David Beasley, the Chief of World Food Programme, warned that “a wave of hunger has turned into “a tsunami”.

In the west, empty headed puppets are preferred as the leadership class. They're so much easier to control and manipulate. Any thinking candidates who will try to serve the people will be maligned, derided, and ignored. What brings this to mind is both Tulsi's resignation from the democratic party, and a clip below of Jeremy Corbyn. Both of whom if given a chance would be competent leaders, IMO. As a result they've both been smeared and sidelined. I find Putin and Xi competent leaders working for the good of their own people rather than corporate profit. Contrast them with the likes of Joementia, Liz Truss, Scholz, or Macron the banker.

Afternoon folks!

We've got some blues with a New Orleans flavor this week, compilation albums from Smiley Lewis and The Meters. There's also some Ten Years Afer and Stone The Crows in the blues-rock department. There's some stuff from two Carlene Carter albums, one mostly recorded with Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe. For a further change of pace, we've got Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen and Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks.

Enjoy!

Living through the tough times of string of crises a few years ago created a desire for to once again have those older relatives who lived through the depression and World War II back in my life. They projected calmness and initiated actions to restabilize life into a new pattern. Then I realized my chronological age was now similar to theirs when I was a youth. Their best qualities should be reflected in my actions and thoughts. So a new way to interact within the world was created.

Happy Friday everyone. Post any photos memes or music you like.

Last weekend I was in Utah visiting family (thank you, Janis for hosting while I was away). The trees were in their fall colors, something we don't get here in San Diego. While there I meet up with Snoopy and Sam. We had a nice conversation over lunch at Shooting Star Saloon. Afterwards we took Sam To Pineview Reservoir to play in the water. All in all a fun day and a fun trip.

Stop the war you fucking lunatics.
