A World of Custard

By Michael Collins Morton
Feldspar Diffler had seen everything. Indeed, some of it he had seen two, three, and even four times. Life could no longer surprise Feldspar, or so he thought until one particular day, when he happened to meet a most unusual man.

The man that Feldspar met had no name, but he did possess a singular ability: he could, in an instant, turn anything, or anyone, into a cup of custard, merely by looking at the thing, or person, in question, and saying, quite loudly, "Zorf!"

"How utterly marvelous!" Feldspar declared. "By directing this fellow's ability to my own purpose, I could create a world of custard! A glorious world, completely filled with innumerable cups of custard, stretching out as far as the eye could see!"

Feldspar was quite thrilled at the prospect of being able to create a world of custard, for it was something that he had always wanted to do. (As to why Feldspar had always wanted to do such a thing, well, who can say?)

However, before Feldspar had a chance to pursue his strange ambition, the nameless man looked at him and said, "Zorf!" Feldspar was instantly turned into a cup of custard. (Which, perhaps, was just as well.)

The nameless man then proceeded to go about his own business. As he did so, he firmly told himself that, however worthy custard might be as an enjoyable foodstuff, seeking to create a world of custard was going a step too far.

Covid-19 Poses a Grievous Danger to Every Human Life

By Michael Collins Morton
At this stage of the ongoing pandemic, in 2026, it should be unmistakably apparent to any rational person that the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19 poses a grievous danger to every human life. Unfortunately, most people are still dwelling in a blank condition of mindless denial regarding Covid-19. It is, therefore, urgently necessary for the complete truth of Covid-19 to be strongly affirmed at every opportunity, again and again, as follows: Covid-19 is not "just a cold." Covid-19 is not merely a "nuisance." Covid-19 is not a "respiratory disease." Covid-19 is not a "seasonal disease." Covid-19 is not, by any true reckoning, a "mild disease." •   •   • Covid-19 is an unceasing destroyer. Covid-19 has not lessened, diminished, retreated, paused, or stopped since the start of the pandemic in 2020. Covid-19 has not become endemic. Covid-19 is a savage, unrelenting disease that frequently proves to be fatal. Covid-19 should be avoided at any...

President Trump's War Against Iran Is Proving to Be a Hugely Expensive Undertaking

By Michael Collins Morton
When irrational leaders choose, for their own irrational reasons, to wantonly engage in evil activities of mass killing and mass destruction, it does not come cheap. To offer a current example: the reckless war against Iran started by President Donald J. Trump (with malign support from Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel) on February 28, 2026, is proving to be a hugely expensive undertaking. According to the Pentagon, after the first few months of brutal action, the war has already cost the United States at least $29 billion, although the true expense is likely to be considerably greater. $29 billion that could have been used to help those who are poor and hungry. $29 billion that could have been used to provide necessary healthcare. $29 billion that could have been used to build affordable housing. $29 billion that could have been used to expand services for the elderly. $29 billion that could have been used to create better opportunities for young people. $29 billion tha...

Autumn 2023: A Dozen Essential Truths Regarding the Pandemic of Covid-19 and Its Probable Outcome

By Michael Collins Morton
In the autumn of 2023, Covid-19 continues to prevail everywhere unceasingly, passing through the air, unseen and unremarked, from one person to another person, breath by breath, causing increasing amounts of serious illness and excess mortality, while steadily undermining the fundamental structure of the human community upon which we all depend. Covid-19 is now running thoroughly out of control, spreading whenever people gather in public without wearing respirator masks, wildly flourishing to our unbounded detriment. Our adversary clearly has the upper hand, and is not disposed to be moderate or mild in its cunning assault on our bodies. Covid-19 is a pitiless enemy, savagely bent on bringing about our defeat, stealthily exploiting our ingrained weaknesses and wielding its contagion as a weapon. In view of our desperate straits, my aim here is to offer a succinct examination of a dozen essential truths regarding the pandemic of Covid-19 and its probable outcome. 1. Origin of the virus....

The Challenge of Maintaining Essential Safety During the Ongoing Pandemic of Covid-19

By Michael Collins Morton
With Covid-19 continuing to spread freely on a worldwide scale, countless instances of serious illness and early mortality are steadily undermining the foundation of the human community. Fundamental principles of care, concern, and caution have been heedlessly abandoned, leading to casual acceptance of unhealthy conditions that, in the long term, pose an overwhelming threat to our collective survival. The situation is extremely bad, and clearly getting worse. Respirator masks unquestionably provide the most effective means of curbing the malign advance of Covid-19, but the masses are not required to wear them, and therefore decline to wear them, which is why the masses are now destined for destruction. Since 2020, such negligence has served as a primary enabler of Covid-19. In huge crowds and in small gatherings, potentially fatal infection is constantly being passed from one person to another, in a cycle of mutual harm. For those, such as myself, who choose to resist the reckless ment...

The Human Community Has Fatally Lost Its Balance

By Michael Collins Morton
A quarter of the way into the 21st century, it is becoming undeniably apparent that we are now speeding toward a final stage of total destruction. A brief examination is enough to easily confirm that the human community has fatally lost its balance. The world of 2025 is increasingly beset by the baleful forces of war, genocide, disease, technology, greed, deceit, corruption, and hypocrisy, with a host of heinous conditions swiftly worsening from one day to the next. Two particular instances of unspeakable evil provide undeniable evidence of our collective descent into a hell of our own making. The first instance is the overtly deliberate spread of airborne contagion that has propelled the current pandemic of Covid-19 since March, 2020, causing at least 27 million people to perish worldwide. The second instance is the wholesale slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza carried out by Israel since October, 2023, with tens of thousands of helpless civilians being wantonly murdered. The monstrous ...
