Forgive america

Why i cant forgive america although i am a white man and have never experienced any of the terrible events in my lifetime that were precipitated by the false, faked, infallibility of the american dream.

Yes, some may see me from the outside in, middle class, retired, comfortable but inside my head, heart and soul is a complex mixture of guilt, anger, fear, isolation, and a resounding moral standoff between my natural world and americas unnatural world that all of us are exposed to and manipulated by.

Its toxicity on everyones minds, hearts, and souls is all encompassing.

After much introspection, ive concluded some things that i have played out during the course of my life.

There are three historical events that stand out for me in which america, as a nation, manifested its true metal. This manifestation goes beyond americas supposed defense of principles related to humanitarian rights for all, which always turned out to be for just some, especially dependent on whatever ethnic, race, gender group, or other nationality anyone ascribed to. 

Those three historical manifests are slavery, indigenous genocide and ethnic/cleansing, and the holocaust. It is possible that all nations, whether western in culture or far eastern, african, have proclivities toward murder, rape, pillage and power but it came about that certain western european and its nation state progenies did claim they were the enlightened ones from which freedom, democracy, and civilized society were born. With these three historical eras in the so-called supremacy of white ideology, it is seen that even the apologies or changes connected to those events were/are merely provisional and specific to those historical realities and have not been applied to any universal humanitarian rights assumed for all. 

Not only have those western nations abrogated their right to proclaim themselves the sole arbiters of the idea of universal humanitarian rights but, also, should be denied the privilege of adjudicating the many conflicts arising out of the future.

Im sure that representatives of the american political machine would disdain any positive acknowledgement of slavery, native genocide, or the holocaust but, of course, they seem to be unable or, worse, unwilling to attribute any modern-day logic or comparison to current events.

This is demonstrated in the other historical events i felt were more than just political reactions to events inside and outside our nation but were more symbolic and representative of an actual bent toward unhumanitarian, undemocratic, unfreedom universal principles by which america, as a nation saying it represented, as well as being the adjudicator of worldwide humanitarian, democratic, and principles of freedom, as anything more than a rhetorical ploy.

Those domestic, historical events that were my informal education in the false american dream were the viet nam war, the civil rights movement, 911 aftermath, and currently, the denial and acceptance of genocide as a formal principle (that being the 'right of some nation, though not any nation, or in gazas case, not a right of any people, to defend oneself).

Its ironic to me that any nation(s) who were somewhat complicit in the anti-semitism of the early twentieth century, the slavery of an earlier century, the apologetic of indigenous cleansing, would barely bat an eyelash when an indigenous population, such as the people who live in palestine would be systematically, and it is systematic ( just ask israeli military man), is entirely destroyed, meeting nearly all the agreed upon genocidal definitions they themselves established.

Over the course of centuries' the inclusion of more citizens from formerly isolated groups, such as the right of women to vote, the right of former slaves to some parts of freedom, and changing the definition of anti-semitism to include the criticism of the nation state of Israel, which those same western nations established and authorized in 1948 over the rights of the indigenous population of mixed ethnic cultures.

The rights of All we've been taught to respect and apply to All, have never been All, they've always been opportunistically applied by the Masters of our species. Its always been their privileges over our humanitarian rights.

As a white man i understand what freedom has been giveth can easily be taken away. And i also know that every man, woman and child, no matter how rich or how poor will come to an end. Whatever happens in between is not reliant on how much money you make or throw away, not even reliant on whether you give or you take, kill or are peaceful, its that unique, complex mix of fear, love, hate, good or bad ( if you even know what bad or good is) inside, that part where we all judge ourselves because thats the only judge there is despite all the attempts outside of us that tell us what to do, how to think or manipulate us. Everyone has a nugget of freedom and only we can change who we are or want to be, so, and i know it's not much, but a whole lot of not much is what makes the world go around.

There are alot of questions we should all have about not what we think somebody else should or should not do, but what are we going to do rather than just talk about doing?

Im not forgiving america and what has been done and what it has been doing. I dont believe america has anything to contribute except death, blood on its hands, and irreparable harm to the earth, and, if anyone thinks thats too harsh, I'll just say, america leads the way and if we follow, then we can go over the cliff like a herd of mastodons or lemmings.

