  23:31 “This is why Marx calls Capitalism ultimately a revolutionary force; there’s no internal or external check on their pillage and their greed and this is now having very very dire social and political consequences-” 28:18 “Any hope comes from sustained mass civil disobedience-”  

Looks like a blue lives matter supporter was shot and killed in downtown Portland a few hours ago. Here we go- it is only going to get worse from now on. If it turns into a roller coaster ride likely the only way to stop it is if Trump resigns and Pence promises a peacefulContinue reading “64 Days and another person is shot”

Nothing happened yesterday or last night in Portland. Waiting for the shooting to really start. 1:05 If God wants a crook, then the evangelicals have their wish. Electing people who proclaim government is not your friend means they are not your friend because We the people essentially are the government through our representatives. “Small governmentContinue reading “65 Days and waiting for real trouble”

I have the feeling this is going to be one of those days. Not quite 0700 where I live and I am not optimistic about today…and tonight. It is very likely that some of these people are going to die because they sat there for hours for their cult leader. If Biden shuts down theContinue reading “66 Days and a freaky Friday”

4:28 “I literally breathe, it’s a big technique and it will happen in the moment and I will just stop and then just take deep breaths and I will have a little something I say like breathe in power, breathe out anger-” I breathed in power and breathed out a spontaneous “do something.” Maybe IContinue reading “67 Days and QNAnon might work”

So the militia guy, looks like a 17 year old, shot some people in Kenosha. https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/election?p0=263&iso=20201103T00&msg=2020%20US%20Presidential%20Election https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ellievhall/kenosha-suspect-kyle-rittenhouse-trump-rally This is not going well. The media seems in my perception to not be jumping on it- I would guess because they know how serious this is. I am scared about how this could develop. The video ofContinue reading “68 Days and the shooting is starting”

How do I keep missing days? Have I been abducted by aliens again? Just got off a thirteen hour night shift and I am beat.

I believe it was last year I had a conversation with a coworker about the political landscape and he questioned my “patriotism”, asking me if I “believe in America.” I told him that people “believe” in different stories that explain reality and he snickered at that as if I was talking nonsense. I then askedContinue reading “71 Days till a New Frontier?”

One of the best pieces I have seen in years. Thank you Wade Davis and Amanpour&Co. My comment on YouTube: “We have discovered we live in kind of a failed state with a dysfunctional government.” It is called Neoliberalism- Hayek and the Chicago school worked for decades to undermine Embedded Liberalism and it went downhillContinue reading “72 Days”
