All these institutions controlled by the “capital” class are manifestations of the advance of world wide totalitarianism. In other words, it’s worse than you think. When ADAM SMITH wrote The Wealth of Nations, the world was in a far different mode. Nations, the banking industry, the control of resources were all certainly established but not on an international scope. Sanctions, blockades, and localized warfare were in the mix but it took the worldwide industrial (read technology) revolution to supply a worldwide reason for consolidation, along with the development of worldwide communication systems so companies, government collusion could be enhanced. Governments could and did begin to react to any political adversarial relationships in any region of the world that could possibly hinder the advancement of their imperial interests. Imperialism, capitalism, colonialism rather than being mundane historical antiquarian principles became the basis for ethnic cleansing, genocide, and exaggerated manipulation of the worst mankind had to offer at a moral level. The economic strangulation of countries also became a tool to control. We are seeing it in the modern world, at least the obvious instances, such as Cuba, Iran, Venezuela, but the part we don’t see is the near majority of nations who over time have become indebted to the owners of every nation state. No nation is exempt from this much universal crushing of freedom, though freedom among nations is practically nonexistent, inside domestic freedoms are more like living in a glass bubble rather than actually living free. Freedom itself has suffered the most, because now freedom is more about any individual's desires than it is about the acceptance of other's differences between you and them. Taking away, hindering, and even hating the others freedom becomes a freedom in itself, thus full circle we come around to eating our own tail. The freedom of the government has always been the purpose of the nation state, whether it be kings, princes, strong man dictators or so-called reasonable Age of Reason aristocrats. It’s ironic that we the commoners of any nation come to believe that our struggle is to change the present in our favor against a system designed to make sure that doesn’t happen. Sent from my iPad

And so it was that later in its life,

And so it was that later in its life, it sunk to the lowest levels, it looked into its past to see if anyone It knew had done anything worthwhile, at least, worthwhile enough to have been recognized by any major news source, ( oh yes, it more than understood that it may be a much too relative criteria for acknowledgement of success) or really any notable consequence or notoriety, from serial killer to "quietest woman on earth" ribbon at the Macon, Georgia county fair would be considered infamous. It would be journalistically spurillist to expose the final reports because of the new rule of journalistic ideas are ordered in such a way to keep the truths a mystery, inadmissible as evidence in any court ruling. No, it's true that no one ("no one" being a purely no brainer to statisticians) should ever have to look at truth and believe they understand it. For some reason, it is aware that what's wrong with the world isn't virtual reality but age old unproven nor unrealistic traditions, from the likes of witches, brujos, religious fanatics, perfectionists and idealists, or billionaires, the world has its own mind, made up of swelling oceans, low lying deserts, thunderstorms, hurricanes as well as soft breezes, cool nights, pleasant afternoons, and rain in its ways of thinking. Although many armies will be turned back and defeated by snow, mud, natures perseverance, they will carry on with their mission, die for their cause, all for bloody naught, because when memory, which keeps so many alive between life and deaths, is gone, there's no one who can venture outside with only their own Truth as a guide and triumph over a Lie. Sorry folks, that's where we are, can't be denied nor verified. Why is it considered relevant to want to be in a science fiction movie, besieged by the same imaginary monsters created here on earth. I like it when you (or anyone) can Start anywhere and end up somewhere else, but at the same time go nowhere and everywhere. Conclusion: no one I ever loved, friend, lover, wife (which is different than lover or friend but has a category of its own), acquaintance, nor co-worker, bar friend, more or less anyone and everyone I spent any time with at all, universally, hasn't amounted to more than an obituary. No one ever wants to die, there’s always a hope and chance for some sort of miracle that may give us one more day, month or year. For some I suppose it’s the children that bear the futures burden. Maybe for them, there will be a miracle, and they won’t have to wave goodbye to someone else as they escape into the new frontier, going where no one has gone before, where no one cares about what’s been left behind.

By the time I was thirty I had stripped nearly all artificiality and humanity from my consciousness, although I understood underneath still lay the quick sand muck of socialization and instinct. I thought that would be okay, after all, residue, rust, and dust is the natural order of all physics.

