Garner Isn't

Political Seismic Earthquake. America’s financial preeminence is coming to a close. The Russian Federation will defeat the Ukrainian army, with President Zellenski exiled to Poland. Russia will return dominating Ukraine’s internal political structure. More importantly, the European Union is going to enter into partnerships of trade, financial, military, and cultural exchange with the Russian Federation, ending America’s reliance as the reserve currency in the World. Nato’s alliance will be dissolved with America’s military capitulating and returning home. America will be considered a failed economy.

I’m a natural man, not a Democrat, nor a Republican, a Socialist, a Communist, or even an Anarchist. I know this: When something in nature is removed, it’s replaced with something else. Our politicians will tell you everything is all right. In fact, they’ll say things couldn’t be better. But spending 18 hrs. a day looking at an electronic screen is producing unhealthy behaviour. We’re being manipulated into believing consumerism and profits are the path to contentment. It’s creating distortions and a future collapse.

I make predictions by what is happening today. America’s economic influence and prestige since World War II is coming to a close. We’re financing two wars with a potential third on the horizon from a government that is over 34 trillion dollars in debt. If Iran now has nuclear weapons the Middle East could result in a nuclear war. Especially if the Persian Gulf is running out of oil. Europe will strengthen its ties with the Russian Federation ending our influence there, forcing America to capitulate, bringing our military home.

\There won't be any escaping from our future. Corruption in all of its various forms will result in unimaginable pain for Americans. In the near future, we may see rank and file in our military unwilling to follow orders or worse sabotage resources like ships and aircraft. It will reach into our lowest ranks all the way up the chain of command. Suicide rates are rising in our military and those rates will change to sabotage and outright rebellion. This country is no longer safe. We may never have been safe building nuclear weapons.

Future Nuclear Wars. We said we could build nuclear weapons to keep the peace. But we never understood that the human condition of envy, greed and violence would win out. In the future, when Iran and Israel use nuclear weapons the World will blame America for its failed Policy of Deterrence to keep the peace. The unimaginable will have become a reality. And so, America will be viewed as a pariah country, despised and ridiculed for having brought death and destruction. There will be a heavy price to pay for that with retribution leveled against America. It was so easy for us to have been so wrong.

It’s true: American’s distrust our government and our government distrusts Americans. Our representatives aren’t really interested in serving the people. No, they’re motivated to preserve the well being of the government and not the public. That’s why governmental agencies listen in to millions of American telephone conversations and randomly document the faces of people with surveillance cameras. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are illusions designed to prevent you from seeing inflation is embedded not transitory. We have a war economy not a bread & butter economy.

Let’s put our emotions aside and look at our present condition. We’re supplying two wars financially and militarily: The Ukraine / Russian Federation war and the Middle East with Israel/ Hamas, Hizbollah war. Plus, our Navy is being attacked in the Red Sea by Houthis in Yemen, also our military stationed in Syria and Iraq are attacked daily by Shia backed Iranian National Forces. Then there’s the potential threat with the People’s Republic of China against Taiwan’s sovereignty. If you haven’t noticed lately our government is in historic 34 trillion dollar debt. We aren’t on the road to prosperity.

America’s Cash Register. There’s a rising tide against America’s support of Israel leveling the Gaza Strip. If the Palestinian people hated the Israelis before they slaughtered 1200 of them on Oct. 8th, then the destruction of the Gaza strip won’t just create fear in the hearts of the Palestinians and the Arab World but generations of revenge. It’s hard to believe Americans will remain free from retribution for our involvement. There are a lot of people in this world who would like to bring this country down. The winds of war are coming and it might be able to knock this country over with a feather.

Untrustworthy Government. Can the American people trust what their government tells them? Or what’s worse, do news organizations fail their professional obligations by aligning with politicians? There are powerful people who are continually reelected to office for 30 or 40 years and are masters at manipulating the truth. These are very clever people and they hire staffers like writers, lawyers, or consultants with degrees from Harvard, or Yale, knowing how to make what is bad look good. They’re masters of spin. If something is wrong they conceal the truth. They never admit to mistakes and threaten our very security.

Plenty to Worry About. We recently ended our twenty year war with Afghanistan leaving behind billions of dollars of weapons. Now we’re actively involved with two wars: The Middle East war and the European war with Ukraine and the Russian Federation. Including bombing the country of Yemen protecting ships transiting in the Red Sea. The truth is we can’t run a war economy and a bread and butter economy without inflation. This government is in debt to 34 trillion dollars. We’re about to experience rapid inflation and threats to our homeland. We should worry about shortages of crude oil not climate change.

