Democracy's Foundation ---> "All men are created equal" is a LIE .
Folks have bemoaned, "When will it end ?" When will trump and his reach 'the bottom wherein CHANGE is precipitated ? This This is to manufacture an 'end' or 'bottom' THAT DOES NOT EXIST . In Reality trump is a man lost in Space where, by definition, there can be no bottom nor an end . Yet democraps* remain stubbornly insistent that there IS an end/bottom and once that end is reached , Change is assured . Bullshit---fucking bullshit .
Similar question can be applied to rats* who wait blindly for the End to be reached . They continue to Wait while claiming that their DO NOTHING guardianship is achieving Transformational Aegis when in ACTUALITY their "Waiting" is the EPITOME of egregious Passivity . The rats exhaust themselves by trying to find NOTHING-TO-DO . Here it is where IT MAKES NO SENSE to ask, Why .
Trump calls putin, within minutes putin attacks Kiev, within a few seconds more musk and trump "go at it" in 3rd Grade "fashion" . The media did NOT cover putin's attack save for a few words cowardly expressed as, "Poor me, poor poor pitiful me" .
I contend that their 'break-up' was, in Fact, a PLOY to divert attention AWAY from putin's ASSault and the trump Call that precipitated his Attack . Did the Bigs and SUPER-BIGS hazzard to address the Call and its Result ??? Nope --- not a one . Instead they dilly-dallied around the 'break-up' as if it had WORLD Ramifications, choosing to regard the {make-believe} Romance as some inevitable outcome given the Psyches of both .
How does that song go ? ---> "You can't have one, you can't have one, without the OTH---ER."
"Let's call a spade, a spade ." Correct identification is, perhaps, an essential ingredient {if ingredient is also correct} of Reality . Here now, "If it 'walks' like a duck, if it 'talks' like a duck and [indeed] if it LOOKS like a duck then it should be designated as a DUCK " -- is the essence of COMMON SENSE validation . If the Physical OBVIOUS , is cast aside, then That is a symptom of Delusion at its most horrific posture . So it is within the vast majority of congre$$ . So it is within the media outlets who ALSO refuse to identify trump as a Hitlerian "wanna be" . The media is at the HEIGHT of >>>Misinformation<<< when it fails to tag or label trump as a Fascist Dictator .
If congre$$ and the media are saturated by Delusion and the WILLING acceptance of this Delusion as VERIFIABLE Truth, then the American Public is getting RIPPED {fucking} OFF .
It is VIOLENTLY Excruciating that we are PAYING these fucking assholes TO RIP US OFF .
You can't make this shit UP .
Disenfranchised Veterans have openly stated : "Trump has DECLARED WAR" on Veterans for the FIRST Time in AMERICAN HISTORY . Vets have used >>WAR<< to describe trump's VICIOUS Attack on the V.A. . With This is Mind, how is it that the congress REFUSES to acknowledge this War on the V.A. by accepting >WAR< as the proper designation of trump's Hitlerian Agenda ??? I mean FUCK,,,we KNOW the answer .
The steadfast and immutable REJECTION of existing Conditions, and the infuriating REFUSAL to Realize {Real Eyes} WAR as THE (Weaponized) Vehicle for the trump Campaign , is as close to the pure definition of Delusion that can be reached . Congress is ENTIRELY composed of millionaires and multi-millionaires whose Primary Interest is their own personal retention of ALL the PERKS and Privileges of Federal Employment . It is in their WORST Interest to actually perform the Duties and Obligations of their Office , indeed, by doing so, they jeopardize the Safety of themselves and their families .
I've stated elsewhere : Trump WON and he won BIGLY .
Trump calls putin and next day putin attacks Kiev in one of the BOLDEST bombings of the entire War to date . YOU GOTTA FIGURE THAT TRUMP PROMISED THERE WOULD BE NO U.S. INTERFERENCE NOR FURTHER SANCTIONS = the so-called "GREEN LIGHT" . Putin cood and can claim Retaliation for Ukraine's deep advance onto Russian Soil, the successful bombardment of Russian warplanes, but I wood NOT accept THAT as Truth .
Putin "wants it all" and promising trump a few hods of Rare Earth is enough for trump .
Folks wanna believe that there WILL be Elections whose results will somehow neutralize trump and trumpism, and {somehow} restore the Status Quo in such a manner that democracy, in all its FRAILTY,, will, once again, become [Old School] recognizable . This >> belief<< is fucking DELUSION (((at its zenith))) . This Delusion has caused a Blindness to existing Conditions .
THERE AIN'T GONNA BE NO FUCKING ELECTIONS !!!
TRUMP'S >>> Goal<<< IS TO DECLARE MARTIAL LAW !!!!
Trump's Plan, is to WRECK democracy in ALL its Forms and Manifestations and once the Destruction has laid WASTE to all In and out stitutions* he will declare Martial Law in order to bring Control to the Land which will then bring PROOF, that he and he alone "Can Fix It" .
Genius, I say, DIABOLICAL Genius .
I enjoin my Readers to "decompress" each day with Music and of you have them, Lava Lamps . I shyte you not . Perhaps one CD may "do the trick" but as the movie title reads , "Once Is Not Enough" . The Venerable Zen Master Seung Sahn issued, "Put it all down, put it all down, put EVERYTHING d
o
w
n . "
DON'T go to a "trough and brew" to manhandle Despondency by trying to "drown your Sorrows" in liquid-faction . GO HOME, visit with Mary Jane and let HER be your Nurse .
I have allowed my Mind to access 70's Music bc as with comfort food there is comfort Music {according to The Gospel of Steve} . Even on a 'good' day I sometimes tap the Doobie Brothers' "Natural Thing" to guarantee I reinforce "We all need to be Loved" . On some of the WORST days I resort to Steve Miller's "Anthology" to reset Calibration [of Trajectory] and sextant [from the transitive verb >>> To Sextant] Orientation . Where's there's comfort {SOMETIMES} there is Peace .
Still and all, I find the DEEPEST Benefit in performing the crudest of Manual Labor, a "thing" for which Mind takes a "back-seat" and here it is where, SOMETIMES, all you need is a STRONG BACK and a weak Mind in order to achieve {get this} Fulfillment on the most ordinary of {performative} Rituals. I champion the Concept that "All tasks are Meditative Rituals" . But I digress ... .
Music is Medicine = Music Heals .
I have bemoaned my inability if [find-discover-locate] a Zen that aids the Modern Mind in Its Necessity to have access to Relief, Re-Vision, and Rectitude . I used >inability< where, perhaps, >slothful recidivism< may be far more appropriate . I asked: Is there a Zen which can aid [the Mind] and protect it from LETHAL Sensory Bombardments ? "Great Faith" DEMANDS that I BELIEVE that there IZ such Aid and Protection that can be supplied by Devotion to the Teaching ~~~ and yet I struggle ~~~~ and yes, I struggle GREATLY .
During the height of Nazi Terrorism in Germany, one of my HEROES, Richard Wilhelm, delivered the now FAMOUS, "8 Lectures on the I Ching" . He defended this Effort by stating that, although the World was being shredded by HATE and FEAR, it was of universal BENEFIT to direct the Mind toward Academic Profundity in that the I Ching cood be used to Interpret Reality in such a way as to relax the Psyche that it may find VIABLE Resistance to the Onslaught of Barbaric {SAVAGE} Brutality . Here now a "DIFFERENCE" in 'Focus' but one SIMILAR, in Intent . Clearly, there was a NEED for Relief from Reality, but done in such a way as to begin to Repair the Mind via Academic Reference .
I WANT to figure it this way [by using this syllogism] : If Salinger and Wilhelm can find Justification by means of Academic Fortitude, then I shood* >feel< the same way ~~~ does that make sense ? I mean, it shood* .
I have oft touted the POWER of "The Instinct for Self-Preservation" -- it is something of DIVINE Power since its goal is the continuation of whatever DNA strands the "host" has inherited . In Salinger's instance; great fucking WRITING genes . {{{I should rwite, >> Gifted<< ,, `and then some` . }}}
We must not fail to recognize that Salinger's Focus is a MANIFESTATION of "The Instinct for Self-Preservation" . Salinger, CLEARLY, was not ready to "...go gently into that good night". No and FUCK NO : he chose, instead, >>> LIFE<<< , and in so doing relied upon his Writing Vision, to support and maintain his indomitable WILL to SURVIVE that he may conclude his Work under entirely OPPOSITE Conditions .
