Farming Practices, Food, and Food Shortages Caused by Inept Governments

I was watching in fascination a documentary about monastic farm practices in Tudor England.  A historian and two archeologists introduced the viewers and the visitors to farming methods, tools, food, clothing, and customs from 500 years ago by actually tilling the soil, planting crops, harvesting them, building tools from that period, cooking, burning crockery, churning butter, raising sheep, pigs, and chicken, hunting, fishing, and living, at least on screen, like the monks had done during the fifteenth century.

Advanced Cultural Marxist Society

Advanced Cultural Marxist SocietyWe already live in an advanced cultural Marxist society even though half of the country is still lulled in the false sense that we are still a Constitutional Republic. We have archived documents in museums that state that we are, but we have lost this Constitutional Republic bit by bit over the last 40 years to judicial activists on the bench, corrupt politicians elected by ignorant citizens, legal aliens, and illegal aliens who do not speak English nor know the history of the United States.

Legal Emigration and Illegal Immigration

A dangerous direction:  Throwing the borders wide-open to a massive influx of unvetted illegal immigrantsWhen I was growing up, most citizens living under the socialist republic were not allowed to visit abroad, immigrate, or emigrate. The borders were shut tightly, holding everyone inside like a giant maximum-security prison controlled by the Communist Party and its dear leader. The government had an anti-emigration policy, immigration was suppressed, and travel abroad was tightly controlled and only allowed to those who had a clean record, deemed so by the Communist Party who investigated a person's lineage, political activity, land ownership, real estate, and private property. Emigration, the actual moving and settling permanently in another country was highly discouraged and so was immigration, the temporary movement of people from one country to another.

“Democracy Has Gone To Your Head”

Democracy Has Gone To Your HeadModern politics have morphed into an all-out assault against our country and against its Constitution. If the Con-Con movement succeeds, the Constitutional Convention will be assembled to amend the Constitution to allegedly reign in the political corruption in Washington. The political class does not follow our Constitution as is, what makes one think that they will follow it with more amendments? And what will prevent a runaway convention in which delegates might replace our Constitution with their latest version?

What Human Capital Will We Have?

What Human Capital Will We Have?Human capital is defined by economists as the amount of skill found in the workforce. It is "measured" as the amount of education and training of everyone. Economists also talk about investment in human capital and human capital theory. Such a "theory" highlights the expenditures made to increase the productive capacity of various workers, either through education or training. The cost of education and training is usually borne by everyone, but some companies do pay their employees to invest in their own human capital and give them time off with or without pay. Investing in a person's ability to be more productive is important.

Energy, the Inept Socialist Way

Energy, the Inept Socialist WayThe sunshine and balmier weather is giving some American people a reprieve from having to use so much energy to heat their homes as prices escalate due to the draconian measures the Biden regime had adopted on his first day in office – executive orders that shut down the Keystone XL pipeline, off-shore drilling permits, and drilling on federal land. We had been an oil exporter during the Trump presidency, but we have become an oil importer from Russia during the Biden regime. This is not a good time to become dependent on such a bellicose country which is now helping escalate the price of gas and fuel around the world. Poor neighbors such as Romania have found themselves having to pay 450 euros for a month’s electric bill when the country’s average salary is 350 euros. How are poor people supposed to keep warm or find affordable fuel for their cars? Is an energy crisis looming?

American Citizenship Rights and Responsibilities Listed in a 1955 Brochure

American Citizenship Rights and Responsibilities One of the proud moments in my life was the day when I became a naturalized American citizen, following a long journey of four years which included tons of paperwork, interviews, expensive fees I could barely afford, and many trips to the Immigration office at a time when I was a mom, a wife, a daughter, and a student.

Rationing Electricity, A/C, and Heat

Rationing Electricity, A/C, and HeatA lot of humans have died from heat exposure, in freezing temperatures, in wilderness, in war trenches, frozen on Mt. Everest, marching in war convoys, marching to concentration camps, inside concentration camp barracks, in gulags in subzero temperatures, submerged in icy water, in crashes on mountain tops or jungles, hiking, mountain climbing, and in many other horrible conditions. Angel, a Jew sent to Auschwitz in Nazi Germany, witnessed an entire ward freeze to death overnight, without beds, heat, and food. She alone survived with an old man because she spent all night trying to warm him up, rubbing his hands, legs, face, and neck. When the sun came up, there was an eerie silence around them, they were surrounded by frozen corpses. Nobody should suffer such inhuman conditions.

Diet in Socialism or Capitalism

Diet in Socialism or CapitalismThanks to food additives, semi-prepared foods in grocery stores, lockdowns, a more sedentary life in front of a computer screen, larger portions of food in restaurants and burger joints, ever present sugar in every type of food consumed, and less daily walking than the average human, Americans have added more pounds to their frames.

Warm thoughts in a bitter, cold winter

Warm thoughts in a bitter, cold winterIt is bitter cold outside, it feels like 11 degrees Fahrenheit. The relentless Hawk is blowing arctic air, exacerbating the wind tunnel effect surrounding our house. Luckily, we are warm and cozy inside thanks to capitalism. When I was a kid growing up with my maternal grandparents, their tiny adobe style mud-brick winter house had two rooms, a barn for the animals, a tiny kitchen, and the hay loft for cats and mice. They never heated the big brick house because it required too much wood which they did not have. The communist farms had already deforested anything that could be cut down and used for wood.