I'd rather be free because i think i know what free means to me.

True believer

If you're a true believer in the two state solution, that is, still believing that somehow a miracle of cooperation of western nations will make gaza great again or a true believer in the slow, slow relief from ill effects of climate change by a miracle of cooperation of all the oil based, oil users, oil producer nations will make climate change go away, or a true believer of peace, believing that a miracle of cooperation of western nations allied with their enemies list of combative nations will decide to make love, not war by willingness to let go of all the grudges, deceptions, wars, conflicts, accusations, then you must be under the influence of a delusion about how the political world exists.

Seriously, stop and think for once. I'm talking to you who have driven the left pie in the skyward since the seventies when everyone went off and got jobs without a conscience, supporting minor activist and charitable programs that had more to do with self-help than revolution. How many of you have 401ks, Iras, pension investments in companies you don't have any knowledge of?

All your money you worked so hard for going to banks, weapons, allocations to war, corrupt politics.

We better get our heads out of the clouds we're in.

There will not be a two-state solution. There will not be a climate change directive out of the carbon abusers

Think of where you are. You're in the money greed capital of the world. What do you expect to happen? They've taken our land, our work, our earnings, our social culture and turned it all into things to be used for their benefit, for their schemes, for their conflicts, for their consumption. If you dream of something better, wake up, because it's time for you to change, take back your pride, take back control of your own work, and love the ones you're with in the world.

Trump reversion to 1798

If you think trumps reversion to 1798 to take on deportation what about our fascination with attributing jewish as the chosen people by God himself, thus assuring all that we have today as far as blessing for genocide, ethnic cleansing, and dehumanizing interference in gazans obtaining food, water' and shelter.

Huckabee, a christian zionist. I always thought jesus was coming, not to save the zionist but to save humanity. Religious belief is as confused as democrat-republican differences.

You can run but you cant hide. Because the only one looking for you is your own conscience.

Uprising by muse

It looks like trump is appointing alot of women to positions of political influence. Is that diversity at work?

Groundwork for future presidents?

Sophie's Choice as immigration policy.

Macchiavelli as foreign policy

Adam Smith as economic policy.

Oliver Cromwell as Domestic Policy

The Bible as Definer of Freedom

No one has asked me for my opinion yet i give it. No one ever asked me to do anything except contribute, the most impersonal request.

No one ever asked me to join in a future, only to support ideas and themes rather than reality.

Build the future, dont recycle pasts. Its still Green., 

Invent the future, dont just dream of it.

Money2

Everybody needs money, right? The issues around money are numerous and depending on how anyone measures the importance of those issues.

Heres some of those issues.

How money is made. How money is spent. How much money one should have. How little money one can have and still survive.

These are some of the questions people aske themselves and some that become moral questions, especially in reference to who spends the public money and how public money is spent.

Public money is that money that historically, those obligated to pay part of their money to those who say they are paying for public resources, such as infrastructure, social programs, foreign policy, including supporting war in its various forms.

Advertisement: for those literati out there i suggest rereading or reading Atlas Shrugged, by ayn rand, a precursor to our american government being run by billionaires which we can say, capitalist adventurers wanting to control the world. Who is John Galt?

Looking forward we all will be asked or convinced that the battle for american supremacy is dependent on how willing we, the people, are going to go in giving the billionaires enough to drive the future into a wall and still suppress any and all liberation movements domestically and abroad.

Recently, we have all been victims of our own impressionable allegiance to the news media regarding the assassination of brian thompson, ceo of united health, we all tend to forget whats going on with banks and other capitalist institutions that manipulate the cost of things, like housing, healthcare, food, and, most importantly, the future.

The rise of mental health issues instigated by drug addictions, a lack of public health crisis centers, a lack of imaginative housing alternatives has all contributed to the massive holes in developing a future that includes all.

Let's face it, capitalism is russian roulette played with people's lives at stake. At one time or another, most people will reach a point where they have a crisis, a crisis that will open the potential for a life-long monetary crisis, an inability to pay, debts that never go away.

