The earth will be here, long after we re gone, some of us in a long…

The earth will be here, long after we're gone, a small few of you in a long shot rocket man scenario to continue the species wreckage we have wrought bringin it into some far-off distant star, like Columbus, all over again. If the bible got anything right, it was atom in the garden of paradise, the tree of life with its luscious fruit tempting eve, a godforsaken apple tree, how many of those were around then, it must have been surely fate, that from that tree atom and eve ate.
I heard that there's been a recent intergalactic intrusion on the earth, the war department keeps its mouth shut until they figure how they can retrieve a few small intrasellar fragments of alien spacecraft on the bottom of the sea.
But someone else found them out, the secret is finally out. Will some monstrous mountainlike being rise from the dark sea while we're not looking?
We humans never stop coming up with ways to silence the grandeur that surrounds us. They'll kill you with talk about capitalism and some sort of materialism, boring stuff about themselves, maybe the guns they own or the guns they need to get off you whatever it is they want from you.
I don't know That much about trees but once they started dying from the lack of sun when the big cataclysm happened, nothing was going to survive except what the carrion eaters could thrive on.
How wrong could we be to bet the farm on the superiority of this species? God must be having a good, long laugh if you count infinity where we've been master's of the world for about two seconds, infinity and relative wise, and are already on our way out.
Happiness is a warm gun.

Recidivism

 I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what constitutes a “revolutionary mind.” Several incidents in the last couple of decades that might have been skimmed over as to their importance in our revolutionary movement for real social change. Others, such as the current administration's “fascistic” dictatorship, the left has squandered. There is no doubt in my mind we’re in trouble as a nation state that, though it’s never been proven, our nation state reflects the ideals of the Age of Reason, as contradictory as they can be, and still are today. Ideas like the expansion of freedom to those who never had it or democratic rule, or representative rule. It’s true that the Age of Reason was cynicism free because it relied on a honor system to support its institutions and attempted to balance the power constructs so no one person or group of persons could put the established order in jeopardy. It was one for all and all for one. 

The problem is, what was morally reprehensible to some, is so embedded in the system, it is like pulling teeth without anesthesia because the law is law and the law is sacrosanct. So, men acted righteous by, say, supporting slavery because it was the law but could not bring themselves through the political apparatus they had fostered, to be morally conscious. Centuries old religious laws, rules, and threats of going to hell never convinced the "bad dudes" any of that was for them.

Recently, the left has been turned on its head with the uncovering of the sexual exploitation by Cesar Chavez. Ironically, this exposure is no different than the whole Epstein fiasco, yet because Chavez was such an integral part of a liberal/left movement, it becomes a lesson of our own hubris. 

This recent example of the lefts lack of moral code at the same time as a lack of overall coherence and definition of accepting differences in the various ideologies surrounding any radical movement. I guess it’s a matter of not knowing when to swallow pride for the greater good. Also, it’s relevant to the way the left, just like the right follows, or allows to lead, leaders who themselves become the movement and can’t be replaced. 

For example, Black Lives Matter became an international movement, accepting millions of dollars of donations, which every movement needs to grow, only to be caught up in a fraud scam where a lot of money went into the pockets of BLM leaders. A similar thing happened with the women’s movement in twenty sixteen when organizers put together the largest political protest and rally up to that time and couldn’t follow up because they broke up on the religious divisions between black Muslim/Jewish (zionist) definitions. If women really want to build a revolutionary movement they're going to have to redefine the relationship between men and women or good and evil. Up to now, violence is a man's thing, although some women leaders have demonstrated they can follow up on the religious/political/cultural written strictures brought down the mountaintops from god to men over the centuries. Men's acceptance of violence as resolution is the wrecking ball of civilizations. Men invented God and women invented equality

It’s clear that none of the leaders in all the political movements in America are moral examples, pure of ideological clarity, including maga, finally a chink in their armor, America first or Israel first, but, the left which has always embedded itself into the age old argument that there is no moral argument, only how a man's money pays to get what the laws demand. Ideas about democracy alone curing whatever ails a nation are absurd because we already know that "the people" have elected tyrants many times, including most of the ones in the twentieth/first century.

