Aesop's Fables, or the Aesopica, is a collection of fables credited to Aesop, a slave in Ancient Greece. He was also a storyteller and lived around 600 BC.
They always had a moral to the story, something which exists to this day: telling a tale to deliver a message.
How times change. I found this old post from 2019 and realised that the world is now reaping the reward of an old fable that has been forgotten.

Joe Biden, President of The Disunited States of America has gone past being an embarrassment. He is now actually a laughing stock and a danger to the country and the world as a whole.
As his presidency wanders aimlessly through the fog of advanced dementia, we all watch in horror and perverse amusement as he goes from one disastrous public performance to another.
In fact he is so far gone, I wonder if he is setting up a snack plate and making room for cheese that comes from the moon. It would not surprise me.
This is such a cliche, yet today, it is more true than ever before. I have been asking myself a lot these days " why do our governments and media want to divide us? ". All I can think of is that through division we will fall into disarray and become weak. What astonishes me is how easy it has been for " them " to carry out their mission. But I keep coming back to our old mates " who " , " what " "where " "when " and most importantly " why "

It is coming up for an anniversary of a passing... I always like to mark them here on my blog. John's passing marked the end of a friendship lasting over 50 years.
He was, let me say, a life that was a life WORTH having been lived. Like most lives.
A life when hard work and a solid marriage and having children and a home were all that one aspired to. And that was an accomplishment.
A normal life. Yes, it was a few years ago now, but I was reminded of him when I got an email from his sister this morning. And the years came flooding back.
Three years ago, we saw President Trump make a massive fuss of Australia. Now, while I was flattered, I could not help but ask myself “ Why? “ Considering the Prime Minister of India, Mr Modi, was also in America at the very same time, why was Australia so honoured?
The Trump/ PM Modi joint Rally attracted 50,000 adoring fans and Trump applauded India’s Sovereign borders policy and talked of the Islamic threat. No doubt referencing the Pakistan Islamic militancy and the August revocation of Article 370 . in relation to Kashmir, a much disputed area important to Pakistan, India and China. It seemed that Trump was implying support for India in this decision.
Is it finally Showtime?

“Contrary to the claims of proponents of the Green New Deal and Net Zero, fossil fuels are the greenest fuels.
First, uniquely among energy sources, fossil fuel use emits CO2, which is the ultimate source of the elemental building block, carbon, found in all carbon-based life, i.e., almost all life on Earth.”
The popular commentator said he’d cut off energy supplies to the EU if he were the president of Russia
Popular conservative political commentator Jordan Peterson has tried to get into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s head and predict how Russia’s conflict with the West in Ukraine will unfold. Peterson said that if he were the Russian president he would leave the EU without energy supplies in the winter.
“I know what I’d do in his shoes,” he said on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show on Thursday. “I’d wait till the first cold snap and shut off the taps.”

The clock seems to be ticking. Growing disparities in wealth, a housing and gas crisis, transhumanism galloping over the horizon, heroized incivility, and the constant threat of viruses, the “cures” for which may be worse than the diseases.
Global politics feels eerily apocalyptic these days and, in our own little worlds, many of us are so lost, so unmoored from the comforts of our pre-pandemic lives, that we don’t know which end is up or what the future will hold. Investigative journalist Trish Wood recently wrote that we are living the fall of Rome (though it’s being pushed on us as a virtue).
I wonder, are we falling as Rome did?
Powerless Times Ahead.
It is a still winter night in Green-topia.
Wind turbines are idle; solar panels are in darkness; some are covered with snow.
In the rich green suburbs, electric cars are getting re-charged. Lights, heaters and TV are on, and coffee is percolating.
Where is the electricity coming from?
I watched an excellent speech from a young American student as he addressed his school board.
It was uplifting and worrying, all at the same time.
Uplifting because he was the voice of reason and commonsense. It was worrying because he should never have had to make the speech in the first place.
Here is a transcript.

In 1946 CS Lewis wrote the book called That Hideous Strength where twisted transhumanists were trying to live forever and merge people with machines and forever change what it means to be human. This sounds a bit familiar. In this story the transhumanists had a severed head that they were artificially keeping alive. When communicating with the head they thought they were speaking to the artificial intelligence when they were in fact being guided by what could best be described as fallen angels or demonic entities. It is unclear whether our globalist antagonists are guided by dark entities or are just simply evil for the sake of being evil.