For all you religionists, greed has always been one of the seven deadly sins yet pastors and priests, reliant on money like the rest don't know when anyone should stop, making greed one of the invisible deadly sins. We're all greedy, mainly because in a society based on wanting or needing more than what is actually necessary to be comfortable, it's hard to determine how much or how little.

What do we base our need on? As debt builds, whether individually or nationally, policies coming out of governments which respond to corporate, business, pressure banks, lawmaking, regulations to maintain the financial institutions stable which does not mean "stability" for us. Raising taxes, higher interest rates, higher inflation or recessionary pressures, all designed for minimal effect for the more wealthy and less healthy for the less wealthy.

Money and Other News

Latest News- Assad goes away, so is another afghanistan on the way? More on that later but now, it's mostly about money.

Liberals and progressives are again in a self-created conundrum. The trump presidency which includes his appointments are about to attempt to dismantle the federal government we love to hate but its like rescuing your drunken parent from further harm but with no cure insight. We'd rather continue on with not a wounded beast which america likes to imagine itself but a really, nearly worthless concept that has been perverted, corrupted, self-destructive, and a downright lying, sociopathic nation for hundreds of years, ever since it rewrote the rules for genocide (supremacy) and slavery (ownership).

But i come to bury Caesar, not to kill it.

Recently, i experienced the death of my sister. Other than my parents, no one in my immediate family had experienced a long-term terminal illness as her disease progressed through two years of treatments, meds, some good results and mostly, a slow path to death.

My sister was an original cat lady, childless, independent, a feminist, a good person but like everyone she worked and put her money aside, planning long term for retirement and healthy longevity.

She would say that was her deepest regret, not having lived as long as our mother and father. She loved life but she also remembered her family so left beneficiaries to her assets and thats the part the rest of her family began to understand what all that entails.

It's all about money and the politics of money. My sister had pension plans, money market, iras, and stocks in her "portfolio" of her planned use of that money. This portfolio is representative of how many unions, middle class professionals, and working people who think about retirement at some point, utilize their wages for daily living and hopefully, for some sort of retirement, a future unseen, yet attainable.

In the past, say fifty years ago, people had savings accounts, put pennies in jars, or stashed cash under the mattress. Essentially, there was nothing wrong with that but banks could not control a savings account where the saver has immediate access to their savings so over time, banks and the corporations dependent on them for big loans determined through the political process, i.e. Legislation, bank regulations etc, lowered savings account interest in lieu of providing different long term types of accounts in the form of cd's, ira's, long term bonds etc that offered higher interest but less accessibility by having penalties on needing the money before its term was completed.

Pension plans looked at this type of planning and began to offer long range pre-tax savings on the premise that social security would probably not be enough in the future of workers to sustain a proper retirement.

Social security, a government supported retirement plan, is regulated by tax dollars and federal government sustenance. It is only "natural" that social security would come under continued attack because of its federal basis, especially from corporations as they began to control legislative outcomes regarding money regulation- through profit, banking, and other economic factors.

The citizens united supreme court decision in 2010 put the nail in the coffin for any pursuit to strengthen a more equitable money/economic system sustained by the federal government.

Advertisement-I declare martial law in order to protect the free and democratic republic of south korea from the threat of pro-communist and oppositional forces while at the same time those oppositional forces such as the national assembly which the opposition controls, came out in opposition to that declaration. (South Korean president redefining 'free')

Money, of course, controls our lives. If there is any other "issue" that plays a central part of our living, i dont know what it is. The exchange of work for the essentials of survival is universal, whether implied by any social community or regulated as in modern nation states that over the centuries have developed  quite a complex system of obtaining, storing, and redistributing money, usually through banks, stocks and various markets connected to long term money storage, including social security and private retirement accounts.

FLASH people may wonder why journalists everywhere, even in poor, unorganized dictatorships, are first targets for suppression is that journalists and others gathering information, universities, are holding the technology for gathering information in their phones and computers which connect them to outside information. This connection to information through phones and computers and access to worldwide information and social media are all vulnerable to extraction for spy, commercial, and other politically motivated purposes.

