I want you, you whimps and losers and suckers, to kill for your country. Oh, and don’t take my picture! I will provide any and all images. Unflattering photos do not help us sink ships and blow shit up. “No quarter, no survivors!”

Two images from “Harold and Maude,” 1971. “I want to kill; kill, kill, kill.” Possibly satire, Harold does not kill Maude, or, if I remember correctly, anyone. Still…

WHEN is WAR not a CRIME? Choose One or More:

WAR for land or water or mineral/natural resources (oil, water included),

WAR that is not defensive,

WAR to protect borders from real or perceived enemies,

WAR to dominate or weaken or eliminate real or perceived enemies,

WAR of attrition or starvation as a weapon or tactic,

WAR that uses sexual assault, attacks on civilians as a weapon or tactic,

WAR that claims any divine justification for the murder of others,

WAR against poverty, slavery, human trafficking, unequal justice, willful ignorance, willful denial of human rights (including the right to know the truth), racism, they-ism for any real or imagined difference between you and them, WAR against drugs, pedophilia, or any crime in which the users of goods or services provided are not prosecuted to the extent the providers are.

I COULD CONTINUE. Later. Contemplating the real horrors and the actual cost of wars of choice (there being no accidental wars I’ve heard of) is exhausting, living with a constant, nagging fear that could be, and is for too many, TERROR.

UPDATE- The only thing I might be right about is that the price of gas would go up. Who doesn’t love five dollars plus? I look forward to the good people of Iran taking over and bringing peace and democracy and good old Christian values to the Middle East. I’ve been doing some research beyond the echo chamber I’m so tuned into. Great work! Regime change has worked so well for us in the past. And, lest we forget; freedom isn’t free. AND, maybe it JUST A WAR and not, necessarily a JUST WAR.

WE’LL SEE, huh? Suckers and losers. Betting is open; make more on your Crypto. Meanwhile, gas up now!

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 202666- UNOFFICIAL START/RESTART OF WWIII

SEND I.C.E. TO IRAN!

ICE is better funded than the U.S. MARINE CORPS, and has been spending enormous amounts on weaponry. YEAH, warmongers and them-haters, some of that there bear spray ought to do the trick.

But, seriously, folks… Oh, I shouldn’t check for updates on this middle-of-a-Friday-night missile attack with continued negotiations scheduled for Monday; it’s too confusing. On the one hand we have president 4-F (maybe five, he’s big on Fs) saying “The lives of American heroes (usually described as losers) may be lost, and we may have casualties- that often happens in war,” and we have Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) posting, when agreeing wit a recent poll that revealed Americans are willing to accept ZERO casualties in a war with Iran, “How about zero you bunch of sick fucking liars. We voted for America first and ZERO wars.”

Meanwhile, the secretary of War/Peace/Defense/anti-wokeness/anti-womanness, Big Peter, is busy attacking what was once called the Boy Scouts, telling service members not to go to liberal (ivy league/decent) colleges. Maybe no one told him about another opportunity to flex and display his manliness. Maybe he was negotiating to get in another workout video.

Not that I obsess about this, but there has to be another word that describes those men who claim to be heterosexual while deriding everything about women. Maybe there’s a spectrum between Homophobic (fear of homosexuals or fear of actually being a homosexual) and homosexual. It makes sense. If a homosexual can appreciate and (even) love someone of the opposite (not arguing this point at this time) sex, there might be some people who are so obsessed and so confused about their own desires, so insecure in their own masculinity (somewhere between not helpful and toxic) that… well, a corvette is no longer enough.

If I’m ranting, I am; my religious upbringing including being anti-war; forgive me. It’s the Christian thing to do, not that forgiveness is exclusive to Christians. If you believe this war is in any way just (I mean, Iran’s regime killed so many peaceful protestors)… you might consider that you are part of the ever-present mob, that the Jesus of peace is someone else’s Jesus; that you are looking for the next golden calf, the next vengeful leader.

Yes, I judge. It’s wrong. Forgive me. However, if you believe you are a good American (or person), and you actually believe the ever changing and flimsy excuses (since there is no real justification) for this war, if you honestly believe Americans dying for some outcome that in no way makes us safer, then, to quote MTG, you and the mob you are part of, are “a bunch of sick fucking liars.”

Oh, yeah; and peace be with you.

WHILE the supreme court put a little switchback in the road to having everyone not in the Epstein Class pay for the whims and wiles of the most sanctimonious leader, and the tax payer supported genocide, and the ignored genocides, continue, supported whole heartedly by some long term and fancy dancing Congress people, and pedophiles continue to be protected at all costs, it’s hard to get past the Superbowl halftime show.

