Black Swan Sighted!

WARNING! BLACK SWAN SIGHTED

If you Google the term “black swan,” you’ll likely be overwhelmed with references to a movie starring Natalie Portman. But you must keep scrolling. Those of you who have taken a course in statistics are familiar with the term “black swan,” because one black swan is all you need to overturn (falsify) the hypothesis that all swans in nature are white. This notion that all swans are white cannot be proven because one cannot observe all swans. Black swans are...

October surprise?

OCTOBER SURPRISE?

An October surprise is often an unplanned event the month before the general election (though, it could conceivably be a staged event as well.) An example of what many see as a staged event is when, in 1968 with the unpopular bombing of North Vietnam in full swing, President Johnson (D) announced the weekend before the election, that there would be a halt to the bombing and he held out the suggestion of peace talks. This was an initiative that...

Putin and Poo

PUTIN AND POO

Aesop is a legendary figure of whom many ancient writers speak of.  In his early years, he was quite possibly a slave, but eventually earned his freedom.  He was arrested in the Greek city of Delphi for insulting the Delphians, and thrown off a cliff to his death. Aesop was said to have written 725 fables which still exist and which were meant for entertainment purposes, but which also convey a moral or practical message to readers.  In this post (Putin and Poo)...

PUTIN’S DOGS

СОБАКИ ПУТИНА There is an old saying that the best thing about a man is his dogs. Unlike cats, dogs take the responsibility and do the heavy lifting when it comes to bonding with a person. They seek approval from people. Dogs will perform hilarious and sometimes humiliating tricks for a treat. Try getting a cat to perform. I’ve always gotten along with dog owners. I find that regardless of the breed, dog owners are most often friendly and it...

Россия стоит перед новой угрозой. Россия может оказаться на грани гражданской войны, поскольку Евгений Пригожин идет маршем на Ростов, российский город вблизи Украины, в котором проживает более 32 000 человек. [Пожалуйста, имейте в виду, что все эти новостные сообщения следует считать ненадежными, поскольку интенсивность этой истории растет с каждой минутой. Но я собрал их как можно лучше из газет, доступных в Интернете. Я не могу лично поручиться за все, что написано ниже”.] В конце пятницы западные СМИ сообщили о поисках...

Mythology of War

THE MYTHOLOGY OF WAR

In a widely read interview with Politico Magazine, Dr. Fiona Hill, former Senior Director at the National Security Council and a Russian policy expert said of Vladimir Putin on the eve of his invasion of Ukraine: “I’ve kind of quipped about this but I also worry about it in all seriousness — that Putin’s been down in the archives of the Kremlin during Covid looking through old maps and treaties and all the different borders that Russia has had over...

Exit, pursued by a bear

EXIT, PURSUED BY A BEAR

Wars and rumors of war In His Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24), Jesus spoke of the end times, specifically of “wars and rumors of war,” warning that these were signs that the end was approaching. Indeed, we’ve had perhaps hundreds of such conflicts since He first spoke these words. So, war is nothing new. What is new is the ability of one person with his finger on the “button” to destroy civilization. I recently heard Ret. US Army General Wesley Clark,...
