Immigration, Betrayal, Madness, and Chaos

 

 Madness

 Despair

Edvard Munch, I feel the madness and despair you paint because Zombie invaders keep invading and UK politicians keep betraying. The BIG BETRAYAL from traitor Pedro Sanchez. He plays the blame game by blaming Russia and Israel for the Zombie invasion. The issue isn’t who is to blame for causing the invasion but who is to blame for not defending the nation from the Zombie invasion. Yeah, the evil Russkies and Shylocks are to blame for sending the Zombies into Spain but it’s your job, Pedro, to defend the homeland when it’s under attack by Troglodyte Zombies from the various wastelands of the world, not making excuses for doing nothing. Traitor! Traitor! I say!

You say Spain’s criticisms of bloodthirsty Russians invading Ukraine and  genocidal Israelis exterminating Palestinians are courageous. But your failure to protect the people of Ceuta and Spain was not courageous but cowardly because you wanted to be seen as a shining light of liberalism and Spain to be a humanitarian superpower. And like Angela Merkel, you didn’t ask the Spanish people if that was what they wanted. Instead, you sought personal glory on the global stage as the great humanitarian no matter what the cost to your people. Shameful! I say.

And it certainly wasn’t courageous of you, Pedro, to hide from harm in a palace surrounded by guards, while Spanish women and children must hide from roving bands of Zombies.  It’s the people on the streets who are threatened by the Moroccan Zombies. Pedro, your obligation is to the Spanish people—not to Ukrainians, who at least fight the invaders of their homeland, and not to the Palestinians mothers and children who are murdered by Yahweh’s assassins, and not to the rampaging invading Moroccan Zombies. Courage would be to have the cops and army beat back with clubs if necessary the invading hordes, even more so, Pedro, for you to walk disguised among the Zombies yourself.

And it’s no better in the U.K., the country that once belong to me and my people but has been surrendered to the invading Zombies by our traitorous lying politicians. They've got no balls surrounded by armed bodyguards while our lassies are afraid to be kidnapped by Zombie rape gangs if they go out after dark. The lefty politicians say that the U.K. has a responsibility to provide a asylum to people’s whose claims for asylum are genuine. They welcome them like immigrant tourists. They put them up in tourist hotels with recreation rooms and buffets that Harry and Meghan would envy, and all they do is complain that the food isn’t Muslim Kosher. They look at an English breakfast with horror, though they show up on our shores starving!

All they do is eat, sleep, take a free rides to town where they spend their allowance, when we can’t even afford to buy a toy for my little brother. I say FUCK THAT! The rest of the time they pray—all day long—and read the Koran. Did they ever consider spending that time getting vocational training so they can do something useful. Or consider what’s the point of praying to Allah if he didn’t want anything to do with them back in the homeland? So they invade atheist nations that are intellectually and technologically progressive rather than regressive. It’s like they're migrants from the Stone Age. I say FUCK the asylum seekers. There are no genuine claims for invading my homeland! They fucked up their own homelands then invade the homelands of civilized nations transforming them into uncivilized nations.

Mum said, “The immigrants are weeds, harmful or not they don’t belong in our English garden.” Pa said, “They want nothing to do with our culture because they have a culture of their own. They come here for the jobs and social benefits and civilization lacking in their homelands. They want nothing to do with us and the feeling is mutual.” Grandad whose was a church deacon and was a big reader, said, “The religion of the migrants is based on the Old Testament rejected by Jesus. Their religious hero was a warlord with an army that killed thousands of pagans and Jews. They attacked a Jewish tribe called Banu Qurayza. Once they tribe was captured Muhammad and his men beheaded about 700 boys and men.

“Jesus killed no one but was killed by the men of the Old Book, the same book that inspired Muhammad but was rejected by Jesus. Jesus was a healer who served not God but the hungry, sick, oppressed, and outcast. Muhammad was a killer. The difference between our people and their people can be seen in the difference between the Gospels and the Koran. The Gospels are the teachings of Jesus that say we should care about about our own people. He told his disciples ‘Go not into any way of the Gentiles, and enter not into any city of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.’ In other words, let each culture take care of its own.