It may be stated that the Instinct actually ignited his Focus--- that Instinct was responsible for him to access his {dare I say} LOVE for Life VIA the Written Word . Writing as LIFE --- anyone see THAT coming ???? Not me, that's for sure .
It has been reported that the way J.D. Salinger survived the trench-horror of WWII was by keeping his focus on plots and characters in a book he was writing . I mean, there's "something to that" if we use his Experience as "telling" . {{{God I LOVE that word in that particular instance}}} . Ya-gotta figure that by focusing on his book that IT afforded him some measure of ((( ))) . We know the outcomes of his "Focus-as-Survival Mechanism" . Sadly, most of us are NOT J.D. Salinger .
I find no Relief from this bit . Every morning I think about rwiting, Spring has made demands on my body, MERCIFUL demands, in that my Focus, such as it is, finds solitude and solace within the actions of simple property maintenance , a L--O--N--G way from the torture and tumult of govern-MENTAL [Psychological] Warfare . I have no insight, which, oddly, IZ a Relief, since MANY of the BIGGEST SUPER-Brains are struggling as well, my guy David Frum is just one example . He's spoken that trump finds Happiness and Joy from his ill-legal manifestations of his inmost psychological characteristics . This sort of psychological profiling is IMPERATIVE if trump is to be countered or neutralized or even obstructed . Thing is, where are the REAL Psychiatrists and Psychologists and WHY haven't they raised similar aggressions* ???
"ANYONE can become President of the United States" is both True and False but here it is where Truth and Falsity are NOT "on the same level". We were taught that Anybody cood be Pres but History {Experience} has PROVEN that not all folks are psychologically suited for the Job .
I BELIEVE >it<'s a genetic FLAW in Democracy that DEFENDS both stupidity and mental incompetence in such a way as to ADVANTAGE minority viewpoints with regard to governmental Reality . We have been ACUTELY aware that Ignorance CAN BE WEAPONIZED against Common Sense, Logic and Higher Order Reasoning . Democracy's rather INSANE Desire to "Hold" that "All folks are created Equal" is religiously BLASPHEMOUS when applied to the American Electorate and the American population for that matter . "
Folks are NOT "Created Equal" a fucking four year old cood understand that .
You can see it rite ? America is foundationed upon LIES .
Once Truth is sufficiently devalued, it becomes easier to detach it from one's connection to Reality , that is to say, once Truth is identified as a cause of desire or of craving {for whatever Right or Rwong that is presented} it becomes easier to move forward to an appropriate attitude for correct {proper} appreciation . {I use appreciation instead of Understanding because most often (it) does NOT require Understanding to function within Reality . {{{ It's like driving a car, you don't need to know the Truth of the Physics to operate it .}}} Once you get to "It just IZ" you can leave (it) at that, meaning you can "put it down" and leave it down, which then frees your Mind to advance along more productive Thinking .
I'm-gonna leave you with a gag : "When it comes to Honesty, let's leave Truth out of it ."
Rock Steady........Steady az She goze ... .
My EYES 'tell' me the apple and peach are NOT Equal as does my Touch and my Smell --- it is only my MIND which CONTRADICTS its own Senses to insist that these two OBVIOUSLY UNEQUAL ITEMS are in fact {in Truth} Equal . You fuckin' can't miss it .
I hadta* force myself into suspending my belief that Arithmetic and Mathematics were manifestations of Truth . I fail to want to understand that one pickle, one apple and one toadstool are Equal . I know I know RIDICULOUS but you can SEE the point --- "ON THE SURFACE" they cannot be Equal , you can see it rite ???
I've resorted to a discrimination that relies on what useta* be "Is-ness" which I support with "1 + 1 IS 2, and 2 + 2 IS 4 : but I need to modify [or alter] that > IS < to IZ making 'it' IZ-Ness . Look at this : the Truth >>>is<<< just as it >>>is<<< . Here now, Truth IS >>>IZ<<< . 'It' can't be more visible . I only wish that I cood see 'it' . IZ-Ness was favored by introducers* of Zen, since IZ-Ness is parallel to Buddha's word for Reality >>>> "Suchness" . You can see this easily enough--- Reality IS >>>> IZ-Ness . Things are just as they are . "The grass is green in Summer, brown in Winter . The Truth IZ !!!!!!!!!!
It can be said {and I'm-gonna say it} that the Georgia Guidestones are a perfect manifestation of trump and trumpism's Agenda . "THEY" want to cull the heard of political Deformists*, the Weak, the Old, the infirm, the Sick, the Poor, the Stupid so that the FILTHY Rich can "have more" . We know this because we have been taught that if you share YOU WILL HAVE LESS FOR YOURSELF . The FILTHY Rich WANT IT ALL FOR THEMSELVES . Truth hurts, Truth Kills .
From "Bill" of Rights to BILK of Rights didn't take very long-- probably the span [of time] between Election and the Swearing In . Apparently folks weren't just complacent--they actually WELCOMED the relief from Truth as auspicious and perhaps venerable . Here I need to code Truth as Reality . Folks WELCOMED the nu Reality - a seemingly UNCONDITIONED Love for Falsity and Obscurity, because it supplied the Mental Food for maintaining a non-Democracy appetite, an Appetite for Hitlarian Totality . We KNOW that History repeats itself BECAUSE the Study of History has been ignored, or considered insignificant and therefor irrelevant .
It seems appropriate that Ben Franklin devised, "Honesty is the best policy", he's probably an Ancient Alien gone Star Trek .
For my money, "Honesty is the best policy" is an inside joke within which the White House revels . How the fuck can you blame them for such steadfast political flamboyancy ??? OBVIOUSLY the joke ISN'T "on them" -- nope---the joke is on us .
I've rwitten elsewhere : Truth Kills . A man is accused of a murder which he DID commit . When asked he LIES----if he were to tell the Truth he would be summarily imprisoned perhaps on Death Road ---- Truth here is DEADLY, Only Lies and Deceit can be counted on to prolong life . Truth means Death -- Lies mean Life .
I was 'workin'-on' Truth, trying to determine whether or not it had a "Self-Nature" which wood then give it it some sort of universality, identifying it as a(n) {Qosmiq} "Absolute" , which cood* serve as an "Anchor" of Consciousness . I mean, it's old...it found Fame as part of the Big Three from the now almost extinct TV Series, "Superman", that proclaimed, "Truth, Justice, and the American Way" as the Foundation of Principles adhered to by an "Alien" from another Planet, brought up by a Farm Couple in the Mid-West . I mean it this way : Truth and Justice APPEAR to be viably Noble, yet present political conditions summarily REJECT Truth as viably sustainable . {Please forgive the redundancy, I just like the rhythm produced when the 2 words are read .} The civilizations of Earth have PROVEN that Truth is UN-necessary for day-to-day operations --- look at Athens and Rome ~~~ gone forever because of very Nature of Democracy .
You don't need Truth to live ,,,, and it's safe to rwite we probably NEVER needed Truth --- go figure .
I'm "back".
It's somewhat interesting that I hafta* go to Mars in order to get my >Bearings< on Earth . I needed the Silence and the Solitude which fertilize Thinking .
New Bearings, a nu* Orientation ... . Who wood* have believed that " America " is now being transformed into a Hitlarian { hit-lare-ee-n } Actuality with migrant Spanish Speakers as the nu Jew .
"Horror upon Horror" the gateway to the manifold Sufferings .
I reach a state of staled* exhaustion = the inability to discern some sort of program that will provide relief from turbulence, tumult, and temerity . Providing Relief is the short end of it, the long being the "Long Game" of Futural* {Future as adjective} [political] Teleology .
Relief wood* come in the form of Solutions, Resolvements* {Resolve as noun} and some nu* form of Analysis whose foundation is the NEEDS of We the People that MUST be confronted NOW before trumpism finds shadow in Orwells' 1984 . This THIS is where it all HURTS = to understand that many Americans have NOT read, either Animal Farm, nor 1984 . Trumpism IS "Big Brother" = the Over-See 'I' {Eye} that monitors its citizens and Rules through Fear, and the Love of Chaos . It's simple, really, if you ain't MAGA you are shit ---> period ( . ) I may just as well have used 'enemy' instead of 'MAGA' . Trump has declared WAR on TRUTH and its myriad manifestations .
