Our farm cat, Ashbutt, has a lot of Maine Coon in his ancestry, and he unquestionably has a mane.

I'd hate to go to war in a ship like that - but men did
Following on from our discussion yesterday about a shipwreck discovered deep beneath the Baltic Sea, and comparing its size to Columbus' three ships that he used to cross the Atlantic, I was taken with the story of USS *Providence* in the Revolutionary War. She was a sloop-of-war, approximately 65 feet in length, with a crew of 54 and carrying 12 four-pounder cannon (just about the smallest naval cannon of their day). Since each cannon usually required a crew of six or more gunners, a crew that small meant that she could fire only one broadside (i.e. the guns on a single side of ... more »

Jeffrey Epstein’s Sick Story Played Out for Years in Plain Sight
This is something that really needs to be addressed. None of this has been unknown for literally years now. He may well not have been particularly public, but he certainly attracted people and that generates whispers. It also goes back to his public case several years ago. You simply do not hide this and you also do not invite him any where any more. No one understands the extent of his depravity, but the sheer scale of his operations is amazing and it was fueled by money from something other than his silly cover stories. He did not even try to actually fake that part. ... more »
the Alternative Media Can Defeat the Mainstream Media - Here's the Game Plan
This article was published back in 2016. We have seen its precepts play out in real time since then and the MSM is now greatly diminished. The guidance it also excellent and using the argument of a balance of probabilities is an excellent way to block blanket dismissal.

What is been blocked is distribution and direct interferance. The alternative media has been defeating the MSM. . *The Alternative Media Can Defeat the Mainstream Media - ... more »
Trade War Spurs Biggest De-Globalization Shift Since The Cold War
The global market is now deep and diverse and far more resilient than imagined. What is key is that the USA is now policing clear predatory Chinese practices. This will shift global investment directly away from China until China cleans up its behavior. The real target is the CCP and this is timely as well. I do not know how this will all shake out, but i do observe that the primary target of USA pressure is Iran for the present. Pressure applied to China is meant to sting and to signal mobilization of wealth into SE Asia and particularly out of China. All this takes time ... more »

This allows new data to be conveniently surface and giving us a slow rollout. It had to happen and the secrecy was getting impossible to sustain.
