Melodious Owls Mixes

The obvious question, who blew up the Nordstream Pipelines? The veiled threats from Joe Biden in February are notable, but are they incriminating? Was it timed to coincide with the opening of the Baltic Pipeline?Will there be a response from Russia? I don't see a motive that would have them blowing up a pipeline they built to avoid paying transit fees to Poland or Ukraine for pipelines through those countries. But blaming Russia for messy political things has been a trend for sometime now. It has become an indicator of the level of investigative journalism being performed.Is Victoria "Fuck the EU" Nuland some sort of real life Carmen Sandiego? This is a public episode.

When I see how far along we are in this nightmare and the crooked figures that ushered us along this fate (still in power somehow), I ask how much longer? When do we reach the critical mass of people asking the right questions? Don't expect the legacy media to do this for you, they have been too busy counting their pharma money. It is painfully clear that claims made in 2020, 2021, as well as this year are not panning out. Fact check false. The truth may not have changed, but the perspective shift is undeniable. And no one has shown up to clean up the mess, or accept responsibility. Perhaps revisiting certain mandates is in order? Nope. Shut up and take your Paxlovid and did you get your booster?The Covid-infected, double-vaxxed, double-boosted President has racked up a long list of claims that are not true by the example being set by his own health (and not the dementia stuff). I had to commemorate this serial liar and his own web of bullshit to some sounds this weekend in the mix in this post.This is the part of the night when the lights come on at the bar and we see all the wrinkles and stains that were previously obscured in the dim light. If I could find the light switch, I would endeavor to flip it. While the lights are off, I have noticed an Orwellian habit of rewriting language becoming too commonplace in the executive branch and regulatory agencies. To avoid criticism of mRNA products based on the existing definition of "vaccine," the definition was changed by the CDC. Reliable regulating activity, nothing to see here. Safe and effective or strafe with deception? What's a recession anyway, not a period after two consecutive quarters of declining GDP. Next, it will be "what's a tax refund, that's been allocated to be sent to Ukraine." The empathetic side of me wonders after chewing on some more lies from one of the regulars, if they know they are lying, how miserable of a person are they? Do they have any idea how much harm they have caused? Or is the money that comforting? This is a public episode.

Lake Mead has been mentioned more recently in news stories about the decline in water level. As a water reservoir for multiple states and even part of Mexico, the shrinking water level has serious implications. In a May appearance on the Behind the Sch3m3s podcast I discussed Lake Mead and also produced this mix for the show. This is a public episode.