Moving Rock on Mars is EXACTLY the same as Moving Rock on Mars except that it is COMPLETELY different . I tell you point blank , I NEED THAT DIFFERENCE .
I get to Mars by passing through a "Worm Hole" which is activated when I almost trip over a Maple tree surface root which has grown on the path to the She Shed . It's as if I've been FORCED to Mars via Martian Intelligence for what reason, I don't know .
They like me on Mars because I am NOT an Idiot .
I've been on Mars -----it's a "good" place to be because Earth is so fucking fucked, fucking up . I KNOW that "if you are not part of the solution you ARE the problem" but I gotta tell yiz* it's tough to even FIND the Energy to withstand the onslaught of Cruelty let alone find a Solution to a man and government INTENT upon the demise and dissolution of what use-to-be a Constitutional Republic . It ain't just a Patriot thing, [I]t's trying to survive with some sort of optimism that TRULY acknowledges the open cesspool within which we now live ~~~~ a tough role for Optimism-- an even tougher role for Us . ..................and so I go to Mars .
I confess : it's all Fear, Loathing and Dread --- I useta* have the guts to watch "Morning Joe" but even that has evaporated like steam from pot . EVERYTHING I Feared would happen HAS HAPPENED --- all the folks who routinely complained about my seemingly tireless expression of NEGATIVITY now are experiencing that Negativity DIRECTLY . I mean, are my Fears actually harbingers of a grotesque and hideously VILE "government" ?
I've asked myself, should I now FEAR "getting" [somehow] one MILLION dollars ??
I'd fancy that .
Dr. Theodore Rubin [The Angry Book] advises us to "sublimate your rage" . You should see the property I "manage" --- It's Sublimation on STEROIDS . It's as if 2 things are battling to represent my >>self-expression<< --- Rage Sublimation versus "Work is Love made visible" . I know that this THIS is Truth --- the unremitting "conflict of interests" that marks a battered and beleaguered Mind, shrouded in Filth and Majesty of Being,,, fearful of a ---> PROJECTED Future DEVOID of Political Humanism .
It looks like it's been awhile ...I've been `moving rock` under SUPER-Spring Conditions, not only that, but my body is "coming back", meaning , I'm finally able to move about as if [as though] I am actually strong enough to muscle all the items that are required in the Rock Rigging industry .
I'm inside my 74th Orbit --- the year I "took off" along with Covid ancillaries reduced me to the BEST walking corpse--- I felt like how Andre Agassi felt when he was so shitty he had to "eat crow"and start playing matches in the "Beginner Zone" . There was one and ONLY one choice IF he waned to regain his former stature that he may compete, once again, at the highest levels . I differ slightly in that I a interest in "HY" levels . Steve Winward has sung it best : "Back in the HY Life". I'm there on that, "in Aces" .
Here's what we know : it ain't likely that Harvard iz-gonna send its version of a SEAL Team to El Salvador to effect the justisic{Justice and 'ic'} RESCUE of AMERICAN CITIZEN what's-his-name Garcia . No FAULT lies there . Should we EXPECT Harvard to begin a Campaign against trump and trumpism that leads Academia to ASSAULT trump's DICTATORSHIP ???????
Just exactly how TOUGH can Garber get ????????????
Trump Defiance versus Harvard {Garber} Defiance -- what the fuck are we looking at {here} ? If Harvard is to represent Academia then we can observe its {devotional} Commitment to ADVANCE Civilization through the ways and means of Education via the vehicles of Profession, Dissemination, and the Delivery of Knowledge and Wisdom as Manifestations {and the PROTECTION} of UNIVERSAL TRUTHS . If trump is to represent TRUMPISM then we have ALREADY experienced his DIABOLICAL Criminality and his UNREMITTING Devotion to "The All-MIGHTY Dollar . Here now the Expression of PRINCIPLES , that is, Ideas that have found Trajectory toward UTOPIA , and an Idiotology* that is DEVOID of ANY so-called Principles . Whereas the Definition of Purity can be gleaned from Garber's Harvard so it is that CORRUPTION can be tagged as Ideology --- a Something that exists and is BRANDISHED by the American Mafia .
Anyone see THAT coming ?
Go figure ..................... .
Back in the 70's UMass had Allan Garber as its Lacrosse Coach . The team had LEGENDARY status as a Team that utilized fierce body contact as its Strategy for Victory . The team hit so hard and so often they were tagged with "Garber's Gorillas" . 2 words = QOOL !
By now most of us have learned the name of the Harvard President who told trump to "GO FUCK YOURSELF" -- of course in (a) far more sophisticated Rhetoric . Sophisticated Rhetoric can do only so much -------- and them I'm figurin' to go "Gorilla" --- to use less-than-acceptable Strategies and Tactics in an Effort to thwart [neutralize is perhaps a better choice] trumpism Propaganda . I mean it this way : "Toe-to-toe" MEANS "Word-for-word" in such a manner as to MIRROR "trumpspeak" . Here it is where sympathetic News Suppliers should offer their Platforms from which "Gorillaspeak" can be broadcast . Here it is where Warrior Wallace has led the "Way" with Joan d'Arc BRILLIANCE . I KNOW that Joan was Defeated and Beheaded, we're going to stop BEFORE there is even slight risk of Defeat .... .
The word is "Defiance" -- We can laud Harvard for its Defiance but when we compare it to trump's Defiance of the scotus it simply does NOT "Compare" . In fact, both share a `superiority of unimaginable WEALTH`--- My question is simple, 'Does Harvard represent the totality of Academia ?` . We KNOW it does NOT bc of Columbia University's COMPLETE and UTTER "Cave-in" . So now we can ask, `Does Columbia represent Academia ?` To both ; Yes and No >>> at the exact same time .
There's a parallel that is somewhat disturbing = Harvard can fend-off and remain"untouched" (i.e., withstand) bc of its INFINITE Wealth much the same as EVERY SINGLE POLITICIAN in the 'house' and 'senate' . Here it is where Money both Talks and Walks to generate a formidable Protection that no common chum can afford -------- but what about the Others who CAN `afford` to Defy trump, where the fuck are THEY ??????????????? Other Colleges and Universities, law firms, the AMA, and even individuals appear to be hiding in Plain View ---yet COWERING in a scared and shivering Posture .
America = Land of the "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave "? --- more like Land of the Fear, Home of the Slave .
Harvard's ANNUAL >Endowment< EXCEEDS ---> SIXTY BILLION A YEAR . Think they can FIGHT trump ???? I think so . What about Juan and Juanita Average ? Doubtful.... .
Still,, my Heart SOARED when the Pres of Harvard "told" trump to "GO FUCK YOURSELF AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON". I'm certain the Letter did NOT utilize that "gutter" "ball" but the SENTIMENT is precise . Hail Harvard .
Were here . America is now a "full-fledged" DICTATORSHIP . Nice goin' maga . It's terrific to say that we've earned EVERYTHING we don't have bc of "...it don't effect me so why should I care ?" It ain't just one line, no and FUCK NO --- It's EVERYTHING {Political} .
[t]rump committed an AMERICAN CITIZEN to an El Salvadorian gulag [forced-labor camp] in which systematic TORTURE is the preferred "climate" for the prisoners . If trump 'gets away' with this "it opens the door" to allow trump to single-handedly* commit ANY American Citizen to said prison FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER merely bc trump has "rabbit ears", "thin skin" and "nose trouble" .
One of the most serious causes of Confederate Failure was its lack of >superior< Commanders within its military . Northern Commanders WERE >Superior< --- we KNOW they were bc of the Outcome . Here now a parallel within our Context = the rats have not even ONE >Leader< who can "take on" trump and go "toe-to-toe" . I don't give Bookers any credit --- I didn't observe SUPER-HUMAN quality in a blathering of rhetoric designed only to "kill" time -- that he may receive some sort of {dubious} Achievement Award . I don't like the guy since I learned he was beholden to BYG-Pharma . Recall this ironclad boldface : "Money talks and BULLSHIT walks." Here is its corollary = "Talk is cheap." This THIS just `makes` Booker a "Cheap {fucking} Thrill", a Thrill that fades .
