Could it be that my body needs a rest from spirit’s one-pointed drive to center myself deeply within the bloody 3-D muck while accessing higher and finer dimensions both within and without and, […]
Read MoreMichael Salla of exopolitics.org (as distinguished from Alfred Weber, who coined the term and who runs exopolitics.com) has written a subtly argued, and very interesting article that first compliments the courage and insights of Alex Jones in his ongoing fight against his view of “globalism” — the accelerating process of dissolving nation state governments into […]
Read MoreThe following article, to me, fuses with the one about the gulag conditions in which our electronics are made in China.

Read MoreAmazing “mom and pop” interactive website that demonstrates, assists and amplifies how people in isolated towns throughout the Catskills get information, find each other, and help each other recover from Hurricane Irene. Thanks to Amy Goodman. watershedpost.com“

Read MoreIn the run-up to the tenth anniversary of 9/11, which do you find yourself gravitating towards: the official White House Observance Guidelines, or those who question anything and everything that happened that day and why. If the latter, check out this huge compendium of views from many different perspectives: engineers and architects, 9/11 survivors and […]
Read MoreWhat strikes me about the list that follows is first, that in “The Depression” people learned to see life in new ways and become more resourceful, and second, that they learned to rely on each other much more than usual. Exactly. In my long life I have not just survived, but evolved through a number […]
Read MoreStill working within the nostalgic-self-sufficient-go-it-alone-pioneering-individual-homestead paradigm that American culture has always championed — I prefer shifting to a scarier, and ultimately more rewarding, paradigm of interdependency — this video, even so, is shock full of good info.

Read MoreThis cartoon that could be applied to any number of industries. I think about how the state and fed are ramming through the contentious construction of I-69 here in Indiana, which will, not incidentally, make it much easier to get into and out of Crane from Indianapolis, where there are many jobs in the killing […]
Read MoreThe origins of this post began with a subtle, internal question. Having watched a netflix movie, “Mao’s Last Dancer” (2009), I was perusing the extras that came with it. In the “making of this movie” section they showed the beautiful mountain village in China that the last dancer had come from, and said that the […]
Read MoreIn 1973, after I had completed my doctoral studies (and squeaked through my oral exam with a dissertation that critiqued the entire history of philosophy), I won a hotly contested job as teacher at the then nearly brand-new experimental New College of California (defunct as of 2010). Though I was summarily fired after one year […]
Read MoreBack in the early ’80s, when I thought of myself as a mostly full-time peace activist against the MX missile, I once visited U.S. Representative from Wyoming Dick Cheney in his Cheyenne office.
