Trump's GOLDEN ARCS

                                                           There IS a nation-w-i-d-e Protest scheduled for trump's birthday--I am NOT optimistic .  The last protest involved BARELY  8 million citizens, one mil more than its predecessor ,   not good .   I feel folks just can't be bothered, it's sad but I think TRUE .   Folks are taking the War "with a gain of salt", meaning, "Life goes on" and "the show must go on" and "keep a stiff upper lip" and "All's well that ends well".   Fucking horseshit--ALL OF IT .   Thing is, the MAJORITY of americans believe "This too shall pass", and treat this War and its manifestations as mere "Ho-Hum" NORMALCY , a Status Quo that resembles "City Hall" and the curse, "Ya can't fight city hall" .    8 mil ain't nothin' but TEN MILLION ???   HERE WE GO !!!

                           2 words, UN-likely .   There ain't-gonna be no "Storming of the Bastille" by RAGE-FILLED Citizens, not even close ---- what are they gonna "Storm" ?????    I mean, measure for measure, the "Storming of the Capitol Building" was "close" to the "Storming of the Bastille" .   Jan. 6 as White American  Revolution .    Trump WON  --- he TRIUMPHED .

                          Trump's Arc de Triomphe is needed and needed DESPERATELY , in fact, EVERY STATE CAPITOL SHOULD HAVE AN "ARC" NEAR ITS CAPITOL BUILDING to remind folks of the FRENCH PEOPLES who SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES to be FREE FROM KING AND DICTATOR RULE .    

                           2 words :  THAT will never happen .  Perhaps it should .

"FOUR MORE YEARS"

                                                           Some time ago there was a film about a boy who always wanted a circus to be held in his yard, at his home, for his birthday .   It wasn't until he was nearly dead, that folks gave him that circus .    It could be that trump's Dying Wish, was to have an MMA   >Spectacle< rite there in HIS back yard .    Possible, but PROBABLE ????  

                             Then there's America's Birthyear -1776 - and trump has ordered a "Celebration" that DOESN'T acknowledge 1776 like AT ALL, but rather HIS "Triumphs", which he wishes to commemorate with HIS version of the Arc de Triomphe .   Let's look at THAT for a sec. .

                             Any 'search engine' will provide the simple History of the Arc de Triomphe, that it is a monument to remember those that died in the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars .    Ya-gotta figure that trump only saw >Triumph< and that IT was enough for him to covet .   Trump HAS been "Triumphant" in ALL levels of Democracy Destruction and what better way IS there to "Put >IT< in the face" of those that DOUBTED him .    Indeed, his election to the Presidency is a Triumph for him and his .    He has TRIUMPHED over a Nation that has done NOTHING to stop him and his ARMIES and he has TRIUMPHED as did Napoleon, and one wonders if there is a "Waterloo" on the horizon .   Recall that Napoleon "fell" because his lauded "Old Guard" was "brok en" .   Trump's version of the "Old Guard" hasn't even FLINCHED --- 80 to 90 per cent of republicans still APPROVE of him and his policies, AND THE WAR .   Nope---Waterloo is a ways away IFF it is to 'arrive' at all ... .

                          

"Thunder Dome"

                                                           I've been trying to "get my head around" trump's birthday "celebration", specifically, the MMA "Event" whose "Stage" is being constructed on the grounds of the White House .   It's been more than a couple of days and I've yet to be satisfied with what has "arrived' .   Previously, I suggested that his "ballroom" was a manifestation of the Parthenon mainly because of its size, scope and measure--- it looks like Greek Architecture I suppose to "fit in" with the general Greek/Roman Aesthetic that defines D.C. .   Certainly trump didn't and doesn't know anything about the Parthenon, that it was a Temple for MY "Girl" Athena --->  The VIRGIN Goddess , I mean WTF, what is TRUMP doing with a VIRGIN Goddess ????        One can only guess ... .

                           But what of the "Cage / Stage" ???   Most Folks can't "stomach" watching MMA 'Fighting' ,,, they experience MAJOR >discomfort< because of the Pugilism, Wrestling, and Ju Jitsu .   I guess it IS difficult to watch for most, I am NOT that way ---I grew up watching Friday Night Fights with my father in my "formative years" --- plus I am a Martial ARTIST not a Martial SPORTIST, but still, Fighting is an INTEGRAL Part of Martial Arts / Martial Sports Training .    I don't know how trump was even introduced to "Cage Fighting" , but apparently he is an AVID Fan .

                           I CAN "see" how trump was attracted to "Pro Wrestling", "STAGED" "combat" that DEFIES  Human Logic, and whose only "benefit" is entertainment-as-distraction .   Most of us KNOW that the "wrestling" is as phony as a 250 dollar bill --- so, I mean, Phony IS as Phony Sees ---trump "fits rite* in" .   

Miss Treatment

                                                           Back in the Ancient of 7th Grade Yesteryear there was an expression used by common-place-less-thans that was EXTREMELY DISTURBING to some of the rest of us guys, it was "Treat 'em like gold, they'll treat you like shit".  It was popular because of its retort, "Treat 'em like SHIT, they'll treat you like Gold" .   I wanna figure that trump and his have this THIS in "the back of their minds" ~~~  I mean look around... . Trump threats EVERYBODY as if they are nothing but shit ~~~ and then look at what his supporters admire in trump ... .    I'd use the term "Counter-Intuitive" but   FUCKED-UP gets us so much closer to the Truth .   I HATED that expression in Junior High---still do but it seems and sounds Appropriate to register IT as trumpian in Nature and Context .   

                             I can't recall if I heard that expression in college, it may be that "IT" was local to Seekonk, my Home Town, but it seems logical to think that "IT" came from "higher-up" meaning it was "handed down" by High Schoolers who struggled with even Contacting Females, let alone establishing a relationship .   Because of his age, trump would certainly be one of those "Higher ups" .

                             I wonder what would have happened had the Seekonk Junior High Faculty actually ADDRESSED what appears to be EGREGIOUS DISRESPECT for Females  and then made an EFFORT to EXCISE this expression and the ATTITUDE from the Normal of Every-Day ?   

                            I mean, ya-gotta Wonder... .

                             

Miss Construed

                                                          It is perhaps impertinent for me to charge rogan and is Tribe with the categorization of  Instinctual Prothesis, I do so anyway .   

                                In his film "bananas" Woody Allen portrays  the 'average joe', one who hates his job, thinks he's worth MUCH  more than they are paying him, thinks life is a fucking 'rip-off' and one who NEEDS TO GET LAID .   One day, out of nowhere, a Young Miss [Louise Lasser} knocks on woody's door to get is signature on a "World Peace" Petition .   Now Beautiful Louise is no "Playmate Pop-Out", but Woody is "smitten" and he is fucking DESPERATE to SCORE .   He does shit that is completely foreign to his ACTUAL Person , but can't help himself .   

                               It ain't like Woody is depicting a LOSER but it sure looks that way .   I see rogan's Tribe as similar to Woody, DESPERATE to get laid, but WITHOUT the COMMANDING Resources that would attract and seduce ANY Female .   I think they are as "Beavis and Butthead" , wondering if THEY WILL EVER SCORE .   In this it can be extrapolated that they live through trump VICARIOUSLY .   It HURTS to write this but they see themselves IN trump ,   they DISREGARD his flaws, short-comings, failings and  deformities solely to focus on trump's "ability" to CRUSH PUSSY even though HE HAS TO PAY TO GET LAID !   

                               Is Instinct THAT >>>POWERFUL<<< ???   I say, it MUST be .

Miss Conduct

                                                           "Girls just-wanna have fun" and guys just-wanna get laid .   Truth .   I can't help myself, I don't even wanna TRY .   In the TV Satire "South Park" the "PC Principal heads his Frat House Buddies , and in so doing clearly recognizes that he and his just-wanna "Crush Pussy" -- gutter slang for "getting laid" .   THAT is their NUMBER ONE Goal in Life to CRUSH as much Pussy as they possibly can .   I figured that joe rogan's >Tribe< is no different from "PC Principal" and his gang of Neandertals ,  and, because I am Cynical {I put the "SIN" in Cynical} I ravage that "Beavis and Butthead" are also members of rogan's Tribe ,  that one of the main characteristics of that Tribe , is the HEAVY Inclination toward IGNORANT Misogyny abject FAILURE resulting .   The ONLY THING that Beavis and Butthed think about is the "SCORE" .   I ruefully accept that the SCORE is PRIME DIRECTIVE, and therefore INSTINCTUAL , plus the BRUTAL FACT that this Instinct is supported by "Genesis",  the statements thereof that register as "Man was given DOMINION over all animals" ...  you can see how EASILY this translates to >Females are ANIMALS< Therefore MAN has DOMINION over all FEMALES .   Ugly on the surface, indeed, UGLY fucking EVERYWHERE .  

