Losing Control
Western powers are losing their grip on global dominance. The rise of the BRICS+ provides other countries (especially in the global south) with an alternative to the IMF slavery through indebtedness program. Will these countries be paying off western debt with yuan? I understand the IMF is now accepting yuan as payment (as are the Saudi's and many others). However, this slip of power accompanies a rising sense of desperation, and desperate times lead to desperate measures. Suddenly there's a new strain of omicron COVID (which manifests like a cold), but be afraid, very afraid. Leaders blatantly lie...Ukraine is winning our proxy war! Indict your leading competitor and suppress your crimes using the DOJ. Rational voices are suppressed, and the censorship industrial complex goes into high gear. So today let's look at these stories and more below the fold...

In 5 weeks irrigation season will be over. I can tuck all the equipment away until next spring. Then take a bit of a break.

They say every picture tells a story. If it evokes an emotion be it joy, sorrow, curiosity, wonder, laughter, anger or any other emotion then it's a story well told.

Open Thread - 09-01-23 - Roots Reprise
Submitted by JtC on Fri, 09/01/2023 - 7:33am
Editor's Note: Welp, here it is Friday morning and I didn't have time to put an open thread together last night, so here's a flashback to an OT I did almost five years ago, back on 10/02/2018, that was titled Roots.
A look at the man little boy behind the curtain, photos included.
By design I've by and large maintained the profile of a mystery man. Today I unmask myself, well, in an erstwhile sense anyway, through the eyes of a little boy growing up in the 50s.
As promised. Here are some photos of me taken just a few short years decades ago. In my family, all males celebrate birthday number two as the Cowboy Suit Birthday. This is my story. The characters are factual, the pictures are authentic and no real animals were harmed in its telling.
