Too much to think and emotions incapable of being dismissed easily reminding me of my youthful loyalty to the Anti-War Movement and wondering where have all the protestors gone, long time passing? DU munitions sent by the UK to Ukraine were promptly destroyed by Russia and the radiation blows West. Europe is not monitoring the radiation so to not dismay the public. Boris Johnson is in Dallas urging moar moar moar weapons for the Ukraine. Biden doubles down by saying Ukraine gets F-16’s for freedom equipped to carry (presumably not, but after all why not) nuclear weapons. And better still John Rubino states and I think he is correct-
The amount of money we are borrowing is catastrophic. Historians are going to look back at this era, and they are just going to wonder why we allowed it to happen and what were we thinking. We are destroying the global financial system by allowing governments to borrow this much money. The debt limit thing is being called a crisis, and if they let it go too far, it will be a crisis...
...I think this game of chicken will end in the not-too-distant future, and if it doesn’t, they have an ulterior motive. They want to crash the economy because that achieves something for them...
...We can speculate about this. The party in power wants to crash the economy, and that is a very dark scenario... They are willing to burn down the world around them to get what they want.
Look at Russia-gate and the contents of the Durham Report. The Democrats are willing to do stuff like that... I would not put it past the Democrats to plan and implement it if they think it benefits them.” https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/rubino-warns-theyre-willing-burn-down-world-get-what-they-want
And then we come to the “cure-well just kidding sez CDC” for Covid that is injected into anything and continues to wend it’s way and murder millions.
And then the horse race for Greater Fool is on in a rigged race. After all no one expects the Deep State to lose and if the horse they do not want wins, all agencies march in lock step to destroy the horse that won. This is a-okay with not very angry but very butt ugly Americans.
A post-Marxist culture—one that kept Marx’s radical materialism and denial of religious transcendence, while dispensing with his confident predictions about the self-destruction of capitalism—would naturally tend to be radically bourgeois. By that, Del Noce meant a society that views “everything as an object of trade” and “as an instrument” to be used in the pursuit of individualized “well-being.” Such bourgeois society would be highly individualistic, because it could not recognize any cultural or religious “common good.” In the Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels described the power of the bourgeois worldview to dissolve all cultural and religious allegiances into a universal market. Now, ironically, Marxist ideas (which Del Noce viewed as a much larger and more influential phenomenon than political Marxism in a strict sense) had helped bring that process to completion. At a conference in Rome in 1968, Del Noce looked back at recent history and concluded that the post-Marxist culture would be “a society that accepts all of Marxism’s negations against contemplative thought, religion, and metaphysics; that accepts, therefore, the Marxist reduction of ideas to instruments of production. But which, on the other hand, rejects the revolutionary-messianic aspects of Marxism, and thus all the religious elements that remain within the revolutionary idea. In this regard, it truly represents the bourgeois spirit in its pure state, the bourgeois spirit triumphant over its two traditional adversaries, transcendent religion and revolutionary thought.”
In the 3d year of our Covid the end is nigh and the putative Medical Freedom Movement is stuck. Why? Extraordinary Americans they are not. Normal upwardly mobile Americans believe in the actually existing system to this hour. A political Savior God will make everything better, you know like in “Hey Jude” everything gets “better better better” with politician Hercules. So instead of being radical and screaming if not for insurrection then for mass protests that put the 60’s to shame we are hearing silence. No one says pay no tax. No one says create a groundswell of resistance. Instead the expectation is next election we will be free at last. No heavy lifting. Just quietism.
I came of age in a different world. It never left my head. Politics until Gulf War 2 had me engaged. After Gulf War 2 my attention turned to survival. I turned inward. I observed.
I observe now that without a large mass movement large numbers will die painfully and slowly from poison injected into all life. It is not so much that we must march my darlings, but we must resist. If we do not protest Guevara’s foco theory (foquismo) will be put into action-a doctrine of revolution in Latin America drawn from the experience of the Cuban Revolution and predicated on three main tenets: 1) guerrilla forces are capable of defeating the army; 2) all the conditions for making a revolution do not have to be in place to begin a revolution, because the rebellion itself can bring them about; and 3) the countryside of underdeveloped Latin America is suited for armed combat.
In a sense the entire world is under Nazi Occupation. The difference is in the United States we have the obligation and right of resistance. We must use our foreheads. What strategy is best for reclaiming freedom? What tactics are best. Why is no one in this putative Medical Freedom Movement putting energy into grass roots organizing around the issue? Falun Dafa style silent protest is a real strategy and a non violent tactic. I know a Zen Buddhist bookstore owner who took his protest sign and sat quietly protesting the Gulf War by SF City Hall.
Why during Vietnam mass protests arose and why today mostly silence?
The triumph of the injections indicates the abyss of fear, pathological fear of death among the living. The mask hiding proved we do not mind dehumanization. In Berdyaev the face of man is the summit of the cosmic process, the greatest of its offspring, but it cannot be the offspring of cosmic forces only; it presupposes the action of a spiritual force, which raises it above the sphere of the forces of nature. The face of man is the most amazing thing in the life of the world; another world shines through it. It is the entrance of personality into the world process, with its uniqueness, its singleness, its unrepeatability.

Rabbi Green said that his grandmother survived the pogroms and Bolshevism and Stalinism and she told her grandson that the government is never allowed to dictate to you what is essential and what is not. The governor of his state told the clergy that worship was not essential and the Rabbi decided right then and there, they were not shutting the doors of their shul.
Yes, to the power of the face.
I must go and face up to a few things.