“Jesus was a man of peace concerned with saving his own people. Muhammad was a warrior conqueror, and his people here will conquer us, not by violence but replacement. And how can we expect them to respect our girls when it is said their spiritual leader’s youngest wife was betrothed to him at age six or seven and the marriage was consummated when she was nine years old. And he had a dozen wives. Jesus protected women rather than shagging them. I say that’s fine. Each to their own, but our culture and theirs are incompatible. As your mother says, they are weeds in our English garden, and they feel the same.

“They consider their land holy not to be invaded by aliens they call infidels. Osama bin Laden said that the U.S. military presence in Saudi Arabia after the 1991 Gulf War as his core religious and political justification for the September 11 attacks. We consider our land holy too. The migrants come into our land not to adopt our ways but to set up enclaves of their own culture, causing the balkanization of the United Kingdom. And it’s already happening. Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, and many villages want to break away from the U.K. and for the same reason we broke away from the European Union: because the immigration juggernaut that will destroy our culture."

The U.K. isn’t a fucking lifeboat to save the hordes of humanity living in political and economic crime-ridden Sodoms and Gomorrahs of an overpopulated Earth. Parents don’t want the U.K. life boat sunk or taken over by Zombie pirates. They want a future for their children in their traditional homeland, not in a fucking zoo with all that cages open. Every nation is a cage with its own people. Now the cages are opened and the animals from one cage are invading other cages. It’s fucking madness!

The bleeding-heart lefty politicians will sacrifice their nations to save the escapees from the hell-hole nations of the world run by their own corrupt—EVIL!—politicians. That’s what Jesus wanted to do—save the world! But he didn’t save the world. He only got himself murdered and the world got worse. Oh yeah, he was supposed to be resurrected, but he wasn’t. And when traitorous politicians sacrifice their nation and culture to save humanity’s legions of runaway male Zombies, the nation and its culture will not be resurrected. They will die and be forever gone.

Like the Russian leftists who were going to save Russia with Karl Marx’s Communism. What they got was a totalitarian dystopian society like that in the book George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, which I read on my own rather than Pride and Prejudice read in school. Another book that shows what happens when an alien is unleased into society is Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Oh yeah, the creature was nice enough to begin with but turned into a monster when he wasn’t embraced with open arms by the people who feared him because he was totally alien to them. But the invading Zombies created grooming gangs that use British girls as sex toys even after they were welcomed with open arms. I say FUCK IT!

And now uncontrolled immigration has contributed to the breakdown of U.K. society. It madness and chaos everywhere. Even the Brits are going mad. And I say if the government doesn’t care about what happens to my country, then why should I care about any fucking thing? I will just hate the government and say FUCK THE GOVERNMENT! And if the police are going to defend the invading Zombies and arrest the protesters, then I say FUCK THE POLICE! "Chaos is come again," says Othello when he believes he has been betrayed. He wasn’t, but the British people and Spanish people have been.

The government thinks me and my mates are stupid. We’re not. We see that our government is like lying Iago who creates chaos by betraying the man who trusted him. And what have the lefty politicians accomplished with their open-door all-Zombies-welcome immigration policy? The resurrection of HITLERISM! Oh no! Oh yes! That is what the traitorous Angela Merkel accomplished when she invited a million Zombies into Germany against the will of her people. She pushed Germany back to the 1930s. And who is the hero of the new German Reich? Putin, who served as a Russian gaoler for the Soviet prison state of East Germany. Go figure! That’s the craziness you get when you betray the people.

