And Then She Said; “Who’s Jim Crow”?

And Then She Said; “Who’s Jim Crow”?

Our local tavern is typical for the rural west coast; too much sports, empty bragging and general foolishness you would find at any-where-pub USA. There are however some pretty smart cookies that roll through. One of my friends famously told me “our little county is full of over-educated drop-outs”. I tend to shut off the […]

Taking Another Look At The John Birch Society

To those of us who grew up in the 1950’s or 1960’s The John Birch Society may seem like a thing of the distant past, but it’s alive and well today and has left it’s paranoid footprints everywhere. Surprisingly, they’ve changed some of their targets, learned from mistakes and are attempting to re-invent the movement. […]

Zika Virus, Birth Defects, And Farm Chemicals In Washington State

Most readers are aware of the dire warnings about the Zika Virus. Brazil, a country that is bucking the petrodollar and aligning with Russia and China economically, appears to be ground zero. The flu-like virus has been linked to Microcephaly, a birth defect that causes brain damage and irregular head shape in affected newborn children. […]

The New “X-Files” And “Alternative 3”

The New “X-Files” And “Alternative 3”

The reboot of “The X-Files” has taken quite a new twist, but much of the new theme was forecast in a fake documentary by Anglia TV in the U.K., and later a novel – both by the name “Alternative 3”. First, let’s take a look at the conspiracy theory woven into the premier of the […]

  • Review: “Continental Reckoning” By Elliot West
    I learned quite a bit in reading this huge book, which probably was meant for college classes. Indeed, the author of “Continental Reckoning”, Elliot West, is a Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Arkansas. This book should be in an Economic or Law history class, and probably is. Author Elliot West clearly outlines […]
  • All About Ken Kesey: Two Reviews
    “Spit In The Ocean #7 – All about Kesey” is an eclectic collection of real tales about legendary Oregon writer Ken Kesey. Kesey is best known for writing “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” (mental institutions) and “Sometimes A Great Notion” (an Oregon logging family). Both books were actually written in California, and both are […]
  • Review: “Acid Dreams” By Lee & Shlain
    I found “Acid Dreams; The Complete History Of LSD: The CIA, The Sixties, And Beyond” a pretty good summary of the LSD experience, from the use of the drug in interrogation techniques used by intelligence agencies, to the use of such drugs to destabilize the revolutionary youth movement. At nearly 300 pages (my copy), it […]
  • Did Jack Scott “Radicalize” The NBA’s Bill Walton?
    Did Jack Scott Radicalize NBA Star Bill Walton? Sadly, we have to note that Bill Walton (and Jack Scott) are no longer living. Walton was a hero for many where I grew up in Portland, Oregon. He was the star of an NBA championship, which I pretty much didn’t care about. Later, Walton was doing […]
  • Review: Gold Warriors – America’s Secret Recovery Of Yamashita’s Gold
    This book, “Gold Warriors”, by Sterling and Peggy Seagrave is really, really good. It can be expensive because it is out of print, but I bought it long ago and it has been waiting in my “to read” pile. Affordable copies can still be found, I ordered one for a friend and apparently it is […]
