The It Person
The Have and Have Nots Never practiced in front of the mirror how to lie or bribe, talk dirty or ascribe to deception, Or what I’d say when I died to make everything fine about what I did Or did not do to make it all right. If the have nots only want what the haves have in regards to material wealth, then nothing’s changed. If the oppressed only want to be the oppressor then nothing’s changed. If the haves won't share/give to the have nots, then nothing’s changed. There's only so much to go around and too few have too much, many have what they don't need, and too many want what can't be bought and can only be stolen. When will it stop? This merry go round of desperation and greed. My only hope is that somewhere in the world/now a child has been born / who will never bend to old/ never forever be disgraced upon the public stage/ never regret the folly of youth nor the wisdom of old age/ recant the superiority of race and division of gende...
Bringing it back home
I have liberal friends, or acquaintances who say they speak up when they have to but when it comes to their friends and especially family, they remain quiet in order to maintain "civil". Thats whats wrong with freedom of speech, or for that matter, any freedom, even democracy. We either are self-restricting or as in the case of democracy, only gripe if our choices, which have been restricted, are not that satisfying. Freedom of speech also becomes irrelevant at thanksgiving dinners, office water coolers, or in bars and social clubs where dancing or drinking are supreme. Sure, one can make alot of trouble for themselves by utilizing any of the above mentioned opportunities to rant and rave about what anyone considers grave injustice in the world. Since people need jobs, it's not too bright to be the only one at your place of work who wants to speak up about injustice. Of course, one can exercise freedom of choice by finding another job or just not working at all but that ...
Sex and Violence
When you get as close as Him and his fellatio totalitarians are to accomplishing and finishing off any semblance to the New Deal, the old constitution, the new society, and anything else they can get their hands on, you can count on a dreary future, at least until the HOPE of mid-term elections is closer to the drawing board. Sad that the only HOPE is the slight chance of going backwards to another time when Congress, the lawmaking, budget creating, and war (as will, I suppose, PEACE) making representative of the American people can give up it's Constitutional privileges once again, to the highest bidder. Of course, their hands never get dirty. Free thinking about the war on sexual freedom. Although we all can argue what an adult is and at what magical age, we all become adults, whoops, that's the problem isn't it? Agreement is based not on what may be abuse, such as an age of consent or acceptable age of adulthood or a standard set on positions o...
Everything is not about america
Maya and all the other alternative news media who pride themselves on telling the truth about fascism, you're not really telling the truth. Everything is not about america just because america seems to be at the center of what's wrong with the world, just because we are in america. whatever is happening now has been happening before and since we were born. we were born into this life and have been shielded, protected, and miseducated, except for those who found they were born into this life, unprotected, but even those dont know how it all came to be. Here's the truth that no one wants to hear. At the top of the food chain, those who govern the governments, those who arm the militaries, those who own the resources, those who employ the people, even those who run the charities have nothing to do with those who live, work, play, shop, in the streets, homes, parks, businesses, fields. We are all the same. Whether in Iran, Cuba, Russia, America, Mexico,...
Its here.
Its here. The revolution. The revolution i didnt want. And it was and is being televised. Nothing secret about it. No cabal, no secret organization, no terroristic organization, just the one unified principle, moneys power to change the world. I'ts the revolution of dagny taggart and john galt. If anyone believes that real change comes about through democracy, equal rights, cooperation, or in the belief of good triumphing over evil, they are mistaken. There are good people, there are good efforts, there are good ideas but there are no good autocratic, authoritarian, medieval revolutions. The human world is comprised of the layered ruins of everything- political, theocratic, nationalistic civilizations. The revolution of the wheel, of the light bulb, of the oil driven machines, all have contributed to the furtherance of civilization, yet, political power was, and still is, maintained by primitive, traditionalist medieval movements. We all have to...
Free thinking
The free thinking society The freedom to work. A belief that a persons "work" is the basis for alł oppression. The belief that the primary oppression is the tyranny of supremacy of "work" ownership by profit directed economics. When you continue to use the term "alien" thats going to ultimately affect how you treat them. Racism, geneism, ethnic cleansing, genocidal practices are all practices that impede and oppress the natural freedom every person's right to survival. Survival, not of the fittest, but of necessity. From homeless to low wage, from women, children, and men to they, her, him, or it. Does anyone remain who is not skeptical of the ignorant totalitarians who have "legitimately" broken the " gentleman Code of conduct developed from the religious-capital squabbles of the mid fifteenth century forward? The roman salute vs heil hitler. Complements of Musk, who has suddenly been elevated to Oliv...
A General Strike?
http://portside.org/2017-02-06/whose-strike THIS IS A GOOD PIECE, A General Strike? 'GET SOBER FOLKS' . I'm interested in movement organizing strategy... lots of people discussing this topic right now. If the 9th Circuit does right, will Trump ignore the decision.....sort of Andy Jackson reborn from the Bank Fight and the Indian cases of the mid 1830s? I watched the NPR show tonight on the Oklahoma bombing of 1995. Amazing how much force the cops used and the resources they had, which turned them all into boneheads on steroids who drove McVeigh nuts. 168 Dead! The way things are going, that Reichstag moment could come sooner than we may have anticipated. Labor is too weak in numbers and political strength to lead the United Front, and the broader post Woman's March movement is too inchoate at this point to fully predict how it will emerge? Yet, I'm optimistic. I have visited or done a little work with a few different ...
History the looking glass path
History and the past is the looking glass path upon which we travel to see where we are going next, into an ever shrinking future, a short, a small, a smaller, a maze of lies, deceits, and reckless genocides, a conundrum of rudderless motion, where we entangle ourselves in misinterpretations, dreams, and eunuch philosopies. We will become extinct before we go to mars. Thats the bet. Then try another way, over and over again and again, try, try, again. Back to the same starting point, repeating ourselves with a new wand, sword or magical thinking, like a snake eating its tail. Ever Since the scientists of Egypt discovered the permanence of death and worship of the afterlife, the stars scattered throughout the universe, the world and our place in it has shrunk, and no matter how far or how much we can imagine, the smaller we became like Alice in the looking glass. our destiny becomes more and more tenuous and ridiculous as i...
A Translation of Inaugural Address- by Frederick Foote
Dear Readers, you may have missed Donald Trumps’ inaugural address out of antipathy and disgust. However, the address was very revealing if you understand Trump Speak. Trump Speak is a dialect that has its foundation in misinformation, exaggeration, lies, bellicose bombast, and self-promotion. This vernacular assumes that the one correct view of the world is Trumps. And every other perspective is not just wrong but is a treasonous affront to Trump and, therefore, a seditious insult to the nation. I’m far from an expert in Trump Speak, but I have provided my translation of the inaugural hectoring on Across the Margin at: http://acrossthemargin.com/trumps-inaugural-address/