His Speech was unremarkable because HE is unremarkable . Unlike Sanders, Booker "ain't got no cred" and THAT'S on HIM not US . But I digress, please forgive an old man .
I found this among my richest Quotes :
"Of what need do the poor have for food ?"
In Ancient Egypt the very wealthy ROUTINELY "Raided the Granaries". A WEALTHY woman was purported to have divulged this ABOMINATION .
I just-wanna know what's gonna happen when trump says "Fuck You" to the scotus ...what happens then ? The Courts do NOT have a police force except MAYBE the U.S. Marshals but they can be employed ONLY under SPECIFIC conditions . Not good .
They speak of >it< as a "Constitutional Crisis" but, in Truth, isn't it more appropriate to call >it< the End of America ? Ya gotta say, "Yes" .
Trump and his OWN all the policing agencies TOP TO BOTTOM ----which makes trump
The LAW .
When I was In high school [we] watched the Evening News to 'get' the most recent BODY COUNT of the Vietnam War --- these days I watch American Democracy as it is "torn asunder" by ONE "man" who is devoid of ANY Humanity WHATSOEVER . I tell you this, these days are gut-wrenchingly* WORSE . The Vietnam War was-gonna END and at its Death there would still be a FUTURE . With the END of democracy [as we knew it] NO >>Future<< can [even] be conceived .
I have FEAR but it's NOT the Fear of being "scared shit", no and FUCK NO , it is far more the FEAR of POTENTIAL Horror -the Horror of NOT-HAVING SOCIAL SECURITY to feed and house myself along with the MILLIONS >Others< who live in this shit-hole we use-ta* know as America . The republicans have HATED Social Security since it was introduced as a Panacea for UNIVERSAL pre-geriatric and geriatric SUFFERING, and have waited for this OPPORTUNITY to EXTINCT it from the ConsciousNess* of American Sociality* . There are NO obstructions for this Development, when the rats* had their Chance, when the OWNED the BYG Three , Congress, Courts and the Presidency BUT THEY DID NOTHING ! Trumpists will NOT make the same mistake .
Words for this screen have been hard to "come by" . Spring preparations have lured me from the Cave to Persephone's Playroom --- but to be COMPLETELY Honest -- I have been "running away" from the desk work to which I've been devoted . There's just SOOOOOO much SHIT to rwite* about but "first sentences" have been maddeningly elusive . The weather HASN'T been 'optimal' but it's been 'optimal' ~enough~ to move about with only modular* discomfort . Stuff's been done, slowly done, but properly and with geriatric >> Care .
You an see it rite ?--- the difference between 'finding' a something(s) and BEING SENT SHIT FROM THE UNIVERSE . I mean, HOW GREAT IS THAT ??????????????? .
The Universe sent me the shelving I asked for but I am STILL waiting for the Universe to send me a trope I can use for the Topic of ---> SACRIFICE . I can SEE that 'it' is on its way BUT.............. .
I want to believe that the Universe VALUES my {best} Efforts --- that when I question my Trajectory the Universe sends me these tid-bits and morsels to mollify my doubts and trepidation(s) --- it is as if the Universe TEASES me with small gifts while withholding the SUPER-BYG Shit that I need to Save Humankind . I gotta tell ya, that SUCKS !!!!!!! I figure there's a Price to Pay for Humankind's Salvation and ........................... .
From the Sublime to the RIDICULOUS ............ . I had a rack upon which I stored my work shoes, work sneakers, a pair of rubbers, and boots . I had old flooring to use as platforms so that the loose soil on the soles wood be prevented from leaking into the shoes below, thing is, there wasn't enough room to put four pairs on each shelf,,,,,, I selfishly asked the Universe to 'send' me somethin' to remedy the disqualification .
Now this shit TRANSCENDS 'significance' --- cood* I live WITHOUT bigger shelves ? OF COURSE , BUT .................................... .
I was driving home for somewhere when I spotted flooring that someone wanted to "lose" {get rid of} . Guess the size of the flooring ---------
Go ahead----------------Guess ......................... .
The Universe SENT me these nu floorings --- and ya-gotta ask, "Is Steve DeSilva SOOOO Important that he gets to have shelving delivered to him ??? -------- but for WHY ? Am I THAT Important to the Universe ??????????? 2 words : I MUST be .
I'm writing about this stupid shit bc "it" shows the workings and machinations that the Mind "goes through" in order to solve problems . I mean it DOESN'T, is the Universe THAT sensitive to the whims and fancies of an old Sword's-Man ? How can it be ??? Yet I'm one of >>>>>>>those<<<<<<< that BELIEVES in "hidden messages" within the structure and context of the Universe's Reality . It's my Goal to be sensitive to a Universe that somehow REWARDS Individuals for being TUNED to the Vibration's that are the Essence of Universe ConsciousNess* . Excessive ??? I mean, ya-gotta wonder .
The Universe is fucking with me . This "first sentence" `arrived` yesterday-- I was so excited I ran down to this desk to record it for this morning . In the past couple of weeks things have 'arrived' that I had asked for, even a few months ago ; yesterday I found the wedges that are use to affix hammer and ax heads to handles . The practicality of using perforated metal strapping 'arrived' and I am STILL beating myself to "up" bc it took me so long to see exactly how it cood* be so much better than store-bought handles [or pulls] . An Energy has arrived to help me review [re-view] the once open-cesspool that is the 'staging and work area' . Once this shit gets settled as "having arrived", I wondered why the fuck it took me so long so "See" . But it ain't just that ~~~ WHY the Universe has sent this shit absolutely fascinates me .
Fareed Zakaria ASSERTED this Fact : The World's Democracies did NOT choose AMERICAN Democracy as their Democracy . Indeed what IS prelevent is PARLIAMENTARY Democracy since It DEMANDS that all Groups >>>>WORK TOGETHER<<< to find Solutions for National Problems . We KNOW why American Democracy FAILED . Now "We the people" need to ACT . Here it is where individual Groups should CHAMPION the "Causes" of Others so as to disseminate the Principles and Ideals necessary to LITERATELY "Form a more perfect Union" . Individual Groups fomenting Patriotic dissent appear as nothing more than weak >>>VICTIMS<<< . Without the Strength of NUMBERS their Voice is just a mere -------> whimper .
I'm not sure that AOC and Bernie "have it right" . I am all FOR Socialism but I do NOT believe or even THINK that [their] "Social Democracy" has any better chance than [straight-up] Socialism . I look at the organized protests to date and see various >>Groups<< trying to advance their Agenda while also trying to PROTEST that of trump . HORROR is perhaps the ONLY "Shared Commonality" between these Groups . These Groups want Others to join them in Protest but there seems to be NO "Reciprocity" with regard to those SAME Others who may or may not have THEIR Agenda "Set Forth" on Equal Footing . I hazard that there are STRUCTURAL >>>complexes<<< that these Groups unwittingly share --- they have No RECOGNIZABLE Leader, making it difficult to 'present' a Voice & FACE to the General Public --- there is no one to answer the most pressing : "WHO THE FUCK IS IN CHARGE HERE ???

Those of us who cood* never be doctors cuz* we don't have any Patients INSIST that Socialism is >>> NEXT<<< Form of Government if `Political Evolution` is to be considered . I believe that Fear is component of "Reason" when one is to consider, next, the implementation of Such {{{in this fucking lifetime}}} . Folks that HATE Communism have that SAME Hatred for Socialism --- being less than fully informed has DRASTIC consequences . What makes matters Worse are the failed Efforts of Venezuela and Brasil . "Piss-Poor" History and "NO TIME" tag Socialism as UNWANTED ON EVERY LEVEL . "Uhhh~~~ Houston ??? We have a Problem ."
I didn't [even] go outdoors this morning, satisfied it was just TOO fucking dreary to bother with ANYTHING . I knew I WANTED to rwite* but the TOPIC has bee unavailable to resource bc I'm lazy, shiftless-ful* and Temper-MENTAL ,,, plus I'm ever the broodfull* one---subject to Miss Use and Muse-Use* .
"To Brood" : "transitive verb" ; "3. to ponder in a troubled or morbid way" .
