Corporate power and greed have had much to do with driving our global population to the level of over 8 billion people now, with the constant exhorting to Grow, Grow, Grow. The more people there are, the more goods can be produced and sold and the more money the corporations make to hire more people to make more good that they and everyone else buys. It’s an endless process that grows like a cancer does, mindlessly with no end in sight except the death of the patient.

In this case, the patient is civilization. It’s obvious that this can’t continue without eventually running out of resources. Everything is finite.

Corporations now control governments instead of the other way around, and the corporations themselves are silently joining together to form Mega corporations. Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia and Google are good examples of such conglomerations, which now control between them about $11 Trillion in assets and all four are Leftist. They’re anti-free speech and seek to control what people think, say and do.

The Main Stream Media does the same, and appear to be run by one primary source, since virtually all of them parrot each other word for word in their primary talking points.

The governments of the USA, Europe and China all place ever-shrinking bounds on what is considered free speech and people are being imprisoned for speaking outside those bounds. Clearly, governments and the corporations are merging or have merged in the steady consolidation of global power over the common people.

So the question is: Which is the dominant force, Corporatism or Globalism? The Globalists intend to greatly reduce the human population to a more manageable level to prevent the collapse of civilization while the Corporatists want the population to expand forever, thinking that they can rein it in if they ever have to. This latter is in grave doubt as the more of us there are, the less controllable we are and we see the proof of this growing daily. All you have to do is read the news.

My personal choice is that the Globalists hold sway, because the world of Soylent Green is a nightmare. With a much reduced population, poverty and hunger should end along with the mass extinction going on right now of so many species as we swarm over their habitats with more living spaces for us.

But I have no prediction here on which side wins. That we will have a single, Global Government looks pretty certain. Exactly what its governing philosophy will be is still unknown.

With this latest massive barrage of missiles at Israel from Iran, the Age of Ayatollahs has ensured it’s own demise. No one in the Middle East or anywhere else wants a terroristic Islamic regime to take over and this attack from them sets Israel free to utterly blitz the Iranian war machine.

Iran has little in terms of an air force or army. What the Ayatollah dictator has invested in is ballistic missiles, drones, the efforts to build nuclear weapons and their navy, at home, with the bulk of their oil profits going to fund Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis. The 3H Club of terrorism aimed at Israel.

Now Hamas is rendered almost completely ineffective, Hezbollah is about to be next and Iran is attacking Israel in an effort to distract and divert them from Hezbollah. In doing so, they opened the way for Israel to directly attack Iran and inflict severe damage, without being condemned for doing so.

One way this can play out is that when Israel prepares to attack Iran, the US will issue statements that they want Israel to stand down, or if the attack has begun they’ll issue statements that Israel has to stop. But it’s just propaganda because the US will be giving Israel valuable support in their attack.

Because it’s not Iran that the US wants to protect, it’s the oil business. As long as the Ayatollah was selling the oil and keeping things calm, everyone was happy except Israel because the money was being used to fund the terrorists, but now that the Islamic fanatics are hell-bent on all-out war, it’s all different because this will disrupt the oil production more, the more the fighting spreads. Iran’s threat to mine and close the Strait of Hormuz still stands.

Israel wants that oil to keep flowing too, as they have a major refinery on the Caribbean coast and an oil pipeline from there to the Red Sea Gulf of Aqaba.

Iran’s Ayatollah may be expecting Israel’s other Islamic enemies to join in the attack, and he may simply be accepting the sacrifice of a lot of damage in exchange for a large enough distraction of Israel that would allow Hezbollah and whoever else to defeat them. Since he’s now gone into hiding, he plainly expects a major attack, and the rest just logically follows.

The problem with this is obvious. The Israelis are clearly one hell of a lot smarter than that old Muslim and his terrorist cabal. The fact that they’ve already done so much damage to Iran’s proxies should make that clear.

I think we’re going to finally see the end of this misbegotten attempt at making Iran the new Islamic capitol of the Middle East, very soon, along with the dismantling of their A-Bomb making efforts. There’s interesting days ahead.

It just happens far too often to be racism, when the same type of event keeps occurring involving the same race.

Looking through the news this morning, I first came across an interview between a white man and a white-hating black woman, and he was asking her her views on what was wrong with white people and she had plenty of nasty bile to spew out in response. She isn’t the first black person I’ve heard openly express their hatred of white people simply for being white.

Being racist is not necessarily a wrong attitude. It depends on whether it’s hateful or just realistic, because there are plenty of racial differences between us all, and the one I’m talking about here is the tendency of blacks to act without thinking of future consequences. So many of them only seem able to deal with Right Now, and what they want or are doing Right Now. Blacks generally lack impulse control.

