2024 Road to the Future

Prologue

In 2024 the nation will elect or reelect its president. It may seem a long way off but the midterms of 2022 are right around the corner and they may set the tone of the general election to come.

Although sometimes it may seem like the nation is in trouble, sometimes not so much, however when we look at the world at large, and not "through a soda straw" as Donald Rumsfeld was apt to say, we can see the large picture the USA pretends does not exist or the picture it merely gives lip service to.

Fascist and authoritarian personalities have come to the forefront of both american and worldwide politics when discontent with the status quo from left and right is high. Ever since covid, the end of the war in afghanistan, the beginning of the war in ukraine (and the beginning of a new cold war), straining of the relationships between world powers, economic policies, global climate change warming as well as warnings, all give rise to a worldwide concern and fear of a dire future, not to mention the internal dynamics within nations regarding the rise of white supremacy, cultural, religious, ethnic divisions, gun violence.

This podcast would concentrate on the American political system's ability or inability to manage its own internal issues as well as its own self-defined leadership role in the world's political theater by using the 2024 general election as a backdrop for both progressive and regressive/fascist/reactionary development.

More on this later.

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 conumdrum. 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 downright a 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 treatme...

No Forgiveness

-
Why i cant forgive america although i am a white man and have never experienced any of the terrible events in my lifetime that were precipitated by the false, faked, infallibility of the american dream. Yes, some may see me from the outside in, middle class, retired, comfortable but inside, a complex mixture of guilt, anger, fear, isolation, and a resounding moral standoff between my natural world and americas unnatural world that all of us are exposed to and manipulated by. Its toxicity on everyones minds, hearts, and souls is all encompassing. After much introspection, ive concluded some things that i have played out during the course of my life. There are three historical events that stand out for me in which america, as a nation, manifested. This manifestation goes beyond americas supposed principles of rights for all turned out to be for some and none, especially if whatever ethnic, race, gender group, or other nation anyone belonged to.   Those t...

Fwd: Two state solution

-
Two state solution Well, G azans are the ones living in dangerous times but not us. We have the choice and no matter how many chose the two-state solution over the last seventy years, no one here did enough to make that possible. It's always been dangerous times there. Always been evident that there would not ever be a two-state solution. Zionism believes in Israel for Jews, and not anyone else. All americans have been suckered into the idea zionism is judaism, and have fallen even further to believe anti-zionism is anti-semitism. The Holocaust was only an anomaly because it happened in the history of the modern western nations who have always ruled the world wherever they found it with slavery, genocide, ethnic cleansing, immigrant hating. It's a culture of violence, patriarchy, oligarchy that is prevalent in every corner of the world. It is the "evil" of which we all speak. It's controlled by profit and greed and manufactured by the people who have been stripp...

Genetics Don't Make Change

-
  ( This was written right after the election of Joe Biden in 2020) Dangerous Women “Lizzie Borden took an axe, then she gave her mother forty whacks.” Children’s Nursery Rhyme Perusing upcoming books recently I was suddenly struck by the notion that History has become a resource goldfield for liars and naïve opportunists who use it as a “Eureka” moment for disseminating false or arbitrary knowledge or knowledge for confusing the truth. I guess there some usefulness as well. Every now and then we all do need to be reminded that there is nothing new on this the most precious realm of God’s green earth except as some scientists report, five new genus (not genius’) of newts and salamanders. Take the book-Dangerous Women- a book I did not read. It could actually be called anything else as long as it promised women a tete a tete (in this case between an author and the reader) of titillation, especially for the remnants of women who either forgot or have been isolated in librarie...

Freedom Will Win

-
  It's a wonder the lengths progressives will have to go through to explain their beliefs. To have to explain that Zionism does not represent Judaism to every god-fearing soul who wants to believe that what's happening in Gaza is an act of Jews defending themselves from a hateful, terroristic people, who, in reality, are people just like the Jews who live ordinary lives in Israel and in the rest of the world. Equating Zionism to Judaism is like equating Isis or the Taliban or even Saudi Princes to Islam. Yes, those terroristic examples use Islam in the same way Zionism uses Judaism. All that is not to say that religion itself, in all it's various forms, has not been the main harbinger of not always hate but a disguise for oppression, war, and the renunciation of freedom everywhere.  Let's face it. All the problems, worldwide, relating to the status of non-believers, the status of women, the status of freedom are connected to religious beliefs, which, of themselves, are ...

UnitedHealth Limiting Mental Health Coverage Puts Patients’ Treatment at Risk

-
(Here's some info about united health from truthout) Neither Truthout nor any other news source is not responsible for anything I might say about anything. They try their best to be as reliable a news source any of us on the progressive side of things might want. But after reading this article which was written back in mid-november before the ceo of united heath was assassinated a week or so ago, i asked myself if we all will start dealing with a new (and old) phenomenon of progressives with a gun, or a former mental health patient of united health, or anyone with a gun who will shoot down anybody, or a turned republican with a misinformed grudge against obamacare, Nevertheless, he is causing quite a stir with the CEO healthcorp executive branches.  https://truthout.org/articles/unitedhealth-limiting-mental-health-coverage-puts-patients-treatment-at-risk/?utm_campaign=Truthout+Share+Buttons Sent from my iPad

The New America

-
The New America this time will be the better America. Now that we know who the enemy is because the enemy has legitimately taken over all the institutions we have suspected of being not in our interests, the interests of peace, love, and understanding. All the political philosophies from Marxism to Fascism try and direct our lives in such a way that we always have to leave something behind, some integral piece of the puzzle of living in any society, a society that represents the best of us and the worst of us. We are not perfect by any means but in a society where humility isn't even considered a positive trait because the humble get erased by those who outwardly seek power and money. In a society where seeking peace is the ultimate in futility because we are a society of weapons makers, users, and abusers. In a society where wanting to be free from hate is asking too much as the hate rises to the top of the political heap. No, we are not perfect by any means. One of the goo...

Those who believe

-
Those who believe they're successful because of the powerful and inspiring voices of their parents saying, "you can be whatever you want," appealing to magical incantations of hope, to become the chosen ones. Immigrants are nothing but new settlers, new plymouth rocks or jamestowns, bringing not hope but old religions and false beliefs to the country that wishes it could be free but isnt. The little country that could try evolving to the glutton that would grow beyond its borders, to expand beyond the simplicity of peace and prosperity, to lose everything to the belief might makes right and right is mighty blind, deaf, and mean. Welcome you all to hell on earth. Come and appeal your cause. Politics is nothing but the management of resources through working for what you can pay for as determined by the owners of those resources. That's all. Not about what fools think god wants, what presidents want, what billionaires want. It's about wha...

The new blind men

-
 It appears that for the first time the content you can't read is a prose poem/rant that was written long ago about the stifling of life by the armies of the night, our own governments, taking our freedoms from the moment we are born. A complaint was made by one of those lessor blind men, or I suppose, a woman, who are trying to pretend we are a nation of freedom loving souls but first we have to cull out what freedoms we want to promote. I am an anti-fascist, an anti-authoritarian, and ever since i was seventeen standing around in the war room of intelligence/op-plans i have not recognized the right of the United States to be the Supreme Leader of the world. Today it fosters genocide and colonialism in the mid-east. Two centuries ago, it fostered genocide and colonialism (both forms of slavery and white supremacy) within its own changing borderlines. In between centuries, America.
