Lipstick and Immortality
A few weeks ago a friend of mine on Facebook was lamenting the fact that people would gladly throw down a hundred bucks to Kylie Jenner, someone they hardly knew, for cosmetics, but wouldn’t pay out twenty bucks to support a friend, that they did know well, in their local business. Of course. It makes…

The Evil Empire
When I was young I believed Ronald Reagan when he called Russia the Evil Empire. I was pretty certain that he was right and that I was right. I would let anybody who either wanted to know or didn’t want to know what I thought about the Soviet Union. People still talk about Russia being…

A Pack of Lies
I was walking through the airport just a few moments ago when I spotted a book Tom Brokaw had written about the downfall of Richard Nixon I did not pick it up. I thought about it, then said to myself: “Why bother. It’s just a pack of lies.” How can I possibly know that? Because…

This Past Weeknd
I don’t think you have to be Edward Bernays to see that there was some serious programming going on with The Weeknd’s performance at the Super Bowl this past weekend. The masked automatons were enough. I’m pretty damn sure that the people who choreographed that display want you to conform, obey and submit. What do…

The Dresden Bombing
I am a strange person. I like to fixate on things. The other day, Joe Biden was talking about propaganda. He mentioned that after Dresden was bombed, the German propaganda machine put out the notion that 250,000 people had died. The truth, he stated, was that only 25,000 people died. I became interested in this…

Happiness and Equality
Once there was an evil king. He was known as the Eagle King. He had a dark soul. All he cared about was power and gold. He had all the gold in the world, but he wanted more. He had all the power in the world, but it was not enough. He wasn’t happy, and…

The Torch of Lies
As a kid you are programmed to respect the Sunday morning talk show hosts. It’s only natural, and I was no different than you. They were older than me so it made sense to me that they would be more experienced and, so I thought, smarter. But then I got older, and more experienced. But…

Brahmins 2
Let’s talk about the Brahmins, these so-called elite families from New England. They promote themselves as an aristocracy in America. Supposedly this entitlement derives from their ancestors arriving to American shores on the Mayflower and other vessels in the early 1600s. This entitlement is false. The Brahmins are entitled to nothing. The Brahmins are no…

The Price of Conformity
When I was a boy we asked ourselves in school how the German people could have been conned into going along with Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. This question is asked today. How could the German people possibly have gone along? Accompanying this was the self-confident notion that we Americans were better and that such…

Dracula’s House
Should men of the clergy become active in political affairs? To answer this we must first understand that America was suckered into serfdom through the clever use of phonies posing as good men of conscience . William F. Buckley was an enabler of such men. Many a week on his show, Firing Line, he showcased…
