privacy and some invasions thereof

People like me often consider what we may or may not do that facilitates organized capturing of information about us, our activities, and even our thoughts. Nobody wants to think along these lines, but many recognize it would be foolhardy to never consider such. Either you buy the product or you are the product. Faceplant is an example along this line. Their overtly paying customers are the advertisers. Regular participants are the audience, the product. Most likely there are other customers who receive the meta-data on all users. The activities, expressed opinions, interpersonal contacts build portfolios of interest, not necessarily [or likely] for our benefit. “The cloud” is another innocuous benefit offered without overt cost to its users. Considering […]

Why did they burn out Lahaina?

This video is so startling, impressive and important that I included it in my prior post with a link directly to Eew-Toob, which I really hate to do. In this newer post I include the video in a sanitized (non-tracking) form. I also added more information and links as the REAL INVESTIGATIVE REPORTERS publish their work on the World Wide Web. I might as well stay on this topic while it is hot, eh? 😉 In addition to the cleaned-up version of that important video is another by a local videographer who published it via Rumble. I trust that platform a whole lot more than the obvious Deep State players, and have not found a way to sanitize from […]

shopping for dumb

The big screen we inherited from the squatters died. Though I have not watched television in 35-40 years, there are several things we do use that big screen in my studio for. That finds me shopping for a replacement. So far I believe I have avoided inviting any “smart” technology into my world. I did not want to start now. The term “smart” originally comes from the acronym “Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology”. Average people think they are smart for adopting the technology. The advantages of being able to tell or ask your smart tools anything is among their little pleasures in life. I am in the other camp that asks, “reporting to who?” The police state knows more than […]

law enforcement is not the same as public safety

Patrol Bike (BMW R1200RT-P)It was a long day for me on and off my BMW. I made the Sunday Morning Breakfast Club run. That is an hour ride on straight, boring Highway 93 to the marshalling parking lot, then a con-brio group ride on lovely, winding Highway 12 over Lolo Pass for breakfast 47 miles away. After a lot of camraderie, having the group’s tech wizard get my keys out of the trunk I locked them in, we rode back. From Lolo, I followed one of my new friends to his yard in Missoula to tour a most amazing collection – around 100 classic motorcycles, only a few of which have been restored to excellent operating condition by an interesting […]

LEO on the road again

I got the Valentine One installed and windshield remounted Monday afternoon (July 10, 2023), then took the Patrol bike on a meaningless meander of the local twisties. I finished that ride by picking up a cooking pot my wife left at a Monday potluck in the other direction. I filled the BMW up with fuel before and after, returning 44 mpg with quite a bit of overtaking, some to triple digits, a couple climbs up both sides of 7,014-foot Lost Trail Pass from the Bitterroot River 3,500 feet below, powering out of too many lovely curves to count, then running the ‘downtown’ errand. The result was a very nice 117 mile 2 1/2 hour break from the nose-to-the-grindstone yard-and-shop-work fuddy […]

Fake News

This post is an accumulation of quotes, links and excerpts I gathered along with a two-part video I created on the subject. A major part of THEIR power comes from ownership and synchronization of all mainstream media outlets. The scripts sent to the talking heads are absolutely IDENTICAL… and almost universally false propaganda to move the average people in directions desired by those who would rule the planet. I want to do a series of video and blog posts baring naked the fake world we inhabit. There is no better place to start than with the fake media – taken over by the CIA with Operation Mockingbird and made worse every year thereafter. My camera broke this video into […]

Censoring the census

Sigh… apparently my turn came up again for special attention from the USofA Census Bureau. I received bonus letters in the mail, phone calls, Agent Smith visits and, today a FEDEX overnight letter soliciting my participation in their extra-curricular data mining program. Their constitutional mandate is to count the number of people in each household within the borders of our country once every decade. All else is what our Army calls “mission creep”, Libertarians call “government over-reach” and computer geeks call “data mining”. Regardless of the title, I am not keen on contributing to their dossier on me any more than I have to. The last time the Census Bureau decided to dance with me was September 2010 – […]