The Walking Dead and Freedom

The Walking Dead and FreedomFor the past two years, I was dismayed at how many of my friends were watching and discussing on social media the series, 'The Walking Dead', and its companion, 'Fear the Walking Dead', two related shows about an apocalyptic world when Earth is struck by a mysterious virus originating from space.

Liberals Call Inflation Scaremongering

Liberals Call Inflation ScaremongeringInvest in inflation. It’s the only thing going up. Will Rogers The left is trying to justify the escalation of inflation as “Inflation isn’t inexorably a bad thing. In fact, it used to be considered good.” This is another overt attempt to habituate American consumers to soaring prices and to a new low standard of living and to shortages of food, goods, and services, a diminished quality of life.

Russia's Veto Saved the Fossil Fuels for Now

Russia's Veto Saved the Fossil Fuels for NowIn the 1980s, the environmentalists believed that using paper grocery bags harms the environment by excessive deforestation, so they moved in the direction of replacing the paper grocery bags with plastic ones. It made sense, plastic bags made from petroleum by-products were certainly cheaper and more plentiful. Fast forward to 2021, environmentalist governments in counties like Fairfax, Virginia, moved to replace the plastic bags with paper bags by charging a tax of 5 cents per plastic bag previously given free (included in the price because nothing is free). Furthermore, a fine of $500 will be levied on anyone who dares to leave grass and other yard clippings on curbside in plastic bags other than heavy paper bags.

First Snow of Winter 2022

First Snow of Winter 2022The silence of the falling, sticky snow is shattered by limbs creaking, crashing in the woods with a loud thud, a collective sigh of nature burdened by the heavy, pristine white blanket. The trees look like white giants with droopy arms dragging the ground. It is the first snow of winter and of 2022, eight inches accumulation so far, and still falling hard. The hawkish wind is blowing it sometimes sideways, drifting in sudden gusts a few inches that fail to remove any significant amount of snow, already stuck like glue to the ground and on all horizontal surfaces no matter how small.

Hopefully the Fog of Fear, Flu, and Fright will lift this year permanently, letting sun and the truth disinfect the falsehoods

Welcome to the first day of 2022, another ordinary day in nature – rain and fog, full of life and miraclesIt’s finally 2022 and humans are making resolutions for the New Year, leaving behind 2021, the year of Fright and Flu. A saturating rain is drenching the woods. The distant river is shrouded in a greyish fog, concealing the silhouetted trees with exposed skinny branches stretched to the sky but meeting half-way the low ceiling. The animals appear in hiding, save for a few chirping birds and the occasional sparrow.

My Christmas Tree

blue spruceAs long as I can remember, my Dad came home every December with a scraggly blue spruce, fragrant with the scent of winter, tiny icicles hanging from the branches. The frozen miniature crystal daggers would melt quickly on Mom’s well-scrubbed parquet floor. I never knew nor asked where he had found it, or how he could afford it. His modest salary of $70 a month barely covered the rent, utilities, and food. Mom had to work as well to afford our clothes. Prices were subsidized by the government and salaries were very low for everybody regardless of education and skill. We had to make do with very little.

Another Invented Injustice, EVs and Chargers

Another Invented Injustice, EVs and ChargersI believe that some Marxists stay awake at night trying to find novel ways to subjugate the rest of the population whose free market ideology they despise. They certainly do not believe in supply and demand, they believe in centralized communist planning and forced equity of outcomes. In addition to environmental justice, gender justice, sexual justice, gender justice, tree and shade justice, a recent Washington Post article dedicated an entire page to “A New Source of Inequality: Access to Charging Stations.” (Sunday, December 19, 2021)

Kill Switch in Your Cars in Five Years

Kill Switch in Your Cars in Five YearsSince 1992, billionaire globalists with money to burn, have been actively seeking to remove us from fossil fuel cars to save the planet from global warming/climate change/climate crisis Armageddon which U.N.’s Agenda 21/2030 has been actively seeking to do.

"Climate Crisis"

Climate CrisisThe latest push to "net zero" emissions by 2040 comes in the form of a book and a glossy insert advertising the said book in the Washington Post. Think of this "net zero" emissions as your ticket to more global warming taxation, cold winters in your homes, hot summers in your homes, expensive electricity, high fossil fuel prices, and total control of your movements and travel to and from work. In "Speed and Scale" author John Doerr proposes an "action plan for solving the climate crisis."

Communism Long Ago vs. American Communism Today

Communism Long Ago vs. American Communism TodayI was asked recently if the recent Marxist takeover of our country resembles my experience under the rule of the Communist Party Soviet-style regime decades ago. My simple answer is that Marxism is much worse today in so many ways. Take for instance one’s body. We used to teach our children to run away from strangers who attempted to touch them inappropriately and to let authorities know and their parents about such aggressors, some of whom may have been relatives. But the 9/11 terrorist attack on our country conveniently allowed the government to pass the Patriot Act to protect us from terrorists. Nobody blinks an eye anymore at the invasive searches at airports, touching personal parts, molesting grandmothers, toddlers, babies, and adults alike. If you ask the TSA personnel, some of whom look quite frightening, they save thousands of lives every day.
