Asia vs NATO/EU

  The world has been hyper-focused on Eastern Europe for over a month now. Actually, two months is kind of a miracle for Americans. Here's why I am looking at the Middle East and Asia, the majority of the people in these countries are watching and listening to the hysteria coming out of NATO/US  and EU countries. They see what happened to Imran Khan when he took a stand against the oligarchs in America. He got removed by a 'lack of confidence vote in their parliament. These countries are seeing how countries like Sweden, Finland, and Moldova are being manipulated into joining NATO. But no offers to Ukraine. The country that wanted it more than any of them.  When I started the research for this video I hadn’t realized how immense Asia is. Most of all I forgot Russia is considered a part of the Aisan continent. Russia alone occupies eleven time zones. It’s huge.  Here’s a thought, there are 22 Arabic nations and 48 Asian nations. There are 22 European nations and curre...

Why NATO/US Are Terrified to Go To War With Russia

  I have given this a lot of thought. And here's what I've come to. Reasons NATO/US are terrified to go against Russia in a war. Nuclear weapons program. Russia has as many if not more nukes as we do. More importantly, is that they have maintained their ability to use them if needed.  They have hypersonic missiles. They could launch a missile from Cuba and it would be in DC before they knew what happened. Seriously! We've been at war for over twenty years in one way or another.  Russians are used to hardships. Those who are in their late forties and up remember what life was like during the Soviet Union and after it supposedly collapsed in the 1990s, know how to survive. These are the people who are in the top ranks of Russia's military. They are the ones running the boot camps or basic training camps. They are the ones producing soldiers there. That's why the Russian military is a hell of a lot tougher than ours is. We don't train soldiers like my late father w...

International Food Crisis

  Who controls the food supply controls the people; who control the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world. HENRY KISSINGER Alright y’all Easter is behind us and we have at least six American holidays left and Christmas followed by New Year to look forward to. Today, The German grocer Nord Aldi is raising its prices again. That’s twice in one month. We have to get real about the sanctions and how they are going to affect our food supply chain going forward into 2022. We may not be feeling the strain now, have no doubt it will happen this year or early next year.  First, let’s talk about limits. Back in February, I noticed that Walmart in Frenchtown Michigan had put limits on baby formula. It doesn’t matter what brand you buy it’s limit is five per day. According to the article from Eatthis.com, there are more limits to come from Costco, Kroger, and gas stations. People have noticed that there have been limits on how much gas they could pu...

Easter Day!

Hope you had a wonderful Easter. Everyone survived no ER visits for any reason. The annoying relative annoyed everyone but you. Perhaps it's the wine or you were able to avoid them. Either way, they are gone and you won't have to see them till the next holiday when someone else cooks in their home because you've met your obligation for the year.  Now you have all this ham. There are so many possibilities for it. Sliders, sandwiches, or casseroles. Salads go without saying. This is where Pinterest is a God-sent. So many ways to use that ham. Of course, these recipes will work with any meat you have leftover.  Soups, salads, sandwiches and sliders are the usual favorites. Given the rising cost of food (and everything else) you going to want to pull every piece of meat off of the bone. Casseroles come to mind.  References Easter Leftovers Recipes . (2021, April 4).

Propaganda by Edward Bernays Chapter 11: The Mechanics of Propaganda

  "The newspaper, of course, remains always the primary medium for the transmission of opinions and ideas-in other words, for propaganda." Edward Bernays  Remember this book was written in 1924. When you look at today's most popular forum for 'opinions and ideas' we have to look at the internet. Newspapers, radios, and televisions were used for years to share a story.  Now we have endless news shows that have zero actual news and more opinions than anything. Morning Joe for example. They are the essential hub for propaganda brainwashing from six am to nine am. The brainless dribble coming out of that bunch of arrogant loons can make you wonder how they even stay on the airwaves. The flip side was RT America. They had talk shows and actual news shows. They had talk shows as well. Something for everyone. I enjoyed The World According to Jesse with Jesse Ventura and Redacted Tonight with Lee Camp. He was able to write his material and choose staff that he'd work ...

Tomorrow Is Easter

  Tomorrow is Easter! Where did the month go? Look at your living room. What is there to do that your kids could and should do? Bathroom check. Does everything look good with hand towels for tomorrow and enough toilet paper?  Moving on to the kitchen. If you are preparing dishes in advance then you could do this now. Or if you are doing a potluck, clean thoroughly. You know there will always be that annoying person who looks at everything. They are looking and if it doesn't meet their idea of clean they will let you know. For them, invite them over to help clean or zip it. You have this dinner plus your regular schedule to tend to. You can tell that I've got experience with this issue. As for dinner, don't be shy about delegating this task as well. What the hell, you're on a roll. Besides, you've done most of the cleaning, cooking, and tidying up. Let the family fend for themselves for one meal.  Now that you are done just take a minute to do the last-minute tidying...

Two Days to Easter

You have two days till the big day. I hope this post has been helpful. Up to this point, you should have games for the kids planned out for inside and outside. Last month we had three days of Spring-like temps then slammed with snow. So make sure you have a plan. One day away from video games would be ideal. What are the tasks left? Well let's see; prep for cooking. Did you order your dinner pre-cooked or are you going to potluck it? Which isn't a bad idea. Pick up your outfits for Easter. Prep your kitchen to be the zone where everyone gathers.  Go through your home and do some spot cleaning and you are done. 

