Black Rod
The king’s presence in parliament was announced by Black Rod. Many years ago I was tickled by the ancient offices with strange names like Portcullis Pursuivant. Each officer and ceremony continues to represent a tradition or an incident. Human memory was meant to be a continuum, not a digital sequence. The old world maintains this…

Asserting OG
Carney has made an interesting move. He invited King Charles to open the new session of parliament with an official Speech From The Throne. The clear message in gangster terms is “We are still part of the old gang, and still under the protection of the old gang. Your upstart gang rebelled and claimed some…

Bravo TVA!!!
TVA was the New Deal’s prime mover in rural electrification. The related REA was starting to work toward small nuclear reactors in 1954! Now TVA is finally making good on the old promise. = = = = = START QUOTE: The nation’s largest public power company, the Tennessee Valley Authority, announced Tuesday it submitted a…

Who’s learning, who’s not
Canada has learned and started doing the right thing. New Scientist mag has learned and at least stopped doing destructive things. Rome has learned and started LEADING the revolution in the BEST direction. Democrats and “journalists” haven’t shown the slightest sign of awareness or intelligence. Least surprising of all, Hollywood is doubling down on the…

Ice vs mercury
Carney continues handling the psychopath correctly. US Democrats could learn something if they were capable of learning, but they aren’t. Russia has been playing this game for centuries, handling first Napoleon then Wilson then Tojo then Hitler then every US president since 1945. Maintain your ground connection. Absorb the punches. Bend back and forth but…

The blackest swan
It’s interesting to watch Canada’s Conservatives right now. Trudeau blindsided them by doing the MOST UNEXPECTED THING IN THE WORLD. He started serving the nation. The Conservatives didn’t have a Plan B, which is completely understandable. A politician serving the people is the blackest of black swans, the most GENUINELY unexpected event of all. It’s…

Amazing!
Lately I’ve noticed that New Scientist has departed from its normal purely political stance, spending much less time on fashionable shit like Climate and Die-Versity. In this article they take a HUGE step in the right direction. For the first time in print, a big science magazine admits that science has ALWAYS depended on the…

Usual subjects
Random thought on the usual subjects. The Nash Metropolitan was the first offshoring in the US auto industry. Most US makers had branches in Canada and Euro countries from the start. The branches functioned in different ways: some made their own cars, some made identical US models, most made variations or descendants of US cars.…

Elbows up in Europe
The Ankler reporting on Euro show biz: = = = = = START ANKLER: Now that we’ve had close to a month to digest Donald Trump’s America-first trade policies, I’m beginning to hear more about the projected impact on the industry, and producers’ “sharp elbows” strategy. “Buy fewer Teslas and U.S. shows, and more Peugeots…

The correct history
This article fills in the CORRECT history of the 1700s, when the NYC robber barons rebelled against British rule and asserted the theoretical “right” of robber barons to take everything. Canada remained with the crown and parliament, and retained the old experimentally determined EQUIPOISE between government and citizens. Our textbooks and media never told us…

Elizabeth is right this time
Elizabeth Warren often serves the bankers by adhering to the banker-sponsored “climate” and “virus” genocidal myths, but in other areas she does a good job of opposing the bankers. In this article she discusses the effects of psychopaths in charge of the world: Donald Trump’s erratic policy shifts have created an economic environment that, as…

Universal facts
One of the AFL-CIO booster films sympathizes with unionized postal workers. Carriers got up routinely at 4AM to start their sorting before walking the route. The narrator said “Nobody wants to get up at 4AM!” That was the official universal FACT for many decades as seen on TV and books and movies. People got up…

Seems extreme, reality is worse.
Somebody quoted a statistic that seemed too far out to be believed, so I checked it with other sources. The extreme stat: EU produces 15 million cars a year, US produces only 2 million. Really? I knew we were fucked, but we CAN’T be that fucked. No, it’s worse. From EU auto mfrs association: Car…

Carney is FDR.
I started the previous item intending to introduce this topic but then skidded off into my usual Ford vs Wall Street rant. The rant is relevant to current news, so I’ll leave it there and try again. Capital is MONEY or PROPERTY that serves to start or expand a business. Property includes land, buildings, tools,…

Now he’s talking REAL money.
Wall Street wasn’t paying much attention to Trump’s attacks on Canada and Mexico. We run some offshore factories there, but not in IMPORTANT industries. We only make appliances and parts of cars there. Nobody we know uses appliances or cars. Our illegal immigrant maids and drivers use those trivial things. The IMPORTANT industries are the…
