Odds & Ends

An explosion shook the area near Iran’s main nuclear-enrichment plant late on Saturday.  The blast was heard in the area of Badroud, which is around 12 miles from the Natanz nuclear site.  Natanz is Iran’s main nuclear enrichment site.

Iran didn’t place blame on any foreign government and sent differing messages about what actually happened after reports of the explosion circulated in local media.  One report had a missile system being test fired.  A second report claimed that a hostile drone had activated defense systems which resulted in the explosions seen and heard.

Supposedly the explosion caused no casualties or financial damage.

A few things that seem odd.  First, the explosion was heard and felt 12MILES AWAY.  That seems to be a long distance for shooting down a hostile drone or for the simple test activation of a defense system.

Second, stating that there was “no financial damage” is an odd announcement in and of itself.  Why mention financial damage at all?

So, just what happened out near the Natanz facility?


The witch hunt begins.  Prosecutors seem to be beginning to cast a wide net in the Oxford HS shooting.  The parents were arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter.  The charges included the claim that the teenager was given free access to the gun used.  This is despite the fact the weapon was locked up.  The prosecution is also looking at the legal liabilities of the school administrators who returned the boy to class.

This was a horrific tragedy.  There is no doubt the boy is responsible.  Anyone who actively aided and abetted this shooting should be held accountable.  However, indiscriminately smearing everyone who had contact with the boy is irresponsible.  However, as we saw in the Kyle Rittenhouse case, prosecutors believe there is no responsibility for their actions regardless of how devoid of basis their actions may be.


Biden’s disaster in Afghanistan continues.  More than a hundred former Afghan security forces had been killed or forcibly disappeared by the Taliban since their surrender in late summer.  This is on top of the summary executions of people who worked for the previous government.

According to CNN,

In their statement Saturday, the 21 countries, including the United States, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom, said the alleged actions “constitute serious human rights abuses and contradict the Taliban’s announced amnesty.” 

“We call on the Taliban to effectively enforce the amnesty for former members of the Afghan security forces and former Government officials to ensure that it is upheld across the country and throughout their ranks,” the statement said.

The countries called for a full and transparent investigation of the allegations made by Human Rights Watch.

“Those responsible must be held accountable,” Saturday’s statement read. “We will continue to measure the Taliban by their actions.”

Do any of the signatories to this statement actually believe this will have any effect in Afghanistan?  This is issued to calm the sensibilities of the public in the West.  These politicians want people to believe that they are doing something, that what is happening was not foreseeable.

It is just more BS that we see everyday from elite politicians around the world.


Unrest continues in Europe over various COVID measures including forced vaccination.  Belgian police have fired water cannon and used teargas to disperse protesters opposed to compulsory health measures against the coronavirus pandemic.

About 8,000 people marched through Brussels towards the headquarters of the EU, chanting “freedom” and letting off fireworks.

The demonstrators oppose compulsory health measures – such as masks, lockdowns and vaccine passes. Banners on Sunday compared the stigmatization of the non-vaccinated to the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany.

“Covid = Organised Genocide,” said one sign. “The QR code is a Swastika,” declared another, referring to the EU Covid-safe digital certificate.

Of course, as we are seeing more and more everyday, there is no such thing as being COVID safe.  The virus will go where it wants to regardless of measures taken against it.  Lockdowns and masks are useless.  Suppressing information about effective early treatment is criminal.  And the “vaccines” are actually more dangerous than the virus.


COVID insanity continues in Ireland.  No one has died from Omicron as of this date despite the gloom and doom of media reports.

The emerald isle of the triple-vaxxed double-masked have decided it’s better to be safe than sorry.  Ireland has had a single case of Omicron reported.

Ireland ordered nightclubs in Ireland to be closed from next Tuesday until the 9th of January.  Strict social distancing will be required in pubs, bars and restaurants with mandatory table service, no standing is permitted anywhere, and there’s a maximum of six people allowed at any table.

Additionally, indoor sports venues will be limited to 50% capacity and a COVID passport showing evidence of a double-vaxx will be required for access to hotels and gyms.  Additionally, human contact for Christmas or New Years is now limited by government mandate to three households at any given location.

Does anyone see a pattern here?  Is the public being conditioned to just follow orders “for their own good” despite the ridiculousness of what is being ordered?  How will this all end?  Will liberty and freedom win?  Or will dictatorships abound under the guise of a health emergency that does not exist?  Will they relinquish power voluntarily?
