04/23/25: Matt's NOT on vacation. CISA: "According to our satellite, he's hard at work." CNN has denied that M. is O.V. Acclaimed Witness To African Maga-Racists Jussie Smollett: "He's NEVER been on vacation." WDC District Judge "Jeb" Bungee-Cord: "Taibbi will never BE on vacation." Klaus Potato-Head: "Harrumph!" --- OH, NEVER MIND. We now return to our regular programming.
Ground baby heads are controversial because it's absolutely ridiculous to get the heads pre-ground. Starbucks and other global conglomerates sell perfectly good baby head grinders so you can do the grinding yourself at home. That way you can get the perfect grind size, allowing you to tailor brain matter extraction to your preferred settings.
I actually got my grinder at a thrift store, because the used ones that predate the Obama era safety controls requiring an automatic blade shutoff upon opening are so much better. If you can't keep your fingers out of your ground baby heads without big brother's help, you don't know what you're doing.
I still have my grandmother's baby head grinder in the basement. Of course it's hand operated and clamps to a kitchen table. It doesn't get much use these days but I can't bring myself to get rid of it. I like to think about all the baby heads Grammy put through that thing. With 6 kids it must have been a full time job finding the babies!
All the baby heads in my local stores are GMO. I can’t get a good, organic baby head unless I grow it at home … but it takes forever, and the crop yield is so damned small. Not worth the effort.
Yeah - I’m SURE he plans to spend the rest of his life in an Ashram in a loincloth picking poppies and eating grubs.
These a$$holes always know when the wind has turned and seem to grab the landing skid on the last chopper off the roof of their penthouses. Haven’t heard much from John Fucking Kerry in a bit. Those guys are schmucks in the truest definition of the word.
Putz is actually a better descriptor. Per Google AI: Both "schmuck" and "putz" are Yiddish slang terms, and both are used to describe someone who is foolish, stupid, or contemptible. While they share a similar meaning, "schmuck" is generally considered a more general and common term for a foolish person, while "putz" can imply a more malicious or worthless individual.
I was her mailman out on Nantucket when Sen. Heinz was alive. He was a great guy.
Her? Eh (shrug).
Kerry was, is, and always will be a world-class dipshit in my book.
I read a story in Boston Magazine a long time ago that said when he was at St. Paul’s School in the early 60’s, he’d have all of his shirt sleeves monogrammed with “JFK”, his initials. His schoolmates used to snicker and say, “Yeah - ‘Just For Kerry’!”
04/23/25: And that oh-so-brave act of tossing his medals over the White House fence in the 1970s, protesting Vietnam. He could do it again today with the trinkets Iran gave him...
Extremely disturbing. What’s more disturbing is that there are plenty of dolts out there that would welcome this Globalist Big Brother scheme to run their lives.
That's funny, but I've encountered many reasonable Canadians online, and we have plenty of Americans who think the WEF has the best plans for the future.
I deal with Canadians every day because we have a JV with a Canadian company that's been in place for years. So, I realize it's not all Canadians who love living in a weak kneed Nanny State.
But a whole lot of them do. Especially the Peasouper's in Quebec and the holier than thou granola hippies in BC.
British Columbia is very much like California, only CCP Chinese from Hong Kong have bought-out Vancouver, by and large. And the Chinese gangs are a force to be reckoned with. CCP China is colonizing by buying vast numbers of private properties, rather than through military strength, At least for now. To paraphrase Warren Buffett, this is what ‘colonization by purchase rather than conquest’ looks like."
Quebec is an issue in itself and has been for several centuries. Though they would never make it as an independent country. They don't really care about WOKE....they care about blackmailing a living out of the rest of Canada.
Then there is Toronto....
But outside of this, you can find many intelligent non-WOKE Canadians. Some of them on this comment board even!
As a white guy from the Deep South I find the Caucasian holier than thou granola hippies in BC more annoying than any of them.. except the French Canadians.
The French Canadians are as arrogant and insufferable as anyone on the face of the planet.
Yeah very disappointed in Canadians. Literally no one could believe a 4th term would help anything. The country is rapidly sinking into poverty and crime but who cares about that! It’s Trump derangement every day on the state run media. Red meat to the gnarling masses. 1984 is real.
Now, now. Canadians are just miguided, and who can fault them? They live in the Great White North. They come out of the woods every so often, look around and say, "Hey Buddy! Are my beaver pelts ready?" Then they watch American TV, and think the world has gone to Hell, which is correct, it has. So they collect supplies for the end of the world, and Canadians will still be trading beaver pelts long after the nuclear/climate/racial/class/generational/sex - Yes, Please!, apocalypse!
To be fair (well, at least being fair to me…), I remember sitting in front of my TV and cheering the passage of NAFTA at a late night session of Congress. It was such a big deal that NBC and the other networks (‘member when we actually watched them?) carried the vote live.
Without the outsourcing of costs to Mexico, China, India, etc. back then, you wanna tell me how the hell we’d be watching stuff on our 65” flatscreens? How about having a coupla desktops and laptops in our homes, maybe a mobile phone for work PLUS one for calling our buds for beers after work (clarification: “buds” as in buddies, not as in Bud Light)?
In other words, instead of building our instantaneous global community in sweatshops thousands of miles out of our sight, how would we have created these life and society changing instruments in our own communities where we, our parents, and our families and friends could work and affords our comfortable lives?
Pardon the run-on stream of consciousness sentence, there…
