Open Letter to US Senator Joe Manchin

TO: The Honorable Senator Joseph Manchin III (D), West Virginia RE: Your recent comments at Davos. Sir: Rather than write your office in WV or DC, I choose to use a Canadian-based platform, even though I’m an American resident-citizen. (My mother’s closest ancestors were Canadians, though.) In the past, I’ve sent letters to other US House and Senate politicians and their responses were boilerplate tomes generated by low-level staff, offering information unrelated to my query. Not that I expect any special treatment. Since I’m not a donor to anyone’s political campaign, nor ever plan to be.

Where is America’s next Abraham Lincoln?

In 2024, America will re-unite. Or, it will further decline. In 2016, the nation wanted Presidential candor and got it from Trump. His style triggered a partisan rancor from half the population, most academics, all the federal bureaucracies, many high-tech industries, most media outlets, as well as virtually all Democrat pols, plus several pols in Trump’s own Party. The barrage of hatred was aimed to destroy a perceived interloper into national politics.

The Requisite Trilogy for Totalitarianism 

America is leaning toward totalitarianism.  Three factors are moving us is that direction. The first is a corrupt central government that promotes a political agenda that perverts the rule of law and disregards the historical precedence of America's founding documents.  Lincoln's "government of the people, by the people, and for the people" has been replacing the word "people" with "government politicians and their donors".

Sovereign Debt Default & the Black Swan

-- The graph above and its significance can be found below in a video starting at the 2:00 mark.   No war in history has been more closely followed on the web than Ukraine v. Russia. Among YouTube war sites, none has focused as much on the war's global economic consequences than the "Joe Blogs" posts.  "Joe Blogs is a British YouTube channel with over 219.00K subscribers. It started 2 years ago and has 613 uploaded videos." 

SBF in the New Year

The saga of Sam Bankman-Fried will likely be the major domestic news topic of 2024. The liberal media will portray Sam as a sad victim of his own naiveté. A young man who thought he was genuinely doing a good deed. Altruistic and not self-serving. Surrounded by equally naïve young associates. At least two have admitted their guilt.

Education + Propaganda = Tyranny

A teacher at Jackson Memorial Middle School in Massillon, Ohio told the school principal that she refused to use students' preferred pronouns.  She said it violated her religion, and she was forced to resign last August 26. (Source) Attorneys representing Vivian Geraghty filed a lawsuit against the school's principle, two district officials, and the Board of Education.

Just another D.C. distraction

The recent release of nearly 13,000 documents from the U.S. National Archives concerning the Kennedy Assassination is another coordinated government distraction. The major detractors are the Democratic Party’s political regime and their sycophantic liberal media. It’s a nothingburger. So, what did we learn from this recent document dump?

Will American Pols return FTX money stolen from the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan

Here’s why the title question is relevant: “On Thursday, the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan — which administers defined benefit pensions for school teachers in Ontario — revealed that they had invested $95 million into troubled cryptocurrency exchange FTX. (Yahoo, Nov.14, 2022)

The difference between hard and soft complicity

(Top Left) On October 18, 1945, twenty-two military, political and economic leaders during the Nazi rule of Germany were tried in Nuremberg.  This was just one of several trials, but this was the best known. Of the defendants, 12 were executed, 3 sentenced to life in prison, 4 faced prison sentences of 10-20 years, and 3 were acquitted.   (Top Right) Seventy-nine years ago, on February 2, 1943, 105,000 German, Italian and Romanian soldiers who surrendered at Stalingrad were marched into captivity. Less than 6,000 return home in 1955.   I ask: There is a difference between hard and soft complicity, but can there be a difference without a consequential distinction?  

How the 2024 POTUS election could include a Spoiler 

Donald Trump's effort to recapture the U.S. Presidency is likely to fail.   If Trump is nominated to represent the GOP in the 2024 General Election, he'll face two opponents;

1. The DNC candidate;
2. A 'third party' politician, who will guarantee the election of the Democrat candidate. 

History confirms that a serious third-party candidate need not represent an established constituency.  