If my government betrays me and my people including my family who are just getting by, then I will betray the government because it’s really not my government or the government of my people but the government of the Zombie people who are invading my country, the country of my people. And while my parents work hard just to get by paying the rent and putting food on the table, the Zombie invaders are given the life of Rily, an easy, comfortable, and carefree life just for showing up! I say FUCK THAT! It’s a betrayal! And when betrayed, I say FUCK IT! Why should I believe in the government or its authorities and its laws? I’ve become like the nihilist Bazarov in Turgenev’s story Fathers and Sons who says he admits no authorities and negation is the most useful thing of all. That’s because negation is all that is left. Fucking madness!

The government wants Britain to be a humanitarian superpower by opening the borders to our homeland to armies of Zombie invaders. Now we are drowning in madness. Strangers everywhere and our people including me and my mates have gone fucking mad. The country has become Arkham Asylum and Andy Burnham is the Joker just as Pedro Sanchez is the Joker of Spain.

The government rewards lawbreakers if they came from elsewhere, but will punish its own people if they break the law. That’s a hypocritical betrayal. I hate the government that cares more about the people who invade my country than it cares about my mom and pop and sisters and brother, and my  neighbors and mates. That betrayal is like putting out a fire with petrol. And the flames are the flames of hatred, disgust, and despair.

 

 

So Iran's nukes program is bad, but North Korea's nukes program is good?

INTERNET ALERT 

"President Donald Trump has said the US will substantially reduce joint military exercises with South Korea, citing his ♥very good relationship♥ with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un. Yet, Trump is very angry

that South Korea had recently declined to join the US in Trump's "eternal military de-nuclearization war" against Iran. Maybe that is because South Korea (Japan, et al.) is more worried about the North Korea, which is "estimated to have assembled 50 nuclear warheads, as of January 2024, and to have the nuclear material for an estimated 70-90 nuclear weapons, as well as advanced chemical and biological weapons programs. In the past several years Pyongyang has accelerated the pace of ballistic missile testing. North Korea has the capability to deliver nuclear weapons on a variety of land-based missile systems, including intercontinental ballistic missiles with ranges capable of targeting the continental United States." In addition, North Korea has also "carried out six underground tests at Punggye-ri from 2006 to 2017." Whereas "Iran has carried out zero confirmed underground nuclear test explosions."

So how is Iran the big nuclear threat? And to whom? Israel? Don't think so! This is why: Israel is estimated to have "90 nuclear warheads, with enough fissile material stockpiled for up to 200." If Iran nukes Israel—once it get a nuke, which it doesn't yet have—it would mean Iran becomes a wasteland. In any case, Iran IS NOT a threat to the United States, whereas North Korea is—right now! 

Immigration and the Betrayal of the U.K.

Betrayal from Without

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tX7W93xvCo

Thousands of immigrants launch from the French coast on their way to Great Britain. French authorities are being paid billions of pounds to prevent the immigrant invasion from France to Great Britain, but the French gendarmes do nothing. All they have to do is poke holes in the rubber boats to make them useless. The cruel irony here is that during the two World Wars United Kingdom didn’t hesitate to rescue the French from the Germans. August 1–4, 1914: Germany declares war on Russia and France, and invades neutral Belgium, prompting Great Britain to declare war on Germany. World War II, Germany invades Poland. Two days later, United Kingdom declares war on Germany. The United Kingdom has supported Ukraine during the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, including both Conservative and Labour governments. The United Kingdom has proven itself to be a friend indeed when needed. Yet, France is too spineless to stop immigrants from invading an already beleaguered United Kingdom. Shame on France for being un faux ami.

Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité

Betrayal

Now Betrayal from Within

When the invaders came during World War II, these were the words of Winston Churchill: 

We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender. 

When the invaders invade today these are the words of Prime Minister is Andy Biden Burnham: 

We will welcome the invaders into every British city, town, and village. We shall not fight the invader but love him. We shall welcome him into the homes, schools, and hospitals of the British people. He shall not have to work because we shall feed and clothe him and give him shelter. These  British Isles welcome the endless wretched masses from all the fallen nations across the globe. Our people rich and poor will sacrifice to ensure the invaders are comfortably housed in our homes and communities. The invaders shall make Britain Great Again by remaking the culture into a multicultural utopia. So take down the the Union Jack and raise the white flag of love and peace. Welcome all to our shores!

