Something is happening Mr Denier

Photo by Hilary White

The photo shows dried up lakes in the Canadian North. Lakes that have been in balance for centuries. I use the analogy to smoking, whose harm was coincidentally denied for decades using the same tactics and in many cases the same people as climate change deniers. Smokestacks and tailpipes are the worlds cigarettes. Deniers will say man can not harm something as big as the earth, just like a little tobacco could not harm something as massive as a human. But the fact is man puts out way more gas than volcanoes, and no one denies that a single volcano like Krakatoa changed the world climate in dramatic and immediate fashion. I fear we have passed a tipping point and will have to ride this change to the bottom and hope that a thousand years from now the earth can recover again. And please please you mad scientists do not inflict any of your terra forming schemes on our only home.

Killing the Blues

Why don't more artists cover John Prine?
The credits on the CD do not have Prine as the songwriter, but if you google the song he is. Blame the Lawyers



If you wan to learn how to play this song, a written by John Prine

Affordable Metal Roofing

I follow home construction trends and innovations. Two staples of home construction IMHO should be banned, asphalt shingles and vinyl siding. Affordable replacements now exist. Metal roofs are warranted 55 years and should last indefinitely. The cost of a 50 year fiberglass backed shingle may still be lower but I expect in a hundred years three actual replacements.

Fiberglass faux stone on the other hand would be my choice of siding.

Bruce Lee 75th Anniversary Action Figure

Wow, quite a change from my old GI Joes. More plastic at Art Asylum

Person of the year

Thinking Aboot the possibility that Miley Cyrus could be Time Magazines person of the year. Time magazine and their ilk are like some kind of phantom appendage that we can feel but no longer have any use. I consider myself extraordinarily informed, and have not read a hard copy of Time in ten years and might have looked at it on line once in the past five years, and that was only related to an entertainment story. But I remember when Life and Time where the last word on critical thought. Unfortunately for both companies and society in general critical thought no longer wins most popular at the thought beauty pageant. Its disgusting to watch national news broadcasts with at least one item of things in your fridge will kill you,  and always end with some heroic nobody who deals with a universal problem as most would.  Marketers have found that just like they can sell damaging to the body sugar and salt stimulants to our taste experience, they  can sell false intellectual stimulation damaging to the mind to make us feel informed. Want to rebel and be radical, don't get immunized.

Life is a struggle. The Disney circle of life is real. That's a fact the manipulators exploit endlessly to hack the synopses of our lizard brain interface. Humans are animals and share every basic programming structure as the simplest of creatures. Do squirrels and mice fall in love and look at the best nest provider as the one most likely to entice. They do not as far as I can see fight for females like Caribou, Moose and Malibu. I really dont know about dolphins and whales and how smart they are.  For sure they have never manipulated their reality to make a submarine.  Humans are magnificent in their ability to strip down mystery, and even the things they never wondered about to make an understanding of the human condition. The human condition has never been better, but the human condition is not great. The first problem with the human condition is overpopulation. Because we are so smart, so sentient we can breed unnaturally. When other species fuck to much nature corrects, for better or worse humans have hacked the code and are out of control. However in the past humans have been restrained by resources and many a great civilization based upon faith has petered out.

Today we are almost God depending upon the particle

and the Virgin birth is already in the living rooms

of people with enough wealth. But the fact remains

you can not take more than you put back

this is a constraint, a natural push back

Its the law of conservation of energy

its the girl of your dreams going away

Its something we should be taught

in school, so when we

vote we do not elect

a person riding on

the Flintstone was a reality

show platform.

Back to Miley. This is a total push to capitulate.

Cant sing well, looks like hell

a new world Joan of Arc

Can work the public

like a heart attack

in her near nudes

an actual flesh domes

Its so shocking

I will make her album

number one.

I am so old

I do not know

what modern beauty holds

I know for example

that do to woody tomcats

feed to the millions

at fast food restaurants

real tomatoes make

these consumers

spit out those nutrients

because they are different

Change is different

and as a survival skill

change was all about

the pioneers getting the arrows

and the smart people

patenting those

peculiar behaviors.

The future is all about desentizing the past.

What was what considered normal should now be a crime.