MISS OGYNY

                                                           Questions regarding joe's depiction of trump and trump's characteristics abound .   Trump >became< a "role model" for young men (which is both kind and GENEROUS) but what is the True Nature of these young "men" ?   If they see themselves IN trump, we can and MUST conclude that these young "men" are just like" trump, DISEASED, DAMAGED AND DEFORMED .   Psychologically, that "makes Sense" ... same with joe .   "Peas in a pod", "Birds of a feather" ---you get it ---you can't miss it .

                        Most Folks were HORROR-FRIED* when they heard trump boast, "I can grab their "pussy" and not one thing will happen to me because I'm FAMOUS , and I can do whatever I want ."    Ya gotta figure THAT'S what attracted those young 'men' to trump ,  BLATANT FUCKING MISOGYNY, REAL "knuckle-dragging" cave-man shit that reeks of Neandertal FAILURE .    

                         Ya-gotta figure these young "men" FELT like trump "got it right", that "when all else fails" all you can do is TAKE what you want and FUCK the consequences, because, for trump, and those of trump's ilk, THERE ARE NO CONSEQUENCES .    These young "men" would rather VIOLATE Innocent Females, than do what has been done for CENTURIES ,  engage in COURTSHIP Activities, those where Romance leads to Seduction .   

joe rogan

                                                           I am fascinated with the fact that young american males chose trump as a "Role Model", including a contingent of black american's who all but feasted on trump's Tax Cuts for the "Rich and Famous" .   Somehow they were "turned on" to trump via Joe Rogan's podcast Efforts .   I don't get it .   Before joe rogan was ANYTHING he did an acting stint on "News Radio", that aired from 1995 to 1999 and was barely modestly successful .   I don't know how joe "got into" Martial Sport commentary, but joe became popular THERE because he took it upon himself TO TRAIN AS IF HE WAS A COMBATANT in 'Cage Fighting' ---THAT was and is completely commendable, but does THAT give him "bona fides" to influence his listeners to vote and SUPPORT trump ?   I-mean  SHIT , ya-gotta wonder ..... .   How did joe become 'The Voice' of american males, and the question >WHY< may be even more poignant [significant] .   Joe supported trump and trump-ISM and STILL does, despite raising questions about trump's WAR  and trump's ICE inflicted Cruelty .   I never figured a guy "like" joe could be a "Man Of The People" --- I figured he could never amass a Following that could effect an Election and BOY did I miss THAT .   

Miss Spoke

                                                           I guess I made a mistake by selecting this topic for today, no one is reading ---that's OK  .   I'll try again tomorrow .

Surreal Men

                                                          Ya-wanna Believe that "REAL MEN" would "stand-uP" to trump, that REAL MEN would "speak TRUTH to POWER", that REAL MEN would FORCEFULLY express their MALCONTENT of trump's Policies and Procedures , that REAL MEN would fucking DO SOMETHING !!! The hideous FACT that they sit around and "do NOTHING" questions whether or not they ARE ---> Men <---  at all .   I say, they are NOT >REAL MEN< , they are "adult CHILDREN" and nothing less .   That is my OPINION .   

                             Thing is, what EXACTLY IS a Real Man ?    "Aye, THERE'S the rub."

"Joe, where you goin' with that DUMB in your hand ?"

                                                          I figured the 'safe way' to present my Views was through Academia,  acknowledging the Works of GIANT Others is "tried and true" , but the problem was that of "Relevancy",  shit "looked good on paper" but the Reality didn't support "IT" .   I admit, it's HARD to 'fit' 20 odd years of Study and Research into one or two blogs , I mean, I was satisfied but only to a POINT and not beyond .   I also figured what I had contributed was Enough, rather, HAD-TO-BE 'enough' :  ya can't transcribe every Quote, it would read as a series of footnotes, merely strung together as beads on a necklace, it simply does NOT "Read Well" and reflects POORLY on the Author or Pen-man .   "So it goes."

                               My Frustration was ignited by Nicole Wallace and her incessant question, "WHERE IS CONGRESS, WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS WHO SPEAK 'OFF CAMARA' AND 'OFF MIKE', BUT WHO STEADFASTLY REFUSE TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST TRUMP >>>IN PUBLIC<<< ?"   Good Question--- .  Wallace cited the "Man-O-Sphere" , and the "Bro-Sphere" and identified Joe Rogan     as LEADER of the "BOYS TOWN" menagerie {{Managerie}} .   She noted that Rogan "Handed over" the "boys-to-man" contingent, that proved to be INDESPENSIBLE to trump's victory .  Apparently I missed all that, I don't know how, I THOUGHT I was "Paying Attention" .  

Miss Hit

                                                          Some mornings the "first sentence" is impossible to see, feel or hear...other mornings I have so many that I can't see, feel or hear which one upon which I should focus, leaving me verklempt, frustrated and even exasperated----"Feast or Famine" gets us to There .   

                           I took yesterday off, my apologies, to plant the zucchini, which could only happen once I completed preparing the small garden that would be their new home .   I figured to bring out my clipboard and legal pad to make notes of the Thoughts that surfaced ["arrived"] .   I wanted to "Hold" >Manhood< in my tiny monkey brain, standard practice for one such as myself, so that I could derive today's Effort, and offer insights and out-sights that would benefit my Gentle Readers, and aid in Understanding .   Good Intention, but ALL-of-Us now Understand >Good Intentions< .   My Mind and Heart were "in the Right Place", but  not much else .  "Stymied" illuminates Frustration, but I-gotta figure 'Stymied' is a DIRECT RESULT of `Confusion` .   There's actually a 'great line' for that, "There's nothing worse than a confused Psychology Major " .   Yup, Truth .

                       There's a marked 'sterility' in hospital literature, meaning, back at the Beginning, I planned to write a book "On Manhood" because I figured We, as in "We the People", NEEDED a >Manual< so that we could recognize our location with respect to Life .   Toward this End I began collecting notes and Quotes , that I may use them to describe 'what-it-is-to-be-a-Man' and to supply something of an Historical Context that would feature REAL MEN whose Ideals and Principles have "Passed the Test of Time", and who SHOULD be considered as WORTHY of Present Day  >Emulation< .   Have I mentioned "Good Intentions" ??????????

Miss Trust

                                                          BY DEFINITION the results of experiments cannot be "good" or "bad", they can only be either "expected" or  "UN-expected" .   We know the results of Satan's Experiment on Job, but I MUST enter a Caution ;  the end of Job's Story, where he is given a THOUSAND TIMES what was taken from him, was a fucking RE-Write.  The Original Ending was abandoned because Job received NOTHING , and THAT scared the fuck out of later editors, they LITERALLY "could not live with it" so they changed it TO SUIT THEIR NEEDS .   Vonnegut would snide, "So it goes" . 

                             Trump has almost single-handedly DESTROYED "The American Dream" and supplanted it with HIS --->  NIGHTMARE .   We're in the midst of that Nightmare, one in which Positive Movement SEEMS Impossible.  One word :  It ISN'T .

                              Trump is no "Black Hole", a something from which even Light can't escape, rather he is like an open cesspool, and for me, I prefer "Quick-Sand" .   Know that quick-sand is a FLUID, and as such it is capable of suspending objects in the way that water allows items to FLOAT .   The deal with THAT is VIOLENT Movements only draw one INTO IT whereas GENTLE Movements QUARANTEE advance toward Solid Ground = SAFETY .  

                               I need my Gentle Readers to consider this .

Lore-less

                                                          Some folks have considered trump to be the "Anti-Christ", the One who single-handedly Destroys Human-Kind .   I ain't buyin' it, know why ?   NO Miracles .   Should trump perform a Miracle   >>>>  we are most definitely  FUCKED .   Still, he's an Agent of the Lore, Biblical Lore, but Lore nonetheless .   At THAT level, he is an Agent of Transformation ,  he has already transformed the World's Status Quo, lessening its hold on Truth, Morality, and Ethics .   His actions have DEMANDED >Attention< because he has brought us to what he wants to be an "Extinction Event" the "Extinction" of American Democracy .   

