Continuing disempowerment of the individual, as discussed by Edward Snowden
There are a great many Snowden detractors, but the issues he encountered and then became free to discuss are important to those of us who are concerned with Big Brother.
‘Continuing Ed’ is his new mouthpiece, and this is the start:
Aloha!
THE BEZOS PETITION
Many signatures on the Jeff Bezos Petition to stop him from re-entering Earth’s atmosphere! They call him Lex Luthor in the petition!
LINK: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/petition-to-stop-jeff-bezos-re-entering-earth-after-space-flight-signed-by-thousands/ar-AAL4hyX
So how many signatures do they need? 100,000? If Bezos was in charge of the petition it would be 7bil, everyone on Earth!
I mean yep, he’s that popular! Besides there is plenty that could go wrong anyway! Not even NASA has had a 100% success rate!
Time for a little humor

Aloha! CCP PROTESTS ARE HERE I always asked why don’t the Chinese people rise up against their oppressors the CCP? Obvious reasons. Watch this video from leaked sources inside China via one of two of the top Youtube reporters on China and the CCP. They are top reporters because one is South African and the other is American and they both speak, read and write fluent Mandarin and they both have spent to decades living and working in China. They were both forced out of China by the CCP and moved to Los Angeles, CA. But they stillhave long time… Read more »
Senior financial journalist wants Prime Minister Trudeau run out of town In her latest article, Diane Francis has expressed the feelings of most Canadian investors and taxpayers who would like to see socialist Justin return to the Math and French classroom of a private school in Vancouver. https://nationalpost.com/diane-francis/diane-francis-canada-no-longer-deserves-a-seat-at-the-big-boys-table/wcm/08d5c2c7-f08d-4fb4-bbf2-f9047e6e73eb As the nation sinks economically and financially, Trudeau sees himself as a world leader in Environmental, Social, and Governance issues. Within Canada, however, he is kept in power by people who have no idea what it takes to build wealth and he clearly wants nobody in his Cabinet who would challenge him… Read more »
Aloha Bill!
That a perfect summation!
he is kept in power by people who have no idea what it takes to build wealth …
I would be surprised if any of them knew what ROI and CAPEX were!
note the supreme hypocrite Al Gore is lobbying Biden to close another pipeline…..near as I can tell he owns 5 houses, 12 cars, 2 yachts and buzzes around the world in his private jet…..classic do what I say not what I do….
Aloha!
Al Gore and Oprah two of the most well known scientists and internet inventors on the planet. Oprah is a canary in the swamp! Just about anyone she teams up with is as corrupt as the day is long! Who remembers her Buy Red campaign to cut Africa debt with Bono? Complete failure! If I could post a chart here I could show you how that Africa debt dipped for about a week before it exceeded the prior debt levels be Oprah got involved! How do failures get so rich?
Aloha! FIVE HOURS OF LIVE UK ANTI-LOCKDOWN PROTEST This is an amazing find! Five hours of video from the UK protest against the government! What makes it more amazing is after 12 days since the event the “live chat” during the live feed is still going. You will notice 95% of the attendees have no masks! You will also notice no police. You will also notice no black hooded marauders looting and burning down businesses! You will also notice chants of FREEDOM! People just want their government to leave them alone! This is where the pendulum swings the other way!… Read more »
Aloha! MACRON GETS SLAPPED AND SO DOES PARIS Recently Macron while campaigning got b-slapped when he was visiting with the crowd. A crowd he thought was “friendly Parisians”! Many there remember when Macron’s policies had Paris burning! Look at this video about how 200,000 Parisians fled Paris. It is the French24 tv so its loyal to Macron. If you watch the entire interview you see the reporter dance around one of the biggest reasons Paris is emptying out! C R I M E ! One clue is the reporter stands on a bridge and its covered in gang graffiti! Thanks… Read more »
Bill Cara 40 years ago I came across this newspaper story from 1981 that highlighted our Train Passengers’ Association plea to save our only daily train between Peterborough and Toronto. The article mistakenly called it the Barrie train. https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDMDC-TSPA_0012699F&R=DC-TSPA_0012699F&searchPageType=vrl We were packed aboard the single Budd Car on our way to picket Union Station, and then on to work. This was a once-a-day in and out of Toronto train that many of us who worked in the financial district relied on to travel to and from our homes many miles away. I was VP of the Train Passengers Association, so… Read more »
Politics corrupts! Push back I can appreciate! Good on ya!
