Time in my life where I got little to eat

Early in my life I got little to eat. Throughout my childhood, I was a very skinny child, or “bony” as some would jokingly call it. My mother and father would both tell others that I was naturally skinny. But the truth was that I wasn’t fed very much as a child up until my teen years. This was because each of my divorced parents always felt it was someone else’s duty to feed me. My maternal grandparents, who raised me also fed me, and pay for food for me when not with them. So, whenever I was with either of my parents, I never got much to eat. My mother and her 2nd husband would only feed me table scraps. My father and his 2nd wife, ) would only feed me leftovers. Rock bottom came when I was put on a diet by a psychiatrist being told by my mother that I was an… Read More »Time in my life where I got little to eat

I’ve finally found my father’s obituary

After several years, I’ve finally found my father’s obituary, death notice and service Info, which was hidden at legacy.com. I took it upon myself to make a concise, prudent and truthful contribution to the guest book. This is what I wrote: “I am Kenneth Kassner, Herbert Kassner’s second son. I’d like to speak my peace, now that I’ve finally found this page. There is no mention of my daughter Kelly, who was 3 years old at the time of Herb Kassner’s passing. He did not like her because she is the first blood relative of his not to have a Jewish mother. This does not surprise me, for I have always know my father to be Anti-Gentile. This obituary has also left out two others of his children, Gerald and Karen, both born out of wedlock. While I respect the dead and have no hatred for my father, I’ll mention that Herb Kassner was not… Read More »I’ve finally found my father’s obituary

Manhattan history being stereotyped and changed

Sadly, Manhattan history stereotyped by changing “facts”. It never looked like the picture with a whole bunch of trees, forest, lakes or swamp. Manhattan is mass of bedrock, later evolved on into an inner city. Manhattan, with mounds of dirt and soil wheeled in on wagons was eventually built into an artificial island. I studied about this in school. Today many concoct a phony history rewrite of Manhattan’s development. Even Manhattan’s name was thought to mean “place to get bows or gather wood to make bows”, but the novel name came from a 14th century Latin term meaning water settlement. This is what happens when people rewrite books, rename places and destroy relics.For what it’s worth, I was born and raised in Manhattan. I bring up the story of Manhattan because it is a prime example of what is happening today with a lot of our history. I was one of many students to study… Read More »Manhattan history being stereotyped and changed

Much as I love trains, Amtrak sucks.

Much as I love trains, Amtrak sucks. I found out that in Europe and Asia, people commonly refer to all Amtrak engines as SLOBS (Slow Locomotive Offshoot Blowouts). You can’t blame it on big oil, climate change or safety for why we don’t invest in rail transport the way we should. But there are over two dozen other countries with electric and diesel service t exceeding 200 mph and altogether over 40 other countries with that same service over 170 mph. Amtrak at best goes 140 mph regardless of what they advertise or claim, yet on average they go much slower and use excuses to announce delays so that people don’t ask for refunds. A bullet train in Japan could go between NYC and Dallas in 5 hours. If you take the US out of all these stupid wars we have no business in, stop wasting money on stupid projects, use eminent domain the way… Read More »Much as I love trains, Amtrak sucks.

The overblown lockdown, aka ‘’COVID-19 Pandemic’’

Educational The overblown “COVID” lockdown (referred to as “the COVID-19 Pandemic”), has me I miss doing many thing, such as playing music in venues and clubs. I miss getting together with friends. I miss shopping in NYC. I miss traveling on the train up and down the Eastern Seaboard to visit friends and relatives. I miss how well I was able to maintain my health. Though I was never really phased by the publicity of the lockdown, I was surrounded by people who were. Throughout 2020, I would see people wearing masks and not understand why, since this was all in observance of an airborne virus that was manufactured in a laboratory on the other side of the world.In 2021, I was under pressure from people around me to take a experimental vaccine without a doctor’s prescription. I, like many was told I would be denied any medical care if I didn’t. After seeking 3… Read More »The overblown lockdown, aka ‘’COVID-19 Pandemic’’

This is how lavish resorts like the Concord Hotel went out of business

The Concord Hotel was a lavish hotel that had existed for over 60 years until it closed down in the 1990’s, an example of how resorts out of business at that time occurred. This was publicly due to mismanagement and bankruptcy. But like with most mismanagement, the detailed story was even more embarrassing. The Concord Hotel had key tags on all its 1500 room keys. On one side of each tag was the specific room number. But on the other side was the worst blunder a hotel could ever make. putting the address of the hotel on the key tags to “guarantee postage”. This “guarantee” was only under the premise that people would even take the time to throw the keys in a mailbox, which was as rare as it was expected. Back then, most guests didn’t return their keys. Instead, they’d either lose them, give them away to other people, or just throw them… Read More »This is how lavish resorts like the Concord Hotel went out of business

11 years since my younger brother had died in motorcycle crash

It was 11 years ago on this day (October 2nd) that my younger brother Jeff had died in a motorcycle crash in Boston, Massachusetts when he was only 35. What’s worse to go along with the loss of his life, was that his legacy was tarnished by people who had lied about him before and after my younger brother died. It was extra painful for me since Jeff and I had become very close in his final 10 years. Jeff was one of 2 children that my 2nd cousin (my father’s cousin’s adapted daughter) had during her marriage to my father (his 2nd wife). She had a bitter divorce with my father 20 years prior to my brother’s death. She never recovered from her divorce, and has since applied all her anger on me for her own “healing” reasons. This included botching all of Jeff final affairs.To emphasize on my younger brother’s death, the motorcycle… Read More »11 years since my younger brother had died in motorcycle crash

Creating a Life out of Lies

Life out of Lies is creating long-term lies is a practice popular among people wanting “more perfection for themselves” the “easy way”. Many unsatisfied people choose to do character assassinations on others they don’t like and then separate themselves from those people so that they never face the truth, even in avoidable situations. Recipients of these character assassinations get chosen on their lack of popularity, 2nd -hand information or not living up to desired standards of those lying. Long term liars aim to create unresolved matters hoping that it will all stick. More of how I know this all at It becomes easier to understand how bad propaganda works when you look at certain situations at home. Coming from a dysfunctional family, my mother’s relatives were good people. But my father’s relatives were marbled with good, bad and ugly. My older brother married a woman in 1984 who chose not to like me, which is… Read More »Creating a Life out of Lies
