Mike Pearson's Adventures on a Pale Blue Dot

   The Saviour of the modern world, Emperor Donald J Trump has been in high level meetings with managers of his ever bigly expanding conquered lands and oceans. These meetings have prevented His Greatness from making his usual public appearances and glorious utterances. The Emperor himself assures all the faithful that Everything Is Going According To Plan. To calm and pacify the masses of well wishers, His Greatness has duly authorized his image to be projected every 15 minutes on every screen that exists in the Trumpistan Empire. A pre-recorded message will provide guidance and stimulation to the Ever Faithful. News from the back channels of The Resistance. We can't verify any of these reports that have leaked in from various sources around the world.  All electronic communications on the planet are monitored by Trumpistan Security and Surveillance Services Corporation.  ( see your daily Trumpistan tax assessment to view your contribution to this Safety and Securit...

Over 1000 Canadian workers are killed every year.    Pipelayer Jeff Caron was killed in a trench collapse on October 11 2012. He was 28 years old. A co-worker, Thomas Richer was badly injured in the very same cave-in.  The trial against the company, J Cote Ecxavating of Langley BC and foreman David Green did not take place until 12 years had passed.  12 nightmarish years for the family of Jeff Caron. The points I want to discuss here are... 1. Darn near every trench collapse death and injury is preventable.  Making good decisions, spending the time and money to ensure worker safety will prevent ugly and traumatic deaths and injuries on construction work sites. 2. At the December 2025 trial, Judge Brundett found three senior officers of J Cote and Sons Excavating, guilty in the the 2012 death of Jeff Caron.   Jobsite foreman David Green was found not guilty of separate charges of manslaughter and criminal negl...

Rumours and stories about rumours. In the Occupied Territory Formerly Known as " Quebec", a Resistance Movement is born. French speaking resistance fighters have made an alliance with the Indian Nations of the Quebec territory. Leaders of the Mohawk nation, Algonquin and Cree Nations are combining forces with other Indian peoples scattered across the territory. The sole purpose of the Alliance is to push the American invaders out of the Homeland. The New French Resistance and the Indian Warrior Nation are using modern guerilla warfare tactics to inflict damage and casualties on the invaders. All electronic communication is banned by the Resistance, with the exception of decoy radio and cellphone messages. Communication is either face to face away from the prying electronic eyes of drones and satellites, or via graffiti messages on train cars and factory walls. The New French Resistance in partnership with the Indian Warrior Nation has secretly developed a plug and play remote...

As our all wise and all seeing Emperor Trump predicted, Greenland was indeed poorly protected by its Danish patrons. This morning at 3am, the T.I.A. ( Trump Intelligence Agency) launched a drone and space based weapon attack on the Pittuffic Base in Northwest Greenland. The military installation was completely destroyed and early spy satellite estimates show all inhabitants to be killed in action or missing in action. Emperor Trump went live on the Trump News Network to announce the successful mission. The Emperor also announced that starting today the New Greenland Territory will have 24 hour aerial patrols by B-52 and B-1 aircraft. Aerial refueling by the Empire Air Force tankers and repurposed ( seized) refueling air tankers from the former Europe will provide 24/ 365 cover for the new Territory of the Empire. The Trump Naval Systems Fleet will provide round the clock naval patrols and blockade all commercial freighter traffic in the North Atlantic. Today, the Empire is Safe and Str...

Emperor Fireworks show and Other News. Emperor Trump and Viceroy Vladimir enjoyed a special holiday fireworks show together this past weekend. The Special Entertainment Bureau launched Mars mission rockets, and science satellite rockets at the same time and crashed them together several miles offshore from the South Florida Imperial Trump Palazzo. This produced spectacular flames, sparks and smoke trails that provided much delight to the hard working leadership of our Great Trump Empire. Earlier in the week our magnificent and all seeing leader deemed all space exploration ( manned or unmanned) to be a futile and childish waste of money and talent. All NASA and JPL ( Jet Propulsion Laboratory) staff, scientists and engineers will be transfered to the Trump Real Estate Development Corporation. In their new roles, they will be designing glorious new Trump branded cities, golf courses and penal colonies. The ex-Trillionaire, Mr Musk will continue to run a special projects space company fo...

Great success on all fronts. Success like nobody has ever seen before. Truly amazing ratings across the board. The failed state that was Canada, that underperforming, underutilized lump of land that Emperor Trump has recently acquired, is quickly becoming a crown jewel asset to the Greater American Empire. Emperor Trump has purchased the full service and sworn allegiance of the Canadian federal police previously known as the RCMP, and all the government security services for an all cash deal. Chancellor Vance told the Trump Truth Media Corporation that the purchase cost the Lower America fiefdom absolutely zero Petro dollars because of the financial genius of Emperor Trump. His Eminence used repurposed cash from the recently liberated Ontario Teachers Pension Plan to purchase the RCMP and security services.  Emperor Trump delivered 25 billion dollars in newly printed Trumpistan cash to the  Cold Lake Alberta military base. ( Trump Asset Management Agency took a 32 billion doll...
