Its been sort of a lifelong nuisance nipping at my heels. My son is inclined to think there was a conspiracy behind JFK&#8217;s assassination. I think the only conspiracy was the rush to hide the intelligence services ineptitude in hiding their role in keeping track of assassin Oswald. But that&#8217;s OK. He gave up on social sciences long ago so he&#8217;s welcome to whatever theories about politics he wants.<\/p>\n<p>So, about these stats.<\/p>\n<p>These are the top locations that viewers of my blog are hailing from. They don&#8217;t necessarily represent human eyes. For instance I can think of no good reason many people in the Philippines would visit my blog other than by accident. Most of the numbers &#8220;pages&#8221; and &#8220;hits&#8221; represent Internet robots searching for whatever they have been programmed to take note of. Perhaps the Philippines has lots of servers for clients all over the world.  I think the stats from the US represent a much closer tie to my actual readers most of whom presumably come from Duluth. As for China&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I haven&#8217;t forgotten recent posts about the books I&#8217;ve been reading about China. They have emphasized what I&#8217;ve heard in the news. China does a very thorough job of scrubbing things out of the Internet that they don&#8217;t want chinese citizens to read and chief among these would be any mention of the 1989 Tiananmen Square incident. Well, if the Chinese paranoia police are anything like the Trumpista&#8217;s hope to be, able to spot any anti-americanism on Muslim&#8217;s Internet connections they may have already noted my visa application to visit China and paired it to my blog. I doubt that they have&#8230;&#8230;..yet&#8230;&#8230;..but who knows. <\/p>\n<p>If I was a Syrian wishing to get a green card to the US I&#8217;d be out of luck. As a tourist wishing to spend some of my Greenbacks sailing down the Yangtze, well maybe the Chinese would let me in.\t<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a meeting in half an hour to deal with paranoia in Duluth&#8230;&#8230;lets see if I can get a start on paranoia #2 before I have to leave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;Pages&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;Hits&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;Bandwidth ph Philippines ph&#8230;&#8230; 13,847.. 14,925&#8230;. 296.13 MB us United States us&#8230; 6,761&#8230;. 12,671&#8230;.. 436.29 MB cn China cn&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.. 2,858&#8230;.. 2,872&#8230;.. 13.08 MB Looking&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[78,47],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21280"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21280"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21280\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21293,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21280\/revisions\/21293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
