The Sign of the Vulture

     Nancy and I were driving back from a long overdue visit to her trailer that sits on her property outside of Willits. It was a mess as a bear had broken in and generally trashed the place. That along with several other issues resulted in us pushing pretty hard to get it done while we were there. Sadly it wasn't to be and we'll be returning next week to finish up. So as we hit the pavement and headed down the hill a vulture flew in front of us then stayed there for at least a quarter mile. Since vultures are about cleaning up some dead waste I thought it was an appropriate sign to be given at that time. It should indicate that we're on the right track (finally) when it comes to the trailer. Just sayin'.     

The Internal Musings of a Busy Mind

     Way too busy lately. Watching the cats play last night while carving on a new piece of cedar. Wondering at the fact that I was there and happy along with my sweetie after the long strange trip we've both been on. Then I contemplated some possible future removals from that same piece of cedar, all the while checking out the current color of the sky. Once I decided what to remove from that piece of wood I prepared a piece of 80 grit sandpaper to make some more sawdust. While I was sanding, the current state of our planet invaded my thoughts and temporarily brought me down. Then I focused on my piece of wood and everything became calm again. So when you see me carving, don't think that's all that's going on in my head. Sometimes I'm self medicating with whatever piece of wood takes my fancy. Just sayin'.     

Oliver Anthony - Rich Men North Of Richmond

    Just discovered this dude today and was moved by his songs. He's doing what I did in my thirties only he has the added weight of celebrity to deal with too. I recognize his use of song writing to deal with his personal issues. The songs he's been writing resonate on a much higher level than mine ever did. Then again, there was no You Tube or cell phones to record with. I do believe I have a few songs that might resonate with some of you out there and possibly I'll use my cell phone to share them. Meanwhile I'll wish this gentle soul the best. I was very entertained. Just sayin'. 

The 4 Horsemen Of The TRUMPOCALYPSE! | Armageddon Update | Christopher...

    "He's never not been an asshole", states Mr. Titus. I couldn't agree more with his closing words. Make that pretty much everything he states about this situation parallels my thoughts exactly. Makes me want to do some videos but he does it so well and I have nothing to add. His words warm the cockles of my heart. Just sayin'.

"Horrendous": Black Men Tortured By White Mississippi Police “Goon Squad...

    Hard to find the right words to describe my reaction to this story. That fact that there are human beings that behave in this manner while wearing a badge is chilling. They were obviously encouraged by their superiors who helped cover up their actions. All of them should spend some time getting butt fucked by the innocent folks they falsely helped put in prison along with whoever else wants to take a shot. I don't believe it would do much to heal their cold shriveled hearts but it would be entertaining. Just sayin'.  

Signs from a Bumblebee

     So I was sitting on our front porch when movement on the pavement in front of me caught my attention. It was a Bumblebee crawling across the driveway with intention. It was going somewhere. It had someplace to be. I wondered why it was crawling rather than flying and surmised that it was reaching old age, soon to die. I wondered if I should intervene but quickly rejected the idea that there was anything positive that I could accomplish towards rehabilitating this Bumblebee. Still, all sorts of possibilities presented themselves as I continued to watch it progress across the pavement. I though that it was headed towards some shade but it continued past those cooler areas towards the morning sun. Just as I gave up all thoughts of rescue and contemplated ending it's obvious suffering it flew away. So much for my astute observations. Just sayin'. 

07.27.2023

 Armageddon's Haiku Samurai is where I post a Haiku a day and have since April 1st of this year. They are intended to point out some of the factors involved with the eventual failure of our current civilization. Stupidity at alarming levels is already infecting all levels of our society, in particular the top 1%. You know, those folks who own nearly all there is to own and continue to take what they want from the rest of us. How much power do they fucking need to sooth their fear of facing any consequences for what they did to get it? Everyday I keep my eyes open for the next atrocity to hit social media in one form or another. There are signs everyday that I acknowledge and keep to myself. Signs of some bad shit to come in our near future. Just sayin'.    

Signs of Summer

     We hit 109 degrees today. Just another Summer day here in Northern California. Lately Summers have been too long and too hot for us to get much done around here. At least this Summer was preceded by unusually wet and cool weather until nearly the end of June. Needless to say I've been watching the weather disaster videos which show us the 500 to 1,000 year floods and other unreasonable weather chaos that has been brought to us by Climate Change. We have it pretty good where we're at (so far) so moving isn't on our minds. If we lived in any of the Southern states we'd be either working on moving elsewhere or moved by now. All things considered we live in a place that may survive some of the coming problems associated with Climate Change. Then again we may not. Just sayin. 