People should stand in line proving they can be true.

I warn you right now

and Hitler proved it true

a highly intelligent cultured populist is

as venerable to a committed psychopath

as making oxygen is to trees

Given history it should seem so prosaic

all those dilators

all those creator of human

misery where less happy

then a pensioner in a

house of cats

without a favorable

breeze.

History has proven

to take the crown

or event to be given one

does not in the long term please

people are a simple folk

and when you try and merge

high tech or low tech authority

with a position its guaranteed

to bleed,

Back to the topic

who can succeed.

So with this noble

sacrament in my heart

I say Edward Snowdon

is the man indeed,

No man or woman

has sacrificed so much

just to tell us

the way we

look at the world

was hypocrisy

bundled with so much.

Next year one of Kims Kardasinms

plastic breasts will person of the year, and

for at least 399 days we will speculate could the other

breast usurp this geometry.

Listen citizens to the rabble of default

there is no solution

government itself is at fault

No that's not the way

government was constructed

in old England to keep

the lords at bay

and yes they could

make a fortune easily

exploiting the citizens

that gave them hegemony

Think life is great and yoiu

should not hesitate

wake up Zombie

you are but a slave

and the powers that be

will manipulate you

into an early grave

and calculate over

that event how

much profit

they had from your existence

and how they can squeeze

a few more . more whatever

from your directly related

totally measly programmed

decedents score.

If your worried about war with Iran or China your sorely misguided the war  is at your door.

Dead Silence Computer Case Fans

Better implements for a computer build are always of interest. I like ASUS, Intel, Cosair and Fractal Design, but these chassis fans might make the list. Thou some swear by Noctua.

Letter 44:Buy Superman Issue # 1 for only a dollar

Of course that's not possible, but there is a good possibility that Letter 44 issue number one is the next big first edition collectible, IMHO it will be bigger than The Walking Dead. Letter 44 is about secret history. In summary the new president of the United States gets a letter from the last one telling of Aliens building something huge in the asteroid belt.

If you want to buy be careful, Issue one first edition is sold out and they have printed a second edition. Normally second editions are worthless, but I have not heard of a graphic novel having a immediate reprint, so there may still be some value in the second edition, and issue number two goes on sale today, and its a first printing.

I have to put a plug in for Pulp Comics. Totally old school and totally up school. 

Breaking News Letter 44 headed to the TV. Issue one on eBay seems to be around twenty dollars. Issue one Walking Dead in NM condition on E bay is around two thousand dollars, consider yourself informed.

Eight Biggest Allied Mistakes of WW2

I would add bombing Nagasaki. And agree with Kurt Vonnegut Jr that the fire bombing of Dresden was not only a mistake it was a war crime. Of course easy to say looking way back in time.

E Car out of the box

This battery car has a trailer with a gas generator. So with a little inconvenience no more range anxiety. Its one way to have your battery cake and eat your unlimited range at the same time. Around town leave the trailer at home. Its a really cool solution that has been towed around for decades. See all the details at Jalopnik.

The brains behind this and much of the EV world is AC Propulsion.

Formula for Winning

Nobody is entirely bad or completely good. Okay Harper is an exception. But Chocula whipped this team to gCHuck levels but the defensive logic remains. Goat may smell like blue cheese but in retrospect he made some great moves.
Time slides like TFS on a two on one, and the best way to defeat it is to not compromise. If you were take an advanced digit scale and measure a Stanley cup winner by the kilogram of heart, that would give any GM the diet needed to bring his will to victory. The good news is that there has never been more talent available. Thats why most NHL games look like the conclusion of an action movie between Bruce Lee and Jason Statham. Ten years ago it was just get some good players and hope for the best. Now its down to sizing up DNA and putting a girl with big breast behind the glass.

Interactive Like a Rolling Stone a must do

I did not flip through all the channels on this interactive version of the Bob Dylan classic. However every one was great, Bob is singing and everyone from a BBC news anchor to contestants on the Bachelor are mouthing the lyrics with suitable visuals accompaniment. Its all part of the marketing for a new collection of Dylan's masterworks. Be fore warned even though 14 of the albums have been remastered, there is some controversy about the sound quality. It should have been released in 24 bit high res audio, guess they are going to go back to the trough of Dylan fans to sell the same old songs once again in the future. If you want to sample some digital downloads go here. I sampled a few tunes, some sounded a bit harsh but Tommy wow!

