As a Conspiracy Theorist, I think this a “Likely” and “Political”.
Checking the Conspiracy Theorist “thermometer” — I think it’s overwhelmed by all the myriad of crimes committed by the Political Class. It’s almost like “Conspiracy Theory” fatigue. So many are true and there is never anything done about it.
So, for example, the “autopen” Conspiracy Theory sucks all the “air” out past Conspiracy Theories.
“We, The Sheeple” don’t know what to believe and even if they did believe nothing appears to be able to be done.
Trump just “resurrected” the one about all the Hillary suicides; but, after a brief flash of Twitter outrage, business goes on as usual. Chelsea’s wedding and house grift out of USAID for Haiti gets similarly ignored.
Guess I should create a list on this blog of ConspiracyTheories and a link to my post about them?

RANT: “Hard Back Press” and Amazon are selling old scanned books; who has the copyright?
Friday, May 23, 2025The Line Man’s Bible: a Foot-Ball Text Book of Detailed Instruction Paperback – August 12, 2021
by Ernest Graves (Author)
# – # – # – # – #
FROM AMAZON
This is a copy of the original book. In this series, we are bringing old books back into print using our own state-of-the-art techniques. Generally, these books are created from careful scans of the original. This allows us to preserve the book accurately and present it in the way that the author intended. However, as we are working with old material, so occasionally there may be certain imperfections within the text. We are so pleased to ensure these classics are available again for generations to come.

Copyright by Ernest Graves in 1921

By my understanding, this should now be in the Public Domain.
Yet, “Hard Back Press” and Amazon are selling it.
Are they asserting a copyright?
I’m confused. Can I take old out of copyright books and sell them as well?

SURVIVAL: Someone trying to win a “Darwin Award”!
Thursday, May 22, 2025Lost hiker missing for 3 weeks in Calif. mountains survives — thanks to cabin left unlocked for this exact reason
By David Propper
Published May 16, 2025, 12:47 a.m. ET
*** begin quote ***
A lost hiker missing for three weeks in the California mountains miraculously survived when she stumbled upon an unlocked cabin that had been left open by its owner for this exact situation — and was rescued just in time to celebrate her 28th birthday.
Georgia woman Tiffany Slaton found shelter at a closed resort in the eastern Sierra Nevada range after she was initially reported missing on April 29, authorities said.
*** and ***
He typically leaves the cabin doors open while the resort is closed during the off-season in case a wayward hiker needs a place to crash amid harsh weather conditions like blizzards.
“It’s mainly for people, just as this scenario played out, if they need to hole up in there one of shelter then it’s available,” Gutierrez said.
Slaton, who hails from Jeffersonville in the Peach State, told Gutierrez she survived for weeks solely munching on leeks before the resort owner fed her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
“It was a blizzard, and she pushed through that blizzard, and the first thing she saw was a cabin,” said Gutierrez. “And she held up in the cabin overnight … this girl was saved for the reason.”
*** end quote ***
Needs more details.
If you leave the cabin unlocked, then you should leave some food and communications gear.
Happy she survived, but the story is incomplete.
Who goes hiking without gear?
Answer: Someone trying to win a “Darwin Award”!
I hope there is some follow up.

SOFTWARE: Found a strange software bug but don’t know who to blame
Wednesday, May 21, 2025SOFTWARE: Found a strange software bug but don’t know who to blame
I downloaded my EKG from MYCHART into my MACOSX Sequoia 15.5 using FIREFOX 138.0.3 (aarch64).
No problem.
Went to attach it to an email. Problem. File’s not there?
Fist time in a long time I was befuddled.
Repeat the process.
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” — attributed to Einstein, Ben Franklin, and Rita Mae Brown
Same result.
Restart. Rinse and repeat. Same result.
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” — attributed to Einstein, Ben Franklin, and Rita Mae Brown
Try SAFARI version 18.5 (20621.2.5.11.8)
Rinse and repeat. Same result.
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting diffe rent results.” — attributed to Einstein, Ben Franklin, and Rita Mae Brown
Since I echo all my stuff into DROPBOX 224.4.4811 and the file is there as expected.
Attached it to my email and away it goes.
Now really confused.
Go back to FINDER version 15.5 and … …
<drum roll>
It’s there.
Argh!
I don’t know who to blame.
“It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key.” — Sir Winston Churchill, in a radio broadcast in October 1939
I guess I’ll never know!

