The Deeper State

I read an interesting comment on a super creepy weird guy's Twitter I frequent to freak myself out on this Trump/Russia treason. It was to the effect that the Russians, in helping to elect Trump, may have - ironically - brought down that American criminal enterprise known as the Republican Party. The comment harks back to Lindsay Graham's desperate plea, once upon a time, "If we nominate Trump, we will be destroyed.... and we will deserve it."

In my opinion, Lindsay seems drugged to the gills since his 180 conversion to Trump-love, like he can't face the future sober anymore. If what I've read about him is true, and it includes rumours re kompromat involving minors but also Republicans involved in a very treasonous plot to sell American nuclear technology to the Saudi royal mafia, it's no wonder.

Anyway, the comment implies, too, that the Deep State (yes, brocialists, you are right, there really is a Deep State - thank goodness) let the 2016 election play out because the plan was always to get the Republican Party where everybody could see it. And then expose it. This is what makes sense to me, given that the Mueller investigation began almost as soon as the chock-a-block with fraud inauguration was concluded, which means that it was ready to go long before.

But who knows.

In the meantime, my advice is to ignore all those "nyah nyahers" online about Mueller's "just the facts, ma'am" appearance as the gaslighters they are.

Nothing. Save for a scrabbling sound. Like rats. Big rats. Adult human sized rats.

Baby Doomers, I Mean, Boomers

My Facebook feed is chock-a-block with friends, boomers for the most part, who are predicting end times are nigh.

No, not the Christian Apocalypse end times are nigh, Climate Change end times are nigh.

The most recent article making the rounds headlines thusly: "Twelve years to save earth? Make that 18 months..."

"Glad I don't have kids." is a comment I see quite frequently on these postings.

Anyway, I don't read the articles, just like I don't read the articles (anymore) from socialist FB friends about how neo-liberalism is destroying our world even faster than climate change is.

Well yikes, living the good life without working too hard, count me GUILTY of benefiting from neo-liberalism, I guess. Also, instead of making a sacrifice for the planet by not having kids, I had three!

There's just no way around THAT selfishness, I'm afraid. I don't own a car and rarely borrow or rent one, I almost never eat meat now, I don't even take up a job someone else can do just as well to spread the wealth, I rarely travel or shop. But none of those things are sacrifices because they're how I want to live anyway. No, the only real sacrifice I could have made re doing my bit to fight climate change, although I guess not neo-liberalism, is to not have kids. And that pretty much turns on its head everything we've heard since forever, doesn't it.

It's not selfish to not have kids, it's selfish to have them.

Good luck with that message to young women.

Heck, good luck with that message to their old mothers who want grandkids.

Really I think what's happening is that we're reaching peak boomer center-of-the-western-liberal-universe-ism, and instead of growing old and then dying with dignity, boomers are going to flood the internet - which is forever - with the message that, without them in it, there will either be no world or one that's not worth living in.

Of course, with their determination to elect a Conservative Party of Canada government again by not voting Liberal maybe their prediction will come true.

What?

I think I know why Robert Mueller was reluctant to appear before a HEARING.

And Not a Penny Less

I think now that the appeal judge should grant bail to Jeffrey Epstein but set it at $100B.

See who's desperate enough to post it.

Then when he fucks off to Saudi Arabia, use the forfeited $100B to fund a basic annual income.

Also my theory is that Ghislaine cut a deal and ran.

Not Your Crazy Aunt Serenity's Green Party

Angry Uncle Frank-the-Trudeau-Hater's Green Party

So yeah, I'm enjoying Elizabeth May's messaging strategy, getting it out there to potential Green Party voters that their vote could help her prop up a Conservative Party of Canada government led by Andrew "Stephen Harper" Scheer.

Seriously, if he's not already, Justin Trudeau should be footing the bill for her messaging strategy team.

I'm not a REAL messaging strategist, but maybe the next step could be dinner in Moscow with Vladimir Putin. And then after that the launch of a social media campaign alleging a lack of chocolate milk in Canada's Food Guide may cause autism.

The Taunt is the Point

I don't like to get too involved with Donald Trump's distractions while he pretends to be POTUS but his racist taunt at the so-called Squad "If you don't like it, you can leave" struck me as particularly nasty because they can't. And he knows they can't. Because borders.

As everybody knows by now, only rich white kompromat gathering pedophiles can leave because all the countries of the world are apparently open to them.

But when ordinary decent people of limited means leave their country, they can just end up caged in another one, their children taken away from them - forever - and delivered unto who knows what.

Although sadly, I guess we have a good idea what now.
