‘Hate Speech’ and ‘History’ (the era of the scare quotes)

I’m not sure exactly when this happened but recently Youtube deleted one of my videos, labeling it ‘hate speech.’ Some of you have seen it: The interview I did with my Montauk friend, Sports Illustrated photog Walter Iooss. Maybe the 20th ‘anniversary’ of the 9/11 false flag attacks had something to do with the deletion, but in any event the…

Mandela is Back

Friday, third of September (8 AM) finds me in the town of Spotted Horse, Wyoming, human population 12 (at the moment), about 50 goats, one dog, assorted chickens and so forth, although it (the pop) will shrink to 3 or 4 (humans) come dead of winter. Being partial to small towns (in this case small) — and having buddied up…

Down Under

Below is a slightly edited (for anonymity) email from my friend in Australia. It came as a shock to me, as I did not know how awful it’s gotten down there. I had written him/her expressing concern that social/career pressure would cause him/her to cave and accept the mainstream view of COVID. (The need for anonymity is another aspect of…

How Bad Things Are

Many of you have stated How Bad Things Are and I hope you really understand how true that is. Folks are dropping dead from the vaccine and no one is talking about it, aside from good Virginia Stoner, whom some of you will remember from this blog. Her vaccine death piece should be front page news, given that the gross…

The Art of the Boondock

Main reason I’ve been silent for a bit (aside from my last post) is I’ve been working on a video/slideshow that sums up (or purports to) my seven years on the road with Gus and cameras (of various types). I am unsure of whether the way I present the images will work for most folks. Works for me but I…

Layered Deception

Here’s how bad it is: Yesterday I went to the Eureka, Montana Humane Society to look for a puppy, a buddy for Gus, myself, and so forth. There’s a woman in there at the desk and I can see the kennels behind her through a glass door. I hear some yelps and barks back there. The woman asks what breed…

Controlled Op!

In my search for cooler temps/thinner/clearer air/photogenic views I may be as far north as a human can go in the continental U.S., at least in a 27 foot vehicle with iffy clearance. I am in fact one inch below the Canadian border, by a Forest Service map with an inch equaling approximately a mile and a quarter. Although I’ve…

Eureka!

No, re the title of this nothing great has happened, but I’m in Eureka, Montana so I thought I’d confuse you all for just a moment.   Eureka has cell coverage; I’ve been offline for a couple weeks, with a few pockets of connectivity here and there, but not for long enough to come up with a post. Montana is…

Net Limbo

I’m in a strange sort of limbo as I write this. I feel like I’ll survive the day, which is a nice change from yesterday, but at the same time I’m on the edge of… incomunicado?… But what do I mean and how did I get here? Yesterday I was in Lovell, Wyoming and I was goddamn miserable. At about…

Gus Awaits Armageddon

I appreciate the kind reaction to my Badlands Cattle Roundup imagery and that so many of you realize the serious situation the ranchers find themselves in. I’m very fond of the people I met and fear for their future. They have a lot more to lose than someone like me, and even most of you. A unique and productive American…