Most of us that are reading and writing here grew up with kids who are now working in and even perhaps running Silicon Valley, Wall Street, The Beltway, and capital cities around the world.
Are these kids evil? For the most part - no.
The point I’m trying to make here is that, like it or not, globalism has worked - not without leaving serious societal issues that must be dealt with, but this is the rising tide lifting boats that Reagan extolled.
Unfortunately there are eternal conditions that we haven’t figured out ways to solve: namely that there are winners and losers in every game. If socialism, fascism, or other -isms could work while allowing for a dignified way of life that fostered charity AND striving, maybe we’d have tinkered with civilization enough after 35,000 years to live as one (in Lennon’s terms, not Lenin’s).
If you’re still reading, though, to get back to Rokko’s succinct observation - I NEVER thought of globalism as a way to let the Foster Smythe-Schwartzes III’s and Buffy Rousseau’s run my life. I did think of it as an enlightened way of evening out resources to help everyone live better.
My wife’s kicking out my soap box from under my feet, so I guess I have to leave it at that, this morning…
Yes, various aspects of globalism, and the loosening of financial oversight that proceeded it a la Thatcherism and Reaganomics, were necessary and good. But, as with all things, it stretched too far and needs to be pulled back and looked at. This is normal, and also good. The biggest issue at this point seems that we have too many entrenched interests who have, ever so slightly, and over many many years, bent things to provide only one outcome: self-enrichment at the expense of others. And now those others are starting to push back, and due to the amount of time the has passed, the trenches are deep, and thus need an ugly monster to break past them.
No one thing is constant, no one thing is perfect.
You don't really believe that's all they want out of this deal....do you?
Production of whatever kind is just a minor subset in the whole affair known as globalism. Mainly, it is meant to lead to a serf/elite state. A form of totalitarianism.
Yes, we’ll put. One unfortunate outcome of poorly managed globalization trends in the U.S. over the past 30+ years (Clinton era & following) has been the pervasive continuing depression of wages for what once was the broad working class. Now many of the former working middle class (and their offspring) are now the working poor. Their lost true wages have largely been socialized thru increased federal welfare. This is definitely not a societal benefit: the fabric of the nuclear family has been greatly weakened which partially has resulted in our degraded culture. I suggest those who wish to learn more read Michael Lind.
Very disturbing. "You'll eat your gruel, and you will like it!" Seems ominous not from a capitalistic perspective but because they appear smugly comfortable telling me what I will and won't like.
Sadly, yes. CBS said it was too violent. Now look where CBS is. If Jim were alive today I'm sure he would say something like, "If you want to catch the bad guys, you have to crack a few heads."
I'm aware there has been quite a variety of popes, and that the origins of precious little in the Abrahamic traditions can unimpeachably be claimed with certainty. And that both of those are understatements.
Add 8 + 8, and you get the Karmic Debt number 16, the Fallen Tower, also called Phoenix rising. Adding 1 + 6 produces the most spiritual single digit number - the 7.
The 16 Karmic Debt number has produced more people of wisdom and sainthood than any other number. This is a particularly unique Power number. The 8 is the visionary, the 16 the Karmic seeker and searcher (often as a result of loss and loneliness), and the 7, the number of spiritual growth.
A 7 based on 88 is a number of great potential, but mainly in the spiritual realm. A 7 based on 88 that directs its attention toward worldly gain is a recipe for disaster."
I had to laugh. This is the view from 100,000 ft, where everything looks great. The necessary who, what, when, where, why, how fine detail is left for another day.
I got this using a simple web search for free, not too long after it first came out. I have read it, and it is safe to say (to modify the well-known phrase) that it is not a bargain at half the price...
I was a librarian. Since I couldn’t bear to trash or steal a book, I would do the next best thing— I would hide it in the dead poets section. I didn’t do that very often but sometimes ………. Of course, it would pop up again later but in my blue collar town it might take a while. You would be surprised how many books would just walk out the door. With security in bigger libraries it might have stopped some of the “disappearing “.
Having lived a big chunk of my childhood in Europe, I can verify that there has always been a whiff of noblesse oblige elitism amongst decade old families who still cling to their “ titles “… I always figured this is where Klaus Schwab came from…..their MO has never changed…. Once a serf, always a serf … they are vile and don’t care one Schnitzel about our well being.
Same in Britain. The globalist royals just put on a better show of "caring" for the serfs. When actually many of the serfs are more intelligent and accomplished than the royals.
I have nothing against wealth and success but the fact that the rich can't just be rich without inserting their rigged game grift and nut case ideologies into the politics, economics and lives of ordinary people is a pretty good argument for a leveling of the playing field.
Frederick X of Denmark being a WEF-fie....would that have anything to do with Denmark holding Greenland for dear life? I mean, the Danes took Greenland from Norway to begin with. It's not all about altruism.
Belatedly way off topic but I wanted to thank you for your ATW reference to the Aussie program Rake. I figured if you liked it I probably would. And if that’s not one of finest series ever made I don’t know what is. It shows how great TV can be when it’s not Puritanical.
Actually..no one from the WEF ever said "You`ll own nothing and you'll be happy.
Ida Auken a Member of Denmarks Parliament, (Folketinget) said it on his own blog page WEC gave him to write his thoughts.