Is that Pat next to you? Like another lifetime ago!
I use Chrome, but is it time to ditch it?
I have always been concerned about their lack of privacy and have been too lazy to do something about it.
Well, I also use Outlook but only for a few things
A good read article:
Aloha Bill!
Yes I have been researching around to dump Google/MS. I am fed up with the MS updates that keep sneaking in MS products without my permission then I have to waste my time to fix it. Its as if Bill Gates owns my laptop not me!
Aloha! WAG THE DOG MEDIA Did anyone ever watch the movie WAG THE DOG with Dustin Hoffman? Plot The president is caught making advances on an underage girl inside the Oval Office, less than two weeks before the election. Conrad Brean, a top spin doctor, is brought in by presidential aide Winifred Ames to take the public’s attention away from the scandal. He decides to construct a fictional war in Albania, hoping the media will concentrate on this instead. Brean contacts Hollywood producer Stanley Motss to create the war, complete with a theme song and fake film footage of a photogenic orphan.… Read more »
Aloha! NYT COLLAB CRIB Having money and experience in the wild world of internet tv I had an interest in watching the New York Times documentary on “going viral”! Supposedly its about how much harder black kids have to work to get their TikTok videos to go viral than other ethnicities. After watching I could see you could relate this same theme to a wide range of career endeavors. Like trying to make it in pro sports. Or how to make it in Hollywood. Or even how to make it in Wall Street! There were eight teens in a giant… Read more »
The linked video tells the story of how Ivermectin came to the fore in the prevention and treatment of Covid-19. It’s a smart telling by a clinician of note and an incisive research biologist.
https://youtu.be/Tn_b4NRTB6k
When the history of this pandemic is finally told, Dr. Pierre Kory states: “The reckoning is going to be extremely ugly. When this history—when this story is told accurately—it is going to be very unpleasant.”
Aloha! THE WHO AND WHY When I heard Bill and Melinda were getting a divorce it was strange to me. After hearing Bill Gates was a pal of Jeffrey Epstein I did a double take. You know it is true of else Gates would be suing the media for slander! Now I wonder what Melinda knows and I would not be too surprised to see her early death like in a car accident. Now this virus stuff is unraveling about the Wuhan lab. Maybe Xi isn’t 100% guilty! Now magically Fauci emails come up but Fauci does not deny those… Read more »
There was an article here recently saying that President Trump had no reason to “tax” imports of steel from Canada as the steel was all “home grown” and had nothing to do with China. The facts would seem to indicate otherwise. “Canada imports steel from over 80 countries and territories. The three countries highlighted in the map below (USA, China, South Korea in that order) represent the top import sources for Canada’s imports of steel, with each sending more than 350 thousand metric tons to Canada and together accounting for 69 percent of Canada’s steel imports in 2017.
Your comment is patently unfair. Canada and the US are both importers and exporters of iron and steel. The iron and steel trade balance is even typically in favor of the US although the amount is not material. About your point; yes, Canada exports to well over 100 countries, including China, the steel products those countries need but don’t produce themselves. Canada also imports steel from many countries, steel products it needs, including from the US and China. I made a point that Canadian Steelworkers Union made. Trump said Canada was dumping cheap Chinese steel in order to tariff Canadian-made… Read more »
NYT has reported that the daily new cases of Covid have fallen by almost 75 percent since mid-April and by more than 90 percent from the peak in January. Meanwhile increasing numbers of Americans are being vaccinated and so the case number ought to continue falling. Life will take on a ‘new normal’ but when do we think that government will agree to cease and desist with their (uneven) rules and regulations? It’s patently unfair to parents and workers in some jurisdictions to suffer while their peers in others have had the constraints removed. What concerns me most is that… Read more »
Sports organizations beware the ill-treatment of your athletes This week, tennis star Naomi Osaka told the organizers of the French Open tournament that she would not meet the media after her match. She has long said that as an introvert she finds the media’s questioning to be offensive and breaks down her self-confidence. Furthermore, she says she needs support for her mental health, not an assault by smart alecs. She is absolutely right. I watch some of these question periods in amazement that the athletes often have to endure insults. In any event, the French Open people fined her $15,000,… Read more »
China is not only burying us under a mountain of relatively inexpensive goods. Rarely mentioned is their perfidious buying up of millions of dollars of Protection gear worldwide and shipping it back to China before the severity of Covid became known to the western world. The following article indicates another area in which they appear to be in the ascendancy. “When it comes to showing the flag, size of the ship carrying does matter, and here China’s naval construction seems to be motivated by considerations of prestige and not only of those of military efficacy. Since the most numerous US… Read more »
FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION I think of my Dad who at 19 was strapped into a B29 bombing Japan based in the Marianas! Holy cow bombing Japan, one of out best allies now in Asia! We dropped two atom bombs on Japan from a B29! Seems unreal! Get in a B29 tin can and see what its like! Flying Fortress they were called, but they were not invincible. Many got shot down. Many crew died. I was at his marker today! I was there myself. Nobody else was there. I told him I would bust my ass to not… Read more »
toby,
I couldn’t agree more.
