Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I’m an old, angry man. My anger is mostly under control, with the exception of a few ‘crazy’ minutes every day. I have reasons for my rage, but the only one that matters is what is happening to my America. As most of you know, I am an original baby boomer. I was raised in Los Angeles, California, during a time of great change. I was far too young to understand or appreciate the gravity of the situation. In a very real way, the 1950s and 1960s were a bloodless revolution against the establishment. If you weren’t alive during those times, you will never understand most of what was happening away from the television cameras. ‘They’ called us “hippies,” flower children,” and other terms meant to be derogatory. However, we wore them as badges of honor. The United States of America had become a nation controlled by capitalism. Our leaders preferred war over peace. Wars were “good business.” Unfortunately, President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s successors ignored his parting...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s much easier to ‘rig’ an election than you might think. In a world which continues to experience advances in technology at supersonic speed, the best men and women in this field are the true leaders of a military force which has the ability to dominate the entire planet. I believe that Vladimir Putin’s threat to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine is a smokescreen. It is no secret that Russian hackers are the best in the world. “I know not with what weapons WWIII will be fought, but WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones.”-Albert Einstein In the 21 st century, the world has changed but it cannot move as quickly as the advances in electronics and technology. I sincerely believe that WWIII has begun and the most frightening and powerful weapons are the minds of a select group of computer geniuses. Months after the 2016 election, our government finally admitted that Vladimir Putin interfered in our election in support of Donald Trump. However, our leaders lied ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Those of you who read me on occasion or frequently, are aware that I have solid reasons to allege the 2016 and 2024 elections were “rigged” by an arrangement between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. The method used in 2016 was primarily the worst thing to happen to the truth in history, social media. In 2024, U.S. companies discovered evidence encouraging them to claim that Russian hackers gained access to voting machines in all seven swing states and altered the results of the election. That is likely the truth. Anyone who compares the 2020 and 2024 elections, and possesses average intelligence and common sense, will find it impossible to accept the massive changes over four years. However, this does not change the abject failure of the Democratic Party to attract American voters. Our nation’s people are the least informed in the world and frequently choose to believe lies and reject facts. I believe that the primary reason Democrats fail to win every election ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Our government is good at one and only one thing: they can always be relied upon to hide the truth from the American people.     Let’s go back to 2016, less than one month before the election, and then to April 18, 2019.   A Secret Meeting in the Oval Offices Kept Secret   In October of 2016, with less than one m onth until the general election, the heads of our nation’s security agencies asked f or a meeting with the President, Vice President Biden, Moscow Mitch M cConnell, Speaker Paul Ryan, Chuck Schu me r, and Nancy Pelosi. The subject: Russian interference in our election.   It was confirmed that Russian agents, under orders from President Vladimir Putin, w ere  indeed making hu ge efforts to secure a victory for Donald Trump. However, our government’s leaders decided that the American people, the voting public , had no right to know the truth.   Af t er the election, the big lie: our government   claime...