“controversial to some.”
Well if it were controversial to all or not controversial to any, it wouldn’t be controversial.
Good point.
Amen. Enjoy the…vacation?

Amazing lack of diversity in that stack of baby heads you got there. Ahem.
Sounds like a PKD story...
Or Monty Python. Or the original album cover for the Beatles’ “Yesterday and Today.”
You haven't lived until you've had them shishkabob'd over a spit. I heard the Clintons have a really good spice rub they use.
A burr grinder is much better than the rotary kind.
04/23/25: Have I stumbled into a loony bin here?
Seven of the doctors say we’re doing much better now.
I think the point is, not compared to Davos.
I still have my grandmother's baby head grinder in the basement. Of course it's hand operated and clamps to a kitchen table. It doesn't get much use these days but I can't bring myself to get rid of it. I like to think about all the baby heads Grammy put through that thing.

It’s hard to get a head
This would be the perfect place to insert the Alonzo Mourning gif.
In Schwab’s perverse circle of wealthy pedos grinding baby heads means something entirely different. The babies are helpless and alive.
Bah!! When I was Klaus’ age, we used to eat the baby head whole. Kids today!! SMDH
I remember when the baby heads were still attached to the stalks and we had to separate them, and compost the bodies.
One good thing coming out of this Gaza-harvest, the heads come to us already removed.
Klaus Blofeld Schwab. Been wanting to post this since the announcement.
Yeah - I’m SURE he plans to spend the rest of his life in an Ashram in a loincloth picking poppies and eating grubs.

Excellent point. Where IS John Kerry? Doesn’t he realize a nation turns its lonely eyes to the married-to-the-condiment heir for guidance?!
I was her mailman out on Nantucket when Sen. Heinz was alive. He was a great guy.
Her? Eh (shrug).
Kerry was, is, and always will be a world-class dipshit in my book.

Hahaha!
Proud Portsmouth Abbey Raven!
You are being too kind..

AKA, Dr Evil.
He couldn't look more like a Bond villain if he tried.
Klaus Mengele Schwab
He is the progeny of a known Nazi/Nazi collaborator.
Fitting.
Promoting the youth: Peter Brabeck-Letmathe is only 80 years old.
Sounds like our Senate and Congressional “leaders.”
That WEF video is disturbing.
The Pope dies at 88. Klaus Schwab “retires” at 88. Still my least favorite number.
Extremely disturbing. What’s more disturbing is that there are plenty of dolts out there that would welcome this Globalist Big Brother scheme to run their lives.
They're called "Canadians".
Hey, careful there.....
Canada still has some excellent thinkers. But we are outnumbered by the many sheep of low self-differentiation.
Ever read the Julius Ruechel Substack? https://juliusruechel.substack.com/p/14-questions-about-the-51st-state
Just joking...sort of.
That's funny, but I've encountered many reasonable Canadians online, and we have plenty of Americans who think the WEF has the best plans for the future.

The French Canadians are as arrogant and insufferable as anyone on the face of the planet.
That’s why I don’t want to see Canada as our 51st state.
Too many of them want too much from the government.
That's some solid reconnoitering for someone who sounds like he's backed up in a trailer park.
Don't knock it.
We've got the only double-wide in the park and a great view.
I think it is not so much about being American or Canadian as it is about being WOKE vs. non-WOKE.
Each country has both.
Liberal voting Canadians
There are double sets of "Two Solitudes" in Canada:
The English and the French
The WOKE and the non-WOKE
🤣🤣💀💀
Yeah very disappointed in Canadians. Literally no one could believe a 4th term would help anything. The country is rapidly sinking into poverty and crime but who cares about that! It’s Trump derangement every day on the state run media. Red meat to the gnarling masses. 1984 is real.

