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.”

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
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.
Transcription / Notes
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.

Should Governor Cuomo Be Impeached?

Darrell Castle talks about the Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, from the standpoint of whether he should be impeached and not allowed to serve out his term that expires in 2022. If the answer to whether he should be impeached is yes, then why it is yes.

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.

An Outward Sign of an Inner Rot

AN OUTWARD SIGN OF AN INNER ROT
Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday February 12, in the year 2021 and today I will be talking about freedom of speech, and why that concept is no longer held in high esteem by the new culture. The title of this Report comes from an interview with Doug Casey concerning the First Amendment. Doug believes that the devaluing of freedom of speech is a sign of the inner rot of our culture. In part, this Report will also delve into the mindset behind America’s growing trend toward cancel culture or blacklisting.
The Castle Family is frozen into an Arctic prison today. This is probably mild compared to what some parts of the country are going through but for us it is very unusual and very unwelcome. It started raining ice two days ago but today it is just cold. We had to work from home yesterday but today we are back at the office in good health and good spirits.
The freedom of speech clause in the First Amendment was intended to be absolute as was the entire Bill of Rights and that view was upheld in past days by the Supreme Court. Today, however, thanks to the changing nature of our culture, and especially the oligarchs from Silicon Valley, the Freedom of Speech Clause and the entire Bill of Rights are no more than the symbols of a bygone, pretechnological age.

NOTHING SAYS UNITY LIKE SOLDIERS AND RAZOR WIRE
Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is the 29th day of January in the year of our Lord 2021 and I will be talking about the first 9 days of the Biden administration. President Biden used his first 9 days to rule by decree with the signing of many, (last count 30) executive orders as well as other actions designed to kill Trumpism and reestablish the authority of the global establishment. I wonder whether President Biden has the presence of mind to know what he is signing.
Today in the Castle family, as far as I know, there is no sickness and certainly no virus. We are grateful for that as we try to take each day as it comes. When the grasshopper asked the master how can one remain peaceful when all around him is nothing but violence? The master replied that peace is not found in what is outside the man, but from what is inside the man. In the Castle family we seek peace in the ancient words of the Bible, and we internalize it as best we can.

WEEKS WHEN DECADES HAPPEN
Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday the 15th day of January in the year 2021 and on this Report, I will be talking about the events of January 6th in Washington DC. What happened, why did it happen, and what is the result? Everyone has an opinion based on his own view, so let’s take a look at some of the fallout.
Before I begin, I will tell you that the Castle family is doing fine here in Tennessee although we are mired in the depths of winter. For those of us in this part of country winter is not that bad so I have nothing to complain about. I’m happy to say that the family daughter is fine and virus free. She apparently only had some seasonal thing so thank God for that.