                               Recall WHY Lucifer was cast from Heaven :  2 words ;  he coveted God's AUTHORITY .   Lucifer was created Holy and full of Wisdom, he was also physically PERFECT, Beautiful as they say BUT he was also given "Free Will" and it was THIS that produced CATASTROPHIC Results and STILL does, to this day .   Now look at trump .   He COVETED the Love and Respect of the SUPER-RICH but they REJECTED him, despite his MONEY .  He was considered by them to be vulgar, crass and base UNSUITABLE for Residence IN THE UPPER REALMS .   He HATED "them" for that ----------still does .   But look what happened, he became PERFECT for another Satanic Experiment .   

                                "God works in Mysterious Ways" .

Miss Bea Gotten

                                                           Folks have been morbidly ASTONISHED by trump's >Durability<, meaning,  NOTHING seems to effect him in a way or ways that would profoundly alter his 'Trajectory' .  I hazard that he, like the Biblical Character Cain, [the one who slew his own brother Able], is PROTECTED by Divine Aegis .   In this we must ask, did God order Cain to smite Abel, TO TEACH US A LESSON ????   Did God send trump, TO TEACH US A LESSON ????   

                               Suppose that "Lesson" is a simply, GET YOUR FUCKING SHIT TOGETHER, which is directed TO THE WORLD !!!!   Elsewhere I have insisted that trump 'ain't just' American, he's WAAAAAAAY fucking MORE =  He is the Product of Western Civilization, and when you combine THAT with "Divine Aegis" what we "get' is WORLD FUCKING SUFFERING !!!  

                              Once we "go" Biblical, it isn't long before we encounter "The Book of Job" .   The Devil, Satan, punknaciously* questions the "Durability" of God's Most Devout, Job .  Satan wants God to "TEST" Job and Job's Devotion, and God is SOOOOOO Confident in Job, He agrees to let Satan have a "Free Hand" .   In short, Satan figures to employ SCIENCE in what is OBVIOUSLY a "Scientific EXPERIMENT" .  Who figured Satan to be a SCIENTIST ????   I didn't .

                              Trump is TESTING Human-Kind ????   

                               Trump is a SATANICAL EXPERIMENT ?????  

                               When it comes to the Bible we gotta-be SOOOOOOOO Careful .

Miss Informed

                                                           I have argued that trump is "Man-Made", and as such, should be dealt with by Man .   We elected him and it is we who should condemn him .   But what about God's Will and that of Evolution, how are they to be reconciled ?    Look ;   God sent His Only Begotten Son to Earth to alter the Trajectory of Human-Kind, could He have sent hitler and trump to do that very Same ?   Keep in Mind the Great Flood... .  Now here's a God who had committed the GREATEST SIN OF ALL TIME, MASS EXTINCTION of HIS OWN .   He's capable of ANYTHING .    How is it that a Cosmic "Abstract", Evolution, could "have a Mind of It's own" and inject hitlerism and trumpism into the "Blood" of Civilization in order to alter Human-Kind's Trajectory ?    

                             I mean, Holy WHAT THE FUCK !!!

Miss Treatment

                                                            What is troubling in Ecclesiastes is that War and Peace are part of God's Divine Scheme, meaning,  in the same way that >Peace< is "Natural" so too, War .   I find THAT  difficult to   >> absorb<< .   Can it be said that War is "in'" our Genetic Structure , that War against other Human Beings is PRE-Determined because of our DNA ?   I don't like it .

                           Look at this :   "What has been is what will be , and what has been done will be done;  and there is nothing new under the the sun ."   [ 1: 9 ] .   We've all heard,  "What goes around, comes around".  Here it is where Cyclicity reaches a COSMIC Level that smacks of Universal Absolute .  Here it is where the Comic Cycle manifests as "reincarnation" [ The Transmigration of Soul ] .   Here it is where trump "comes around" after hitler has "been around" ,  and we are hard-pressed, after reading Ecclesiastes, to assume that both hitler and trump are "part of God's Plan" .   THAT ain't good, how COULD it be ?????

                           "Silver Lining" =  hitler was defeated, {sorta} and so will be trump .   Age will kill trump, AGE KILLS EVERYONE .   

                             Thing is, what do we do while waiting for Death to "do his job" ?

                          

No News is No News

                                                         I'm sorry, I can't wrote this morning due to computer fuck-up .

Vigil

                                                            Here's a "good one" and I quote myself : "The Same is ALWAYS-GONNA-BE Different" .  Obnoxious AND Brutal .   What are we to do, How are we to act, in  relation to the Cyclicity of All Things ????? .   One Word :    UNREMITTING VIGILANCE .   Just a kwik* Reminder :   "Vigilance" is a VIRTUE .   Time can't be Stopped nor can Evolution since Both ARE on the SAME TIMELINE .   We must be STUPENDOUSLY >>>Vigilant<<<  if we are to Advance .   Vigilance is AA >>>DOGMA<<< .    Vigilance is a Form off  Self---> PROTECTION , and as such, when properly ampLIFIED , becomes a NEXSUS for UNIVERSAL Action .   

                     Look at "IT" this way :   Life is like a garden, if the farmer is NOT VIGILANT weeds will grow and eventually render the garden USELESS .    Vigilance identifies the Problem, AND the resulting mechanism for garden HEALTH .   So simple it seems STUPID .

                    We KNOW the "World" has REJECTED trump's plea for Rescue, rightly and RWONGLY so... .   I contend that trump is just like hitler, that the WORLD needs to "step up" and DEAL with hitler trump IN THE EXACT SAME WAY .  Western Civilization created trump and so must now DEAL with him .  I do not Believe there is any other Option .

Cosmic Duality

                                                           The Bible is an aid in defining my Existence .  I have THE NEW OXFORD ANNOTATED BIBLE WITH APOCRYPHA (Expanded Edition) [Revised Standard Version] and IT has been indispensable for my Writing(s) .   I can't Imagine my Gentle Readers are without a Bible, since the Bible is an aid to Defining Civilization itself .  Modern THOUGHT has the Bible as Foundation .

                         With regard to the Cyclicity of Existence we can access the Book of Ecclesiastes for Insight .   Recall the Byrds of middle 60's R&R Tradition and their "cover" of Pete Seeger's MASTERPIECE , "To Every thing turn, turn turn" .    The entirety is found in Chapter 3 which begins with "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under the sun".  Note sentence 8 : "a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, a time for peace" ... .    {{{Scary Rite ???}}}

                         I insist ;  We never "left" hitler and hitlerism, we moved away from it, but now look at what is upon us presently, yup, it's BACK, manifested NOW as trump and trumpism .   "The more things Change, the more they stay the same."  

                         Is "IT" a Curse that CANNOT be "outlived" ?   Or is Evolution part of a COSMIC Circularity that NEEDS Negativity, so that Humans can Understand and APPRECIATE the Positive ?   Here's an OLD ONE "Ya can't have one, you can't have one WITHOUT THE OTHER" .  Why, in God's Name does this smell like BULLSHIT and taste like VOMIT ?   One Word ;  Cosmic Duality .

SIZE Matters ... .

                                                           I had to ask the Universe if Time was 'linear' or 'circular', meaning, is everything a "one-off" {"one and done"} or is there a circularity manifested as 'Seasonal Change', that is, does Time move forward and ONLY forward or is there a "one step forward and two steps backward" 'Agency' that correctly depicts Time's Movement, OR, Is Time >Cyclical< as I have just noted ?  For BuddhistS, the answer is a "no brainer", because Life itself, manifests within the CYCLE  of Birth-Death-Re-Birth, it is OBVIOUS that ALL LIFE is subject to this Universal Cyclicity and therefore Time IS Cyclical in Nature .   We say, "What goes around comes around" and the ever prominently hateful, "The  more things change, the more they stay the same."  As Humans we can detect Change because of our own experiences and even more importantly, the Experiences of Others ESPECIALLY those of History .    We say, "Time marches on" with the Belief that we are moving FORWARD in a Correct Direction, but this may be inaccurate, if we locate ourselves on a Timeline of a CIRCLE .   Marching >forward< is ACTUALLY marching on a course of >Return< .   Even this THIS is less than, meaning it is far more SAFE to argue that we are on a circular MOTION that resembles a SPIRAL whose 'end' is the Goal of Humankind, Utopia .   It is necessary to see this "Spiral" as going >UP<  where UP is AWAY from Earthly Corruption and TOWARD  Heavenly Virtue .   Please, "Try this on for size" .