The Burnham Motto

I say to you, do not resist a criminal invader

but whoever slaps you on your right cheek

turn the other cheek to him

then Rest In Peace

Great Britain

Trump's Funeral

Agnes and Henrietta encounter one another at the very intersection where Trump’s funeral procession is expected to pass by.

Henrietta: “Agnes, what are you doing here? It’s blazing hot!”

Agnes: “Henrietta, I could ask you the same question. Didn’t you just visit the dermatologist? You are too fair skinned to be out in the sun. And as you said, it is miserably hot. Most likely we’ll both suffer heatstroke.”

Henrietta: “Couldn’t miss Orange Man’s funeral procession. Harold looked so forward to seeing it himself.”

Agnes: “Are you sad that Orange Man is gone?”

Henrietta: “I’m sad that he didn’t die sooner so Harold could have seen the procession.”

Agnes: “I’m sorry about Harold. He was a good man.”

Henrietta: “He was a good man, much better than Orange Man. Do you think his hearse will be MacDonaldsmobile like the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile?”

Agnes: “More likely a gold-plated Cadillac, a gift from Qatar.”

Henrietta: “I think he should have been stuffed and put on a golf cart.”

 Agnes: “I don’t think so. He couldn’t sit up. He was just a walking talking blob of a man.”

Henrietta: “Ha, ha, ha. We’re making fun of Orange Man.”

Agnes: “Mr. Misery deserves it. He said he wanted to make America great again, and he made it worse.”

Henrietta: “That’s pretty much what Harold believed. That’s why he so much wanted to see Trump’s funeral procession. He hated the man. Thought he wrecked the country, though he believed America was already in decline before Trump drove the final nail in America’s coffin, as he put it.”

 Agnes: “Why’s that?”

Henrietta: “If the country wasn’t already a mess, then Trump wouldn’t have been elected.”

Agnes: “I’m sorry Harold felt that way. It’s a sad way to die thinking your country is… I don’t know.”

Henrietta: “Done for, finished, over with. What he hated most about Trump was that because of him he could no longer take pride in his country. That hurt him terribly. But your George thinks the same thing.”

Agnes: “Yeah.”

Henrietta: “But they were right. You and I are old enough to remember when America was great. It wasn’t great in the Trumpian sense. His idea of greatness is obscene. He was incapable of understanding that greatness had to do with the people, not with things, money, or a big military. His idea of greatness was the same as those black rappers with golden teeth and covered with flashy big gold chains, diamond rings, or watches. But at least those guys earned their money with their music rather than steal it from taxpayers who actually work for a living. He was always rich enough to pay others to do his work.”

Agnes: “Whereas our parents lived just getting by during the Great Depression and World War Two with dignity that was noble. That was America’s greatness, desperate individuals enduring hardship heroically. They simply struggled when the government had abandoned them as it has under Trump. He knew nothing about greatness because he was a small-minded man who never knew hardship and struggle and who really never worked for a living.”

Henrietta: “Trump was all about his legacy by building an ugly arch and garish ballroom and putting a gold veneer on everything in the White House like he was King Midas, which was his dream. But his legacy is already formed forever. And all those sycophants who served him will live in infamy for the rest of their lives like those Nazis who served Hitler. He was not only the worst president ever but was just an awful human being. He is admired by Americans who think MacDonalds and Las Vegas are signs of greatness, but like Trump they’re fake and ruinous to the human body and soul.

