Martin Luther King … hidden in plain sight

It’s not every day this happens, but when it does, my heart soars like a hawk. I am going to reprint some comments from You Can Call Me Ray. Since we are leaving on a trip Monday morning, I don’t have time to flesh this out, study the timelines, do multiple face chops. But I am confident that with the face chop above and all of the circumstantial evidence supplied by Ray, that we can make a strong case that Martin Luther King, Jr., who readers of this blog know did not die April 4, 1968, simply became someone else.  Hopefully Ray will be around to flesh it out in the comments. I could wait until our return later in September, but truth is, I can’t wait to publish this. I am waiting on Ray’s permission to proceed. (By the way, face chops like the one above are hard to come by – you’d be surprised how rare it is to find the subjects looking directly at the camera, which is why I elected to use the one of Don King with a cigar in his mouth.)

Memory Lane: The Death of Eva Perón

María Eva Duarte de Perón, popularly known as Evita, was an early rock star of sorts, the Princess Diana of her time, the late 1940s-early 50s. She was world famous. She was (1946-forward) the First Lady of Argentina by way of her 1945 marriage to Juan Perón, who was elected president in 1946. Evita is said to have died on July 26, 1952.

This post is a bit of a rehash of my work surrounding Evita. I am quite certain her 1952 death was fake. I posted as much on my blog, PieceofMindful, and walked right in on the greatest shock of my life thereafter. How’s that for a tease?

IPCC: Just Bad at Science … or Engaged in Science Fraud?

IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and climate alarmists in general don’t think the sun is terribly important in the matter of the climate of our planet. As absurd as that sounds, there is a reason: The UN’s political Agenda (established by Resolution A/RES/43/53 of the UN General Assembly in 1988) is to promote Anthropogenic Climate Change. That is the cart that precedes AGW and its so-called science horse. If the sun was shown to be a major player in global climate, it would short circuit the AGW movement. But that creates a problem, as the sun is indeed the major player behind our planet’s climate.

National Interagency Fire Center joins the long con

The Heartland Institute is a group of climate change skeptics comprised of scientists and others, many like me simply impressed with their work and willing to contribute. (I tongue-in-cheek give them $33 a month). In 2022 they put out a booklet called Climate at a Glance for Teachers and Students that offers up a brief summary of thirty hot topics, so to speak. Each item is referenced so that debate among the public and climate “scientists” can go on intelligently.

The above graph is a 93-year record of forest fires in the lower 48. I recognize that it is somewhat blurry, as I had to scan it out of the book. It is no longer available on public agency websites. The X-axis is years, 1920-2020, and the Y-axis the number of acres burned in the lower 48, 10 million to 60 million. As we can see, the most acreage burned by forest fires was the 1930s and 40s, with 1931 seeing 52 million acres burned. I hesitate to say we “lost” acreage, as it has almost all grown back, and also know that wildfires are a natural component of forest health.

Climate sensitivity: Warmists miss by a factor of 682?

I have maintained for some time now that the effects of CO2 on the planet’s temperature are insignificant, no more than a pimple on an elephant’s butt. CO2 was chosen as a stalking horse to enable warmists to surreptitiously level an attack on humanity via elimination of fossil fuels, our lifeblood. It’s people that they want gone. 

Much of the debate surrounding CO2 is about what is referred to as “climate sensitivity”, or the amount of warming that would occur with a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere. Typically measurements of atmospheric CO2 start before the industrial revolution, in the late 1700s, at 280ppm (parts per million), so that a doubling would be 560ppm, which by my calculations will happen in 35-40 years at current rates. (We are currently at about 422 ppm, or stated otherwise, the percentage of the atmosphere that is CO2 is .0422, or .000422 if stated as a decimal. It is but a trace molecule, blown up by warmists to T-Rex proportion. 

Before we dissect the above graph, I want to cite AI, which these days bleeds over anything I try to use a search engine for … this is AI describing IPCC Climate Models.

Hottest day ever?

AP News recently ran a headline claiming, actually shouting, that Monday, July 22, 2024 was the hottest day ever in Earth’s history. My questions are many, but most importantly, do they really expect to be taken seriously when making such claims? This is followed by “Do they believe their own lies?” It appears to me that these screaming headlines are designed to reach gullible people who don’t read beyond headlines and who can’t think properly anyway. That must be the target market – most Americans.

Let’s have a look of some of the many problems with this headline:

Life in pre-evac

Look up the “Quarry Fire” on any search engine, and you will be as up-to-speed are we are, that is, wanting a little more information. The best I can usually do is information that is 11 hours or one day old. When I use the Brave search engine, it rolls  its AI down from the top and is not reliable. Yesterday it said that the fire was at 9,000 acres and was definitely caused by arson. The fire is at 450+ acres, and arson is suspected. Authorities will only say “human-caused”.

There’s a somewhat wild area to the east of us, and last Wednesday at 9PM a deputy on patrol saw something on a steep trail, one that has switchbacks. He saw a 10×10 area of fire. By morning it was at 200 acres and growing.

We’ve had no rain, no lightening. How that 10×10 area came about is under investigation, and is, according to law enforcement, “very suspicious”. That’s all we know.

A trillion dollar idea

I had a vague memory of an exciting idea some years ago. I watched a report where a Treasury official held up what he called a “Trillion dollar coin*.” He claimed he could use it to march across the street to the Federal Reserve, and pay down the national debt.

I ran with that thought, but did not understand what was going on well enough. I thought the Treasury official was merely making light of our monetary system. At that time I had not theorized deeply on things, but all by myself in subsequent years came to believe

  • We could eliminate the national debt tomorrow, and nothing would change. Just eliminate it, draw a line through it with a #2 pencil, not pay it off. It’s all funny money.
  • Budget deficits are political tools used to deny funding to some things while funding others. For instance, what I consider a noble cause, funding college education for well-performing students, would be denied due to “deficit constraints.” But a new war? We have tons of money, no restraints!
  • Social Security and Medicare could be perpetually funded.
  • The Social Security Trust Fund, an illusory “fund” at best, could be eliminated.
  • Medicaid, which is in part funded by individual states, could be funded in full by the federal government. States are truly constrained by real budgets and would be relieved to be free of paying for Medicaid.
  • Taxes on the public, merely a means of controlling spending and inflation, would continue. But the idea that the federal government is using that money to pay its bills is nonsense. The money just evaporates.
