This is an unoriginal piece written back in 2010 by Brainiac whoever that is, while I was perusing the photos of handshaking the tyrants, a good exercise to rejuvenate, reactivate the knowledge that what happened a few days ago, now referred to by the media as "that thing that happened on Tuesday, Nov 8, 2016" is probably a good case of Karma for everyone involved, a Karma that is certainly going to carry me through the rest of my life, Part 2, like The Election of 1968, Part 1, carried me this far.
It's a whole New World Order. So maybe you can read this and laugh at yourself for being such a sucker. Sober up and take off your dancing shoes.

Fw: Open letter

-
Open letter This should be copied and sent to your least favorite politician, priest, president, non-elected official, org donation request, or all of above. Here's a fact. The democrats controlled the house, senate, and/or the presidency twelve years in the last sixteen years. This fact alone should give any reasonable person a moments pause when it comes to blame for our current political predicament. In those twelve years the israel lobby made sure that whichever party ( which is a complete misnomer, isnt it?) maintained its anti-two state solution and worked american guilt over the holocaust of world war two. Blaming the  palestinians for Israel's placement in the palestinian homeland by the western powers, including the united nations, is like blaming the iraqi and afghani people for 9/11. Even that bit of reasoning should be enough to convince liberals that it doesn't make sense for them to maintain a political distance from the republican stance while the future hold...

If we look at the two current primary issues in ame

-
I f we look at the two current primary issues in america today, migration/immigration and israel/palestine, historians should note, as well as we, that these issues convey a sense of futility and weakness in the capitalist form of democracy that exists here. We live in a representative democracy rather than a direct democracy, which has deteriorated into corporations not only being "registered" as individuals/persons who wield tremendous "representative" types of influence on our democracy. The issues between technological advancements such as deepseek and openai are consistently running up against the cold war formula of always remaining stagnant because of the differences in any particular country's current relationship to another's. The cold war formula is the basis for stagnancy in most of the world's economic and political discourse and action. As i mentioned above, issues like israel/ palestine are complex but because certain national factions are...

If all this seems happening a little too fast, i ca

If all this seems happening a little too fast, i can remind you again, that donald t-rump did not invent fascism nor did he begin the long draught of nation state toxic swigging thats been going on WORLDWIDE forever. Kings, queens, popes and preachers have been fostering the kill the messenger message for as long as they've written the history of the world. I was watching an old, old like meaning before most americans today were neither born nor escaped and migrated from foreign lands, by the way, carrying a false american dream around their heads like halos, a tape of a young mike wallace interviewing ayn rand. Ayn rand wrote, maybe, two significant books in her lifetime, the fountainhead and atlas shrugged and far be it for me to divulge the meaning to any young, wistful for the past, person or wanna be dreamer of the american dream (without socialism). Basically, her outlook on life was called selfishness (self interest) by her detractors and "objectivism" by her inte...

death #1

-
Allred-Be careful what you'll die for. Imagine, one breath more, is all he wanted, this fear, this colorless slime, this death passing before his eyes, Invisible wisps of a life repulsed, Hearkening us to return to our rituals, Water on the forehead, shoulders, lips Washing of our hands in absolution, silent prayers of salvation, Sacrifices and retributions. i doth confess, Whateth now do i live for? To merely survive? Pray for one more dawn to draw breath upon, One last toast, held high, salutations Regrets, none. Right now Life still abides willed strong, Moments left to memorialize what I leave behind, What Days ahead can i count on? Worship. None are solidly promised, languid and ethereal hopes and fears, what any of us can dream, What am i forgetting? What can I take with me? Appreciate love I've been given, have never seen, forgive the lack of universal reconciliations, Decide who to see ...

Fw: I am part of a mixed race family

-
I am part of a mixed-race, multi-ethnic family made of those who are young and old, middle class, working class, alcoholics, drug addicts, and multi-sexual, right and wrong, feminist and strong, hidden and out in the open. According to 23 and me i have thousands of 4th generation cousins, most of whom I have no idea who or where they came from or what they believe or hold sacred. In other words, I belong to a typical american family, if you want to call such a conglomeration of people a family. The most revolutionary thing i feel I can do at this point in my life is try not to believe I am making progress in a world that I believe is going backward.  My own politics are sometimes mean and impatient. Sometimes i want to kill the intellectual in me and murder the powers that are not in me that be. I am frustrated with my isolation (being a retired senior, i am as invisible and unheard as anyone can be) an...

As we get further and further along in this particu

As we get further and further along in this particular genocide, the emergence and reemergence of anti- holocaust and hero worship over resistance against the nazis, we, once again, slip into some sort of historical nostalgia that hardly anyone alive today lived through nor experienced. The holocaust was horrible and those who survived or resisted it, especially in those countries who initially did nothing about it, or supported it, are brave indeed. But as we witness the anti-semitic state of israel supported by the anti-semites of america, western nations, I'm wondering if there will be a day when all those gazans murdered not over the last year, but the decades preceding Oct 7th, 2023 will be seen as victims too. Thats history for you. You can't trust it but we got to have it, it's our memory. Of course, americans will confuse the issue by some harming innocent jews in synagogues and others just trying to get some justice for gazans, which will be a lifelong project. If ...

The climate book by Greta Thunberg

-
Back in the ice age 1990s when mobile exxon one of the largest warming producers discovered itself as a climate killer, reneged on its own responsibility and suggested that consumers reduce their own carbon footprint. The left always seems so insulted that anyone except corporations bear responsibility for anything bad thats happening, as if obsessive consumerism (that is, the compulsive need to purchase based on advertising, enticements, or wealth, regardless of whether or not said purchases are detrimental in one way or another to a persons health, well-being, need, or conscience) is the only reason corporations provide them. In other words, no buy, no product. It has something to do with consciousness raising, which most people, black and white, rich or born, seem to be adverse to. On the other hand, the right wants us to believe that we have any right,or should have any right to complete individual freedoms and we humans are NOT a danger to ourselves because God...

Want to Go to Mars?

-
Mars Take a look at the Mars program. I hear China is taking kids to a site where there are buildings like the ones might be built on Mars in the middle of a landscape similar to the one on Mars. Isn't that ironic? Why travel to Mars is my question? If you want to build a communal, self-contained "settlement," just start right here on our more friendly Earth, although it's probably true, if we were on Mars, we woudn't have to start killing and committing genocide against the beings that are there before us, but we won't know, will we, before we get there? Columbus statues are being torn down here on Earth while rebel astonauts on Mars might raise the Dixie flag. Americans and the Chinese are looking crazier and crazier aren't they? Along with the Israelites, Russkies, and everybody else that has to do with Republicanisms. Death Valley just registered the hottest temperatures on Earth. Why not build a Disney thing there on Mars? Why can't we forsake tha...

The More things change the more they remain the same

Critique on the Revolutions Reported or Be Careful What You Ask For. I've been critical of the so called 'revolutions' taking place around the globe recently, including the Occupy movement of a couple of years ago. The so-called social media revolutions because they were built on the availability of social media to engage many people that may not have ever been engaged. As we've seen the revolutions in Northern Africa slip from the news, the Occupy Movement slip from having any relevance at all, and Egypt, Syria, Ukraine, and other nation states, some newsworthy and some not, slip into and out of chaos, my criticism seems well founded. I'm only critical of how all these mass movements became reported, analyzed, and prognosticated by the media which supposedly supported or reported on them. We have reached a point in our history where mass media (free press) has been accepted as the main stay of a free society, such as we like to describe ours, without any real criti...
