The void is expanding, collateral damage is mounting and still there will be nowhere to run! It’s so deeply troubling that those who would otherwise be on the frontline – opposing those who prefer the destruction of this Nation- have been silenced all the while the number of so-called experts are populating at a feverish rate; authoritarians offering commentary on issues they know absolutely nothing about. What continues to happen is the over-seeding of various threats all based entirely on false narratives the effect of which is not unlike a circular firing squad. The issue is not, or should it ever be, a choice over two competing death sentences but over a path that moves the whole forward and away from certain death.  Read more...

First off, don’t expect to hear the U.S. State Department (or Pentagon) releasing any report regarding the actual cause of the fire that at the moment seems pretty clear will render this twenty-two year old amphibious assault ship an unsalvageable hulk of twisted metal; given the reporting of multiple explosions along with fire temps in excess of 1000 degrees piercing (so far) at least eight of the ships fourteen decks I do believe this ship will be sold to China for scrap. So severe is the mounting damage that it is highly unlikely that even the Pentagon, long known for its incredible ability to lay waste to mounds of taxpayer dollars, will dare tender a repair and restore request to the U.S. Congress.  Read more...

Major shifts, often seismic in nature, in social order have always been preceded by some tumultuous events, threats of war used as a social lubricant for flipping public opposition, financial collapses triggered to expand/protect financial influences and interest, economic collapse used to expand government control or shift or affect economic rewards, assassinations (including attempts) used to expand police powers, terrorist claims used to restrict movement and so on. Interesting though is that there has yet to be a case were expanded authorities or economic interests, war or surrendering of personal liberties have ever prevented or limited a nascent threat; yes indeed, the war to end all wars seems (always) to be beyond the reach of the next promise.  Read more...

The politician will readily burn the vehicle they road to power in the belief that by doing so they can keep you from removing them from it; this is the most clinically profound distinction that separates a Chuck Schumer from a George Washington, an Ocasio-Cortez from a Mercy Warren or a Colin Kaepernick from one Crispus Attucks. These contemporary Flavors-of-the-Month, like their fellow patricians, view history, and the virtues of its body as integral to our national legacy, as nothing more than a transient obstacle best used as a paint-by-impulse-or-to-suit messaging campaign. None of the current feast-of-fascists antics are new, novel or even sudden. No, in point of fact, this denouement has been under way ever since the Progressive Ideologs first made their appearance (early 1900’s) and even then it wasn’t until November 22, 1963 when the unstoppable effects of critical mass would finally breached the frame of our national portrait.  Read more...
