I was never a fan of the Beach Boys, I did grow up in Southern California near surfing beaches. I liked Dick Dale, and still have an LP.
I hope to actually write on Substack, but am concerned about anonymity. That will become important depending on the govt. response to COVID pushbacks and the response to the election results.
I also took the name because of the ongoing criticism of CA that I find online. What a surprise that is.
Dick Dale played his guitar "wrong", so nobody else could sound like him, and he hit those heavy strings hard. What a guitarist!
I lived in and near San Diego until I was 6 1/2, and Dad got orders (USMC) in late 1964. It's ok to not dig the Beachboys. I never bought their albums, but I did buy Dick Dale's and the Ventures'.
I too lived in San Diego until after the Korean War. My dad was in the USMC.
I had to look up who did Pipeline, it was the Chantays. I liked that song. The only surf music I have now is Dick Dale. I was not much on the Ventures. I got stuck on The Doors, they completely moved my interest.
'EU Warns "Citizens" To Prepare For A Nuclear Disaster A report published on Wednesday by former Finnish President Sauli Niinisto, says that EU citizens should start stockpiling three days’ worth of goods in order to be ready for various potential disasters, including a nuclear conflict. The initiative is part of the EU’s push to make the bloc more resilient in the face of supposedly mounting threats, ranging from natural disasters to a major military conflict'
The real question for sentient Europeans is whether the USA is a greater threat to them than Russia. Who blew up Nordstream II? The USA, the better to sell LNG at 500% the price of Russian gas. Who orders NATO countries to buy US weapons at ridiculously inflated prices? The USA.
It's arguable that the way for the EU to prepare for whatever might come is to simply resign en masse from NATO and declare neutrality with regard to all conflicts in which the USA is a leading proponent (namely Ukraine, Gaza, potentially in Taiwan, Iran, Yemen, who knows where else?)
It's also arguable now that the 'anti-globalists' i.e. we the people should tell Bill Gates in no uncertain terms where to stick his 'playing at God'. Why should we listen to a paedophile monopolist who has killed Africans and Asians in appalling clinical trials of already failed US medicines? Why should money be the measure of wisdom, which is the only criterion for being a leader. Gates solely understands how to become richer and richer, surrounding himself with more and more sycophants feeding off his greed, his wealth etc.
The leadership the world needs is the opposite of 'business leadership'. It needs empowering leaders who are devoid of ego.
My new religion involves showing up the billionaires for the corrupt criminals and ignorami that they so often are. Showing up their vaccines for what they are. Showing up their censorship for what it is. Showing up their warmongering for what it is.
It doesn't involve going to a church, it involves exposing the truth to whosoever one can expose it to.

My thanks for your compilation of articles I would have never found on my own.
I wonder who will be surprised by the election results. Too much suspense!
Love the photo!

You are welcome.
We shall see.

Our dads were "leathernecks" together in Korea, but I wasn't in the world yet.
It's Guy Fawkes Day here in Australia, and The Circus Is In Town in America...
We no longer celebrate Guy Fawkes Day. in Australia The Authorities used the
excuse of the occasional injury by a kid mishandling a cracker to ban our enjoyment.
We've been reduced to spectators of Fireworks Displays sponsored by corporations...
I expect Trump will win the US presidential election - as the Deep State intended...
He's the ideal candidate to blame for the predicted economic crash (and rout the
populist voters)... And the FBI-CIA will be able to release their havoc agents, BLM and
Intifa ,to create conditions for the imposition of the national digital prison expected
to be fully implemented by 2030... If the Deep State really is against Trump, why was
Kamala selected over competent others ? If the Deep State really dont want Trump
elected - they are REALLY STUPID !
The Deep State has factions, which have been and seem to be, in a power struggle...
We'll see. It is really complex and will be "worked" by most of humanity over decades.

I can't see how chaos and violence will serve the billionaires, so I will stay very cautiously optimistic...
Thanks for the summary, Dr. John!
