Yesterday a story surfaced that adds even more claim to the notion that this Covid thing is a conspiracy:

MUST WATCH: Unpublished Project Veritas Recording Reveals Pfizer Scientist Confirming the Risk of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines — Claims Side Effects of These Vaccines are “Very Sneaky”

The vaccine manufacturers knew about the harm the vaccines would do but counted on the public to police their own minds to ignore the danger because of our paranoia.

Now in my mind this all seems perfectly obvious to me. This all happened to us and is continuing to happen because our fear of death has us all blind to reality.

But my mind just can't stop there. It was mentioned in this article that mRNA vaccines had been around for ten years before they were ever used in an actual vaccine. Somehow, I just seriously doubt that claim. I suspect that every year's new flu strains came from the annual flu shots. It was engineered in secret to be that way.

Every year huge numbers of people got flu shots and yet the flu not only spread but got worse. It got so bad that when Covid-19 finally did catch hold, we all just assumed that this year's flu was worse than anything that came before. Most of us just denied that this first round of Covid was anything other than the worst flu yet.

But suppose "they" wanted to use a pandemic to reduce the world population, so "they" engineered the annual flu shot to spread Covid. I mean, that makes sense to me. We surely wouldn't suspect anything. We trust "them". "They" blame it all on nature, "they" fill us so full of fear that "they" have us convinced that the process by which "they" were spreading the new Covid viruses would actually save us, and Voila!

Population reduction leaving no trace of human engineering!

Guaranteed evolution of the pandemic.

Guaranteed profits from vaccine production.

And guaranteed death - a blueprint for the future.

Another Peek into Eastern Ukraine

There's a YouTube channel from Patrick Lancaster that focuses on revealing to the Western and especially American public what it is like in areas of eastern Ukraine under attack by forces of the Ukraine government. I was just watching today's release and there's a section midway through where he and his helpers work their way through to what used to be a small city of four or five thousand but now has fewer than fifty residents.

Looking around, it is obvious why the Ukraine army can't get enough shells to keep their arsenals stocked. This town is destroyed! Patrick Lancaster has covered Ukrainian shelling of civilian areas since long before the Russian army moved in. This video is well worth watching - something you will never get from western-biased media. Take the time to watch the interviews. More than one of them are intimately revealing about how Russian people are seeing this war.

Maine Aspires to be the Abortion/Trans Capitol of the Nation

Maine's LD227, the trans and abortion child kidnapping bill currently being considered in the hallowed halls of Augusta, has caught the attention of conservative states. How on earth could it not!

GOP AGs Threaten Maine Over “totalitarian” Child Sex-Change Bill

My take on this, besides the inherent immorality of the whole thing reflecting Maine's leftist-dominated government, is that if this legislation passes and if this kind of kidnapping becomes legal, other states will certainly counter by protecting the kidnapping of Maine kids by states wishing to protect American children from abuse by Maine liberals.

According to JP

Newsweek Conspires with Biden Admin

Google News this morning had a link to a Newsweek article concerning a fact check about whether or not a claim that Biden halted border wall construction was true.

Concerning an order given by Biden on his first day in office:

Fact check: Biden executive order halts border wall construction, redirects funding

So yes indeed he did. No question about it.

So what's this Newsweek Factcheck about? Hard to say exactly but access to this article may be restricted:

Sure looks like some serious gaslighting to me. Are our memories that short? Could it be even remotely possible that Americans have already forgotten what Biden did and what has resulted from his action?

First Orgasm Cosmology

Hey, I came across a news article - a "headline" - just today that reported on information first reported seven months ago concerning the notion that the universe might be 13 billion years older than its current estimated age of 13.7 billion years.

That caught my eye but I didn't click on the headline. What I did do instead a few hours later was to Google the notion that the universe might be double its age and I came up with this article on the phys.org website about this topic and came across a real surprise.

First, the link to the article:

New research puts age of universe at 26.7 billion years, nearly twice as old as previously believed

Zwicky's tired light theory

Mentioned in that article was Zwicky's tired light theory in the sense that if the defunct tired light theory is reborn, perhaps that could help explain why the universe could be much older than expected.

And I'm like, "What?!"

What's this tired light theory?

