The Disinformation War

One of the current events-heists-rigamarole-stunts-etc being pulled on Americans is the war on disinformation (or information) - whatever disinformation (or information) is. I say that, because disinformation seems to vary in meaning depending upon whatever political entity is speaking. I've certainly learned a lot about how to detect and disregard disinformation (of all sorts and kinds) from the people here at Caucus 99% who bring such disinformation to our attention and discuss it, for which I'm very grateful.

Welcome. Those famous words were attributed to Captain John Parker at Lexington

I was given some free tickets to the Home and Outdoor Living show at the Portland Convention Center this past Sunday, so earthling2 and I went to see if there was anything new since it has been five years since we last attended.

The Bully's Stick is Flaccid

I think we are close to the top of the sanction escalator of economic control, you know the modern day siege we use against countries which won't do our bidding. The USD is quickly being supplanted with 100+ countries de-dollarizing and trading in their own currencies. Lula, while in China this week, questioned the use of dollars. The BRICS+ are establishing their own bank with Former Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff at its head. It will take time for the system to unwind, but there's a new alliance building across the world of countries who see through the hypocrisy of US superiority with the world's largest prison population, homeless filled urban areas, student debt at 1.75 trillion, and medical bills as the number one cause of bankruptcies.

Afternoon folks!

Another week, more great stuff... We've got a compilation of some classic Muddy Waters followed by a compilation of Pee Wee Crayton's better known material. After that there's a somewhat jazzier album from Santana, blues rock from Foghat and Rory Gallagher, country rock from Michael Nesmith and we finish the week off with The Tubes.

Enjoy and have a great weekend!