Nov 22, 1963

Like most I do not believe the official version of either the Kennedy Assassination or 911. After all these years its very unlikely a clean story of what happened in Daley Plaza will emerge. The magic bullet strains credulity. This copper jacketed bullet  "If so, this bullet traversed 15 layers of clothing, 7 layers of skin, and approximately 15 inches of tissue, struck a necktie knot, removed 4 inches of rib, and shattered a radius bone. The bullet was found on a gurney in the corridor at the Parkland Memorial Hospital, in Dallas, after the assassination" .Yet the bullet seems to have lost no mass, and the Governor still has lead fragments in his body. Who ever heard of a bullet falling out of a victim?  This is an interesting and compelling new look that asks you who do you believe, the Warren Commission or your own lying eyes?



Lots of books finger LBJ, and some believe he and GHWB were close.
Just ask yourself, how realistic is it for LBJ to not run for a second term?
Was Bob Woodward a CIA plant? Was Watergate a false flag operation designed to control Nixon? Why was Nixon in Dallas the day of the assassination and who maneuvered him there?

Fight Back

when time is on your side

you walk a path so wide

every tree is something

you can topple because

it will fall on you not me

sometime someway this goes away

but for others this feeling is here to stay

and you know what

and you know why

and you know where

and you know what

and you know that when

is everyday the sun shines

so what to do when

your house is fine

but the landloard

has hard soles in

his soft shoes

We are prisoners of

the attack

the way forward

is to aggressively

fight back

End of the Road

More songs about buildings and food

is that not what the talking heads said

now twenty years later its

all we should be talking about

this endless stream to taking

is about to come to to an abrupt

halt

Finical manipulation can

no longer put food on the table

in lands where climate change

has decided the growth must die

Bunker down or move up

we are on fire

we know it

but the powers that be

spend billions to deny it

Paradise Found

I was going to the sand

and I thought about it

for a very long time

Hawaii is place

that is out of time

its just paradise

as defined in the

contemporary mind.

 Been there done that

would not disagree

but if I won the lottery

it would be days of lays

for you and me.

Who Rules?

I am singing I am in full voice

this world is the best of the worst

so tell me know

and do mont comports

what is the problem

that most vexes the experts

Its the hidden economy

that dominates despite the obvious

insanity

Yep some people they prey

upon the body politic

its their great payday

When a talking point

about businesses

is key to a new front

about living

we should all be

afraid that the mob

is picking and choosing

where we will have a suitable grave

They are bad boys always and again

and I see no evidence

that the theory they control the government

is just some one saying when/

Slaves rise up

I am exhausted clicking that mouse

twenty four hours a day

Yes I tried a touch screen

but it was worse

my need for up to date

information has changed

from a blessing to a curse

Like really what do I care

about an explosion in

Pakistani when my own situation

in a personal way is way worse

So deflect and compensate

the world you live in is not the worst

Is this the message we should all accept

you could be a slave so take that twelve dollar job

and hope it will evolve

Storage for a big rock singer

InYeah I want to wrap my arms around her, I want to hold her, tight in this world ofsilcone ant botock makes me want to hold her tight, she is a woman that not needs some chemical compromise.  Looking at brides I see so much honesty,

so when the deed is done, why do alterations on the chosen one?

I gotta tell you I have been married for multiple decades

an I would never brag about the outflow

that one or another

did not juggle

like  a circus show

in Las Vegas

making the salient point surrender

some kind of moot point of law'

that makes appointees judges irrelevant

because of I can not rule

on my own daughters extravagance

how can I ever pay pack.

