Hosting Upgrade Appeal

The Tap has become increasingly busy over the last few weeks with many more visitors and sign ups. It's currently creaking and slowing. We need a hosting account upgrade to help cope with the increased activity and keep this free blog online. It would be sad to lose it but it costs to keep it going and free to use. If any of you can help donate even a small amount towards the hosting upgrade that would be a big help. Thank you. Click here to donate


Our country, then and now

This gentleman writes faster than I can read or comment. He has just put out another book, and several interesting posts.

Then you might go to Mr. Cook’s writings at Global Research, of which there are dozens and dozens of articles. (How did I miss them for so long?) I too wrote for Global Research.

His musing about the US already being engaged in World War III is quite interesting. This writing grew from an article to an ebook he just completed, that Global Research issued a couple of weeks ago:

Mr. Cook gave a talk on food sovereignty at our “Attack on Food” symposium last month. Scroll down about 2/3 of the page to find his talk:

And here is a review of his 2023 book, wihch I bought and recommend, titled “Our Country Then and Now”

But be warned: this man is a prodigious writer, so don’t even try to keep up with him!