Back to MONEY. It is what unites us but, more importantly, it's also what divides us. America is a high octane crime syndicate. Don't you ever wonder what happened to the organized crime syndicates that used to run the "hard" crime but, like at the end of mario puzo's novel and movie, the godfather, the bosses say, " let the blacks, browns run the street, we'll control the judges, politicians,.." and, lo and behold, that's what it looks like. And if something looks like a duck, walks like a duck, it is a duck.

So, we give our money to the government, some more than others but where we are the same is, we dont really have control of what the government does with it. Under democrats, republicans will tell you, our money goes for social services not just here but abroad as well in the form of defending us with warfare and defending corporations (globalization) abroad. Citizens united was both parties, as well as the beginnings of globalization in Clinton's time. The mortgage crisis wasn't Obamas but he did everything to protect the banks and corporations who had brought the economy to its knees. Payouts. Whereas under republicans, democrats will tell you, they're all for cutting the 'social' waste the democrats have hanging around in order to look all social justice and equanimity.

Mainly, it's the extremes who believe all the rhetoric that communists are at our doorstep and culture lovers are mixing up the races. The society, which can be defined as all that by which we love and hate, can barely keep up with all the individual complaints, like who should have a library card or how to go to the bathroom in public places.

The owners of everything keep tightening the noose around ordinary people who always seem make the wrong decision at the polls simply because BIG MONEY always trumps the truth here.

What about the toll our freedoms have paid over the past generations?

FLASH palestinians are being used as rats in a laboratory of not hate, but revenge. Gaza is not hamas, gaza is not a battlefield. It is an open-air acceptable experimental suppression of human rights, vulnerable to an ideology such as zionism.

Freeedom

I have simple tastes in freedom. I'd rather own a gun and the right to self-defense than run around shouting about the defense of israel or ukraine and before that, iraq, afghanistan, vietnam, all conflicts that sucked lives from our families and perhaps, destroyed millions of uninvolved innocent families and citizens of those countries. Trillions of dollars went into those losing efforts. Losing efforts because we are not any safer after the russian revolution, after World War 1 and 2, after Vietnam, after 911, after iraq, afghanistan, ukraine, or israel's genocide. If nothing else, american supremacy ideology has created the stage for its own destruction at the hands of its own vengeful producing actions.

One of the arguments in the supreme court argument to treat trans people the same under the law as all other sex discrimination cases. Ironically, it is Tennessee, the arbiter of anti-evolutionary theory, producing more nonscientific evidence in order to achieve some nonspecific moral, religious environment.

Lastly, About Money

Some final personal conclusions about money. The banks, pension plans, government, ira's,  want to take your money and make their own profit from it, which means for the progressive, middle class person, black or white, gender based, charity giving, rights complainer is merely singing in the rain, dancing up the walls about their politics because unless you've taken control of your right to divestiture and right to claim what's left of your work, then it's all for naught.

If you don't want a free for all, bloody type revolution, which all freedom loving people do not want, then take back your WORK, divest, resist, CHANGE Yourself, and if you think you'll be the only one, then don't do anything, and its guaranteed you'll be alone when you least want to be.

This near future government will be composed of many billionaires, openly disdainful of all of us. It didn't come about overnight, or even since 2016, they've never paid their fair share of taxes, they and their less monied cohorts have always wanted to take what every working person earns and turn it into either a technological advantage or a warning to their enemies.

It should be no surprise that within my lifetime, which encompasses most of history since ww2, it's been no coincidence that any "choice" of alternative economic, cultural freedom loving system has not survived. You'd think that a culture that pats itself on the back about its diversity, would actually be diverse.

We're all on the Titanic, whether you're in the lower deck or upper, it's where mother nature grinds down the so called perfect technological nightmare, all based on their need and greed to MONEY.

Batten down the hatches, matey!

UnitedHealth Limiting Mental Health Coverage Puts Patients’ Treatment at Risk

(Here's some info about united health from truthout)
Neither Truthout nor any other news source is not responsible for anything I might say about anything. They try their best to be as reliable a news source any of us on the progressive side of things might want.
But after reading this article which was written back in mid-november before the ceo of united heath was assassinated a week or so ago, i asked myself if we all will start dealing with a new (and old) phenomenon of progressives with a gun, or a former mental health patient of united health, or anyone with a gun who will shoot down anybody, or a turned republican with a misinformed grudge against obamacare, Nevertheless, he is causing quite a stir with the CEO healthcorp executive branches.

