[The chorus of financial mavens warning of the dollar’s destruction is growing. The cost to just service our exploding national debt is unsustainable. That means it’s growing so fast that it consumes an ever greater share of the federal budget AND the nation’s GDP. Those people concerned with this financial collapse are advised to reinvest in gold, silver, and prominent crypto currencies. Judging from past attempts to elicit discussion of this event, we have a very sanguine group of readers. Quoting a famous man, “What, me worry?” gjr]

In April, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) hosted a webinar titled “Incorporating Indigenous Knowledges into Federal Research and Management,” in which a speaker warned scientists about “disrespecting” indigenous knowledge, including “spirits.”
“When you ask for knowledge and you take it and use it in a way that you didn’t intend or you misuse it, you’re not only disrespecting that individual that you sought that knowledge from,” Traditional Ecological Knowledge Outreach Specialist Melonee Montano said in the April webinar attended by scientists. “You’re disrespecting the teachers that they obtained the knowledge from. You’re disrespecting those spirits that may have brought that knowledge to them through a dream.”

“Turd Blossom” (or Sand Turd) is a Texan United States term for a flower which grows from a pile of cow dung.[1] As Turd Blossom, the term has gained fame in the United States as a nickname that was reportedly assigned by former U.S. President George W. Bush as a term of endearment for his former chief political advisor, Karl Rove.[2]
In July 2005, several newspapers declined to run two Doonesbury comic strips portraying Bush addressing Rove by this nickname.[3]”
