April 2024 Sam: Interoception is a topic gaining increased interest and recently the subject of a Guardian article.
According to Wikipedia (please help fund their quality web site) "Interoception is the collection of senses providing information to the organism about the internal state of the body. This can be both conscious and subconscious. It encompasses the brain's process of integrating signals relayed from the body into specific subregions - like the brainstem, thalamus, insula, somatosensory, and anterior cingulate cortex - allowing for a nuanced representation of the physiological state of the body. This is important for maintaining homeostatic conditions in the body and, potentially, facilitating self-awareness." Interesting stuff, worth investigating if any of us ever has the time to do so.
Marco: Not much else to upload in this of month April 2024 so far. Yet it was time TheQuake recognized that we are of course in a new month and reassure you that this page didn't get permanently stuck in the moody weather of March. Meanwhile, welcome to the Umbrella Corporation San Antonio division.
March 2024 Trump devotee Marjorie "Tell all" Greene's update on her jewish conspiracy theory as told to Emily Maitlis [@maitlis] of News Agents.
Meanwhile, Republicans response to Joe Biden's "State of the union" speech came in the form of rightwing Alabama politician who was told to play the role of a conservative housewife, apparently it would be a vote winner. The world cringed at her creepy [link restored] acting and even some Republicans calledit a disaster. This parody is actually milder than the reality itself, but spare yourself that ordeal.
It seems that the mechanisms that the founding fathers had in place are, it's turning out, insufficient to prevent authoritarianism from trumping democracy.
Trump, the Xtian Nationalists, and the corporate military industrial complex want us to give up. We should not give up, even while being realistic about what we're up against, because that's how they ultimately take power. Extremism becomes normalized. Nonetheless, the future of genuine freedom is the USA is in peril. But all the more reason to oppose the now powerful threat to democratic choice. February 2024 "So, 6 religious fundamentalists that lied flat on national TV to get their jobs as the legal arbiters of our entire nation are about to tell us that a president who tried to overturn a legal election using a mob of people he knew were armed and who he directed at the seat of our government is perfectly legally able to run again and finish the job off, having seeded our voting apparatus countrywide with extremist lunatics.
"Good job, America. Way to prove your churches, and your money, and your legal system, and your election system is corrupt to the very core." -- isakindamagic, TPM supreme court tracker live.
Previously: Yes we've heard this one before about Trump meeting his match. But Vice news makes a strong case that this time it's the real deal - even though it won't necessarily take him out of the race for President it potentially has larger implications, financially and otherwise, than even the E Jean Carroll case.
EVEN BIGGER POTENTIALLY: Appeals court hits Trump with ruling he's been dreading, and he will appeal the appeal. The merry go round continues. Over to you, Supremely Corrupt Court.
And now to the health story....
US citizen dilemma: Health or Hell insurance? While most US and UK media look the other way to avoid the wrath of big pharma and big health insurance on whom they are financially dependent - fellow back scratchers - props to the Guardian, among a very few others, who speak about that which cannot apparently be spoken, the latter option causing ever greater harm to the citizens they supposedly serve, whom, even if they study the subject, may find it to be too convoluted to unravel. If they do awaken to the reality of how dodgy and manipulated the system is, the citizen sees how badly they're being, uh, screwed.
Another case in point, this time how big pharma has US politicians by the proverbial sphericals and forces them to mislead the public with actions that actually make the situation worse, not better. (Link is NPR Radio prog "On point" Jan 29, 2024)
January 2024 Happy new year. But not for the exploding homeless population whose ranks are swelling throughout the United States. American baby boomers are the fasting growing segment of homeless in many parts of America, including Arizona.
