How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again! (Mark Twain)
The above graph is of sea level rise projected for the city of San Francisco for the period 2018-2100. Please note the following:
Projected sea level rise is as follows based on “anthropogenic forcing”, or human activity:
Level of rise Meters Millimeters (mm) mm per year
Extreme 2.5 2,500 30
High 2.0 2,000 24
Intermediate high 1.5 1,500 18
Intermediate 1.0 1,000 12
Low 0.3 300 3.6
1900-2018 historic 0.23 230 1.95

In his recent post about Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK), Mark astutely highlights key dates as potential “spook markers,” suggesting a deeper significance behind these patterns. Upon examining the deaths of MLK’s relatives, a peculiar trend of noteworthy dates and circumstances undeniably emerges. While I don’t intend to delve as deeply into this topic as Mark has in his excellent analysis, I’d like to share some passing observations for consideration.
Continue reading “Stri-King Numerical Markers”Summary: Human beings naturally group due to many factors, but require effective leaders to force changes. Such leaders often rise organically, as can be seen in history with people like Genghis Kahn, whose presence is still widely felt due to his procreation habits. The leaders we have now and have had for several thousand years, are well aware of organic movements and how to destroy them. Two such recent movements come to mind: The racial unrest of the post-World War II era, and the anti-war movement that arose in response to a seemingly unnecessary and barbaric attack on native populations in Southeast Asia in the early 1960s forward.
The response to such movements is easy to predict – the true an hidden leaders among us, whose activities are clandestine, make and force upon us false leaders whose objective is to destroy organic movements, and render the population into eunuch status. The anti-Vietnam-war movement was rendered impotent by the activities of people like Tom Hayden and Jane Fonda, H Rap Brown, Stokely Carmichael, Noam Chomsky, Dr. Benjamin Spock and others. However, it was Charles Manson and company, who gave us a fake but highly publicized massacre in 1969, that drove the stake through the heart of the movement. Having taken on all of the apparent appearances of a populist surge, the anti-war movement was rendered impotent in the aftermath of the Tate-LaBianca killings, and never recovered as the war moved forward, finally having achieved its real goals by 1975.
Similarly, the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s grew in strength, and needed to be reined in by false leaders, supplied by Intelligence. Among them were people like Rosa Parks, Thurgood Marshall, Medgar Evans, Jesse Jackson, and Ralph Abernathy. But the most prominent of them was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This post examines his real origins, a 1959 arrest wherein he was chosen to become a new man with a fake background, a powerful public speaker named Dr. Martin Luther King, who apparently lived on to become fight promoter Don King. Predictably, the Civil Rights movement was left in tatters after King’s fake assassination in 1968. As false leaders do, he led his followers into a brick wall. His was an exercise in false hope, and of killing real hope.
We here in Colorado (at 7,900 feet) are in the midst of a cold snap, with temperatures in the below-zero range. Typically this time of year in our state we enjoy daytime temperatures in the thirties, though often with sub-freezing at night. This morning as I stepped outside our garage to deliver some recyclables to the bin, I was hit with what is called an “Artic blast”, and that is actually a correct label. Such cold air as we currently have is unnatural for our area, and does indeed originate in the Arctic.
I read the Manhattan Contrarian regularly. That blog is listed in our blogroll. I have never thought to plug his work, as it has never occurred to me that he is in need of help from a lesser blog. But today I want to offer him some kudos.
The post I am referring to is The Energy Storage Fiasco: How Soon Will It Be Abandoned?, dated January 17, 2025. The photo above, is of the Moss Landing battery storage facility, located in Monterey County, California. It is the largest battery storage facility in the world. Lithium ion batteries have a tendency to spontaneously combust, and this fire broke out on January 16, or two days ago from this writing. No one is yet revealing the amount of damage done by the fire, so I can only observe by the photo that it is substantial.

Here’s an obviously staged photo taken at the fake Trump assassination attempt on July 13, 2024.
How can we tell it was staged? A shot had supposedly been taken at Trump from the direction that his white shirt is facing, opening him up to more shots from that direction. Any prominent public figure knows that when faced with danger the instructions are to get low and stay low, and crawl to safety. Since fight promoter Trump knows about staging, it is safe to say that he and the circle of people around him rehearsed this scene for dramatic effect, creating a courageous and defiant leader.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently announced that 2024 was the warmest year on record, the key being “on record.” When IPCC speaks it is treated in the media as an ex cathedra source (a Catholic expression meaning “from the chair”, or infallible). There are several reasons for this:
This post offers something simple yet ambitious: a playlist that I believe encapsulates the music of 1980. Let me start with a disclaimer—I’m not claiming to be the ultimate authority on music, nor do I consider myself a musicologist (whatever that is).
To create this playlist, I compiled a list of the year’s top-selling albums—gold and platinum hits—and set out to listen to every single track. Yes, every single one. How many people do you know with both the time and determination to undertake such a project? My plan is to continue this endeavor year by year, compiling playlists that capture the spirit of each year.

You might only recognize one face in this trio of photos: a young girl named Barbara Winter from the 1960s, Peter Yarrow of the iconic folk group Peter, Paul & Mary, and former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away on December 29, coincidentally just a week before Yarrow’s death on January 7. The connection between them is not immediately obvious, but their shared history reveals a disturbing and largely forgotten story.

The question mark in the title can officially be removed—the deception is undeniable. The evidence speaks for itself.