Well, it turns out the theory is something that my own simple mind imagined when I first heard about the redshift and the Big Bang but in all that time, I had never encountered anybody, any news article, or any book that discussed the theory despite that it has been around since 1929. Nobody ever talked about it in my life's experience so I just assumed I must have invented the theory. It was the same thing as my first orgasm. Nobody had ever talked about whatever that thing was!

So yeah, I'll have to keep an eye on this story. How can a disproven theory explain anything about reality? Or does the word "disproven" have an alternative definition in science that ordinary people don't know about? Or maybe does science owe us an apology? How about reparations?

The Alternative State of the Union from a Parallel Universe

Considering how muddy the political waters have become in America, especially as a result of Biden's NAZI-like speech this past Thursday, it is refreshing to see the alternative analysis of America by someone who would certainly win my vote in a Presidential election - a surprising figure most people who follow mainstream media wouldn't even recognize. He's a daily figure in my newsfeeds.

CEO, Douglas Macgregor State of the Union Response

Seriously?

Regarding Thursday evening's State of the Union address, I have noticed a couple of comments that claim there was no presidential seal on the podium where Biden stood giving his address.

Maybe someone can correct me on this, but wouldn't it be normal for that seal to be on the front of the podium during such a speech? Is it normal for the seal not to be on display during a State of the Union address?

I did just go looking for confirmation about this claim and sure enough, the podium doesn't have the presidential seal on it. See for yourself:

Tears, jeers and other behind-the-scenes moments of President Biden’s State of The Union address — PHOTOS

Now I'm no different than any other guy in that I'm usually wrong when I jump to conclusions about something like this. Maybe it's just normal decorum for the House not to recognize the seal during a State of the Union address. That doesn't seem likely, but maybe so. I should look back and see if the seal was on the podium when Trump was President and Pelosi was in charge of the House. And if not, how about before that since Pelosi obviously officially held President Trump in disdain. Maybe she set the precedent?

What gives?

Ah! Coverage of the 2018 address has no seal on the podium with Trump speaking with a Republican controlled House. So my knee-jerk reaction was false.

Hmmm, 2014, Obama, Republican House - no seal on the podium

2008, Bush Jr. President, Pelosi House, no seal on the podium

1998, Clinton, no seal on the podium

1984, Reagan, Gingrich (Republican) House, no seal on the podium

So much for that theory I guess. What gives?

Consensus on Last Night's State of the Union Address

Normally an overwhelming consensus on anything political here in America would refer to a consensus among mainstream media outlets. Today, though, there seems to be a major consensus among independent conservative outlets concerning President Biden's speech last night. Here are some samples:

Paul Joseph Watson

Summing up Bidens State of the Union

I also saw Candice Owens on an independent talk show chiming in on the consensus that basically Biden's speech was the darkest Presidential speech ever and there is a consensus that his mood resulted from the cocktail of drugs that were used on Biden to rev him up. An unfortunate side effect of this cocktail is that it triggers Biden's anger. The speech - what I saw of it anyway - reminded me of an angry Adolph Hitler yelling to a crowd who react over and over again with praise.

I wonder if anybody else noticed what these people noticed?

President Biden's Memory Gaslighting

The Gateway Pundit this morning headlined several significant ongoing stories.

There's the Seth Rich FBI stonewalling story,

There are three stories about the Supreme Court hearing arguments from Colorado's attempt to ban Trump from the 2024 primary ballot. Kavanaugh has a say and so does Thomas and Gorsuch.

There are several articles about Tucker Carlson's newly released two-hour interview with Putin and several stories based on that interview - Tucker's reflections, talk about Biden's mistake to weaponize the dollar, a hint of humor regarding Tucker and the CIA, there's who blew up Nord Stream, and there's AI and Elon Musk.

There's a story about new J6 footage of an unknown man climbing a scaffolding outside the capitol firing two rounds from a pistol.

A busy news day!

But then there's the entire mainstream media's gaslighting of Biden's mishandling of classified documents, something that Biden's DOJ has been actively attacking Donald Trump for doing.

Isn't it ironic that the entire mainstream media is gaslighting the public into believing this mishandling of classified material is due to Biden's aging memory! As if Biden's mental state of mind has anything at all to do with it! Unless they are trying to point out that Biden's memory is too far gone for America to trust her future to his good judgment. But that's not what they are doing. If anything, they are saying Biden shouldn't be held accountable because of his old age and poor memory while Trump should be because of his mental acuity. But that doesn't work, does it. That is a self defeating argument.

