There are some people in the world who don't want change, they don't want to know how to turn off the massive amounts of bullshit produced in our culture, or in any other culture. I can understand that. But life is about a lot more things than when someone is overwhelmed by white noise and can no longer reach out for I Love Lucy, Ed Sullivan, and Lawrence Welk, like my parents did, the solution isn't to try and make everybody like you, or be like you, the only person in the world in your church with common sense. There are only a couple of good and evils that embody civil discourse throughout modern civilizations. One, the individual vs the social order and, two, slavery/genocide. The individual vs social order relates to nearly all our humanly representations of civil, social and criminal law. as defined by the standards of our tribe, community, political system. How we get to those standards is differentiated by what our beliefs are about how the world works. There has to...

Okay, I read the twenty point peace plan produced by the trump screen writers. Despite its origins, I recognized some truths in it that set examples of why it should happen but will ultimately be a disaster and why if it doesn't, it will also be a disaster. First of all, there are truths exposed. It seems that prior to Oct 7th, 2023, Hamas was taking the stance of defending their Palestinian heritage from further military encroachment by Israel, which had been taking place since the Mandate. On Oct 7th, the waters were clearly muddied by the absence of what really happened, by both the invaders and the always prepared Israeli propaganda response. Meanwhile, Hamas retreated back to its tunnels and a defensive posture, making the attack seem as if it was merely an exercise in military strategy with no real significant purpose in furthering Palestinian prospects for statehood, if there is even such a thing. It only enraged the Zionists full time desire to complete their greater Is...

In a previous piece, I defined what I believe is a fascist and a dictator but for my purposes today, I should define it again since t-Rex has now outlawed ANTIFA a terrorist organization, which literally has no meaning at all because there is no anti-fascist organization called ANTIFA. Even if we define terrorist in the typical way these authorities define terrorism , which seems to be any type of attempt to change by subterfuge-violence, assassination, bombings etc, or even free speech, actions we used to refer to as "revolutionary"- revolution, meaning the attempt to overthrow an existing national political structure by any means necessary, so to speak. That was before 9/11 , after that, everything is defined as terrorism, so we got the patriot act where every precaution to protect any nations status quo, whether it be democratic or dictatorial, is acceptable, with the current terroristic administration being exempt. Right now we are winding down the path of irrel...

The King is dead, Long live the king.

The King is dead, Long live the King. Todays press report. It was a horrible sequence of events, history will love the story. The King rose in the morning, like any other day, spent the usual on his hair with his hairdresser. She's wonderful, you know that, right? A beautiful young woman, she'll go far in the hairdresser world, I wouldn't mind if she would go farther with me, but, I'm smarter than Bill Clinton, possibly the dumbest president ever, and if that crony wife of his would have beat me in 2016, she's the dumbest. Obama, he was dumb too, there are alot of dumb presidents before me, I'm the smartest ever, by far, look at what I've done in, what, six, seven months? I made peace with six countries, i blew up that crook in Venezuelas boat with drugs on it. we knew where that boat came from and where it was going. Here, a scourge in our country, over 300 million people died already this year from those drugs. Very bad, very bad. but i think they lear...

Charlie Part 3

-
( This is Part Three of three-part essay) Though I really hadn't formed opinions at that time and was aware of the standoff between Soviet Union and America over missiles in Cuba and knew a little about the bay of pigs and segregation, all of that, but, suddenly with that one remark, I had my eyes opened to a big difference of opinion. America was/ is a divided nation. The only thing I didn't know and wouldn't ever know is what was the reason that tech sergeant, who probably wasn't the only one, said that. Was it the Cuban missile crisis, the Catholicism, the bay of pigs, the racism? How many things can form a persons opinion about things as important as those things were? Much later, well after Lee Harvey Oswald was himself assassinated (if that's the right word for it), making sure some things would ever be known, I read that the CIA (at Kennedy order, I assume) many attempts had been made on Fidel Castro's life and perhaps, retaliation could be added to...

The Railroad Boys Share a Trailer

-
 Here's a story from my most recent short book- I've Been Working On the Railroad, All the Live Long day Poetry, Prose, and Stories .  You can get the whole 76-page book on Amazon, and although Amazon isn't on my favorite corporation list like it might be on yours, I try to believe I'm like most people and know Amazon, like all the other billionaire owned corporations are doing a hellava lot more damage and mischief than providing a service people generally like. I also know most people plug their noses and get things delivered. So, if you like the story, there's more and I get approx. $3.50 a book, so you can see I'm not expecting much nor getting rich off that. At least that's what's happened so far. (Oh, by the way, there is profanity, and some political incorrectness because thats the way it is in real life, or even in made up life, so if it might bother you, exercise your freedom to decide on your own to continue. There's way too much tattle tai...

The world is filled with irony.

The world is filled with irony. 2025 is a plan to strip federalism down, laying bare the authorities that rely on the power of the same federal gov they claim needs to go. Democrats now attacking elon musks sticking his paws on private information is a little like complaining that elon musk isnt the right fascist to do the fascist job. My god! The wolf is at the door, and to say it's the wrong wolf, is another example of democrat weakness. They worship the process rather than what the process has produced. Peace loving people shouldn't protest the nuclear bomb and then, protect the right to produce one. Sorry Ro Khanna, the wolf was at the door on Oct 8, 2023, when you took up the "israel has the right to defend itself" and the hidden fascist, " and palestinians dont have that right because, after all, they are israeli property. Its all been about money, ownership and the right/wrong of power. The democratic party has to die, preferably at its own hands. Let'...

Is Trump a wannabe dictator?

-
Is Trump a wannabe dictator? Before I answer that question, I want to address an example of obfuscation of the obfuscator. I read an article on Substack. It supposedly addressed the real issue of trump corporate media and politicians making Trump out to be a president that is testing the waters with all his executive orders, as if he is an innovative and fearless explorer of political change. It doesn't seem to matter to the press or the other sycophants of Trump whether or not he is trampling on civil, personal, or political institutional rights that have been firmly established by tradition, fiat, or progressive civil behavior. So far so good, I say. But then, I was taken aback by the writers reference to Trump being a wannabe dictator and, in my contrarian mind, I digressed into asking myself, "why wannabe"? This is where the adventure began. I wanted to comment but when I started to put in my comment, I was referred to a notice that I must be a paid subscr...

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 ...

Scattershot artist

Scattershot artist It's hard to tell these days what people believe or, worse, why they believe what they believe. If you start with the most commonplace issue people might have, such as homelessness or inflation and move through the spectrum to international issues, such as internecine warfare and genocides, every person seems to have a lot of opinions but with little knowledge. Our governments, both local and federal are so complicated and corrupted around the use of monies and influence, it's a wonder anything at all gets done, which usually doesn't. Money influences everything, mostly in a negative way. Yes, in today's world, governments must have money, contractors must be promised money, businesses must be at least profitable to keep the owners heads above water, families have to pay bills, and federal expenditures are, of course, necessary to maintain annual budgets. Simple enough. Everybody needs money, so who gets to decide where everybody's money g...
