I wouldn't count on that March employment report. Is anybody there to compile the numbers correctly?

The takeover of the US Treasury by unelected, unapproved, unaccountable individuals supposedly working for a government agency that doesn't actually exist is the very definition of a coup d'etat. It is a clear indication that powers are being assumed with no intention of ever returning them.

I assume the next thing they did was to create transactions that would incriminate some of their favorite enemies. Be prepared for imminent announcements.

I assume the second thing they did was to process some relatively small transactions to transfer funds to private accounts, to test procedures to hide those transactions from auditors.

I assume the first thing they did was to install backdoors that give them permanent access and control regardless of any future attempts to remove them.

As an IT professional, I feel obliged to share my thoughts about Elon Musk's takeover of the payment systems at the US Treasury. He has installed a team of technicians there who seem to have access to all aspects of the system. That means the system is fatally compromised.

If the idea of self-publishing and self-promoting appeals to you, I’m going to provide some tips here in future posts. We're living in a world already greatly impacted by AI. Online advertising, which is dominated by a few players, is already very different from what it was just a year or two ago.

Writing is, of course, mostly a creative process. Marketing is business and should be approached as such. Most writers are not very good at business, but most marketers are able to write, at least to some extent. Those who combine both skills are in a good position to self-publish and self-promote.

Thank you. I'm looking forward to reading this.

For me, the most thrilling signs of success have been to find my books "in the wild"—bookstore windows, near the register at a bookstore in a foreign country, on the shelf in a car wash lobby with the "tiny trees". Still waiting/hoping to find them in airport bookstores.

Even George Washington Was a Tyrant We don't need to find heroes in our past presidents. We need to try to understand that tyranny has always been part of American freedom.

Peter Jackson shows off the model used in filming scenes in the Mines of Moria.

In 2007 I took this photo of Peter Jackson showing off the scale version of the Mines of Moria used in filming "The Lord of the Rings."

‪@mnemosynium.bsky.social‬ My new book is about "Behind the scenes of Lord of the Rings". I'm happy to answer questions about the online marketing for Peter Jackson's two trilogies of films, or other aspects of the productions. I was often on the set as filming occurred. May I be added to the pack?

With self-publishing it seems there are more writers than readers! Perhaps that's a good thing. If you promise to read my memoir, I'll promise to read yours! feobook.com

Photos Photos behind the scenes of Lord of the Rings, Hobbit, Da Vinci Code and more illustrate this book "from one who knows" according to Ian McKellen

I've just released a work of non-fiction, if there can be such a thing. "Behind the scenes of The Lord of the Rings: For Entertainment Only." "From One Who Knows"—Ian McKellen. feobook.com Thank you.

Mike Johnson is the only self-made man in the photo, and he's not touching that stuff.

Seems to me this is not the best way to convey an image of "what's new."

So now I've written a book about it, just published: "Behind the scenes of The Lord of the Rings: For Entertainment Only"

I guess I should post some of my old photos here, fwiw. Enjoy! December 5, 2005. The New York premiere of KING KONG. Frank Darabont, George Lucas, Andy Serkis, Rick Baker and Peter Jackson with Kong maquette from the 1933 production. Photo by Keith Stern "For Entertainment Only"