No, what they are doing is making excuses for Biden's crimes fully expecting that Americans will have no memory of today's news when they vote in November.

Timothy Leary's Dead - and Remembered

I certainly don't wish to be responsible for anybody's bad trip, but I have to admit, of all my life's memories it's the acid trips that seemed to have the greatest impact on my life. I can't imagine what my life would have been had I not experienced LSD in my early 20's. They started spiking it with something in the 70's and I never trusted it again - strychnine or something worrisome. It was about that time that I met the Lord in the religious sense and there hasn't been LSD in my life since. And I don't want to give the impression that I did acid a lot because I didn't. I just experienced it and it had a huge impact on me and on my life.

That said, I just spent about the past hour or so on my inversion table enjoying this seriously entertaining and informative documentary on the Timothy Leary LSD phenomenon. Not sure it would appeal to younger people or to people my age who were among the "straight" set, but it's a trip through nostalgia for folks like myself.

Timothy Leary's Last Trip

Imagine this, YouTube used its algorithms to bring this flic to my attention. I didn't even search for it.

Racism - A New Twist

Well here's a twist, a new way of looking at the problem of racism. It would seem that if you have light skin color then it is important to be racist against those with darker skin color because if you don't make that distinction then you deprive darker skinned people of the experience of racism which, I guess, is crucial to their social development or something.

White boy, good luck trying not to be racist:

Mandatory DEI Seminar at U. Wisconsin Law School Teaches Students ‘There are no Exceptional White People’

I suppose in some way this makes sense. I mean, if you are "Black", how can you expect to experience the "Black" experience if the "Whites" around you don't appear to discriminate against you?

Malpsychia, Modern Narcissism, and Timothy Leary

A new word in my vocabulary is "malpsychia" which, according to my spell checker, is not even a word. Googling the word leads me to the same conclusion even though the word is used in the title of a book that I found in a thrift store and am currently reading.

The book, written by Joyce Milton copywrite 2002 is titled The Road to Malpsychia: Humanistic Psychology and Our Discontents. It is listed on Amazon and the comments alone on Amazon seem to be worth reading.

My first impression is that the book wasn't well received by the infamous "them" who judge everything we encounter in life, but I am finding the book rather insightful. My impression is that the book focuses on the movement begun in the 1960's and embraced by the psychedelic movement, especially the LSD movement and the LSD guru Timothy Leary, a subject the author professes firsthand knowledge of.

Generally speaking, the book seems to focus on how these humanistic movements, despite their initial popularity and embrace by major educational circles, devolve into mayhem. What I find most fascinating, though, is that the book seems to study the very trend that I see happening in today's world, as if the craziness of today in things like critical race theory and transgenderism derive somehow from the LSD experience. They fit the category of the nonexistent word "malpsychia".

The book on Amazon:

The Road to Malpsychia: Humanistic Psychology and Our Discontents

Again, browse the comments.

A Timothy Leary speech spoken at UCLA in 1967, I believe only months after the Playboy Magazine article about him that I remember from my teenage years, might help remind you of who that guy was:

Timothy Leary speaking at UCLA 1/18/1967

Just before the three-minute mark, Leary appears to say he is about to drop acid. Whether or not that is true I leave to you, but if he in fact did, he should have reached peak during this speech. A typical acid trip lasts twelve hours.

Why is this no surprise? I seem to recall even predicting this:

A few weeks have passed since the Chabad tunnel scandal broke headlines, and all questions about it are being called “antisemitic”

CO-2 From the Other Side

"CO2 , The Gas of Life"-Dr. William Happer

J. Alex Halderman

 J. Alex Halderman, a specialist in computer security and the security of voting machines, was recently in the news concerning something he did in a Georgia courtroom with a Dominion voting machine. I tried to verify that story in more mainline news outlets but didn't find anything. I Googled the name "Halderman" in Google News but nothing recent came up. For some strange reason a seemingly overabundance of obituaries showed up.

Here's a video that will help you understand who this man is:

Science in the Service of Democracy | J. Alex Halderman

The Gateway Pundit article dated today, January 24, 2024, claims a Georgia woman named Amber Connor witnessed the event and commented on it.

Anyway, I'll be keeping my eyes open for more on this but based on what this man said in the YouTube video linked above, I can believe what the Gateway Pundit is reporting.

The Problem with "Science"

Anybody who has been following my blog here has probably noticed that I have a longstanding problem with respecting "science".