Of course, I'm not unequivocal in my criticism of what the left has done to itself, because they have the right ideas, ideas that truly represent oppositional thinking but if no one can keep greed out of their values or not just self-interest but self-absorption, self-centeredness or sexual exploitation, then what's the good that's advanced.

It's funny (in a way) that our own democratically elected modern napoleon, despite his moral, sociopathic shortcomings, is not even halfway into his second term, yet he has brought the world to this potent evolutionary moment. I'd say there's no going back after this, but if I'm wrong, and there is a going back to something similar to what everyone was doing before, then, honestly, I'm even more afraid. Why? Because it means there's no real justice, only recidivism.

As we become inured to another world war, this one, labeled the west (which includes, well, hmm, the west vs Iran, though I'm not sure how many countries must be included to embrace the "world war" title. In this one, we have numerous Muslim states who have subjugated themselves to America and Israel's interests which I always understood was antithetical to the existence of Islam, but in today's world, anything goes, and we have Europe which hopes by their meek cooperation to convince America to spend a little more time and mostly money on Ukraine, rather than Zion. Then, we have an odd conundrum of Russia and China supposedly helping Iran with intelligence and drones while Trump relaxes sanctions on Russia and Iran so they can sell oil to the oil starved nations of the free world, that is, the nations opposed to Iran.

There is also Pakistan, Turkey, Spain, India, and Ukraine, Houthi, Hezbollah, and a host of pro/anti Iran militias, all contributing a little different version of compliance/non-compliance.

There is so much duplicity, anxiety, and double speak between all these parties, once again, I'm flummoxed but, and it's a small 'but', just now I've been able to use two new words in my reserved journalistic lexicon-inured and flummoxed.

We certainly can't forget that Israel seems to be outdoing itself once again. Its daily bombardment of Iran and Lebanon, stonewalling on the parenthetical "peace" process in Palestine, and almost a complete mastering of the Israeli population that daily retreats into bomb shelters with bowling alleys, that's how prepared they are, though the question being, are they prepared to be the second nation in history to utilize a nuclear bomb to further their heavenly aspirations.

The world holds its abated breath.

As for the American public, I can't empathize too much and can't sympathize at all. Though I ostracize myself from America's investment in a world which holds only a morbid curiosity for me as a helpless citizen of any of those nations involved, No Kings March Day, notwithstanding.  

I can still take my grandkids to their respective playgrounds or recommend their involvement in some sort of educational institution or making sure that a job or skill they apply for, can take them anywhere in the world, and should be better than a job requiring a psychological profile of a sociopath. Hmm, I may have to take that back. Sociopaths seem to be as adaptable to today's world as a nurse or carpenter.

The Persians kicked the Israelites ass a couple of thousand years…

The Persians kicked the Israelites ass a couple of thousand years ago and Netanyahu who lives in the past, has been pissed ever since.

There's a saying that there's a hell of a lot of highly motivated dead people near the top of Mt. Everest, so it is refreshing to realize that all these fascist liars and killers will meet their maker sooner or later but when any of them die, we need to remember there's more on the assembly line. Greed is cheese to the rat like chum is to the shark scrum. But don't let that stop you from dancing in the street like all the diaspora Iranians, Ukrainians, Cubans, Russians, and oh so many countries who have given us their refugees from their own battles with the US.

I see where John Bolton is an expert advisor on the mainstream media. He's one who isn't dead yet, so can still give I'll advice about how to conquer the world.

It's hard to keep from all the conspiracy theories surrounding sex trafficking among this current bunch of politicians. It's as if republicans can only have sex with kids who don't know what sex is yet or, to be fair, some of the republicans don't know what sex is either, or love, or compassion, or woke, or awake.

Update, same for another fallen hero, Cesar Chavez. Yes, I feel bad but being an anti-authoritarian gives me some immunity from falling prey, or falling in love with every leader and personality who says, and in Chavez's case, does the good deeds but is a horrible person when it comes to their god given rights to sex of any kind.

Every j Edgar Hoover type in the world, and there seems to be plenty of them, living and dead, who should all have their memorials torn down just like the glorified slavers of Americas inglorious past, present and future.

It's going to be fun once America and the rest of the world wakes up to its own fascist president, dismantling His name from the government buildings, along with Gods.

