Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsRandom Note — A Primer On Political Corruption
After reading several books on this over the last number of years, broadcaster and podcaster, Glen Beck goes one better and distills and condenses the events since 2016 in American politics down to 15 minutes or so. It’s only when you again hear those events...
Random Note — Orwell and Gaslighting
In 2025 we call it gaslighting but just remember this 1949 Orwell observation from his dystopian book, 1984 next time you’re told that renewables are cheaper and then you take a second look at your electricity bill. It's exactly the same thing.
Random Note — Ecocide
Ecocide is defined as: “..𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬, 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝, 𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦…” And there is a global campaign underway to make it a crime under...

There are times when the use of the phrase “in the national interest” has its place. There are issues and moments when it applies. But far to often in more recent times it has become a “go to” set of words deployed to push emotional buttons and trigger an emotional...
Random Note — Democrat Psy-op
This is a psyop plain and simple. It’s all about creating perceptions . Creating the perception of instability and crisis and then “𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞” Slotkin et al as the arsonists light the fire to deliberately provoke a response and then tries to...

They are mentally fragile and in the true sense, delusional and unbalanced. Living on a razors edge, hanging by a thread. Their lives are one big, Mao style struggle session.
Random Thought — Renewable Subsidies
Renewable subsidies are the equivalent of an energy system on crutches or in a wheel chair or if you like, on a ventilator. Whichever, renewables cannot exist without some form of mobility or life support and the ventilator machinery of subsidies to do its breathing...
