We will see what 7 December 2025 brings. Six years ago people spelled it out loud and clear, but nobody was paying attention. That was the slow suicide of democracy and the end of America. I did not really understand this until Harris lost. Now I do.

Fifty Trillion Dollars, Brick by Brick to Oligarchy
That is how much money has been transferred from the bottom 90 percent to the top 1 percent over the last half a century. What happened a half century ago? Then end of New Deal imbedded liberalism and the rise of neoliberal Market Fundamentalism. The Reagan Revolution. This has brought us three people having moreContinue reading “Fifty Trillion Dollars, Brick by Brick to Oligarchy”
Fiat Lux
Trump is in so now this kind of garbage will flood the zone. All we can pray is that showers and ovens do not follow. The only subject I ever received A’s in was Anthropology, so this hits a nerve. When the white supremacists start coming out and using denigration of other races to poisonContinue reading “Fiat Lux”

Malign Intentions
11:45 “Unfortunately the country that seems to be doing the worst, where the institutions seem to be faltering most dramatically, is the United States, so the country that is traditionally perceived as the leader of the democratic world, that has actually been a model for a lot of the rest of the world, you knowContinue reading “Malign Intentions”
Very Bad Sign
These completely over-the-top-crazy cabinet picks might be a way to compile an enemies list; I saw this done with “human relations meetings” in a couple organizations. The meetings were not about identifying problems, they were about identifying potential troublemakers so they could be pushed out and replaced with cronies. Anybody who starts saying we cannotContinue reading “Very Bad Sign”
1939 But Worse
Too late….we lost. FDR did not get reelected, the fascist did. It is the end of America. Nothing can save us except the one thing we will never do…a military takeover ending with Trump and his many cronies in Guantanamo and never allowed to hold any office or engage in subverting democracy again. Ever. TheContinue reading “1939 But Worse”
The Manosphere Demon
Mammon, one of the seven princes of hell, may presently be the god of this world, but it is likely Lucifer, who represents pride and was in first place for millennia, who may have taken over the manosphere centuries ago when money became so powerful. Peter Binsfeld’s 1589 system of classification of demons put prideContinue reading “The Manosphere Demon”
