Hi, thought it might be a good idea to post a little bit about who I am. I mainly have this account so I can post comments to articles written by writers I follow on Substack. I do plan at some point doing some writing myself, probably more so once I retire.
I have an intense interest in politics & news. Sometimes I don’t know why, I get so fed up. It’s like a love-hate relationship as politics is involved in some way in every aspect of life it seems, yet the political conditions in this country are so corrupt & awful, I just hate it. I follow mainly independent journalists here & on Twitter to keep apprised of what’s really happening as I have zero trust in the mainstream media with all the lies, distortions & omissions over the years. I consider myself an anti-imperialist Eco-Socialist and believe it is really the only viable path forward for our society & civilization in general.
I live in a suburb of Seattle with my wife Elizabeth. We have no children & I’m very thankful for this since I worry so much about younger people & my nieces & nephews that are going to experience the brunt of the climate apocalypse we are currently entering into.
Realizing now I could go on forever. Other interests I have and may write about include renewable energy & sustainability, technology, pinball, gardening & sports (huge Seahawks fan). All of which are an escape from news of the day and politics in general. The main topics I can’t get away from though are the climate crisis, US imperialism, & of course the pandemic. I am now at 5 weeks suffering from COVID & really wish I hadn’t gotten vaccinated having learned over this time how damaging the mRNA ‘vaccines’ can be. No boosters for me. I will be writing more about my COVID experience & the ‘scamdemic’ in general in the coming days and weeks. Take care.
A Little Bit About Zim
"Scamdemic." Great description. I like that a lot. I saw Trevor Noah was being pilloried in the liberal blogosphere for suggesting that maybe the Moderna CEO had a motive in calling for multiple booster shots every year.
He's South African, you know, and probably knows people who have had the exceedingly mild Omicron variant the American media went into full panic mode over, and thought for himself.
Oddly enough, a liberal Democratic friend of mine isn't buying into the Omicron panic at all, and he was a full-blown Covid alarmist going on about how unvaccinated Republicans were going to kill us all, while gravedancing whenever one of them died of Covid complications, until very recently.
Biden's approval rating on handling Covid has now dropped to 50% from over 2/3rds in February. It is possible we have reached the political tipping point on Covid mandates.
