October 11 methane plume and dire predictions

Regarding the Malcolm Light prediction I reported about October 3 (if you haven’t read it, it’s here, with an update here). The above series of diagrams (and many more that are relevant to the October 11 date) was just released by the Arctic News Group. Long story short; the above rendering shows a tiny dot where temperatures […]

The Story of Falling Don–performance November 7

Coming to a theater near you (assuming you live on the Upper West Side)! My play THE STORY OF FALLING DON will be performed at OSA (Our Saviour’s Atonement) Lutheran Church on SATURDAY, November 7, beginning at 7 PM. You might wish to get there at 6 to see the closing night of the OSA’s […]

Sick of hearing about Hillary’s damn e-mails?

In earlier posts, I’ve lamented the fact that the US is up to its neck in conspiracy theories that may actually be factual. And I mostly believe that we’ll never get to the bottom of these as long as we have a status quo in a functioning government. That, like the dissolution of the German […]

“Director’s Cut” of New Video is Tougher, Darker

Peter Sinclair of Climate Crock of the Week has put out a new video on the fight over climate change denial. It’s worth a few minutes of your time. Especially noteworthy is the juxtaposition of denialists like Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh with Angus Gillespie, VP of C02 from Shell Oil who states that “you […]

Social Security in the cross-hairs for both parties

It’s that time once again to have the GOP threaten to shut down the government. We’ve run up against the debt ceiling and now need to have the ceiling moved up (something that used to pass without much notice during the W years). But the ‘Freedom Caucus’ is in charge and they’re anxious to risk […]

Words of wisdom from Dr. Malcolm Light

I had posted a few news items by Dr. Malcolm Light here before. If you’ve been following this blog, you know that he has predicted disaster unfolding at the beginning of this month. Specifically, he posted this on his Facebook page: So in honor of Dr. Light (and in order to familiarize some of my readers […]

Not to root for Bernie…

The Democrats’ debate in Vegas on Tuesday was an interesting piece of TV. I’ve made my own feelings about the race known here. I’m energized by the presence of Bernie Sanders in the race, primarily because he’s saying things that no one else will say.  And not to get too excited, but Bernie apparently won […]

More Mike Mann: “It’s Worse than we Thought..”

Dr. Michael E. Mann was vilified and nearly driven out of his job for talking about our converging environmental and crises as all graphing like the line of a hockey stick. He was dragged into the ‘climategate‘ controversy and personally targeted by Sen James ‘climate change is a hoax’ Inhofe. His reputation was nearly destroyed, […]

TPP passes initial vote–why it should be stopped now

  Prologue: I’m in a video. Did you know? Not the ones I’ve been in usually, but one made by my pal Monica Hunken (with cinematography and production work by Owen Crowley) about the TPP and it’s here: (if the video doesn’t play, you can always just follow the link to Youtube.   If you […]

93 million: an update

Since I seem to be in update mode, I thought I’d share this. I’ll try to keep things simple. Back in May I wrote that a count of adults unemployed or underemployed in the current economy indicated that there were some 93 million working age Americans who weren’t in the workforce in any reasonable way […]
