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...

( 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...

(This is Part 2 in a three part essay) Assassins  Assassins are an interesting lot. They are always vilified no matter who they target because whoever they target is usually significant to whatever the assassins motivation is. No doubt about it they are the apex predator in a stagnant but loud discourse on the nature of things. Usually political matters. Supporters and admirers of Charlie Kirk are, of course, pissed off at the lack of universal grief at his passing and, of course, will demand revenge, even after the assassin is caught and the death penalty is enforced because it isn't justice that anybody wants most of the time but vengeance, which, sadly, isn't ours, but Gods. Just like it's always been Gods prerogative, though many people nowadays say that nations here on earth are Gods instruments for meting out justice. The old saying from Vietnam american soldiers, "Kill everybody and let God sort it out the innocent and guilty." Unfortunately, the nation...

(This Part 1 of three parts. Read em all if you want to get the picture)  Charlie  The man who chooses the second amendment over the lives of children dies by the hand of the man who somewhere between owning a gun and his own reasons for killing a man with it are the same man because the moral abstraction the 2nd amendment doesn't cover is beyond them.. That's why Charlie doesn't get it any more than any of the others who simply never have gotten down to being human. But if there is one truth about living, it's the dying. We're all gonna die, just like Country Joe says. Those who bemoan the fact that Charlie's kids will never know him are the same as those who think nothing of the kids murdered at their desks or millions of people murdered and having their land taken or even the children of their enemies. Everyone not in their box is fair game. And Charlie was fair game in the game he put out there to play. The interesting thing about Charlie, it wasn...

  I spent years on the railroad assembling a great American working-class hero inside myself, I spent enough years in college assimilating, all the great ideas intellectuals use to keep from living on farms. I spent enough years in the classroom teaching the over enculturated spoiled american youth, answering why george washington never smiled, or if the republic is only god's house for a while, (god being a natural born transient), Yet only I knew that inside my mouth,  filled with a plastic smile (rather than a wooden one), Like washington was said to have, my tongue completely tied up in lies, lies, lies like many presidents yet to come, until one day i simply walked away, wrapped up in all my convictions, predilections, and illusions, saying to anyone who'll listen- god and country and the gold standard are only delusions, the only real reasons we can't get beyond our animal minds, any real solutions.

Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of anti defamation league, let the cat out of the bag about why he thinks anti Zionism is anti-semitic. It appears to him, I guess, and all zionists that anti Zionism , as professed by liberal and progressive pro Palestinian protestors, are some how denying Israel, which supposedly represents all Jews worldwide, evidently, denies Jews the "right to self-determination" which according to him is a universal standard. So..anti Zionism is prejudicial and anti semitic is making Judaism victims of hate. He said all that with a straight face. Let me say this. If Zionism is a religion then it shouldn't have any more right to exist than any other religion but if Zionism is a political, social, earth based movement, like ISIS or Al Qaida, or Scientology, or the Knights Templar of medieval times, or Proud Boys, or Crips, or any other organization that utilizes force, coercion, corruption, and violence along with the belief that god, nation or insanity ...