"iron rusts... "

                                                          It would behoove my Gentle Readers to engage the clutch of a 'search engine' and locate both Hesiod's "Ages of Man"  and those of the Roman Great, Ovid .   Hesiod's "Works and Days" house the Ages and Ovid's "Metamorphoses" contain his .   I find it Necessary to introduce these >Ages< because they provide an Academic >Context< for the Present Conditions of Civilization .   I KNOW that "Understanding" is NOT >Enough< for the Mind to achieve Peace, but 'it' DOES provide a framework or scaffolding with which to VIEW our Position within Political Evolution .   It seems awkward  that a View of the Present can offer a View of the Future, but what is Important is that the GOAL of Civilization, which I contend to be UTOPIA, can be "Seen"  and the Trajectory of Humankind's Effort can be adjusted or altered to ensure that the Goal can be Reached .   

                           Thing is, WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE LOOKING AT HERE ?   Hesiod and Ovid are LONG-SINCE DEAD, didn't their "Iron Age" die with them ?  If not, WHY not ????? !!!!  

                            Good Question ... .

                                                           Below is Hesiod's description of the "Iron Age", one of his "Five Ages of Man" ( The Historical Stages of Human Existence ) =

          

                                The Iron Age :   "During this Age Humans live an existence of toil and misery .   Children dishonor their parents, brother fights brother, and the social contract between guest and host is forgotten .    During this Age , Might makes Right, and bad men use lies to be thought good .   At the height of this Age, Humans no longer feel shame or indignation at wrongdoing .   Zeus will end this Age when babies are born with gray hair, and the gods have completely forsaken Humanity ;  'there will be NO help against evil' " .

                                The Dates of Hesiod are 750 to 650 BC .   Hesiod, himself, believed he was in the "Iron Age" .   Call me Hesiod, I stand with HIM .

                                   

"Last of the Red Hot Burritos"

                                                           I know the past 2 weeks have been dour .   Webster's defines dour :  1 hard; stern; severe    2  obstinate    3  sullen' gloomy; forbidding .   I have transmitted  my Negativity with obstinance, and demanded my Readers to FULLY Acknowledge that We are at War .    My demands are those of War itself, those of "Situation Awareness", appropriate Strategies , and useful Tactics that MUST-BE "deployed" if We are to SURVIVE trump and trumpism, and make ANY "Headway" against his brand of FASCISM .    War DEMANDS >Changes< in the Human Psyche and these Changes require a steadfast Devotion to "What is Right, What is Good, and What is Virtuous" .   Perhaps I should have listed "Devotion to the Truth" as being FIRST,,, Freudian slip =  I took "Devotion to the Truth" as "taken for granted", although THAT is clearly suspect .   No matter  {{{at least for now}}} .

                           I awoke with a song from the Flying Burrito Brothers bouncing around in my head , the title is "My Uncle" and one  of the stanzas is as follows :   

                                             "A sad old soldier once told me a story

                                              About a battlefield he was on, 

                                             He said, "A man should never fight for Glory,

                                              But know what is Right and what is Wrong" .

                        That's "IT" rite there, the difference between Right and Wrong .   I wondered WHY that stanza had "arrived" and it's the topic of this morning's consideration .

Mountain Man

                                                            It is written that the Sage IF LUCKY, brings about Changes that Benefit Society  and if UN-LUCKY retires from the world to establish, maintain, and further Develop those Qualities that will be required, {If Humankind is to Advance} in the Future .   I'm no fan of "Luck" .   "Luck" is featured in the Musical "Guys and Dolls" but the song, "Luck Be a Lady Tonight" was most notably performed by Frank Sinatra in the early and middle 50's .   The Implication is that Luck is NOT always a "Lady" with manners and ALL the "Social Graces" but is instead a DEMON GODDESS, somewhat resembling the Hindu Goddess "Kali---the Destructress" .   In this, Luck, can be both Savage and Brutal .   

                            There's this from the I Ching :   "When the wind blows low on the Mountain, it is thrown back and spoils the vegetation .   This contains a challenge to improvement .   It is the same with debasing attitudes and fashions;  they corrupt Human Society .  To do away with this corruption the Superior Man must regenerate Society... .  The Superior Man must first remove stagnation by stirring up public opinion, as the wind stirs everything, and must then strengthen and tranquilize the character of the people, as the Mountain gives tranquility and nourishment to all that grows in its vicinity."   

                                                                       Ku  /   Work On What Has Been Spoiled 

                           I LOVE this .

                            This is me... .

Ten Years After

                                                            I sat in Chairy-Chair and let my Mind wander.......this "arrived" :  

                                     " I want to change the world, but I don't know what to do."

                 I had to think about the Source or Origin of that lyric, none was forthcoming, so I had to "Search" .    The title of the song is exactly, "I Want To Change The World" --- it was composed by Alvin Lee and performed by his Band "Ten Years After" circa 1971 {I was a Freshman at U. Conn.} .   Previously, I had no familiarity with Ten Years After until Woodstock, the Movie, was released, and Ten Years After became Famous .   The Song "haunted" me then, does so now .

                You Qids know I am an old man, some days Recall is instantaneous and VIVID, other days "IT's" a fucking Blur, wrapped in Fog and smothered in Clouds ---- .   I "Searched" for the lyrics and ... .

                                       "I want to save the World , but I don't know what to do " =   A statement of which ALL of US can relate,, but guys like me feel >IT< egregiously .   The 3rd stanza is Special :

                                        "World pollution, there's  no solution, institution, electrocution

                                           Just black and white, rich and poor, them and us

                                           WE'LL STOP THIS WAR !!!

                                           I want to change the world, but I don't know what to do

                                          SO I LEAVE IT UP TO YOU...

                                         It's called luck .

                    You can see it rite ?

                               You an see it r

PURR-FECT

                                                             Yesterday I planned to write about "The Teaching", specifically, BUDDHIST Teaching, and I was going to use Zen Master Wu Bong's words to me right before I began living in the Temple .   He had said, "Don't look for the Teaching, it is all around you."   I could see that, since, after all, I was in a Temple, so how could the Teaching NOT be "all around {me} ?   Thing is, in Buddhism,, EVERYTHING IS YOUR TEACHER, not only that, but even the simplest physical task, is also the TRAINING .   There's one thing and ONLY ONE THING that is demanded of the Willing Student and that is HUMILITY,  where Humility manifests as >Receptivity< , the Willingness to attain and "Open Mind" AND KEEP IT OPEN .   Being Humble keeps the Mind supple and pliant .

                             I wasn't satisfied that "The Teaching" was-gonna "do it" for me this morning .   I considered writing about my Kittens, Saffron and 2-Doze and what They have taught me, .   Most recently I made the Determination that "PURRING" is the Absolute Manifestation of both Contentment and Satisfaction, --- that Purring MEANS "Everything is "OK" and for us Space Age Chimps, "A--OK" .   I had to figure that PERFECT Conditions generate PURR-FECT Conditions .   My Cats PURRRRRR when they are {I'm guessing}  Happy and Content within their Knowledge that they will be fed, and Cared-for and also LOVED INTO INFINITY AND BEYOND  .   I Love them That Way .

                            And, as far as "Purring" "goes" there was an opening to add that Purring is where you want to be with your Chick, you want her to PURR because of your Love and what it does to her .    Many of Us have experienced the Bliss of Post-Coital Magnificence, and at THAT Point, there is nothing BUT >Purring< , I'm certain you Qids* agree .  

                           Still, I wasn't convinced ... .