Chavez is just another name, along with father Serra, Weinstein Epstein Trump, hundreds of priests, and thousands of normal looking, and some not so normal serial rapists and child murderers who can't take their thumbs out of their mouths during their quiet time, or like Trump, can't shut up so is left with sticking his foot in his mouth.

I know there are some maga admirers out there hanging on every word, going all a twitter, like wetting their pants, who knows what they pray for in the shadows of their churches, or who they dream of killing with their cold, dead hearts, worthless every one.

I want to say something about freedom of the press, or just plain…

I want to say something about freedom of the press, or just plain journalism.

Free press is not necessarily equal to free speech or truthful speech because the press is just another job, it comes with attachments, responsibilities, and loyalties to whoever pays you. Even though some journalists are free lance they have to do the work themselves to find the outlet and the outlet has to feel what they write is for their readers. Journalism is putting some things in, leaving some things out, usually an editor determines what is in and what is out. Now, it might seem logical, that those journalists who write left wing stuff are telling the truth more than those who write for established media. Of course, that's not true. Sometimes, or a lot, I think left wing journalist or podcasters are trying to prove we really are a free press nation because they can say outrageous things ( whether true or not is beside the point). They throw around words like fascist, pedophile, corruption, making the actual context of those words more like " sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me."

It hurts me to know Trump is a fascist in the same order of hitler, Franco, Mussolini, Putin, Pinochet, Duarte, Netanyahu, Ben Salman, et al. Fascism is of course a lot more common than we think because we've accepted the pill that America doesn't support dictators so it's hard for Americans to go against all that training and socialization. And, it's true, as we know from history, the people who live under the auspices of a dictatorship, are as economically diverse as any in the so called free world ( poor to wealthy), listen to music, dance, and mostly ignore any abnormality, such as racist, ethnic, religious intolerance, as long as they aren't part of it, thus making social fabric cohesion theory mythological. It's all about nationalism and patriotism at that point.

Freedom to a nation based in sociopathic, meaning unequal, unjust, or economically weighted toward the top, is essentially psychopathic. Anyone will try to do what they think they can get away with or do what they want, fuck the consequences.

It's interesting that in a dictatorship, we don't want to know why people do anything before we punish them. That's because there is no justice system at all. Those who commit white collar crime or who are wealthy just go unpunished while common thieves, criminals get lots of attention because secretly we think stealing is more conspiratorial than greed. People steal what they think they want from others who have it. Greedy people steal from others to get more than what they need. Greed is the basic sin of all dictators, bar none. Does anyone ask themselves why a billionaire, or as in the past, a multi millionaire would want to be president, or. Senator, or anything representing people they could care less about?

It also hurts to think that Trump is much like Cesar Chavez, Bill Clinton, and many other male sex abusers on the left, or liberal side and right, or fascist side of things. It doesn't occur to many journalists to mention that it's men who run the world and the ones who make the wars, economic policies, and, make up nearly all the cultural, religious leaders around the world. It's such an obvious factor in cause but nearly all journalists, podcasters, politicians never say anything about it. The influencers, whether culturally, religious, political, or personal, divide us up and we accept their premises based on whatever our own truths are.

Truth is relative but there are some facts, such as the mess men, as a socially derived authority, make sure they run the world goes unchallenged.

Needless to say, since society preens boys and girls, men and women, for their particular roles and niches based on a hierarchy dependent on religious belief, political affiliation, or work status, we end up with the same result.

The Cesar Chavez fall from grace is just another example of a society disintegrating into its various hierarchical categories. Chavez's quick fall from grace when the president who is accused, no more, no less, continues to hold power, a huge amount of power, should be a world wide wake up call but it's not. Why? Because men have made oil, war, authority, power the greater goal, over the simplicity of motherhood, protecting children, providing sustenance, and social coherancy.

When the Declaration of Independence said, "We, the People" that meant us, not them. But ever since then, although we've tried to add to the list of people who are the people, we allowed them to decide, like making corporations people but not some races, some immigrants, or some women, or even children.

If there’s one thing I know about fascism, I’m willing to say it’s…

If there's one thing I know about fascism, I'm willing to say it's really very mundane to anyone not caught in its web of deceit, grandiosity of morbidity. Most people, under any circumstances, can cower beneath the rubble of a failing society. It didn't take much intelligence for me or anyone else back in my youthful days to foretell the future.