Signs of Another Year Well Spent

     Thankful as usual for all the good things in my life. I have everything I could ask for except possibly winning the Powerball jackpot but I'd have to buy tickets to have a shot at that. There are two cats in the yard and yes, life used to be so hard but now it's peaches and cream. Stay happy world. Enjoy the time we have left before we destroy our civilization or some asteroid does. Just sayin'.

Signs of Summer

     It was unseasonably cool before it became Summer suddenly. Last year we were usually 5-6 degrees above whatever temps were reported for Nice, California. Now we hit about 10 degrees above whatever it reports for our area. What's that all about?

    At least Trump is gradually feeling the consequences of his illegal choices. Looks like justice is slowly grinding away at that pile of shit and as all the cockroaches hidden underneath scurry away they're dropping dimes on their formerly fearless leader. Like rats leaving a ship, they provide a sign of things to come. Karma is a bitch best left alone. Just sayin'.

As Media Spotlights Titanic Sub, Hundreds of Migrants Who Died in Greek ...

    You'll get no sympathy from me for your poor choice of entertainment when it kills you. Especially if that choice included paying $250,000 a seat. As for the migrants who are drowning in the Mediterranean Sea, they get my attention. They get my sympathy (as if that helps). How limited are their choices when they choose to pay their way onto that boat, knowing they are risking everything for just a possibility of a better future? Just sayin'.  

Signs from the Implosion

     So five people were killed when their submarine imploded while taking a scenic cruise to view the Titanic. Some of those folks paid $250,000 for a quick ticket to oblivion. For some it was a very bad day at work that more than likely ended with a bang. Am I feeling sorry for these adventurous fools and their tragic demise or am I faintly amused at their choices? Let's explore the latter.

    First bad choice was trusting your life to someone trying to make bank (see per seat cost above) with a sub that wasn't certified for the depth it needed to be at to view the wreck of the Titanic.

    Second bad choice was wanting to see the wreck in person in the first place when there are plenty of YouTube videos that will give you an even better view of one of humanity's more instructional disasters.

    The third bad choice was convincing yourselves that this adventure would be something that could better your lives in some manner and leave you with fond memories you could share with your friends.

    What I'm saying is that they made some bad choices trying to jazz up their travel resume. Possibly a tropical cruise would have had a similar effect for some but that wasn't out there enough for these folks. Being terrified of being trapped in small spaces makes their choices even more removed from anything I would even consider as a choice. What the fuck were these morons thinking? Wild horses couldn't make me get in a sub of any sort. I have issues about the one at Disneyland let alone a real one. Anyway I guess I'm not as advanced a human being as I'd like to think because I'm feeling no connection to these folks biting the dust the way they did. Seems like they made some pretty bad choices and Darwin took care of the rest. Just sayin'.

Trump THREATS against America EXPOSED ahead of Arraignment

    Fucking idiots, supporting a traitor who has put our country in harms way due to his mishandling of our secrets. He cares for no one but himself. Open your fucking eyes folks and look around, you're way off the reservation. This is about the law and the consequences of illegal acts and attempts to hide them. I spit on your political witch hunt cry baby whines. Deflect away morons, we've seen that enough times to ignore it. No one is above the fucking law, not even your cult leader. Get over it. Just sayin'.

    The previous rant is from an inner dialogue in which I speak from on high to those fucking idiots who are blindly supporting that piece of shite Trump. Not that they would listen. That's why I put it here. Not that they can read. Just sayin'.

Let's talk about republicans deflecting from Trump....

    Indeed, why are they doubling down on their empty accusations? They must want their criminal leader to be free from the consequences of his actions. Good luck with that losers. Just sayin'.

    In other thoughts, Beau has great takes on the developments happening in our country politically. I very much enjoy is calm demeanor and logical approach to the chaos that is the Republican Party. 

Signs of Truth via The Indictments

     Forbes had an article recently that detailed an interviewers interaction with Trump in one of his offices (their October/November 2022 issue). It was filled with memorabilia that included Brady's signed football helmet and Super Bowl footballs which he was showing off to his interviewer. I got the impression of a young boy bragging about his treasures. Much like what's described in the indictments that were released yesterday. MAGA folks be mad that their cult leader is facing the consequences of his illegal and harmful actions. Fuck them. They'll get their day in court too. Just sayin'.   