“You known Harold was a big fan of museums. Once the city’s metropolitan museum put on a show of Winslow Homer’s paintings. To me the paintings were amazing, but to Harold they were a revelation. What they revealed to him was the America he admired but never fully understood. He said afterwards, ‘Homer understood the greatness of America. It was its people, ordinary people, not the rich, powerful, or famous. Trump never understood what made America great because he never experienced America as a American. He is a totally artificial, like a TV commercial.’ Harold said that the America Homer understood Americans lost. Don’t know when exactly, but I knew it was gone when Trump became president. The America that was lost was organically real, said Harold, not something artificial created by men of great power and wealth but lacking wisdom.”

Agnes: “No doubt about it, Henrietta, America has changed. It’s not the same place I knew growing up. You know my George considers Harold his best friend. They would talk about the old America that they knew. Hot rods, great movies, and rock n roll music. Even the old America was a golden age during hard times. It’s gone. George got real depressed when your Harold died. He felt all that he had left from the old days was gone. Yeah, he had the kids and me, but he really enjoyed talking about the old days with Harold. I mean Harold was ten older than George and a Vietnam veteran.

Henrietta: “Harold hated the war and LBJ for allowing it. But when he was called up he went. And I think he did so only because he had uncles he liked who served in War War Two. Harold did say that he admire the men he fought with. Most believed they had been thrown into stupid war by a stupid president, but once in Vietnam they did their duty the best they could. It was an awful war for everyone including the Vietnamese. He didn’t hate the people. He admired their toughness. He did hate his government. And that stayed with him the rest of his life.”

Agnes: “George once said that when he and Harold lived they were surrounded by heroes. He meant the Great Generation of his parents and aunts and uncles.  Then out of nowhere came those BLM rioters whose hero was a criminal who threatened to shoot a pregnant woman in the stomach. They burned cities and were allowed to. Still, Biden's immigration tsunami that threatened to wash away America probably did the most to get Trump reelected. And then all those strange cults, Antifa and the Wokes, and the MAGA cult, Trump’s thugs who invaded the Capitol January six, which became a symbol to George for what America had become—a nation with a few American heroes but with too many America-hating thugs. How could such villains make America great again? Their idea of greatness was fire, violence, and destruction. That attack was the beginning of Trump making America a global villain in the image of Putin’s Russia, whom he admired. Watching the firefighters in France and Spain, George once said some countries still have heroes. Ours is like Russia where the people serve a twisted man with twisted narcissistic ideas.”

Henrietta: “But that sixteen year old lifeguard who rescued that kid from a really scary ocean showed us that there are a few heroes left in the country. Tears came as I watched that boy struggle against a monster of an ocean to save a kid from drowning. But that hero used to be the norm; now he’s the exception.”

Agnes: “Yes indeed! I suppose you heard about Trump leaving his Air Force One airplane that had journalists, his staff, and a flight crew onboard to be used as a decoy to be taken out by the Iranians while he secretly scampered off to safety. How different he was from that brave young man risking his neck to save the life of a drowning boy. Totally unlike that narcissistic coward Trump.”

Henrietta: “Yes, he certainly was a dishonorable man! That's why that young lifeguard has been so greatly celebrated. Because the likes of him are so rare in a nation awash in corruption, violence, anger, and despair. Trump and the MAGA cult are all about letting people suffer and die or just  killing them outright. No heroes in the White House. Just Sickos, like some Charles Manson cult! Harold said America used to be the world’s hero in the way that young lifeguard is a hero. How I wish Harold could have seen that boy hero so he could believe there’s still hope for America. But he died too soon to say good riddance to the Orange Man and ‘god bless you’ to the young lifeguard. It’s strange that I felt so much love for that young man saving a child’s life. He was a teenage Good Samaritan who outshined the adults.”

Agnes: “And a black guy went in to help. I bet the Orange Man hated to see white, black, and brown trying to save a Hispanic kid’s life. Can’t feel any love for the Orange Man, only disgust.”