"R&R"

                                                             I like to reserve Sundays for symptomatic "R&R", not Rock and Roll exactly, but Rest and Recovery, and for sure, some Sunday's are enhanced by Good and SUPER-Good Tunes, {we KNOW Music Heals}, but  simply listening to Music may not be enough for one's SOUL .   Elsewhere I have described "Guilt Free" Days, Days where you have TONS of work to do outdoors, BUT IT'S RAINING so, {I mean} you CAN'T .    Now you'd figure that "There's ALWAYS work to do on the Interior, cleaning, moping, dusting, blah-blah-fucking BLAH, but, WHEN YOU NEED REST YOU-GOTTA REST .   I took a Cue from a Tri-Athlete who trained HARD everyday EXCEPT Sunday, and he said, "I don't do anything on Sunday and I DO mean NOTHING " .   He added, "That even means NOT writing checks, or ANYTHING that requires movement" .  I mean, he was Training 6 hours a day six days a week......  I mean,,,,,,,,,,  there's THAT .!

                           

Lie Sense to Kill

                                                           Silence is Affirmation :  there's no other conclusion that can be reached with certainty .    Folks may not like what's going on, but that dis-like HASN'T registered ENOUGH to warrant PERSONAL Action --- and as far as THAT "goes" , States are unlikely to suspend Tax payments to the Trump Administration which would all but STRANGLE trump's  "Hold" on HIS War .   I mean, THEY COULD ...... but........ .

                         Trump IS america =  fat, lazy, stupid and VIOLENTLY belligerent .   Trump IS a MAD-MAN ,  incapable of even COMMON SENSE Reasoning, and HE IS TOO SICK to comprehend a Reality in which HE is  not the Source .    

                         When trump grumbled that he could "Shoot someone on Main Street and not get punished, HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED ON THE SPOT ,  Instead there was only silence, and this Silence manifested as "License to Kill" .  American democracy GAVE him that License .  {Lie Sense} .

                          It is written 

                                              "People get the government they deserve."  

Hamlet's Mil

                                                           Good, Honest and Decent Folks have pointed to "The States" and their Power  to 'control' Elections but I am Skeptical AND Suspicious .   Republicans 'control' 28---TWENTY-EIGHT State legislatures and only 26 States have democRAT governors .    Trump has ALREADY stationed his SS on american Streets, at american airports, and has SUCCESSFULLY commandeered ballots from DEMOCRATIC "Sites" and there is NO REASON to Believe he will NOT simply HALT the Election Results should he find himself "in the lead" .   

                              Anyone figure the Governors are-gonna send their State's National Guard to the "Rescue", to stand against Trump's SS should trump declare VICTORY and attempt to SEIZE uncounted ballots and those from our Mil who are stationed overseas  ???   2 words :   UNLIKELY !!!

                             Don't forgive my baseless projection that I AM FUCKING BRILLIANT ---years ago I stated that the ONLY REASON for republicans to gain the presidency IS FOR CONTROL OF THE MIL.   Control of the Mil GUARANTEES Control of the Nation .   Therefore it is NECESSARY for the Mil to REFUSE TRUMP'S ORDERS thereby FORCING him to relinquish the presidency .   Anyone figure THAT'S gonna happen ?????   Me neither .

                     

"Ain't Nobody..."

                                                           Few blogs that are of one sentence should be published, but here's one now :                   

                                                  From "Co-Pilot Search" :

                       "NO LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY CAN ARREST A SITTING PRESIDENT " .

"12 MORE YEARS..."

                                                           Moderns don't know what it was like during the "Oil Embargo" that existed in the early 70's, shit,,,,,,,,,  they don't know ANYTHING about any Oil Crisis because for them, IT NEVER existed {like AT ALL} .   Presently no one can even IMAGINE a Nation without enough fuel for vehicles and home heating ,   consequently, they view ANY shortage as IMPOSSIBLE .    Instead, it is HIGH PRICES that they see, and feel, somethings* that are beyond their control .   What I object to is their failure to even begin to conceptualize the abject NECESSITY to PROTEST  and PROTEST RIGOROUSLY, which means to HIT THE STREETS .    

                          Good, Honest and Decent Folks have pointed to Hungary for inspiration but THAT may only lead to "fools gold" , meaning, orban was in POWER for    SIXTEEN    FUCKING YEARS and trump has AT LEAST 3 years remaining, and guys of MY ilk, refuse to Believe that trump would WILLINGLY leave office in the way that orban did, because WHO THE FUCK IS-GONNA MAKE HIM LEAVE ???

                           There IS no one to stop trump and he knows it .

"Delirium Tremors" the so-called "DTs"

                                                           It's the MALIGNANT FAILURE of democRATS in the congress* and what seems to be CHRONIC  <dys-seriousness*< of americans who appear as 'stupefied' by gas prices but are reluctant to DO ANYTHING .   We've heard the media claim that americans are >hurting< but this 'hurt' is certainly manageable , all they-gotta do is "suck it up", and even our Fearless Leader stubbornly insists that the cost of gas is mere "peanuts" ~~~~ an ANCIENT notation that ONLY OLD AND SUPER-OLD FOLKS can remember .    In the Olden Days Of Yesteryear you could get a handful of peanuts from a gumball globe for a scant NICKLE .   {When I was 6 a nickel was BIG MONEY .}   

                       The money Brainiacs from CNBC reported that Folks are using their Credit Cards to maintain their "Life-Style", apparently figuring that the present discomfort will pass and pass kwikly* and that all they need do is to "Weather the storm" .     Ya-gotta ask, 

                                               ARE YOU SERIOUS OR DELIRIOUS ?????

                      The TRUTH is grotesquely explicit :    THERE IS NO END IN SIGHT --- Trump is MONSTROUSLY UNCONCERNED ---- he has specifically stated, "I'm in  no hurry to end the War" .   Remember, trump and his family & friends are PROFITEERING from the War, and stand to make BILLIONS in a War-generated Economy that THEY  >INFLICTED<  upon the General Public, a General Public that acts as though they were BLIND-SIDED --- simply NOT "the Case' .   

                       Trump "presented" all the Symptoms of Dictatorship in his first term .   They threw biden into his gear-works and all THAT did was interrupt trump and his machinations for BARELY a few moments ---  MORE than enough time to rebuild his machinery and replenish his fuels . ---  PLUS, his Base, roughly 30 to 40 PER CENT of Americans wanted to meet-out their PURE HATRED of democRATS which then manifested as trump's RE-Election .    

"...like tits on a bull."

                                                           When you hear democrat congressionals* say, "My colleagues across the aisle" you know, and know INSTATNTLY, that this individual has "his head up his own ass", meaning, he can't "see" a goddamn fucking thing, and besides that, ya-gotta figure, he's fucking DELUSIONAL, i.e., he chooses to reside in a mental Reality that is NOT based on Truth and certainly NOT based on the existing political conditions .    I've used this tag :UATOAB =  Useless As Tits On A Bull .    

                          It's not as if the rats* [democ-RATS] have ANY >Power< WHATSOEVER .   Recall junior high Civics:   It takes a >>>two-thirds<<< majority in both houses for a "VETO PROOF" Bill to be enacted .  2 words :  there ain't-gonna be no legislation in ANY 'near Future' that will be effective in stopping trump or even curtailing is his industries .   Congress is WHACKED and We The People are FUCKED "sideways to Sunday" .   

                          Speaking of "We the People", america* is `hurting` but NOT ENOUGH to drag Folks out of their EZ Boys and onto the Streets .   I have depicted this "hurt" as nothing but an INCONVENIENCE, an Inconvenience that manifests as "bitching, complaining and moaning and groaning? but does NOT manifest as ACTION .   I remember this line from the TV show "Roseanne" :  "I WANTED to help you with your homework, but there's SO MUCH good stuff on TV" .    Once americans refuel their vehicle, (ya-gotta figure) no more thought is given to the Expense,,,, Life goes on, lah tea dah .

D.C. Birth Canal

                                                           When trump first moved into the White House he complained to a someone-nobody that "This place is a DUMP " .    He literally, HATED the "People's House" because of its fucking AGE .   That's IT .   He was INCAPABLE of ANY "Appreciation" for its HISTORY .   When he ordered  the DEMOLITION  of the East Wing he was declaring:   THIS IS MY house .   You wanted to figure What the fuck ELSE can he do ---believing that there just COULDN'T-BE anything ELSE he could fuck with .    Sadly, SORROWFULLY , NOPE !    His "FIXATION" over the Ballroom AND the so-called Reflecting LAKE , is Unconscious, meaning I bet that even HE can't figure-out WHY these two "Items" are so fucking CRITICAL to him and the Vision of Himself .   