It seems so weird that anyone would like this guy, not to mention that choosing this Trump-endorsed poor white version of… something as a must-like performer is so wrong. I can’t help imagining some actual kid explaining to his or her or, I don’t care, their parent that this motherfucker is just plain fucking creepy.

Sorry. Not a fan. My choice, so happy to have it, and I’ve always chosen not to watch any halftime shows over the last 59 years, was to watch the impeccably choreographed, inspirational, uplifting Bad Bunny performance. Twice, in case I missed something.

VALENTINES DAY, FEBRUARY 14, 202666*-

*THE first …666 was a mistake; heavy fingers. Now, well, it seems to fit. Surely anyone can see the ‘better angels’ are not being particularly effective in the world. Possibly because I was raised in the Seventh Day Adventist religion, with its emphasis on the ‘signs of the times,’ special emphasis on the ‘end times,’ special study of and, other than JESUS, follower of the OLD TESTAMENT, which, if nothing else, is a story of a people who constantly turn their backs on GOD, and are consistently, with the obvious and horrific setbacks and suffering, given the chance to right the wrongs they commit, and to be forgiven.

AND now we have OLD TESTAMENT, PART II. How’s that going, GOD-wise? Depends which way you’re looking. We are not supposed to look at all. The holocaust excuse of ‘We didn’t know’ doesn’t work here, even with the deaths of so many reporters. If not being aware is your fallback position, please be aware of how far back and down you are falling. If you are afraid to know more, or to speak out, yes, we are supposed to be.

Gaza surfers. Surfing is another sport where HOPE is crucial. I got this photo searching for ‘Gaza surf forecast,’ and, yes, Surfline has one. AND if you are wondering what’s going to happen with all the concrete and rebar and rubble from the destruction… jettys, artificial reefs. Oh, it could be such a marvel.

Not to be any more preachy than this, and admitting and confessing that I am a weak Christian and a pretty solid hypocrite, CHRISTIANS generally profess a willingness to die for JESUS. If your belief in a Jesus who supports the systematic and well financed destruction of infrastructure, the willful withholding of food and water and sanitation, the bombing of civilians… maybe you’re right.

Tell yourself that when you’re picking out some flowers for someone you profess to love.

Meanwhile, I am more frightened than hopeful. Knowing that no one, so far, has lived to see the end of. the world, Armageddon-wise, we do all face our own reckoning. The books will be balanced. I didn’t make this up. It’s in the BIBLE… pretty sure of that.

SUPERBOWL SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 202666*-

Wait a second, Israel; why are you suddenly following me?

I occasionally have a day or two where the number of viewers and views suddenly POP, pop like an unexpected explosion. WHOA! This always causes me some confusion, wondering who or why; and it screws things up when it all goes back to the sub-100 normal level. The erection on the chart makes the real stats make it look like I’m so… not viral. SO, when I get 2066 hits from Israel in one and a half days, I worry a little. I mean, like, what did I post something that hurt someone’s feelings?

photo attributed to PICASA for a piece from INERTIA with a title about surfing in WAR-TORN ISRAEL. But, really, is the war tearing anything in. Israel? Not to mention GAZA, the beach mostly consisting of chunks of concrete. Future surf reefs? Hard to say.

No, I’d never say a word suggesting blowing the shit out of your neighbors doesn’t make your life safer, or make any statements that might be misconstrued as anti-semitic. But, nations do not always accurately reflect the views and wishes and morality of the citizens. The United States is an example. Really. BUT, if you have a different opinion, or you would just like to say you’re checking out realsurfers.net because we on the North Olympic Peninsula might just, might just get fewer rideable waves than you do, write me at erwin@realsurfers.net PEACE.

FEBRUARY 3, 2006- Where these fingers have been might account for this condition: HINT- Calendar Girls… mean anything to you? I am waiting, as I’m certain you are, for our President to denounce the heinous, despicable, immoral, inhumane, revolting, illegal activities described in the Epstein files, and for him to swear that the perpetrators of these vile acts, the scummy, slimy pedophiles, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

POSTED ON FEBRUARY 1, 2026 under title, “If you missed ‘Melania’ the cringe-worthy grift gift, just wait until “ERIC” comes out.”

I wrote a bunch of fairly predictable rantings about the Grifts and the Sycophants. You already know. Or you don’t. Still, I figured I’d just put this out there. Pay attention; shit’s happening!
