Final Post

carview.php?tsp=

I am writing this on September 30, 2023 and scheduling it to pose on 23 October 2025. The fact you are reading this means that the mesothelioma has won out, and I am gone. All in all, it has been nice know you folks. Here is the song with my slightly altered lyrics.


[Verse 1]
Watch me wallabies feed, mate
Watch me wallabies feed
They’re a dangerous breed, mate
So watch me wallabies feed
Altogether now!

[Chorus]
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down

[Verse 2]
Keep me cockatoo cool, Curl
Keep me cockatoo cool
Ah, don’t go acting the fool, Curl
Just keep me cockatoo cool
Altogether now!

[Chorus]
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down

[Verse 3]
‘N’ take me koala back, Jack
Take me koala back
He lives somewhere out on the track, Mac
So take me koala back
Altogether now!

[Chorus]
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down

[Verse 4]
Let me abos go loose, Lou
Let me abos go loose
They’re of no further use, Lou
So let me abos go loose
Altogether now!

[Chorus]
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down

[Verse 5]
And mind me platypus duck, Bill
Mind me platypus duck
Ah, don’t let ‘im go running amok, Bill
Just mind me platypus duck
Altogether now!

[Chorus]
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down

[Verse 6]
Play your didgeridoo, Blue
Play your didgeridoo
Ah, like, keep playin’ ’til I shoot through, Blue
Play your didgeridoo
Altogether now!

[Chorus]
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down

[Verse 7]
Tan me hide when I’m dead, Fred
Tan me hide when I’m dead
So we dried his hide when he died, Clyde
And that’s it hangin’ on the shed!!
Altogether now!

[Chorus]
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down

Götterdämmerung

carview.php?tsp=

I do not shave every day, but when I do shave I eventually get around to shaving my upper lip. And I think about that little man with the funny mustache who frightened the world for seventeen years. He might have seemed fearful at the time, but on this day 80 years ago he shot himself in the head, and suddenly the world began to grow bright again.

And I wonder if this is the way with all our monsters. Hirohito lived out his reign and died in bed, while Tojo went to the gallows. Mussolini was lined up against the first available wall and killed with machine gun fire. Stalin survived Hitler by eight years and died surrounded by his suck-ups.

And I am soothed by the thought the sun will come out some day. Remember, tomorrow is just a day away. I love you tomorrow. You’re always a day away.

Our President Is A Dumbass

What should be easy to show is what we need to show more often. From Occupy Democrats

carview.php?tsp=

BREAKING: Donald Trump breaks his silence on his massive $355 million civil fraud fine with a meltdown for the ages — making it clear just how deeply rattled he is.

Prosecutors need to show this to the court when Trump inevitably tries to appeal Judge Engoran’s fraud ruling…

Taking to Truth Social, Trump started off his outburst by attacking Engoran himself.

“A Crooked New York State Judge, working with a totally Corrupt Attorney General who ran on the basis of ‘I will get Trump,’ before knowing anything about me or my company, has just fined me $355 Million based on nothing other than having built a GREAT COMPANY. ELECTION INTERFERENCE. WITCH HUNT,” wrote Trump.

Obviously, Trump was not fined for “having built a GREAT COMPANY.” He was fined because his company engaged in a flagrant pattern of fraud. Specifically, he was found liable for fraud, conspiracy, issuing false financial statements, and falsifying business records.

Trump followed up his first Truth Social post with another, equally angry one—

“The Justice System in New York State, and America as a whole, is under assault by partisan, deluded, biased Judges and Prosecutors,” he whined.

“Racist, Corrupt A.G. Tish James has been obsessed with ‘Getting Trump’ for years, and used Crooked New York State Judge Engoron to get an illegal, unAmerican judgment against me, my family, and my tremendous business. I helped New York City during its worst of times, and now, while it is overrun with Violent Biden Migrant Crime, the Radicals are doing all they can to kick me out,” he added.

It’s worth noting that nowhere in his post did Trump provide any evidence of his innocence. Instead he is relying on vague accusations of corruption, blatantly false smears, and racist pandering.

If this is the best he has up his sleeve, his desperate attempt to appeal this ruling will fall flat on its face.

On top of the massive fine, Trump has been banned from borrowing money from any bank in New York. He has also been banned for three years from serving in any top roles at any New York companies, including the Trump Organization.

His sons Don Jr. and Eric have been hit with a similar ban for two years and been fined $4 million each.

On top of that, The New York Times reports that an independent monitor will serve as “court’s eyes and ears at the Trump Organization” and report any fraud or suspicious behavior.

This could finally be the end of Trump’s empire.

Please hit the 👍 and pass this on if you LOVE this ruling from Judge Engoron — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Remote Viewing

It happened I was out of town on business, and I had come home from the airport. The phone rang. A local TV station wanted to know if I could come down and do an interview on remote viewing. I had the time, so I went down there. The producer and I discussed remote viewing, and a cameraman recorded. Here is about remote viewing as best as I can pull it together.

carview.php?tsp=

There is a thing called the ganzfeld (whole field) state. It involves putting a human subject into sensory deprivation, and in that state the subject can perceive what another person is seeing. The other person can be in another part of the city. A curious thing about the ganzfeld state is the subject puts halves of ping pong balls over his eyes.

