Conflicting Theories about Covid.
So called ‘conspiracy theories’ fill the void left by a lack of reliable information. Some of it is nonsense from people who cannot think straight and are led by influencers. Other theories are validated as real information emerges. We are starting to get a clear picture about the covid pandemic.

Basic Outcome Story
Here is chapter five of my story about Basic Incomes. It is really too big to do as a thread. I hope lots of people will read it can give me some feedback, so I can improve it and turn it into a novel.I think it will be a useful addition to the UBI discussions.

The Troubles of Toronto the Good.
There are reasons for Torontonians apparent apathy. However, it does not serve well in the age of neoliberalism. Things will get worse until the right kind of leaders emerge. They will not emerge through electoral processes, but by mass mobilization.

The Ukronazis must be stopped.
I have written about the Ukraine war again. It is the big story and will remain so until it is over. It is the only conflict which could lead to nuclear war. It is a proxy war with the west using Ukraine to attack Russia. Russia has already won it, but the west cannot accept defeat. This is what makes the situation so dangerous.

Dear RT; can you please stop Honking for the Honkies?
I just watched Fiorella Isobel, the RT reporter, lay a bad egg on twitter and then on RT news. Tsk! It has to do with the ongoing controversy about the “honkie” occupations last spring in Canada, and the inquiry now taking place about it.

I am just writing this because I am tired of political parties and Fair Vote Canada. I have become convinced that we need in Canada much more than just voting reform.

Who Is Winning the Ukraine War?
So what follows is why I think Russia will win the war. The simple answer is that I do not have my head stuck in the western media cognitive control bubble. To get a clear picture of what is going on, you do have to follow Russian media.

Election Time in Toronto
to be in favor of a revolution to end capitalism and create locally based authentic democracies seems to be going mainstream. This does not mean that you ignore electoral politics. However, you should focus most of your limited time, energy, and money on bringing about a better way.

Maskology
The good thing about the great pandemic is that people now know what they need to do to eliminate infectious diseases world wide. We will be wearing masks for a long time, but finally a generation will grow up not knowing what a cold or the flu is, let alone covid. The disposable respirators of today will be seen only in museums.
