American pop culture has mocked God for 50 years; God has finally turned His back on America

When I look at the wars that the Nations of Virtue, ie the freedom & democracy loving full-patch members of Western Civ, are at this very moment pursuing, I can't help but wonder what an actual "Just God" might conclude. I can't imagine that the "Just God," be He from the Christian, the Judaic, or the Muslim tradition, could ever, in any way, endorse the mass murder of women and children. Yet our Western Civ refuses to utter the taboo word, GENOCIDE. Let's not lose sight of the fact that Israel is a charter member of the Nations of Virtue club, the "Golden Billion" who get to lord it over the seven billion lesser beings who, truth be told, are getting a little tired of the charade. We are at the cusp of serious shit. All the idiot talk I hear from Washington suggests they still imagine they're winning the war they lost months ago. You have to spend a little time on Fox News every day just to get a sense of what Mafia Don watches, and Holy Mother of God, the Towelheads o' Terror are the absolutely worst evil that has ever been seen in history! Nobody who writes that crap ever explains how or why their evil is any more evil than the evils of Western Civ, but that's the mentality that keeps our warmongering going full-tilt into ultimate disaster. It was former CIA director Mike Pompeo who bragged up the fact Uncle Sam lies and cheats and steals. (As an aside, the fat warmonger is now a skinny warmonger... Ozempic???) Anyway, the point I'm trying to get to, is that if there is such a thing as a "Just God," there's no possible way that Just God could be on the side of Western Civ.

White Supremacy on the march across Canada

Hard on the heels of the nazi takeover of Millarville Alberta last summer, CBC today exposed a white supremacist group in Ontario that is plotting to overthrow the government, deport all non-whites, and set up a thousand year master race with themselves in charge. This was revealed in a confidential report to CBC from the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, the same government funded "NGO" that tipped the CBC to the Millarville scoop. The "Dominion Society," near as I can make out, is a couple dozen middle-age, generally fat guys who like to get together now and then to piss and moan about politics, as is the norm in societies everywhere. I'm guessing they came up with the club idea because it sounded way better when you told your wife you're off to a policy conference, as opposed to you're off to a piss-up with your pals! The leader of this dangerous gang of white supremacist revolutionaries is one Daniel Tyrie, who was obviously thrilled to get his first-ever interview request from CBC, and didn't disappoint! He's clearly hoping for many more. I have a hunch most of his drinking buddies... or "foot soldiers" if you will, may skip future policy meetings. Anyway, the old "far-right threat" to our freedom and democracy continues to be a reliable excuse for our leadership elites to impose ever more fascistic limits on our freedoms and human rights.

What's wrong with this headline?

"Ottawa plans Crown corporation to break defence procurement logjam." Apparently the multiple bureaucracies responsible for spending taxpayer dollars on bombs and bullets and F-35s and German submarines are completely incompetent when it comes to spending money. They can't spend it fast enough due to bureaucratic bottlenecks in the spending pipeline. Fortunately for peace, justice, freedom, democracy, and all the other good stuff Canadian taxpayers relentlessly fight for, the Carney government has announced the creation of a new crown corporation to supervise the spending of tax monies. That's right! We're getting a fresh new level of bureaucracy to whip all those other levels into shape! Not the way I'd handle bureaucratic gridlock, but what the hey, let's give Carney a chance...