Meanwhile the other person, the sender, drives to various locations and looks at a street scene, park, building or other. The subject is advised to start seeking, and they draw a sketch of what the other person is seeing. At the end everybody gets back together to see if what the sender saw is what the subject perceived. Some researchers claimed good results. Specifically Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff working at Stanford University were among those who conducted experiments. From Wikipedia:

Examination of the few actual transcripts published by Targ and Puthoff show that just such clues were present. To find out if the unpublished transcripts contained cues, Marks and Kammann wrote to Targ and Puthoff requesting copies. It is almost unheard of for a scientist to refuse to provide his data for independent examination when asked, but Targ and Puthoff consistently refused to allow Marks and Kammann to see copies of the transcripts. Marks and Kammann were, however, able to obtain copies of the transcripts from the judge who used them. The transcripts were found to contain a wealth of cues.

The TV producer asked me what I thought of it, and my reply was lame. All I could tell him was about the Targ and Puthoff tests, and that there were irregularities. But here is my take on what is necessary to reliably test remote viewing.

The outside person goes out and takes photos of five to ten locations. He makes prints of all the photos, and he makes a backup set and numbers each one in random order. This is necessary so there are no time of day cues in the images. He keeps them to himself. On the day of the test the outside man goes to the various locations in the order of the numbers on his set of prints. Then the test moderator advises the subject to view and to draw.

Everybody gets together after the test run. The outside man shows photos of the sites, likely numbered 1, 2, 3… They compare the photos with the drawings. Yes, that looks like the drawing. No, that’s not like the drawing. And Targ and Puthoff claimed better better than chance results. If that is what they did, then they did it wrong. There is a topic called DOE, design of experiments. How do you design an experiment that does not fall prey to judgement or fakery? I would suggest this approach:

The subject then compares photos with drawings and matches drawings to prints. This photo goes with this drawing, and so on. Remember, that the outside person has the numbered prints, so the question boils down to, “Do the numbers match?” This removes subjectivity from the analysis of the results. My guess is remote viewing will never provide results better than probability

Back in the Saddle Again

I got my computer back, and I figure to post some more to the blog. I will begin with a story from Patriot Journal.

carview.php?tsp=

I subscribe to PJ’s email, and this came up today. And I was saying, “Yeah, seen this before.” Right wing outlets earlier this year yodeled about Venezuela gangs in Aurora, Colorado, and the local fuzz brushed of the news, stating there were gangs in Aurora, but they were local.

Surprise, surprise!

Nineteen individuals have been detained for allegedly torturing two people during a home invasion at an Aurora, Colorado apartment complex that received national attention when President-elect Donald Trump claimed it was being taken over by a Veneuzlen gang.

And you won’t hear about this from mainstream media. Except that you have. The above coverage was pulled from USA Today, plus CNN carried the story along with other outlets. Patriot Journal is all about supporting Donald Trump and the MAGA cult, and mainstream media are continually reviled in their reporting. From them you will never hear that mainstream media did carry the story.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A man was arrested Tuesday night for his alleged involvement in a road rage shooting in Tampa that left a 4-year-old girl injured, according to the Tampa Police Department.

James Jackson, 34, was allegedly driving in the 3000 block of North 50th Street when he “became irate” with the woman driver of a white Chevrolet sedan, police said. Jackson allegedly fired multiple shots at the other car, which had a 4-year-old girl, an 8-year-old girl, and a man in his 20s inside.

All right. Everybody by now knows this series is all about sarcasm. I mean, look at the title. It drips. Now for the latest story.

He’s 14. He’s been to five funerals. Can he avoid his own?

In D.C., where teens are increasingly getting shot and killed, Rashad Bates knows he could be next. So do the adults trying to keep him alive.

Apparently the Second Amendment, originally intended to ensure we had a civilian population able to step forward to defend the country, has transmogrified into an unlimited license and an excuse for flooding the population with firearms. The news continues to carry stories of handgun owners who think the right to posses a weapon gives them the authority whenever the whim arises. We have made our children a matter of collateral damage—a cost of doing the Second Amendment’s duty.

NO MORE VACCINES:

The COVID vaccine is an experimental medical intervention. It was only approved for emergency use and bypassed most of the typical regulatory safety and approval checks.

There is no completely risk-free vaccine, and this one, in particular, has been associated with more deaths and side effects than all other vaccines combined in history. There is debate about the vaccine’s benefits, and some argue that it may not provide absolute protection against COVID.

In fact, some critics claim that it weakens the immune system, potentially increasing susceptibility to common and serious side effects, including acute hemorrhage, acute blood clotting, strokes, heart attacks, myocarditis, neurological problems, and autoimmune conditions. There have also been reports of Vaccine-Induced Immunodeficiency Syndrome, which some liken to HIV/AIDS.

