Captain Kirk wants us to NOT go beyond the Final Frontier

Captain Kirk wants us to NOT go beyond the Final Frontier

Reblogging this post to my site in the hope that it gets as many wings as Earthly possible.

Sirius-XM Urban View 126

Sirius-XM Urban View 126

Urban View is an independent Black-owned media source (Channel 126) that provides me an escape from banal predictable radio fare 24/7. Actually, a resource for anyone seeking fresh news presented by highly qualified hosts who speak their own minds. Unfiltered. It is as freely available a subscription package I seek when the frenetic overwhelms me. I am the kind of person who keeps a small note…

A Like Check

One of my earliest followers notified me offline that he/she tried to Like my most-recent post. The Like was not registered. I initiated a chat with the WordPress “Imagineers”; however, they could only verify that the Like switch operated today. Well, that doesn’t assuage my worry. What if a slew of Likers couldn’t Like? Like. I’m not demanding that all my readers suddenly like BillZiegler1947,…

Catastrophic Climate Collapse

Epictetus, Greek philosopher and former slave, formulated what today is known as the Serenity Prayer. Climate was once considered one of the things that you cannot change, now we know that it can be achieved. It’s just that it will require a billion or so climate activists to get Big Oil (they like to call themselves supermajors because that word sounds friendlier). Catastrophic Climate Collapse…

Listening to Wynn Bruce

Listening to Wynn Bruce

billziegler1947 is not about a Bill Ziegler who was born in 1947. Not about him; it is a vehicle to provide support for the downtrodden and the dishonored — such as Mother Earth. I am merely the driver. Unfortunately, simultaneous attacks of Crohn’s, psoriasis, and writer’s block have kept Bill on the sidelines. At the moment, he is feverishly writing about Catastrophic Climate Collapse. This…

Cause of Climate Change

Cause of Climate Change

The arrival of a climate change that was predicted to appear around 2050 has shown up several decades early, filling continent-sized areas in Europe, Asia, and North America. The water cycle is another critical system in the climatological tapestry.

Are Terrorists Ever White?

Are Terrorists Ever White?

White Supremacists fancy themselves gifts of their god. They embrace a narrowly interpreted vengeful deity who traffics in racist hate. They self-identify as the model for an Aryan ideal/idolized/incarnate. They admire Third Reich political thought. They craft lies to justify dodgy principles. They employ the language of lynchers. They find impetus and reward in the “wisdom” of Donald J.…

1955 warrant for Carolyn Bryant (Emmett Till's killer) found. Where is the outrage?

1955 warrant for Carolyn Bryant (Emmett Till’s killer) found. Where is the outrage?

“A Black boy died because of a white supremacist woman’s lie, so she needs to get hard time. I know if a Black person murdered someone back then and was still alive, they’d lock them up no questions asked.”

Critics of Critical Race Theory

Critics of Critical Race Theory

CRITICAL RACE THEORY: Using critical thinking skills to counter the lies that keep blacks disenfranchised, red-lined, gentrified out of urban neighborhoods, denied jobs for trumped-up reasons, blocked from the polls, disproportionally prevented from accessing services taken for granted by whites, limited to a food-desert grocery/gas station, falsely imprisoned, denied reparation… ad nauseam.…

Adopting a Vegan Diet

Adopting a Vegan Diet

the most effective way to beat climate change and be humane at the same time A spate of arguments against veganism suggests a way to defeat us: Repeat the word bacon as often as possible, suggesting that even hardcore vegans love the smell of burning flesh in the morning.Posit that we inflict equivalent pain on carrots by peeling skin from their bodies. Peeling is flaying is pain.Declaring that…

Is Limiting Carbon Emissions a Crime?

Is Limiting Carbon Emissions a Crime?

This might become criminal activity when six of the nine SCOTUS judges follow through with their opinion of 2.28.2022. Fossil-fuel extractors lose business whenever power plants switch to providers of sustainable energy. This is what happens if you vote conservatives into office. However, cretins such as Mitch McConnell use their political might to keep progressive candidates from even receiving…

Listening to Bruce Wynn

Listening to Bruce Wynn

The 6-3 decision by the Supreme Court conservative majority on February 28, 2022 questioned the legality of limiting carbon emissions to address climate catastophe. Certainly, Bruce Wynn chose self-immolation by fire on Earth Day 2022 at the steps of a conservative-led court to send a critically important message to anyone who would listen. I am listening to Bruce Wynn and am devoting this post…

Supertramp: an appreciation

Here I am with a third reflection on Rock Music, mostly bands founded in the 1970s. There seems to run a thread through the independent individuals behind these accounts I write, something that goes a bit beyond words provided by a DJ announcing a song on the radio. Founder Roger Hodgson How can it happen that an important rock group, Supertramp, has not yet been inducted into the Rock and Roll…