I’m a natural man, so my preference is for small town values. But that doesn’t mean rural America is free from corruption. It’s just at a smaller scale. It’s a human trait and not confined to one political party. Politicians reelected to office for 30 or 40 years are corrupted by power. I want peace in the Middle East and I propose this: For every 1 million dollar missile the Raytheon Corp. makes to destroy a building in the Gaza Strip, Raytheon should pay a 10% compensation fee or $100,000 to rebuild that building and to build that building in a new country for the Palestinian people in the Sinai Peninsula.

Unless things change rapidly, the 2024 Presidential election is shaping up as a replay of the 2020 contest. Of course, time marches on. As President, Joe likes to claim he’s brought prosperity to America. He says he’s building the bottom up and the middle out by taxing the rich. Putting that aside, two hot wars are raging, there’s a record number of immigrants entering the southern border and inflation persists. Meanwhile, Donald is facing maybe a dozen legal court battles that have increased his popularity. The more he’s indicted the higher his popularity goes. Prediction: a long hot summer. MUSIC Groucho Marx, Gracie Fields, Ennio Morricone, Staple Sisters

The acorn never falls far from the tree, including politicians ambitions. I’m not an advocate, a benefactor, or a propagandist for a Republican or Democrat. Pealing away the various layers of the political onion reveals a corrupt center. It’s said, the sins of the father shouldn’t be visited on the child. Conversely, maybe the sins of the child shouldn’t reflect on the father. Hunter Biden at 26 was appointed as an executive to the MBNA bank, the largest private employer in the state of Delaware, while his father received a $200,000 campaign contribution from the MBNA bank.

You don’t think the people in control are going to tell you the truth, do you? If oil is running out, failing to supply 19 million barrels a day to run our economy would create a financial crisis. Nobody at the top is going to tell you there isn’t enough oil. Instead, they’re hurrying to switch to electric vehicles because of a climate crisis. The climate is changing, but electric vehicles won’t stop it. If oil is in short supply expect a panic and economic catastrophe. Buying an 80 thousand dollar EV won’t stop the climate from changing but the depletion of oil will cause a collapse.

If Palestinians were given 9,000 sq. miles of land where would it be? Well it wouldn't be the 9,000 sq. miles the Israelis claim is theirs. The truth is Ottoman Sultans claimed control of a good part of the Middle East for 500 years until 1918 including what is now Israel, and the Sultans aren't getting it back either. 9,000 sq. miles should be bought from Egypt in the Sinai. It would create new wealth for Egypt. The World, America and Israel would have to build new housing, new schools, new hospitals, new everything for the Palestinian people and perhaps a new peace, a new Marshal Plan.

Nuclear Confrontation. If I’m right and Iran now possesses nuclear weapons, the war in the Middle East is about to get a lot bloodier. Hezbollah with Iranian forces will conduct a war of attrition against Israel’s northern border. And if Israel believes it’s in a war for its survival, it may use its nuclear bombs to protect itself. This is a war to the death. America will not sacrifice American lives especially if another truth is revealed: The Middle East is running out of its reserves of crude oil and will prompt a financial crisis leaving America without a reason to help.

The Israel/Hamas war is looking more like a regional war with muslim countries wanting to drive the Israelis out of the Middle East. In basic terms, it’s a Law of Nature: Survival of the Fittest. Iran’s acquisition of nuclear bombs means it will attempt to end America’s influence in the Middle East. And if oil reserves are running out in that part of the world, no American leader would be willing to sacrifice American military lives to defend a 78 year old policy of control and distribution of oil out of the Middle East. The Israeli people will have to defend themselves.

You’re wrong if you think this country is safe with a nuclear bomb arsenal. Weapons of mass destruction aren’t only conceived and developed in this country and they don’t have to be delivered by intercontinental ballistic missiles. No, a weapon the size of a refrigerator smuggled in this country means we’re vulnerable. We spend billions if not trillions on our defense but we can never be safe. We opened the door to something that can’t be stopped. They can’t be verified when placed by an opponent on American soil. By accident or design they can’t be defended against. MUSIC Danny Elfman, Harry Gregson-Williams, John Williams

We’ve sold weapons around the World making profits and one day that’ll come back on us. We’ve become merchants of death. If you don’t think the smallest nuclear bombs can be smuggled into this country, then you’ve never understood why a handful of fanatics with box cutters attacked this country on 9/11. We live in a violent country. We carry a historic badge of violence. No matter how we rationalize the dropping of nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II, we could have done it differently. We entered the Pantheon of killers for the World to fear us.