Many advocate for alternative, natural, and safe ways to combat COVID. The COVID-19 vaccine, regardless of the manufacturer, has also been associated with claims of DNA disruption, parasitic and pathogenic infection, and infiltration by microscopic nanoparticles and graphene oxide, which are alleged to cause significant health detriments.

Where does Breitbart come up with this shit? Are they really that dumb, or do they think their readers are? I am betting on the latter.

Bad Joke of the Week

Number 589 of a Series

Slow day today. I will just put up some stale limericks. Playboy kicked off their dirty limericks series with this one.

Limericks pack laughs anatomical.
In space that is quite economical.
But the good ones we’ve seen
So seldom are clean,
And the clean ones are seldom economical.

So, here goes.

A bather, whose clothing was strewed
By breezes that left her quite nude
Saw a man come along,
And unless we are wrong,
You expected this last line to be lewd.

There was a young man from Nantucket,
With a dick so long he could suck it.
And he said with a grin
As he wiped off his chin,
“If my ear was a cunt I would fuck it.”

There was an old man from Nantucket,
Who kept all his dough in a bucket.
His daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man.
And as for the bucket, Nan took it.

There was a young lady named Gloria,
Who was had by Sir Gerald DeNoria,
And then by six men,
Then Sir Gerald again,
Then the band at the Waldorf Astoria.

Getting tired. I will pause and add more later. Keep reading.

Las Vegas shooting suspect was a professor who recently applied for a job at UNLV, AP source says

BY KEN RITTER AND RIO YAMAT
Updated 9:44 PM CST, December 6, 2023

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The man suspected of fatally shooting three people and wounding another at a Las Vegas university Wednesday was a professor who unsuccessfully sought a job at the school, a law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press.

The gunman was killed in a shootout with law enforcement, police said. The attack at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas sent shock waves through a city still scarred by the deaths of 60 people in a 2017 mass shooting.

The suspect previously worked at East Carolina University in North Carolina, according to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to release the information publicly.

Apparently some of those university professors forgot to bring their sidearms to to work on Wednesday.

Destruction of Plants Fits Flood Narrative

BY TIM CLAREY, PH.D. *  | MONDAY, MARCH 08, 2021

A recent study has found that the destruction of plants preceded the destruction of many forms of animal life in the rock record.1 This is exactly what was predicted in ICR’s Flood model.

According to standard uniformitarian theory, the boundary between the Permian and Triassic Systems is supposed to be marked by the largest extinction event of all time. Evolutionary scientists claim that roughly 90% of ocean species and 70% of land species went extinct suddenly at this boundary.1 This event is known as the P-T or now the Permian-Triassic mass extinction (PTME).

And I can stop right here, because the (Noah) flood of the Bible never happened.

The Genesis flood narrative (chapters 6–9 of the Book of Genesis) is a Hebrew flood myth. It tells of God’s decision to return the universe to its pre-creation state of watery chaos and remake it through the microcosm of Noah’s ark.

The Book of Genesis was probably composed around the 5th century BCE, although some scholars believe that primeval history (chapters 1–11), including the flood narrative, may have been composed and added as late as the 3rd century BCE. It draws on two sources, called the Priestly source and the non-Priestly or Yahwist, and although many of its details are contradictory, the story forms a unified whole.

More from Wikipedia.

Scholars believe that the flood myth originated in Mesopotamia during the Old Babylonian Period (c. 1880–1595 BCE) and reached Syro-Palestine in the latter half of the 2nd millennium BCE. Extant texts show three distinct versions, the Sumerian Epic of Ziusudra, (the oldest, found in very fragmentary form on a single tablet dating from about 1600 BCE, although the story itself is older), and as episodes in two Akkadian language epics, the Atrahasis and the Epic of Gilgamesh.

I am putting The Flood at about 1600 BCE, and there is a problem with that. The flood was supposed to have drowned all people and all land animals on the planet, but on the North American Continent we had people living during that time, and for reasons unknown they failed to notice such a happening.

Perhaps this is not so much an abuse of science as it is an abuse of human intelligence.

A group of aeronautical engineering professors were invited to fly for free on a new aircraft that was just being introduced.

As the door was closing and the plane was about to take off, a voice over the intercom said, “Thank you for your confidence in taking the inaugural flight on this new aircraft. It was designed and built by all of your students over this past year.

All the professors began to unbuckle their seatbelts and make their way to the exit door of the plane, with the exception of one, who remained calmly seated with a smile on his face.

One of the professors who was standing in line to exit the plane asked him why he wasn’t getting off of the plane, knowing that the plane was built by some of his recent students.

The Professor replied, “Because they are our students.”

Another professor who was standing close by asked, “So you are sure that you taught your students well enough to build this?

The sitting professor smiled and said, “No, I’m not sure, but I AM sure that it won’t fly.”