I WISH I cood* echo-o- Gregg Alman when he sang, "Every morning I wake up with the blues". Since trump "got in" I awaken with a severe Sensitivity to DISASTER --- a fucking SOMETHING that trumpism supplies with SAVAGE Intent .
2 words >> NO ONE EVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THIS BAD !!! I mean, shit, how cood we ??? What trump has done to america is UNIMAGINABLE !!!!
But then there's George Orwell ............................................ .
Facebook is rife with posts of "pissed-off" folks who MUST vent in order to stay on the good side of SANITY . I can relate . HOWEVER, there are DIRE needs that MUST-BE Addressed if there is to be ANY ---> Future .. specifically, what EXACTLY must we do in order to first neutralize tryumpism and then REVERSE its Effects . The posts REEK of cryin' eyes and soulful laments, all VERY Romantic and and CLEARLY Useless . I'm tellin' you what Chrissie Hynde ordered, "STOP YOUR SOBBING" . There is NO Time to waste on emotions that lack POWER and appear as nothing more than petulant whispers . Fuck that shit . Instead of LIVING on the "Pitty Pot" Energies SHOULD be harnessed to supply Strategies and TACTICS that are a CORRECT Response to trump and musk's "make america a shithole" >>> Usurpations* .
I WANT to go outdoors to look for shit I don't hafta* do . [Just now] I had a good shoulder workout but my biceps wouldn't respond and my triceps got worked enough in yesterday morning's Effort . I SHOULD >>> Rwite, but nothing has "Arrived" ~~~ ... .
I've begun watching Rachel Maddow's telecasts bc she makes and Effort to show the various Protests that Patriotic Citizens have demonstrated . You'd think I'd be "all over this" bc of the very NATURE of 1st Amendment GUARANTEES . I am not . I followed the upraising and midnight Protests in Ukraine where those Citizens withstood Russian FIREHOSES in sub-zero ARCTIC Temperatures . America ISN'T Ukraine but "SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING!" .
Protests reveal the MASSIVE >>>Distress<<< the American Electorate is experiencing. Folks that Voted for trump have been OUTRAGED by trump's performance thus far . Theses ASSHOLES voted for a CONVICTED CRIMINAL --- now they are offended that he is INTENT upon DEMOLISHING Democracy-- a Something the maga-ots never conceived DESPITE bannon's threats . How the fuck can you feel 'bad' for maggots ??? One word, YOU FUCKING CAN'T .
There are objects and items that appear on : "Everyone's 'Must Have' List" ; among them duct tape, a hammer, both types of screw-drivers [slotted and phillips] , Vise Grips, pliers, {some wood * argue, a 'Monkey Wrench'} , but I MUST >Insist< >>>perforated metal strapping<<< AND 'mechanic's wire' actually complete the tool box of rudiments .
Of course it ain't no use to HAVE these items if you don't know their application and HOW to use them --- stories for 'Another Time' . Whatever ~~~~~~~~~ .
It took FIFTEEN and a half FOREVERS to devise a system from which the Mirror can be secured . Def not proud of that but being ashamed is far too HARSH . I got 'there' and I SUPPOSE that "counts for something" {{{{but prob-ly NOT}}}.
There're no Secrets concerning pms . It has perfect holes, it's STRONG and it's pliant . I don't know why it's so rated .
under
I shouldn't hafta* report this but just to be "on the safe side" I gotta tell ya(s) , "Things come alive", meaning, they "take on" human [identities] {for lack of a better word} . I have an almost-used-up coil of "perforated metal strapping" that is holding my Pen/Sword >>>Hostage. I know, I know, it shouldn't be happening but I'm here to confess = 'it's' happening, even now as I prepare to "cave" into writing {rwiting} about this >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> item .
Sometime ago, in a fit of INSANITY I hit the closet door [KWITE BY ACCIDENT] --- the impact dislodged a 'mirror thingy' and I saw it fall to the floor in a violent display of flimsy and flamsy . I was INSTANTLY "heartsick" - the piece may not have been of Museum Quality but it was QOOL* as in "Wicket Qool" . I resigned myself to glue it and return it to its 'hy* vis' location .
Shattered things MAY become puzzles and so it was to me . I congfess that it took me 2 FREAKING WEEKS to devise a procedure to assemble the item with INTELLIGENCE and Structural Integrity and now that I have completed THAT level the next is at hand, meaning, I must now devise a hanging/support rig that will secure the Item properly ----------------enter "Perforated Metal Strapping" {with FLOURISH} . So now I'm just an old guy with PMS .
Thing is,
{as Boxing Champion Bobby Chacon noted}
"You gotta do what you gotta do" :
well taken --
and as far as THAT goes -
I will work TIRELESSLY to find shit I'm NOT gonna do .
I got out thinking to feel 49 degree warmth and was SHOCKED to fee-ill >freezing< instead. One thermometer read 28 the other 27 so, I mean, I was all-ready to KICK-ASS and do some SUPER-IMPORTANT Nothin', a Condition of Retirement FRAUGHT with TONS-O-SHIT that MUST-BE done in order to maintain some semblance of physical cohesion to the tasks of duty and obligation . I mean it this way : I OWE "IT" to myself to do "all that I can" to ensure stability but more often than NOT more often I laze about with the Prospect of transforming into Stupor-man a readily a available alternative to "nose to the grindstone" and "fingers to the bone" {psychotic} resolve . I'm weak and lazy................................. .
There are those that "make the most searching demands of others but fail to make those SAME demands on themselves" . This kind of Attitude is some of the Cause of contempt-able Apathy that resulted in "stay-at-home" {Socio-Political} Malfeasance . In America, if these "Stay-at-homes" had voted PERHAPS trump would be wallowing in his own open cesspool . Good, Honest and Decent folks that DO NOTHING should no longer be considered >> Good, Honest,, and Decent .
Some Time ago a young Arabic Woman was being interviewed -- she spoke eloquently of the shit, piss,, and corruption of her "Environment" but when asked if she would seek Public Office she said this : "Politics is dirty." She declined to seek office bc of this >>> FILTH .
I know my Precious Readers can see the Problem : If Good, Honest,, and DECENT Folks don't "run for office" [then] that leaves only the sullied and contempt-able to do so . We are living the Results of this Condition . The PROBLEM is that each and every Citizen SHOULD-BE Good, Honest and Decent enough to ACTUALIZE their Democracy RIGHT to engage in Public Discussion {I wanted to use Awareness} to such a degree that they GET Informed and STAY Informed so that REASONABLE Measures are NOT left on the "Cutting Floor" to be swept up by Juan(s) and Juanita(s) as part of their daily and nightly tasks .
I mean it this way : We pay for these ASSHOLES to DO THEIR JOBS bc WE are busy doing ours . But when things go {Confederate} South there is this MAXIM : "If you want something done Right DO IT YOURSELF" . I mean shit------ "Truer words were never spoken."
It INFURIATES me to hear congress folks implore : "It up to you" ; meaning, it's "up to" [us] Common Citizens , to "Fight back" . To me, that is such a callously IMBECILIC statement that recognizes that those same congress folks are FAILING to execute the tasks, responsibilities and OBLIGATIONS that their "position" DEMANDS . Here I use "FAILING" instead of REFUSING bc I am giving them some leeway of doubt ----- These democraptic* OUTLAWS are STEALING money in that they are getting paid FOR DOING NOTHING --- If that isn't outright THIEVERY then what IS ???
I suppose the Goals are the same as they have always been = Peace, Prosperity, Health and Security {from outside Invaders} . To have "just surviving" is to have "the bar" that is resting on the ground, at its lowest level . I haven't decided if >merely surviving< is the most appropriate form of Inner Resolve . I mean that this way , what are the other Forms of Resolve that best suit the Conditions-at-hand ? I FEEL as if our hands are bound and are feet shackled, indeed, I have insisted that not only are we SURROUNDED but we have "no place to stand" . With what does that leave us ?
