Who Will Still Be Standing When The Music Stops?
"The Zeitgeist Wants What the Zeitgeist Wants" - Kunstler What's that then? What does it want? It's all shared in full below for your convenience ...and it is only hours now, before the actuality reveals itself. I wonder if the 'ectoplasmic hologram' will be energised enough to still be standing as the music fades? Or... Continue Reading →
The US Demands?
"US calls for Navalny’s immediate release, secretary of state says" - TASS That's the polite version, as reported by Russian media. Here's the truth: "The United States demands..." Demands?

Of Hearts and Heads
A cry from the human heart. "A Coup in the Corporate Head" - Tessa Lena, from Tessa Fights Robots ...and while I... No. I am going to hold back from making my frequently used personal disclaimer.