By the time I was thirty I had stripped nearly all artificiality and humanity from my consciousness, although I understood underneath still lay a quicksand muck of socialization and instinct. I thought that would be okay, after all, residue, rust, and dust is the natural order of all physics. I remembered my first real girlfriend and I talking one day about what we wanted to be or have when we reached thirty. I don’t know why thirty was important, but I guess that was about how far along in life we could think of ourselves before we started getting old. She wanted to be a millionaire and I wanted to be a doctor or a saint. I have to laugh at that now, imagining what it would have taken to be either one. She was smarter, money was a simple object to gain some happiness out of life. She didn’t care how she got it or where it came from, from her own creativity or by just being pretty and available. I had plenty of conversations with god, or Jesus, and maybe, as I discovered later, a little misogyny probably prevented me from conversing with the Blessed Virgin Mary, maybe out of shyness, thinking how complicated it could be, being a virgin and a mother, with god as the father. Still, those were the good old days. Nostalgia can be nourishing at times. That’s one realization I’ve come to, the Principle of Lasting Peace, from which Nostalgia is derived. You might not see that now, but you will a little further on. 

Anyway, she did become a millionaire and I didn’t even make it to Australia, which was the second thing we both wanted to do in our lifetimes. I went a lot of other places but not there. There is an indigenous culture there that is one of the homeliest people in the world. Yes, that’s just my standard of a certain kind of beauty, but I’m pretty inclusive when it comes to accepting most of the six billion people on this earth of ours. I really love humanity and all it has to offer in such a basic way but, once I get down to what they’re all about, the bad far outweighs, or should I say, dominates the good. Like I was saying, by thirty I had accepted that fact. I didn’t relish that because deep down in that residue I mentioned before, there is a semblance of belief that there is always a chance humanity could find its balance between being suckers for the godhead and the philosophy, “money talks and bullshit walks.” I suppose that’s Hope. Hope is the belief that in every truth, there can be found, if one looks hard enough, a kernel of optimism among the many dire warnings that life produces. In fact truth itself is inherently a realization that for every action there is a reaction, truth or consequences, right and wrong, a contradiction. Or wrong time, right place or vice versa.

Genocide is a spectator sport

Genocide is a spectator sport Like everything else. I think we’re all going to find out what it was like living in Roman times when gladiators and Roman armies entertained the pre tv audiences of the day. When smoke rose from the chimneys of Auschwitz and Dachau, when Gaza, Armenians, Romanians, Rwandans, Serbs, indigenous peoples in every nook and cranny of the earth, all of them valiant, valor, honorable for the kings of money. We’ve accepted all this in our name. We hear and see it all, like an incessant drumbeat and dance, pounding throughout our nights, flashes of light like the sun going off and on, something’s coming, it calls us by the names we were given when time began.

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 Steins 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 was born here, my parents born here, and eventually, as for us all, and I mean all, go back far enough, and all of our ancestors born somewhere else, back to Africa, our Mother Eve. Whether by land bridges, boats, by foot path, air, and ambition, we have all come here, tried to live here, been made here in spite of the unnatural obstacles thrown up in front of us by false pretenses, lies, promises, and all the incantations of the mystical, cultist, political systems we live under. So, America to me is the Grand Canyon, places like that. Nativism means nothing to me. If there's anything left of a native/indigenous "place" on this earth, it has been usurped, corrupted, misused, abused by sometimes the native as well as the settlers and colonists, themselves. The land is free, it's just as Rousseau said, "When the first person built a fence or wall, and the rest walked around in deference to that fence, that "ownership" by King, Prince, or wealthy man, we all became some sort of slave and serfs and working for others rather than for ourselves, we all became owned. If there is an America like what people say they believe in, like a personality, like they have made God, presidents, and other authoritarians, it is something with a fence or wall between you and your freedom. I'd rather believe in the Grand Canyon version. Sent from my iPad

When it comes to fear, all it takes is a pedophile

When it comes to fear, all it takes is a pedophile breaking into a house with two young girls in any city two hours away, or a legal, peaceful protest of thousands that is taken over by a hundred violent assholes in any city with five million inhabitants. It's all about proportion and who are the observers, which most of the world and nation is, yet what the government of your nation does to anyone is a ok, doesn't flutter your heart one iota. We're either going to have the largest humanitarian tribunal on genocide and the breaking of what is, euphemistically speaking, "international law" or eventually realize, that the legal and political terms describing the many faceted fake diamond of democracy has turned out to be flawed or based on nonexistent criteria altogether. Don't forget, the simpleton who breaks Windows or burns forests isn't going to listen to a post revolution tribunal asking everyone to maintain peaceful coexistence with their neighbor because there will always be those who believe that cooperation, collaboration itself is anti-freedom or too authoritarian. Calling the kettle black in comparison is the equivalent of a relevancy of evil, or as has been said, evil is mundane rather than dramatic. Another thing most of us forget is that the human race has always had slavery, oppression, genocide and probably extinction on its hands. Every culture, ethnic group, race on every continent, has condoned and accepted atrocities. If progeny consciousness is real, that is if you pride yourself, or take pride in your nation, race, ethnicity, religion, you still have blood on your hands. It's the fraternity syndrome. If the tribunals don't ever happen, it's apparent that words or terms, such as genocide, international law, humanitarian law, Justice, are mere euphemisms for racketeering and corruption rather than idealistic principles by which we can try to live. The entire human species has been trying to find the way to get the 10% of its population to cooperate with whatever it's doing at one time or another. Burn them, kill them, incarcerate them, ignore them, let God sort it out, after all that Let there be light magic. By the way, idealism is dead, God is dead, and the only thing left is incarcerate them. Sent from my iPad