Why Elon Musk might pass on buying twitter

Twitter is a trojan horse with not near as many soldiers inside as it purports to have. Don’t be shocked if Elon Musk decides not to buy it. Full disclosure: A few years ago, I signed up to tweet. But when I refused to provide my phone number – I already get at least six spam calls a day – the big bird ditched me. I shed no tears. But when Elon Musk got in the queue to buy twitter, I signed up, provided the necessary information, and used the name my parents gave me.

The CCP's Un-Restricted Asymmetrical War on America & the West

Absence an admission of intent, the best explanation for a seriously disruptive event – between individuals and nations – is sought in its subsequent consequences.  The release of Covid-19 from the Wuhan Institute of Virology was likely intentional, as an act of unrestricted warfare aimed at America specifically, and the West in general.

The long cascade of federal government hype

By the end of World War II, the continuous cascade of federal-government, political slogans were well established.   Back in 1840, it was "Tippecanoe and Tyler too."  In 1912, Wilson's presidential campaign slogan was "The New Freedom".

When Democrats cared about small businesses

Note: Since November 26, 2020, this author has posted several articles on this site that compare the tactics used by the German Third Reich to attain and maintain power with those deployed by today's American Democratic Party, with the same purpose in mind. Clues to understanding current events can often be found in the past. The Rittenhouse trial in Kenosha, Wisconsin refreshed our memories of what happened in multiple Democrat-run cities as mobs looted and burned small businesses, and attacked innocent civilians.  

Aussie Investigative Reporter Eclipses GOP Covid Committee

A recently-released book by Sharri Markson, a widely-heralded investigative reporter in Australia, surpasses the findings of a House Republican Committee tasked by GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to investigate the origins of the Covid-19 global pandemic.  The GOP's "China task force" included: Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas, who led the effort; Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.); Jim Banks (R-Ind.); Andy Barr (R-Ky.); John Curtis (R-Utah); Anthony Gonzalez (R-Ohio); Darin LaHood (R-Ill.); Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.); John Joyce (R-Pa.); Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.); Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.); Denver Riggleman (R-Va.); Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.); Chris Stewart (R-Utah); and Michael Waltz (R-Fla.). Dated September 20, 2021, the Committee's "FINAL REPORT" was entitled "THE ORIGINS OF THE COVID-19 GLOBAL PANDEMIC, INCLUDING THE ROLES OF THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY AND THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION".

Will America awake from Comfortably Numb?

Hello? Is there anybody in there?  Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone at home?... Okay, just a little pinprick There'll be no more But you may feel a little sick Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good That'll keep you going through the show Come on, it's time to go… When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look, but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown, the dream is gone And I have become comfortably numb (Excerpts from Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb, Live in Pompeii 2016, YouTube, 118,441,965 views)

America's Public School Sausage Factories

Public K-12 education in America is failing.  Not marginally, but miserably Particularly in the Big Blue Cities. Public Schools are the legacy of the John Dewey (1859-1962) inspired educational sausage factories.  Grinding out graduates with the impersonal regularity of Jimmy Dean.  Dewey was raised by a strict Calvinist fundamentalist Christian mother. Late in life, he declared himself an agnostic socialist.  It surprised few. 

Global Elites Flirt with Post-modern Neo-Marxism

"The Great Reset is the name of the 50th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), held in June 2020. It brought together high-profile business and political leaders, convened by Charles, Prince of Wales and the WEF with the theme of rebuilding society and the economy in a sustainable way following the COVID-19 pandemic."

Democrats and the Asphalt Plantation

Next August will be the tenth anniversary of an article entitled "Obama and the Asphalt Plantation" that posted elsewhere on August 23, 2012.  That 1,400-word piece is condensed below. After reading it, ask yourself: How much has changed since then?  (Moynihan's words are in italics, all others are those of the writer, then and now.)

Progressive culture is destroying America

To the progressive ideologue mindstate, American is a template that awaits enhanced development based on equality of outcome, prideful tribal identity, and the benevolent oversight of an enlightened class of intellectual bureaucrats.   It is the class of elites, in and out of government, who intellectually and intuitively know what's best for We The People.  None dare call them tyrannical, for they have only the best interests of We The People in mind.  To facilitate that, the ruling class deigns to provide The People with the basic necessities of life – sustenance, shelter, health care, and government-designed education.  Cradle to grave.
