I continue to try my best...
To view our society in a positive light..
It appears as if
I fight a losing battle attempting to ignore the outside world..
I fear we may have reached
the mathematical point of---
Peak Asshole
here in the United States...
Trump and the Republican Party are wildlycelebrating--their new tax laws...
Fucking us,
that's what they are celebrating.
Trump alone will make an additional 15 million dollars
this coming year because of the "new" Republican tax laws...
but that is just all bait and switch...
Tax breaks for regular humans disappear in a few short years..
The breaks the one per-center's get
never go away---
CEO's can deduct their corporate jets,
but police officers cannot deduct the cost of their uniforms?
That seems fucking fair, doesn't it?
Ask yourself, hopefully before your own shit
drips from your kitchen water faucet,
How do we maintain this country with less coming
in from those who make more--?
and what does come in, from people like us,
going to the Military-Industrial Complex?
The next part of their plan is to make the
rest of us pay off the rise in the Federal Deficit
that this, bonus to the rich, will cost,
by trying to kill Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Republican leader of the House, Paul Ryan is up front about that--
Believe me, I am not good with money,but I see where this is going and at least,
the starving mobs of the future will have someone
specific to blame---
You do have to laugh sometimes...
after pulling the US out of the Paris
Climate Change accord and outlawing even the
use of the word "climate change" by government agencies...
Trump convinced the Irish government to build a seawall
to protect his precious Irish golf course,
from you guessed it...
"rising sea levels"!

I am one of those shortwave geeks who every
so often, later at night in my little command center..
tries to tune in the remaining, operating, government
number stations around the world.
Numbers-station
I will sit, not as often as I'd like,
with my Grundig Satellit 750 radio--
tuned to one of the international numbers station, writing on this blog
while the station puts out a mindless drone-tone, with me hoping
for a short transmission of words, letters, or numbers?
Yeah I know--exciting eh?
BBC news has an excellent on-line article on the
Russian radio station the "Buzzer" which is
really worth reading..presenting a theory that perhaps these stations also
provide a "doomsday" monitoring system for governments...
if you are at all interested in Numbers Stations,
take a moment....
the-ghostly-radio-station-that-no-one-claims-to-run
re-reading actually..
I read this years ago.
for quite a while, thinking, nah, it can't be that good?
Fuck i was wrong--it's awesome...
I am binge watching it like a dog!
Love the visuals!
I thought BRIGHT, a Netflix original movie,
was a really decent SF film.
