I was looking at the stats, almost 40,000 hits to this site, no advertisements, nothing flashy, very few pictures and only one other blogger ever pushed people in my direction, thanks Zuma, maybe someday we will meet. The blog has been up since 2007; but, I have also deleted everything twice and almost a third time.
The Pimpernel has a couple of medical conditions that I must address soon. Nothing substantial. I have hid from my doctors for the past five years except my ex-therapist. I liked him and he never poked me with needles. LOL. I cannot believe how many posts I have made, I cannot believe the people who have commented or followed this blog or all the amazing ways in which just being ourselves can effect others.
I am considering changing the format of the blog a bit. I am considering turning this into a place where I post articles from different parts of the country and world that were not picked up by the mainstream media. It is an idea I had a long time ago. There used to be a news show that played late at night in the US that was sort of a summary of stories from around the nation. I was thinking that posting links to foreign nations take on news from the US might be interesting. The story may be the same; but, seeing how much everyone agrees or disagrees might be informative. It is just something I am considering.
I am also considering making a movie (YouTube documentary). It would be about peoples perspective on why they don't or didn't go to church. It would be for Christians, so that they understand what they do that keeps people from considering Christianity. I am still working the concept out; but, I have a friend who made some shorts for college that has indicated he would be willing to assist. Heck, I might even do it as a kickstarter project. I just don't know how much I would need. At most I am figuring a couple thousand. I don't know what I would give to contributors, maybe send them a cookie? Another thought in process; but, I did speak to the lead pastor and he thought it might be worthwhile. If I do, it will obviously be dedicated to Pastor Daniels who kept me preaching even when only when one other person showed up. Maybe I couldn't tell anyone that because it might identify me. Lets see if I bother making it first.
Still be alive has been confusing to me. I have wondered why I am still here and what I should do with my time. I am thinking that I have made a mistake. I have wondering what I should do as I approach retirement rather than what I like to do. I like writing and I like film. I have always loved those things and unlike gymnastics, chess or art, can still do them. I did what I thought I should do with my life because I believed it was my highest calling; but, I gave up my passion, I gave up artistic expression. I didn't understand how much I missed art until I began this blog. I will never be able to draw again, my arthritis prevents that; but, I can still write.
My lead pastor and one of our elders has consistently said that I know what I am supposed to be doing. They are wrong and right. I don't know what my calling is; but, I do know my passion and my passion is for explaining to others things that they may have missed and I believe I do it best in writing. I may not be a great writer; but, I am a writer and have a couple thousand posts on this blog and more on other sites that say there are people who want to hear my voice. Now to the news.
The Guardian - How capitalism's great relocation pauperised America's 'middle class'. A pretty good article about how capitalism has worked out and destroyed the United States at the same time. Right now we are protecting the poppy fields in Afghanistan, that is capitalism. Protecting people so that they can sell Heroin in the United States. The United States was built partially on slavery, that was also capitalism. I believe in managed markets and economies, I think there should be laws and limits. I think everyone should have a chance and extremism calling itself capitalism does not. I think we should succeed based on our efforts not on our luck or ability to cheat others.
Mail Online - Toddler buys rundown Austin Healey Sprite on eBay after playing with her father's smartphone ... and her parents decide to keep it. This particular story was published worldwide. A little kid playing with his father's smartphone managed to accidentally buy a car. To my regular readers, can you figure out how this will be used? It is not hard if you follow my posts. This is why your phone will need to recognize you and others who might use your phones. Leading the sheep to the answer we want them to ask for, personal identification for all financial transactions.
The Independent - Exclusive: Mice with human chromosomes - the genetic breakthrough that could revolutionise medicine. Isn't this fantastic (extreme sarcasm), combining human and animal DNA might save us all. I guess they don't understand how it can also cause disease to jump from one species to another. Here is a line from the article, "However, researchers in the US and Japan are already well advanced in making “mini” human chromosomes called HACs (human artificial chromosomes), by either paring down an existing human chromosome or making them “de novo” in the lab from smaller chemical building blocks."
Hope you enjoy the nights reading. Comments and thoughts are always welcome.

The story about the tot buying a car just sounded bogus to me. I think Dad bought it outright, then Mom was mad so Dad blamed it on baby. I'm not a big ebay user and a smartphone app may be very, very simplified but a one year old accidentally taking howevermany steps to buy a car?
I don't believe it.
Dearest Robbie,
Nice to know you still stop by time and again. Hugs. I don't know if the father told the truth or not, I am much more concerned with how it will be used.
The media manipulates and down right lies. Their job is to influence public opinion and when they do it well they get paid well by advertisers.
This particular story about the kid may indeed be a lie; but, it is possible and that is the point that matters. The media wants us to accept personal identification being required for all transactions and this is just one step in proving to us why we should accept it.
Someone said once that we should never let a good crisis go to waste, that we should use them to push bigger agendas. The same is true for all news stories. The thing to keep an eye on is the agenda and direction. You do that by following the infrastructure. I told you that years ago and nothing has changed.
I also told you how the internet would be filtered as it now is in many countries, including Australia. I told you how the economy was going to crash as it did.
The things that are being discussed today, I told you about standing under a roof in the great northwest while it rained and I smoked. My words have not changed and my blog is a testament to my words.
I was incredibly scared the day I called up people I knew, people I cared about and told them the year, month, week, day and hour when the marker would crash. I believed I would lose all credibility if I was wrong; but, I was right and they all know it. I told the son of a billionaire and a couple of millionaires. Some of them still read this blog and cannot deny it.
I was not right because I was told what would happen. I was not right because I know all as I do not know all. I was right because it was planned and orchestrated. I ignored the show and focused on the infrastructure and systematic failures that had to lead to an outcome.
We cannot know the truth, all the media is spun. The only thing we can do is try and figure out where we are being and who benefits. That is about it. Hugs.