Building a nuclear bomb isn’t a deterrence. Instead, it doesn’t create peace. The reason Hamas attacked Israel may have been because Iran now has obtained nuclear weapons. Building weapons of mass destruction don’t promote peace and if you don’t think the size of a refrigerator with a nuclear bomb can’t be smuggled and stored in any city of America, then you’re either naive or just plain stupid. Building nuclear weapons has opened the door to unimagined destruction. The war in the Middle East is going to expand. Someday, someway it will come to this country. It never was a deterrence.

With the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1918, Great Britain, France and Arab leaders created the countries of Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, and the recognition of a Jewish homeland in the Palestinian Region. America’s president, Woodrow Wilson didn’t join the League of Nations but declared a “Right of Self-Determination” in the formation of boundaries for new countries after World War I. The 1948 war founded the state of Israel. No one or no thing can own something forever. Creativity is the way to peace, not the production of weapons.

I don’t instantaneously report the news. I attempt to predict where we’re going. At present we have two wars with America’s indirect involvement, the Middle East war and the European war in Ukraine. We’re supplying weapons and strategic information for the prosecution of those two wars. Americans will never be told when their well being is threatened. We thought selling weapons around the world was protecting us, but it’s not. There are consequences and one day they’ll be at our shores. Our world is a more dangerous place.

The coming months are to reveal the unexpected. We may have used up our future. The American people have been deceived into believing our U.S. Congress or the President are going to resolve the problems facing our country. No politician will vote to remove the Nations 33 trillion dollar debt. It would require closing government offices and reduce the authority they hold. Crimes have been committed against the America people and the Natural World. Even when the heating of the Oceans are understood the system will not or can not correct without an economic collapse.

It’s said we’re a nation of laws, but more accurately, we’re a nation of criminals. Political corruption is as old as the latin language. And in 2008 America had 4.2 % of the World’s population but had 20% of the World’s incarcerated population. If you encountered 100 people, one should have been incarcerated. Logically: One out of the 100 U.S. Senators should have been locked up. But with 33 trillion dollars in debt, the U.S. Congress and the President committed crimes against the American people and the Natural World.

Reordering. Many things result in a political and financial revolution and America isn’t immune from that. Usually it’s preceded by a collapse in the economy. With 33 trillion dollars of debt and political corruption the prospects of an American revolution are real. Every man, woman and child owe $92,000 and that’s a crime against the American people. People sworn to protect our politicians may remove them by force, our military may rebel, and assassinations may be part of a revolution. The depletion of crude oil could trigger the collapse.

Our politicians have legalized gambling on the Internet for sporting events. The reason is clear. It’s to produce needed revenue for a bankrupt government. It’ll cause millions of our youth addicted to compulsive gambling. And why not? We already have millions trapped by addiction from cocaine and heroin with the mentally ill living on the streets of every major city in this country. Don’t let politicians tell you they’re working for your best interests.

No human revolution can compare to Nature’s Revolution. If we destroyed the balance in nature there won’t be any escaping. No sin will have been greater.

Both candidates from the Democratic and the Republican parties in the 2024 Presidential election may be convicted of crimes. But that doesn’t concern me. No politician will ever tell the American people the government is bankrupt, that our military stationed around the world will have to come home, that our Consumerist Economy has permanently damaged the Natural World, that there will be uncontrollable inflation, or that the deceptions will continue. Our rule of law may say there’s one rotten apple in the barrel, but in truth the whole barrel may be overly ripe.

Politicians will never permit the American people to understand the Federal Government is bankrupt and they’ll never allow them to know the Consumerist Economy has permanently affected the Natural World. In the future, for our own protection and that of other living things our Consumerist Economy may have to come to an end. The facts are we can’t live without the Natural world and it may take a long time before the damage we created can be healed. We damaged the one thing that sustains life and the consequences are grave. We think we can live in an Artificial World but we’re wrong.

You can’t imagine inflation when our government puts an end to the Consumerist Economy…… and it may have to after damaging the Natural World. The evidence is overwhelming: Record heat across the globe has sparked wild fires in Greece, Spain, Morroco, Algeria, the United States, Canada and numerous other countries. You’re wrong if you think the profits we make will protect us. We don’t have a future without a balance in the Natural World. Our Consumerist Economy demands we get more. We’ve damaged the one thing that sustains us and we thought AI could.

Digital Age. In this Digital Age it’s difficult determining what’s real and what’s not. Today the machines rule making our connection to the Natural World an unreality, a dream. In our future, when our government declares bankruptcy or even worse when the rest of the World declares our currency is worthless reality will take on a new dimension. Distrusted politicians will say everything is all right when millions of people are addicted to drugs and the mentally ill are living on the streets of every major city in this country. Or that inflation is transitory. But don’t worry cause nothing is real in the Digital Age.

