Semiquincentennial, Sestercentennial, Quarter Millennium or Bicenquinquagenary; whatever term you want…America, at 248 years, is not going to make it. 12:50 to 18:45 Hegseth has tattoos that white supremacists also favor. Nazis. He attained the rank of Major, which is between a Captain commanding about 200 and a Lieutenant Colonel commanding up to 3000. He wasContinue reading “Use of Force”

Nothing Can Save Us Now
@garychurch9237Terrifying….slash and burn the U.S. government and hand it all over to crony capitalists. When Trump is sworn in it will be the end of America. Nothing can save us now. The greatest nation in history destroyed by a con man and the price of eggs. The truth in one minute from 20 years ago.Continue reading “Nothing Can Save Us Now”
Uninhabitable
They really do not know how bad it will be…only that it will be bad. While the denial goes on. Space Solar Power by way of lunar resources is the only solution to Climate Change by relocating the feedback loop of the energy industry off-world.
A Limitarian Political Party
The only question in a democracy is how much a person gets to keep, which depends on how much the rest of us are empowered to keep other people from keeping everything. Wealth concentrates upward slowly but surely and eventually a small group of people own everything and everyone. This has been going on forContinue reading “A Limitarian Political Party”
Jurassic Park to New America
It occurred to me that what has happened resembles, in some ways, the 30-year-old movie Jurassic Park. The movie’s central character is Alan Grant, who studies dinosaurs. In the story of the end of America, the central character represents the white male, 60 percent of whom voted for Trump. In the movie the rich guyContinue reading “Jurassic Park to New America”
Jurassic Park
Brooks is right about a few things….but he is not worried about Donald Trump’s fascism? He thinks candidates like John Fetterman are the future? He reduces the election to high school against college degrees? This is the problem that ended America…being half right. We try to pick out the things that we personally “feel” areContinue reading “Jurassic Park”
Stage Five
America has ended….whatever is to come will not be what it was. If the fascist state now consolidating power falls, then what comes after will be “New America“… if it restores democracy. Accepted. Stage Five complete. 11:38 “He’ll implicitly say they want me to abuse my power, they’ve given me permission to do whatever IContinue reading “Stage Five”
Veterans Day and Trump
The avatar of self-interest is Donald Trump. With him as your hero there is no shame in anything you want for yourself. I am very familiar with this ideology after dealing with the Ayn-Rand-in-space-libertarians for the last 15 years. They are loud and proud about there being absolutely nothing having any meaning except money. TrumpContinue reading “Veterans Day and Trump”
I See Nazis Coming Out
“Strongmen rewrite history to justify their abuses of power and they depend on fear to control their followers.” But… “He does not have unlimited power.” “(America) -has a history of more than 250 years in which power has been systematically dispersed throughout society.” “-so, there is (an) enormous reservoir of resistance and authority that weContinue reading “I See Nazis Coming Out”
Stage Four
It is Sunday morning….and the sadness is not overwhelming like it was Wednesday, when I woke up to the end of America. Profound confusion is more the ground I walk on now. It occurred to me after I woke up that in the weeks leading up to the election, I was building up my excitementContinue reading “Stage Four”