Joe Biden and the Biggest Cover-Up in American History.
By Jeff Crouere • May. 5, 2025
*** begin quote ***
“Of course, the real problem was that Biden would have failed any type of honest cognitive test, which would have exposed his incompetence and his unsuitability for the world’s most demanding job, President of the United States.
Thus, his aides were attempting to cover up what was obvious for all Americans to see that Biden was not fit to be President. He belonged as a resident of a nursing home receiving treatment for his age-related illnesses, not living on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
While Biden’s mental decline was being hidden by his staff and his physician, Special Counsel Robert Hur was not so forgiving. In his report on Biden’s mishandling of classified documents, Hur refused to indict him because he believed a jury would be sympathetic to a ‘well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.’
*** end quote ***
Who was Biden’s physician and who was paying him?
If it was the Taxpayer, then when will that person be indicted for fraud and their license to practice medicine revoked.
What about any attorney who had contact with Biden and made any statement about his competence? Should be referred the appropriate Bar Associations.
When about any of his staff and any statements they made about his competence? They should be publicly identified and rebuked. Same for any of the media members!
Argh!
It’s a national disgrace.
Time for term limits, age limits, and citizenship requirements for politicians and bureaucrats!

RANT: Google-driven search tools have somehow changed their algorithms in some way, deterring folks from seeing SurvivalBlog
Monday, May 19, 2025https://survivalblog.com/2025/05/14/survivalblog-readers-editors-snippets-212/
*** begin quote ***
I noticed that SurvivalBlog site visits took a dive, starting on April 20th. Apparently, Google and other Google-driven search tools have somehow changed their algorithms in some way, deterring folks from seeing SurvivalBlog when they search for preparedness information. To compensate for this recent drop in visits, I’d like to ask a favor of my regular readers: Please let your cousins, friends, co-workers, fellow church congregants, and shootin’ buddies know about SurvivalBlog. Please tell them that we now have more than 40,000 archived articles, columns, and quotes — all freely available. Thanks! – JWR
*** end quote ***
It’s really sad when Google goes to the “dark side”. Weren’t they the non-evil folks?
All I want from a search engine is a prejudiced-free collection of links. I don’t mind if they throw one or two ads at the top as long as they are identified as ads.
Argh!
This seems like bias to me.

NEWJERSEY: Why don’t we have competition in energy?
Sunday, May 18, 2025Major Announcement As NJ Braces For Large Increase In Electric Rates | Across New Jersey, NJ Patch
- Gov. Phil Murphy’s announcement comes less than a month before a statewide rate hike scheduled to begin on June 1.

*** begin quote ***
NEW JERSEY — Gov. Phil Murphy unveiled a series of executive actions on Wednesday that he said will help New Jersey residents manage electric costs ahead of a rate hike scheduled to begin on June 1.
The announcement comes two weeks after the state Board of Public Utilities (BPU) said it would require New Jersey’s four electric utility companies — Atlantic City Electric, PSE&G, Jersey Central Power & Light and Rockland Energy — to come up with plans to mitigate overall bill impacts to residential customers during high usage summer months.
The state also asked the utility companies to defer rate increases until later in the year during lower-usage months, as well as identify other opportunities to stabilize rates and provide cost-saving opportunities wherever possible.
*** end quote ***
20% increase thanks to the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee Gooferment.
Argh!
One can only hope that the politicians and bureaucrats responsible for this and their “green energy” policies get swept out of power.
Argh!
Why don’t we have competition in energy?
Clearly, the BPU ain’t looking out for the consumer.

ENCOURAGING: A modern internet eqivalent of the Library at Alexandria
Saturday, May 17, 2025https://standardebooks.org/blog/a-kind-of-bolshevism-in-an-uncanny-bookshop
Free ebooks in this post
- The Haunted Bookshop, by Christopher Morley
- Madame Bovary, by Gustave Flaubert. Translated by Eleanor Marx-Aveling
- The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism, by Bertrand Russell
- The Story of Utopias, by Lewis Mumford
- Disenchantment, by C. E. Montague
# – # – # – # – #
Here’s a great resource for out of copyright books. At a price everyone can afford — free. All the books I was supposed to read in high school and a few from grammar school. This is like the Library at Alexandria before the fire. A virtual treasure of dikw (i.e., data, information, knowledge, wisdom) for free. Stunning.
And yes, I have put my money where my mouth is and contributed. So in that way I’m biased.
Besides how else would I reread the Hardy Boys of my earliest reads. Now if Heinlein’s copyright would ever expire my internet blogging / email life would be over.
Laugh!
No such luck for you poor “usual suspects”.
