We're Watching You

-

is it any wonder we're the most paranoid culture on earth. don't believe me. think about it. we're a culture that believes everybody we deem important is watching us. God (for obvious reasons, heaven or hell being at stake, Santa Claus ( he knows if you've been bad or good). the tooth fairy (how else would it know who has teeth under the pillow), the government (mostly because of taxes, security and safety concerns (for them)), let's see who or what else is watching over me, how about every fucking camera in every store and street corner, they're all watching you and me in fact, I'm watching you, and you, and you, all of me is watching you.

 Technology The age of the gizmo. That starts in the dirt of many nations where children, men, and women scrounge for cobalt, titanium, gold, diamonds and other precious resources which will be the beginnings of the  The gizmo connected to the whatchamacallit, inserted into the thingamachig, which when complete, goes to peoria to be hooked up to the gadget, which came from a factory in hoboken, welded to the dogeared sheet, attached via remote control ai to a chip, manufactured in silicon valley, configured and detoxified by a technician in reno nevada, driven to las vegas, stored until further use. Heres to all the men and women so far detached from what they do, congratulations, you have just built a weapon which will eventually be used to kill, maim, and destroy human flesh or maybe the man or woman who made the gizmo. The cogs in the machine that keep industry rolling along. Cog immigrants. If i'm an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, why do i want to see millions of peopl...

HPD-Historyonic Personality Disorder

-
  We’re all imbued with HPD, make the best of it. After all, even as history and hysterical march onward together hand in hand, like lemmings to the sea, leaving even the most temporarily celebrated of us long dead, cremated, flown, blown and dispersed, like common stars, there are more of them than grains of sand on all the beaches in our world, you know? If stars can be so commonplace then certainly, we, as lonely billions can stand out and up while we can, in gods flighty hand, we will be replaced, By the ticking sands of time, only momentarily remembered by others dreams and awakening crimes.   There’s not a nation in the world in which you can loudly criticize the government, including this one, my country tis of thee, America is my country, my stamps prove it. I get the proofs before i open my eyes, Imagine it, i am stamped, "grade a prime us merican citizen material (provided i pass the gender, race, class, and immigration tests with high marks). SATISFACTORY!...

The language

-
The language In the modern world, and to me that means the world as formed from the rise of western european and us into dominance. Does a man who commits rape get to define "rape?". Does a nation get to define genocide? Does a dictator get to define freedom? If not, then why is there no certain definitions. The israel hamas war has once again demonstrated that outside the actual physical atrocity of war is the war of words. Language is all we have as humans to use in explaining our actions, and those explanations are weighed against what we describe as the truth, and full circle jerk fashion, that truth is the judicious dissection of the language compared to what happened according to witnesses and what they have to say about it. Truth no longer comes from the reliance of a persons own conscience. The saying that there are no guilty people in prison or there is no violence in war outside of self defense. America committed atrocities and genocide in america, vietnam...

2022-2024 With Not Much In-between

-
  Everyone is looking ahead to the mid-term elections to save us from the Monster who gave us the apprentice. It should be debatable that if anybody who voted for Trump because he was a celebrity should have their citizenship discontinued for a period of time, maybe a special place devoid of tv and digital news. Democracy will not be the squeeky clean savior of us all, especially the type of unrepresentative democracy which is currently in the State of America. It is merely a word secured by the luxuriant gift trappings (ribbons and bows) of political philosophers who give us the impression that the people, whoever they are, the belief that we have a say in what their government does. It belies two truths. One, that the majority is those who care to vote (voice their opinion) and not those who neither choose not to voice their opinions nor simply do not care enough to vote (understanding possibly that it doesn’t matter, the choice fix is in). Secondly, maybe the most important of...

I remember

-
  I remember when the american people were outraged when saddam hussein invaded kuwait decades ago, and the father of our country and the cia told us that iraqi soldiers were killing babies in incubators and for that the invasion began. And now we hear our ally, israel, if i must say say its name, commits atrocities against what some would call arbitrary "international law" against babies and innocent civilians. Does the anti- choice contingent in american politics raise its voice in concern and empathy? No. Why not? Because in america morality is based on the arbitrary political whims of those who have socialized us, embedded in us an obscure fear and an even more ambiguous reactive violence, like a dog who is trained to respond to rewards and commands of violence. Oh, what a sweet nature that is! The american people. 375 million strong, composed of babies ripe for exploitation, fears and prejudices and privileged and spoiled and dreamy ambitious an...

Lessor of Two Evils is NOT a choice anyone should have to make

-
Two state solution Well, it seems whoever we got, the threat remains the same. Progressive people say we're living in dangerous times. Even regular people say it. Why? It appears that gazans are living in dangerous times but not us. We have the choice and no matter how many chose the two-state solution over the last seventy years no one here did enough to make that possible. It's always been dangerous times there. It's always been dangerous times, believing in the two-state solution is like believing in santa claus, easter bunny, or werewolves. And if anyone still believes in it, they are truly absurdist. There will be no freedom from pain in gaza. This election will demonstrate the weakness of the great democratic dream. We are a third-rate country. We just have big guns, just like the militias, terrorists, cartels, police that control the people in the third world with threats, murder, and civil war. Remember, no matter who wins, the racist a...

Notes and Quotes 1-From Arendt to Anything Goes

-
  Here's one thing wrong with America. I'm listening to Ed of MSNBC rant about what we all need to do in order to progress. The Senate just voted for the Keystone Pipeline. Recent reports showing improvement in the economy, more jobs, and how we're coming out of the recession (depression) we've been in for six years. My question is, how can anyone expect any progress when we accept a norm of disaster, war, economic collapse and six, ten, twenty years later we accept their version of progress Best of all will be those who know only one thing for certain: that whatever else happens, as long as we live we shall have to live together with ourselves. It's those who actually decide to not participate, even when attempts to force them, who are the ones who would not be able to live with themselves if they were complicit (by even remaining passive) in murder. Much more reliable are the doubters and skeptics, not because skepticism and doubting is good or wholesome...

Book Review: Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche

-
  The story is about a young, intelligent Nigerian woman who goes to America to go to school more so because America is where young, intelligent Nigerians go. She goes with all the earnestness of a new immigrant, but not a typical immigrant we are used to portraying in our media. She is one of millions from all over the globe who come on student visas, brought up in their own country in whatever middle class standard is prevalent, and are considering staying in America and becoming professionals but, once reality sets in, have a harder time deciding America is not for them. The book is the journey of Ifemelu, a Nigerian woman and details the reasons why young people in Nigeria, specifically, and worldwide, generally, see opportunity in America as a viable opportunity to live better lives. She has a lover in Nigeria who must stay when she leaves but the couple see themselves together, possibly in America, after she gets her education. A sexual assault not long after she arr...
