I love this, Dr. Eades. I learn many things from the work you put into the Arrow. Much appreciated. I am a retired physician and I've been teaching on video since the start of the Covidian Complex. This has evolved into short form video across several social media platforms. I've done video teaching from several editions of the Arrow with the challenge being compiling the information into a 3-5 minute video. I reference you when discussing Arrow issues so perhaps I've drummed up some subscribers for you. As a retired OB/GYN, I want to discuss the narrative from ABOG regarding the vaccines that was sent to every practicing OB/GYN only to find out they were getting a kick back for directing the narrative of what their Diplomates were required to "tell" their patients. I have to figure out how to word my comments without running afoul of the censorship algorithms. I had a video taken down in November for telling people what practicing physicians do when they get Covid. I also had a video taken down for discussing a paper published in October revealing the fact that about 50% of clinical studies since 1980 were factually inaccurate. That one was flagged for "inauthenticity" even though I was basically reading word for word what was a published review article on the invalidity of so many clinical studies funded by the pharmaceutical industry. Again, thanks so much for all you do. Carry on!
Thank you, Mike, for those links. I feel like you help expand my brain and my learning about many things random and of interest that I might never have realized or thought about.
Thanks for the new content, and I like having it offset from the time the Arrow comes out.
I had read before about the strange location of the fuel gauge in the plane Denver died in. It must be hard to know you are about to die because you've run out of gas.
If you were worried about hypersonic missiles before, nothing has changed. I don't believe Ukraine shot one down. Peace with Russia is in our best interest. If we decide to get into a war with her (why are countries always feminine?) we will not do well. Ukraine is not doing well. This war will end very badly for Ukraine and not well for the US and NATO.
I also have reservations about RFK2 and his decades long anti-vaccine crusade which will unfortunately get strengthened because of the Covid vaccine debacle. I think the better phrase is "continually lies" not "continuously lies". The problem is not with someone who lies all the time, but someone who lies frequently, while often telling the truth. Separating truth from falsehood is a lot harder in the second case. Governments lie for the same reason as people do, because they think it benefits them to do so. We need to change the incentives so that telling unpleasant or unfavorable truths is rewarded. But if there are enormous rewards for lying and no losses if caught, why should we expect anything different. I'm sure anyone with kids has had to deal with that issue.
China will not be dead in the water because of Mexico, and rice production will be back to normal in a year. (You've been reading too much PonyTailGuy again) China wants to trade with Europe and trade routes from China to Europe go through Ukraine. All countries benefit from peace, and China has become a power broker in the Mideast, and is now trying to become one in Eastern Europe. They have a better chance of bringing about peace than NATO has. China's best days are ahead of them. The countries in decline are the US and Europe. Our best days are behind us. The world is becoming multipolar not unipolar as it has been for the last 30 years.
As to Tolstoy, Gary Saul Morson's new book "Wonder Confronts Certainty: Russian Writers on the Timeless Questions and Why Their Answers Matter" is now available on Amazon. I'm working my way through "Anna Karenina in Our Time". Morson also published a book about War and Peace some 35 years ago called "Hidden in Plain View".
Thanks again for your efforts in providing interesting content.
Wonderful musings as always. Yet disturbing that you expressed reservations about RFK Jr. A week ago I writ a one-pager on him, by the modest title https://humanism.substack.com/p/is-rfk-jr-an-american-christ but do note one thing for anyone who makes it to the end of his interview. (RFK Jr has been defending kids' health for decades - like nobody else). Both the interviewer and the cameraman were in tears. Take a chance and watch it.
