Control the Narrative and You Control the People
Control the Narrative and You Control the People It is extremely difficult to get where you are going if you don’t know where you presently are.

Impotence and Denial: The Desperate Virtue Signaling Voices
IMPOTENCE AND DENIAL: THE DESPERATE VIRTUE SIGNALING VOICES Regardless of whether we are speaking of individuals or groups, what is not said is often far more important and enlightening than what is.

Wisdom, Experience and Just-In-Time Thinking
Wisdom, Experience and Just-In-Time Thinking I try to remind myself each generation considers itself smarter than the previous iteration. If you follow the bouncing logic ball, this means the next (younger) generation believes itself smarter than its present day cohort. In essence the millennial generation of today feels superior to those older than them while […]
This and That Vol. 4–Mid Winter Musings
THIS AND THAT VOL 4 – MID WINTER MUSINGS Probably the one topic Mrs. Cog and I return to more often than any other is our amazement how so many people who profess awareness and understanding of the coming chaos and hard times remain firmly rooted in their present situation. Despite acknowledging the runaway train […]

There was no wiggle room on the […]
This and That Vol 3 – Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire
This and That Vol 3 – Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire There are a couple of phrases I often use to neatly describe the personal and social dysfunction exploding into view these days. On the personal side, my “We are only as sick as our deepest darkest secrets” perfectly illustrates how personally damaging those things […]
The American Way: Mindless Pursuit
The American Way: Mindless Pursuit It’s actually embarrassing if I’m to be frank and honest in my opinion. How many times during my adult life did I hear ‘leadership’ proclaim they are simply defending ‘The American Way’ without ever really thinking about what constituted the way “We the People” live? Sure I gave passing consideration […]
Loose Cannon
LOOSE CANNON Back in the days of sword and sail, warships mounted heavy cannon on their decks in such a way as to maximize their range of fire. Out of necessity, this meant the cannon were not permanently fixed in place and needed to be properly lashed to the deck during high seas or violent […]
