nothing's perfect, nothing's forever and ever, and nothing's guaranteed

nothing's perfect, nothing's forever and ever, and nothing's guaranteed There is some good news after all. Whether america is dying or has long ago grown cold and stiff, the living must go on, Right? We can pray or hope or just plain believe without any guarantees, the climax isnt in our lifetime but the longer it goes on, the less secure, safe, or healthy we will be. I'm talking, not done talking. Unfortunately, there are utopian ideas floating around but they all revolve around way too much money being needed to even generate a beginning. I've long been proponent for saying, if you want a revolution you better have an idea of what you're going to do during and afterwards. America has lived too long trying to keep the revolution beginning in the late seventeen hundreds. The founding fathers are much like Moses, holding up their divine and secular notions of what and how people should live by and for, when the modern world of rapid technological change overwhelm...

Miscellaneous

 It is inevitable that countries whose social umbrella groups have depended on US aid to support poor, economically oppressed sections of their population are the tip of the iceberg when it comes to getting or not getting support from the United States. Those monies are rarely "discoverable" or able to be traced. If money really got to the people or things that it was destined for, it would be a miracle. Besides, people in the world who suffer have to learn that they have power and reliance on superpower "gifting" is not a power. America does not foster democracy in these programs, they are offered with all sorts of conditions, like "DON'T Complain.  Imagine if all the people here in the USA who have been laid off, threatened, and are truly suffering because of cuts in their survival-money supply- took to the streets to protest. Then you would have the start of a revolution but instead, they go home or go away or hide like ostriches with their heads in the ...

Never Fear, Fear is Here

Never Fear, Fear is Here to Save You  What future national hero is going to stand in front of the tanks on Flag Day, 2025? We thought it was so great when some anonymous chinese student did it, and what's different about this? Whatever we are afraid of, fear no more. It's here and now all we have to do is answer, what are we going to do? There is nowhere else in the world to go for those who want something better or different. The crazy religionists escaped to foreign lands, the crazy military interventionists planted bases and totalitarian ideas in every land. There's no such thing as international law nor waters. The universe is expanding (or is it contracting?), while we are being compressed into cages, prisons, nations that are fixated on ideals the people who have the power don't believe in themselves. Whether its presidents, princes, kings and queens, state sponsored terrorists, state commandeered economies, or just plain old gangs, cartels, and thugs, we are all ...

It's hard to deal with the fact we live in a nation

It's hard to deal with the fact we live in a nation of total buffoonery rather than the half to three quarters we're used to. It's Memorial Day 2025 and trump has spent his patriotic windfall day castigating Joe Biden and the last four years, which only means he is apologizing to his far right handlers that Joe Biden interrupted the original 2016 plan. Stephen Miller, Rush Limbaugh ( I know, he's dead) and all the fuckheads sitting like the devil on trumps shoulder, whispering sweet nothing pain into his ear, had to wrack their brains to come up with 2025, which, if you remember, is when the ogre took the presidency. I also wondering how old Joe, who for only reasons known by God, thought he was the One, the Big One, who would save us from Donald Trump. They're both wrong of course, because it's J.D. Vance Wow, I am being cynical today. Sometimes, often, I forget I'm a veteran. I spent four years giving support to the idea that a nuclear exchange would be t...

While some eyes are on Gaza, some eyes on trump, wi

While some eyes are on Gaza, some eyes on trump, with the "big, beautiful bill" many will die, like the children in Gaza, but the rest of us, will just spend more and more of our incomes to feed the greed of men and women who don't need anything more but want everything. Fascism always isolates the unseen, the feared, the misunderstood. They are the ones who will be cut, sliced and diced, isolated further from those who will feel little pain, Socialism is like the apocalypse, it comes and goes. If this bill does what democrats and progressives say it will do, then republicans should be wary by mid terms but if the mid terms show that republicans reject the democrats so intensely they are ready to take America down, it will be a level playing field then, we'll all suffer because middle class and poor republicans will go down with the same democrats. But, it will be too late. America will die. Sent from my iPad

Coming and going up and down the pipeline.

