Miss Stroke

                                                          Earlier I was writing about why folks lie, specific to american politics and the consequence of those lies with regard to polling and further down the road, the Mid-term Election .    I had half a screen lit up when, for some COSMIC reason or another, I hit a key or keys that deleted the entire blog, which then caused me to "tail spin" out of control .   I didn't recover, ---  I went outdoors to Zen Walk to regain my Center and figure out what the fuck had just happened .   Clearly the Universe saw fit to alter my trajectory :  tagging folks as Liars, Cheats, Scoundrels and Scalawags, dose nothing save to express anger, and dystrust* , somethings* unacceptable to Scholarship .   Name calling breaks all my Rules .   

                          When I returned to the Cave "IT" arrived :  I was SCARED .

                           I was Scared that the elections would not be  ---> Transformative, meaning, the democrats could win, but the margin would be so slim, that NOTHING would Change and Nothing COULD-BE Changed .   Labeling folks LIARS is an effort to protect myself from the abominable  DISAPPOINTMENT that america would remain in open cesspool of Corruption, Lies, and Deceit that has already manifested as trump's WAR .  

                          

Pharaoh's Legacy

                                                           Yesterday I spent NO 'Time' thinking abut this morning's topic {consideration} even after Fareed Zacharia's program some of which was devoted to Israel and the Quasi "EXTINCTION EVENT" of Palestinians, that is, Gazans and 'Bankers' .   Some say there is HOPE [I HATE HOPE] that the Ruling Sanhedrin of Israel [the Knesset] will "come to their Senses" and vote AGAINST netanyahu and his  SLAUGHTER MACNINE otherwise referred to as the IDF .   Israel has been  ||| divi  ded |||  just as america with support for a Solution to the Palestinian Problem that does NOT involve handing over Territories that would become the Nation of Palestine, and those who simply Demand the above mentioned EXTINCTION EVENT as the way to eliminate hamas at the expense of Innocents .   Is this Election to be a harbinger of things to come in america ?   

                            Most will argue that HAMAS will never be eliminated as long as iran has money and WILL .   Here  it is where the Civilian Populations of Iran, Israel, America, Saudi Arabia, and the majority of Arabic Speaking and Muslim Orientation DO NOT HAVE ANY POWER WHATSOEVER .   Those presently in POWER consider the Human Population of Innocents as >>>>>>> EXPENDABLE .   If the People "die off" due to governmental policies, so be it .  Those in POWER will always have their needs met, for the most part, with LAVISH construction .    

                                                   "Of what need do the poor have for food ?"     

Balance

                                                           In the Same Way that we don't get better by playing individuals and teams that have inferior [less developed} skills than we, so it is with Scholarship as well .   If we are to 'advance' our Understanding(s), then we must read materials that are "over our heads" .   Reading such Material is a fucking CHALLENGE but we MUST resign ourselves to undertake this Challenge as  means of Self-Development, especially those of us who seek Planetary {Cosmic} Consciousness .   In my Senior years I have taken to find Balance in my reading .  Presently I am wading {trudging, slogging} through Adam Smith's   THE WEALTH OF NATIONS,,, I can do so because I managed the same kind of slog with Thomas Piketty's CAPITAL .   It's not that I HATE Economics, it's just that I don't like it because I SUCK at it .   It's weird because I didn't find THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO a trudge at all .   I FORCE myself to read at least for half an hour before I get to my (True) Love, Kiddie Lit and Aesop's Fables .   "A spoonful of sugar help the medicine go down" . 

                             If you DO undertake the Reading of HAMLET'S MILL it mite* behoove you to read some Myths for balance .   

"Hamlet's Mill"

                                                            It may be that I have inadvertently offended my Gentle Readers by suggesting they enter the Realm of Children's Literature ("Kiddie Lit") .   If so, I apologize .   Every tribe, every hamlet, every village has their own Stories of Creation, [Myths] as well as Stories, Fables and Tales that supply their offspring with the Values, Morals, Mores and Ethos that is the foundation of their own Social Reality, hence my desire to communicate a ONE-NESS of Global Civilization .   It occurred to me yesterday afternoon, that Folks consider Kiddie Lit somehow 'beneath' them, and I understand that ;   to these Folks I offer the Study of Myth(s) because Myths supply those Very Same but for an Adult Appetite .    

                               Dr. Joseph Campbell is considered the PRE-EMMINENT SCHOLAR of Mythology and I  STRONGLY Recommend the following :   THE MASKS OF GOD   ORIENTAL MYTHOLOGY ;  THE MASKS OF GOD   CREATIVE MYTHOLOGY ;   THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES .   However, there is one text that is at the Apex of the Study of Myth and it is :   HAMLET'S MILL  AN ESSAY INVESTIGATING THE ORIGINS OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE AND ITS TRANSMISSION THROUGH MYTH .    It is written by Giorgio De Santillana and Hertha von Dechend .   "IT", the Text, is of INESTIMABLE  Value .   

