"Things Fall Apart"

                                                           I WARN my Gentle Readers that what has transpired in america can transpire in YOUR Lands as well. DO NOT BELIEVE  "THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN HERE" .  America MUST BECOME the LIGHTHOUSE on the Shore of Tyranny  that Warns your Nation of "The DANGER that lies ahead".    

                              Elsewhere I have insisted that Americans are Born into "Original Sin", and I have qualified that by stating the OBVIOUS : even at its Inception what was to become America was dependent upon SLAVE LABOR and the WHOLESALE ACCEPTANCE of Slavery IS the Original Sin of Democracy.  America has NEVER been TRULY Free .   The Signature Statement of America, [that] "All Men Are Created Equal"  is a fucking LIE .   America therefore, is itself, A LIE .  The [Rhetorical] Logic is indisputable .   Nature, Herself, dictates, "All Men are NOT ---> Equal" ---all we need do is look around for verification .

                             If your Nation had the Karma to be free of Slavery at its Inception then you MAY not be subject to what transpired in america.  Still, according to Buddhist Dogma and the Science of Physics, it is KNOWN that all things are subject to the Absolute Four :  "Arising, Stability, Decline, Dissolution" .   Nations and Empires CANNOT escape that punishing Exactitude .

                             The GREAT Nigerian Author, Chinua Achebe, says it so that ALL OF US can Understand :

                                                               THINGS FALL APART .

Orwell

                                                           There's an 'expression' I will examine, it is :  "That will never happen here", and even more precisely, "That will never happen".   

                            In Junior High School we had to read Orwell's Animal Farm .  That was 7th Grade mandatory reading and in 8th Grade most of us had taken "IT" upon ourselves to read his (Orwell) 1984 .  I can say with ease that WE WERE SCARED SHITLESS, but this FEAR was somewhat mitigated~~~~~ that our Country --AMERICA-- would NEVER allow Communism to get even ONE 'foothold' in the American Political System.  We took REFUGE in that BELIEF .  We TRUSTED America and its politicians some of whom were Worthy enough to be tagged ---> Statesmen......so when trump ran for President, WE BELIEVED that "America" would NEVER elect such a cad, such a cur, such a DOLT ! He had NO political training   WHATSOEVER   and `that` alone should have disqualified him from   ANY serious Consideration .  

                             Look what happened ............ .

Martian Ears

                                                           Trump has managed to 'weaponize' --->  hypocrisy .  In the Before Time, trump ravaged Obama for setting out the Red Carpet for "dignitaries" who decried Democracy, now look at what HE did for both putin and xi .   The RED Carpet for the RED of Communism .   Xi's ass has hickeys on it .

                             In HIS "LOVE ME"  POLITICAL AD, trump vowed that america would NEVER `become` Communist and yet... and YET ... .   The Media has BELLOWED --->   WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS ??????? !!!!!    Nowhere to be seen, nowhere to be heard, nowhere TO BE QUESTIONED .    They are as French and German BOOT LICKERS in WWII --  content with the WAR so long as THEY remain Free to Live as they please, of course at OTHERS Expense, where >expense< is code for SUFFERING .   

                             I NEED you folks to look "into the Abyss" .   All NATO had to do was ACCEPT Ukraine into its 'fold'. THAT would have stopped putin COLD !   In that exact same way, all republicans had to do was band together, literally DO THEIR JOB,  and THAT would have stopped trump COLD !  "IT" didn't happen .  Was NATO too >>>CHICKEN SHIT<<<, are the republicans TOO >>>CHICKEN SHIT <<< ?   You can hear the clucks from fucking MARS  .  

Tri-Axis of Evil

                                                          I thought I could forego any mention of trump's reception of xi .  I thought I could find something else for today's Consideration .  I thought I could use the STORM currently being experienced by those of us in the American North-East as a TRUE Obstacle that PREVENTS any commentary whatsoever ............. .

                              I had a fitful night, I awoke at various moments expecting to hear BIBLICAL DELUGE and instead heard the WINDS literally trying to RIP the leaves from trees, and LASHING all that stood .   Where was the Rain I DREADED ????   

                              I wanted to break my own Rules, the first of which, "Don't step over dollar to pick up a dime" .  Translation :  DON'T IGNORE THE OBVIOUS {that which is of superior Value} .

                              The Code of AA inflicts this, "You can't call a man an Alcoholic until he himself admits that, yes, I am .  In this, you can't call a Country a Dictatorship until it admits it is .

                             I WISH I could speak for every American, obviously, I cannot, but I CAN speak for myself and perhaps others like me, those of my "ilk" .

                             I have vehemently stated, not only is trump "The FACE of america"  he  IS   america .  Trump has "turned" america from communism HATING to Communism LOVING .   Now there is a Tri-Axis of EVIL ;  china, russia, and america .  

                                                                   TRUMP WON .

"...defenses against folly..."

                                                           I haven't been able to find a positive conclusion for this morning's Effort, but I haven't looked that hard either .   What follows has been by the side of this machine for a couple of days, maybe it will satisfy .

                                           "When the war had widened its gap, not between nobles and commons, nor between rich and poor, but between the commercial and industrial class, which prospered, and the agricultural which suffered :  and when the city had as leaders  not the far-sighted and independent Pericles, but men of less wisdom and meaner spirit, more disposed to foment and exploit than to restrain outbursts of popular emotion, then these defenses against folly were not strong enough ."

                    The "defenses against folly" are not today's topic and require much more time to articulate.  but here, you can see the parallel .   The above passage is from the chapter, "The Greeks At War" found in Kitto's THE GREEKS .

                                                                 {As best you can}

                                                      Tare Forward and Keep the Faith

"Meanwhile, back at the raunch..."

                                                           American democrats are flailing and thrashing about in a pool of Anti-trump revulsion, they don't know what to do or what to say to the American Electorate to convince them to vote for DEMOCRATS other than "DO YOU BELIEVE THIS FUCKING SHIT ??? "    The American Media Outlets,  specifically NEWS Outlets,  have joined together to boycott trump .   "IT" 's something .  BUT when will those news outlets finally 'get around' to asking democrats for a fucking PLAN OF ACTION ?   At what time will reporters ask democrats  WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GONNA DEMAND THAT THE GOV RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE, and not by a little, but by enough so that it becomes a LIVING WAGE ???    In the Olden Days of Yesteryear [the 70's] we would bemoan the FACT that the Minimum Wage was a SLAVE WAGE , that it was IMPOSSIBLE to advance in Life because "IT" was a --->  SUBSTISTENCE wage INCAPABLE of supplying ANY "liquid capital" .   

                            Further,  when are the news people gonna ask "DO YOU HAVE A PLAN TO TAX THE RICH AND FORCE THEM TO PAY WHAT WE PAY  IN TAXES ????  

                            The PEOPLE have a LIST yet the democrats are listless .