Thinking Aboot the end of death

How am I going to occupy all those hours

from now till the time

I die

Thats the question that our rapidly

decreasing chances of mortality

is fetching

Bordom and backgammon

and and and Golf

they do not fill the gap

when you are a high achiever

watching Oprah does not fill the gulf

Men like to fuck and fight

and when your old

both are fraught with danger

when you can not perform

and it makes us mad

because our bones

are so old

How will society compensate

for a generation that will

not take a place

in the ground we used to anticipate

We gotta Queen that might live to 99

In every Hamlet whats going to happen

when that's all that is going on all the time

Mericans pulling strings in Canada

So now we know JFK did everything possible to defeat Diefenbaker. So ask yourself what did GWB do to bring Harper to power? How big was Reagan in the Mulroney years. Canada crying US tears,

Articial Craton

I have lived with Jew and Muslim and lived to blog about it. My point is that anyone who tells you something about a group is misguided. Its an easy target but its not the truth. The truth is humans are like chimps, we all like to swing our arms around and love our families. Any aggressive behavior is part of humans unatural comprise. So help me God that's what make us human. And by the way I do not believe in God.

Problem with the People

If you read what I say you will get where I sleep.
NOt that the people are harmleess
in the manger were I bleep
cause bull droppings from;
goat or sheep is still the same shise
So knowing that what to do
in the great middle east
the focus of attention from the reccrding of
some medieval feast.
Today we struggle to find some
moral eqivincaly between the
dot com entepueou
and the intellectual thief/
NO one wants to understand
thier lifesyle is on the
firing line.
So easy to kill
so hard to undestand
somewhere thee is  a place
where making the business of humankind
is superior to making
your grandchildren into
the killing kind.

How stupid is hate
when you tell your
children its a portal
to heaven gate

Blame Santa Cllase

So many people believe in some fairy tale,  I just gotta say.

Anyone who has a problem with the JEWS has a problem with themselves.

By the force of nature Jews have always been fiscal conservatives, and that lifesyle put them into the ovens. I love modern Germany and Modern Austria, but intrinsic to the state their remains

some grandfathers son

that still believes

what his parents taught

him from a young age

the fact that your DNA

leads to a world without comprise

So looking at redemption

I see a prison for free thought

we are all going to be in jail

because we created a world

were one idiot can make us all crazy

In the old days we would have said insane

now its exclusively a national security explian.

The Sopranos tells the story of our powerless lives

In a marathon session I have just finished re watching the Sopranos. If you are a fan and confused about the conclusion, I offer clarity. Reading this will save you a week of solid viewing. In terms of wisdom a week of solid viewing of the Sopranos is equal to a lifetime of experience. Spoiler, I tease till the end.

Entertainment is the opposite of boredom. We seek experiences that create a thrill in our minds. The most ancient and most egalitarian source of positive mental stimulation is story telling.  Powerful creators have always fed an insatiable mass of human need. As we increasingly observe humans are easily entertained. We have become a mean in a statistical sense population of non discriminating entertainment addicts. Rap music and reality TV are proof that our entertainment addiction will purchase trash because just like junk food its perfectly engineered to appeal with force surrounding our lizard brains.

What do the content creators stripped of agents, consultants and focus groups want to say? Every picture tells a story, every story has a secret message. At its core entertainment is photograph of the artists view of the world. The artists of reality TV show we live in a world of hustlers and posers and alpha victors. The artists of rap tell the world there is no justice and life is so unfair nihilism is the best religion.

Exploring both these themes David Chase created the Sopranos.  Entertainment no matter the sophistication leaves a mark upon the enjoyer. Every breath you take, every move you make, every thought you create, I am controlling you. The Sopranos was all about how we control.  Children damaged by parents control mechanism, society damaged by the mobs easy access to our Maslov motivators.

The Sopranos is the latest successor to the seminal novel Gulliver's Travels. Most thought it was a children's book, but it changed the world. Similarly the Sopranos has created a backlash against corrupt government.  Edward Snowdon grew up watching the Sopranos.

What I would like to see is a series about good government, something from Hong Kong, Singapore or Germany.  Society is a team sport, and in North America and the UK we have opportunist nihilists as coaches. I lived in Austria for 7 years, I have lived the equivalent of years in Asia, I have seen South America and the Arab middle east. Obviously I love Canada its one of the best nations in the world, but its not the best. Germany, Austria, Denmark, Scandinavia and the Netherlands are measurabley better countries. I know Austria well, addition to the  actual Holocaust they had a nihilistic holocaust.  How did such a perfect society sink to such a petty thuggish existence with pride? Gobbels told us it was through entertainment.

