In This Corner: When The Beatles conquered America (and me)
I am reading a called ‘Yeah, Yeah, Yeah’ a history of pop music. Naturally, there was a chapter on The Beatles and their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, which was on Feb. 9, 1964. I thought, ‘Hey, that’s 60 years ago! What a great idea for a blog!’

How many mental health problems seen since the pandemic started are actually blamed on changes in the brains of people infected, and not on some scapegoat like quarantines that kept more people healthy for longer? December 2009 — aftermath of SARS1: pic.twitter.com/bXJYMkoY8G — Dr. Lisa Iannattone (@lisa_iannattone) February 7, 2022

I’ve written extensively and in depth, for decades, in two published books and over a thousand published articles, with tens of thousands of references, on the rapidly shifting state of the world, the causes and major factors and historical unfolding of these changes, what it all means and entails, and

To be brief: The obsession with quantity and volume has to end. More is not always better. Quality matters most. But people in the 21st century are addicted to endless entertainment, distraction, empty and largely useless talk, and endless amounts of “news” and commentary. Unless we step back, pause, reflect,

Canada is not a great country for symbols. Sure, there’s the maple leaf, but how many times do you actually see a maple leaf tree in Western Canada? There’s the beaver, which became a symbol of the nation for its industriousness and our desire to kill them for fur coats.

The Newtonian-Cartesian paradigm, or world view, of atomistic, dualistic, mechanistic reductionism, is a very recent, 400 year old delusion, a recent blink of the eye, and is now crumbling as an ideology, world view or paradigm. It is also by no means “scientific”. The evidence now refutes it. It is

Let me start by saying that I speak from the libertarian left – meaning, I fiercely believe in freedom, compassion, voluntary mutual aid, decentralization, and the sovereignty of individuals, communities, and nations. (Anarchism, I would urge, but only, “when men are prepared for it”, as Thoreau said – simply a

The anti-authoritarian grassroots left and right are uniting – at last, as I’ve been urging for decades; and which is absolutely necessary, if we are to halt and reverse our current trajectory toward globalist corporate-fascism. Listen carefully to the interview with Russell Brand, from the libertarian left, talking with Tucker

(Written this morning as an open letter to a fine independent journalist) Patrick, I found you on 21st Century Wire and was very impressed. Before I listen to this TNT talk on Rumble, and get a glimpse of your focus now, or foci, I want to say what comes to

A few thoughts on the recent, very thoughtful and interesting discourse and debate, between Professors Brookes and Wolff, linked in the video below: To Professor Wolff:Bravo – brilliant crystalization. To Professor Brookes:Great respect for your human decency and moral sentiment of basic justice and compassion, certainly, but are you not

Canada’s inquiry into foreign influence will be a misguided and misdirected mess. The post Canada’s Version of McCarthyism Begins first appeared on Excited Delirium.

It’s January 27th, 2022, but you’re reading this in the future. I’m writing this after my intended bed time, having just helped a friend learn how to purchase an NFT. I guess you’ll know how that turned out. It was a pretty standard day working from home. The dog got

There’s an effort underway by Conservatives and Fossil Fuel companies to suggest that fossil fuels are “sustainable”. This is an attempt to rebrand fossil fuels as non-harmful, when the reality is they’re causing much of the world’s pollution and breakdown in our climate. There are some ad agencies pledging to

During the provincial election of 2015, Rachel Notley was everywhere. Literally. The party – which, going into the election, had just four seats – was desperate. Their candidates were so unknown, so unprepared, that election signs would have given you the impression that Rachel Notley was running in your constituency

Travelling the world recently again, I am struck by the staggering ignorance among the great majority of people in the world, as to what Canada is like today. All of them, with rare exceptions, seem to think this is 1974. They think of Canada as a rich, First World country,

Trump did little good in his first term as US President, and much that was bad – but he didn’t turn the US into a fascist police state: Cheney, Obama and Biden did that. I am no Trump supporter, but the establishment political elite of the two dominant US parties

In terms of social movements, the Left is dead, for the time being, at least in the formerly industrialized, formerly “leading”, “developed”, First World nations of the (North-) West. The reason it is dead, is because it has been seduced into supporting authoritarianism, and has thereby been co-opted by the

In recent years, many teachers are dealing with 40 kids, in unsafe classrooms, while the Sask Party Education Minister posts about a mining company on the day the strike is announced. Why did he talk about this mining company? He’s boasting about the corruption his government is getting away with,