Coming and going up and down the pipeline. Look it! Every nation has a history, a bad history. If you are willing to forgive America for slavery, native genocidal practices, the patriot act, faked evidence for the war in Iraq, international torture centers, and the genocides just in your own lifetime, then nothing can be said in your defense. We used to be considered a nation of sinners and taxpayers, tithing our excess to the powerful benefactors of our own insolence and bloodthirsty salacious thumbs down to the caged lion tamers and gladiatorial memories of the purgatorial fallen and blessed dreamers who went to sleep and never spoke of what they had seen. Rather than for the common good, ideals became an albatross around the necks of slow, mastodon thinkers who swam in pools of mud and oil sludge, sacrificing themselves for nothing but all the same praising what could have been but never was. We, meaning the democratic high, minded who want to believe in the glory of the purpose o...

More love, less anti-abortion, please

-
 Another anti-abortionist on the loose with a gun after shooting his enemies, proving once again that life ends, rather than begins, with conception, at the same time innocence does. The anti-abortionist philosophy breaks down after that into fragments of phony patriot, real racist, fake empathy regarding who outside of themselves is valuable, and which matters more, their belief that they represent their impotent god who, i think, once said, leave the fucking punishments to Me, and His son who said, love is better than anything else, or if not love, then, at least, compassion ( but leave the punishments to My Father). Or, in my words, quit forcing your own beliefs on anyone else. Don't say science proves conscious life begins at conception because the myth that mary conceived God's child. Believe what you want to believe but take your violence somewhere else, preferably home, wherever "heart" is. In an essay before this i said religion is behind what is wrong in the ...

A General Strike?

http://portside.org/2017-02-06/whose-strike THIS IS A GOOD PIECE,  A General Strike?  'GET SOBER FOLKS' . I'm interested in movement organizing strategy... lots of people discussing this topic right now.  If  the 9th Circuit does right, will Trump ignore the decision.....sort of Andy Jackson reborn from the Bank Fight and the Indian cases of the mid 1830s?   I watched the NPR show tonight on the Oklahoma bombing of 1995. Amazing how much force the cops used and the resources they had, which turned them all into boneheads on steroids who drove McVeigh nuts. 168 Dead! The way things are going, that Reichstag moment could come sooner than we may have anticipated.  Labor is too weak in numbers and political strength to lead the United Front, and the broader post Woman's March movement is too inchoate at this point to fully predict how it will emerge?  Yet, I'm optimistic.  I have visited or done a little work with a few different ...

Unfortunately for mankind and woman kind consciousn

-
Unfortunately for mankind and woman kind consciousness and knowledge too isn't passed on to each other through osmosis or genes, only instinct is, so that with each child born limited to whatever the community wants or needs, and with each one have to start all over again.. Who is the enemy, who do you trust, who is going to fight which proxy wars for us or against us? Like the righteous brothers lament, you've lost that instinctual feeling. The only real instincts seem to be crying when hungry, fear when frightened and given the amount of time, to crawl and get up on your feet and run like crazy. The supreme alien that put us here, or at least the one who put those crazy words in out head had to see we couldn't run faster than the lion, hear as good as the jackal, weren't as big as the dire wolf, so giving that much to evolution humans inVented their way to the gun. Life is simple, isn't it? That was the first thing I learned in anthropology is humans are tool ma...

Why Cant I Own a Canadian?

This is brought up to speed from 2010. It clarifies the deranged aspect of believing Old Testament scripture as Gods command, which is the mantra of the Zionists today, as well as Christian evangelists. There will never be humanitarian progress in the world until that book is thrown out along with Mein Kampf but I do suggest that if you are going to believe the Old Testament as the Word of God, then read Mein Kampf and, at least, have a comparison in order to put two supremacist doctrines together. Until supremacist and authoritarian politicians are thrown out, condemned, humanity will continue to sink into a fascist quagmire. Thank You.   A Big new world of irony. The world is irony, the lag hate that comes for opposite intentions. Southland Corp.