No Forgiveness

Why i cant forgive america although i am a white man and have never experienced any of the terrible events in my lifetime that were precipitated by the false, faked, infallibility of the american dream.

Yes, some may see me from the outside in, middle class, retired, comfortable but inside, a complex mixture of guilt, anger, fear, isolation, and a resounding moral standoff between my natural world and americas unnatural world that all of us are exposed to and manipulated by.

Its toxicity on everyones minds, hearts, and souls is all encompassing.

After much introspection, ive concluded some things that i have played out during the course of my life.

There are three historical events that stand out for me in which america, as a nation, manifested. This manifestation goes beyond americas supposed principles of rights for all turned out to be for some and none, especially if whatever ethnic, race, gender group, or other nation anyone belonged to. 

Those three are slavery, indigenous genocide/cleansing, and the holocaust. With these three, it is seen that even the apologies or changes connected to those events are merely provisional and specific to those historical realities and have not been applied to any universal humanitarian rights assumed for all.

As a white man i understand what freedom is giveth can easily be taken away. And i also know that every individual, no matter how rich or how poor will come to an end.

I'd rather be free because i think i know what free means to me. Everyone needs to think what it all means and what we will accept be taken and what we will give in return.

Genetics Don't Make Change

 

(This was written right after the election of Joe Biden in 2020)

Dangerous Women

“Lizzie Borden took an axe, then she gave her mother forty whacks.” Children’s Nursery Rhyme

Perusing upcoming books recently I was suddenly struck by the notion that History has become a resource goldfield for liars and naïve opportunists who use it as a “Eureka” moment for disseminating false or arbitrary knowledge or knowledge for confusing the truth.

I guess there some usefulness as well. Every now and then we all do need to be reminded that there is nothing new on this the most precious realm of God’s green earth except as some scientists report, five new genus (not genius’) of newts and salamanders.

Take the book-Dangerous Women- a book I did not read. It could actually be called anything else as long as it promised women a tete a tete (in this case between an author and the reader) of titillation, especially for the remnants of women who either forgot or have been isolated in libraries for a prolonged period of time that, yes, women can be as dangerous and exciting and obtuse as men.

For me, who has lived in this wild and mildly tame intellectual middle class ideology for most of my life, thinking or believing that there are essential differences between women and men, enough for women to change the course of history and mastermind a entirely different political, social outcome than the one we have now(herstory), simply because they are womenhas become as ridiculous a notion as there is, for me.

We are living in strange times indeed. All the beliefs held by black and white, men and women, gay and straight, whether or not disagreeable or grounds for crimes against humanity, are all merely the residue of social, religious, political training as children, as fantastic as grim fairytales.The college educated, of course, have the fruits of research to tell us that all the racist, ethnic, sexual, economic distinctions are the products of our culture and historical bias and not avenues for exploration or even evolution toward progressive social order.

This is true, however if you ask these intellectuals whether or not they would want to rid the nation, an institution itself that needs reconstruction, so we can add it to the list, they will say No, as if Change from racism to non-racism is a non-starter if you talk about revolution.

In the last five years we’ve been bombarded with the simplicity of fascism to reckon with. It’s been a confusing, daunting task for most the civilized world and yet, although it was obvious from the beginning to anyone who has a beating heart that Donald Trump represents an ideal so contrary to the best interests of most of those living at the bottom of the economic spectrum. Yet, because our system does not like change, it dragged on for over five years and still we are not rid of it as investigation after investigation goes on and on.

Since I started this rant on the literary aspects of presenting history to those who want to believe they will have a history or to those who still believe in one form or another that women are not equal to men or black people are not equal to white, that muslims are not as good as Catholics/christian etc etc. If I look at all the books I’ve read or seen emerge into the public’s consciousness, I can’t tell you how many have been sucked into a historical black hole of creative american grandiosity and grandstanding. Everything from black history, civil rights, wars, all the way back through human history, it all says the same thing, yet still everything is treated as if it’s newfound, resurrected from obscurity, brought into the light and enlightenment.