Today's Topic is suppose-to-be 'about' Trajectory and Orientation : specifically, 'about' "Holding" one's Mind . "Holding" is used by Buddhists and Zen Buddhists to describe a Mental State of Maintenance, meaning, [and here's the phrase Buddhist use] "How do you KEEP your Mind in Focus, ESPECIALLY to solve Problems [or find the answer to whatever kong-an (koan) that one is "working-on']. In our case, How do we "keep" our Minds NORMAL during this CRISIS of Democracy and the Advent of Tyranny . This order calls for a nu* Orientation, and even, perhaps, nu Goals, which then (Force) a sympathetic Trajectory . On the most basic level = How the fuck do we keep our fucking SANITY under the Rule of a megalomaniac who is educationally an IMBECILE but who possess "Pied Piper" Sorcery ????
I thought I had a "first line"---I don't . I went outside to check on the conditions : dark, wet, foggy, but late-Spring mild . Spring HAS "arrived" but it's the U. Mass Spring, almost muddy everywhere, Amherst cloaked in mist and fog = Beauty for sure despite the muted colors ... .
I apologize for the way I left things yesterday --- as usual I "ran out of gas" and I abandoned the site to ease the pain in my back and get outdoors where far more pleasing tasks awaited . I routinely bum myself out --- something I live with -- for really no good Reason . I wish I were better at "Bringing things to Conclusion"-- I guess {{{I KNOW}}} I'm NOT that guy .
I know what happened and why ~~~~ Topics that have ground down my resistance find their way into my "pen" in such a way that they APPEAR to be part of the original focus but as you gyze* have read --- there are problems . I concluded with a stint about Fighting but I did NOT >>connect<< Fighting to a Social ConsciousNess* ----- not exactly a small "faux-pas" .
You get these kids that SAY they want to learn Martial Arts but when they are introduced to "Fighting" {Forms} they "shrink-back" . I had one young chickling actually say , "I don't want to fight, I just want the Art" . What the fuck are you suppose to DO about that except squeeze out a "THAT is Martial Art ESSENCE " . 2 Words : these kids don't last . Martial Art is LITERALLY "Self Defense" . If you DON'T-WANNA Fight you had better learn to RUN FAST .
I've used the trope of >Mirror-Mirror on the wall< to exemplify HOW {by what means} Truth is delivered but the Delivery is NOT the Problem so much as it {the Problem} is the REFUSAL to believe the Truth . I have described "The Darkness" as the woefully MALIGNANT Cancer that has pervaded the American Body Politic to such an extent that {I hazard} most Americans are simply and SAVAGELY Exhausted by the Truth --- which is characterized by UNRELENTING SENSORY BOMBARDMENT of Propagandal Calamity . Here it is where Good, HONEST,, and Decent Folks simply CANNOT muster the Inner Energy and Soul Resolve to confront "The System" and its SUFFOCATING STRANGLE HOLD . Here it is where all we CAN "muster" are the DYING WORDS of an INNOCENT Human Being : "I CAN'T BREATHE" .
The demoCRAPS refuse to FIGHT and it AIN'T bc they are philosophically OPPOSED to trump's version of Hitlerism* ---- nope it aint THAT at all . These ASSHOLES actually DEFINE "Cowardice" --- a Cowardice of the HIGHEST Order : it is so bc of the Nature of trumpist Political Cruelty,,, which seeks to PREY on the Weak and the Indigent {not to mention the Old and Infirm} . Nope, "What we got HERE is a 'Failure to Communicate", a Failure marked by a set of rhetorical Polemics {{ I mean what else WOULD it be ?}} that seeks to EXCUSE a political STUPOR {better phrased as Torpor} . They "talk the talk" but when it "comes-down-to" "rolling up the sleeves" and ACTUALLY "walking-the-walk" [walking into BATTLE} those ASSHOLES would have NONE of >>> IT . They don't want "Blood on their hands" as if THAT will ensure their uncomely entry it a "meek shall inherit the Earth" ----------------> HELL .
I promised myself I would rwite everyday but I broke that promise as kwikly* as I could . I'm both weak AND Pathetic but hey---that's just me and who I am {rite now} .
In Children's Literature, how many times have we encountered, "...and Darkness descended EVERYWHERE upon the Land" ? So why is it that I should IGNORE this Darkness and present a rainbow-rosy out-look that only a dim-wit would appreciate (?) only to try to appease [mollify] those that dread the Darkness and delusion themselves with >>>Hope<<< . Can't do it .
Sometime in the "While Ago" of the "Way Before" I watched an interview of Frank McCourt the Author of Angela's Ashes . He was "up-there" in age but was able to write a book of memoirs about his Mom . I liked the guy straight-away, because---despite--- his age he was still able to generate such loving text { writing as Art via "Grand-Ma Moses"} . Soon after that [observation] I listened to a respected Intellectual describe McCourt's Book as "same old Irish {get this" RANT . I was both sickened and ENRAGED . I HAD liked this {now} ASSHOLE so it was a "Double Whammy" .
I'm rwiting* this morning due to a feeling of shame and embarrassment . Every morning I argue with SEVERAL of my "Other Selfs" because they would have me Rwite >> whether or NOT<< the shyte* I generate is any >>>Good . I DON'T like rwiting when my Heart-Mind isn't "into it" . I feel as if it's senseless dribble ~~~~ the dregs and dross from my barrel of "shit, piss,, and fucking corruption" . I don't want to be tagged with >>>> "the same old Portuguese Rant" .
There are brief 'respites' that are of High [HY] {pun intended} value because during these thought vacancies Other Worldly `information` [perhaps not the best word] 'Arrives' . This Information CANNOT Arrive if one's Mind is pre-occupied with the day's `trivial pursuits`---here it is where the Mind MUST-BE --->Empty<--- , free of thoughts and free of THINKING,, if the Universe is to be successful with Its 'dispensation(s)' .
I keep clipboards with legal pads near EVERY job-site so that when this Information "Arrives" I can record it . I am a HUGE Fan of Maryjane since it is SHE who stimulates my Imagination that IT may be "receptive" to WHATEVER the Universe accords . This is where the "HOLDING" is imperatively important . When I have difficulty summoning my own view and OBVIOUSLY View Points . Now do I NEED MJ {MaryJane} OBVIOUSLY ---> NOT but what She does is INCLUDE my Body Dharma with the Substance of BEING . Getting HY is BEING --- I LOVE the Intensity that She brings to me --transforming me to a Cosmic ENTITY . I KNOW this conceit is PATHETICALLY Romantic but it's what I have rite-now .
I have a penchant for using scenes from popular films to support whatever it is I am writing about in order to add `dimension-ality {richness and depth} which [then] lubricates the 'way' toward understanding and appreciation . Yesterday, while re-viewing old notes,, I came upon "stereo-sophic" -- in an instant I recognized its value as a term to describe the 'above' . 'Stereo' refers to dual channels of information output = the facts of the Truth on one channel ; the scene's >display< to cite similarity or parallel on the other . I'm certain my Readers know that >Sophia< means Wisdom = Wisdom within Film~~~~~~~~~ I don't think 'it's' a s-t--r---e----t-----c------h .
800,000 inhabitants died from Nazi Siege Warfare . Thing is >>> the city SURVIVED and ultimately DEFEATED the Nazi forces . You want GUTS ? Russia got it .
The Soviet FEAR of Nazis and Nazi-ism is completely understandable but what makes it modern HORROR is the UNREMITTING use of PROPAGANDA to KEEP the Russian Psyche OPPOSED to ANYTHING >>>Western ---- ALL of which are based upon the Remembrances of Leningrad . Here it is where DEMOCRACY is the Root and Source of ALL Russian Fears and Hatreds . Here it is where WWII >>>NEVER ENDED<<< --- The War against Democracy is PERCEIVED as the War against NAZI-ISM . You want "fucked-up" ??? Russia got Fucked-uP !!!
I got to College and everything changed once more . We had to read TOLSTOY but guess where ----- CHILDREN'S LITERATURE {with Professor Francella Butler} . Then of course there was Modern Novels with the Chairman of the English Department, Dr. Moynihan who introduced us to DOSTOEVSKY and his The Brothers Karamazov which was unlike ANYTHING I had ever read . These were BRILLIANT MEN who gave the World some of the most IMMACULATE Literature ever written . Combine THAT with a twin-cylinder air-cooled diesel tractor from Belarus and my FEELINGS for Russia were ampLIFIED . The Russian People were NOT >>>the Problem<<< . Russian Fine Arts were among the GREATEST on the Planet . Nope---I had NOTHING against the Russian Peoples .