Easter Shopping

  An option I haven’t thought about is the service most stores offer is a pre-cooked meal. All you do is pick it up and heat it. This service is offered in most stores across the country.  Now for the shopping. What store do you use? How far are they from your home? Will you have time after work to up everything you need? Or can you take one day a week to devote to this shopping? This meal may seem overwhelming but if you break it down it can be done easily.  Let’s start with your pantry at home. What are the recipes that you are responsible for? Make sure you have everything. Offer to let others pick from your pantry if needed. A good holiday meal should cost a month’s salary. What are going to wear? The average dry cleaner is affordable compared to buying a new dress. If you need alterations, now is the time to plan on that. Again, compared to a brand new dress, alterations and dry cleaner is affordable. 

Trouble On The Horizon

  Over the last week, we saw several things happen. Russia backed its currency with gold, a false flag get called out. Also, France is debating about rationing liquid natural gas. That’s going to get ripe over there. There have been Russian diplomats expelled from countries like Lithuania. Everyone pat them on the back for ending their purchasing of Russian LNG. Except they had already planned this out. Lithuania had been planning for some time to end its reliance on Russian LNG. It was funny to watch people pat them on the back for what they had already going to do.  Bucha! This false flag event was squashed and proven to be a fraud. Right after Bucha happened Russia reached out to Boris Johnson and requested a hearing with the UN security council. The request was denied on the bases it wasn’t urgent. So people are supposedly murdered and an official decides it’s not urgent. However, the facts that were inconvenient didn’t stop the UN from voting to suspend Russia from its se...

Food Crisis Future

  Once again we have to discuss our food future. Below will be article links as always which I am basing my opinions. I am looking at this blatant stupidity in America Canada and Mexico, South America, and Europe. People are being told what they can and can’t do with their property. I had a response to a video review I did for A Year Without the Grocery Store. The lady was from Costa Rica and it’s had my mind going every since. Apparently, they aren’t allowed to do this. Having a year’s worth of food in your home is being discouraged across the world.  Let’s start with France. France is seriously considering rationing liquid natural gas (LNG). Yeah! You will only be allowed to use so much LNG a day in your home and that’s it. They will either have a hot bath/shower or they will heat their home and eat. Given how expensive things are getting, I doubt they will eat out so they can heat their home. So I suppose offices are going to get a little smelly with the people bathing once...

Propaganda by Edward Bernays Chapter 10: Art and Science

  "In the education of the American public toward greater art appreciation, propaganda plays an important part." Edward Bernays  When I read that quote I have to say it rang true. A few years ago there was a guy named James Franco. I have no clue where he came from. But sucked as an actor. His art was everywhere as well. If kissing the right ass in Hollywood gets you front and center then this guy just hit the jackpot. Then he dropped out of sight. Just like that, he was gone.  This pattern of behavior is repeated time and again. Build up an artist, push them down everyone's throat and let blow away in the wind. Use them until they are of no use. It seems to be a common tactic in American society. Now for the science part. Science is subject to test. These tests can be repeated multiple times. Scientists look for consistent results that prove something fact and not.  https://youtu.be/geVXA2kUTzc

Easter Menu

  So far you have the decorations done, games for kids to do both inside and outside. Also, you have asked to borrow things you will need. Since you are hosting the dinner, and you have the guest list with the dishes each person will bring if they are going to. Now you have a list of everything that needs to be picked up and from who.  It’s time to set your menu. Now that you have a list of traditional and new dishes that favorites. Let’s go. Prime rib, ham, or lamb. Which does your family fancy? Desserts? What about treats for the kids? Below will be links that you can go to for ideas.  Easter Dinner Side Dishes https://www.passionforsavings.com/easter-dinner-side-dishes/ SIMPLE AND FESTIVE EASTER DINNER RECIPES https://www.31daily.com/simple-festive-easter-dinner-ideas/ 100 FESTIVE EASTER DESSERTS https://www.prudentpennypincher.com/75-easy-festive-easter-desserts/ Next week will be deciding what store to go to.

Propaganda by Edward Bernays Chapter 9: Propaganda In Social Service "The great enemy of any attempt to change men's habits is inertia. Civilization is limited by inertia." Edward Bernays

  "The great enemy of any attempt to change men's habits is inertia. Civilization is limited by inertia." Edward Bernays  The next three chapters are short. Good! I am ready to move on to the next book. Social services are the focus of this chapter. I can say this chapter has been well taught. Edward Bernays would be proud of the current generation of propagandists. They can sell anything from gum to war.  Humanitarian aid and corridors are currently what's being sold for victims of the conflict between NATO/US and Russia. Of course, there's a push-pull aspect of propaganda. One report will have NATO/US as the ones delivering humanitarian aid. Another report says the opposite. Then we have European Union members fighting to allow refugees from Eastern Europe into Europe. Never mind that they are contributing to the problem. That's not a part of the social service via propaganda.  Like campaigns of the past, only the problem was talked about. Not those causing ...
