Bad Moon Rising

 There are very disturbing events ongoing in the US. Among them the the militarization of large cities by the national guard, and the building up of a heavily armed, masked,  and unaccountable national police force- ICE.  The official excuse for these actions makes no sense: the clumsy persecution and silencing of the President's political opposition, reminiscent of Generalisimo Franco's actions in Spain or Stalin's brutal suppression in Russia ; and deportation of "illegal immigrants" (hispanics) similiar to Hitler's initial purging of Jews from Germany.  But both those are so absurdly ham handed, stupid,  and hugely unpopular that no democratically elected polititian would dare do them. It would normally be polititical suicide and result in removal from office and legal actions. Yet here we are.  At the same time the democratically elected representatices in Congress are dismissed and are apparently indefinitely furloughed by the Speaker of the House...th...

My kind

 During the invasion of Iraq- when torture was declared acceptable, Rendition was disapprearing folk labeled as "terrorists", the Patriot Act was limiting habeas corpus and everyone was potentially a "terrorist", etc and Iraqis were being " liberated" from their lives, I was explaining the Truth to a lady: the immoral horrors of what the US was doing, and how we all had blood on our hands.

Iv since come to understand there have always been two distinct camps, two types of Americans: those who supported Native Genocide, witch burning, Slavery and J...

Lies and Deception

  Living through the blizzard of lies and gaslighting that we have endured for the last decade it is difficult to remember what lies were told before today or yesterdays lies. Our memories get clouded and we forget. That is a deliberate strategy that corrupt polititians use for precisely that reason.  Truth is altogether missing from American politics or government.   My purpose is to make you remember so you can see what is real.  Remember when right wing conspiracists from Alex Jones to Donald Trump and the imfamous "Q" were distracting out front from the Epstein case by creating a fantasy they called Pizzagate?  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizzagate_conspiracy_theory  And now, the people elected to supposedly address this terrible pedophile ring wind up being the actual culprits and have their lackeys covering it all up.    https://edition.cnn.com/2025/10/07/politics/johnson-adelita-grijalva-swearing-in  At the same time Greg A...