America is destined to be a failed project if it loses its freedom, its democracy, and is unable to react to the staggering problems it exacerbates rather than ameliorates. Grim times for so many.
Meanwhile, looming, is the big presidential election later in the year, arriving in a country divided and in danger of losing its democracy at the hands of a sinister self-serving and catastrophically corrupt Supreme Court that does a diabolical disservice to this potentially wonderful nation which now teeters on the brink of political collapse.
December 2023 "Trump doesn't have presidential immunity from lawsuits over January 6, appeals court rules", reports CNN.
It's a double whammy for the shameless ex-President, who along with the "new" ultra right GOP, continues to threaten the most important democracy in the world.
November 2023 Rob de Sanctimonious Cyber fiddling
October 2023 Speaking personally (--Rob Francis, TheQuake) I felt for the first time, as I watched Trump's demeanor on the first day of his New York State business trial and clips of him visiting southern California a few days before, and from the vibe of his sidekicks and the smallish crowds attending, a shift in all those elements - the man himself, his enablers, and the cult members themselves. It was a mixture of resignation, over reaction, and fatigue that is affecting not just the rest of America but also his very base, organization, and self. There has been a change. A loosening of his hold.
So now it's time for me to go deeper and actually read what Mr Reich has to say in answering his own question. I just wanted to welcome you, without further delay, to this month of October. Have a good month and back soon.
September 2023 August 2023 July 2023 Trump faces new charges in classified documents investigation. "The Boss wants the server deleted"..... Employee #4 evidence.
Americans who cherish democracy are feeling the Trump nightmare may be moving to its end game with our free election system likely to live and fight again for justice and for the voting rights of the average citizen, not just the corrupt and exploitative who can not only manipulate but, which almost happened, overthrow our elective process.
Trump attorneys prepare for the worst after a nightmare meeting at the special counsel's office [Talking Feds link].
Jack Smith files superseding charges -- "and surprise, surprise....his republican cult is once again defending the traitor." -- siobhan4243, Meidas touch viewer.
Many major props. We're in love with America again is the vibe we're feeling around here. The USA is standing up for itself after the most egregious efforts of the extreme right, and indeed the, uh, alleged, self-seeking despotic former top man Trump himself, to, uh, allegedly bring down the democracy of our nation and sell out our country from under our feet. Glory Glory USA! Exciting, relieving, hopeful times - who'd have counted on these developments just a few months ago? Or is it too early to celebrate.... doesn't seem so.
June 2023 Links just prior to the June indictment, end of the "getting closer to justice" phase:
From the Meidas touch: DOJ prepared to indict Trump.
Bryan Tyler Cohen channel: Federal prosecutors deliver crushing news to Trump's lawyers.
"Trump freaks out worse than ever after failed DOJ meeting" -- Farron Balanced.
May 2023 The US has some massive problems: a Supremely corrupt Court, which also hides behind its dodgy shadow documents; politicians beholden to special interests including the gun lobby; firearms freely available to the angry and mentally ill. No practical solutions are in sight, but we have one vote, and collective voices. Time is running out.
The Guardian: "According to the data, 90% of the cases of US terrorists are classed as domestic. Of the domestic extremists, 95% are far-right, Jensen said: white supremacists, Proud Boys, anti-immigrant groups and anti-government groups."
April 2023 We thought it might never happen: the United States of America has not rolled over to the pressure of corporately bankrolled fascism and is showing it will prosecute even an ex-President, to show that, yes, even a president is not above the law.
True, it's only an indictment and justice has not yet been been completed, but the ball is rolling, the process of justice has now taken a tangible form. "1. We MUST celebrate. Justice is working in this case. March 2023 Stop willow Stand-up timing from way back when with Moshe kasher: "some all-encompassing crowd work at The Laugh Factory".