Memorial Day is special and all posting by kaimu is a must-read.
Aloha! HOW THE CCP WORKS Data gathering. Have you ever wondered how polls and financial data is collected by the CCP? The biggest flaw of the CCP is “human nature”! How many understand why there is so much fake financial data in the CCP? This guy explains how the system works. Its a bottom-up system but don’t tell the top any bad news if you know what’s good for you! Audits? What’s that? The big difference between this guy and the US media reporters is he can read, write and speak Mandarin. He has lived in China and been in… Read more »
“Build-Back-Better” is an assault on capitalism and free markets. Jaana Woiceshyn is a Uni of Calgary business school professor and Google Scholar. Noting Biden’s “Build Back Better” program as part of the accelerating attacks on capitalism and freedom today, she has written an article on the insults of “inclusive”capitalism and “fair” markets. I retrieved the article from The Nassau Institute (Bahamas) publication. https://www.nassauinstitute.org/inclusive-capitalism-and-fair-markets/ Before I re-publish it in its entirety, please review the list of 88 publications over 33 years from this common-sense professor: https://scholar.google.ca/citations?user=hrgD26YAAAAJ&hl=en And, I remind you that the reason I started this totally free blog over 17… Read more »
Aloha! DEFINING SOCIALSM Thanks! Wow a sane professor! Socialism is where you rely on government then they rely on you relying on government until one day you discover you can’t rely on government any more! Capitalism is based on the rights and freedom of the individual. Everything else is the opposite! We don’t have free markets and capitalism is in the eye of the beholder! Government intrusion into market efficiency is pretty much a Milton credo! I got a taste of “woke capitalism” where even the CEO of Exxon has no rights and even worse his industry has been put… Read more »
$5 Gas Is Coming Thanks to Biden: WSJ Sounds Alarm
https://vimeo.com/553518199 This links to an interview looking back on the Covid-19 Pandemic. It’s a story told by a practicing physician and Texas A&M Professor of Medicine, Peter McCullough. The story begins with stakeholder recognition that hospitalizations and death needed stopping. But, amazingly, there was an inability to frame the problem despite historical precedence providing guidance. And, the inability of our political and health leaders to function is well remembered. While some frontline doctors were motivated to find treatment using off the shelf drugs (and, in fact, they ultimately developed effective outpatient and inpatient treatment protocols). Those at the highest levels considered… Read more »
Aloha!
CHINA LIKES AMERICA LAST
For decades the CCP has applauded the America Last politics in America.
This is what the Chinese see.

The takeway according to this CCP approved reporter is that America needs to stick with the America Last policy and we have been the past five months!
Aloha! REIMAGINE DEFUND THE POLICE So two rival cartels go at it then the police and Feds show up to quell the fighting so the two rival cartels stop shooting at each other and run the security forces out of town! If you want to see the same tactics the Yellow Vests in France used on Macron then watch the videos here. First they block all major roads setting big trucks on fire so the government can’t get in or out of town. The Yellow Vest many were farmers emptied big semis full of milk or grains out onto the… Read more »
Aloha!
THIS IS CALLED DEFUND THE POLICE IN MEXICO
It would be like this here in the USA too if the current lawlessness on the streets continues un checked.

Read how violent retaliation threats ended all city services for law abiding citizens! Why pay property taxes at that point? The death of a city!
Aloha! VOLCANO ACTIVITY INCREASING Where Kaimu Farm & Resort is volcanic activity is nothing new as Kilauea is listed as #9 most active volcano of the past 10,000 years! It has been erupting for over 26,000 days now! Google US air quality! HAWAII #! … even with an all time active volcano. By the way the volcano park is open now and you can go see an active volcano. You could even stay at Hale Kaimu our farm resort where we are a hour or so drive from Kilauea. I tend to look more at volcano activity globally. Activity is… Read more »
