As the manipulation becomes so f'ing obvious, amplified and outrageous 
over time, it first insults, then frustrates, then angers me.
I'm at that last point now. It's hard to even look at any "news" now, 
regardless of the source.

I'm better off with indie/jazz/classical music and some youtube videos 
of other like-minded people discussing geopolitics and the economy. It 
makes me feel like I live in a world where I can sit at a table and talk
 with reasonable people.

Most people I know now want to talk about things that are so pedestrian 
(like getting drunk or stupid TV) that I honestly can't deal with it. In
 the meantime, Boston University develops a Covid strain that is deadly 
enough to kill 80% of the mice. No one asks why Eco Health Alliance is 
funding it or why these people aren't swinging from ropes for crimes 
against humanity. Then I wonder if people are mentally ill, drinking, 
gambling, cheating and maxing out credit cards because they know this 
too and can't deal with it. China is about to move in on Taiwan, Russia 
threatens to nuke us, gunboats in Haiti, China reselling Russian oil to 
Europe...it's all a bit too much as WalMart rolls out the Christmas 
merchandise and the Fed openly calls for mass unemployment.

I'm very much with you there, but sometimes wonder if it's just another form
of trap.

I would think that the lack of unbiased new sources would be a big business
opportunity. Maybe the free market really is broken. Maybe there are so few
of us who want to hear the straight story and decide for ourselves, as you
say, "...because they know this too...", and there is no hope for recovery
during the current generations.

I have long suspected that we are not headed for a cliff, but have already
shot over the edge and are now hanging in mid-air like Wile E. Coyote before
plunging to the canyon floor far below.

If you are over the cliff and never look down, you don't fall.
By that logic, if we simply redefine what a woman is, women have penises
 and if we redefine inflation and recession, the good times are rolling 
like a desert tumbleweed.  If it takes a village, the school decides if
your kid is a boy or a girl  and can issue puberty blockers without your
consent. If you object, the  school calls CPS. Why are suicide, heart
inflammation and cancer rates up so high? How  many kicks does it take
to get to the center of an abandoned school's  ballot stuffing
operation? Ask Woodsy Owl. If dead people are "looking down at us" from
on high, I wonder if they  can't see the despair through the trees. The
globalists have taken over the UK. I think the quickening is upon us 
now. Will they bring back Covid? What happens the day after the midterm 
election? I wonder if Biden will still be emptying out gas reserves?

There's a war on disinformation. The real information is endorsed by 
people pushing for open borders but the call the national guard when a 
few illegals appear in their neighborhood. They push for alternative 
energy which doesn't exist at sustainable levels and for a pick-your-
gender society in which every word and facial reflex is an attack on 
another person's mental well-being. The earth is a field of eggshells. 
Volodymyr Zelenskyy poses in his army tee shirt and flexes his biceps 
for the cameras. 

BPA is a synthetic estrogen. It can damage fetuses, alter brains and 
brain chemistry and cause genital abnormalities. It lines the cans of 
beverages and is in our food. We know this is true, so WHY continue to 
use BPA or as consumers, buy the products?

They/Them
Drag queen story time
Convicted pedophiles in clown makeup in the schools given access to the 
children
Schools assigning gender and handing out puberty blockers
How does all this affect the Military Industrial Complex, which seems to
 embrace it? Sometimes it seems like we are lead by our noses into an
abyss. 

When i was at the supermarket checkout, I saw AOC on the cover of GQ. 
She's a working class hero.

Thanks Papa, I'm trying. 

Here's some good information for this morning:

I love how we are about the hear that the third quarter in row is in 
decline, yet officials are "predicting" a recession in a year. The 
drowning man is predicting that he may get wet in the next month.

1000% chance the diesel fuel runs out shortly after the election is 
stolen.
Government fuel reserves shut off. Pipelines closed. Drilling contracts 
canceled. Refineries shuttered. 

Sabre rattling against China and Russia will translate into no goods, no
 raw materials, no fuel. In the meantime, type "refinery fire" in your 
favorite search engine.  It's almost like this stuff has been
engineered! Remember the food processing plant fires from the summer? It
all must be a coincidence because gosh, the stock market is red hot  and
unemployment is 3.5% ha ha ha If people aren't stacking cans of
vegetables, they are crazy. I was at  the local BJ's warehouse and the
prices were outrageous. I wanted to  grab some loose ends. Coconut oil
used to be $6, now $11. Coffee, rice,  cooking oil, frozen chicken, etc.
all high prices. Plus lots of empty  spaces on the shelves - especially
in the frozen food area. I think  people are catching on.

Being a retro video game junkie, I have to reference an excellent 1990
Irem game called "Hammering Harry". Also, Mario used to hammer to smash
barrels. Can't touch this. 

"Pumpkin spice denial" ~ LOL yes!!! Brenda and Karen really have no idea
do they? I think they will be the ones hit hardest by inconvenience. 
Right now the iPhone factory in China with it's 200,000 workers are in
Covid lockdown. Brenda won't get her iphone 14. Maybe she can put a
phone case on her iphone 12 and no one will notice? You can assume Karen
will look at the camera configuration on back and make a quick
judgement.

Brenda and Karen are already upside down in their McMansions and their
husbands Chad and Ken are about to get cut from Deloitte and Goldman
Sachs. 

It's too late in my career to become a tow truck driver but I am
considering it as a plan b. Either that or office clerk at the local
Public Storage units. Need to think ahead! 

I wonder if Karen and Brenda know that cell phone tower backup batteries
only last for 4 hours once the power is cut. Maybe Verizon can send out
diesel generators. Oh wait.

Few noticed that the radio on Gilligan's Island was originally a 
Magnavox Celestial FM-97 but later switched to a Packard Bell 8RT2 8 
Transistor AM Radio.

If you wanted to put a radio in your go bag, i would recommend a Sony 
SRF-M70. You can get them on ebay for dirt, dirty cheap. They are 
rugged, waterproof and have digital tuning that you can store. 
Another great radio which is actually my favorite for AM DXing is the 
Sony SRF-39. I had one when they first came out in the late 80's and 
later bought one on ebay circa 2010? The best signal of any handheld 
radio I've ever experienced. Plus you can actually take it apart and 
tweak the AM signal by scooting the wiring on the ferrite bar. A+ sound 
quality too and if you are going to splurge - there's a prison version 
that is see-thru. COOL! (Of course I have one in my stash)

Not exactly "announcement material" but supposedly grex is dying so who 
cares?