Inflection Point. When President Biden says we’re at an inflection point, it’s not the point in history Biden’s envisioned. Actually, it’s been happening since 2010 when Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa entered into a financial alliance challenging the existing order that’s been in place for 78 years since the end of World War II. But that doesn’t account for what’s been taking place domestically and going away soon: The daily violence, the 32 trillion governmental debt, the Consumerist Economy of greed and avarice. Nobody is going to remove the guns producing a revolutionary inflection.

The Course of Events. Revolutions take place from time to time and America may not be immune from that. Any number of things could cause people to gather together to over throw the corruptive practices of our politicians. This is a historically violent country and to prove it, there's no shortage of guns which no one can remove. Our politicians lack a sense of modesty. They're pompous and arrogant without humility or contrition for having driven the government into 32 trillion dollars of debt. At a minimum they've created distrust and at a maximum may need to be removed from office by force.

True Anger. In America it’s difficult to calculate the real anger in a large number of people. The propagandists use polls to show the approval or disapproval of issues but never the percentage of people willing to commit violence toward the government. It’s not enough to say distrust exists because what took place on January 6th wasn’t just about the outcome of an election. No it was much deeper than that. Politician’s jobs are at risk if armed rebellion starts across this country. Taking control of a broadcast news station could result in marshal law as a reason for our 32 trillion indebted government declaring bankruptcy.

Consuming. Few of us understand what it takes to render an animal for our consumption. This country slaughters billion of animals each year and 30 to 40% end up as waste deposited as garbage in landfills. That’s nearly criminal if not immoral. Killing animals is a big business. We not only have a dead beat government with 32 trillion dollars in debt, we have a wasteful society. In a grotesque move our U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a company for the growing of chicken cells in a laboratory to produce chicken meat. Independence Day is just around the corner so fire up those Bar B Ques.

Two Deaths. Ted Kaczynski recently died in prison. The other death was of someone I knew personally who was murdered. One was a convicted murderer of killing 3 people and injuring 23. The other was found shot dead inside a burning Mini Van. His death a homicide. Kaczynski was a child prodigy who ended a career in mathematics to become a killer calling attention to the real threat technology posed to nature. His methods were wrong but his predictions of the future were right. Murder is nothing new but I’ve never known someone who was murdered. He was Eddie Spann a casualty of Consumerism.

Corrupted Capitalism. Our politicians like to skip along bragging they’re Capitalists plunging our government into 32 trillion dollars of debt. Capitalism is supposed to create wealth but for the last 50 years they’ve only created debt. They say we’re rich cause every child born today owes $92,000. The music keeps going around and around living in the upside down world of corruption, violence, and greed. Don’t worry about it cause nobody can stop us. We’re rich cause we’re in debt and 32 trillion will smell sweet when we skip along with 40 or 50.

Our Future Bankruptcy. When the U.S. Federal Government declares bankruptcy you can count on our politicians saying it never happened. However, it's nearly guaranteed. But when the U.S. Federal Reserve texts every Smart phone saying every citizen was getting Crypto Currency deposited in their bank accounts, the Recession, or maybe the Depression, or maybe the Collapse was averted. The U.S. Government won't exist anymore but the military will be in the White House instituting Marshal Law. That's America's future.

Reparations or Gambling. Our government is bankrupt in lots of different ways and it may take historians years to pass judgements on its moral failures. Reparation isn’t going to happen because our government continues to borrow money it doesn’t have, let alone paying the ancestors of slaves. Instead the government is creating addiction by on-line gambling on professional and amateur sporting events producing a highly corruptive form of taxation. It’ll create slavery. Addiction is slavery: And you thought you were a free people.

CBDC Money. Make no mistake about it, Central Bank Digital Currency is coming. In fact it’s begun in parts of the World already. It’s the result of a sovereign nation’s financial failures. The use of a nations currency, or cash, is about to be replaced by a country’s Central Bank issuing a new form of currency. Politicians or economists refuse to inform their country’s population for fear of a panic, but it’s beginning. America’s Federal Government is bankrupt and eventually the Federal Reserve Bank will issue its own money replacing the U.S. currency.

Biden vs Trump. The coming 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be a memorable event. You have Biden’s son, Hunter, being accused of financially profiting because of his father’s privileged position with fifty years in government. On the other side you have an expresident, businessman, media personality, Donald Trump, being indicted for alleged crimes. You have Biden, an enabler of the Washington swamp and the other promising to drain the swamp. One a machine politician, the other supported by populism. Prepare for a battle royal.