 Henrietta: “I hated the man, more a simpleton than a man. I suppose partly because he ruined Harold’s love for the country. Harold once said it would be better to die during the Great Depression or during the war when America was still great not knowing how awful the country would become. The country certainly had its flaws then, but it was still magnificent in so many different ways. America’s rapid decline set in when men like Trump—greedy for money and power and distain for real Americans—took control of the county.  Trump never understood greatness because he never had to struggle. Struggle is what make a person real—rather than fake or simply a nobody—like the pioneers who crossed the country's prairies, deserts, and mountains in covered wagons, leaving a trail of graves that would be washed away by time.”

Agnes: “Trump’s America is certainly no country for old folks like us who remember that Greatest Generation that produced us. My mother grew up on a farm and plowed with a walking plow pulled by a horse. No phone. No washing machine. The family celebrated when they got electricity and the phone and radio that would come with it. For the longest time they went to town in a wagon. They were real Americans living the hard life, like those folks in that movie Grapes of Wrath. Today, the country has become fake like a national dollar store. I mean the suburbs seem fake to me. I’m glad we live in the city that’s full people coming and going. Maybe the city is fake too but it doesn’t seem so. It’s just too full of life and small businesses of all kinds.  Still, American life has become awfully commercialized. It’s all about buying stuff and being entertained. George said Americans have become like the people in the movie about Martians invading and taking control of people’s minds. I mean everyone is connected to their smart phones, TVs, and computers. I have all three, but it does seem strange being plugged in to some kind of electronic device. George said the minds of Americans are being controlled by technologies operated by what he called billionaire Puppet Masters. I asked George if he wanted to come to Trump’s funeral procession. ‘No,’ he said, ‘but I’m glad he’s dead. It’s like finally having a painful rotten tooth removed.’ George and Harold both hated the Orange Man.”

Henrietta: “Does George believe the country will get better without the rotten tooth?”

Agnes: “Don’t think so.”

Henrietta: “Why?”

Agnes: “He said a culture isn’t like misplaced car keys. Once you find your keys you can start you car and get on with your day. But when you lose a culture it doesn’t get lost. It disappears and a new culture has to be built. But if the materials with which to build a new culture are all rotten, then the new culture will be rotten. He believed that’s the situation America faces.”

Henrietta: “Yeah, Harold always said George was really smart and had become very cynical about America’s future. Of course, Harold agreed with him. And I don’t think Americans today really care because not knowing the America Harold and George knew, they don’t know what was lost. And that goes double for idiot Trump who never knew America because he was raised in a bubble of wealth that isolated him from the real America. His vision of America was represented by McDonald’s, a garish big business that sells assembly-line fast food. He doesn’t understand that MacDonald’s food is cheap and filling but not great.”

Agnes: “Well, George would say that Trump couldn’t know what made America great because he really never was an American. Like you said he was raised in a bubble of wealth, which would be like being raise in a Macy’s department story. He was created as an artificial person, a product of wealth and privilege. George said Trump grew up a sissy who became a bully when he got power.”

Henrietta: “Harold said a man wasn’t a true American without having gotten his hands dirty with soil or grease or both. True Americans have known hard work and hardship. Harold once said that black people are truer Americans than the white Americans who hate them because they’ve known hardship their entire history. Trump was no more a real American than a manikin is a real person. Put an expensive suit on a manikin and what you have is a manikin wearing a expensive suit.”

Agnes: “Guess you heard about Dolly Parton dying.”

Henrietta: “Yeah, sad. The old America keeps dying. Soon it will be all gone.”

Agnes: “Replaced by a MAGA monstrosity.”

 Henrietta: “Harold said he was lucky to live when he did in spite of the war?”

Agnes: “All of us were. I suppose our parents were as well in spite of their war."

Henrietta: "Harold said the Germans and the Japs couldn't defeat America. But Americans would."

Agnes: "America’s demise made your Harold sad. It just made George angry. Dolly’s dying reminds me of the song Those Were the Days by that pretty Mary Hopkin.”

Henrietta: “Those were the days, my friends, we thought they’d never end… but they did.