February 2023 "Arriving on platforms ..." January 2023
Kevin "wins", but threat continues Even worse, as The Intercept and, elsewhere, Robert Reich both point out, that whatever the outcome the threat to American democracy is still just as great as it was before. As The Intercept succinctly says in a sub-header to another article: "Republicans are still locked in a battle for political power." That's all it is to them - a means to personal gain and advantage. While the majority of Americans cry out for solutions to our challenges, they go after Joe Biden's relatives if it earns them insurrectionist brownie points whilst offering nothing else. Almost beyond words.
GQP in chaos Meanwhile the GQP has scraped the barrel of depravity for pretending that congressman-elect George Santos' stunning fabrication of his "life story" isn't grounds for, at the very least, criticism along with demands that he withdraw immediately.

Georgia election Progressives get wins in 2022 elections.
Georgia election: previously Never mind "not knowing" what state he lives in, 'orrible 'Erschel barely knows what planet he's on (moral: never get your precious head anywhere near American football). Let's hope voters continue to punish the GQP's diabolical lurch to the extreme right. Thus far, their push for power through extremism has mostly failed at the ballot box. Thankfully, mostly sanity in the elections, so far!

Just a day or so earlier, a massive thank you Nevada, and thank you America! Among many other things, Senate control gives Dems and non ultra rightists a chance to appoint judges that respect the law and are not extreme agenda crazed Christo-sharia zealots.
The Independent US election tracker [re. GOP attack on women's choice]: "Pissing off a demographic that makes up more than half of the electorate. Who could possibly have thought that was a good idea?"
In the House, the red wave never materialized, but the fact that so many people could vote against their best interests never fails to baffle. The only platform the GOP (greedy old putinists) has is to "privatize" social security and medicare [two disastrous corporate sponsored grabs] and torpedo everything the American people have worked and saved for.
For sure, it's a sad reflection on America that Joe Biden (no disrespect sir) is the best of an inadequate bunch, and of course the Dems needs to acknowledge that the justice and social wing of the party has the most dynamic in-touch talent, but that may never come in time to save this great country and its fragile democracy. Gotta make the best of what we've got whilst at the same time: try, try, & try again to get way better people in positions that matter.

Trump's Hump at Murdoch Dump David Frum reminds us, it wasn't only Trump. "The Herschel Walker nomination was so important because it made clear ... everybody important in the GOP - from top elected officials to online and TV talkers - agrees: abortion restrictions are only for YOU, with exemptions of course reserved for themselves and allies."
There's no shortage of grifters who've become wealthy at the potential expense of the USA losing its democracy. "She Helped Create the Big Lie. Records Suggest She Turned It Into a Big Grift" is the headline of an article about Catherine Engelbrecht and her sidekick Gregg Phillips and their now notorious and dodgy operation appealing to gullible far right-twingers.
This Reveal news report may not be brand new, but is too interesting, creepy, ongoing, and sadly not unusual in modern day American grifter politics, to let slide by, and thanks to The Independent for bringing it to wider attention.
"Over the last two presidential election cycles," starts the Reveal article, "True the Vote has raised millions in donations with claims that it discovered tide-turning voter fraud. It's promised to release its evidence. It never has."
Getting us updated on this story, The Independent tell us that "US Marshals detain group's founders" ie. Engelbrecht and Phillips. The story, as they say, continues, and those guys above are keeping an eye on it, as will TheQuake.
Also from Reveal news is this podcast discussing the ballot boogeymen. October 2022 "Surely in a nation of 60 million plus they could have come up with someone better than this hopeless woman and the kwasi buffoon? Sad to see how far the UK is falling." -- Fighto, 'Japan Today' reader. Now she's likely to get booted out [the world fervently hopes so, we've already got way too many problems without this idiocy] and the merry go round continues as the British pound threatens to fall to parity with (or even lower than) the US dollar - unthinkable and unimaginable until now. Leaving the European Union, and then Truss' decision to lower taxes on wealthy people and corporations leading to a staggering debt commitment, both combine to bring the UK economy and social fabric to its knees.
And reneging on it's agreement with the EU on how to handle the NI/NorthSea border backstop situation leaves the UK as a pariah state to its neighbors [no wonder any rational "Norn Irelander" wants out of the UK and to flourish with Eire & Europe]. All this needs to be sorted, and soon. And it ain't gonna be done with loony Liz anywhere near the decision making process.
September 2022 AccountNumberEight (poster on "Democracy at work" YT channel): "It's an American character flaw: instead of lifting everyone up, the sheeple want everyone to suffer. Maybe it's based on that 'protestant work ethic'."

Interviews on "Real and present danger" from On Point, a US national public radio program/podcast, discusses how Trump and right wing politicians' rhetoric impacts the FBI.
The top 400 American families own over 25% of total U.S. wealth.
Previously: looks like the blustering sociopathic boss of anti-democracy Donald J. "Twitler" is going to be subject to a criminal investigation [allelujah it's time honeybuns] as a judge authorized a search warrant on one of Trump's trophy homes that look down and mock the working people of America whose money has gone to these altars of corruption and grift.
It's "big news that a grand jury has reportedly been impaneled to find out how and why national secrets were packed up in Washington and parked in Palm Beach" says MSNBC.
We are witnessing possible justice unlike ever seen before, going to the very top, and it seems it may be true, thank goodness, that .... even a president or an ex-president is not above the law. Continues MSNBC: " it's unlikely the Justice Department would convene a grand jury if officials there didn't think they had some evidence that could overcome Trump's likeliest defenses."
We are informed that the lowest life expectancy in England is for residents of Blackpool [the highest being Westminster in central London]. So howzabout looking to see how their football club is doing, eh? Well, at the time of writing, they're by no means bottom of the entire football league system. In fact they are in the top level of the Football League which is the second to top tier of the overall pyramid.
They actually won their first match of this brand new season, defeating visitors Reading 1:0. An unhappy Reading supporter royalboy reacted: "New season optimism crushed after 10 minutes. Another long season lies ahead I'm afraid. On the plus side my girlfriend and I had a lovely evening in (Black)pool, the smell of chips, vomit and sea air is truly intoxicating. I just hope we get to go back next season."
So don't commit suicide just yet, Blackpool or Reading fans, and deny yourselves the future guilty pleasure that is, indeed, the truly intoxicating smell of chips, vomit and sea air. May I add: the alcohol could also be a contributing factor. To the intoxication that is. Or the lifespan. Or, frankly, both. At any rate, this result indicates a lot to live for, even in Blackpool, where the team plays in tangerine - surely a color to die for.
July 2022 The first goal, lobbed over the keeper by Ella Toone from a pinpoint Keira Walsh assist that released the scorer's amazing run, has already become the signature clip or here for the match. The way Germany rapidly rallied to get even, and then the dramatic match winner late into extra time, could not have been scripted better.
Semifinal USL & Monterey Bay Stadiums of all the USL Championship clubs, at least, as of the previous season.
Ray of hope for US democracy As Norman Eisen and Dennis Aftergut reacted on CNN: "Subpoena defiance and the insurrection are birds of a feather. The American system of government requires that there be both a peaceful transition of power and a successful investigation of those who seek to interfere with it. Deterrence by punishment for such interference is the only way to stabilize American democracy."