Trump indicted on federal charges in classified documents investigation

    Here's what many of us have been waiting for and this is only for the documents case. Now the real fun begins. We won't exactly know what the charges are but there are 7 of them and I've seen enough to have a pretty good idea of what they are. Violations of the espionage act and obstruction of justice are my bet. 

    Like I said previously, the dog and pony show is just getting started. Tuesday next week we'll more than likely know exactly what those 8 charges are for. Meanwhile I'm getting myself a red beer to celebrate the beginning of a very interesting and well deserved persecution of our former criminal and chief. The several other investigations should be chiming in soon with their own laundry list of evil deeds to persecute. I'm so looking forward to the show. Just sayin'. 

    I've been following politics ever since Bush stole an election and proceeded to screw stuff up, leaving Chaney and Rumsfeld to burn and pillage. Those two were from the Reagan Administration and were in on the beginning of the end for America. I'm saying that they set into motion this whole chaotic bullshit that currently dominates our lives. The tax cuts that were done back then are when our infrastructure began to degrade and the wealthy began getting way wealthier. Raegan set that shit in motion. Members of his administration continued his legacy of "Trickle Down" economics during Bush's 8 years. That BS got me started. Our country missed a golden opportunity to unite the world in opposition to the terrorists that committed 9/11 by starting a bullshit war in Iraq while doing the same in Afghanistan for the right ones. Both cost us bigtime. That's why I feel the need to express my frustration by writing this down. I'm only talking to myself to borrow a phrase. Later.       

Looking Into the Whistleblower Who Says the Government is Hiding Alien T...

    Looks like Joe doesn't quite believe the veracity of this whistleblower and frankly, neither do I but he tells a good story. One I've felt was true from the first time I heard about it. The believers have been relegated to the looney bin for decades so I've never let that belief dictate my behavior. That being said my inner dialog has been working overtime on all of the parameters and down sides to this becoming public. It's going to be a wild ride folks. Just sayin'. 

George Santos Begs Court To NOT Release Names Of People Who Posted His Bail

    

    What can you say about this? How ignorant are these dipshites? Do they think that the identities of who put up this MAGA piece of shites $500,000 bail is their private business and none of ours? I beg to fucking differ. Your ignorance is no fucking excuse. Everything our elected public officials do is fucking public, including the identities of those that bailed this lying dog out so he could help his MAGA buddies in Congress. You know, the ones that give not one fuck for our constitution or rule of law. You know, the ones that recently attempted to overthrow our Democracy. Put these fuckheads away DOJ. They've broken the law and no one is supposedly above the law. I'm betting on Justice tearing these paper clowns down and putting them in prison where they fucking belong. Nothing political about punishing law breakers and none of your antics are going to change that no matter how hard you scream. Just sayin'.

Signs That We've Been Lied to and Bob Lazar Wasn't Making Shit Up

Here it is. We have flying craft and remains from unknown origins. We've had them for decades. Our government kept that secret with immense amounts of disinformation and absolute authority. Bob Lazar was telling the truth. Think about the amount of money it took to make him look like a crazy conspiracy nut rather than the concerned citizen that he turns out to be. They erased his history. If it wasn't for this information not being disclosed at the recent NASA meeting concerning UFOs (I'm not using the new UAP) that pissed of some of those in the know, this guy wouldn't have felt the need to tell. He knows what happened to Bob Lazar and knows it could happen to him. That takes balls. There's going to be an all out news blitz as the information expands and goes viral. It will be an alien freak show for sure. My inner dialogue has been trending on this topic all day. Just sayin'.  

 

Signs of an Inner Monologue

    Never really thought about it much but this video got my attention and set my inner monologue off. It didn't help that I went on a 4 hour drive right after watching it and reviewed what I'd learned over and over and over. Some folks don't have much of an inner monologue. Others have it full time (that's me). Most are somewhere in between. They don't know what it all means exactly but they're working on it. Meanwhile, I'm constantly having an inner monologue or listening to my inner music station, which can include inner commentary. I'm having an inner dialog now about how I might be a good subject for their study. If it paid well. If not, their loss. I'll just keep silently entertaining myself throughout my waking hours. Like usual. Just sayin'.
