It is coming up for an anniversary of a passing... I always like to mark them here on my blog. John's passing marked the end of a friendship lasting over 50 years.
He was, let me say, a life that was a life WORTH having been lived. Like most lives.
A life when hard work and a solid marriage and having children and a home were all that one aspired to. And that was an accomplishment.
A normal life. Yes, it was a few years ago now, but I was reminded of him when I got an email from his sister this morning. And the years came flooding back.

Three years ago, we saw President Trump make a massive fuss of Australia. Now, while I was flattered, I could not help but ask myself “ Why? “ Considering the Prime Minister of India, Mr Modi, was also in America at the very same time, why was Australia so honoured?
The Trump/ PM Modi joint Rally attracted 50,000 adoring fans and Trump applauded India’s Sovereign borders policy and talked of the Islamic threat. No doubt referencing the Pakistan Islamic militancy and the August revocation of Article 370 . in relation to Kashmir, a much disputed area important to Pakistan, India and China. It seemed that Trump was implying support for India in this decision.
Is it finally Showtime?

“Contrary to the claims of proponents of the Green New Deal and Net Zero, fossil fuels are the greenest fuels.
First, uniquely among energy sources, fossil fuel use emits CO2, which is the ultimate source of the elemental building block, carbon, found in all carbon-based life, i.e., almost all life on Earth.”
The popular commentator said he’d cut off energy supplies to the EU if he were the president of Russia
Popular conservative political commentator Jordan Peterson has tried to get into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s head and predict how Russia’s conflict with the West in Ukraine will unfold. Peterson said that if he were the Russian president he would leave the EU without energy supplies in the winter.
“I know what I’d do in his shoes,” he said on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show on Thursday. “I’d wait till the first cold snap and shut off the taps.”

The clock seems to be ticking. Growing disparities in wealth, a housing and gas crisis, transhumanism galloping over the horizon, heroized incivility, and the constant threat of viruses, the “cures” for which may be worse than the diseases.
Global politics feels eerily apocalyptic these days and, in our own little worlds, many of us are so lost, so unmoored from the comforts of our pre-pandemic lives, that we don’t know which end is up or what the future will hold. Investigative journalist Trish Wood recently wrote that we are living the fall of Rome (though it’s being pushed on us as a virtue).
I wonder, are we falling as Rome did?
I remember when I arrived in Australia, all those decades ago, I had an accent that I would chuckle at today.
Now I speak with an accent that is proudly Australian.
I was a kid from Europe whose parents barely spoke English. We were almost like kids that had been adopted by parents that we did not know and did not understand.
And I learned ballroom dancing
Powerless Times Ahead.
It is a still winter night in Green-topia.
Wind turbines are idle; solar panels are in darkness; some are covered with snow.
In the rich green suburbs, electric cars are getting re-charged. Lights, heaters and TV are on, and coffee is percolating.
Where is the electricity coming from?
I watched an excellent speech from a young American student as he addressed his school board.
It was uplifting and worrying, all at the same time.
Uplifting because he was the voice of reason and commonsense. It was worrying because he should never have had to make the speech in the first place.
Here is a transcript.

In 1946 CS Lewis wrote the book called That Hideous Strength where twisted transhumanists were trying to live forever and merge people with machines and forever change what it means to be human. This sounds a bit familiar. In this story the transhumanists had a severed head that they were artificially keeping alive. When communicating with the head they thought they were speaking to the artificial intelligence when they were in fact being guided by what could best be described as fallen angels or demonic entities. It is unclear whether our globalist antagonists are guided by dark entities or are just simply evil for the sake of being evil.

For thousands of years, a diagnosis of leprosy meant a life sentence of social isolation.
People afflicted with the condition now known as Hansen’s disease were typically taken from their families, treated with prejudice, and cruelly exiled into a lifetime of quarantine.
Does this sound familiar? Isn't this happening all over again with the vaccinations? But who will be the lepers? Us or them?
That is the question.

The current US president finally said it during a 60 Minutes interview: “The pandemic is over.” Though obviously true by the classical definition, Biden’s comment seemed almost accidental, said as an echoed response to a direct question.
Consider, however, that many times as many people die from Covid daily in the US (300-400) than when the US first announced the outrageous lockdowns of March 16, 2020. In those days, deaths were approaching 50 per day, mostly in New York. It will very likely get worse over the winter months.
