Alex Minassian's trial finally took place and, to no-one's surprise, he was convicted.
Rescuing History | I wish I had a dollar | Lee Harvey Oswald, JFK and the plight of loners
I wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard Lee Harvey Oswald described as the assassin of JFK. For example, the current Wikipedia article says, "Oswald shot and killed Kennedy on November 22, 1963, from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository as the President traveled by motorcade through Dealey Plaza … Continue reading Rescuing History | I wish I had a dollar | Lee Harvey Oswald, JFK and the plight of loners
Paranormal World | Dreams entering reality
Few people talk about this - the strange interaction you sometimes see between dreams and the real world. To show you what I mean, I'll give you a simple example of my own. A few years ago I had a series of dreams, night after night for about a week, in which I dreamt dead … Continue reading Paranormal World | Dreams entering reality
Autism vs the Camera
Here is something peculiar. Many autistic people report that they are visual thinkers. Temple Grandin, the famous animal behavior scientist/engineer, has written about 'thinking in pictures'. From early on in life I was like that too. When I was a small boy I read comic books before I could read (Donald Duck, etc). I … Continue reading Autism vs the Camera
Paranormal World | Children who speak of past lives | Veer Singh in the after-life
Here is something interesting. Among my new posts, those on autism draw the most visits to this site. But with older posts, those about Ian Stevenson and his investigation of children who talk of past lives get more traffic than all the rest put together. Why? Well, all paranormal phenomena are interesting, but these children … Continue reading Paranormal World | Children who speak of past lives | Veer Singh in the after-life
Rescuing the Future | January 6 | Has the West lost it?
Now I think I know what it is I want to say about Jan 6. Like most people watching that violent, hysterical, deluded invasion of the US Congress, that attempt to overthrow an election through violence - with 99% of the participants white, many of the outnumbered Capital police Afro-Americans - at first I was … Continue reading Rescuing the Future | January 6 | Has the West lost it?
Rescuing History | I wish I had a dollar | Mexico and the border wall
Yes, I wish I had a dollar for every time I've had to listen to reports of the angry debate in the USA over the border wall. What you never hear in those arguments is the voice of Mexico. When I was teaching English in Mexico City in 1969, the school put me in charge … Continue reading Rescuing History | I wish I had a dollar | Mexico and the border wall
Dreams | What do they mean?
That question sounds simple and straightforward, but it isn't. Some dreams are meaningful, some aren't. I'm convinced that there are dreams where the mind is just 'doodling' with images and events, with no intention at all. Other dreams hint at meanings, but finding them is harder than solving a Rubic's Cube. Some defy any explanation, … Continue reading Dreams | What do they mean?
Rescuing history | I wish I had a dollar | Mexico
I wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard someone refer to the conquest of Mexico by a few hundred Spanish soldiers.
