Gods Little Jokes

Gods Little Jokes It's interesting that our president represents the real attitudes, beliefs, values of the American public. It seems a good rationale for understanding the misgivings of democrats and other liberals to do more than complain about real policies. In trumps recent meeting with several small African leaders his purpose seemed to be to trade "aid" for gold, minerals and any other attainable resources. He actually believes he is not just king of America but king of the world. To me that's what is so amazing. His revolution and believe me brothers and sisters it is a revolution in the making, and even if it never is completed, it will be generations before these values will even begin to disappear. As soon as America became nationalistic, which wasn't to hard to do since other nations have always grown more imperial rather than democratic over time as they became more "supremacist" in their promotion of their religions, races (ethnic makeup),...

The Universe

The universe looks pretty good from here. Why do we want to go mess everything up out there too? We just want to fick everything up. There's already a stratospheric layer of scrap metal and radioactive waste circling above us ready to fall anytime gravity says so. I know a few artists that would love to turn that into something more akin to art rather than leaving it chicken little artifice. The sky is falling. Or it will be. Trump. The Prince. Netanyahu may be the harbingers of evil we've been secretly waiting for but don't recognize until it's too late or all three have that stupid glazed look of ignorance and hate and crooked smiles to boot. If there's any Jew in America who is still thankful for the 1948 Accords that gave Israel a homeland and the reason to isolate themselves from the outside world with walls, there will be many neo fascists who will shake their hand for lending a helping hand in the biggest suicide mission in history outside of lemming biologi...

Revolution

I hear there's screaming in the street,  Sirens and horns signifying retreat Don't let the bloody banner hit the ground The revolutions finally come to town There'll be plenty of time to suffer later. Once the tyrants hit the ground. Don't take their heads for they only grow another. Just make them suffer then turn them loose without their wallets. Be humble about your revenge.

Below, I am republishing something I ran across on internet while looking for co-operatives/collaborationst/ different types of community that I feel the alternative progressive world needs to endorse for any type of revolution. And Revolution is the key word here. How these (largely middle class) communities are organized or how they vote is not important here. This is an example of what needs to be done worldwide, the development of real sustained community un-reliant on state, national interests, like the quakers or other farming communities, such as Amish, without the reliance on religion or national politics for its internal organization. There is no doubt in my mind that unless we (progressives, anti-violence, freedom loving people) have to eat and we have to work, and we have to live in accordance with our values and beliefs and still leave room for those who don't share some of our values, BUT those natural divisions shouldn't interfere nor destroy social cohesion. And,...

Recant the incantation.

Recant the incantation. I've been watching and listening to alot of you tube dissenters, but mostly the Young Turks, who I actually like most of the time but recently they had an episode trying to recycle the "I love America, but not what America does" incantation in order to alleviate concerns, I suppose, of regular people who listen to their righteous spiel, yet think they may be anti-American as well as anti-Semitic. Frankly, I don't know what America is. It's kind of like Gertrude Stein's statement about Oakland, "There is no there, there." Don't get me wrong, I like Oakland in the same way I think of America. I lived there and live here in America. I born here, my parents born here, and eventually, as for us all, and I mean all, go back far enough and all our ancestors born somewhere else. Whether by land bridges, boats, by foot path, air, and ambition, we have all come here, tried to live here, made here in spite the unnatural obstacles th...

If you look, meaning read, or know, about cosmology

If you look, meaning read, or know, about cosmology, and new theories of universes, and black holes, you'd realize that infinity and God and everything we can see through the lens of both telescopes and microscopes have nothing to do with us. The chances that there is someone like you with almost the exact DNA is both obscure and a surety, that's how random it all is. And how unnecessary any of us are in the real scheme of things. With that in mind, I can say we aren't really a nation of law and order but a cosmology of beliefs, both true and untrue, time worn out traditions and false assumptions and unfortunately there is a small amount of people who are willing to admit this or realize its consequences. Human societies, especially the most authoritarian, those who completely disregard any legitimized law and are skeptical, which they should be, any commonsense law have so bound their citizenry with the ropes of legalities, making it impossible for most common people to ev...

Shame

Shame Here's one problem with democrats and democrat constituents. Shame. I don't feel sorry for those who don't vote because they are ashamed to vote on benefit type of issues. Medicade, Snap. Social Security, Free public education. Regulations to protect the health, and, possibly the most important, vote to protect the constitutional rights of due process and justice for all. If you can't arise above lessor issues, such as the ones that only affect you, to unite over the most important issues of your lifetime, then so be it. Don't be ashamed. Being on food stamps, other benefits, disability payments, homeless, because you are a part of this society as much as anyone. The truth has become, along with freedom of speech, like a sack full of kittens thrown into the swamp. There is plenty of reactive, oppositional talk to every notorious and anti-humanitarian political lesson out there, but, sadly, we are trapped in what scientists might describe as a heat dome, trans...