Agnes: The song is heartbreaking now. The old America's gone. And the new MAGA America a monstrosity.”

Henrietta: “Here comes the Trump’s hearse.”

Agnes: “Good god! It really is a gold plated Cadillac that looks like it was designed by Liberace. Oh how I wish our husbands could see this!”

Henrietta: “And the dead Trump sloshing about in his coffin. They couldn’t pour him into his grave because he’s toxic waste.”

Agnes: “There are people applauding, Henrietta.”

Henrietta: “Why I wonder? Is it because he’s finally dead or because they really admired him. Even men like Hitler and Stalin had admirers even after the harm they’ve caused.”

Agnes: “Some members of the MAGA cult are giving their former leader the Nazi salute! Their machismo is so boring.”

Henrietta: “It's all kind of sad.”

Agnes: “Fucked up, George would say, even though he knew I wish he wouldn’t use that word.”

Henrietta: “And burying the Orange Man isn’t going to make things better. He was rotten but so is the country that produced him. It’s like in Russia. A healthy country doesn’t produce a man like Putin. The rot is not just at the top, as Harold would say.”

Agnes: “The change has been harder on our husbands than on us.”

Henrietta: “True. Why is that, do you think?”

Agnes: “We stay focus on the family, on our husbands, our kids, our grandkids, and on our neighbors. They keep us focused and happy even when everything outside is rotten.”

Henrietta: “I think that’s it. The crowd is breaking up.”

Agnes: “Another Trump spectacle over with.”

Henrietta: “Maybe now the media will shut up about him and talk about something else. Something less nauseating.”

Agnes: “Like the fires?”

Henrietta: “Yeah. The fires are sad, but at least they are being fought by heroes. We’ve been without heroes for a long time. Those ICE thugs terrorizing communities aren't heroes.”

Agnes: “Certainly no heroes in the White House or anywhere else in D.C.”

Henrietta: “Come on, Agnes. Let’s have tea at my place. I made a delicious lemon cake, if I may say so myself. What's George up to?" 

Agnes: “Most likely at Harry’s Place drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. You know George never wanted to use a computer and never watches news on TV. Fake news, he called it?”

Henrietta: “Harold didn't watch TV except for the old movies that would come on. We'd watch those together. It just remined him of how much everything has changed. He and George got left behind. So did we.”

Agnes: “That’s why he misses Harold. He and your Harold love to talk about the old days. America changed, but they didn’t. Kind of sad really." ”

Henrietta: “My Harold died a sad man. But he had much to love while he was alive, me and the kids, even you and George.”

Agnes: “That’s why he was sad. He believed kids deserved a better America.”

Henrietta: Come on, Agnes. Let’s have a cup of tea and try to cheer up.”

Agnes: “Okay.”

NATO Response to Fires in the EU now Needed

  Living in France I am witnessing the incredible destruction and power of what might be called the first assault of widespread fires caused by Global Warming. The destruction is impressive, but more impressive is the fact that the brave firefighters and their technology (trucks, tactors, planes, etc.) have been outmatched by the ferocity of Global Warming's Godzilla fires. Thus, it seems that a new response to firefighting is needed in the European Union in the age of global warming. The firefighting program would be organized something like NATO, with a large stockpile of firefighting technologies kept in preparation for an outbreak of fires such as is presently occurring. Also, needed would be something like the Article 5 NATO agreement that would trigger a collective firefighting response: If one member country is threatened by a severe conflagration, then all nations would come to its defense. The goal would be twofold. First would be the creation of a multinational firefighting organization. Second would be to have organized firefighting manpower and technology available for a multinational response. In other words, when a collective of experts declare a Global Warming Fire Emergency there would be multinational mobilization response. Putting out fires as quickly as possible would be a priority. And of course, this would mean that countries not yet affected by fires would join in to fight fires in other countries.

In other words, in the age of Global Warming a new strategy is necessary to fight what is now a permanent yearly threat of catastrophic fires.