For what it's worth

Spent an hour or so last week having a face-to-face with a family friend who's been in the real estate biz forever. I'd requested the sit-down because I'd been thinking about some concerns my mother had brought up, like wouldn't it be a great idea to sell Falling Downs and move to Guelph to be closer to family. Ya, I know my folks have been in the biz forever too, but this gal comes from the other side. Which in no way rules out the possibility she could be in cahoots with my dear Mom! Anyway, due to my various old-fucker-about-to-croak medical issues I've been diagnosed with, there seems to be pressure building that I should slow down, scale back, simplify my life, and move into a wheelchair-accessable abode. I'm quite OK with most of that. What's not to like about slowing down and scaling back? Count me in! But inevitabley, these conversations turn to the what it's worth question, and I gotta say these real estate folks really toss around some impressive numbers. Apparently the joint has gone up 250% in the twenty years since I bought it! I'm a millionaire! Great! I can cash in and trade my hundred acres of peace, quiet, tranquility, and good neighbours for a condo in town! Oh ya baby, I'll get right on that! Or maybe not; not just yet, anyway. And while it's true enough that such a move would provide the second bathroom we lack here at Falling Downs, that hardly seems an adequate incentive to move into town. For what it's worth, I'm content to pee off the porch while gazing at the stars, with the coyote choir providing the sound-track, for as long as I can get to the stoop without a wheelchair ramp!

Did the golden age of rock & roll ever produce any superstars who were NOT drug addicts?

None come to mind. Ted Nugent maybe? But he was only a superstar for maybe a year and a half around the time of the Cat Scratch Fever tour. For the past fifty years his only paying gigs have been at GOP events. The serious superstars, Clapton, Beck, Page, Bowie, Prince, SRV, Steve Earle, MJ, Joe Strummer, Joe Perry, Keith... and you could pretty much work your way through the music industry "A" list and well into the B,C, and D lists and never find a somebody not tainted with the addiction curse. Don't get me wrong. I don't think there's anything new under the sun about musically inclined folks wanting to get high. Then again, I'm living proof that getting high will not in and of itself kickstart your music career. I can only hope Liebe Mutti never sees this post, but maybe that's because I was never sufficiently addicted! I never really got beyond pot and beer, whereas successful musicians in the golden age started with heroin and took it from there. Maybe that's why most of them are dead and I'm not!

Pot-addled hillbilly goes global

Back in March I noted in a post that the View from Falling Downs had passed 3 million views, and it had taken 15 years to get there. Six months later, it's racked up another 3 million. Not bad numbers for a blog with three followers and a warning for readers with every post! Somebody suggested maybe that's why people read it. If it's worth censoring, maybe it's worth reading! Anyway, pretty sure half a million views per month ain't anywhere near Lambo country, and besides, I'd have to get onside with those community standards to monetize, which prospect holds no appeal for me. The pot-addled hillbilly has definitely gone global though. Check out the top ten audiences over these six months, ranked in order: USA, Brazil, Singapore, France, Bangladesh, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, and "other." That last category makes up over half (1.64 million, to be precise). The pot-addled hillbilly is everywhere!

France in flames as Micron determined to go out in blaze o' glory

Spent some time watching live video feeds from various French cities this afternoon. The headlines proclaiming the unrest is just "student riots" are highly misleading. Sure, there were scenes of riot police clubbing kids who looked barely in their teens, but big picture, you had a wide swathe of unions and civil society orgs and fringe political outfits and just about every other constituency in France not part of Little Napoleon's 14% approval rating. The reporting at CBC avoided any mention of the real reasons for the unrest; severe cutbacks to social spending in favour of a vastly increased military budget and the promise of perpetual financial propping-up of rump Ukraine. There's a reason for that. The top nabobs at our official propaganda network are all too well aware that's exactly the course we're on; France, Germany, and numerous other NATO-EU states will no doubt see street riots before we do. There is no question we're looking at the same fate. The Carney regime has embarked on a clear program of crippling social spending by committing at least a trillion dollars to military spending over the next fifty years. PM Carney's got polling approval numbers never before seen in Canada. African dictators are in awe! He has a solid plan. We'll pay down our debt by selling our critical infrastructure to US hedge funds! Most of those African dudes did that long ago, but no worries... elbows up! But back to France. I can't see how Li'l Napoleon is gonna get the toothpaste back in the tube at this point. How long are the cops gonna attack retired firefighters protesting their shrinking pensions before they realize they should be pounding out the politicians instead!
