"Now Cyber Attacks Are Hitting Real Estate"

An Example Of A Real Threat To "Our Democracy" (Or, More Accurately, To Our Constitutional Republic)
* The latest endlessly recurring mantra of Democratic politicians and press is that some position articulated by the opposition is a threat to “our Democracy.” * I suppose that those words must resonate with some people, or otherwise they would not be so endlessly repeated. Of course the statement is fundamentally wrong, because we don’t actually have a “Democracy,” but rather a Constitutional Republic. * Having a Democracy would mean that a 50.1% voting majority can do whatever it wants to the hated 49.9%, including locking the 49.9% permanently out of power. The whole idea of the ... read more
The Lions from Cypress
I skipped leg day at the gym and went hiking on Cypress today. The parking lot had a ton of cars in it and there were a lot of people on the mountain. Thankfully there are lots of different trails so it wasn't crowded. It was nice to get out and get some fresh air. The sky was clear. No smoke from forest firers but it's noticeably cooler. The season is starting to change. Summer went by way too fast. The seasons seem to be racing by. It's easy to lose track of time. Sky chair is closed for construction. If they don't pick up the pace it's not going to be ready for ski season. They t... read more

Sunday Talks, John Ratcliffe Questions the DOJ/FBI Classified Designations in Mar-a-Lago Documents
In this lengthy interview with John Ratcliffe and Maria Bartiromo, the former Director of National Intelligence, the man who has likely seen every document that may have eventually ended up in Mar-a-Lago, is challenging the nature of the classified status of those documents. Ratcliffe does not believe the Mar-a-Lago documents are true national security documents, […] The post Sunday Talks, John Ratcliffe Questions the DOJ/FBI Classified Designations in Mar-a-Lago Documents appeared first on The Last Refuge. read more
Pierre Poilievre and the Politics of Brutalization
“The word ‘brutalize’ is now employed quite wrongly to mean harsh or cruel treatment meted out by the strong to the weak…but in fact it means something subtler, namely the coarsening effect that this exercise of cruelty produces in the … Continue reading → read more
‘Samarkand Spirit’ to Be Driven by ‘Responsible Powers’ Russia and China
Amidst serious tremors in the world of geopolitics, it is so fitting that this year’s Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) heads of state summit should have taken place in Samarkand – the ultimate Silk Road crossroads for 2,500 years. When in 329 BC Alexander the Great reached the then Sogdian city of Marakanda, part of the … Continue reading ‘Samarkand Spirit’ to Be Driven by ‘Responsible Powers’ Russia and China → read more

White House Introduces the Joe Biden “U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency”
If you combine government use of energy policy, government regulation on individuals around that energy policy, and the self-interested need to control political opposition, you discover one of the most effective ways to control human activity is to control their finance. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave us a great example of that when he […] The post White House Introduces the Joe Biden “U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency” appeared first on The Last Refuge. read more
DOI Removes Native American Slur From 650 Locations Across The Country
The Department of the Interior said the Board on Geographic Names (BGN) voted on the replacement names for the geographic features featuring the offensive word. The final vote completed the last step in the historic efforts to remove a term from federal use that has historically been used as an offensive ethnic, racial and sexist slur, particularly for Indigenous women. “I feel a deep obligation to use my platform to ensure that our public lands and waters are accessible and welcoming. That starts with removing racist and derogatory names that have graced federal locations for far... read more
Diversity is our Strength
The Spectator- Why is violence breaking out in Leicester? For the past few weeks Leicester has become a kind of mini-Kashmir in the middle of England, with clashes, protests and disorder breaking out in the city between young Muslim and Hindu men. It’s a remarkable turn of events for a city which has long prided itself… Continue reading → read more
Working in 2022: Remote vs. At the Office
To the best of my knowledge, San Francisco (SF) was the first major city in North America to shut everything down in their reaction to the Covid pandemic. I remember having dinner with friends at a restaurant in the Mission District of SF on Friday, March 13th. One of them, who did some part-time work… Continue reading → read more

The Queue
We may never see its like again. Snaking its way from Bermondsey to Westminster Hall, The Queue formed up over five miles. At its peak waiting times lasted for 14 hours, an exercise in patience and devotion hundreds of thousands of the Queen's loyal subjects greeted with sombre enthusiasm. The Queen was, apparently, with them during her long life and in death it's right and proper those she reigned over recognise her service by, uncomplainingly, standing in line for hours on end. The Queue affirms what we already know: that millions are enthusiastic about royalty, and are drawn irr... read more
"A Look to the Heavens"
“What will become of these galaxies? Spiral galaxies NGC 5426 and NGC 5427 are passing dangerously close to each other, but each is likely to survive this collision. Typically when galaxies collide, a large galaxy eats a much smaller galaxy. In this case, however, the two galaxies are quite similar, each being a sprawling spiral with expansive arms and a compact core. As the galaxies advance over the next tens of millions of years, their component stars are unlikely to collide, although new stars will form in the bunching of gas caused by gravitational tides. Close inspection of the ... read more

Dear Friends’ Xi And Putin: Project Unity
In the official Chinese and Russian statements regarding Thursday’s meeting between Presidents XI Jinping and Vladimir Putin in Samarkand lies not a scintilla of evidence that China’s support for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has weakened. In my view, if Putin decides to up the ante in Ukraine, XI would be likely to support him. Most analysts of China doubt that this would extend to China’s stirring up trouble in the South China Sea or opposite Taiwan, but most Chinese analysts did not expect China to tolerate, much less endorse, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. So your guess is as goo... read more
The Roar Of A US Warplane Over A Civilian Irish Airport
Shannon Airport, County Clare, Ireland - “This is not a regular airport,” Margaretta D’Arcy said to me as we heard a C-130T Hercules prepare to take off from Shannon Airport in Ireland after 3 p.m. on September 11, 2022. That enormous U.S. Navy aircraft (registration number 16-4762) had flown in from Sigonella, a US Naval Air Station in Italy. A few minutes earlier, a US Navy C-40A (registration number 16-6696) left Shannon for the US military base at Stuttgart, Germany, after flying in from Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia. Shannon is not a regular airport, D’Arcy said, becaus... read more
