COULD WE BE REACHING PEAK WOKE?
Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday the 7th day of May in this the year of our Lord 2021, and today I will be looking at the question of whether we are approaching peak woke. Could the pendulum be swinging back the other direction or said another way, could this be as bad as it gets or will we continue down the same road to our ultimate cultural and national destruction.
This is Mothers’ Day weekend and in the Castle Family I celebrate my wife Joan who is the mother of the family daughter. Both Joan and I lost our mothers many years ago, so we celebrate her and the family daughter whose husband returns from over a year’s exile at the bottom of the world due to the virus, so a glorious weekend of celebration for the Castle Family.
What do I mean by the word woke? A good example of woke for Mothers’ Day is that the woke term for mother is birthing person. That’s right folks I wish I were kidding but I’m afraid not. Woke is an ideology of race and identity which holds basically that American white people are all racist because it is imbedded in their DNA. Often, they may not even be aware of it but that racism is the reason for the lack of success of non-whites when and if there is lack of success. I defer to Paul Craig Roberts, “The Democrats, the media, the woke intellectuals, the universities, and the public schools are hard at work preparing our doom. The United States are now the Disunited States. The blue states believe in white guilt, critical race theory, systemic racism, identity politics, and that all products of Western Civilization, even mathematics, are symbols and devices of white supremacy. The red states do not have an understanding of the ideological assault that has been mounted against them.”

I Live in An Occupied Country
Podcast: Download
Darrell Castle talks about his perception right now that he lives in a country occupied by a foreign and hostile force — not a foreign nation, but a foreign ideology that is foreign to everything he holds dear and everything he has believed all his life; a foreign and hostile ideology that occupies the halls of power, of education, of business and of entertainment.

I LIVE IN AN OCCUPIED COUNTRY
Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday the 30th day of April in the year of our Lord 2021. I will be talking about how my perception right now is as if I live in a country occupied by a foreign and hostile force. I don’t mean a foreign nation but a foreign ideology that is foreign to everything I hold dear and everything I have believed in throughout my life. Yes, a foreign and hostile ideology occupies the halls of power, of education, of business, and of entertainment.
Today is the last Friday and the last day of April and temperatures are starting to heat up here in the River City. Yesterday the temperature was in the mid 80’s and the Castle family roses are responding with their beauty coming out for our enjoyment. We are fine and in good health now just rolling with the punches as is the family daughter out in the land of California.
Speaking of living in an occupied country, many people in 1940 thought that the French army was superior to the Germans because of the vast numbers of men and tanks, but all those people turned out to be wrong. It took the Germans about four weeks to conquer France and occupy Paris. The older French people who had sacrificed so much in the previous war cried, the young men were in uniform or in the resistance, as were many of the young women. They all had a common hope, however, and that hope rested in the hundreds of thousands of young men willing to risk their lives to rescue them and their nation.

Americans Are Seeing Two Different Movies
Podcast: Download
Darrell Castle has been an attorney for over 40 years and talks today about the trial and verdict of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the death of George Floyd. He does not question the verdict but rather the reaching of the verdict in advance of the trial as the American legal system is based on the idea that one is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
AMERICANS ARE SEEING TWO DIFFERENT MOVIES
Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday the 23rd day of April in this the year of our Lord 2021. I will be talking about the trial and verdict of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the death of George Floyd. I do not question the verdict, but I question the deciding of the verdict in advance of the trial. In America, the system is based on the idea that one is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Why bother with a trial if we already know the verdict?
The Castle family is doing well health wise on this Friday as we continue to enjoy spring. It has been a little chilly this week in the river city with lows in the 30’s but as a famous Russian once said, how can you enjoy summer without winter to give it sweetness. The family daughter is holding up as best one can in the city of angels.
The system that I have spent my life believing in and trusting in now seems to be getting more irrational and delusional each day. Throughout my educational life I was taught that the criminal justice system was a search for truth and therein justice would be found, and when found, justice was blind. It was to operate by a system of rules that were sacrosanct and was to be as free of outside bias as it is possible to make it. The process is to be protected as more important than the outcome.

MISJUDGING RUSSIA AGAIN

Darrell Castle talks about foreign policy especially Russia, since Washington is once again rattling the sabers, threatening, and bullying those abroad.

MISJUDGING RUSSIA AGAIN
Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday, the 16th day of April in the year of our Lord 2021 and in this report, I will focus on foreign policy especially Russia, since Washington is once again rattling the sabers, threatening, and bullying those abroad. China and Iran are also problems, but I will save those problems for another day. I recommend my Castle Report of August 23, 2015 entitled The Mind of Russia, as a good background for this Report. You can find that by going to castlereport.us Index.
The Castle Family is doing just fine right now living the good life here in the southern spring far from the virus. There is no illness in this family that we know of not even in Los Angeles. I will admit to encouraging my family to be careful and proceed with caution during this time since both Joan and I are past the age of 65. Overly cautious perhaps, but as family leader I thought it best and so far, so good.
Joan and I were riding to work in her car on Wednesday of this week when I asked her why logic and truth did not seem to matter anymore. She was stumped by my question, but we continued to debate it with me giving her one example after another of how illogical the premise of this society seems to be. Just from a foreign policy standpoint I question whether anyone in government cares about what is best for America and the American people. Whether the subject is virus or Russia, the decisions lack logic, truth, and even common sense.

Big Tech + Big Media + Big Government = A Society Destroyed By Experts

Darrell Castle talks about the shocking levels of lies upon which almost everything presently seems to be based. The government seems to be using private companies to outsource its lies so that it’s hard to tell the difference.