Woodrow Wilson. Wilson became the first southern President since the Civil War in 1912. He promised progressivism, but invaded Mexico, intervened in Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Honduras and militarily occupied Nicaragua during his entire presidency. He opposed women's rights to vote and advocated Jim Crow laws against blacks. In 1919 during his second term, he sufferred a paralyzing stroke and his wife secretly conducted the office of the presidency until 1921. Questioning: Who's running the office in the White House today.

Internal Violence. This country isn’t what it was in 1968. Eliminating the guns won’t stop the violence because we’ve become a dangerous people to ourselves and others. We aren’t safer with a Constitutional Right to own a gun. The making and selling of weapons to hurt as many people as possible doesn’t make us better. Removing all the guns will not work because what’s troubling people won’t disappear. If we’re a free people, a prosperous people, a righteous people we don’t need laws to protect us because that comes from within ourselves. But we’re no longer what we once were and we’re no longer a healthy people.

The IRS. Compliance for paying your tax is done with the IRS. It's well known that a growing percentage of Americans don't pay their taxes and that's why the Inflation Reduction Act includes 80 billion dollars to hire 87,000 new IRS agents. But our government doesn't rely solely on tax collection to fund operations because our U.S. Treasury uses the Modern Monetary Theory to print as much money as it needs to keep things running. With growing distrust more people are paying less, replacing Income Tax with a Consumption Tax, fueling inflation.

515,000 mph. The Milky Way Galaxy which we’re a part of, spins at 515,000 mph…..but we feel like we’re standing still. And recently America didn’t feel a thing when Russia, Saudi Arabia and several OPEC countries dropped the use of the Petro-Dollar as a means of purchasing crude oil world wide. The Petro-Dollar has lasted for 50 years and it nearly disappeared overnight without even being mentioned. The Chinese Yuan has taken its place. You might ask yourself why our President spent his Easter weekend at Camp David and not the White House. Something unexpected is coming.

Uncertain Future. We don’t have a Democracy in this country. We have a Corporatocracy. The business of America is business and money talks in the hallways of Washington’s Capitol Building. That’s how our leaders are elected. But that’s the least of our problems. The U.S. dollar is being challenged by the BRICS Alliance. Within the last few weeks, Russia and Saudi Arabia have dropped the use of the Petro-Dollar. Xi Jinping and Putin have signed an agreement for a “New World Order”. The Chinese Yuan will now be used as payment for oil by OPEC, ending what was the U.S. control of the sale of oil World wide.

Treasury Bonds. China holds nearly 1 trillion dollars in U.S. securities. Most of it was bought during the financial banking crisis that began in 2008. By 2011 they had bought 1.5 trillion dollars to stop the bleeding. That debt paid 2% interest when our total Federal debt was 14.9 trillion dollars. The stock market dropped with the Dow Jones Average in 2007 at 16,000 to 6,400 in 2009, Today our Federal debt is over 31 trillion dollars and the Dow Jones is about 32,000 with the Federal Reserve raising interest rates to fight inflation. So why is Janet Yellen going to China? Does China want to sell 1 trillion dollars in Treasury Bonds?

Magic Shows. Now you see it, now you don't. We're living in a fail-safe society. When banks are closed because of bad investments depositors are made whole, and bank officers go without consquences. Sam Bankman-Fried created a 22 billion crypto currency exchange with thousands of investors and it went bust. He was arrested and posted a 250 million dollar bail bond and remanded to live in his parents home in California. The deceptions continue as if they never happened. It's the biggest magic show in history but our future isn't secure.

23,000 Murders. The truth is America is and has been a violent country and it looks like our future will be as well. Some would accuse me of being too subjective when describing our future and I admit I could be getting the facts all wrong. Recently a successful and influential lawyer was found guilty of murdering his wife and son. He also confessed to being an addict and stole millions from his clients. But that won’t compare to what will happen when our trained soldiers return from fighting in foreign lands. We’ll have serious disillusioned killers here.

Complying. A society paralyzed by its own excesses can only deceive itself for so long before breaking apart. We accuse foreign powers of abusing their populations and that they’re run by authoritarian regimes. But we can’t claim to be a healthy people when we’re distrustful of our own government. It’s a sad weakness if we require lots of law enforcement agencies to keep order. That’s a sign of a discontented people. We think we can only find contentment by using all forms and methods for making people comply. We’ve never accepted that something is wrong with the way we’re living.

Putin’s Ambitions. Americans aren’t comfortable with what’s taking place in our schools, in our streets, and even in our own homes. Maybe the propagandists can keep the public believing everything is all right, but that can only last for so long until an atmosphere of distrust takes hold. A country willing to enter a war with a strong adversary must be healthy and prepared for sacrifice. America can’t commit to a major conflict because of its own internal dysfunction. We’re an impotent giant, corrupted by our own demands for wanting more. The selling off of America’s resources to pay our debts.

