Necropolitics
It’s 2024. It's been twenty years since I was in high school. It's been twenty-one years since the invasion of Iraq, and 23 years since the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Ephrata Borough and the Mystery of the Disappearing Crime Reports:
Alright folks, gather ‘round. Today, we're diving headfirst into a tale that’s got more twists than a politician's promise. Picture this: Ephrata Borough, a quaint little town in Pennsylvania, where the grass is green, the skies are blue, and apparently, the crime rates are as low as a snake’s belly in a wagon rut. But wait, is this charming facade hiding a darker truth? Are the Ephrata Borough and its police department playing a game of hide-and-seek with crime statistics to boost property values? Let’s unpack this conspiracy theory with a splash of satire, a dash of irreverence, and a sprinkle of “#WhatThEph is going on?”

Extreme socialism contains its own destruction
Extreme socialism contains its own destruction Be very careful what you wish for. The basic idealism of the anti-capitalists, extreme socialist and communist political activists, is simple. You take all the wealth from group A (all those who have above average wealth now) and you share this out with group B (the political leaders and senior bureaucrats of the new government) and group C (all those employed by the state) and group D ( everybody else)

Government Violence Against Peaceful Protesters in Sri Lanka
I shared with you two months ago that I finally published my first memoir - Feelings of Unreality. I hope to inspire interest and sales by sharing with you some quotes from the book… so far sales have been slow (as expected) and not exactly enough to feed me yet. I need that to change!

The Farce of Ephrata:

One Piece and Killing the Bad Guys. Content Warning.
I’ve hit, at this juncture, a point of political disillusionment of late. Running the risk of becoming too political for this platform, I will simply say that I am exhausted in the face of numerous regressive policies and incidents being parroted and enacted by the opposite side of the aisle from me. The codified manifesto which the other side proudly displays as the guiding principle for if they ever gain power again—a more likely future than I would like to admit—hangs like a specter over the future that I perceive, threatens the way of life of myself and everyone I know and care about. And I can’t help but think, how do we fix this? Sometimes in my heart of hearts, I think it would be better if the “bad guys” were removed from the equation entirely after their decisive defeat at the ballot box, but that’s not how a healthy democracy works. Sometimes, I wish we could send the wannabe fascists to the actual fascist nation waging war in Europe, wipe the dirt from our hands, start anew. But that’s not how things work.
