It has been Known since the 1956 publication of the true-life non-fiction tome The Door Into Summer that Leonardo Da Vinci was a time traveler.

Therein we learn that he was born in the 20th Century as Leonard Vincent, and was employed as a drafting and architecture instructor at the University of Colorado at Boulder. There he became a willing subject of a colleague’s classified time-travel program, which propelled him some 500 years into the past. This was a primitive time machine, one that could only thrust people, places, and things into the past, or future, but not bring them back. And so Leonard Vincent permanently settled into the 15th Century, as Leonardo Da Vinci.

The reason Da Vinci then spent so much time and effort designing machines and other devices that would not come to fruition for hundreds of years is because he was earnestly attempting to accelerate development of Real Things he had known and experienced when Leonard Vincent in the 20th Century.

All of this is now common knowledge.

What is less well known, I guess maybe because I haven’t told anyone until now, is that Da Vinci’s contemporary and competitor, Michelangelo Buonarroti, was/is also a time traveler.

To paraphrase Bernie Sanders, the more important something is, the less likely the establishment will talk about it.

New Year’s day here brought a gentle, sustained rain we so seriously needed. It was very welcome after two months of relentlessly hot and dry weather.

Thankfully there are writers here who care about US policy of endless war and are willing to post about it.

Always surprising to also find people who have not given up, who have a vision and are working for change -- now.

Remember David Swanson ? He often took it on the chin back at TOP.
Here's an online course that he tweeted about that should be interesting.
