49th Anniversary!

Witam. (A nice Polish word that you must know very well by now.) A few days ago, we celebrated our 49. wedding anniversary (yes, 49th!) by skiing the magnificent Klaus trail at the top of the Sandia Mountain. We’ve been on this and other Nordic trails for 4 decades now, and the Pale Horseman is now chasing us more and more. But we still manage to beat Him pretty soundly and keep the Beast at…

People, Wake Up!

“The West” is arguably the area most heavily brainwashed in all of recorded history, indoctrinated 24/7 by the most cynical and efficient opinion manufacturing machine ever developed, far more efficient and totalitarian than what Herr Goebbels could possibly dream. (PATRICE GREANVILLE) Here’s where you can read more and try to open up your mind: https://www.greanvillepost.com/2024/01/22/bulletin-117-read-this-first-the-depraved-face-of-zionism-the-mask-falls-off/

AI and I

Liz, our neighbor, recently activated AI to write a poem about me. It was totally unscripted: Liz decided to do it as we met (with her husband and Barbara) for dinner a couple of days ago. I was totally unaware of this particular application of AI. I must say AI made my day. Ha, ha … What a gig! What is this world coming to? AI has become more human to me than most of…

Some good stuff on a Sri Lanka blog

dane valk Indeed, US and pet Israel’s armies are the product of Military Industrial Cowards. No matter how many Hollywood fantasies the US produce, fact is the US army would not stand a chance fighting toe-to-toe with a real army. The US doesn’t have the stomach to fight for a month the Russian army, which has the best ground forces since WW2 and considerable better still since the SMO. (Even in the air, Russian fighter…

Epicurus’ Final Rant

Editor’s note: No surprise Epicurus decided to quit. On sonar21.com, he has been called “a dick” and “dickless.” (Hmm … how can he be both!). The Dark Gorgon (aka “Ariadna”) has “argued” that his views and opinions are not worthy of respect.  And the usual, ubiquitous and boisterous gaggle of Christians have tried to degrade him in their own characteristically infantile way. So the guy has had enough. He is already on the road to…

The Epicurean Syllogism

I recently had an opportunity to re-read an essay I published in my collection of essays Adventures in Freedom. The opportunity arose when a discussion on sonar21.com centered on the meaning of the Winter Solstice. There were the usual Christian praises of “God” and Russia for returning to “Christian roots.” (Of course, the roots of Russian culture are not “Christian,” a fact pointed out by a commentator called “Epicurus.”) This is when I remembered my…

The never-ending, futile search …

Epicurus says 5 December 2023 at 20:50 Your comment is awaiting moderation. “We experienced the palpable presence of God. I must say, that is a tough act to follow.” I have never experienced “the palpable presence of God,” and I never expect to find “God,” who has done an outstanding job of hiding him/herself from human beings. Like the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, which everybody was looking for and never found, “God’s” only palatable presence…

The TIGER, a magnificent book, another one, by John Vaillant

As at least one other commentator on Amazon.com has pointed out, this book is much more than just a story about Amur Tigers in Russia’s far east. Vaillant writes persuasively about the horrible time all Russians had to live through during the catastrophic transition from Soviet communism to jungle capitalism of the 1990s and 2010s–both isms anti-human in their deranged ideology. Personally, I have learned more about this upheaval in Russian history than I had…

Apache Magic

Here’s a strange story, one that you probably won’t believe. But I will tell it anyhow. A few days ago, I decided to do something nice for myself. I have been on my own for two months (Barbara being away in Poland and a few local Polish friends also visiting Poland at the same time). By mid-October, the warmth of the summer was going away, and the onset of cold autumn nights began. The loneliness…