The Girl and the Philosopher and the American Spirit

 The Girl and the Philosopher reveals the tripart substance of the American spirit. What the reader discovers is that the spirit of America is not an abstraction, not a myth, not an ideology, not an idea. It is a concrete composite of place, history, and people. First are America’s spiritual soils—its mountains, deserts, Great Plains, oceans and beaches—each possessing a unique spirit of its own. Second, is its tragic yet heroic history that has contributed greatly to what the American spirit has become. Third, the American spirit is embodied in American lives defined by time, place, and circumstance. It does not transcend individuals but is made from the substance of their lives. Christine’s journey of self-discovery reveals the American spirit in the stories of the people who become part of her own story. These stories of struggle, success, failure, and tragedy of ordinary Americans contribute to the substance of the American spirit. Christine’s journey is an introduction to that the mysterious substance that is the American spirit, which is everywhere manifested yet hidden in plain sight. 

I am an American expatriate who has lived for 12 years with my wife Brigitte on the side of a mountain in French Alps. I’ve worked on farms (Texas and Missouri) and for a couple years at Baker Oil Tools on Slauson Avenue in Los Angeles. I began studying philosophy at Long Beach City College where I earned an Associate of Arts in philosophy. I continued my study of philosophy at California State University, Long Beach where I earned a BA in philosophy. Tired of the city life and thinking I should know more about human behavior I moved to Portales, New Mexico, to study psychology at Eastern New Mexico University, where I earned an MA in psychology. The next step would be literature—poetry, drama, short stories, and novels. Still having no desire to return to a big city I moved to Canyon, Texas, to study literature, receiving a MA in English. Then it was time to return to philosophy, this time at the University of New Mexico. I earned an MA in philosophy. Considering pursuing a doctorate in philosophy, my advisor gave me a flyer that said 8,000 individuals with PhDs in philosophy do not work in the field of philosophy. Worst yet, most doctoral students never finish their dissertation. That means getting a job as a waiter since the demand for philosophers in the U.S. is miniscule. Philosopher is not taught in most American high schools, whereas in France it is a requirement. But he noticed that my minor was in English and literature. Thus, he advised that if teaching was my goal I should stick with English and literature. They are taught in all American schools. So, I ended up Greeley, Colorado, a small town surrounded by farms and fields, where I earned a doctorate in English. That was the end of my academic wanderings. It was a terrific journey.

My Indifference to Downed U.S. Pilots in Iran

My indifference surprised me

for I wish the pilots no harm

and have no sympathy for the murderous Iranians

whose drones destroyed Ukraine.

They created the bad karma that now afflicts them.

So why the indifference?

It was bound to come.

The Vietnam War killed 3.8 million Vietnamese

even though Vietnam was never a threat to the U.S.

Then came the My Lai Massacre

committed by angry soldiers

who blamed the Vietnamese

when the evil U.S. government was to blame.

It sent them to kill Vietnamese

who had never harmed Americans.

Then came the chemical weapon Agent Orange

sprayed on villages and fields poisoning everything.

And napalm dropped on children.

So evil ICE should not have been a revelation

that the moral rot was not just at the top.

It was within those who served the rot at the top.

Here is the lesson learned:

U.S. soldiers will follow evil orders.

Those down pilots would bomb Greenland if order to.

They would bomb Canada if ordered to.

They would bomb Minneapolis, Minnesota, if order to

by their deranged commander-in-chief.

They may be brave, but they are morally hollow men

who serve the morally hollow Mad King Donald Trump.

And after a Navy Blue Angel Jets sickeningly

frightened Florida beachgoers, mothers and their children,

following orders from MAGA AMERICA'S

Secretary of the Department of Death and Destruction, Pete Hegseth,

I must add contempt and disgust to my indifference.

Would U.S. pilots spray Agent Orange

over beachgoers if order to?

Where oh where

have all the good men gone?

Gone to graveyards

every one.