June 2022 Justice? Depp-ends... USA's interminable internal terror Australia and New Zealand did it - they fixed their mass shooting problems, and for all my criticism of many aspects of UK politics this problem has never been an issue there in my entire lifetime. By contrast, in the United States, with mass shootings occurring now at catastrophic rates. I discovered that in 2021 it was just under 1.9 mass shooting events PER DAY according to the criteria of the "Mass Shooting Tracker", far outstripping those that ever make national news, and 27 school shootings have taken place just this year so far, at the time of writing in late May.
The solution is further away than ever before, and because of the political reality in this nation it now seems beyond the ability of the executive, legislative, and judicial systems to ever be solved, no matter how many citizens are killed or experiencing lifelong trauma or other injury.
There's so much to like, and indeed to still love, about this amazing country overall [and California in particular] but the murder and mayhem of uncontrolled gun accessibility is a huge problem with no mechanism in sight to ever change it - and that's killing us, literally and psychically.
May 2022 Slovenia is recognized as the wealthiest Slavic nation in Europe but the people have set their sights even beyond that - seeking an improved health care system and a yearning to stem the dangerous rightwing efforts to erode democracy - remarkably like the US in many ways.

April 2022 The problem is that the GOP have become so extreme and unhinged that they couldn't care less and that Taylor Greene isn't going to stop spouting batshit garbage. Now if somebody can come up with a way to bring them back to their senses, then we're talking. Meanwhile, at the worst possible time in human history, global mental illness proliferates and threatens to become dominant, whether it be in growing segments of the population, in its leaders [like Putin], and in American and global rightwing media.
Clevedon Town player scores non-league goal of the season contender video... hulloh.
What a brilliant goal. Brilliant. Truth is not out there
Not a surprise that former Californian Republican big wig Devin Nunes is the chief executive, moving on from his political career which is perhaps best known for his suing a fictitious bovine-obsessed twitter detractor called Devin Nunes' cow. The son of a dairy lineage could be having another cow over Social Truth's udder shambles which so far has gone teats up. Especially as the cult leader himself @realDonaldTrump has only posted one 'truth' for "well over a month" [BBC] at the time of writing. However, the BBC writer James Clayton, desperate not to want to upset the rambunctious rancher, goes on to mention what a star Trump still is [really?] and that "any 'free speech' app would bend over backwards to have him on its platform." Hmm. Well anyway, thanks for updating us on Trump's "Truth Social", Clayton. Maybe it's time to moo-ve on. Between the various players involved in this alleged super flop endeavor, at least they've milked it for all it's worth, both D and D are raking in the bucks from gung-ho investors.
What the all-women newsroom in South Asia says about democracy.
For the first time it's gradually dawning on many of the public at large that there's a World Cup going on this winter [northern hemisphere perspective]. Awareness is increasing because we pretty much know who's in the Finals and who they're gonna play. The most talked about group in The Quake's neck of the woods is Group B. Wowza: USA, England, Iran, and one of Wales, Scotland or Ukraine [all this at the time of writing of course]. And what a surprise, Qatar get the easiest group. Meanwhile the most brutal, arguably, is Spain, Germany, Japan, and Costa Rica or New Zealand. Brutal mostly for Japan. Three big fish in one group and then Qatar with only one big fish: the Netherlands. Rigged some? Dear oh dear.
USL Championship The game made history as it was the first time the club has ever earned a point in its history, or three to be exact, because it was also the first time in its history to win a match, having lost the first two [all on the road, as the home ground won't be available until this upcoming above fixture.] And how soon will this repeated: the goalscorer of the two first Monterey goals, Chase Boone, switched to "emergency goalkeeper" for the latter part of the game! It was one of those kinda quirky situations.
Another "first" of sorts is that it was MBFC's first northern California "derby", and you could even say Bay Area derby if you want to stretch things. It's reached a point where north Monterey county does have a significant number of commuters who work in Silicon Valley, itself part of the San Francisco Bay Area, and Oakland is also part of that metro SF Bay Area.
Check back to this column as there's plenty of time for the build up to this one! March 2022 Europe has moved with unity and speed to integrate the Ukrainian people into its own communities, Germany and Switzerland have said goodbye to their neutrality, and the US is deploying substantial hardware and software to push back, and economic sanctions have been swift and dramatic.
Whatever happens, Russia [and China] are realizing it's not about blowing over a mere paper tiger as they mistakenly thought the West was.

