"The Great Society"

                                                           Back in "The Day"---MY Day, the early 70's, which seems like 27 "FOREVERS" and 15 HUNDRED Lifetimes, there were 'slogans' that were utilized as Inspirations as well as communications among those of Us who Protested the War in Vietnam and the Government that waged it .   Further, there were Protests over Civil Rights Inequities that UNIFIED an entire Generation .  We had "Skin In the Game", meaning, OUR classmates, team-mates, friends and cronies were being shipped off to Vietnam AGAINST OUR WILLS to wage a War NO ONE WANTED --->   EXCEPT THE MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX .   We weren't just getting 'Fucked' we were getting RAPED and we Protested to Express Our AGONY !!!!!!!!!    

                            EVERY DAY PROTESTS Registered as UNIVERSAL MALCONTENT, and it FORCED    LBJ and his    to End the Carnage in Vietnam .   America SURRENDED and was a BETTER Nation for it .   You can see "IT" rite ????

Groucho Marx delivers ...

                                                           I utilize Quotations because, at their optimal, they  >>Inspire<< .   A look at 'Inspire' offers this :  within Inspiration is s-p-i-r  short form of Spirit, and Spirit is the Life Energy not only of the Universe but ALL its Inhabitants .   Thus, the employment of Quotations is the employment of Spirit, where employment connotes >>>Infusion<<< .   If we are "Dis-Spirited", lacking in Spirit, Quotations afford an Infusion of Spirit, thereby imbuing us with the so-called Energy of Life .   'IT' helps us passed our "limitations" and can even Guide us toward a HEALTHIER Direction .   

                                The second "Fail Safe" Mechanism in which I rarely indulge is, personal depictions, meaning 'stories' of my Life .   I must note that these stories are Extreeeemly subjective, and that the only Reason I would employ them is to make my Gentle Readers Aware of mistakes, sins, and Cosmic  >transgressions< that have led me to misfortune, Misery and Suffering ALL OF WHICH SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS.    My Duty to my Gentle Readers is to AID them in their own Life Journeys .    Here it is where my own FAILURES must be BILLBOARDED so that My Gentle Readers get a "Heads uP" to the disasters and calamities that ABOUND in Existence as TRAPS and PITFALLS .

                                 The Goal of Pure Authorship is to ADVANCE CIVILIZATION --- to Contribute SOUND  Advice and  offer WISDOM as an Agent of  Change and Transformation .   This THIS is what I learned from Hermann Hesse and SUPERIOR Others .   

                                   My Mentor the Great and Wise Groucho Marx delivers this :

                                          

                                  "Is that 3 quotes ?   Well put in another and make it a gallon."

... a morning of Mourning ...

                                                           I got settled into "Chairy-Chair" at 5:30 a.m. and have been "the Thinker" for over three hours with 'nothing' to "show" for it .   I'm writing now because of a "Fail Safe" Mechanism I employ to relieve my own chagrin (mortification) at my lack of a topic and "First Sentence" .   When a "First Sentence does not 'arrive' after a couple of hours, and I feel I MUST put-uP SOMETHING on the screen I most often resort to simply transcribing relevant quotes that I think would benefit my Gentle Readers .   I am reticent to write about myself, who the fuck wants to read about an old man's ----------> struggles ?    

                         This morning is "One of  >THOSE<  Mornings" , a morning of Mourning  at the Global Loss of   >>>HUMAN<<<  "Goodness" and Humankind's UNWILLINGNESS to Effect Repairs and Re-align CORRECT   >>HUMAN<<  Values with Evolution's Trajectory .   It would behoove us to remember Darwin's Declaration, that Species Evolve ALWAYS toward a SUPERIOR Existence---Inferior 'characteristics' are ALWAYS abandoned in favor of the SUPERIOR .   So it is and so it MUST be with regard to Human Governments .   Evolution DEMANDS >>>>FAVORABLE<<<< Change and Transformations, those that can ENSURE  Continuity of the Species .   We do NOT have to "look far" to see that, presently, Humankind is being FORCED to endure the Superiority of INFERIORITY -- the Wars in Ukraine , Gaza, Lebanon and Iran .   All of which were MAN MADE .

Successful Raunch

                                                           Trump could order an immediate Retreat and END the War IN SECONDS .    We know full well >>  THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN !   Even if there was  a miracle and trump DID order such a retreat what is he leaving behind ?   He leaves behind an EMPOWERED and FANATICAL Muslim Regime that now has a STRANGLE-HOLD on the Strait of Hormus which can be exercised to COMMAND >>>>GLOBAL TRIBUTE<<<< and NOT just a Toll for tanker and vessel movement .   

                           The entire PLANET would be subject to IRANIAN RULES --- at that Point what can the EU Do ???  What can ANYONE Do ???

