War in Iran

Posted on March 1, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems absurd to go to war with Iran when we have squandered so many opportunities to topple the regime without firing a shot. It’s almost like not killing thousands of boys in war would be unfair or … Continue reading →

The Hydra Of Central Planning

Posted on January 30, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, we are being attacked by a hydra and the more heads we cut off, the stronger it gets. The problem with fighting a hydra is that it has many heads but one heart. All … Continue reading →

Lessons From Iran

Posted on January 11, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, people are people and if you push them far enough, they will erupt. Even a rabbit will bite. I have to wonder if that’s what’s happened in Iran? The recent turmoil with hundreds perhaps … Continue reading →

Pathological Societies

Posted on January 2, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, in a psychopathic society, like Animal Farm… any act of goodwill is taken as a sign of weakness and used against the virtuous. Psychopaths don’t reciprocate, they manipulate. Psychopathic societies are the same. Moreover, … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Another failure of central planning,Bureaucrats in dire need of canning,But not to worry,They’re in a hurry,Corrupting laws and wrongspeak banning. The faction that wants arbitrary rule,They use our Constitution as a tool,Our rights are yanked,Theirs are sacrosanct,And not … Continue reading →

The Corruption Point

Posted on December 24, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, once corruption in government has got to a certain point, we could call it the CP, or Corruption Point, that government is unsalvageable. Why? Because any whistleblower who exposes the corruption will be attacked … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, The elite just want you to know,Their zealots go with the flow,They’re not violent,Just rascally bent,With a penchant for arson and blow. I knew of a central planner Stan,He was a brilliant rock of a man,Smart as a … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, The world is a dangerous place of course,One in which we often have to use force,Come what may,The wise do say,Only a complete fool invites in a Trojan Horse. The media is there to confuse,Or tired and pushing … Continue reading →

Deep State Patsies

Dear Friends, It seems to me, we are almost a year into Trump’s presidency and not one bad actor in the deep state has been punished. Doesn’t that seem odd to you? Had it been the other way around “justice” … Continue reading →

Grassroots Versus Astro Turf

Posted on December 8, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me we live in an AstroTurfed world. Nothing we see is organic. Everything we are allowed to see is fabricated to form and protect a narrative to enable the extraction to continue. When social media … Continue reading →
