“A free republic! How a myth will maintain itself, how it will continue to deceive, to dupe, and blind even the comparatively intelligent to its monstrous absurdities. A free republic! And in little more than thirty years a small band of parasites have successfully robbed the American people, and trampled upon the fundamental principles, laid down by the fathers of the country, guaranteeing every man. woman, and child “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”.” Emma Goldman~The Psychology of Political Violence~1910

18 Years and Counting

It’s been a little over 18 years since the attacks of September 11,’01 changed the complexion of American life, as well as the world’s, laying the foundations for the continued theft of capital, from the average worker’s meager savings, to be sucked up by the vampires of corporate enterprises. Yes, a big statement. The attacks ushered in the modern dystopia that a large portion of Americans face daily, ya know, the ones never mentioned on corporate(MSM) media as they paint pictures of Disneyland, — one network is owned by Disney, ABC — a wonderland of endless, lush meadows of unicorns and faeries. Wow! What a place to live if it actually existed, but it doesn’t. Not by a long shot. And if we go by Emma’s essay, fast-forwarded to the 21st century, we have 22 more years to go before the bloodletting is complete. Maybe that’s when the impending collapse happens; maybe sooner, I’m no prophet; maybe not at if luck falls from outer space as a deus ex machina, a giant skyhook.

A Few Examples

Well for one, the Brits voted for Boris Johnson as Prime Minister. The smears against Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn worked their evil magic and the UK’s version Donald Trump was elected again as their leader. Apparently he used some of the same playbook’s techniques that worked for Trump. He’s predicting being able to work with Trump, as in blood brothers, besties, after Trump wins in 2020. Yikes! The eviscerating of the average person will continue with a new fervor if this happens, and the way the DNC is loaded against Bernie Sanders, this nasty picture of dystopia might come true. It worked over there against their version of Sanders so it could well happen here too in 2020. Here’s an excellent link from one of their analysts, a postmortem of their election.\/

Over here the spectacle of the impeachment hearings have reached a consensus of sorts and two articles have been laid out. Article one, the 1st; abuse of power on his phone call to Ukraine and his asking their President for an investigation of Biden&Son’s corruption. His mistake; he asked the wrong dude. Biden definitely needs investigating, but it needs to be separate from the race of 2020 as they think Biden has a chance to win. How about sending an off-the-books, non-government, agent to investigate malfeasance? The 2nd; obstructing the investigating of said first article. WT Bloody F? How about the concentration camps south of where I live in New Mexico. How about the children that have been torn away from their parents, some of which still haven’t been located? How about the children that died from lack of medical care or care in general? How about supporting the Saudi’s continued genocide on Yemen? No, just a damn phone call that amounted to nothing in the end. Ukraine still got weapons to fight that rascal Putin’s “aggression” at their border. Some of these hearings were direct propaganda against Russia. What a fucking shitshow.

Something a bit different is the continued poisoning of Earth, our only home. Adding to the growing concern are that toxins may/will be overtaking the climate crisis are all the mining scars, tailings, disposal of animal waste, coal ash, nuclear waste, etc. I see both concurrently on a somewhat equal footing, but with toxins a greater threat in the shorter term timeline. This is dystopia on steroids. Here’s review of a new Hollywood film that leaves half of the problem out of its message. After all the military allows Hollywood to make military propaganda pieces by supplying expensive weaponry in a promotional write-off so war pictures look authentic. The film “Top Gun’ was one of these par excellence. So we can’t have Hollywood saying anything negative about our vaunted military machine now, can we? Link \/

Days

I could spend days writing about all the negative problems affecting the citizens of Earth. We are all really one big family. So why do certain groups want to kill other groups? They make enemies so we will support their wars for making profit. That’s all wars are ever for, fucking profit; every last damn one of them. Since civilization arose and certain leaders realized they could get others to do the heavy lifting of growing crops by supplying security so the chiefdoms could grow. For sure some of these early chiefs were psychopaths and thought nothing of slaughtering other chiefdoms for their food, stock, or valuable goods. That ethos needs to be put in the past, and the world as a whole, all the peoples, need to rise and grow up and learn that a crisis of unspeakable horror awaits if things don’t rapidly change. So how about today? Change yourself, get a new attitude that we are all really connected and live that way. Then join in solidarity and overthrow the leaders that will destroy the world.

One Last Item~Nukes

Yes, nukes. The US recently pulled out of the INF treaty signed in 1987 by President Reagan of the US and Soviet Secretary General Mikhail Gorbachev. I blame John Bolton and his band of evil, wicked neocon psychopaths. So guess what? The House Democrats allowed a massive spending bill through just to keep the govt afloat(with no shutdown) without stripping the language from developing new nukes. This article explains it. link \/

Fin

I see a losing battle in slow motion unfolding in real time happening all around without much of a chance for turning things around in time to avoid catastrophe. How bad it gets depends on now. Protests won’t do. Maybe nothing can be done. I’ve already grieved the loss a few years ago when I saw the extent of what’s been brought forth by industrial capitalism and the destruction of things I thought would be around for millennia to come. The 6th Mass Extinction Event is real and happening now. Time to find a way to mitigate the wounds and start healing as soon as possible because it is ultimately up to all of us, humankind.
