The evolution of the carrot

-

The carrot thinks its the king of all things until the rabbit comes around.

The rabbit thinks its king until the snake comes along, the snake thinks its king until the roadrunner comes along, the roadrunner thinks its king until the coyote comes along, the coyote is king until the cougar comes around, the cougar is king until the man with the gun comes along, the man with the gun thinks he's king until the men with planes, bombs, tanks come along, and the men with the armies think they're kings until the earth gives the land back to the carrots.

Then we start all over again.

The Billionaire Theater of the Absurd

The Billionaire Theater of the Absurd Would the left and or liberal media forget trump for a minute and get us to the future that doesn't include any of these clowns, puppets, or actors? They have relinquished their privilege of having us react, deny, or reject all of their ideas and visions based on the precepts of power, reason, and military strategy of the Middle Ages! Isnt a little late to be surprised that the billionaire club that has controlled american and international politics for decades now has turned traitor to any idea about freedom to worn out race, culture, and sex wars. They have put aside their individualistic notions about how people live to gather together to put the nails in the hands, feet, and coffins of all of us. Sure, we could just submit and line the Appian Way with crosses of dead and dying people, some of whom you might know, but mostly, you won't and submit our hearts but not our soul to their torture and war show. By ...

Stop Believing in Pete

-
I poured over darwin and jane goodall. Ernest Hemingway and Bettina Aptheker from the coliseum to stonehenge, today is pete hegseths tribunal for manager of the dept of defense, as if it matters who's in charge there, where the president has a remote office, just like at the cia. Why do we care? Where does pete hegseth fit in the scheme of right and wrong, democracy and total authoritarianism?   It's just an intellectual exercise. A game. It's like arguing the rules of war. Or international law. Nothing moves slower than moral  persuasion, except maybe glaciation. If the idea is to prevent another Hiroshima, My Lai, Wounded Knee, Pearl Harbor,  9/11 , Afghanistan, Iraq,  Oct 7th , Sudan, before the atrocity happens, then where is that solution? Israel is the perfect example of the institutionalized hubris of the modern nations and LA fires is the perfect example of the neglect that institutionalized hubris causes. Stop Thinking. We are the original AI. If AI is the i...

The Nation State

-
As revolutionaries of the future and not the present, we do have to realize that it doesn't matter who "wins" in the zionist, iran, hezbollah, hamas, us, ukraine, russia, houthi battle between fascist, nationalist forces because no matter who wins, we will still lose. Support for any nationalist, religious theocracy is only a false peace. In iran and many other nationalist revolutions, including america's own revolution, liberal, and, especially, progressive idealists have always been shoved under the bus. The left has been left out in the cold.   Lebanon is the current victim of zionism. To pretend that this is merely a "self-defense" is ignorant, it is the us/israel cleanup of terrorism as defined by 9/11 ideals. Do we need to remember the results of the last two american wars in the region? Iraq, under the auspices of corporate oil interests and afghanistan, taliban cultural, religious, and national restrictions still in effect since the 80's. S...

Today, Election Day, Nov 5th, 2024 (Short Term Memory)

-
 Something borrowed, something not blue, something old and never used. I don't know but if I didn't know better, it seems I've waited all my life for this day, or maybe, the day after, which would be tomorrow, wouldn't it be? You know, whatever day it is when a victor is announced. Will it be Project 2025 or Project Glad to Be Rid of Donald Trump But Everything Remains the Same, Sounds the Same, and Is the Same. Never mind. We have to wait. Old friends, who have passed from revolutionary to grandparent (whatever politics that is) calling yesterday to say they're too old to go live in the Canadian mountains if Trump is elected. I try and be calm and say, I'm too old to go through whatever either of these candidates offer for the future. I was left out of the Great American Dream long ago but i, like the billions of others on this earth, that are not in awe of the American diaspora, buckled down to work and play all our lives. Revolution according to Marx, or Mao ...

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 thinks are going, that Reichstag moment could comer soon 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 organi...

Disappointing Harris

-
(Wrote this when Harris was still relevant as a historical figure, like a supposed contender for the presidency but, by gosh, the rest is still the same) It's not that kamala harris is disappointing because being disappointed is merely an emotion of expectant results vs what you finally get from those expectations. What's really disappointing is that america has finally become a corporate, third world nation where money controls everything, even the thoughts of most well-intentioned progressives, which kamala harris is not among those, either. Her interview on cnn revealed what many of us (though not enough) already know, a harris presidency will only be influenced by catastrophic repercussions of former and past failures. From immigration, palestine, climate change, deterioration of national/international infrastructure, corporate allied governments are/will continue to be the influencers and "fixers." At some point people will understand it...

The Appian Way

Would the left and or liberal media forget trump for a minute and get us to the future that doesn't include any of these clowns, puppets, or actors? They have relinquished their privilege of having us react, accept, deny, or reject their ideas and visions based on old precepts of power, reason, and military strategy that came out of the Middle Ages! Isn't it a little late to be surprised that the billionaire club that has controlled american and international politics for decades (centuries) now has turned traitor to any ideas about freedom, driving us back to worn out ideas about race, culture, and sex wars? They have put aside their individualistic notions about how people should live together, and put the nails in our hands, feet, and built coffins for all of us. Sure, we could just submit and line the new Appian Way with crosses of our dead and dying people and rebellious, some of whom you might know, submit our hearts but not our soul to their tortu...

Gone Days, Good Riddance, On to What Ever the Future Dishes Out

-
 The words and terms, standards, rules, and laws are no longer useful. They've been beat down, corrupted, lied about, exposed, abused and mostly ignored, and forgotten. Gone are the days when we are one movement. If we ever were. maybe it’s the days when we thought we were one movement that are gone. We believed we were the first to control consciousness, corner it, like it was a beaten animal but it came out enraged and dangerous instead, ready to fight. The term human degenerated into the term ‘matter’ or "consumer." We had been broken down into dna, goals, ambition, and cannon fodder. No one will give a shit about any of us twenty years after we become successful. Even the greatest, strongest, most wealthy among us become footnotes in the history books, and sooner or later the history books will be obsolete because they will be so replete with lies and self-aggrandizing stories that reading or learning from Aesop’s Fables or the Holy Bible will be just as fulfilling, a...

Critique on the Revolutions Reported or Be Careful What You Ask For.

-
  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. They are 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 criticism ...

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 treatm...