On War and Wars

The meat of this post was written by James Howard Kunstler. He is a worthy analyst and talented writer. I give you the first few paragraphs below, then a link to the whole article at his website. I promise it gets better, but I guarantee it does not slide downhill in any fashion. – Ted – “When we see the few truth-tellers who are the stars of their organizations jettisoned – Tucker Carlson from Fox News, Matt Taibbi from Rolling Stone, Glenn Greenwald from The Intercept, James O’Keefe from Project Veritas… we must face the fact that there is an organized conspiracy to suppress truth.” — Paul Craig Roberts On to James Howard Kunstler: The weird part the news […]

shopping in the future

I captured this video made in England. It appears to be a test for what people will tolerate, accept as normal. This future looks supremely UGLY. The thoughtless will stumble through life, accepting this new normal. The total-tracking model will sneak up on them without a hint of its presence. One day we will all wake up to !OHMYGOSH! The shock to those who did not see it coming could be fatal. Perhaps some will fight against it. One can hope. https://www.bitterrootbugle.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/shopping-in-the-future-is-here.mp4

anniversary reminders from Waco

In a just world, Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms would be well beyond any sort of feral government jurisdiction. In our out-of-control oligarchy, ATF is a rogue agency infamous for burning a church to the ground while surrounding snipers kept families, men, women and children from escaping. Slick Willy Clinton and AG Reno presided over this slaughter that they felt would justify AFT’s continued existence and budget. They blew up the Edward R. Murrow building in Oklahoma City for similar reasons. On that day none of the ATF employees showed up for work and none of their children went to the in-house daycare. The FIB is just as bad. Some think it has gone over to the criminal side. I […]

They Live among us, but they are not like us

“THEY” have some rule that mandates them to tell us what they are going to do TO US before they actually do it. The 1988 movie They Live is one such production. Check out these two trailers I merged into this one video clip. You probably get the drift without having to watch the whole movie … which shows its 25-year-old age. An update would be slicker, but give you no additional useful information. They Live depicts our world inhabited by normal humans and by some very different beings that only appear to be human. The protagonist happens across some magical glasses that expose the other world and other beings cohabitating ours… and, much worse, CONTROLLING OURS. In the […]

plague plan – they told us about it in 2017

This excerpt to the right from the 2017 movie Unlocked lays out their plan for medical martial law. The perverts, Satanists, “the others” own Hollyweird, and also have some cultural rule that they have to tell us what they plan to do TO US before they do it (Georgia Guidestones, Agenda 21, Agenda 2030, 1984, Brave New World, They Live, etcetera). Here we have their introduced plague plan on display six years ago in the movie. Thus far it has not worked as they played it, but they are not finished with this act yet. Count on it. Faucci recently announced a more virulent plague for next year. I’m betting they call the fatal results of the vaxx/booster/5G program […]

global fiat currencies in a race to the bottom

In the video on the left, Gregory Mannarino explains the economic demise we are beginning and what we should be doing to protect ourselves as much as possible. Also known as “The Robin Hood Of Wall Street,”, he covers where we are, what’s coming, how and why. Like me, he is bullish on precious metals, and also like me, thinks SILVER is king. He is well worth paying attention to. You can find him all over the Internet: Gregory Mannarino … or Gregory’s newsletter … or Gregory’s Trader’s Choice website He and I agree that silver has a much stronger potential upside than gold, but that either of them are FAR BETTER than any financial instrument on Earth today. He […]

resuming

It is not like I don’t see the world and human cultures swirling around the drain in a slimy sludge. So much ugliness, hitting us from every direction. I think we are witnessing the thrashing death throes of a particularly ugly beast. Earth’s imminent super-nova has put me in a mind of savoring the moments before with as much joy and relaxation as I can squeeze into life rather than spending time on blog posts. I know. You noticed. However, the monster class is pulling out all the stops (as if there were some) to attack us from every direction imaginable along with thousands we have been unequipped to even imagine. Among them are increasingly shrill pronouncements from their […]