Once my Generation read Orwell's Animal Farm [copyright 1946] and 1984 [copyright 1949] we were avowed ENEMIES OF THE SOVIET UNION !!!! Fear begot Hatred ... and indeed, I was scared shit and it got worse . Sputnik changed the World Order . Everyone figured : `If they can put a satellite in Orbit then they could put Nuclear Devices in Orbit as well` . Everyone figured that BECAUSE the Soviets controlled Space THEY CONTROLLED THE WORLD since THERE WAS NO PLACE ON EARTH WHERE A SOVIET NUCLEAR DEVICE COULD NOT BE DETONATED !!!!! "No where to run to---no place to hide" {{as the Song 'goes'}} . Safety and Security were IMPOSSIBLE !!!!
One of the deadliest images from my childhood is of Nikita Khrushcev at the United Nations banging his shoe upon his desk and bellowing to the U.S.
"WE WILL BURY YOU !!!!" .
I'm in my 74th orbit of the Sun and this image is as brutally INTENSE as it was in 'Real Time' . Here it was that Russia was Considered AN ENEMY OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD !!!!! The Soviets were SUPERIOR in Space Age Technologies and had enough Nukes to OBLITERATE an entire Planet !!!!!!!! They were to be FEARED and when you're a kid Russia SCARED THE FUCK OUT OF ALL OF US !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We grew up with the THREAT of Nuclear ANNIHILATION as "EVER PRESENT" each day and EVERY day . You think that caused Trauma that was REPAIRABLE ?????????
Please---------- think again .
I spent yesterday working on what I have tagged a `barn bench` better described as-a* huge-fucking-work-bench . I've seen these 'benches' that stretch half the length of a barn wall , made from 2 inch planks and 4 x 4 legs and cross members, along with whatever relevant 2 x 6's that happen to be lying around . I was running-away from the WH bushwhack of my HERO Zelenskyy .
In a bygone era I stayed awake to witness the first step -by a human- on the Moon . It was EPOCH changing ------- and now I can state that I was THERE when trump HANDED-OVER a NATION to putin .
Trump's "lock, stock and barrel" DELIVERY of the U.S. to putin EQUALS the IMPACT of 9-11 --- in fact I argue that it EXCEEDS 9-11 because the [Political] "face" of the Planet has been changed in TECTONIC Scope and Measure .
Earth will NEVER "be the same" .
Folks saw musk with that chainsaw and no one commented that he's the S. African Chainsaw Maniac . Musk has single-handedly sent THOUSANDS to their career DEATH . He ain't just a KILLER chainsaw FREAK -- no and FUCK NO -- he's a SLAUGHTER-MAN . Musk considers the Poor and Poverty Stricken as >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PARASITES<<<<<<<<<<<<<< on the Body Politic; a Condition HE THINKS requires nothing short of TOTAL >>>>>>> ERADICATION . He won't stop because his BLOOD-LUST knows no bounds .
Canada --- is america now CAN'T ADA ? {I'm jus' sayin'} . Canada did it RIGHT with "Cradle-To-Grave" Life & Death Care . Recently Canada has been harangued for NOT contributing ENOUGH to its Defense Budget choosing instead to funnel Monies into its HEALTHCARE System . COMMENDABLE on EVERY Level .
Canada may not use the term Socialism but nevertheless what they have IS [a Form of] Socialism .
Canada is "doing OK" whereas Can'tada is a fucking open cesspool .
Providing mere description does NOT effectuate a repair of a broken Condition-of- Reality . MILLIONS of you haven't asked me, "Well, what, EXACTLY 'comes next' ?? I fully contend that democracy is a "stepping stone" toward {you guessed it} SOCIALISM --- But NOT the Socialism of Brazil nor Venezuela !!! AOC* and hers insist on using the term : "Democratic Socialism" to advance a more REALISTIC "Approach" to Governmental Evolution . I prefer MY term : Political Altruism -- to be applied to Governmental Responsibility to its Citizens . Folks are SCARED of Socialism bc they view it as an ADJUNCT to COMMUNISM . It isn't .
You qidz* KNOW I am no fan of democracy --- folks insist that because democracy has a `self-nature` that is both weak and FRAGILE we must {somehow} Secure its maintenance by {unrealistic} unremitting Vigilance . As an Alcoholic,,, I AM a ---> BYG FAN of Unremitting VIGILANCE bc for me it IS "a matter of Lyfe* & Death" and I can assure You, I want LYFE {LYPHE} .
The ISSUE is one of Evolution {as far as I can "see"} . Democracy has truly 'eaten' itself in that democracy is the Source and CAUSE of american TYRANNY . NEVER FORGET that it was DEMOCRACY . Trump was elected "Fair & Square" by his army of rank-ass ZOMBIES . Here it is where folks USED democracy to elect a DICTATOR .
YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I must impress upon you that it was DEMOCRACY that 'brought-about' trump and musk's "Kingship" --- TYRANNY if you want to be Truthful . During Bush-the -Stupid's "reign" there were MASSIVE Industrial Migrations that turned America's Industrial Heartland into "Death Valley" . The so-called republicans at that time DID NOTHING to stem the tide that was washing out job after job leaving MILLIONS "in the dust" of a global Futurism* gone HORRIBLY rwong* . During Pelosi's "reign", when the rats had the BIG THREE, ---------NOTHING was done about corporational* migration, nor was there ANY >>> EFFORT to reconcile these HUGE Losses with some sort of Government Intervention that would 'care for' those who had built their lives upon their home-town Industries .
Meanwhile, back at the Raunch*, the republicans were USING DEMOCRACY to gain majorities in MANY States --- sometimes with "back alley" -- "dead of night" SAVAGERY . Pelosi and hers DID NOTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As King Lear resigned : "Nothing comes from Nothing."
What can be said about the American SUPPORT for putin's WAR ???????????????????
SUPPORT of this nature was SUPPOSE-TA-BE ----------> UNIMAGINABLE ---- A SOMETHING THAT IS FAR BEYOND THE SCOPE AND MEASURE OF HUMAN KEN .
And yet ...................................................................................................
And yet .......................................................................................................................... .
I hazard that I am among the Few who manged to traverse Piketty's Capital , in that same {sorta} Path is Shoshana Zuboff's THE AGE OF SURVEILLANCE CAPITALISM . Her Book is the size of a BIBLE with a staggering 525 pages of absolute BRILLIANCE . She writes like George Orwell had he Einsteinian Genetics .
The "broligarchy" wants to CONTROL our Minds {so that} they can FORCE US TO BUY their wares, all the way from cells to laptops; from cars to mops; from groceries to luxuries --- in which not only do they profit handsomely but HIDEOUSLY UGLY as well .
I need you gyze* to KNOW that sukerberg is ALREADY 'fast friends' with MANY wanna-be DICTATORS from around the globe --- he does THEIR 'bidding' while harvesting SPECTACULAR [business] Results .
Know this about them --- when everything is "all told" these assholes COULD END WORLD HUNGER .
Some Time Ago in the "Way Before" I listened to a SUPER-Brain speculate on "the jobs of the Future". It was SAVAGELY BRUTAL . Based on socio-economic PATTERNS,, he envisioned that the ONLY jobs available to the Masses were those that MAINTAINED the Properties of "The Rich and Famous" as SERVANTS, {{{SLAVES}}},, grounds-keepers and the like . He supposed that the Industrial Working Class would cease to exist bc of robots and AI . His words STUNNED me, his postulates seem logically convincing . I sat still ------- aghast .
I picked-up some shit yesterday and I need to offer it to you my Readers because it was SO punishingly poignant . Truth is, I don't want to have it on my back and my chest all day .
One of Wallace's guests, [yesterday aft] was Dr. Julie Posetti, who coined the word "broligarchy' to tag SUCKerberg , musk and bezos,, but when she was plied about their mental origins regarding their wealth-as-ideation* she responded with a vivid description of their Inmost Psyche . I'm certain Dr. Posetti will forgive an old man as he wades through the 'broligarchy' cesspool/bog,, please follow her lead .
