Judge rejects Jan. 6 prosecutor's double standard sentencing
PJ Media: A federal judge blasted U.S. prosecutors seeking excessive sentences for some nonviolent participants in the Capitol riot, pointing to the treatment of BLM rioters as an example of a clear double standard. “I know that the government believes that the January 6th cases are *sui generis* [one of a kind] and therefore can’t be compared to other cases. But I don’t agree,” said U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden. “It does feel like the government has had two standards here, and I can’t abide by that,” he added, noting that before January 6, he couldn’t remember an inst... read more

Public Pensions Take on Private Equity's Opaque Fees?
Sabrina Willmer of Bloomberg reports on private equity’s opaque costs and how they mystify the pensions that pay them: The stewards of billions of dollars in retiree savings are struggling to account for fees charged by one of the wealthiest industries on Wall Street. Investors who put money into a private equity fund expect to pay a management fee as well as a share of their profits to the firm running the fund. But on top of those costs are agreements to cover expenses ranging from dealmaker travel to dinners to news subscriptions. And it’s proving difficult to determine how tho... read more

Is Russia pulling back to regroup?
ISW: ... The Kremlin's claimed withdrawal of forces around Kyiv, which it seeks to portray as a “huge step” towards peace, is a cover for an ongoing redeployment of Russian forces after their failure to take Kyiv. Russian Deputy Defense Minister Colonel-General Alexander Fomin claimed on March 29 that Russia will “drastically reduce military activity in the Kyiv and Chernihiv directions” and provide details on Russia’s claimed withdrawal later this week.[1] Chief Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky falsely framed this claimed withdrawal as a “huge step” toward peace that require... read more

'British Bullshit Corporation' Whitewashes Ukrainian Nazis
*The Orwellian reality of the Beeb should make it the world’s “most busted” propaganda outlet* By Finian Cunningham There is no Nazi presence in Ukraine, the Azov Battalion are merely excellent fighters, and Russian claims of denazifying the regime are cynical falsifications to justify aggression, according to the BBC.

Mitigate the Acidic, Negative Effects of Coffee by Adding This One Ingredient to Your Next Cup
Coffee is one of those products that has a 50/50 split when it comes to health benefits and health risks. While some people do extremely well with it, others feel jittery or experience other side effects that aren’t enough to offset the benefits. What few people realize, however, is that not all coffee is created equal. Caffeine has protective effects against Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, dementia, stroke, and heart disease; it also lowers the risks of oral cancers, and type 2 diabetes.

two-edged in their discrimination
Let the decrees to Pallas Athena, great emissary of Truth, and to the Lords of Karma sound forth the note that legions of light on earth and in heaven stand with drawn swords, two-edged in their discrimination of righteousness, and that they have sworn upon the altar of God the hostility of the white light against every form of tyranny, church and state, that would encroach upon the freedom of the blessed children of every nation to know God and to see Him as He is–the flame of eternal life burning upon the altar of being. -Archangel Gabriel: Pearl 21:51 ………………………………..

Bill Bonner, "Time to Sell!"
*"Time to Sell!"* by Bill Bonner *San Martin, Argentina *- "Time to sell! There are times to weep and times to laugh. And times to buy and times to sell. Yesterday, we heard from former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers. He argued that the Fed has not yet recognized the magnitude of its errors. It kept interest rates too low for too long, failed to see rising inflation, failed to realize that it was not ‘transitory,’ and then failed to take any serious steps to stop it. It was ‘sleepwalking’… while inflation rose to the highest levels in 40 years. Calculated honestly, US inflation m... read more

Has renewable energy reduced our dependence on natural gas?
By Paul Homewood Has renewable energy reduced our dependence on natural gas?

Regime Change has Been the US Goal in Russia for Years
[image: undefined] It was the culminating event of a four-day trip planned at the last minute for the purpose of rallying Europe to the cause of standing up to Russia’s military incursion into Ukraine. Speaking before a large and enthusiastic crowd in the Polish capital of Warsaw, US President Joe Biden concluded his remarks by going off-script. After condemning what he called his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin’s “brutality” in Ukraine, Biden uttered nine words that, in a blink of an eye, made moot whatever else had been accomplished on this trip: “For God’s sake, this man [Puti... read more

Rothbard on Today's Progressive War Jingoism
[image: undefined] Readers of Murray Rothbard's articles and speeches on war collectivism will immediately recognize the progressive pietist fervor surrounding today's progressive war jingoism: everywhere is Ukraine! The atavistic need to analogize today's situation to 1938, with Vladimir Putin as Adolf Hitler and war skeptics as Neville Chamberlain at Munich, is proof of this. The lessons of 1914, where a series of tragic blunders turned a regional conflict into a conflagration across Europe, are far more apposite. The obvious interest for the US is containment of the war as a terr... read more

"What Can We Know?"
What can we know? What are we all? Poor silly half-brained things peering out at the infinite, with the aspirations of angels and the instincts of beasts." - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "Homo sapiens is a spider trying to crawl out of a basin. The higher he crawls, the steeper the hill. Sooner or later, down he goes. So long as he's on the bottom, he can get along quite nicely, but as soon as he starts climbing, he begins to slip. And the higher he climbs the farther he falls. It doesn't matter which direction he tries. He can make civilization after civilization, but every time, long bef... read more
Free Download: Olaf Stapledon, "Star Maker"
"In this passionately social world, loneliness dogged the spirit. People were constantly getting together, but they never really got there. Everyone was terrified of being alone with himself; yet in company, in spite of the universal assumption of comradeship, these strange beings remained as remote from one another as the stars. For everyone searched his neighbor's eyes for the image of himself, and never saw anything else. Or if he did, he was outraged and terrified."

The joys of juggling contractors
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, Miss D. and I were recently paid a sum of money that's been due to us for a long time. We're putting it to work, rather than leaving it in the bank to lose double-digit percentages of its value every year to the ravages of inflation. So far, we've installed a new HVAC system to replace our old, faltering one; bought a new dual-fuel inverter generator for emergency use (something that's likely to become more important as our aging regional and national power infrastructure begins to break down more often - a very real probability); ordered and ... read more