Big Tech + Big Media +Big Government = A Society Destroyed By Experts
Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is the 9th day of April in this the year of our Lord 2021. Today I will be talking about the shocking levels of lies upon which almost everything presently seems to be based. Previously only the government was the brunt of jokes about liars such as how do you know they are lying; their lips are moving. Now the government seems to be using private companies to outsource its lies so that it’s hard to tell the difference anymore.
The Castle Family is doing fine and enjoying this beautiful spring weather with its flowers and everything green. No virus in this family that we know of and for that we are grateful. I suppose its spring in Los Angeles as well or so the family daughter tells us.
In my opening paragraph I mentioned that the government seems to be outsourcing its lies to private liars, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. My theory is that this government, in conjunction with big tech and big media, wants to take actions against the American people that are so egregious and unconstitutional that even Americans might wake up and object. To avoid such objection and to hide behind a corporate veil government gets through persuasion or profit, corporations to do its dirty work. They always cite their experts as reasons why us peons are supposed to just shut up and listen to the science.

Vaccine Passports – Keeping Us Safe or the End of Human Liberty?
Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday, Good Friday as a matter of fact, April 2nd in the year of our Lord 2021. Since this is Good Friday, then this Sunday is Easter, the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Today, I will be talking about the ever-growing likelihood of nationwide internal passports being imposed on the once free American People.
The Castle Family is doing fine this Easter weekend as Joan and I will attend the sunrise service at our church Sunday morning. He lives, we believe, and since he does, we can face tomorrow and the growing Stalinist threat of the new government commonly known as the Biden administration. The family daughter will celebrate Easter in her own fashion in her adopted home of Los Angeles, California.

Geopolitical Disaster

Darrell Castle talks about how the foreign policy of the Biden administration, in its first two months, has been a geopolitical disaster.

GEOPOLITICAL DISASTER
Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday the 26th day of March in this the year of our Lord 2021, and on this Report, I will be talking about how a few foreign policy blunders have exposed what passes for the Biden Administration to the whole world as the aged dementia patient with old, unrealistic expectations that it is. Another possible title for this report might be America as laughingstock for the world especially Russia and China.
For the Castle Family we look up at the sky from the deck of our Germantown home and we can see nothing wrong, but we feel down in our very soul that there is something wrong. However, it is officially spring now and the weather is beautiful on most days. We are all healthy including the family daughter in her California seclusion.
I will start this report by saying that under normal circumstances Joe Biden’s handlers, having learned their lesson, do not let him talk to foreign leaders and certainly not alone, so most of the conversations he was referring to with Vladimir Putin occurred while he was Vice President, that is, if they occurred at all. His recollection of them was on March 16, however, and therein lies the rub.

Is Failure Part of the Plan?

Darrell Castle looks at some of the recent actions of our federal government and asks the following question: Is someone up there really stupid or is failure part of a designed and very sinister plan, or both?

IS FAILURE PART OF THE PLAN?
Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday the 19th day of March in the year of our Lord 2021, and on this report, I will be looking at some of the recent actions of our federal government and asking the following question: is someone up there really stupid or is failure part of a designed and very sinister plan, or both.
The Castle family is adjusting well to the switch to daylight savings time with its extra hour of daylight each day. The plants will grow faster with the extra light so spring will accelerate its arrival. In Los Angeles the family daughter seems to be doing well at least virtually.
I have often wondered why the government repeatedly does such stupid things. Sometimes hindsight is 20-20 but sometimes it seems as though officials in our government see the wise choice and then do the opposite. For example, the federal government acts as if economics is not something the best and brightest in each succeeding administration can understand. The last president who acted as if he understood it was Bill Clinton. Remember his slogan; it’s the economy stupid.

Who Is Minding The Launch Codes?

Darrell Castle talks about whether the President of the United States is physically and mentally capable of doing the job he holds which includes the retaliatory launch of nuclear missiles when an enemy launch is detected.

WHO IS MINDING THE LAUNCH CODES?
Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday the 5th day of March in the year of our Lord 2021. Today I will be talking about whether the President of the United States is physically and mentally capable of doing the job he holds. That job includes the retaliatory launch of nuclear missiles when an enemy launch is detected, a concept known as launch on warning.
First though, the Castle family is enjoying the sudden spring like weather that has returned following our weeklong bout with freezing artic winter. Spring temperatures are here, and the ducks and geese are returning from their migration to escape the frozen lakes. The family daughter has no geese in Los Angeles, but she is doing well in the almost perfect, at least for now, weather of Southern California.
Since the use of nuclear weapons brought an end to World War ll, and a beginning to the nuclear age the authority to launch nuclear missiles has resided in the President of the United States. A military officer follows the President everywhere he goes day and night with a briefcase that contains the launch codes and the launch sequence for the nation’s nuclear arsenal.

SHOULD GOVENOR CUOMO BE IMPEACHED?
Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday the 26th day of February in the year 2021. Today, I will be talking about the Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo from the standpoint of whether he should be impeached and not allowed to serve until his term expires in 2022. If the answer to whether he should be impeached is yes, then why is it yes.
The Castle family is warm and cozy once again as the temperatures have returned to the 60’s and high 50’s. This is an amazing place to live when you can have 12 inches of snow one week and 3-degree temperatures when even the city’s water lines froze, and 70 degrees one week later. It is good to be back in the office full time. The family daughter remains just fine in 75-degree Los Angeles.
What in the world is going on with Governor Cuomo? The image he has tried very hard to cultivate for himself as a model of propriety, a paragon of virtue, highly competent, great leader is in serious doubt today. Attacks are coming at him on several fronts with new accusations an almost daily occurrence. It’s almost as if his fellow New York Democrats are sharks with blood in the water.