Capitulating. Putin may believe he has a good reason Russian troops are in Ukraine. Maybe he thinks nobody plays by the rules anyway. He’s causing destruction and mayhem but that’s nothing new. You see, when he built a multi-billion dollar pipeline to supply oil and gas to Western Europe, to make a profit for the Russian people, he wasn’t thinking about war. The war in Ukraine was something different. But when the Nord-Stream II was blown-up, that was an act of war against Russia. So we may be at war with Russia and also China, a war causing America to capitulate because of our financial and mental unfitness.

Shadow War. Americans haven’t been told why Putin invaded Ukraine. When big oil and gas companies blocked Nord-Stream II supplying Western Europe’s energy, he retaliated by claiming parts of Ukraine belonged historically to Russia. Putin isn’t a communist, he’s a capitalist, a fierce nationalist who wants to better the lives of the Russian people. He played by the rules when he built Nord-Stream but he was challenging the Global Order and that’s why Nord-Stream was blown-up. That was an act of war and you can say America’s at war.

Our Secrets. Distrusting our leaders is common place. People believe our government isn’t telling us the truth. Politicians claim we’re a country ruled by laws and we have the greatest democracy on Earth. People say those two things aren’t true. Some of our laws prevent Americans from seeing how our government operates and when it comes to our democracy, well we have a Corporatocracy that says who gets elected. Money walks and talks in the halls of our Federal Capitol. Our government keeps an unquantified number of secrets.

STEALING. Any professional thief will tell you: If you’re going to steal, steal big. There’s evidence to suggest that the bigger the theft, the less the consequences. A good example is our government’s debt of over 30 trillion dollars. The only people who will be punished for that historic financial fiasco will be the American people and not the 30, 40, or 50 year career politicians that created it. Today when groups of people loot a store, professional thieves say that’s small potatoes. Some retail stores won’t arrest you if you steal less than a couple hundred dollars. And why not? Our Consumerist Economy demands you get more.

Our Pathology. I'll never forgive what was done to this country. Consumerism didn't make us stronger, it destroyed important values. The 30, 40 and 50 year career politicians in our Federal Government went along with those values, running this country into the ground, producing the greatest debt in history. Consumerism was good for business and made big government bigger. Buying more stuff made government revenues go up. But when there were recessions it made people obsolete. It produced avarice, greed and illness in America.

Forgiveness. This country isn’t going to sail along without challenges to its prosperity. What we’ve taken for granted for the last 50 years is coming to a close. The largest historical debt in history can’t continue indefinitely. A default is inevitable. Our times are rapidly coming to an end. We were betrayed by our politicians who demanded more. We sold weapons around the World, making politicians and military generals rich. What we should have been doing was looking and building what was beautiful in this world and I won’t forgive that.

Governmental Excesses. It should come as no surprise that the U.S. government is the largest employer in America. A Federal Congress person takes on added importance allocating money to all those workers losing a sense of humility. Being humble in the halls of our Nation’s capital just doesn’t exist. Then again, things get complicated when the place you work for is over 30 trillion dollars in debt. Let’s not forget the 1.8 m. military on active duty, 833,000 reservists, or the 3.4m. contract workers you pay. So how come 200 lobsters were flown from Maine to feed 300 guests at the White House? Everyday excesses?

False Pride. We like to think of ourselves as belonging to a great civilization. We chant U.S.A., U.S.A. at gatherings, but there’s nothing worse than false pride. If there’s a collapse in the economy, inflation won’t be contained when there’s a shortage of oil. People won’t be peaceful when they can’t fillup their cars at gas stations. Politicians claim EV’s will save the Earth’s climate when in truth it’s an attempt to disguise oil’s in short supply. In the near future, millions of species will be extinct and that’s why I’m not a Republican or Democrat.

Our Stupidity. If you get the feeling you’re confused, don’t worry, you’re meant to be that way. AI wants to make you stupid so you don’t believe in anything. That’s why you’ll see marshal law and our military patrolling the streets of every city when the economic crisis arrives. That’s a real possibility when oil is in short supply and people can’t fill up their cars at gas stations. Our President has been using our Strategic Oil Reserve for good reason. One thing is certain, when oil comes to an end it won’t be voluntary and you won’t just be confused and stupid.

