As Russia readies for the roll-out of the Winter Olympics in early February 2014 the focus shifts to acts of terrorism that stand to threaten the event. Two recent suicide bombings have killed 30 people, both bearing the trademark of Jihadists from the outlying regions that were former Soviet client-states. An editorial in “Russia Today” […]

Tom Laughlin, Star of “Billy Jack” Has Died

Tom Laughlin, Star of “Billy Jack” Has Died

Tom Laughlin, the stoic and flawed hero of the Billy Jack movies has died at age 82. It was Laughlin’s “Billy Jack” that inspired me to invest a lifetime studying martial arts. Laughlin’s character was more tangible than the more distant battles of Bruce Lee, and “Billy Jack” was played out in a contemporary “cowboy […]

The book pictured above, “Old Nazis, the New Right, and the Republican Party” describes in detail the embarrassment to the George H.W. Bush campaign when this was revealed. The vehicle for […]

But hold on to your calculators fellow finger-pointers – this piece will set the baseline for how the shit hit the fan. David Stockman was Saint Reagan’s […]

The Easy Way to Grow Potatoes

The Easy Way to Grow Potatoes

I’ve been involved in conventional and organic farming for years, both in Oregon and Washington State. Currently, we have building projects (including our house) that take priority, so serious farming is on hold for now. In the mean time, we still have a small garden for salad greens, squash and other compact crops. Lately, I’ve […]

2013: Obama Begins “Channeling” JFK

There is an emerging parallel between President John F. Kennedy and President Obama. The recent negotiations with the Russians over Syria make a good case that Obama has been waiting for his second term to make significant progress in American foreign policy. Let’s start with Kennedy; even respected icons of the “left elite” like Noam […]

During the last Presidential election, which ultimately pitted Obama against Mitt Romney – I became aware of a whole bunch of young folk around our community who were big fans of Ron Paul. “What the fuck?” I thought… Here were a bunch of nice, pot smoking, lefty-type kids that were turning away from Obama and […]

  • 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 […]
