Commentary on the Human Condition
What's the human condition? Well, it has a lot to do with just how strange it can get. As some people say about some actual events, "You can't make this up." Well we can't either. So here goes . . .
Can This Be True?
A Post by “Spartacus” Has Gone ViralThe Automatic Earth blog described a report by "Spartacus" as follows:
“This is an anonymously posted document by someone who calls themselves Spartacus. Because it’s anonymous, I can’t contact them to ask for permission to publish. So I hesitated for a while, but it’s simply the best document I’ve seen on Covid, vaccines, etc. Whoever Spartacus is, they have a very elaborate knowledge in ‘the field’. If you want to know a lot more about the no. 1 issue in the world today, read it. And don’t worry if you don’t understand every single ord, neither do I. Don’t be a Food Patsy
Inadvertently most of us become food patsies at one time or another. So how do we avoid being taken in?
For example, during the next two weeks hundreds of thousands of paleo advocates and many upscale shoppers will be conned by slick turkey peddlers. Meaningless fancy labels like good nutrition, humane treatment of animals, heritage, heirloom, better flavor, locally-produced, fresh, and a firmer texture will trap consumers. When that happens they will pay higher prices motivated by perceptions that do not match reality. That’s what being conned is all about. his also means those gullible consumers could have purchased a much lower priced, loss leader turkey at Save-a-Lot and gotten the same quality of turkey.

Old Myths
When I was a youngster studying history in the 1950s I marveled at how ignorant people had been hundreds of years before. For instance, the fear of hot air balloons incited riots and the destruction of the first prototypes. The beliefs in witchery or sorcery incited mobs to convict and sentence men and women to be hanged or literally burned at the stake. Doctors bled patients thinking that “germs” could be drained from the body – curing the illness. (George Washington was bled in his final days.) Revolutions were often followed by the killing off of the more productie/enterprising people in a nation. Change Won't Come Easy
Lot's of folks are making resolutions this time of year. All of them require change. It's the rare individual who actually follows through on those changes and usually it's because they've structured in "outs." Making a resolution with an easy exit ramp is actually exciting because it sets a new course that one really doesn't have to follow for this reason or that. In other words, the resolution is a short-term feel good deviation that's made to fail.
Recently I had a real world letter come it with the easy exit ramp built in. Here's his letter and it is followedby my reply. Government Surveillance and Grass-Fed Meats
Should we be concerned about the government tracking and storing our every telephone call, email, and internet read? Isn’t the war on terror more important than a little tracking of our innocent actions? Isn’t the quantity of data so huge that even when a known threat exists the data is too voluminous to search for leads? Or is it?
In my opinion, all societies must fear their governments and their governments must be held in check. Sure, many of the people working for our various government agencies have the best of intentions. But that’s not all of them.&nsp; Some of them become power freaks even at the lowest levels. Eat Great Food While On Vacation
Vacation time is upon us. So let the fun begin! But does this mean we have to sacrifice our health for the good times? When it comes to food, generally vacations mean some of our customers throw caution to the wind for the good times if they have not planned ahead. So here is the plan.
The foods required for optimizing body and brain function must cover all three of the critically important “A, B, C” parameters or else don’t eat them.

The importance of attaining good health is growing in importance. The reason is no longer just for improving the quality of life because soon just being allowed to stay alive may be the issue. The combination of increasing health care costs and the increasing number of people over 65 years of age is going to bankrupt the Government's Healthcare Safety Net. A recent post by Eric Sprott of Sprott Global Resource Investments explains how this will happen in the years immediately ahead.
If you are not healthy and the healthcare system and your relatives do not have the money to ake care of you, the only alternative is to let you die a slow agonizing death or quickly pull the plug. How to Cook a Frog
You’ve heard the old story about cooking a live frog. Just put him in a pot of lukewarm water and turn on the heat. The frog will sit there as the water gets warmer, then hotter, until it’s boiling and he’s cooked. Well, frogs are not that dumb. They will jump out of a pot of water as it warms up. At least they will make every effort to jump out and the hotter the water the more frantic they’ll become. They will not sit still and be boiled alive. But what about people?