Our Excesses. We won’t escape the excesses the Consumerist Economy has brought. No matter how our government disguises our nation’s debt, how violent our society has become, how questionable our moral norms; our faith in consumerism has led to an illness in this country. We consume 18 million barrels of oil every day and that’s not sustainable. There’s evidence to support it’s becoming more difficult to find and extract. A dramatic drop in oil would create inflation then a collapse and no politician would ever tell us that.

Oil Shortage. A rush to save the Earth’s climate may be nothing more than an attempt to disguise the fact that oil is running out. This country may not be able to sustain consuming 18 million barrels of oil every day and no political leader would tell the American people that. The reasons are clear! A short fall of oil or even worse, the end of oil would produce a catastrophy in the economy. First, a dramatic rise in inflation and then a collapse. That may be what our future looks like because the writing’s on the wall but no leader will tell you that.

Khashoggi’s Murder. Jamal Khashoggi was killed in 2018 for what he knew. And what was that? Well, he escaped to the United States with his life in June of 2017. Four months later in Oct. 2017 King Salman is the first Saudi Monarch to travel to Moscow. One month later in Nov. 2017, a Russian delegation of 6o business executives travel to negotiate partnerships with Saudi Arabia, ending an oil agreement that had lasted since 1945 with America. But that may not be all! Saudi Arabia may be running out of oil. Our climate is always changing and it may be we’re using it as an excuse for what’s about to happen.

Saudi Arabia. In 1945, eight weeks before FDR’s death, our President met aboard a U.S. destroyer in the Suez Canal with the King of Saudi Arabia, Abdul Aziz. That meeting and the agreements reached were to assure America would have whatever energy needs it requested from Saudi Arabia. In exchange, America would guarrantee the security of Saudi Arabia and the development of the Kingdom’s vast oil reserves. That agreement has lasted for over seventy years but may not continue. Saudi Arabia has realigned itself with the Russian Federation receiving security. We should be very careful.

Capitulating. We may have technological superiority when it comes to our military. But are our enlisted men and women willing to fight a protracted war with Russia and China? We can’t contain the violence in our own cities so how can we do it in foreign countries? We’re living in perilous times. We should never have built a system that demanded more. It bred distrust, avarice, and envy. We should have been asking for less thereby understanding what was important. We’ve abdicated thinking for ourselves and now we must capitulate to save ourselves.

Coming War. Millions of Americans believe 2020 election was stolen or at least manipulated. But Trump may have lost to Machine Politics. 30 or 40 year career politicians can’t tolerate populist movements. Biden defeated Trump with big city Machine Politics. Cronyism, patronage, favoritism, nepotism, under the table deals are all part of Machine Politics. This country is at war and not just domestically. We may be in a shooting war with the Russian Federation. Somebody sabotoged the Nord-Stream pipeline and that qualifies as an act of war. We should be careful. Europe’s Nato countries may not come to our aid.

Restructuring. We’ve opened the door to all sorts of addictions thinking it will relieve the pain we’re feeling. Picking what’s behind a door to win an all paid vacation to paradise isn’t working. When you return the problems that have plagued us will still be here. We’re suffering from structural illnesses and it’s easier destroying cause you’ll find enjoyment in that. President Biden has said there’s nothing we can’t do. Well our illnesses reach into the very character of who we are. Somewhere restructuring is what we’ll do. Mental brain washing.

Our Shadow Government. If President Biden is mentally and physically incapable of making decisions, who’s running the Executive branch of the government? Will our generals take control if the U.S. suffers a military defeat? Will assassinations of our leaders be the result of an economic crisis? Will electric vehicles stop global warming? Are fossil fuels running out? Are we destined for extinction like the dinosaurs? The consumerist economy has negatively affected the natural world. The false promise of profits.

Machine Politics. I believe in conspiracies. That’s why Trump lost the 2020 election. He lost to machine politics in this country. Trump may have had the largest vote of any sitting president in history, but it wasn’t enough to defeat a debilitated 40 year politician in the basement of his house who knew how to use machine politics. Machine politics aren’t all bad, it just produces bloated bureaucracies. You’re guaranteed a job if you’re part of the machine. The machine always wins elections. It’s what makes big cities run and the voices of the people are the propagandists that work for the machine.

Martial Law. Nothing remains the same forever and that includes the preeminence of America. If the Republicans take control of both Federal Houses in the November election they’ll remove Biden and Harris from office. Retaliation, retribution, and revenge will be the result of increased inflation, military conflicts with China, abductions, car- jackings, looting and attempts at killing Supreme Court Justices, Representatives, Senators, police, and Federal Agents. Military rule and a second civil war are coming to America.