As a child of the 60's in America the act of replacing the cultural norms of Christianity with the corrupting influence of modern liberal scientific theory dominated every aspect of society and with the advent of marijuana and psychedelics, that battle was won by the liberals. Christianity had to basically reboot itself after the 60's.

In time, all this cultural pressure has faded to the extent that I and many like myself wonder where all these questionable ideas about alternative cultural norms came from and in particular how narcissism became so unquestioningly and covertly central to American culture.

One of the sources was a book published in 1928 written by a young anthropologist named Margaret Mead.

Coming of Age in Samoa: A Psychological Study of Primitive Youth for Western Civilisation

One of the book's reviewers - read the comments by those giving the book a rating of one - on Amazon had this to say about this book which has been highly praised and deeply respected by "science":

In the unpaginated `Preface [to the] 1973 Edition', Margaret Mead stresses that her description of Samoan moeurs should be read as applying to conditions at the time of her research. She finds it needful to `shout' that advice because during her 1971 brief visit to Samoa, `young critics even asked me when am I going to revise this book and look unbelieving and angry when I say that to revise it is impossible'.

This is a reference to an abrasive session with students who told her that her description of fa'aSamoa (Samoan custom) was false and insulting. They were miffed by her styling Samoans `primitives' and her pronouncement that since anthropologists enjoy an `immense superiority', they can `master the fundamental structure' [of primitive society] . . . `in a few months' (p. 8). In keeping with this arrogance, Samoans attending university were told by their instructors that their experience of fa'aSamoa was not valid evidence against Mead's scientific study. And, as we've just seen, Mead refused to revise her book even when she knew that it is mistaken in many particulars.

For Samoans this patronizing manner was the familiar voice of the papalagi (the colonial power). Mead's hosts on her field trip, aware that she enjoyed the protection of the Pacific Fleet admiral and Boss of American Samoa, went to great lengths to provide reliable information. When they learned of what they call her luma fai tele (`shameless defamaton'), they could not comprehend how she could have betrayed their hospitality. They were also aggrieved that she deceived them about her marital status. For she accepted the title taupou (ceremonial virgin) although as a married woman she was ineligible. Then she disgraced the title by carrying on with Aviata, a young man regarded as a rake.

While Samoans long knew the mendacity of this book, its correction in academic circles commenced only with the 1983 publication of Derek Freeman's Margaret Mead and Samoa: The Making and Unmaking of an Anthropological Myth (Harvard University Press). That event shook anthropology to its boots. Such was Mead's prestige that the popular mind identified her with anthropology. If her credibility was seriously questioned in respect to the most widely believed anthropological study ever published, the credibility of the profession was at risk. That is why Freeman was attacked with great ferocity, even by those who agreed with his critique.

Freeman's book initiated a reappraisal of Coming of Age in Samoa. Martin Orans and Freeman have recently published studies of her Samoa investigations based on her field notes. They confirm that Mead's account of Samoan sexual moeurs is a travesty. But they go beyond that. Mead recorded the accounts given by her informants, but by ignoring key facts, twisting others, and inventing still others, she contrived to represent Samoa as a free love duck pond. She also misrepresented the research she carried out. She was funded to conduct a study of adolescent girls; and she states that she spent `six months accumulating an intimate and detailed knowledge of all adolescent girls in the community'. Her field notes tell otherwise. She devoted her time to assembling ethnography; the funded study never got off the ground. She states that she conducted `all' her interviews with these girls in the Samoan language (`I spoke their language and ate their food'). Orans found however that her information on adolescent girls came from `English-speaking informants using English to communicate'. He notes that `no conversations in Samoan are recorded in any of the field materials'. This is consistent with Freeman's finding that the study of adolescent girls was not conducted at all.

Mead built her picture of free love by tossing off unsupported one-liners. The `inept lover is a laughing stock'. There are `no neurotic pictures, no frigidity' in Samoa. Masturbation `is a universal habit'. Homosexual activity is `very prevalent' and is regarded as `simply play'. `[Samoan] girls' minds were perplexed by no conflicts . . . [to have as] many lovers as possible and then to marry . . . these were uniform and satisfying ambitions'. The field materials do not show that Mead collected any evidence whatever about masturbation, homosexuality, or incidence of neuroticism and frigidity. She had but one informant about intimate sexual moeurs--an eighteen year old school teacher. In 1981 that person told Freeman that he had an affair with Margaret. Thus Samoa's alleged free love amounts to no more than a loose wife's gullibility to the pillow talk of her teenage lover. Such is the `science' that made this book famous.

