Good analysis on US election from GB.

I used to think voting was all important. Not so much today. I feel we’re being herded into one or the other pen such as sheep where we do our little duty of marks on a page. We are released and life goes on just as though nothing happened other than a few parties for the winning parties. But we’re still in deep sh—!

This guy explains many conspiracy theories around the local hurricane.

Many lies have been spread by Americans regarding the response to Hurricane Helene. Here are the facts:1. National Guard and Active Duty soldiers and Airmen...

Once upon a time there were three little pigs. They were afraid of a big bad wolf named Orange Hair so they decided to outsmart him. One decided the heck with it, he would just join the others and be part of the fearful bunch because he himself was too fearful of Orange Hair and his sheep, especially those who aren’t white. The second decided to join with the one who became the other side’s leader without a single vote. She herself had locked up lots of young Black Hairs when she was a leader on the other side of the huge land of fearful people. She promised to fight the guy with the orange hair by challenging him. But she didn’t know exactly how. So she changed her mind daily. Her cackling laugh made all of her followers joyful and they laughed with her despite the suffering around them. The last little pig searched around and around for someone who had better ideas than the other two whom the newspapers and television and social media largely reported about, guessing which one of the two would appeal to the fearful better.

This little pig decided to align herself with a third choice. She was Jill, whom Jack loved very much after he broke his crown. Jill said that she would now work for the planet, people and peace. While the other two were getting billions to build up fear among the sheep. She even got arrested for siding with children and parents being killed across the ocean. She reminded her followers that they had to be strong in hope and realize they had nothing to fear but fear itself.

So which pig made the decision that could give everyone another chance to save the world? That’s up to you to decide.

Encouragement for the journey by Chris Hedges

The fossil fuel industry, and the politician class they own, have no intention of halting the ecocide. As the climate crisis worsens, so do the laws and security measures to keep us in bo***ge.

If the trees could talk, which I hear they often do,
We’d hear stories of ferocious storms and love for centuries beneath their branches.

If the rivers could talk, which I hear they often do, I’d hear stories of their raging waters and the tadpoles nourished in their peaceful shallows.

If the winds could talk, and I know they often do, when I hear their great stories of power and their whispering breezes on hot summer days.

If the rains could speak, and thank heavens they do, I’d heard stories of their cruel floods and their drips on my thirsty tongue.

Today slow down and really listen to our neighbors, including those who sometimes blow off some steam —- listen to their stories as they too Rest In Peace at last.

From Pasckie Pascua:

There is a gadget called "fiber internet." I am sure the city's calamity rescue unit (if there's such a thing) knows about this gadget or implement. We are using it and sharing it to neighbors. My housemate has been sharing it with others in town as well. The government could easily set one up in strategic areas so people can communicate per their needs. I mean, I am stunned by the government's inaction. We drove around yesterday. Street electric wires are still knotted on fallen trees, unattended. I only saw one group cutting some in one area but the houseowner paid that service. Not a government worker. I saw kids helping mom and grandpas move big trees out of their yard. I haven't seen such government inaction and ineptitude on calamity time. And I worked, volunteered and covered disasters in the Philippines, India and Japan. But this is America. I am shocked and frustrated. Joe just sent troops to the Middle East so no troops here to help people? New $8 billion to Ukraine's lost war and no oxygen tanks and water bottles to people right here, right now?

Up to foot of rain forecast south and west of Asheville. Just like blizzard on way here. Ton of moisture.

I’m getting a kick out of The Regime on Prime. When the US comes a courting this authoritarian Central European country with promises of membership in NATO and the EU, the chancellor Kate Winslet won’t budge. A humorous look at international relations will remind you to laugh as you see similarities of what real life these days. And of course, the bogey man is China.

The Final Solution called for the extermination of all of Europe’s millions of Jews and millions more people the N***s considered subhuman. The plan for General Nuclear War that Rubel and his colleagues signed off on—the SIOP—called for the mass extermination of some 600 million Russians, Chinese, Poles, Czechs, Austrians, Yugoslavians, Hungarians, Romanians, Albanians, Bulgarians, Latvians, Estonians, Lithuanians, Finns, Swedes, Indians, Afghans, Japanese, and others whom US defense scientists calculated would be caught in the crosswinds.

The Final Solution was enacted. The SIOP never has been—not so far. But a similar, still-classified plan exists today. Over the years, its name has changed. It is now simply the Operational Plan (OPLAN).

For my Iowa friends, lots about Offutt in this article.

We rarely consider the dangers these days, but our existence depends on it.
