It's difficult to entertain a diifferent perspective than that of a country in
serious trouble. Our hope is that the twig won't snap. The USA is a hair's
breath from the shit hitting the fan. The diversity in this country is probably the
only thing that's keeping it from open civil war. The demographics are separated
by a preference for tradition, cultural preferences and space. It's the viewpoint of
the fundamentalists that this benevolent division is unacceptable for citizenship,
target those who are different from them with the type of
discrimination that is now on the verge of open violence; but as yet risky for the
slim thread of law that still exists in this country, which is governed by coersion,
illegality, unconstitutionality and an obvious push to place the government under
the thumb of one single individual whose trail of misdeeds includes corrupt
business practices, unlawful sexual conduct, and felony convictions.
Don't make any sudden moves.
Peaceful protests are under the gun. The military
has been told by the Commandant-in-Chief to shoot. Former SOD Hesper refused
to give the military the order, but the administrative hunt for a new SOD (Hegseth)
who will, has been successful. The generals who would fail to comply with such an order
have been fired. Our most fervent hope is that there are still Americans of any rank
or position who'll decline to shoot fellow Americans. Read the episode

The omens are clear: the mass
murder of innocent school children and civilians, the attacks and killing of
lawmakers and their families, armed masked thugs apprehending senior citizens,
children, and students with physical force, and without warrants. Anarchy lurks behind
the nuclear night of global warming.
Read the tea
leaves.
Or watch the news.
Due process in this country is practically
extinct. POTUS has issued EOs based on a wartime crisis that does not exist.
And can be seen as tantamount to a declaration of war on Americans.
The rotten bastard who was free to shoot innocent people had a hit list
of top Democrats, two of whom he murdered in cold blood, two who survived.
The chicken-shit gave up peacefully, gutless in the face of his so-called convictions. "You don't kill for
principle, dumb-ass; you die for it!" When taking hormones to grow teats, and rectal searches,
have become the high points of a life of crime, it's time to change the cast of this seriously bad
movie. Naming "low-lifes" (sic) such as this one publicly, ennobles their stupidity. Death-dealers get
pardoned by this administration, so there's always a chance of a successful lawsuit against the police
for not catching him nicely. We don't support "legal execution" here, but "cruel and unusual
punishment" works for us.
And identifying victims in the media to further an ambition is a national disgrace. A sincerely worded
eulogy at the grave site works just fine. A list of potential victims is a crime undone for another
murdering dirt bag to finish.
This world was never safe for anyone, but there were always havens for those of us who chose
not to bear arms or hatred for another. "I needed shelter; and you took me in." Shangri-La
did not exist, but the fantasy itself, or of a place like it, was rarely absent from the anguished,
the afflicted, the scared. Where to now?
Because armies don't crawl on their bellies anymore to get to the lair of the doomed. They fly.
There's no place left on this planet where the heirs to Attila's DNA can't drop a division on top
of you or a bomb or an unmanned drone - or a serial killer.
There's no place to hide, no place to run to.
The borders are closed.