There was Cuba, Vietnam, and the Middle East. There was Nicaragua, Angola, Algiers, Soviet Union, Formosa, North Korea. After fifty years or more, there's the Middle East, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, immigrants, NATO, Turkey, china, Greenland, Ukraine, Iraq, Afghanistan, mini and many wars of vengeance, wars of democracy, wars of choice, wars of self-defense.

American logic has become so adverse to truth that even high minded progressive and anti- governmental mental types don't know they're contributing to their own critique of their own ideas. For example, a recent well written substack essay of this current war with Iran, the logic thrown into the middle of a long breakdown of how the us and Israel have for decades masterminded confusion and fighting and propaganda, the writer succumbed to the typical apology that she was basically no friend of Iran because they just recently massacred thousands of protestors, but everything she had said up to that point would be worthy of more of the death threats within her own country, so I'm wondering to what advantage is itto mention the exception to the rule just for the sake of some "fairness". It could be boiled down, I guess, that in the end we progressives will swallow the pill, "No matter how the war goes, no matter how brutal we are to another nation of brutal leaders, we will rest on, "least we got rid of the senior ayatollah, eh?"

A few years ago I contributed a small amount of money to amnesty international. Since then I get constant donation requests from them, telling me what a big and great job they're doing and what they need for that goal. They aren't the only ones. Campaign contribution requests, substack, media, subscriptions, even Cuba, which I've visited several times ( just one of supposed dictatorships where I saw no more dictatorial social measures than what I see or hear about in this ill natured sociopathic led country I was born and raised in).

Back to amnesty international. One day I realized that they promote American and western jurisprudence as superior to anywhere else simply, I presume, because that's where the money is. It's the same with the United Nations, many other charitable and support for equality and justice promoting organizations. It's all because Americans are the most guilty and gullible of any people in the world. America is the most incarcerated system in the world, yet amnesty has the balls to point their finger at the main American targeted nations, such as Cuba, Russia, Venezuela, Mexico. Of course, Americans (and amnesty) believe that everyone thrown into jail or the improvised detention centers ( whether it be in Manzanar, Guantanamo, black sites, alligator Alcatraz, and the dozens of immigration facilities popping up like, well, poppies) are all necessary incarcerations. If they didn't think that, they'd never get any money, so they point at other nations, which, mind you, are doing the same thing as America. It's all the same. Every nation has crime, prisoners of conscience and no nation is better or worse than another. Just don't go blowing Americas horn. Right now the ICC has Netanyahu, Putin, Maduro, and many others ( though not enough) but not Trump, Hegseth on their list of war criminals. Why not Trump? Why not Trump on the list of fascist dictators right here in America? It's unbelievable that we will never see Trump come to justice. Sure, we may see him leave office but when he does, he'll leave holding his bag of riches, like Santa Claus in reverse, or like Robin Hood, rob the poor, give to himself.

And, like pro Israeli, maga, any anyone else who dances in the street when the ayatollahs, the duly elected (until proven otherwise) representatives such as maduro, Kennedy, Allende, etc are removed or murdered, and even the targeted popular figures like MLK, Crazy Horse, Malcolm, Che, etc, I, myself, will celebrate when my idiot and fascist president meets his maker.

The truth of the matter is America has already fallen, the question remains who or what is going to be fallen on, toppled with it.

I'm going to say what few others will say. If the world's public didn't react to Gaza, it will not react to a total destruction of Iran, not even if the end is use of a nuclear weapon, which at this stage, looks like a possibility. We, meaning the supposed world conscious public, are not thinking of replacing any of this ragged system from which these disasters are born.

All the political manchinations stemming from our failed constitution to thwart the emergence of a powerful leader or party becoming fascist have been destroyed. Plus, these same Age of Reason principles, developed after the last world war stand as insignificant on the world stage as a dormouse.