What grandiose bullshit.

History buries everything and what it doesn’t bury, vultures get fat on.

I’m going to sashay into another realm for a minute. Four years ago we recently elected Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as our answer to the Trump anti-revolution. I’m inclined to say that Trump inspired a revolution of sorts and not the one that neither you nor I ever would want. Nevertheless, it is here. It’s clear that in Malcolm’s overly used warning-The chickens (of racism, anti-democracy, economic disparity) have come home to roost. We’re stuck with it and I can assure anyone that there will be a million books about people’s lives living through this period, this pandemic, this four year moral crisis and still, right now, I can feel Trump should have faded into the historical limelight but instead he is now the president elect. The intellectuals told us history would not be favorable to Trump and that was not true but as time goes by, america has always proven that the Lie lives longer than the truth, the truth gets buried by those in power.

I can certainly conceive of a history book dedicating two paragraphs to the legacy of Obama (more or less focused on his being the First A/A president) and an entire book dedicated to the rise of trump's legacy, his election, his selection of the lifelong supreme court, his two impeachments, his exposure as a crook and a demi-god, and finally the unwritten second presidency.

Nevertheless, his influence on the future is uncertain. So now, he just completed another two paragraphs worth of First future history. The oldest President ( though Trump will be older but certainly not be as feeble and rigid) and First A/A woman, Asian, Vice-President, which brings me full circle. Need I remind people that Kamala Harris was selected by Biden to be his running mate because she is black and a woman. Why? Only in america is it worthy of mention. Other nations around the world, too many to name, have already had important women leaders and political icons, whether it be monarchs, prime ministers, wives of political leaders. It’s a shrug of the shoulders for most of the world. But Kamala was chosen for both her race and gender because in america it’s good strategy and that’s all it is. Her politics didn't differ, except, again, in america many people impose their belief that somehow women and differences in race impart some magical powers (dedicated to the change they want). As for political issues, Amy Klobuchar or Elizabeth Warren or Kirsten Gillibrand would have brought the same program as Kamala.

We should have reached a point a long time ago in america that notions of race, gender, poverty are unacceptable but, simply, we haven’t. The issues are always the same and the solutions are always the same. Most women, according to some surveys, support abortion rights and yet ever since Roe vs Wade the deterioration of abortion rights through state legislation has worsened that right over the decades. Both Civil Rights and Voting Rights legislation at the Federal level have been lauded and continue to be lauded today in history books and intellectual discussions and simply, it all may be worse. Of course, some people would say struggle is a lifetime project but is it what people want. At some point in human history the struggle of survival against natural elements was transformed to the struggle for the right to live under whatever social system one was born under but still retain the promise of a simple life, working, raising family and community, something nearly everyone has been deprived of by a constant fear hammered into the national psyche.

ignorance can hardly be denied,

but the causes are multiple. One being the actual issues surrounding daily life and life decisions are complex, much more complex than they should be.

The governments of the world, both local and national have simply grown capitalism beyond the comprehension of anyone to understand the oppressive nature under which they live. Believe me, this is no coincidence.

Capitalism has been taken to the heights of another religious cult, whereby those who profit by it and are able to use it to their advantage, like all religion, are able to convince those who are used by it that it is the "natural" order of it.

Now, in this country, Acirema, capitalism has brought itself to all the workings of government in order to manipulate and subvert the institutions, and ideals, the nation supposedly built itself upon.

Immigration to Acirema is entirely built on rumor, innuendo, and false belief among the world population. For sure, it is better to live in obscurity once one does safely cross the border and disappear rather than living in some violent village in your own country, susceptible to the brutality most third world nations offer. But that same brutality exists in Acirema, and, although for many decades it was less obvious, recently gun, domestic violence has been more widespread and fearsome.

Real solutions to violence require addressing root causes, including poverty, addiction and community health, and how about the acquiescence of the general public to Ignorance. Stupid is derogatory, but it is an actual behavior which entails the ignoring of actual events, details of significant knowledge, and the relationship between oneself and their own personal environment.
