The Israeli information blackout serves to keep Battleground Damage Assessment (BDA) from helping Iran with target choices. It's a sound war policy but in this day and age satellite and drone footage gives remarkable damage assessments and cannot be stopped.

The moon has already set here so we were not treated to
any visuals, but it was sure shining full earlier this AM.

March into War
March is the start of meteorological spring, and next week will be very springlike here. Sadly this weekend marks the start of another unprovoked war. Doesn't anyone remember the Iraq WMD lies? Evidently not...because here we go again, and without any logical reason. Russia starts unprovoked wars, we start "preemptive" wars. Yeah right.
The Golden Age of Capitalism -- 1945-2026
Submitted by Cassiodorus on Sat, 02/28/2026 - 3:23pmOkay, so at some point very soon the existing stocks of global oil will be depleted and ther rest of the world will begin to wonder if any of that knowledge the Cubans built up in surviving US embargo conditions survived -- after, of course, Marco Rubio destroys Cuba. We will wonder those things because we will be experiencing those embargo conditions, only there will be no embargo.
Album of the Week 2-28-26
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 02/28/2026 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
This week we start off with a couple of Chicago blues albums, one from guitarist Otis Rush and another, a live album from harmonica player James Cotton with Matt Guitar Murphy and Luther Tucker. After that, we have a rockabillyish sort of compilation album from Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks followed by an album by Stax guitarist Steve Cropper and lots of guests which is a tribute to the 5 Royales. Finishing us up in the diversity department is an album from the band Klaatu that for a brief moment in the mid 70's some loose gossip caused folks to think that it might be a new Beatles album. It's an interesting album nonetheless.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