All the honchos there are like Bond villains.
Ever since the branding consultants suggested they drop the name S.P.E.C.T.E.R.
Hail HYDRA!
Central Casting has been emptied out.
Very disturbing. "You'll eat your gruel, and you will like it!" Seems ominous not from a capitalistic perspective but because they appear smugly comfortable telling me what I will and won't like.
Big fan of your work with Jim West. And so jealous of your train car.
Thanks, it was a cool perk.
😂
Loved that show!
Ha! Didn’t it get canceled because it was too violent?
Sadly, yes. CBS said it was too violent. Now look where CBS is. If Jim were alive today I'm sure he would say something like, "If you want to catch the bad guys, you have to crack a few heads."
60’s shows had the best fistfights. Robert Conrad did all of his own stunts!
Conrad had the honor of being in a “Colombo” episode, and (warning) he was not an innocent bystander.
Yes, I noticed that 88 number coincidence too.
Not that I ever believed Francis was the authentic Pope.
We need to bring back the days of the Pope and Anti-pope.
In the authentic Catholic Church and the Deep State Church.
Authentic Pope is only sold on a rope.
They’re back already. One (Francis) just died, the other (Klaus) just retired.
What is an "authentic Pope"?
I, also, am dying to know
The one who lives in Avignon.
Do you know your Catholicism? Very well?
I'm aware there has been quite a variety of popes, and that the origins of precious little in the Abrahamic traditions can unimpeachably be claimed with certainty. And that both of those are understatements.
So you advocate just tossing it all out the window then?
Life is not like that.
Defenestration.
I didn't say that. Is it really that hard to answer the question? If so, how do we know what you mean? Or are you just fishing for winks?
If he did would he be asking?
Nope.
Nobody knows anything. Though important, that's too long a story.

Bro, in a world where 37 exists, you are far off base.
Celebrity deaths come in 3’s, right? So who’s next?
Clint Eastwood?
Bite your tongue!
I still think Klaus is going to wind up with his head in a jar, badgering us about eating bugs for the next century.
Futurama.
I see him as an astronaut, like Katy Perry and Dr Evil.
Very likely!
Klaus Schwab and his body doubles George Soros and Son. Where’s Bond when you need him.
Have a well deserved no way, no how is it a vacation vacation, Matt.
Enjoy your not a vacation! A well-deserved rest.
Tell Klaus to take that ugly hairless cat with him.
Don’t forget to review Schwab’s book ‘Covid 19, The Great Reset’. Down to $8.99 on Amazon.
It’s not on the “free” book table yet?
I think they've pulped all copies, to make new egg cartons or something.
Maybe a new type of food, like chocolate covered cotton or grasshoppers.

Take care Matthew ... have fun n stay safe on you're not-vacation vacation ;)
Matt - are you headed to Green Bay for the NFL Draft?
If Walter is to be believed, yes.
So who do you think will be ushered-in as the next head of WEF?
Justin Troodo is out of work just now. Although he is not too bright.
If Mark Carney fails to win the Canadian federal election next week......I think WEF might install him.
How ‘bout if the WEF just folds?
Nah, they're too evil to just go away.
They may go underground, though.
Depending on Swiss law, they may lose their assets that way.
Turdeau would fit right in with the EU elites--intelligence level is nearly perfectly matched.
I fervently hope for that outcome, he’d rather be in Europe anyway
Same here, Pat.
Carney holds three passports. A stake in Canadian politics is just Carney hedging his personal bets.
Or maybe one of the WEF-acolyte royals, from Britain or Europe.
Prince Andrew?
I have nothing against wealth and success but the fact that the rich can't just be rich without inserting their rigged game grift and nut case ideologies into the politics, economics and lives of ordinary people is a pretty good argument for a leveling of the playing field.

Belatedly way off topic but I wanted to thank you for your ATW reference to the Aussie program Rake. I figured if you liked it I probably would. And if that’s not one of finest series ever made I don’t know what is. It shows how great TV can be when it’s not Puritanical.
It’s a fantastic series! 💗 Rake!
Have a great vacation Matt

"Author's note: Some people have read this blog as my utopia or dream of the future. It is not. It is a scenario showing where we could be heading - for better and for worse....
Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city - or should I say, "our city". I don't own anything. I don't own a car. I don't own a house. I don't own any appliances or any clothes....."

Member of Parliament, Parliament of Denmark (Folketinget)
