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.

100-year climate trends … barely perceptible
I did this exercise for Montana, which was my home state until 2009, but I have this data for all of the lower 48 states. It was assembled by Bob Tisdale from NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. As Tisdale says on the cover of the book, Extremes and Averages in Contiguous U.S. Climate, this is a “Book that NOAA Should Have Published.” NOAA, however, is a participant in the climate scare scam so even as its scientists and bureacrats are doing real and valuable work, it is not being published. We have to go get it ourselves.

Sports and rigged outcomes (?)
Just for my own entertainment, I was revisiting a comment by “MH” from 2016. It concerned Superbowl 49, and an amazing catch near the end of the game by Jermaine Kearse of Seattle. It appears that all videos, including the one referenced in the comment below, are now off limits, that is, private property of the NFL and not available for viewing. I did manage to grab the photo above, which was interspersed with two sports journalists drooling over the Patriots miraculous victory in that game.
My curiosity arose from a discussion of the current World Series, which appears to be headed towards a Houston victory this evening, but has extended to a seven game series. That doesn’t always happen – last year Boston won in five, but I believe that it is in the interest of the league owners to have a seven-game series, as it brings in more ad revenue. But how to fix a baseball game (especially now with instant replay)? It’s easy … just tip pitches. If a batter knows what’s coming, more times than not a hit follows, often a home run. These guys are superb athletes. The batter/pitcher dual is intense – these are the best athletes of any sport, in my humble opinion.
World Wildlife Fund nonsense
¡Ay, caramba! WWF is one of the big greens pushing the climate change scare, along with outfits like Sierra and Greenpeace. This is from their recent catalogue. They are using penguins to sympathy troll, and kids are the target. No shame, they have. No shame.
Good tidings and farewell to BMSeattle
You might be wondering why I put up a video from a 1969 movie from a 1951 Broadway musical, Paint Your Wagon. Me too. I woke up this morning with Lee Marvin’s crusty voice on my brain. Tyrone, our Hollywood connection, brought this song to my attention. Marvin (named Lee after his ancestor, General Robert E. – there is something to this genealogy in Hollywood stuff) can’t sing for shit, but with help of real Hollywood talent, creates a memorable moment.
Physics is Constipated
Someone here recommended a 1983 book by Milton W. Monson Sr. called Physics is Constipated. I found it on Amazon but it was only printed in limited numbers and was priced at $100. That’s a bit spendy, but I put it in the shopping cart anyway, and left it there. A while later I was purchasing something else and found that the price had been slashed to $50, and I impulsively bought it. That was months ago.
Here it sits right in my reach, but is otherwise beyond my reach. It is 659 pages, each littered with algebraic computations … many years ago I had decided to take the GRE so I could go to grad school and was studying my high school algebra early mornings. I found that I could still manage the basics. Had I ever taken that test, I probably would have passed that section. But it is tedious and unrewarding. I have many times told people over the years that as a CPA I do not do math. I do arithmetic. (I never attended grad school, by the way. That was just an ego trip.)
I’ll never make it through this book, as the algebra is far more than basic. But it could be a valuable resource for someone with better math and science chops than I possess. So I offer it, first come, for free to any reader who wants it. Let me know in the comments, using your real email address, and I will contact you. And don’t worry … domestic postal rates for books are very cheap. I will mail it to you.
Sorry … can’t do international.
PS: Not only can I not do math, but I am apparently blind too. Check out the first comment below. This cannot be coincidental.