"It's what you want to see. The commentators also have to take the blame when they exalt the teams [tribes] that they get paid to publicize." -- Valentin Esquivel, You-tube viewer.
This is the ground zero from which they are working, as reported by the Sporting News: "It's notable that the Queretaro State Police posted a tweet during the match in which they confirmed their presence at the stadium and noted (translated from Spanish) that the first half is taking place in a tranquil environment and with a good atmosphere in the stands." No worries then, safe in the knowledge that the action women security team [seriously] would hold the fort. Cheque's in the mail, 'n all that.
Original article: It was weird watching the terrace battle [albeit across actual seats and then the pitch] as Queretaro fans tried to overrun an elevated away section to throw whatever objects came to hand at the visiting Atlas supporters, some of whom returned the favor. Elswhere running battles appeared to take place with what looked like targeted attacks to clear out any away visitors, ultimately the match itself was abandoned. Many in the away and mixed sections poured onto the pitch to escape the onslaught.
It was like a flashback to the 70's and 80's in Britain and elsewhere in Europe and strangely out of synch so many decades later. It would only take a few street level investigators to immerse into the culture of the hooligan brigades to suss out when something like this was brewing and therefore allow authorities to take [at least] proper security measures. Instead, nobody can or wants to get their act together. The opposite. One or more security guards allegedly unlocked a fence gate to allow the blue bedecked hoard to swarm out of their pen towards the Atlas loyalists.
As the Guardian points out, this must raise the question of whether Mexico is capable or deserving of co-hosting an upcoming World Cup. Nuke catastrophe looms Amazing how the right-wing media was fawning all over Putin with praise, adulation and worship until they realized the game was up, these grifter overlords, who'll say anything to keep their inflated paychecks coming, cowardly change their tune when the chips are down. 180 degree about face -- overnight. But the gormless followers don't seem to notice, it's all whooshing far above their heads.
February 2022 Yes they're still around but most conspicuous within two splintered factions of the original global unification mob most notably the rifle-toting, robe-bedecked elderly dominated congregation with compounds and concentrations of adherents particularly in Texas,Tennessee, Pennsylvania and the north-eastern part of the midwest.
So below is the story [still unfolding to this day] of one random Moonie group, how they came to be where they are, and how they try to adapt to survive today's rigors and realities, rocked by the death of their cult leader and desperately adapting to a fast changing world.
Rising Sun, or rising Moon? How Japanese die-hards of a crumbling south Korean cult dedicated their lives to creating the True Father's paradise [or hell?] in remotest Paraguay, in supposedly one of its happiest yet most forbidding and mosquito infested places. The intrepid reporter, while in the act of disembarking from the river-boat bus [and travelling market], was warned by a joyless military guard, the sole figure on shore: "This isn't where you want to get off." [....yikes!]
For an even more bizarre cult that moved to South America howz about this lot, also still around albeit having gone thru some changes over the years of their horrific history.

November 2021 One way or another it's going to be an eventful November at so many different levels. Democrats trying to get meaningful legislation thru despite crazed GOP opposition and some snakes in the grass in the Dem's own camp. Climate crisis and the inability, thus far, of humans to reverse the greed that leads to their own destruction. The US dealing with a chronic supply chain breakdown, and the UK glimpsing the chaos and descent into oblivion potentially caused by batshit Boris' Brexit as its frightening ramifications rear their myriad ugly heads.
But heading back some fair few years it's fascinating to see how police detectives work to get results [in this case - Canadian detectives], as Jennifer's solution proves no solution at all, just swapping one hellish existence for another.
