“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act”.
My own mantra? “Truth above life”.

We blame our offspring because they refused to follow in our footsteps. In truth, they did try to follow us. Sad to have to admit that in our nuclear madness our generation took the whole planet over a cliff.

Washington is the second U.S. state to sanction the legal purchase of marijuana. The state hosts one of the most dangerous nuclear waste dump sites on the planet. The Columbia River will never recover from the toxic mess made at this infamous environmental disaster in progress.

I cannot find the passage in the Bible that says God saddled humans with “free will”. On the other hand I find lots of Biblical evidence to support the argument that the opposite is true. God is so intimately in charge of every aspect of my life that He counts the hairs remaining on my balding head. I believe that it would be profoundly disrespectful of me to assume that only my wholesome thoughts emanate from God.

Christians from many foreign lands have built a North American civilization that is the envy of the world in this age. Today, negative christian birth rates world wide mean trouble for us in the Blessed Land. Almost all new arrivals now come from other faiths.

The other day we came upon a teen demonstrating a working drone in the busy concourse of our local mall. It was obvious that if he made a joystick maneuvering error one of the three open propellers would cut somebody’s face off. Nobody seemed to care.

GE is said to be spinning off it’s Financial Sub, which is apparently the largest private U.S. credit card issuer. My guess? Unlimited credit card availability, even to the homeless, is funded by floating worthless sub-prime paper. When the chickens finally come home to roost, the banksters hive off their troubled business to unsuspecting retail victims who end up holding the bag.

Markets shudder every time U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen hints at an interest rate hike. Money has been almost free in the U.S. for years and her favorite bankers have levered themselves up to the tune of hundreds of trillions of dollars as a result. They are way past the ability to unwind their gluttonous positions, so any meaningful interest rate hike would bring their whole house of cards tumbling down.

For thirty years well-meaning environmentalists chained themselves across logging roads to rescue precious trees. They succeeded, but sadly, old unattended mature trees simply die and burn all on their own. Today we are unable to keep up with countless wildfires and forest fires as rotting rescued trees burn out of control.

I well remember when the rule was “Opposites Attract”. Judging by the attitudes and preferences of men and women of today, that rule seems to have gone by the wayside. Nuclear physicists tell us that they are pleased to see humans “adjusting” to rapidly increasing levels of background nuclear radiation.

Politicians everywhere are fussing about whether or not to buy pricey F-35 fighter jets from a U.S. manufacturer. My opinion? It’s not worth the frustration because the pot puffers and very masculine women who now run our western world cannot build sophisticated airplanes or anything else for that matter. The new fighters will never be delivered.

The gigantic rail disaster that wiped out the village of Lac Megantic in the Province of Quebec happened a year ago. I wondered how long it would take before I again saw a hundred exploding rail cars all strung together rolling down the rails. Now I have my answer. I counted a hundred trundling through downtown Winnipeg, Manitoba yesterday.

The words justice and judgment are used frequently in the Bible. To my way of thinking, justice connotes rule of law {freedom}, and judgment applies to a monarchy or to despotism {slavery}.

The Canadian Province of Ontario is not just morally bankrupt. It is financially bankrupt and beyond rescue. It was easy to predict the debt downgrade that followed hot on the heels of the Provincial election, just as it was a foregone conclusion that the least competent candidate would Wynne.

Who was Christ? Where did he sleep at night? He was homeless. He had no shoes. He had no church. He had no money and suggested that those who did should give it away. We don’t even know his surname.

The other night, as a “Super Moon” passed over the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan, a magnitude 6.8 earthquake occurred just offshore. A Super Moon is a full moon that comes close to the earth. The gravitational pull of the moon affects ocean tides and some believe that it can also cause earthquakes. The Japanese quake jogged my memory.

We all know that the weather is changing and not in favor of human survival. Storms are more frequent and more violent. Is residential construction adjusting to this new environment? Building practices are changing, but sadly heading in the wrong direction.

In my opinion, radiation that spread from the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster in the Ukraine will ultimately lead to the annihilation of all life in Central Europe. Since the accident, Europeans have witnessed the violent dissolution of the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. Most former Soviet States have degenerated into turmoil or total chaos.

I have written of the relentless unstoppable slide into tribalism now underway in our devolving modern world. Let me explain. Tribalism has been the norm throughout human history on our tiny planet. Most on earth today still live in countries struggling under the yoke of tribalism. Those of us in the developed world are but a tiny minority in the human family.

I’m so old that I can remember when tornados didn’t happen - ever. I can remember when hurricanes made news once in twenty years. Floods? There were no floods. When we wanted to travel we didn’t have to check to make sure the highways were passable. Rock slides, washouts, sinkholes, structural failures and other shoddy construction problems were unheard of.

GM has recalled more than 28 million cars recently and over time I think Toyota has topped that. Bad news? Why no. I believe that Toyota is number one in vehicle sales worldwide and GM is close behind at number two.

I know it’s all different now, but I come from an era and an area of the world where men really loved women and women felt the same way about men. Our problem wasn’t infertility. It was the opposite. Our love songs were real and mostly written by men madly in love with beautiful feminine women.

I believe that too many murders, mass atrocities and other violent crimes have their root causes in drug addiction. The public should not be forced to put up with the ongoing widespread media blackout that shields us from the truth about drug related crime.

Billy Clinton created America’s final housing boom by giving away free mortgages to the homeless. The U.S. economy might not ever recover from Clinton’s many fatal thrusts into raw financial greed. Voters love him for his sleazy genius. Canada never did play at this mortgage game, so the Canadian housing market has not collapsed as it did in the U.S. That's not to say that Canada is home free.

Canadian Federal Liberal Party Leader Justin Trudeau is so ordinary that he wouldn’t stand out in a Line Up of drug pushers, but no one should underestimate his prospects in his bid to be Canada’s next Prime Minister. Yes he is a former substitute teacher who has never had a full time job, but that would line him up beside the Social Worker who is now the President of the United States.

We dumped CNN from our list of favored TV channels a month ago, and it took until today to appreciate that it was gone. I checked, and the CNN talking heads have finally stopped drooling over Mr.Sterling, the NBA team owner who paid out billions of dollars to black athletes before they unceremoniously dumped him. I have never witnessed such unrelenting elder abuse as what CNN and its black allies poured out on this old codger.

President Obama is a Social Worker by trade. You can’t expect a Social Worker to know that huge corporations don’t try to go under until they are in deep deep do do. So the President laid a giant egg in Detroit when he “rescued” a turkey that had already expired.
