T-rump wins. George jr wins Reagan wins, Nixon wins Nader loses, gore loses, harris loses, mcgovern loses, carter loses, clinton loses If you like the way that sounds, think about it. Climate change rejected, fast trains rejected, equal rights (a s in the amendment), abortion rights rejected, workers' rights (as in livable wage, immigrant rights, union rights), any kind of socialism (as in social security, as in health care, as in wealth equality, as in taxation,). All rejected or, at the very least, ignored or compromised by the main political factions. The fact of the matter is the left in america is a trojan horse to most of america. There is no other reason for the consistent emergence of political contenders who represent the complete opposite of what progressives say they want. It doesn't take a genius to see that what things cost these days, there is no way any working person would sacrifice their livelihood, family and even, self, to get things they themselves feel th...

It was a love fest at the DNC the first night. Everybody loved Joe, Joe loved everybody. Even Hilary seemed love was in the air. Love, love, love. The democrats loved the middle class and where appropriate, they loved the working class, which includes, i presume, means everybody, except billionaires and scabs. I was close to shedding a tear or two until i fell asleep during Bidens long winded self-congratulatory speech. 50 minutes. When i woke up and he was still talking, for some reason i thought of the thousands outside the arena and the short story by edgar allen poe called The Masque of the Red Death.   Although there were no masks there' there was no there there, either. No mention of the gaza genocide, i guess because palestinians are not middle class nor working class, giving creedence to the hidden truth behind america, which is humanitarian and humanistic principles of equality, justice, and which all come to a full stop at this border, or at the ...

What is a person? Is a person a legal term? A corporation is a person A set of cells is a person. A nation is a person The constitution said "All Men" were like persons, but it meant some were not, as well as women, landless, poor, slaves, and indigenous non-persons. That was corrected or amended as differentiating between those nonpersons and persons became, if not cumbersome, more difficult. Who is not a person? A palestinian isnt a person. A queer is not a person. Dependent on where you are in the world and who you are, you may or may not be a person. Who creates personhood? The supreme court creates. The congress creates The scientific community creates. The religious communities create You create. Christians point to the declaration of independence as a reference to america being "one nation under god", perhaps but are we governed by god? Is god a person? Does god have a personality? Does a corporation? A nation? Some persons claim god speaks through them an...

We are all criminals. America deported over 500 so called ""criminals" the last couple of days. This is part of the new executive order to deport all criminals, which really means anyone undocumented is a criminal, regardless of whether or not they are otherwise law abiding. This definition of "criminal" as meaning anything, which could be interpreted as thinking that supports anything illegal, such as abortion, could be considered "criminal". A similar belief that anti-israeli/zionist atrocities is anti-semitism and falls under all laws against discrimination. Ironically, this is the emblem of the fascist who turn everything on its head, upsidedown. Anytime Man makes exceptions to basic principles and creates an authority in order to establish definitions and enforce standards and differences, we begin to tread on dangerous ground. We are all criminals, and imprison them, deport them, murder them but as Marcus Garvey says, "you cannot imprison t...

 Free Speech Test It every time you're sure their wrong and you're not going to be their stool pigeon. Don't tell on your co-workers, your neighbors, classmates, your friends and anyone else. (more coming soon)

  Here is something i wrote in 2015 and still true today. a miracle of some substance. Will americans actually vote for the candidate that delivers the best one liners. I think everybody was entertained by Donald Trump, who is the least democratically inclined candidate I’ve ever experienced. With Trump, we probably can dispense with the Congress altogether and he can simply issue decrees. I have no idea who would want to be his vice president, since we can probably dispense with one of those too.   The Supreme   Court is useless against him as is the Constitution. He’s figuratively and literally a one man show. But alas, he merely shows the fateful weakness in the american system because the one entity he can’t replace but must work with is the military and corporations. As every president in the modern era has shown, ideals, principals and even laws cannot stop the military from getting what it wants nor the corporations from getting what they want. As every president i...

  Martin Luther King Day and Inauguration Day, MLK, DT. I saw where hundreds marched in my home town on Saturday to protest the Trump Presidency. I wonder who organizes these things. Why couldn't the anti-DT march forces join the MLK forces as a show of strength and solidarity? It's cold as hell in the east and hot as, well, you know, hell in the west. And never the twain shall meet, they say. Some women were freed in israel and the annexed palestine. They say conditions were rough but they are smiling, glad to be free, as most of us would be. Even if they think they can, or if we think they could, all the banks, the militaries, all the wealthy and tyrannical men won't or can't or even shouldn't try to do what all the kings men and horses couldn't do, put the broken humpty dumpty back together again. It's one big puzzle, missing many pieces, but, believe me, when i say, they'll give it a try, because hopelessness is what their known for. So, as i watch h...

(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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

 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 ...

 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...

- seeds of dissent root in the blood of martyrs together, we were strong, then Apart, we fall unto a sword of personal perdition,  acceptance of their insanity, over our own desires. Opened our arms to their vendettas,  Became what we once despised. an age-old rhyme, freedom fighters  How can change happen in a country where policy makers age out their worn-out old ideas about the world against the persistence of the young, the insistence of new minds who dont want old men with old minds to protect them. The old architects of fear, who can only build castles, walls, moats, call it progress,  shame on them, Here we are at Columbia again sixty years later, the same issues, same monsters running to the shelter of their always dying society,  dying. dead.  The children of the children of the children consummated by the old vestiges of war, genocide, lies. Encircled. We've seen this ...

I could never be a martyr. Sit like siddartha, pour gasoline on my head, and strike the match of my desire. Choose where you want to be. It used to be in front of at Dow Chemical They wrote big boy on a nuclear bomb, A plane, a drone, a white house that never listens. The children of the children's children wiped from the earth.
