Strange times have descended upon the earth, we now live in a world where the "Greed Monsters" rule and children, seniors, workers are but disposable impediments......

It's simply a goddamned fact that stephen ["OMG! Where's the Closet?!?"] harper desecrated every single basic foundational principle of our Westminster System of Parliamentary Government. He committed election fraud to steal a majority. He sabotaged the work of parliamentary committees. He used public resources, such as the Canada Revenue Agency, as weapons to attack his ideological adversaries.

Donald Trump is disgusting. He's a racist, misogynist, hypocritical, spoiled, stupid grifter. His tax policy, his health care "policy," his environmental policies, his immigration policies, ... they're destructive, murderous, cold, evil. He's scum.

I think Bernie Sanders is too old to run again. I'm on record as saying that I want Elizabeth Warren and Tulsi Gabbard to run. [Neither of them are perfect but Warren with power will be great on economic policy and Gabbard's commitment to not wasting military lives for the petro-state will be an improvement on foreign policy. They would be a big step in the right direction. And, it's most likely

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Over at Crooks and Liars, I linked two pieces. First, at the Conversation, "The 1938 Kindertransport saved 10,000 children but it’s hard to describe it as purely a success": One of the UK’s most significant child rescue efforts began on December 1, 1938: the Kindertransport.

The campaign comes as part of a three-year initiative by China Customs to tighten security at borders and halt imports

A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

Project Blue Book - Paul Hynek's Words
A Different Perspective / 24d
I was more than a little disturbed by the latest episode of Project Blue Book . The case, based loosely, and I do mean loosely, on the Flatwoods, West Virginia, landing of September 12, 1952, was barely recognizable. They portrayed it as a crash and left out many of the witnesses, focusing on three… a mother and her two boys. Dr. J. Allen Hynek What disturbed me was the first interaction between

History's Project Blue Book - The Lubbock Lights
A Different Perspective / 17d
Well, I’m in a bit of a pickle here. I confess that I do like History’s Project Blue Book . When I look at it as entertainment with a bit of history thrown in, I find the show to be intriguing. However, when I look at it as a historical document, I see the many flaws in it… not in the story telling, but in the history that it is so loosely based on. I can, of course, point out the flaws in the Lu

History's Project Blue Book - Chiles-Whitted
A Different Perspective / 11d
Well, they’ve finally done it. Slipped completely off the rails. The latest episode bears almost no relation to the sighting on which it was based. I mean (SPOILERS) that it opens with Hynek either reviewing what was the Chiles-Whitted sighting in The Chiles-Whitted Illustrations. 1948, or having been on the aircraft to see it himself. It’s not overly clear which it was, but I would guess Hynek w
X-Zone Broadcast Network - Paul Hynek
A Different Perspective / 10d
In a change of pace, rather than interview, I chatted with Paul Hynek about History’s Project Blue Book . This all came about, as I have mentioned, because I wondered how the Hynek family was reacting to the program. Many of us thought that J. Allen Hynek would be upset by the way he was presented. Paul thought his father would sit there, a big bowl of popcorn in his lap, and enjoy what he was wa

What's that coming over the hill, is it a monster? No, it's Nigel Farage's newest vanity vehicle, The Brexit Party.

Unwise his comments may be from the standpoint of diplomatic protocol, it's difficult to disagree with Donald Tusk.

It's a funny old game. The problem with politics these days, at least for some, is there's too much of it. Just ask Brenda. But it wasn't very long ago, less than half a decade in fact, that the best political brains and some MPs were worried there was too little .

The search for technosignatures that could flag the presence of extraterrestrial cultures has accelerated in recent times with projects like Glimpsing Heat from Alien Technologies at Penn State and numerous papers.

Perspectives Beyond the Moon

Today we re-enter the realm of perspective-altering photographs, images that open new vistas in our early reconnaissance of the Solar System.

The Soviet moon probe Luna 3 took the first photographs of the far side, and wa
Refining the Shape of the Milky Way
Centauri Dreams / 4d
Figuring out the shape of things — where to place what we see in the sky in a 3-D representation — has always been challenging. We’re looking out at a disk of stars from well within it, and it wasn’t until the 1920s and the work of Edwin Hubble that we began to see there were other such disks, not nebulae at all but galaxies in their own right, some bigger than ours. Interestingly, Immanuel Kant

Tax the Hell Out of the Rich, When They’re Alive and When They’re Dead
In These Times / 2d
An incredible thing has happened in 2019: We’re actually talking seriously about taxing the rich. And the debate is not over whether to do it, but how. Within the month of January, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders proposed separate measures that would, respectively, increase top marginal tax rates on income, levy a direct tax on wealth and interrupt inte
Why Is the Political Establishment So Afraid of Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal?

At a time of widespread environmental devastation, much of the U.S. political establishment appears allergic to large-scale public projects that would solve the climate crisis through directly challenging the economic status quo. This attitude was perhaps best encapsulated by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s glib mockery of the Green New Deal plan laid out Thursday morning by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-C

Socialism For The Rich
Northern Reflections / 13min
Donald Trump has declared that he's the enemy of socialism. But, Robert Reich writes that what he stands for is socialism for the rich. Capitalism is for everyone else: In the conservative mind, socialism means getting something for doing nothing. That pretty much describes the $21bn saved by the nation’s largest banks last year thanks to Trump’s tax cuts, some of which went into massive bonuses

Just a brief comment today about Paul Dewar. He was a rare politician. He stood firmly for what he believed. But he could also rise above the fray. We used to call such people statesmen -- or stateswomen. Politics was in his blood. He inherited the gene from his mother.