Research on Mead's field notes clarifies a feature of this book that has puzzled many readers. It is the drastic and repeated inconsistency between Mead's descriptions of Samoan vigilance of virginity and punishments of straying girls, and the attribution of a casual attitude toward sexuality. What we now can see is that Mead patched her free love pillow talk into descriptions given to her by her adult informants.

How is that anthropologists for so long were taken in by a popular book? One part of the answer is that many weren't taken in. The controversy brought to light numerous statements to this effect. Thus Weston LaBarre wrote: "When I was a graduate student in anthropology at Yale in the late '30's, Mead's Sex and Temperament came out. Puzzled that even a big island like New Guinea should have had three tribes waiting to be discovered to prove her point about the non-biological nature of gender, I went to Edward Sapir with my puzzlement. He said laconically, `She's a pathological liar'. I was startled as much by what he said, as by the fact that an eminent anthropologist and chairman of a department should say this to a mere graduate student. But over the years, I have come to believe that this is literally the case." The next round in the evaluation of Mead's anthropology, we may hope, will collect and critically assess this largely unpublished expert opinion.

75% Chance - Say What?

Jimmy Dore is making more and more sense these days, which is saying a lot for a liberal. Liberals tend to passionately defend the consensus. Not this guy!

Finally My Race Question Is Answered!

For my entire adult life I have had to wonder whenever I write about Black people whether I should use a capital letter when I speak of the White (or white) race.

But now somebody has finally answered that question! If you are referring to race, you don't capitalize the "w" in White. No exceptions. But God forbid if you fail to capitalize the "B" in black or brown.

Racist Delta Airlines Sends Memo to Employees Asking Them to Capitalize “Black” & “Brown” but Write “White” in Lowercase – Format Follows Far-Left Associated Press Guidelines

Now I'm all confused. Do I or don't I? Am I or am I not racist? Why is equality forbidden by those who claim not to be racist?

Oh and by the way, what are "Brown" people? Do I just have a failing memory or did "Brown" people come into existence long after I was taught about the races? They taught me about red people and yellow people and white people and black. Now you never hear about red or yellow people but there's this mysterious catchall called "Brown" which may or may not include American Indians, real Indians, probably not Asians because apparently it's still OK for EVERYBODY to be racist against them, but "Brown" may or may not apply to Jews and Arabs and Spaniards and God knows who else? And it's White people who are the only racists?

Is it any wonder that authoritarian-imposed racial norms confuse me?

Palestine Existed - Don't Believe the Lies

I know the world has a love/hate relationship with Wikipedia, but sometimes it just seems to me that it makes sense to use it as a reference.

In recent years I have heard the claim that Palestine never existed. I even have a vague memory of Rush Limbaugh making that claim on his conservative radio talk show. I may even have more recently heard a similar claim from Fox News's Sean Hannity. Recently a Christian guest of ours made the same claim, that there never was such a place as Palestine and that the idea of Palestinians was (I hate to say this, but something akin to) a lie.

So it might surprise some people that the name Palestine actually does have a long history. It wasn't something - in a historical sense - just recently concocted by Zionists or by their opponents.

Check out this amazing reference in Wikipedia:

Timeline of the name Palestine

Freaked Out!

This just freaks me right out. Just have a look at the pictures in this article. The story itself makes absolutely zero sense to me, like it explains anything at all...

Extremist Jewish teens secretly ‘hired migrants’ to dig covert Brooklyn synagogue tunnel ‘Shawshank’-style

I have a tendency to imagine that this story will quickly just vanish from "news", sort of like the "dancing Israelis" story did.

January 6 - The Real Threat

We've all heard the U.S. government and mainstream media propaganda about what happened in Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021, two weeks before Democrats took control of the White House.

Are you ready for the truth?

Here's What Really Happened on January 6th

So, if you watched that video and the question comes to mind about what it is that government finds so threatening about Donald Trump and other Libertarian-minded individuals, consider this:

Bret Weinstein Exposes the World Health Organization’s Dark Agenda

Bear in mind that the core issue is the commonly held concept that the world's population is unsustainable, threatening the future of the rich and powerful elite who intend to survive the government mandated solution, depopulation.
