Let Me Help

Let Me Help
There doesn't seem to be much of a sense of urgency about the menacing forces in the east. The most effective non-military measure we could take in our defence, an energy embargo, is being phased in over the next ten years. NATO is working on a 'containment' plan, whatever that is. And, at the same time as Ukrainian cities are being blasted off the face of the earth, people on our side of the border take to the stage with their guitars to protest.

Here are some tips from a survivor. Energy consumption can be cut drastically by lifestyle changes across the population, like cutting dependency on automotive transport and using one device at a time. Incentives could be introduced to make this happen - the sooner the better. Regarding NATO, unless we start showing some initiative, we will need more than a containment plan to get ourselves out of trouble. We need to up the ante on the weapons front, I think. Ground troops will quickly prove obsolete if Putin starts arming his hypersonic missiles with non-strategic warheads (mini-nukes). We're going to need lasers now, and maybe some new satellites. Military training should be as high tech as possible. Chemists, we may need you to come up with some kind of new psychotropic drug that turns our troops into godzillas on the battlefield. The last advice I can offer is to try to adapt well to the new situation. Times like this demand individual sacrifices for the common good, such as people opening their homes to refugees or enlisting in the armed forces. We can't be selfish again until this is settled. I hope that all sounds reasonable, though I'm sure I'm not finished yet.

I should add that I think the Chinese have their hands tied, given their location. They don't want to upset their neighbour. We shouldn't expect too much support from them. And I thought of another one at work earlier, speaking of sacrifices: avoid Russian websites that have every movie ever made. I know they're great, but the risk is too high. They use the connection to beam instructions directly into your brain. You'll be looking at the 'No. 21' label on your bottle and suddenly find yourself in a trance. Inexorably drawn to the gun shop, you won't regain consciousness until the last instant, as the SWAT team riddles you with bullets on the roof of the highest local tower. The U.S. president was wise to warn us about such cyber attacks.

We should also be on the lookout for spies. They will always be the ones you least suspect. Look for incongruities: Why would a cowboy order seafood? Why would a bowling alley attendant be so good at chess? Why do they like CBC-FM? Why do they need to take so many photographs? There's always something that gives them away, but you have to keep your eye on them. Never mind the ones you already know are Russians. They're not spying on anyone.

You Call That Fraud?

You Call That Fraud? Nov 15/2020: Just one more little note to say that I saw a science video that very effectively debunked the technical claims of 911 conspiracy theorists with regard to fires and controlled demolitions. There are still a lot of unanswered questions for me about that day but I am starting to find myself more agreeable to other explanations outside of conspiracy theories. I'm reasonable that way.[End of Insertion.] There has been a lot of talk about fraud these days and I have had a long personal experience with fraud. I have been complaining about the entertainment fraud that was committed on a vast scale against my blogs over the last twenty years or so online. I have evidence of the fraud that was committed against me but it is too late to have anything done about it now. I was unable to secure legal help at the critical time because I lacked money. My evidence of the fraud committed against me is this Blogger account. The links below these pa...

Special Delivery

Special Delivery I have been following the war, mostly on DW News. Again, I stand firmly with Ukraine. I hope the Ukrainians can stop Putin in his tank tracks, not just for their own sake, but because Poland may be next otherwise. Poland is a NATO country, which would drag my country of Canada into the war, and I don't want to be in a war. Who would want that? We need to avoid that until the last possible moment. But, for what it's worth, I have given some thought to how we might slip those replacement Migs across the Poland-Ukraine border. I suggest we disassemble them and disguise the parts as cleaning equipment, perhaps industrial vacuum cleaners or something. Yes, I'm sure Kyiv could use a good vacuuming after all those artillery shells. I'll tell you something else, my gasoline consumption is zero. Putin never got a cent out of me, because I can walk to work in ten minutes. I don't mean to joke around too much through such sad and serious time...

Poetry Can Hurt

Poetry Can Hurt I've just heard about the Dr Seuss ban and it doesn't upset me at all. I don't read Dr Seuss anymore. As for racially insensitive imagery, if it upsets visible minorities, I give them the benefit of the doubt on it. I'm white, so my eye misses those kinds of details in children's books. But you can tell he ranked the 'whos' above other races. Remember that scene in the Grinch that Stole Christmas where they're all singing 'Gottes Sohn Ist Kommen' and one of the grown-ups picks up little Cindy Loo Who so she can adorn the portrait of the fuehrer with her wreath? Sorry, I know I shouldn't be joking around about it too much. Poetry ought not to hurt anyone. Oh, by the way, there were an awful lot of rhyming verses being broadcast to millions of people from 2007 to 2011, or so, that brought terrible harm to someone. That someone was me, their author. What kind of monstrous illusion is created by putting sweet stolen...