For example, this article appeared in the news this morning about a 12 year old girl who was fighting with her 8 year old cousin over an Iphone, so while the 8 year old was sleeping, the older one smothered her to death and took the phone. I thought, they must be black, and they are.

Blacks of almost any age from very young on up engage in senseless, selfish acts of violence without any thought to what might happen later. In this case, the 12 year old girl is charged as an adult with first degree murder. For an Iphone. Blacks commit over 90% of all violent crime in the USA and most of it is impulsive. This is a racial trait. Yes, people of other races do these things too, but when 12% of a population does 90% percent of them, you take notice.

The people of Central and South America are generally more violent than whites and Orientals, that is, Asians like the Chinese and Japanese, who tend to be more methodical and industrious than other races. The Japanese have the highest I.Q.s, the bushmen of Australia and Africa have the lowest I.Q.s.

My point in writing this is that racial differences are real and talking about them is not racist. Hating a race is racist, but even then, being abused by people of a different race because of your race is good reason to develop a hatred for those people or at least a negative attitude, a racist attitude.

None of us are pure and we all have our reasons for the way we feel, including that black woman who was being interviewed about her hatred of whites. Whether those reasons are valid or not is not the issue here. What is, is that racial differences are a fact of life and we should stop pretending they’re not.

Was just looking at the close-up, on site pics of the buildings destroyed by Israel of the Hezbollah headquarters area and you could just about run what’s left through a flour sifter. Israel says Hezbollah’s top commander, Hassan Nasrallah, was present when they bombed the area into oblivion, and there’s no sign of life now in the pile of sand and dust that remains.

The word is that he was there with a lot of other terrorist schemers when the bombs hit and there is now nothing whatever coming out from anyone in Hezbollah, no orders, no comments, nothing.

The jokers in Iran are claiming that he survived and is alive, but denial is their stock in trade and I doubt anyone is buying a word of it. With the pager and walkie-talkie explosions, all the dead and sorely damaged users of them, all the hits on all the rocket launchers, all the destruction of all the rockets stored away, Hezbollah has been hugely degraded over this past week and I now expect Israel to move in with a ground campaign with air support to force either the surrender of Hezbollah or the actual government of Lebanon to take back their country, or preferably both.

France is having fits over this, Lebanon used to be basically a French colony, and they still have big investments there they don’t want getting bombed, so they’re screaming for a cease-fire. The problem is that Hezbollah, just like Hamas, moved munitions and operations into a lot of public buildings, homes and apartment buildings, and Israel is destroying them. It’s a little late for the French to complain, they should have stopped that, themselves, instead of letting the terrorism against Israel build and grow.

Right now I think Israel is definitely going to do a ground invasion to push Hezbollah back behind the Litani River, which is the boundary they’d agreed to stay behind in a peace accord that they then ignored. Only this time, Lebanon is going to lose more territory because Israel will push them further back than before and make it permanent this time.

The government of Iran is a pack of cowards, they’re riding a dying horse because the people have realized how much better off they were with Shah Reza Pahlavi than the religious fanatics they traded him for, who keep committing mass executions of dissidents. But being fanatics, they may just try to attack Israel full on, once they see their surrogates of Hamas and Hezbollah rendered impotent that they poured many billions of dollars into.

Remember that Iran is an enemy of most of the Mid-Eastern states and ultimately the US will have to take a side against them because we’re allied with Saudi Arabia and friendly, if not allied, with the OPEC states. This would happen if war breaks out between Iran and Israel, because the Saudis would seize the opportunity to help smash their worst enemy if their chances of winning looked good enough, and the US would support them against Iran.

Everyone knows that sooner or later, Iran has to be stopped from becoming the nuclear armed bully they want to be, and I see that day coming the more Israel hammers Iran’s proxies into the dirt.

My blood pressure is creeping up, especially since I gained a few pounds and I’m now at Stage 2 hypertension for high blood pressure. That’s when you become vulnerable to heart attacks and strokes, so now I’m going to have to stop enjoying life so much and start losing weight instead. I’m not a large person to begin with so losing 7 or 8 pounds would make a big difference and bring things back down to a tolerable range.

The recommended ways of lowering blood pressure are exercise and diet. I don’t smoke or drink alcohol, so those aren’t a problem, it’s the exercise part.

The problem I have with that is being 85 years old now and not the high-energy person of my very active youth, so the easiest way for me to lose weight is to eat a lot less and take vitamins to make sure I’m still getting enough nutrition to stay healthy, and the problem with THAT is that I do enjoy eating good food.