                         I'm figurin' the Reflecting Pool, because it is a rectangle and l---o---n---g  represents a "Birth Canal" .   Trump's manipulation and CLEANSING of this Birth Canal is PREPARATION for a new "Birth of the Republic" >>>>>>>HIS<<<<<<<<  Republic and he wants it to be something of a VIRGIN Birth, PURE and  Sanitary which would then make him, {you guessed it} ----s .

                        Ya-gotta figure that the Ballroom because of ITS shape and size, becomes a TEMPLE to HIMSELF, in the scope and range of let's say, the Parthenon .   I know I know, I just assigned 'sarcophagus' to the Ballroom , but THAT is to insinuate that the Ballroom WILL BE HIS DEATH.   BEFORE his Death, it CAN-BE considered an OLYMPIC TEMPLE, which is HOW he views himself, as a DEMI-GOD .   

The "RED SCARE"

                                                           There is general agreement that a 'system' isn't TRULY  'operational'  until it is TESTED and tested THOROUGHLY.   That  'that' MUST-BE True for MODERN Democracy as well .   Athenian Democracy DID  NOT SURVIVE and whatever little Democracy the Roman Republic employed WAS ALSO A FUCKING FAILURE.  Look at Athens NOW, take a gander at Rome and Italy >>>NOW<<< !!!   CLEARLY there's something rwong* with Democracy , and the Proof is staring us in the face, 2 words :  TRUMP .

                      Democracy is under ENORMOUS PRESSURE ---IT'S "Being Tested" as in no other Time, but WAIT---wasn't it "Under Pressure" during WWII ?????   Indeed, the WORLD "came together" to STOP hitler and hitlerism and the World was RADIOACTIVELY Successful, TO A POINT .    Success in the WORLD WAR, gave Russia impetus to Advance its own "civilization" one that was to be governed by a fucking RUTHLESS MURDERER who hid behind COMMUNISM in order to seize Power and advance HIS OWN AGENDA .   But here's the Deal with that .   We KNOW that hitlerism WAS NOT EXTINCTED*, that >IT< as survived and continues to PLAGUE Humankind FROM BEYOND ITS GRAVE !    Did Democracy REALLY Win ???????   I hazard, no fucking way,  hitlerism somehow fucking MUTATED to Communism and CONTINUED in america as "THE RED SCARE" and with that, the fucking KOREAN WAR .   

Imadgination

                                                          You'd like to figure that there would be a LIMIT on just how much SHIT american Citizens can EAT before they VOMIT .    It's as if THERE IS NO LIMIT !!!  Americans are "carrying on" like trump's LOOTING of the Treasury is just "ho" fucking "hum" --- that his PLUNDERING is all part of the `NU`  american SYSTEM, that as long as the Reflecting >>>LAKE<<< is getting cleaned and painted ALL IS WELL .   I hate it, I fucking HATE It.

                          Initially, I allowed my self to think that trump's Ballroom would be his >>>coffin<<< --- that every nail, every re-rod, every steel "I" beam, was just another "nail in his coffin", that the construction of this HIDEOUS MONSTROSITY would be his "Death" .   I've come off of that thinking, and prefer the word >sarcophagus< because of my predilection for 'all things Ancient' .   Also I allowed my Imagination to run WILD and IT "saw" trump as building a bunker, that would protect him and his from an ARREST should he lose the 28 pres. Election .  I'm figurin' he learned from Orban who openly surrendered his presidency in the face of MASSIVE Citizen Malcontent .   

                         Folks who have an "active Imagination" are said to possess "a Rich Interior Life" .   I am fucking WEALTHY >>> BEYOND MEASURE<<< and I want trump's Sarcophagus to be his fucking PRISON !!!!!!!!!!!!!   I want him ARRESTED and "PERP-WALKED" Into is gold asylum where he is to be under "House Arrest" FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE  IFF HE LIVES THAT LONG .   

                           Not only am I in possession of an active Imagination I also have a SUPER-Active 

                                                             I-MAD-GINATION .  

                           I-mad-gination {I am tooooo qute} .

                      

"Let them eat FAKE"

                                                           Americans are "getting taken to the cleaners" and still,  there is NO "Public Outcry", at least, not yet .   "Getting taken to the cleaners" MEANS paying an EXORBITANT price for work that seems as if it SHOULDN'T be expensive at all .  Weirdly, "IT" has nothing to do with getting "cleaned" .   Trump has created a "Slush Fund" that he plans to "give away" to his MOST LOYAL Supporters, simply to REWARD THEM for said Loyalty .   Blanche, the AG [ACTING Attorney General] sat in front of a Congressional "Over-sight" Committee and delivered one BOLDFACE LIE after another, I mean with a straight face, claiming EVERY U.S. Citizen could petition the stewards of this Slush Fund if they felt they'd be RWONGED by the IN-Justice Department and, {so now} I wonder if those funds will be made available to the Epstein Victims, who, MORE THAN ANY,  Deserve, THEIR "Portions" of

                                                        ONE BILLION . 776 MILLION bucks .

                         I wrote what follows a day or two ago .

                                                 In Ancient Egypt it was ONLY THE RICH who RAIDED the granaries .                                                       One woman of Nobility expressed utmost contempt when she snided, 

                                               "Of what use do the Poor have for food ?"

"BACK to the Future"

                                                           OBVIOUSLY the "Page" that the "Left" wants is the "Declaration of Independence".   ONE "Page" versus the ENTIRE BIBILE .   Logic DICTATES :   the Left Page is "for" HUMANKIND'S "Desire" for EARTHLY {Righteous} Attainment{ an Attainment that manifests as GOOD Government}  whereas the Right Page is "for" EARTHLY CONTROL OF HUMANKIND AND THE ELIMINATION OF THOSE UNBELIEVERS .   You can see the Problem.   The Desire for the elimination of Unbelievers MANIFESTED in the Crusades .   GOD was "invoked" to give AUTHORITY to Armies who Killed, Mutilated and SLAUGHTERED  hundreds of thousands , IN THE NAME OF GOD.   Sadly, I know of this because I was a Templar .

                             There is a moribund rapacity to the Crusades, certainly sickening,, bordering on Abomination.   Note that the 3rd Crusade was during the zenith of the Holy Roman Empire, (1189 to 1192 and 1155 to 1190 respectively) and that "IT" was "all downhill" from there .   Martin Luther delivered the 95 Thesis in 1517,,,  247 years after the last Crusade and all but ended the last vestiges of the Holy Roman Empire and DESTROYING Christianity in that present Form .   Hello Reformation ,  Greetings from Earth .

                             {Because I am 'me'}  I find it polemically necessary to equate Iran's "IRGC" to ameirca's CR .   BOTH Desire Theocratic DOMINATION of an entire NATION and Both have but little regard for what can be proffered as "Universal Rights" .   

                              We're in the fucking middle of a Holy {fucking}  War .  

                              Once again we are "BACK to the Future" .

Unforgiveable

                                                           The CR [Christian Right] wants us "on the same page" but we MUST ask, WHICH   Page ?   The CR would have us believe that "IT" is the Beatitudes,  Buddha's, Jesus' "Sermon on the Mount" , but even when one reads the Beatitudes, Questions arise .   What if the "page" and "Pages" are those in the Pentateuch [Torah] {the first Five Books of Genesis} ???   Are we to ask exactly WHICH God is the Reference Point ?   Is it the Wrathful and VENGEFUL God of the Old Testament ??? the one of FIRE and BRIMSTONE , the One who DROWNED almost the ENTIRE Planetary  Population  ???  Or is it the God >>>>JESUS<<<<< who delivered unto Us the Beatitudes ???? !!!!!  Ya-gotta wonder.............or DO you ???????

                            If the CR wants "IT" to be Jesus they have gone "astray"... but if "IT" 's  Old Testament God, then they are running pell-mell down the Path to Perdition, { "...[Archaic] complete and irreparable loss; ruin   2) [Theological]  a.  loss of Soul; damnation,,  HELL }  .   The so-called "Passion" of the Christ-to-Be, reveals Jesus' MISERY that is own Flock REFUSED to Believe that the Kingdom of HEAVEN was the SPIRITUAL Goal of "Life-on-Earth" and  NOT the Kingdom of EARTH, of which ROME had PHYSICALLY .   Jews wanted the Rule of Rome to be ANNIHILATED by the Power of the All MIGHTY, and when Jesus DID NOT DELIVER they were fucking CRUSHED .   In a move that pre-dated Ford's PARDON of nixon , Jesus PARDONED the materialistic Jews with, "Forgive them Father, they know not what they do" .    But beware of this :  in  MODERN TIMES "Ignorance of the Law IS NOT AN EXCUSE" . 

