There was never any more inception than there is now,
Nor any more youth or age than there is now,
And will never be any more perfection than there is now,
Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.
Urge and urge and urge,
Always the procreant urge of the world.

Debunked: What in the World Are They Spraying?

A guy stopped me in the parking lot of a grocery store yesterday to interview me for his website regarding contrails and what I thought of them. Basically they are the lines planes leave behind them in the sky, give or take a few toxic chemicals and evil intentions. Are they just exhaust fumes that haven’t dissipated yet due to atmospheric conditions? Or is it Monsanto or the government trying to bioengineer crops or human breeding capacity? I, honestly, have no idea, and that’s what I told the guy. But there is a film on youtube called “What in the World Are They Spraying?” which lands pretty hard in the conspiracy camp. Not that I respect or trust Monsanto et al and the government, but I don’t like being duped by paranoid citizens either. So, here’s an article debunking a number of claims made by that movie and the larger chemtrail movement. It could be wrong too, but both sides are better than one.
Map of Burlington routes in 1892. Please note what scholars call the “Galesburg clusterfuck” in western IL there. It’s now all part of the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe railroad, which still has its second largest yard in Galesburg and is the largest employer there, right in front of the hospitals and city government.
So! I’ve learned that I still need to forget all the random crap I know about Galesburg.
US railroad in 1860. Too early for the Intercontinental, but might be part of it. Either way, don’t look down.

cannibaltattooparlor asked: so we shouldn't vote? No way we can get a third party candidate nominated seriously, and I would rather die than vote for a conservative. Don't let spite blind logic. He's not the best, but he's the best we got.
Yes friend, you’ve summed up the Catch 22 of U.S. capitalist politics very nicely. “He’s not the best, but…”
