Others are keeping much closer tabs on the events in this country than I have been so it comes as a shock to hear some of the things that are really happening to our nation.  We have all kinds of efforts being put forth to bring the government to a stop when the temporary   funding runs out. For reasons beyond explanation there are people that feel our form of government needs to change. One group is in favor of a dictatorship. One wants a king and yet another would like it to be more or less a free fall with the richest among us making the rules and everyone else having to live with the consequences. 

  Do we want to live under rule by a foreign power such as Russia or any other power? I don’t really believe that we do but there is not a great deal being presented as a solution to stop such a thing from occurring. Were the initial efforts put in place to make this happen between 2016 and 2020? Considering who was in the White House and his actions it would not come as a surprise to find that support to set up a dictatorship were very much put in place, all that was needed was a win in 2020.

  The states run by Republican Governors and Legislators are very much on the order of going feudal in their approach to leadership. They are pushing school vouchers, limiting women’s health care and other rights. Turning back the clock and hoping to rewind the privilege of the upper classes by grinding the poor into the ground. Destroy the schools, libraries, health care and everything that assists the less fortunate so that people have to ask the very rich for help and that means they get to hold people hostage once again, or in bondage, take your pick.

  Go back to a time when everything was owned by very few individuals and your ability to make a living depended on that person granting you a place to pursue that work, whether farming or making pottery or tools, whatever. To know that you were paying tribute to that family with every breath you took because if they did not allow you the space and opportunity you would have to find another overlord that would. All the stuff you have read in books by Dickens or seen in movies made from books of that era is not fantasy. When power is given to a very few and rights are taken from many you end up with situations that are out of nightmares. That is how groups of people disappear and no one seems to know anything about it. That is when you have the elimination of those that cannot fend for themselves or be productive. Don’t believe it, check out the history of almost any place that has ever had a written history.

  We have laws that allow political lying to be a part of our daily fare on the air and in print. It’s politics and they lie, what else is new. Well if you don’t take the time to look for the truth and you are willing to give the liar power by putting him or her in office then that makes you pretty stupid. The trouble with that is the rest of the world sees it and can not figure out why in the name of whatever do we keep voting these idiots into office or funding them. Most of these morons think that if they tell a lie 3 times it magically becomes a truth.

  As I mentioned recently the first job of our uniformed services is diplomat or should be and it should be the first position we take as visitors to other countries and as hosts to those that visit from other countries. Think about how much nicer things would be if we greeted one another with a smile and a kind word rather than a sneer and a bitch because we did not get what we wanted. In other words “Do Unto Others As You Would Have Others Do Unto You”.

  Our political leaders have chosen people that have not made good impressions on our neighbors around the world in all cases. Not surprising as the people chosen to head some of the agencies here at home have been manned by people that want to destroy that organization, such as the Post Office, and the Board of Education. The reasons for these efforts are again an attempt to remove rights or at least limit rights so that a few are again given power over the many. The real dilemma of this is that the person behind these moves has the backing of some that claim that they are willing to go to war to put him back in the White House to crown him King. Prefer to put him in a sewer and call him turd.

  One of the basic truths about todays political picture is that is contains to many old faces. Behind those faces are some rather dried up brains that do not see anything through the lens of tomorrow but rather the haze of yesterday. We need new, fresher thought and ideas from the generations that are going to pay the bills that are being run up by the current crop of hacks. Far to many are still of the mind set that the exploitation of fossil fuel and the waging of war are the best ways to raise your GDP. There has to be a better way.

  There is a song that says God is watching us, and if he is is he amused or horrified by what he sees. Are we being visited by ET’s and is the reason we are not being contacted is because we are too ignorant to greet without wanting to kill, we are to war like, or because ???