                           Materialistic Jews GOT "IT" RWONG*.   The CR "Jews" are no different .

Genesis as Nemesis

                                                           Part of my {make-believe} Job is to try and "Make Sense" "out of" the garbage and shit-laden debris generated by news and Broad Casts whose Chaos and Tumult cause unremitting Confusion, at Best, and at Worst, a DEEP and PROFOUND >>>Cynicism<< a Cynicism that seeks to Destroy Faith, not only in ANY Political System but even the very Heart and SOUL of Human Beings who BELIEVE that there ARE "Certain Inalienable RIGHTS"  that MUST-BE >Advanced< if Humankind is to achieve "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" .   

                          The Right, and I capitalize >R< in Right, to express an Ideology that is  NOT based upon Virtue, Integrity, Dignity and Spiritual Nobility, but rather, on Hatred, Fear, Loathing and Cruelty .   It is SAFE to identify the so-call >CHRISTIAN< >Right< as none other than the KKK but clad in Suits instead of hoods and cloaks .   It is also SAFE to declare that the CR [Christian Right] is in the midst of a "Crusade", and I use >Crusade< rather than Jihad, although THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE .   The CR wants the establishment of Christianity into PUBLIC Education, and by dint of Proximity, into Government, where it ALREADY exists in its monetary manifestation, [ "In God We Trust" ] .   

                          The CR is DEMANDING that america* be viewed as a "CHRISTIAN NATION",  IN THE EXACT SAME WAY THAT IRAN IS CONSIDERED A MUSLIM NATION.   Here we have "Rule by Religion" and the word for that is THEOCRACY .  

Pages

                                                           I began blogging as an Effort to >contribute< to the Advancement of Civilization, in the way that Great and SUPER-Great Minds >Contribute< to the Enrichment of Society and Culture through their  (...) Works .    It may be said that Buddhists are  NOTORIOUS for their refusal to Proselytize, preferring instead the Time Tested "Word-of-mouth" "introductions"  which, for all intents and purposes, can be labeled or tagged as [the] Oral Transmission :  in this, I wanted to introduce my Gentle Readers to Buddhism, and more specifically, Zen .   Buddhism is hardly "esoteric" but Zen ?????

                               Like all other Religions, and Paths, Zen offers a "Way to View Reality" and a subsequent "System" to live in Reality .   Remember, "We Create our own "Perceptual Reality" , as if, IT is the Primary Reality of Human Beings in Society, Culture and as a matter of Course, Civilization .   

                                Religion offers a Way to get "On The Same Page", meaning, a National Religion would ENSURE that RELIGION is the binding Force of Government and, not only that but is the Root and Source of ALL Governmental Authority .   In the case of american* white* nationalism* there is RIGOROUS Effort to impose ITS >PAGE<  the Pages of the Bible, onto the american General Public .   You can see the Problem,  exactly WHICH Pages are to be featured which "left out" and which are simply abandoned ??!?

                               

Miss Spoke

                                                           It ain't like I was going anywhere, I liked baseball, football, and hockey and participated with enthusiasm, and, initially, the only reason I studied, in junior high and high school was so I could 'do' varsity sports, since there was an Academic Requirement .   I refer my Gentle Readers to the blogs about my 6th Grade teacher, Mr. Lyons, who wrote a note to my parents warning them that I was under-challenged, that I should be preparing to be a "Scholar Athlete" whose "mission" should-be, to attend college ---blah--blah--blah--   .   It provoked my parents ESPECIALLY my  mother {who had a 6th grade education like BARELY} --- as a result my desk got  moved from SUPERIOR CLOUD WATCHING STATION to FRONT SEAT nearest the hall .   I was fucking MISERABLE .  2 words :   KARMA .

                              When I rode the bus in Grade School, I saw that some of my classmates lived in THEIR-OWN House, they weren't Renters as were my folks, they had money .    They dressed different... .   "IT" got worse in High School,  new bus ride --- not houses but MANSIONS .   What the fuck were these ASSHOLES doing by "going to" a PUBLIC SCHOOL ?   I kept to myself ... .

                               I may never rid myself of Unconscious and Subliminal Resentment... .

                               I have issues .

Miss Givings

                                                           It has been reported that "Americans are Suffering at the gas pump", two words" Yup, but does that Suffering drive them to Protest ?   No it does not .  I have bitched that NOT ENOUGH americans are Suffering, yeah we had 8 mil the last time, but a BIG FUCKING DEAL IT WAS NOT .   The Stock Market is presently UN-EFFECTED, meaning, rich folks can manage and manage easily the Nu cost of Living .   I gave the tag --> Inconvenient<-- to describe their >"IT< .    

                             It's UN-SCIENTIFIC to "blame" the Upper Middle Class, the FILTHY RICH and the SQUALOR WEALTHY , but their DEVOTION to themselves AND NO ONE ELSE , is Cause for GREAT CONCERN for Democracy since the Redistribution of Wealth is what maintains  a HEALTHY Democracy and its manifestation  --->   Government .   

                            ALL OF US have walked by a brand new Mercedes Benz parked right below a "NO PARKING" Sign .   We KNOW they could give a rats ass over some picayune triviality like 50 bucks .   I HATE THEM FOR THAT :    using Money to be ABOVE the Law, that is above OUR LAW .   

                                          

                                        OUR LAWS DON'T MEAN SHIT TO THEM !

Don't Fear the Reader

                                                           To this day I agonize over whether or not to divulge biographical information, normally, I do so with utmost Reluctance, since autobiographical writing  FORCES the Reader to "indulge" in MY History, even if it means to provide them with suitable background content {context} that will promote Understanding .   It gets worse, so much worse :   I FEAR that should the Reader "Get to Know Me"  {  Jon Lovett, Saturday Night Live }  they will be repulsed enough to abandon my writing perhaps to find one more "charitable" to their own Attention .    When my guy and HERO Dr. William James, was writing his VOLUME on Psychology he had doubts and misgivings that the Work way too GIANT in Size.   After consulting with his Editor, he pared it down to what was then considered manageable for the Reader, and therefore Appropriate for Publication .   He simply excised his OPINIONS, and "Personal" SHIT, leaving the REAL DEAL on the pages, unbiased SCIENTIFIC Formulations and the like, an Effort that gave him IMMENSE Satisfaction .  I LOVE Him for that, but his Editing became a model for me, a paradigm so to speak, and IT has "stayed with me" ever-since .

"I get my back into my Living"...

                                                           Another american* weekend without a Protest .   Do american's even CARE ?   I don't think so because IF they did, they would protest -- the Premise being, unhappy people PROTEST .   Unhappiness CLEARLY does  NOT lead to Protest .   Folks don't CARE because the War DOES NOT EFFECT THEM .   Some folks argue that folks don't Care because they CAN'T Care .    They can't risk their jobs, jobs where even ONE day of absence from their job imposes HUGE effects on weekly finances .  These are the Good Folks who make  an HONEST living , working with their Hands and Bodies to EARN their paycheck "the old fashioned way" .   Is that to say that folks who use their Heads DON'T "make an >honest<  living" ?    I mean, there are those of us who "get our backs into our living" and those who sit on their fat fucking asses all day EVRYDAY yet draw a paycheck that may be twice or three TIMES the amount, probably MUCH MORE .    These are the same people that "look down" on those of us who actually get dirty during the course of a day, whereas they remain clean and fucking SPOTLESS.  Simply stated, Manual Labor is LOW CLASS , for the uneducated, and under-educated .

                            Believe me ----I am EXCRUCIATINGLY Aware of HOW this reads .   

                             In the 70's EVERYONE had a view on the Vietnam War and these "Views" made it to the Street in this form :  

                                       "If you ain't part of the Solution you are part of the Problem ."

This got bastardized ;

                                         "If you ain't part of the Solution, YOU  ARE   THE PROBLEM".

