Can Bigfoot Save Us? A reflection and Halloween movie recommendation
by W.D James During the first few months of this year I watched between 50 and 100 low budget Bigfoot (and related creatures) movies, some of them multiple times.

Natural Complexity (Reviving Federalism, Part 3)

Life philosophy: beyond left and right
by Paul Cudenec The global industrial-financial complex has been doing its best for decades now to ensure there is no real ideological opposition to its life-hating agenda. In part, it achieves this through relentless propaganda assuring us that its brutal assault on humankind and nature amounts to "progress" or "growth" or "innovation" or positive "change". … Continue reading Life philosophy: beyond left and right
The Zombie Trance
by Mike Driver Without free thought free speech is worthless - George Cooper Was the ‘Covid’ period a mass conversion event? I thought I was done with writing about the events of the last 4 years. The ‘plandemic’ or ‘convid’ had taken up sufficient of my thinking time. I’m now certain there was no pandemic, … Continue reading The Zombie Trance
