Con Fusion Reigns MEDIA REVIEW: Recent articles in science raise an alarm of the falsification of the virtues presumed by scientists. The extolling of the wonders of Cold Fusion come back to save us from the brink are not helpful to readers nor a favor to scientists. We;re beyond alchemy and high priests and should keep it that way.

The 1996 Olympic Bombing: The Army of God, the Voice of God, and a Godforsaken World Film Review: Richard Jewell. The still-relevant account of what happened at Olympic Park, Atlanta back in 1996, when bad journalism, bad policing, and bad hombres converged to celebrate our nihilistic future. More bathetic than pathetic, what happened to Jewell is not rare any more in the Internet age.

Science and The Turf Wars of Consciousness Book Review: Galileo's Error: Foundations for a New Science of Consciousness by Philip Goff. Cogent take on the late stage developments of the mind-body problem. I quite enjoyed Goff's introduction to panpsychism as a bridge.

Dys-topia, Dat-topia, U-topia, Meh Opies. Whaddya gonna do. One minute high, next minute low. What a bipolar world we live in. How's about we stop populating excessively, realizing we can't all be middle class. Someone will have to do the dishes. It'll get ugly. We need a world government, like Einstein said. Of course, he developed the Bomb. Oy-veh.

America's Penis Envy of the Nazis STREAMING TV SERIES REVIEW: This is a compare/contrast review of two anti-Nazi TV series, Hunters and The Plot Against America. Both are well worth the watch/ Pacono is epecially effective in his role in Hunters. But John Turturro is magnificent as a conflicted rabbi in Plot.

The Black Bottom Where Levee's About to Break FILM REVIEW: Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. August Wilson's play brings us from the cotton fields and gospel to Black blues and freedom to Chicago and white exploitation of Black music turned into R and B and white man's burden blues. A tight film adaptation of an excellent play.

Russiagate 2: Listen to the Blatherscheiss Fly Opinion Piece: Russiagate 2 is boring and I say why. I'm with Glenn Greenwald on this one. Who says there was any hacking at all and why should we believe them. Let's connect the dots. I literally do (see my headline image).

The Military Coup That Almost Was (And Maybe Is) Nixon and the coup that almost was -- and, according to Frank Church, maybe Is. You can see how Trump might have been trying to channel Nixon, by threatening coups and trying get the military to surround the White House (he had to settle for a black chain link fence instead of white soldiers arms interlinked), but nobody was Nixon, the evil, and consummate politician stupid enough to record all in the WH offices. OUCH.

Daniel Ellsberg: Doomsday ex machina Book Review: The Doomsday Machine by Daniel Ellsberg. The author is the most revered whistleblower in American history for his leaking of the Pentagon Papers. This book is his "other Pentagon Papers" that blows the lid of the secret planning that goes into imagining the unimaginable: nuclear holocaust. Rich and riveting read. UPDATE at end.

The Girl Who Wore a Hijab and Kicked Up a Hornet's Nest in Congress Book Review: This Is What America Looks Like by Ilhan Omar. An intriguing memoir of one young Somali's life, including the devastated state left behind, the great expectations for coming to America, and the fight to assimilate in Minneapolis's Little Somalia and her unlikely rise in politics given her conservative cultural background. She's feisty and smart, and anyone who tells a bully to his face he's a mofo is alright by me

Cogito Ergo Sum: I Think Not (Part 3): The Mighty Whitey Becomes as God Creative Non-Fiction: A Creation Story: In the Beginning Was the Mighty Whitey. Part 3 of 3. The peculiarities of our species is drawn with some levity and mirth. Things weren't right from the Beginning and I try to explain why. Ordinarily, blasphemy might be in play, but ever since Nietzsche murdered God and postmodernism says nothing is true it's all permitted (nod to Jim Carroll Band, Catholic Boy) here we are at the End...