But if I want to at least live to 90, and I do, then suffer I must. That’s the problem with staying alive, there’s always new reasons why we have to work at it.

They might be done trying to whack Trump before the election but I doubt it, simply because they’ve put so much effort into killing him, why stop trying now? They might be getting tired of using “contractors”, though, because these efforts not only keep failing, they keep exposing the puppet masters. For instance, there’s some interesting revelations coming out about Ryan Routh, the latest failed assassin, his travels, his weapons inventory. Just like Thomas Crooks, things don’t add up.

One thing that strikes me is all the openly hostile commentary coming out of the mouths of Congressmen, anywhere from “He should be eliminated”, “something must be done about him”, right down to the nitty gritty, straight up, “he should be killed”. Then, after all this mostly illegal rhetoric, golly gee, someone actually tried to kill him, we should tone down our rhetoric, we’re rousing up the lunatics.

No, they’re making excuses in advance of the planned assassination attempts. They’re gulling the public into expecting these attacks and believing they’re by lone nutjobs.

But if they’re going to get the job done right, they may have to bring in the true professionals, no matter how bad it looks. This can’t bother them too much, look at the blatant way they stole the election, closing down the counting in the wee hours of morning, something absolutely unheard of that was never done before, and then opening back up again with a massive vote shift in favor of the guy no one wanted. If they’d do that and get away with it, and they did, they might just simply hit him with a missile or drop a bomb on him from a drone, and worry about the fallout later.

After all, the goal is to get rid of him. They’d rather keep the public outrage to a minimum, but they’re getting away with everything else they do, all they need is a good diversion after the fact, and they really don’t even need that.

Nope, I think trying to finesse his death may be a lost cause that’s about to give way to brute force. If necessary they can just murder all the witnesses, afterward. Time will tell, and there’s not much time left.

Thousands of the latest model of pager have just exploded simultaneously in Lebanon and Syria, all of which were owned exclusively by Hezbollah members, shortly after an assassination attempt by Hezbollah on a former top Israeli security official was thwarted by the Shin Bet Israeli security force.

There are hundreds, possibly a thousand injuries, many of them very serious and some of them critical. The Iranian envoy in Lebanon was hurt and at least one death is reported. A review of tech sites commenting on this shows general agreement that the tiny batteries in these pagers could not have generated the explosions, that this is a “supply chain” attack wherein the explosives and circuit modifications necessary to detonate them would have been inserted prior to delivery to Hezbollah for distribution.

No proof has been offered that Israel was behind this, but every possible finger is being pointed at them as the most likely culprit.

This puts Hezbollah in a serious bind. Now they have no pagers. They’re already afraid to use cell phones, so their ability to maintain communication with each other and coordinate attacks is severely compromised, and will be for some time yet. They’ll have to get new pagers, and they’ll have to open every one of them to make sure they’re not rigged, and what if they explode upon opening? That would be a logical move.

It’s one thing to terrorize people by shooting rockets at them. It’s another thing entirely to terrorize them by exploding their most trusted devices, that they rely upon more than any other, and cause them great harm. This is true terror, this is creating paranoia that strikes deep into the heart, all those who have suffered from these blasts and survived will fear to ever put a pager or any other comm device next to their head again and they’d be right to do so.

This would make me not want to be a member of Hezbollah anymore. The injured certainly have an excuse to bow out. There’s a video up of a man in a marketplace with a heavy looking bag on a strap, hanging by his right hip. BANG, the pager blows up, the bag blows apart, pieces of paper fly through the air and the man falls down and lays there, screaming and screaming.

Now imagine you’re holding your pager in your hand when it does that. You won’t own that hand anymore.

This was a master stroke and it may not stop those in Lebanon from continuing to scheme on ways to harm Israel, but it should sure give them pause because now they know that nothing is safe. Anything they do to communicate with each other is probably compromised, could possibly kill them. No wonder the Israelis are so confident of winning a war against them.

The ladder:

A ladder was placed at the back of the building that the young wanna-be assassin used to climb on top of it to shoot Pres. Trump. Before he was shot and killed, the ladder disappeared. The story is that he bought a ladder at Home Depot the day before, so if that’s true, then we know who put that ladder there. but we don’t know who took it away. What’s certain is that it was placed there for his use and then removed, because some local police tried to see on top of the building while he was still there, and there was no way to climb up. The ladder was gone, and he was still up there.

