If you have not had a chance to watch the video recommended by a couple of C99 members this week Soryang and Pluto's Republic, please take the time.

If time is short, start 43 minutes into the conversation where our evolving policies on China show a sharp split between The State Department and Pentagon regarding China policy. It helps bring clarity to the continual shifting of focus of international relations.

The weather has turned cold. Thankful steady delivery of electricity for the heat pump and wood available for the fireplace. The Crock pot is keeping the cold corner of the kitchen warm while cooking tonight's dinner. Just a few items that caught my interest this week.

If is the 27th annual conference on climate change. Our political, social and business elite get to parade around to show their concern for earth. Demand each and everyone of us acknowledge our guilt of not caring about earth enough and causing its destruction. Plan on methods for each of us to atone for our sins. Conversion to Green Energy is the current mantra. A convenient side effect is limiting development of third world countries by increasing energy costs.

We will know our leaders are serious about actions to address climate change when contributions to habitat destruction, greenhouse gases and pollution for each country include war games and military activities.

The accusation follows the Russian Foreign Ministry’s claim that NATO conducted a military exercise during the summer, close to the location where the undersea explosions occurred.

Writing on its official Telegram channel, the ministry alleged that Royal Navy operatives “took part in planning, supporting and implementing” a “terrorist attack” to blow up the gas pipelines on September 26.

We seem to be at the watch and wait stage of of the major issues around the world. Unable to directly influence any of the major events impacting the rest of our lives. Being flooded with political campaign information. If I do not vote the "correct way" all tragedies of the state, county and its residents are my fault.