America has always imagined itself as the Lone Ranger, Superman, or God, rugged individualism, and all that, while the rest of the so called "free" world imagines itself like a child protected from the rain by big mamas umbrella, its Star Wars without the stars, space although it is science fiction. Don't forget it's pretty sterile out there amongst the mentality of billionaires, who are simply managing their money. I'm so glad the stock market is holding up fairly well and oil so far is what they might call "tolerable". It'll be worth it as long as we can come up from the bomb shelters of our own minds, and think about the future. Oh, sure.

And here's what the future holds. Israel, Saudi Arabia, Russia, china, North Korea, Mexico, Greenland, Antarctica, small, irritating wars everywhere, drugs (our own addictions), intolerance, religious persecution, revenge.

Welcome.

It's hard for these reasonable people to believe that we're all locked in, locked out here, along with the birds and beasts of burden.

I've often said America was never great so it can't or won't be great again and there are others who say similar things but in the middle of this logic, they throw in something about the constitution, or liberty and justice for all, or everyone is created equal, or some other inane belief that people use to measure the "good" America from the bad America, the one where the constitution only serves the rich, or where liberty, justice, equality for all has never happened anywhere, anytime, and is not real.

It may still be debatable, though the odds are going up, that we've crossed the line of no return. In America, some of the public still believe the upcoming election will change things, maybe not too much, but to them who believe and are completely inured to small change, like panhandlers, there is still hope, and hope is the rope on which we'll be hung.

Progressives point their fingers at the loud split in America first maga but have no proof whatsoever that these tittering tweeters would resign themselves to vote for the weakest blue dog minded democrat.

Blue dog democrats have hounded any progressive agenda for decades and, somehow, true progressives, as few as they are, are reluctant to just say goodbye to the Party of Small Change and ally themselves with the other small parties for the sake of survival.

Iran may have killed protesters but it never over the last twenty five years, killed tens of thousands of human beings, scattered hundreds of thousands of people across the world, unleashed indiscriminate warfare on several nations just because it could.

Progressives stop. The protests in Iran were merely another incentive for a forty year old murder contemplated by nationalistic, sadistic serial warmongers. The fact protesters were killed didn't make the slightest difference to whoever was sitting in the board rooms of deceit and lies and decided to take advantage.

I'm truly sorry that the Jews have become the scapegoats for their own brand of fascism, like Americans have. The Jews will probably rue the day and Americans will too hjust become like they've always been, mass killers of themselves and anyone else who gets in their way.

And finally, Americans should look no further, especially not beyond their borders, than their own civil war, where millions were killed or wounded over who was going to pick cotton, and it's still not resolved to this day.

Trump is establishing a scenario of making sure he will wield power through wealth and money over established and toothless institutions of the state. His Board of Piece will be outside of the jurisdiction of both domestic and international law, and possibly become the institution that runs a lot of what happens.

Remember, money runs the world, and buys a lot of power. Of course, he has to stay alive first, and being eighty, overweight and an addict doesn't bode well for his future nor ours, but will his illegitimate legacy carry on without him, his legacy being the mostly third world, third rate countries who paid a billion dollars to serve him, not a good man among them.

 There is only one resolution to the world as it happens to be right now. Stop feeding the machine. It is a great sacrifice  but at the same time, a general strike brings people together in cooperation and solidarity, rather than staying the course of compliance and fear, by allowing the politicians and corporate class stay in power.

Consideration of a general strike is better than believing god loves you or someday you too can be a billionaire. It used to be getting a million bucks was the middle class dream, but, of course, dreams have to be adjusted, usually downward. An example of this is in the heroes america likes to manufacture, such as our presidents. Our presidents are basically lazy, genrally inarticulate (except in Obamas case) and lawyers, which evens out any dissimilarities of one being better than another. They all claim america is a nation of law and order but all of them have carved out exceptions to the rule of law, diminishing  the concept down to very heavy on order first, forgetting the laws of freedom, equality, and justice, which is i guess, dysfunctional in times of disorder. Better to quell dissenters rather than reckon with change. Keep things simple.

People only have their work as a means to bargain with. Work itself may not set you free like the nazis and capitalists believe, for everyone except themselves, but it is a freedom and a path to liberation when its under each person's control. Work is social but capital has rendered it impotent with isolating workers whether at computers or in the manufacturing industries. People staying home to work is definitely isolation unless cooperation is developed for the new ways to smooth out daily life.