These asshole BELIEVE that they are the TRUE Rulers of this our Society and Culture and they BELIEVE that THEY are FULLY QUALIFIED to Rule the Masses because the MASSES are VASTLY INFERIOR to them . She continued nonplussed despite the ENORMITY of this 'qualification' . She went further : they BELIEVE that they ARE BORN WITH A DIVINE RIGHT TO RULE !!!!!!!!!! I'm tellin' you Qidz, you CAN'T "make this shit up" .!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALLLLLLL of us have heard, "I don't have any TIME to meditate ." Although "You can't fix stupid" you CAN remedy the illness of delusion . Hayes has tagged 'it' a "daily constitutional" where daily is self-evident and 'constitutional' is `old man` for a something YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT . {I'm jus' sayin'} . Not-having-time is bullshit of course !! When I attack, "You have time to shower ?" and listen to "Well I just can't NOT shower", I supply this : You MAKE time to shower --- the same can be true of Meditation >>>>>>>>>> which is a form of MENTAL HYGIENE <<<<<<<<<< . You can dig it" rite ??? Of course you can --- I mean shit ---why walk about with a "dirty mind" ??????
What follows is what I found on p.77 [...Sirens'...] :
"For many years I have, like an old man, taken a daily constitutional . I began in my early twenties when I was a freelance writer, which meant working all day at home or in coffee shops . I found it useful to go for a walk and clear my head each day . I'd go even on the bitterest days of a Chicago winter, when the wind slices at your face like a blade . I started doing this before the days of the smart-phone and even before the days of podcasts on the iPod . During the walk I would just ... think . I'd let my Almost wander . Alack to my most without exception, my best thinking happened on these walks . I would come back to my laptop, sometimes almost racing up the steps to my apartment, to get the thoughts down and onto the page."
"Been there, done that ."
I'm not exactly "in deep" with Chris Hayes' newest, THE SIRENS' CALL, in fact, I'm only on p.77 ,, but he's written some stuff that I find personally rewarding .
Some time ago, when Twitter was still Twitter,, Hayes wrote something that I responded to . INCREDIBLY Hayes "called me out" with "It's probably not that simple" . I was STUNNED that someone of his caliber would even CONSIDER replying to my missive, yet there it was >>> there HE was . I printed his reply and have it stored in my {make-believe} Vault .
}My Hero{ Robert Pirsig, described the time he found a philosopher who wrote some things that Pirsig, himself, was "working on" . Prisig went on to write how PLEASED he was that Someone Else was also "working on" those very Same Things . He expresses 'it' beautifully ; "When you meet someone else who is doing what you are doing `it` is something of a BLESSED EVENT !"
I'm there on that .
I've begun thinking that the utter lack of an APPROPRIATE Response to trumpism is because the rats are playing their own secret game of "Who-Wants-To-Be-The-Next-Pres?" . Terrified Citizens, and I am among Them, are DEMANDING Rat BACKLASH if for no other Reason than to exhibit at least SOME Form of MILITANT Opposition . The so-called 'Militant' Opposition is a reliance upon KNOWN Strategies and Tactics which DIRECTLY CONFRONT the Forces of Obscuration-al* Rhetoric and puerile Polemics . There have been noteworthy Responses by INDIVIDUALS mostly as "Encounters" with the Enemy but these are 1 v 1 skirmishes that are as "Band-Aids on bleeding arteries". 2 words : : WE NEED SO MUCH MORE !!!!
Every time I hear a democRAT use 'colleague' as a tag for trumpists my FURY knows no bounds . You can hear it rite ? The trumpists are doing EVERYTHING to eviscerate {the guts of} the Collective Body Politic while the rats watch-on with scarcely a flinch of Interest . I HATE them for this 'That' . BYG and SUPER-Brains have agreed that the BEST "Course of ACTION" is to stand as a FORCE and execute a COUNTER -STRIKE to the trumpists' DAILY Onslaught of Lies, Excuses, Blames and Attacks on THE MIDDLE CLASS . As soon as an EO is broadcast the Counter-CULTURE must KICK-IN to establish Truth as ORDER, as well as applying whatever-can-act as a 'neutralizing agent' .
I've told you Qats - It's WAR !
I need you gyze* to remember that South-east Ukraine has the pipelines that carry fuel to Europe and THAT'S why putin wants to annex that territory, that he may GUARANTEE fuel transport . It's bullshit of course --- I mean, on the surface, 'it's' plausible enough but International LAW prohibits such wanton Territorial Savagery . The Ukraine Northland IS "Bread-basket" of both Europe and AFRICA . For all intents and purposes Ukraine FEEDS Africa . Should Ukraine Fall it would TRANSFORM Russian economy from where it is now = to ITALY , to a WORLD POWER . (Recall that Pakistan has nuclear warheads as well and IT can hardly be considered a "World Power" .)
Logically it is IMPOSSIBLE ---> to miss this : Defending Ukraine is Defending Europe and the African Starving-Poor against ANY Future Famine . Should putin succeed, he will be able to FURTHER "leverage" Europe's Politics by dint of Threat [Food Supply] . His success would COMPLETELY compromise ANY European Sovereignty{where Sovereignty means {true} Independence} .
How are we to 'hold' our Minds during the 2nd Dark Ages ? We can project forward from the Pattern of trusk Destructions* --- Goodbye Medicare-Medicaid , and I suspect those greedy sons-a-bitches WON'T STOP until every poor person is bilked out of his or her Life's Savings ------ . What's happening in America is nothing short of JUNGLE PREDATION . Here we can tag trumpism as the GOP GROTESQUE OPPRESSIVE PREDATORS . But I digress .
Once all AFFORDABLE healthcare is 'lost' it will become EXCEEDINGLY IMPERATIVE to get healthy and STAY healthy from now until Death ; even NOW if you ain't got you no Healthcare you ain't gonna be 'Admitted' by MANY hospitals .
2 words : Don't get Sick and don't get Old.
There's no great 'first sentence' this morning --- I'm dwelling in a miasma of Misery that has been building since trump 'got in' . It ain't just my Head --- my Body is in a state of unrelenting [dys]comfort* so much so that I have begun hitting the speed bag and and doing dumb-bell work on my deltoids . At least when the Misery hits, the workout seems to help, check that, the workout HELPS .
Supplying Historic Parallels is OK if your a Historian -- but if you are a Commentator of Social Events and have resorted to JUST 'Descriptions' WITHOUT significant Insights well then we have a Problem . MY Problem is compounded bc I EXPECT to have the Capability to provide Insights and when those Insights are sparse, if nor RARE, I am left wallowing in self-contempt .
I ain't alone . No one seems to know what will happen when "trusk" empties the Medicare/Medicaid Treasury and MILLIONS are ABANDONED .
'Trusk' can't be stopped .
I read a Post that clearly described the democrat mind . It read this : Democrats do NOT want to advance to a position of DIRECT CONFRONTATION , rather they're PERFECTLY CONTENT to KEEP the Status Quo AS IT IS meaning : In all this Misery and Strife, the congre$$ morons will DO NOTHING because THEY CAN'T BE HARMED BY ANY OF TRUSK'S {trump + musk = trusk} Societal and Cultural DEMOLITIONS . They ain't got no "skin in the game" . What has been their Response ? We've gone over this . I HATE that they still refer to trumpists as COLLEAGUES . THEY ARE FUCKING DELUSIONAL AND THEREFORE UNFIT FOR OFFICE .
In my Mind, we are in a WAR to protect INNOCENT Children and the old and infirm Elderly, who will SURELY Suffer from FEDERAL Removal of ------> FOOD !!!!
Who will Protect those who will DIE IN THE STREETS ???? Gutter Death was one of the reasons the New Deal was devised ---- folks were DYING in the streets, and THAT was just ONE Reason .
During "COVID" I scowled : You ain't-gonna fix Covid with MORE Covid. I mean, did I get 'that' Right ? If so, does this next follow Logically (?) : You ain't-gonna fix Democracy with MORE Democracy .
Mentally sound folks REFUSE to acknowledge that it was DEMOCRACY that elected trump, it was DEMOCRACY that released the Jan-6 CRIMINAL INSURRECTIONISTS . See 'it' for what "it" is : trump is THE FACE and VOICE of America . Trump and Trumpism USED Democracy AGAINST ITSELF in a fucking BRILLIANT Display of Gruesomely AWESOME political CRUELTY .
China has mocked, "The U.S. is a FAILED State" . ...look around... .
