A Look at the Erie Canal – Then and Now – Ed O´Rourke

Our Leaders Have Failed – Ed O´Rourke
Noam Chomsky observed that the One Percent keep that society´s attention span narrow but intense. There is much fuss about the 2024 elections and DT. I am addicted to coverage about his latest outrage which is more interesting than what Jerry Kroth talks about in his video. A controversial professor emeritus looks at the America Empires coming…

Pilots´ observations and radar readings show aircraft that travel at 10,300 miles per hour that can submerge and turn at right angles. Just about all…
