What to make of this?

OK, I get that this is brainwashing, child abuse in my mind. This kind of indoctrination is what gets us intolerable brats like little Greta Thunberg.
Some movements should go extinct

If you are like me, you read and ingest scientific papers by the bushel. I kid. Generally, I read the abstract if it draws my interest, and occasionally delve into one with the idea that I will keep at it until I am overwhelmed. I am not good at math, and generally the papers are based in mathematics, and so lose me.
Judge Lance Ito and martial … law
Some of the best fun I had back when Straight and I were unearthing zombies and twins was the intriguing resemblance between Bruce Lee and Judge Lance Ito. Looking back I see I’ve collected and organized and sized the photos, but either left it at that or deleted the post. Since I have long thought this was some of our best work, I doubt that I deleted the post, but I have indeed gotten rid of many, so it is possible.
Circular travels
I was listening to a talk by Andrew Klavan, the crime and suspense writer, given at Hillsdale College. I liked the entire talk, as I think I have come half-circle. Twenty-nine years ago I dropped my then twenty-years-running subscription to National Review, the magazine founded by Bill Buckley. I just renewed it. I hope this time around I am a better thinker. There is much I like about conservatism, and much I find to be less well reasoned. (Their attitude about the supposed “free market” and health care along with opposition to “socialized” medicine has led us to a dystopia called Obamacare, making us prisoners of AHIP, though they are not aware of this.)
Speaking truth to spoiled brats
This video is 12 minutes. I invite anyone interested in seeing overprivileged whelps get a whatfer to view it. In it, Benny Peiser (cv below) is in a debate sponsored by Cambridge, and only his side is presented here. I thought it exceptional because he openly accuses the Cambridge greens of smugness, mentions how they jet about while denying access to fossil fuels to Africans, who desperately want to develop. He blames millions of deaths on green policies.
Living with Yourself

The nights are long here in Colorado, and I’ve been searching for television fare to gobble up some time. Not much appeals to me, but last night I decided just to give something a chance, and ended up watching two episodes of a Netflix show called Living With Yourself.
The Killing Hope Project, Jamaican edition
Steve Kelly recently offered a comment that included a song by Bob Marley and the Wailers, called Judge Not, which you can hear below.
Marley died of melanoma at age 36, in 1981. My immediate thought, however, was that his death was probably faked.

Blowing (debt) bubbles for oligarch carpetbaggers: Bigger and better than ever.

Mark and others have demonstrated how the climate change narrative has been doctored and promoted by a multi-disciplinary team of liars that serve the collection of oligarchs presently anxious to begin their turn partying in the driver’s seat. But will the new, green economy do the trick? Will climate change create the hysteria needed to inflate the next global economic bubble and transition us into a new world order – much like the old-world order — that is less dependent on perpetual war and violence against the non-compliant? Can the ruling class reach consensus?
Privatization, deregulation and austerity (neoliberal principles) have served the uber-rich since the 1970s at the expense of everyone else. Countries rich in oil and other natural treasures have suffered most. Wealth has accumulated at the top, stolen in the usual manner, at gunpoint, by the proxy armies of NATO and private mercenaries and international NGOs, funded by the U.S. defense budget and laundered money from gun-running, drugs, trafficking and gambling, all channeled through global banks like the BIS, IMF and World Bank.

Above is a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather forecast from September 19, forecasting our weather for October. It said that it was going to be warm, much warmer than normal out here in the western US.