Change

Change

The democrats nor the left has anything to offer in the way of change.

I probably shouldn’t compare the democrats to the left but when you realize that, like in other one party states, both major parties in America merely reflect the right, center, and left of one party, call it the American Big Party. Or the Profit party. Or the Greed Party.

In America the One Big Party represents only the freedom to make a profit. Economists will tell you that that is the “natural” way. And there are natural market forces that protect working people and individuals from predatory profit taking but, in reality, everyone believes in profit, what the common man/woman calls Savings for a Rainy Day but what economists don’t tell you is that America is a no nonsense gambling addicted society so people have the freedom to spend their savings (money earned above their necessities) on anything they want because that’s what freedom is about. Right?

Nowadays one can gamble on just about everything. In addition, one can be addicted to just about everything so guess where “savings (to you) and “profit” (to them) goes, to either satisfy some addiction (to you) or create more money (for them). 

This is where freedom is like a snake eating its own tail. Although we have the freedom to choose what isn’t free as our only real choice but aren’t able or free to choose removing ourselves from the treadmill of our earthly obsessions, which voyeurism plays a big part, and poor judgement.

The trump revolution, which is what it is, has turned the tables on what we Americans have been brought up to believe. We’ve all been trained (socialized) to accept the variations of the ill named “two party system” and haven’t ever really been able to look at the world in a different way.

If we either laugh at or cringe at trumps TACO moments and obvious mental deficiencies, his inability to hold to one idea for any length of time so how can he be trusted, etc imagine what it’s been like for the long line of slavery descendants, indigenous survivors, and millions of international victims of Americas violent hegemony, that over the decades and centuries, it’s no wonder we’ve become immune to real empathy or even the slightest understanding of human behavior without guns, greed, or subjugation.

All of that is included in the one big package of one big party.

Trumps revolution, like all revolutions, will eventually disintegrate, and like all revolutions, whether it be Cuba, Russia, French, Chinese, or American, it will always be thereafter at the mercy of subsequent emergent ideological battering until it becomes “normal”., the essence of human addiction and greed.

All revolutions end up the same, obsolete because they never fully address true social, economic freedom which ideally includes, no borders, no supremacy, no subjugation, no ownership

The democrats are objecting to trumps Iran war style but believe me they (the democrats) are on the same page as trump. There is no call to return to Obama’s Iran nuclear deal. Make no mistake about it, Iran, according to most of the political establishment as well as the American public is “Iran must go”.

This is true with the Epstein files and any other Trump political staging. No president or prime minister will ever be indicted by the ICC for an international sex trafficking cult or rape ring except maybe the faux “mass rape” on Oct 23, concocted by Israel to cover themselves from pulling their idf forces out of southern Israel prior to the hamas breakthrough.

I can’t even imagine that unless there is a true anti-Trump revolution. That would be a little too bloody for most American stomachs. But that’s where we are now, the failure to bring justice to those who deserve it, has created a vacuum that is too far from gone to be suddenly revived, if it really was ever alive.

One important aspect of profit and greed, as in the economic capitalist philosophy is that it sponsors, not freedom, but dependency. The current Iran crisis demonstrates how it all works. Corporate hegemony on world food and energy products creates a dependency on many nations who because of global control by dominant states, can’t try and become independent by changing their own economies by using their resources. Instead, these dependent countries are forced to take on debt from international banks in order to even maintain some semblance of “nation statehood”

We are already betting on a less moral and, certainly, empathetic world. There’s money in gambling and prediction on the economy, wars, commercial investment, assassination, and sports.

Living has become a roulette wheel and cheap thrills. Be simple.