The Snakes:

Someone is hissing secrets. Trumps golfing outing was a last-minute decision, but it wasn’t long before another wanna-be assassin, Ryan Routh, was hiding in the bushes waiting for a chance to shoot him. Who tipped him off?

Who shot at Routh first? The Secret Service did but missed and they also shot Thomas Crooks, the chump who was on the roof, or so we’re told, though I’m long past taking anything from the media or government at their word. But if this is true, and the Secret Service has a record of loyalty to the job, then it does look like the snakes are Homeland Security and the FBI.

I keep saying that they’re going to kill him, not that I want them to, I certainly don’t, but the Leftists themselves keep saying “kill him”, in those words. How can we not take them seriously? This latest attempt was by another obvious amateur, just like the last guy was. He had a scope but it wasn’t mounted on his rifle, maybe he just used it for identifying his target but he was 300-500 yards away from Trump and hitting a target with open sights at that distance would be an incredible feat for the best of marksmen. He fired four shots, all missed hitting anyone and I figure he took the chance to shoot then because it didn’t look like he would be able to get any closer.

Both of these efforts to shoot Trump reek of connivance. They didn’t act alone, they both had outside help. They both appear to be acting on their own but clearly are not, and my conclusion is that they’re being drawn from a long FBI list of radicals and fanatics scattered across the country. Using a local nutjob makes it look a lot more spontaneous than if they have to bring people in from far off. Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby are great examples of exactly this.

I doubt Mr. Routh has much longer to live. Certainly no interview of him has been made public and I’ll be amazed if one is allowed because he’s not going to be trusted to keep to the script that he acted alone.

The question now is, what will they try next to eliminate Donald Trump? A bomb? A car crash? Poison? I don’t think they’re done trying and they have only a few months left to do it in.

Again, Putin is waving ICBMs around in an effort to frighten away the threat of getting rewarded for his behavior, as the Biden People (a new breed of semi-human I recently discovered and named) are about to give the okay to Ukraine to start lobbing their US-made long range missiles deep into Russia.

Putin wails that This Isn’t Fair, that only he should be able to use missiles like that, against Ukraine and of course anyone else he wants to blow up, and bluffs that if Ukraine sends NATO’s missiles into Russia, that means that it’s WAR, Eleanor, against all of NATO.

Please excuse my lighthearted take on all this, it’s just that he’s been threatening the world with nukes ever since his 3 day excursion into Ukraine turned into an endless and horribly costly battle for him, and the boy has cried wolf way too many times now.

Of course, the simple reality is that when you invade a nation that has allies, those allies have every right to defend their ally. That’s how it works. When you bomb that nation, they get to bomb you. It doesn’t matter where they get their bombs from, you can’t whine that “It isn’t fair because they didn’t have those bombs” when you invaded. They have them now and they get to use them, and if you even start trotting out your nuke launchers, they will be seen on satellite and bad things will happen very suddenly.

About those satellites, Putin isn’t going to actually use any nukes, he knows better, what he’s threatening to do instead is cut the transatlantic cables that carry Internet traffic. Did I mention Elon Musk’s Starlink system that now has over 6000 Internet satellites in low Earth orbit? No doubt cutting the cables will create some temporary interruptions in Internet traffic, while further enriching Mr. Musk with new subscribers.

Putin is using missiles to attack Ukraine instead of bombers because his bombers got blown out of the sky with the NATO anti-aircraft systems provided to Ukraine and Russia really doesn’t have so many aircraft that they can afford to use up attacking Ukraine with. That’s why it’s all missiles and ground attacks.

The anti-Ukraine propaganda centers mostly around the Nazi invasion in WW2 that drove out the Russian Communists from Ukraine, who were destroying the country. The Germans were seen as heroes for good reason and if some Ukrainians still see the Germans as being better than the Russians today, who could blame them? There are degrees of evil, and how you see them depends on how you were affected.

The US and their NATO allies are happy to keep escalating this war, as the profits from munitions manufacturing keep soaring, while all the damage and deaths happen far away, much of it to a nation that needs a major regime change.

Putin’s alliance with China will be the end of Russia as an independent nation. Once Russia is so weakened that Putin calls on Xi to help him, and he will, the Chinese army hordes will sweep in and never leave and there will be nothing he can do about it.

Remember Globalism? This is about Globalism. The planet is being divided up, between East and West. The next logical step in arriving at a global government is to reduce the number of nations to two. Like the two hemispheres of our brain, these two will find a beneficial balance. I know this because they already have. If you’re not sure about that, where was almost everything in your home made? Where were your clothes made? Your kid’s toys?

There’s only one Constant in life, and that’s Change.
