The inevitable shape-of-things-to-come has finally arrived in a major California city. I am pleased to report Voters in bankrupt San Bernardino sweep old guard from power.

 Residents of bankrupt San Bernardino, California on Tuesday voted to complete a rout of the city’s pro-union old guard, electing business-friendly pragmatists who have pledged to try to reduce pension costs and take on vested interests.   Continue reading “Voters in Bankrupt San Bernardino Sweep Pro-Union Guard from Office; Hard Line on CalPERS”

“Pike will pay for this, you wait and see—we’ll destroy him for this.” —Mitchell Rogovin, CIA special counsel, 1976

Last month, former Congressman Otis Pike died, and no one seemed to notice or care. That’s scary, because Pike led the House’s most intensive and threatening hearings into US intelligence community abuses, far more radical and revealing than the better-known Church Committee’s Senate hearings that took place at the same time. That Pike could die today in total obscurity, during the peak of the Snowden NSA scandal, is, as they say, a “teachable moment” —one probably not lost on today’s already spineless political class.     Continue reading “The first congressman to battle the NSA is dead. No-one noticed, no-one cares.”

I see you standing here, asking for help, about once a week. You are always polite, and I respect that. I’d like to do something for you… something that would matter long-term. Giving you a few notes or coins now and then may be fine, but I’d really like to improve your situation more permanently.

In other words, I’d like to give you a job.

I used to hire people, and I especially liked hiring people who had been denied breaks. I did that whenever I could. If you and I could be transported back in time, I’d hire you. And I’d feel good about it, because I think having a job would do you a lot of good.   Continue reading “A Frank Letter to the Homeless Man Under the Bridge”

New surveillance camera technology may be flying over your city soon. The new cameras are mounted on fixed-wing aircraft and can monitor an area the size of a small city for hours on end.

The Washington Post reported on this new generation of surveillance cameras:   Continue reading “Eyes in the Sky: New Surveillance Technology to Watch Over Us”

“There are lots of shill reports out there with liars saying left and right that the bee problem is worldwide. That is a LIE, a lie laid waste by simply checking the commodities index and seeing who produces what, and what producers are saying. They all know that America is toast when it comes to honey production. They all know America’s bees are dying.”

I was on the topic of honey the other day, and figured out a great way to circumvent any possible inaccuracies in the truth movement with regard to GMO’s and colony collapse disorder.   Continue reading “Colony Collapse Disorder definitely GMO related and restricted to the U.S.”