                            It's a fucking LEAP to even SUGGEST that Iran is a VICTIM here, but Polemics allows me that Leap .   Iran was INVADED same as Ukraine, in this, trump IS NO DIFFERENT FROM PUTIN, but we already know that .   Look at what the WORLD did when putin invaded Ukraine, did NATO "Step up"(?) which certainly WOULD HAVE STOPPED PUTIN IN HIS TRACKS --- but DID they ?    No,,, they did not .    It was left to the EU, who was already handcuffed and shackled by putin's oil supply, to send AMERICAN WEAPONRY to Ukraine to aid in its Defense but it was like applying a Band-Aid to a bleeding artery .    In Ukraine its ALMOST a Stalemate , but not quite .  

                           There ain't-gonna be no World War against Iran, but can there be WORLD PROTEST OF TRUMP ????   

                            I have a "War Cry"   DOWN WITH THE UGLY AMERICANS .   

                            American should be ASHAMED of their PATHETIC Protests but sadly, they are NOT .

"Pressure Sensitive"

                                                           In the same way that joe "ain't-gonna" beat any Sense into trump, so it is with the presidents and prime ministers of the E.U.   They have claimed, "This ain't our War" and DEFINTIELY >that< is TRUTH .   It must be noted that PUTIN is the Source of EU Oil  and that HE supplies the EU with MOST of the petroleum that flows from RUSSIA  THROUGH UKRAINE -----and to Anger putin is to THREATEN their (get this) "Daily Bread" .   NO ONE has "beaten" any Sense into putin and it is unlikely that ANY ONE will even ATTEMPT to "beat some Sense" into trump .   It is as if "Beating" has been beaten  .

                           Despite the  North Vietnamese POUNDING Iran has endured, like  North Vietnam, Iran has Persevered and now "holds" what appears to be a "Winning Hand" .   Trump on the OTHER Hand holds "Aces and Eights" .

                           It's a "STALEMATE", Chess parlance for, "If any one moves, they will be defeated".  

                           The Question then becomes = Who can "hold-out" the longest?" .

                           The Peoples of Iran are being held hostage by their own Government which will KILL any and all Protesters .    What about the Peoples of America ?

                           Mass Protests have signaled that SOME Americans are WILLING to "Fight" but the MAJORITY of Americans prefer to whine and cry rather than "take it to the streets",,, most notably COLLEGE STUDENTS .   I viciously DEPLORE their self-indulgent  Inaction --- I find them NO DIFFERENT from the once-republicans in congress who EXCELL at Cowardly Conduct .

                          Can SENSE be 'beaten' into THEM ???    

                          How can we get them to "Come to their Senses" ?   Is it even Possible ?????

Not "Truth be told" but Truth be SOLD

                                                          Yesterday we were informed that >Pod-caster< Joe Rogan made a call to trump to support the use of LSD and other hallucinogens in Medical Research and Practice .  It took BARELY one day for trump to acknowledge joe's request and sign an EO to establish such Research and Practice .    Many of us were fucking DUMBSTRUCK, {struck by DUMB} and this "incident" begs for this syllogism :   "If joe can ask to legalize LSD, then why can't he ask trump to RESIGN ?" .   Even on its FACE the syllogism appears ABSURD if not flat-out PREPOSTEROUS .   Joe has been shocked by trump's FAILURE to "Keep his word" on Domestic Problem Solving and Foreign Policy, but that Shock has NOT been transferred to Contempt nor a halcyon CALL for trump's Removal .   Is joe a "BAD Person" for NOT "stating the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth" ?   I wanna say YES, but....... .    Joe is only NORMAL, he's HUMAN just as all of us, and its HUMAN NATURE to "look out for" one's OWN .   Joe doesn't want to lose ANYTING because he "HAS IT SO GOOD",  he "WANTS FOR NOTHING" ,  and so all he must do is "tow his own line", meaning, keep his people happy by telling them WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR .  Here it is where >TRUTH< DOES NOT 'PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE' " .   

                            Joe is representative of those once republican congress folks whose main, and perhaps ONLY Objective, is to stay "in POWER" BY ANY AND ALL MEANS POSSIBLE .   Same with trump .   Truth is useless .

Know Return

                                                           I know that using 'hysteria' is, perhaps, too 'strong' and that it may even be inappropriate or worse, incorrect .   Thing is, Hysteria dissipates, meaning, Hysteria "runs its course" and, inevitably, it results in Exhaustion .   

                            There's a fabulous scene on one of the "Airplane" comedies that gets me to where I want to be .   A passenger gets "Hysterical" and is confronted by a "Do Gooder" who SLAPS him, presumably to "Beat some SENSE into him" .   Fellow passengers get in line to participate, among them a NUN !!!  It's TOOOO FUNNY and I hazard, "Hysterical".   Moderate Hysteria can be neutralized by this "Beat down", a beatdown whose objective is to RETURN the Hysterical to a SENSIBLE Reality .   I argue that trump and his CANNOT be 'returned' to a Sensible Reality because --->   "You can't make steak from hamburger"  meaning, they have "gone past the point of Return" .