The Sopranos is great art, it tells you to have situational awareness of your own mobish activities, and see what destruction of humanity is likely if you follow you lizard brain genetic programming. Its not sci fi that we will get a be a slave injection. Look at China, six thousand years of tyranny, it can not happen again, bullshit, fight this will all your heart.

Because our addled brains can no longer extrapolate in a satisfying conclusion the end of the Sopranos caused a spike in Pharma stocks. However knowing what we know like some Greek God observing from above watching for a second time makes everything crystal clear.

Pauly becomes Phil Leatardo. Tony becomes Junior. AJ becomes  Christopher. Carmello becomes a Mike Holmes version of Pussy's wife. Medow is the second wife of failed mayoral candidate Wiener

I have Ketchup in my Veins

National security starts with food security. For a decade we have been giving it away. The latest casualty is Ketchup. The streets should be red protesting this decision.

Last fitting for the whitie tighty

In fact it did not fit that tight, and who choose white to deal with a dirt spot?
After a lifetime, a half century of living white and tight I am now in a coloured and form fitting camp. Yes I am wearing dark blue spandex and mostly cotton boxer briefs, and I would not be blogging about it if it was not not a grip of the future.

We are all Sopranos, and please dont be Ritchie

This is a work in progress, but its so grand I wanted everyone to feel my Astral Works.

The Sopranos

How long has it been since Shakespeare died? The Sopranos will never have the impact of Shakespeare. The reason is as Malcom Gadwall has recently idendified and everyone who was a wiseguy had known for centuries is it is better to be a big fish in a small pond.

If you can rule this pond by whatever means maybe you should move up a few million liters. What is so interesting about our modern politics is we are led by people who have never been a big fish.

Getting back to the Sopranos. Its all about big fish. Its all so perfectly described. Its all so real that no one watching has to hit the wanna believe button on their suspension of disbelief. The interactions between characters are spot on. Watching the Sopranos is like well edited found video. Gopro in Jersey.

What is the greatest piece of art that humans have ever created?  I do not have to do a poll it will be by a large margin the MONA LISA. I am by no means an art expert. By good chance and good fortune I have seen many of the greatest works of two d artists. IMHO most artists are saying to you NaNaNa Na ow. Your going to pay me to decorate your home, like you can not do that yourself, you got to much money my friend.

I can appreciate beauty. My wife is beautiful. Would the world judge her as the most beautiful women in the world? Admittedly not, the world has not been exposed to her, and she does not have a pub list. Despite that she is the most beautiful women in the world to me. Every women is beautiful thats something I believe, and I would hope every women believes every man is handsome.  However our modern media machine is working overtime to convince you that you could have done better. A person is a total package, looks are only an entry point.

The Sopranos was an entry point for the world into the way the world works. If you think that world was totally fiction go with the virgin birth. Look at Quebec today, could it have been a offshoot of the Sopranos that ended in 2007? Billions of dollars of illegal drugs are traded in the streets today, but thank GOD no one in power allows this. Otherwise there would be trillions of dollars working both ways, but wait who has all that money? Just watch Boardwalk Empire and think about that most repeated but most ignored phrase, history repeats itself.

You can not legislate good behavior. If we could travel about on a five year mission like captain Kirk on Star trek we could learn something. The trouble with tribbles episode was all about addiction. 

price of content

I was at a store
and I saw something
I knew would not
make me snore
and that is so preious
in this age of incredible bore
But why do they have to bust my balls
and ruin my credit limit to view
something ten years old
thats the question and leads to
my suggestion
these are greedy motherfuckers
that do not care
but in our world
the place where we live
ten year old cultural experiences
are a step ahead
from old Hollywood.

Libtards Seven Deadly Sins

Seven deadly sins of being a libtard

1) not believing in a Skygod. Every text we have says the world is 6000 years old, only a libtard could not believe the Flintstones was not a documentary.

2) Not believing in natural law. Both Mormons and Muslims at one time justified polygamist relationships as Gods will. If you look at nature that's a very solid position. Look at all the advanced mammals that have a harem. Hmm that would lead to a defence of evolution so lets stop there.