I should warn you though, Mike. I, too, used to do a "wee newsletter" that STARTED back in 2020 sharing covid true-news (trying to save family and friends!). That expanded to about 5-6 OTHER topics. Now mind, I was pulling some of it from OTHER people's lists; and I didn't have to write any descriptions. Then, since the emails were getting ridiculously long, I split the one email apart into several, then many! Covid, then Ukraine, then reparations, then China, then climate, then guns, illegals/invaders, the SVB crash, student loans, the Palestine train crash.... ACK.
(One guy who really liked what I was sending -- but was still working -- was stuffing them into a folder to read when he retired in a few more months.)
I finally got SO depressed and stressed watching the end of the world, that I sent to them all that I was quitting -- and they were on their own (with the list of the places I'd pull from). However, I couldn't just STOP my 'morning sweep.' (I'd been spending 4-5 HOURS reading through the world, and then I'd go to the workroom, or switch to accounting and customer service. Working from home has time-bennies!) So, now I am doing "only" 2-4 hours every morning, but still pulling info and links, data and comments, and sticking them into word-processer documents: reach 30 pages and I start a new file (they're topical: like "Send-covid5" and Send-WEF3). Oh, and I still struggle with my desire to send them on (it's important info, dammit!) so, trying to limit even more strongly, I made a file called Send-More, intending it to be a one-stop-shop -- i.e., NOT sorted. I'm up to document Send-More25 (x30 pages!) and Send-Covid11 (x30), Send-Ukraine6 etc. etc. Others: Hamlin, WACO, Russia, Election, even Eggs -- are all just ONE file so far...
So, a kind heart-felt warning... TRY to make sure you stop sweeping up ALL the important and interesting news and links you find... you may end up giving up golf AMD sleep just to get done!
I'd seen that RFK Tweet earlier and had commented thusly:
"Today the lying has become so routine..."
I refer to it as "the banality of dishonesty playing out as automatic lying."
It's a sort of reference to Hannah Arendt's characterization of evil vis-à-vis Adolf Eichmann; which is to say, it's functionary, routine, and bureaucratic at core more so than some red-devilish creature with horns, red cape, and blivet.
Great stuff-keep it up! But where do you get the time to do all this? It will take me a week to get through the items I’m interested in especially considering the time needed to take in the Arrow. What a bargain the subscription is.
I love the Quiver! Great list of interesting stories. So far, I've only read the John Denver story (like you, I always wondered what happened) and the story about resurrecting the paleobacteria (Why? Just why?) But several caught my interest and I'll go back and read them when I have more time.
A couple of typos caught my old copy-editor's eye: In the Denver paragraph, "it's" should be "its". In the story about the Texas shooter, you write "The list of victims of the Allen, TX mall shooting have not been released". In this case, the verb "have" should be "has" since it's "the list" that would be released, not "the victims". (I find that a prepositional phrase [of the victims] coming between the subject [list] and the verb [has] seems to confuse a lot of writers.)
I apologize if this is a duplicate comment. My first try somehow got lost in the ether.
I sent this to (nearly) everyone I know. Fascinating stuff!! Only problem is - I got so involved I missed a doctor's appt.
Keep it up. It's like having a gatekeeper distill my information for me.
BTW: The Asian market, H-Mart, likely has the energy-producing, potato-like veggie you mentioned in a past Arrow issue. It's in Carrollton and worth the trip. It's like a first trip to Disney World.
Please keep the quiver full for us! It is like walking into a readers command center with a full dashboard of possible options. It has been amazing how many have turned up later in the general news. One never knows when you need to draw back the bow one more time...
Love the 1st issue of the Quiver. It gives me time to go back during the week to read what you have shared. I especially enjoyed reading about John Denver and the Midwestern Doctor. Thanks for bringing such interesting topics to my attention.
I really like this Doc, thanks for putting it together. I'm a heavy news consumer because of one of my vocations and I missed a few of these. Keep it coming.

Ivor Cummins said this is the best newsletter around and I don't disagree.
I'd seen that RFK Tweet earlier and had commented thusly:

Excellent! Very much enjoying the eclectic mix of topics.

Awesome! TY. Even better than some your regular posts; for me at least
I sent this to (nearly) everyone I know. Fascinating stuff!! Only problem is - I got so involved I missed a doctor's appt.

I really enjoyed the short hodge-podge of very interesting info. Keep it up!
