Caroonists have a special way of putting across a point of view. Some are blatantly biased while others seem to be a vision of the future. Either way this is a trip down memory lane from 2020 to present on how these times were seen by some.

Cry Havoc
Is it just me or does it seem like some leaders are very keen for a war that has the potential to consume the world yet once again? I could write volumes on this but decided that a bit of a look backwards in time to when the world was filled with uncertainty, hate, andContinue reading “Cry Havoc”
Insert Title Here
It’s always nice to rewind in time a bit and see how cartoons and memes defined the things going on in the world.
2022 The Year of Discontent
I had several titles for this article. Top of the list initially was, “Lying Bastards” but that may be insensitive to bastards. Here we are halfway through the first month of the new year and around the world leaders are doubling down on their respective populations with mandates and restrictions that despite being about pandemicContinue reading “2022 The Year of Discontent”
Ironic
Something that has probably been questioned by people who are endowed with a modicum of critical thinking. When did vaccination status override testing negative for covid?

I was dropping him off at school as it was pissing down rain and I had to do the weekly grocery shopping. We started to formulateContinue reading “Woke Rap”
Subversion as a tool
Sun-Tzu outline the principles of subversion around 500BC as it was part of his writings on the art of war. He found that if you had time and patience then you could defeat your enemy without firing a single shot. He detailed these principles as follows. Cover with ridicule all the valid traditions in yourContinue reading “Subversion as a tool”
When Society Fails
Something has been disturbing me for the past few years and like a nasty rash it can be ignored for a while until it simply cannot. The nasty rash that disturbs me is how in a country of allegedly educated people that anything of any consequence is now a case of being in one campContinue reading “When Society Fails”
Eve of Destruction
Way back in the murky mists of times past when people had the courage of their convictions and would do what it took to push back against a corrupt and broken world there were a lot of songs written that put those messages out into the world. Except of course for the ones that wereContinue reading “Eve of Destruction”
