A Walk Through the Mind

In 1977, a newspaper article suggested that the CIA released African Swine Flu (ASF) in Cuba to fight against Castro. At the begining of the Covid pandemic, a few nations felt the need to point their finger at the USA for doing that again. Through the means of animal testing, we also know that ferrets can catch and spread Covid-19 just as fast as humans. With the two seperate diseases, could we have shared notes on the virulency of the diseases to prevent more problems? Could countries go so far as creating something so deadly? What are we doing about potential future pandemics?

Back in the day, you had a select number of gate keepers to get your voice and opinion out. With the internet, things opened up, but as we have seen, voices of some have been silenced. There are people who are out there building new gates for the ability to broadcast our voices.

Memorial Day is a weekend usually filled with BBQ's and camping. But, it's a moment that's supposed to be filled with so much more. A day, at mininum, to remember those who lost their lives standing up for what they believe in so we can live in relative peace here at home.

It's been a year since I recorded the episode "Getting Back to Work," and we're still in a state of lockdown, more so in Washington State, than most elsewhere. But lockdowns aren't the only thing keeping us from returning to normal. Unemployment benifits, inflation, international lockdowns, and more keeps the problem at scale. Can we take a step back, examine where we're at, and find a path forward?

Planets and stars have a vibrational frequency to them. Sound can effect the way we feel and interprate things. Is sound isolated to the ears, or how much deeper can it affect us?

In recent news, it has come out that the Trump-era Department of Justice was seeking communication records of reporters who were reporting on leaked information. While less than appreciated, it is not the first time the government has looked into sources the press has used to tell their story.

The Olympics have been around for eons, offering fame and fortune for those who compete and win. And with the world's eye focusing on those who achieve medals, some people may choose to make a statement. Statements that can have strong implications for local society with lasting effects. When Olympians are put on the world stage, how should they conduct themselves?
