"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" .   

Muddled

                                                           I confess :   I thought I knew the Nature of  Muddle, and for the most part I do, but there remains the muddle in "the Sage seeks to muddle the Mind of the empire" and THAT muddle is muddling* .    On the surface muddle is another word for "DISTRACTION", used by trump effusively :   Propaganda IS >muddle< and "IT" has been SAVAGELY Successful .   But why would the Sage attempt this Muddle ?   Reason asserts it CAN'T-BE the Same muddle .  If not, then What ???

                                                                           *    *     *

                                 I am being called by a batch of fresh kim-chee I prepared yesterday afternoon, plus the Sun is BRILLIANT and my own Inner Children are SCREAMING for "Recess" .

                                I will work on finding a proper description for Muddle .   Please forgive an old man .

                          From Looney Tunes :    "THAT'S ALL FOLKS".

Muddle Trouble

                                                           You can see "IT" rite ?    White, non-educated folks, those who don't like to read, ACT in the same was as CHILDREN .   Children LOVE Cartoons, {AS DO I} and what better cartoon IS there than trump ?????   Parents, check that, GOOD parents, try to expose their offspring to Learning that helps identify "Good" and "Evil", Right and Wrong {Rwong},,,if this Early Learning is NOT accessed,, then, results are DISASTROUS .   Look at the american electoral Profile .   In the same way that Children are EASILY scared, so it is with trump's "adult children", both are susceptible to Lies, Deceit, gross Fiction and in Modern Times,,  PROPAGANDA .   Here it is where the father comforts his children by telling them HE will PROTECT them from MONSTERS, in Modern Instance, DEMOCRATS >>>> "I Alone Can" 'Fix' "It" ;;; I ALONE CAN PROTECT YOU BUT YOU GOTTA VOTE FOR ME .

                             I will address cartoons at a later date, but I will tease you with Truth that I consider the Characters of "Looney Tunes" manifestations of my own, PERSONAL, Psyche .   I have ISSUES !!!!

                             Ya-gotta ask,  WHY doe the Sage seek URGENTLY to muddle the Mind of the Empire ?    What is >muddle<  ???

                                                                                XLIX

                          "The Sage has no Mind .   He takes as his own the Mind of the People .

                            Those who are good, I treat as good .  In doing so, I gain in goodness.

                            Those who are of good faith. I also have faith in .  In so doing I gain in good faith .

                            The Sage in his attempt to distract the mind of the empire, seeks urgently to muddle it .

                            The people all have something to occupy their eyes and ears and

                                        the Sage treats them like children .

                  I KNOW you qids* see it ;   "...treats them like CHILDREN ".    

                                                                                *    *    *

                              I have actively sought to acquire "the Mind of the People", to be their Voice, blah, blah, blah, blah, BLAH .   I  WANT to be the "Universal Everyman" as is "Piers the Ploughman" .   I have always VALUED that the Sage "has no Mind"  because it is SOOOO  >Zen< .   But this shit on the bottom, what does Lao Tzu MEAN when he writes that the Sage "seeks URGENTLY to muddle the Mind of the Empire" .   Until now, "IT" troubled me, and Troubled me GREATLY .

                            But wait...there's more ... 

The Little Dumber Boy

                                                           Republican {trumpistanian} campaign rhetoric has reached something of a 'fever' pitch :  they have resorted to FEAR in order to "energize" the "base" [comprised primarily of non-college educated voters, mostly White] as an Effort to ensure [that] they actually Vote .   Pundits, opinionists* and the Brain-ful* have agreed that the republicans "have nothing left" on which to promote, given the desultory vacuity of trump's own speech and savagely self-serving 'policies' .   

                         In keeping with my most recent Effort to utilize "Kiddie Lit" as a scaffolding to view PROPAGANDA,,  I offer  "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" .  The original title is :  "The Shepherd Boy And The Wolf", and it's one of Aesop's Fables .  We must s---t---r---e---t---c---h our Imagination to apply it to republican' s use of FEAR and I do so via Authorial Prerogative .   

                         We know the story, it has been "ingrained" in our Collective Psych as a MEANS to keep our children from 'telling lies' for `amusement`, as did the Shepherd Boy, and to keep them "on the straight and narrow", a Path of Honesty {"Honesty is the Best Policy"} .   >"IT"< gets UGLY in Modern Times, as Paranoia, is expressed in Fear---Fear that the democrats will 'over-run' the Country and with it, the elimination of Ante-Bellum Sovereignty the South, so TREASURED by White Racists and Bigots .   

                         The Shepherd Boy PROOVED he was a LIAR, after having fooled the Villagers not once, but TWICE .   The second time was all it took for the Villagers to tag this nit-wit kid a LIAR .  Recall this :   "Fool me once shame on you, fool me TWICE SHAME ON ME" .