3) Practicing best practices. Like a blood transfusion will save your life, but sorry I gotta die cause its my thing. Immunizations are like so scientific only a libtard would get one.

4)Using Moral Equivalency as a talking point. Che Guverra is a bloodthirsty communist, but Pinochle, the Shah of Iran or Ferdinand Marcos were statesmen under pressure.

5) Thinking egalitatrisim is a virtue. No we should be ruled by Rob Ford and George W Bush. We should be ruled by hemophiliacs because look at all the money that will pour in for the cure.

6) Expanding the natural rights we all agree upon to include right to eat, shelter and health care. God did not expect you to live if your parents were both assholes and had bad DNA.

They are all sci fi because sci fi is the greatest form of literature ever.
Books I have not read are highlighted in blue.

Rank	Book Reddit Rating	Book Steve Rating	Reasons
1	To your Scattered Bodies Go by Philip Jose Farmer	1984 - George Orwell	1984 is the most influential Sci Fi book.  Surely the most widely read.
2	The Shadow of the Torture by Gene Wolf	Brave New World by Aldus Huxley	A companion piece for 1984. These two books define the future.
3	Anathem by Neal Stephenson	Hyperion by Dan Simmons	Most of the best are the first book in a series. Hyperion is the best series in Sci Fi.
4	Revelation Space by Alastair Reynold	Crake and Onyx  by Margaret Atwood	I am not a huge fan of the author but this book hits every note and I fear predicts the future just like 1984 did.
5	Left Hand of Darkness by Ursala K LeGuin	The Reality Dysfunction by Peter F Hamilton first novel in the Nights Dawn Trilogy	I like Ursala but she is not going to make my 25. Hamilton creates an unmatched space opera. I am only going to give one spot to an author on this list but like others he could have numerous selections included
6	I Robot by Issac Asimov	Foundation by Issac Asimov	Issac Asimov is one of the heros of Sci Fi and Foundation is his greatest work. Similar to LOTR in scope and impact.
7	Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut		He must be on this list and I wont quibble. He, Harry Harrison and Douglas Adams by far the funniest people in Sci Fi history.
8	Contact by Carl Sagan	Glory Road by Robert Heinlen	My all time favorite author who has stood the test of time since I was 8 years old. I could have put 25 of his 32 books on this list.
9	Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson		The Sopranos of Sci Fi, not because its about the Mob but because this trilogy is so finely crafted.
10	Pandora's Star by Peter F Hamilton
11	Mote in Gods Eye by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle	Sundiver by David Brin. Book one of the uplift series.	Another magical series about genetic uplifting of animals to human intelligence levels.
12	A Canticle for Lebowitz	Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C Clarke	Never got Canticle, had to read it for a course and close to hated it. Clarke is another who could fill this list. The Rama series rubs your face in the dirt of humanity, but we still dont learn.
13	Excession by Iain M Banks	Consider Phleebas by Iain M Banks	Banks writing is better than his imagination but he did create the comp belling universe of the  culture. I may have ranked him higher than deserved.
14	Starship Trooper by Robert Heinlen	Bill the Galactic Hero by Harry Harrison	Could have picked the Stainless Steel Rat series, but Bill is a mocking of Starship Troopers and hilariously funny.
15	Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K Dick	The Man in the High Castle	No one has had more books made into movies including perhaps the best Sci Fi movie of them all  Totall Recall.
16	Ringworld by Larry Niven		If you see his name on the cover of a book read it.
17	2001 a Space Odyssey by Arthur C Clarke	Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson	Barely Sci Fi but his body of work matches the best.
18	The Forever War by Joe Haldeman	Lord Valentines Castle by Robert Silverberg. The Majpoor Chronicles	Joe does not make my list but this was a great book by an original thinker.  Silverberg is another author who never disappoints. This series is as vast as the galaxy.
19	Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson	To your scattered bodies go by Philip Jose Farmer The Riverworld Series	Reddit picked it as number one and I could have as well. There have been a couple of attempts to make it a HBO like ser
20	Neuromancer by William Gibson
21	Hyperon by Dan Simmons
22	Foundation by Issac Asimov
23	Enders Game by Orson Scott Card
24	Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
25	Dune by Frank Hebert
26	Amber Series by Rodger Zelany
