Freddy and Co.(Queen)and The Queen

https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/events/music-legends/queen/

It’s been a while since POM visited the Freddy Mercury/Queen mystery.  There were some comments that wondered if the whole thing wasn’t some “project.”  I don’t know, but I do find it a bit unusual to find this in the 2020 offerings at The Royal Mint.  All those British bands, and this it the only one with its own minted (official) coin.  I’m sure there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation, yet it eludes me.  Might need help with this one.queen_1oz_gold_proof_coin_in_case_left

What Keeps Montana’s Timber Industry Alive: Is it Socialism or Fascism?

Please note facsi on either side of the American flag. Fasci will remain for Trump’s State of the Union address.

In the not so recent past Montana’s private logging contractors and saw-mill owners operated predominantly on privately-owned lands.  The old growth was “high-graded” (stripped off), and much of that land was sold off to the federal government and real estate corporations (REITs).  In other words, after the easy-to-access, high-value old growth on private land was liquidated, the timber industry has been going through a structural transition (merger, acquisition, liquidation) for decades. This is the trend. Mills have closed, workforce numbers declined, and the “timber economy” in Montana and other Northern Rockies states has trended downward, with no end in sight. 

A significant portion of all wood-fiber production has relocated to the Southeastern states for a variety of quite logical, ecological and economic reasons.

"Normal" in America: Can a Corporation Posing as a Country have a Soul?

“Iran Must Begin Acting Like A Normal Nation,” Says Totally Normal Nation

Webster’s (1828) defines morality:

MORAL’ITY, noun The doctrine or system of moral duties, or the duties of men in their social character; ethics.

The system of morality to be gathered from the writings of ancient sages, falls very short of that delivered in the gospel.

1. The practice of the moral duties; virtue. We often admire the politeness of men whose morality we question.

WordPress censors another blogger unafraid to expose corruption and speak truth.

https://hendersonlefthook.wordpress.com/

Dean Henderson is a friend, fellow blogger and author of interesting books still available on Amazon. Without warning, Dean had his blog removed by WordPress on Tuesday. I called him last night to verify that he didn’t take it down voluntarily. The message said: “This blog has been archived or suspended in accordance with our Terms of Service. For more information and to contact us please read this support document.”

I, for one, will miss reading Dean’s blog entries. Funny, yesterday just after I called him the UPS truck stopped to deliver two of his books to me. Hang in there, Dean.

Perpetual War Seems Real To Me

I’ve been struggling to find a way to make sense of the increasingly frequent opinions/comments here at POM that propose, with little or no evidence, that America’s foreign wars are staged; essentially fake.

https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/01/07/an-eyewitness-to-the-horrors-of-the-us-forever-wars-speaks-out/

I offer one piece of evidence to refute this notion. The eyewitness account in the above link seems genuine enough to me. The author has a lifetime of first-hand knowledge and a consistent anti-war message offered to all who will listen.

So, I offer this as a challenge to the proponents of “wars are not real” to post some evidence of their own. I am open to changing my mind, but not based solely on the opinion of anyone that can’t bring a few tidbits of reality that we may all examine.

What have you got to share?

In the meantime, I will repeat my pathetically ineffective call for “No More Endless War.”

Has "the game" really changed?

Global Warfare: “We’re Going to Take out 7 Countries in 5 Years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan & Iran..” – Global ResearchGlobal Research – Centre for Research on Globalization

US Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper described the assassination of General Soleimani as a “decisive defensive action” while confirming that the operation ordered by Donald Trump had been carried out by the Pentagon. “The game has changed” said Defense Secretary Esper. – Michel Chossudovsky, January 4, 2019

If it isn’t our old friend Amy Goodman (AKA, Janis) with the retired “good” general managing public perception as the new Middle East Plan is unveiled. It hardly seems – to me at least – that “the game has changed.” https://www.globalresearch.ca/we-re-going-to-take-out-7-countries-in-5-years-iraq-syria-lebanon-libya-somalia-sudan-iran/5166

It’s the same game, always. Why would anyone want to continue playing this game?

They’re messing with everything. Modified by CRISPR. Synthetic biology. Oh my.

What can’t they manipulate? Not yet convinced “WE ARE THE ENEMY?” What’s on your plate? Choose wisely.
