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

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* ???