                               This from the back cover :   "Drawing on scientific data, historical and literary sources, the authors argue that our myths are the remains of a preliterate astronomy, an exacting science whose poser and accuracy were suppressed and then forgotten by an emergent Greco-Roman world view .  This fascinating book throws into doubt the self-congratulatory assumptions of Western science about the unfolding development and transmission of knowledge .  This is a truly seminal and original thesis, a book that should be read by anyone interested in science, myth, and the interactions between the two ."

                             This TEXT aint for the squeamish , it is DAUNTING .

"MARS ATTACKS"

                                                           Elsewhere I have presented my ability to read Minds .    Trump's Mind can be viewed as :   "See Spot.  /  See Spot run.  /  Run Spot, Run.  /  Spot runs fast ."   Musk's mind presents something more different but not more difficult .   Musk is a "Sci-Fi" guy .  

                          When we 'see' trump, we see a guy who wants to annex Canada, Greenland, and for now, Venezuela .   I contend that musk is no different, with regard to america, and now Ukraine .   I view trump as a Modern Day Genghis Khan 'set' on CONSOLIDATING vast Territories in order to PLUNDER those Territories =  trump for PERSONAL GAIN and musk to bank-roll his COLONIZATION OF MARS .   Putin is set to CONQUER Ukraine in an Effort to restore his beloved SOVIET UNION and is obviously willing to GIVE some of Ukraine's Resources to trump and his in exchange for "Unity of Form and Function" which includes 'Rare Earth Minerals, and Ukraine's "Bread Basket" which feeds almost ALL of Africa .   

                         Musk is holding Ukraine HOSTAGE , so is trump for that matter but on a lesser degree .   Musk NEEDS putin in order to secure the Rare Earth Minerals he needs for Space "Occupation" .   We ask, Why doesn't he just BARGAIN with Zelensky ?"  Ya gotta figure that "IT" would cost musk money, whereas putin mite* just hand-over Rights AT NO COST --- simple capitalist arithmetic .   

                         UGLY gets us there .

musk

                                                           As an american I have no 'rite'* to denounce France and its government .  Recall the Spanish proverb =  "pot calling the kettle black" [from Cervantes' DON QUIXOTE ] .   Trumpistan has LITERALLY taken "Food out of the mouths of BABIES" in order to secure for the EXTREMELY WEALTHY monies they couldn't spend in 10 fucking THOUSAND  lifetimes .    The adjective CRUEL doe not even approach the lethal toxicity of such an IN-HUMAN ATROCITY .   And yet...there "IT" is .   

                       French 'citoyen' (s)  have every RITE to REVOLT, as do american Citizens who are poised to upend trump and trumpism in the upcoming Mid-Term Elections .   

                        You look at trump and see that ONE MAN can set the World to WAR~~~ now there is ANOTHER "ONE MAN" who has an entire NATION LITERALLY at his 'push-button' fingertip, and that is elon musk .   Hitler was 'ONE MAN", trump is 'ONE MAN' and now musk who is also 'ONE MAN' .   

                        We can only shake our heads in ASTONISHMENT, BEWILDERMENT, AND SORDID INCOMPREHENSION .    

                         Musk's CONTROL of Ukrainian Air Defenses --- anyone see THAT coming ???

"Worlds In Collision"

                                                           It's almost impossible to write about anything .  There's so much shit happening ~~~ the World at WAR---- .    Aggressions on the Saudi Arabian Peninsula, Gaza, Lebanon, and of course the WAR in Ukraine where ONE "american" is single-handedly PREVENTING Ukraine from defending its Self :  and then there are the Street Wars in France , where STUDENTS have taken "IT" to the Streets in a UNIFIED REVOLT against what most consider GOVERNMENTAL MALFEASANCE .   

                           This past Sunday Fareed Zacharia did a segment on France, and showed photos taken inside many of the schools .   Decrepit gets us there, and since we are already THERE, let's add dilapidated as well .   There are stories of leaky roofs, crumbling ceilings, and decayed pipes leaking everywhere .   Meanwhile, the government is considered by Most to be a "bloated bureaucracy" unable to sustain its obligations to the Retired, and therefore unable to supply desperately needed funds to repair age-related degeneracy in the Schools .   The French Debt Level is 'through the roof' , largely due to the government's insistence NOT to TAX its millionaire-billionaire "bourgeoise" .   

                         Americans are turning away from trump, or so the Propagandists would have them believe .    Reporters on the Street have interviewed  Street Level americans, and MANY still SUPPORT TRUMP, and will probably do so until either they die or trump "bites the dust" .