Taiwan

                                                           I Fear for Taiwan .    I believe it is doomed .   I urge my Gentle Readers to learn why Taiwan is so Important to the World .   The End of Taiwan came when putin annexed Crimea WITHOUT WORLD INTERVENTION.  The world didn't do a goddamn fucking thing to putin signaling to China    TAIWAN IS ALL YOURS  .   Taiwan has 2 chances at Survival, they are "Slim" and "None" .   

                          Xi's treatment of trump has nothing but ANCIENT CHINESE CONTEMPT "written all over it" .   When trump stood beside xi for photographs all you could see on xi's face was UTTER REVULSION .   Trump is UNCLEAN and you could see, and see CLEARLY xi considered trump to be VASTLY INFERIOR ,  nothing more than a walking, rotting,  corpse who is a grotesque PUPPET for the american filthy rich and squalor wealthy .   You could tell that xi HATED standing side-by-side with an addled  geriatric who shits his pants like an un-potty-trained child .   

                          I FEAR for Taiwan ------------I believe it is doomed .

The Granary

                                                           Trump is STEALING FROMTHE TREASURY intending to GIVE THE INSURRECTIONISTS >>>>>>>>>>>PAYMENT<<<<<<<<<<<<<< FOR THEIR RIOT AND TAKEOVER OF THE CAPITOL .

                                      Here is my favorite quote about such a grotesque manifestation of Greed .

                                  In Ancient Egypt only the SUPER-WEALTHY >>>RAIDED<<<< THE  GRANARIES .    A supposed Noble-Woman scorned, 

                                       

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

"Ballroom BLITZ"

                                                           The Name of the Smartest Pig, the RAZOR-BACK Boar, was Steve the Swineherd , the name mis-derived from "Eumaeus" the Swineherd of The Odyssey, who did NOT recognize Odysseus but treated him with Respect EVEN THOUGH ODYSSEUS WAS DRESSED AS A BEGGAR .  Here is Street Virtue, also recognized as Street NOBILITY .  But I digress ... .

                         Steve the Swineherd sought to trap the Wolf and was RELENTLESS in this endeavor .   He needed a structure that would CONTAIN the Wolf with the Intention of REHABILITATING the Wolf in case there was a FIRE that his MIGHTY BLOWS could DISSIPATE  .    Smart Thinking .... .

                         But what would this Structure "Look Like" ?   Steve the Swineherd Thought and Thought until one day EUREKA !!!!!!!!!!!!   Steve the Swineherd wouldn't build just ANY Trap  no it had to be SPECIAL -----

                                                   Steve the Swineherd decided to build a BALLROOM and it would be FILLED with {{{{fake}}}} Gold EVERYWHERE .   The Wolf COULDN'T RESIST ,   Steve the Swineherd KNEW IT .  He had a Plan and now all he truly NEEDED was the World's Endorsement followed by the World's Contributions .   At first the World complained, but Steve the Swineherd was Pig-Headed and retorted

                                                        "BUILD IT AND HE WILL COME" .  

                       Oh my, oh my, oh my... .

"This Little Pig---> WENT TO COLLEGE"

                                                           Some Guys flaunt that they have "The Eye of the Tiger", I mean, BIG FUCKING WHOOP , not only do I have "The Eye of the SQUIRREL" I have the SNOUT of the Boar, and not just ANY Boar, but a RAZOR-BACK BOAR .   I know-I know--that's makes me "Pig-Headed" but I confess , I REVEL IN MY PIG-HEADEDNESS .   Perhaps I shouldn't but fuck-it .

                             The Pigs could migrate and relinquish their Land---still doesn't help, the Wolf can STILL  track them if he so wanted .   No ----- what else ???

                             They could POISON the Wolf, i.e., have him ingest a TOXIC Substance that KILLS him [like FOR GOOD] but suppose the Pigs are PACIFISTS and diametrically OPPOSED to the "Death Sentence" ?   It's no doubt in MY Mind that the Pigs are BUDDHISTS and that the SMARTEST Pig just happens to be a ZEN BUDDHIST and so Killing ain't even anywhere NEAR "the Table" {or Sacrificial Altar as the case may or may not be} .   It's gotta be "something else" .

                            We KNOW that the Smartest Pig is an ACCOMPLISHED Mason, that his Engineering Skills are Marked if not PROFOUND .   What HE could do is 'BUILD A TRAP' that would house the Wolf AWAY from their Fields and Dwellings .   Of course it would be constructed from bricks and concrete, somethings* for which HE MUST ASK THE OUTSIDE WORLD TO SUPPLY .  Good thing this Smart Pig has been introduced to Pericles, Cicero and Sallust while he was "at college" .    He needs his Oratory to PERSUADE the Outside World that their "involvement" benefits ALL !!!

                           

A Pig in Wolf's Clothing

                                                           I {mistakenly} find myself as being 'prideful' of having an 

                                                               E--X--T--E--N--S--I--V--E

shelf of Children's Literature but when I went to locate "The Nursery Rhymes of England"  "IT" wasn't among those  Books -----  which caused me chagrin and mortification.   No matter, it's NICE to have full context but for today's Effort it is unnecessary .   

                        The construction of a FORTRESS does NOT satisfy the demand for COMPLETE RESOLUTION, meaning, despite having PROTECTION--- the Wolf, MISTER FEAR, remains ON SITE .   Terror still Exists ,   he may not be able to "Blow" a house down, BUT HIS PRESENCE REMIANS AS PROHIBITIVE ,  the Pigs CANNOT "go outside",  in THIS the Wolf has "Won" if winning means the utter and complete ANNHILATION of Pig MENTAL Defense .  You can see the Problem. 

                                            In order for there to be COMPLETE and TOTAL Peace

                                                     

                                                THAT FUCKING WOLF HAS GOT TO GO !!!

                                                             Question is HOW ?????

"Don't Fear the Reefer"

                                                          The song, "Don't Fear The Reaper" arrived in 1976 , on the vehicle of "Blue Oyster Cult" and Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser .   The title was kwikly, bastardized, {mauled, mutilated and perverted} to "Don't Fear the REEFER" ,   a delightful "Knock" on one of Reality's "Doors" .   Trump, in may ways, IS, in fact, "The Grim Reaper",,  that is, a man of Death and Destruction that appears to have inviolable  AGENCY, the Same as that of say, Hades, and in Indian Folklore, Kali the Destructress* .    One can argue that trump, almost singlehandedly, DESTROYED American Democracy and OVER-TURNED the World's Status Quo, so that, "Up is down, and down is Up" .   Trump did NOT "Kill Truth" .   

                             Trump "presents" as Fear, itself .   We have resorted to FDR's Statement of Resolve, "We have nothing to Fear, but Fear itself."  Thing about THAT is, Fear, like Truth, KILLS .   

                             Trump is none-other than "The Big Bad Wolf" who constantly bellows, "I'LL HUFF AND I'LL PUFF, AND I'LL BLOOOOOOOW YOUR HOUSE DOWN" .   Of course, if you're one of the Three Little Pigs, you are TERRIFIED .   But recall that Tale, the smartest and brightest Pig builds a FORTIFICATION THAT CAN WITHSTAND THE MIGHTY BLASTS FROM THE LUNGS OF THAT GIANT FUCKING MONSTER .   I mean, shit, he could have simply MOVED AWAY to a Distant Land where the BB Wolf is UNKNOWN --- but he STAYED and delivered a brick and mortar FUCK YOU .   But was THAT ------------>  Enough ???????????????????    

"March Madness"

                                                           When I argue that the WORLD must be ACTIVATED in order to 'get trump under control' I {fucking} KNOW how deeply BIZARRE  "IT" reads .   I can't help myself .   You Qids* KNOW I prefer the Simplicity of Children's Literature and all its "Simplicism"* {sounds better than Simplicity, and actually includes an agency for movement} to explain complex and sometimes convoluted Socio-Political Realities .   {My mother was taken out of 6th grade so she could work as a maidservant .   She could barely read and could not write .  When I got to college I knew there'd be a GULF to cross if I wanted to explain ANYTHING to her, so I vowed that I would do everything in my power to help her understand, and  if that meant REDucing things to their elemental and rudimentary origins, so that she could understand, then so be it .}    

                           I look at the CLUSTERFUCK in which we are enmeshed ALMOST inextricably  and note that This Same is where We were during hitler's  MARCH [of] MADNESS .   It took THE WORLD to STOP HITLER.   I argue it is THE WORLD which must STOP trump .
