Too Often, Google Fails Badly as a Search Engine: It Omits Inconvenient Information

All Too Often, Google Fails Badly. Why? All too often, a search in Google fails badly because it omits inconvenient information, that’s why. And it’s why you must question everything. Let me explain. Since the coming of the ‘information messiah’, Google, the very notion of seeking information, or even ‘the Truth’, has become immortalized as the new verbal imperative, “Google it”. You’re told that if you want to know about something, just go to Google or Google Chrome, or even some of the other search engines built on Google, such as Duck Duck Go, or even Brave. And you’re ‘sure’ …

Tony Blinken Rockin in the Free World: American Schizoid

Tony Blinken: Rockin in the Free World or American Schizoid Man? In Kiev, Ukraine, Tony Blinken sang the chorus to the iconic song by Neil Young from 1989. Only, he didn’t bother to sing the actual lyrics—a total indictment of everything Blinken stands for. There’s colors on the street Red, white, and blue People shuffling their feet People sleeping in their shoes There’s a warning sign on the road ahead There’s a lot of people saying we’d be better off dead Don’t feel like Satan, but I am to them So I try to forget it any way I can[Chorus] …

Seymour Hersh on Vladimir Putin’s Approval Rating and Resounding Victory: An Open Response Recently, renowned journalist, Seymour Hersh questioned Putin’s approval rating and poll results, which he posted in an article on his Substack.  I, as a free subscriber, received an email, which was truncated, since I don’t pay for a subscription.

Angry Uncle Sam. His plot failed again

5 Big Victories: Vladimir Putin Wins Landslide Election

Curses, Foiled Again! Western Attempts to Oust Vladimir Putin and Subjugate Russia Fail Again–Big Time! Well, it’s really teeth gnashing time, big time. Vladimir Putin wins in a landslide election. It’s Putin’s 5th election win.  And Uncle Sam, who’s been diligently trying to undermine the ‘evil dictator’ Vladimir Putin, has failed, with the Russian President re-elected yet again, and this time with an overwhelming 87% Yes vote, in a record 77% turnout. The Communist Party, which usually comes in second in Russian elections, scored only about 4%. The next best result was the New People’s Party, which scored slightly less. …

Many Toxic People: Remembering Victoria Nuland, AKA ‘Toria the Terrible’

On the Retirement of Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland Remembering Victoria Nuland   Washington DC has been called the Swamp. It looks to be filled with toxic people. Victoria Nuland first came into my consciousness with the notorious intercepted phone call with the US Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt in February, 2014. It was bad enough that she was planning a coup, which was obvious from the discussion of which puppet would run the country. But her crude remark overriding any sentiments of the EU—’ And you know, Fu(k the EU’, was so undiplomatic, to use a mild …

pervasive feeling of anxiety and panic among western leaders

Western Leaders, So Smug a Year Ago, Are Feeling Anxiety and Panic

Anxiety and Panic Have Seized the Formerly Smug Nato Western Elites Before I left the USA in 2004, I asked myself, “Is America redeemable?” And the answer I came up with, was ‘no’. While the Western leaders put on a brave face, in fact, they are increasingly anxious and panicking, as they lose control, not just of the situation but of the narrative as they pull the wool over the eyes of their people.   When Things Are Out of Control, Withdraw I was also introduced to Confucian basics in a little Zen group one day seminar. I was struck …

Is Trump the Answer: 18 Historical Facts about Trump

Here We Go Again Well, here we are again in another Presidential electoral circus. I so recall the horror that people felt about a possible Trump reelection. And why Biden represented the ‘sane alternative’ (presumably). As for Trump fans, if the record presented here suits you, I have nothing more to say. Now, many who foolishly voted for Biden, thinking he would be an improvement over Trump, think that Trump will be an improvement over Biden. Never mind Biden’s mental state, his numerous betrayals of the people (breaking railroad worker strikes, making student loan forgiveness a shadow of what’s needed, …