Our Consequences. With a failing economy politicians and their propagandists will try telling you the recession doesn’t really exist. In fact, they’ll try to convince you we’re living with great prosperity. But why do we have 65 federal agencies to enforce our laws? And that doesn’t include our local and state police. So why do we have so much crime in America? Our Consumerist Economy produces the need to have more. It creates avarice and violence. It destroys contentment resulting with consequences that won’t be pleasant.

The Conspiracies. Do I believe conspiracies exist, absolutely. Donald Trump’s loss was real and it was done by the apparatchiks, the machine politicians that control the cities in this country. They’re bureaucrats and they won’t allow the free will of the people to be heard. Trump lost to patronage, nepotism and payoffs. But don’t worry, the powerful know how to feed information to the American people. Keep all the systems working even if they aren’t. The illusions are what succeed. In that way the American people can still believe in the greatness of their country. Just print however much money the government wants.

Weaponizing Patronage. Avarice and greed can lead to self destruction. It may have become our fate. It’s an illness that has befallen us. It breeds mistrust in what is told us. We still think our values are what the rest of the world will follow. But that isn’t going to work anymore. We may have a powerful military but that can’t defend us from our own failed expectations as a people. Our manifest destiny isn’t with children killing children. Patronage and machine politics can be weaponized to stay in power. Thousands of new IRS workers.

We the Destroyers. Can you trust what you’re being told by politicians? Well you have to understand what motivates them. They’re not being held accountable for the 20 year war in Afghanistan. But don’t worry, profits were made during those 20 years. People got rich producing all those weapons for it. War’s big business and it’s especially not cheap lasting 20 years. Politicians don’t want you to think about that. They can’t accept anything resulting in a negative reality. They spin the truth. They just want you to consume more to keep profits up.

Our Politicians. Don’t let anyone try to convince you we have a democracy in this country. It’s run by something else. If you think politics is a noble business you misunderstand the underbelly of corruption. Those who reach for power aren’t truthful when they say they’re working for the people. To be re-elected for 30 0r 40 years you have to be part of machine politics. Also described as patronage. You make promises to get elected and that includes handing out government jobs for loyalty when you gain office. And that’s power.

Historical Shifts. The true meaning of Biden’s recent trip to the Middle East wasn’t to lower the price of oil in this country. We have our own resources to do that. The true meaning was our loss of dominance in world affairs. We held international power but that’s beginning to change. After 50 years the Petrol-Dollar is coming to an end. The BRICS coalition has their own banking system. They represent 40% of the World’s population and 20% of its GDP. Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are requesting membership in the BRICS coalition.

Getting Less. If you think you’re going to be getting more...that’s not what’s going to happen. The coalition known as BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) constitute 20% of the world’s GDP and 40% of its population. The alignment of the world’s order is coming to an end. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey are all asking to be members of BRICS. They no longer want to use the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Instead, as one trading block use their own currency. They no longer use the IMF or World Bank and seek to change the United Nation’s Security Council. Ending America’s preeminence.

Weapon Production. Why should we worry when we produce top grade fighter jets and aircraft carriers? We’ve got the largest defense budget in the world. Are we a healthy people? One in five people suffer from mental illness in America. We left 80 billion dollars worth of weapons in Afghanistan. That qualifies us as stupid or mentally ill. Ex-generals became rich helping to produce weapons during that 20 year war. Who are we really protecting? What do you want: More weapons or healthier people? A government can be held responsible for a failed economy.

Our Guilt. I don’t like what I’m seeing in the present…And I sure don’t like what I see as our future. You’re sadly mistaken if you believe normalcy is going to return to this country. Of course, if you’re willing to live with 16,000 murders and an unknown number of assaults and robberies each year, you could say we’re normal. The inflation you’ve been seeing isn’t going away soon. You might say it’s entrenched. In the Natural World nothing stays the same. Things are always changing. The new crime bosses of America are politicians holding 40 years in office. They’re machine elected officials with guilt.

Our Life Expectancy. The saying “Fool me once, shame on you… Fool me twice shame on me.”…doesn’t apply today. It’s more like…”Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice and I enjoy what you’re doing to me.” Politicians are masters at deceiving you, making you believe what’s happening to you is good for you. You’ve been made into a tool keeping them in power. You’ve been made into their buffoons. You’re living with societal illness. It’s called 16,000 murders every year and that’s not a problem cause you love your culture of violence. Neither is the drop in life expectancy.

Our Transformation. Politicians can never admit we’re in the wrong direction but we keep seeing and hearing something isn’t right. Progress isn’t our most important product because without respect…. respect for the living, respect for ancient laws, respect for the Natural World….there can never be progress. I’d forgive what has happened in this country if only the corruption of values and violence stopped but that won’t happen. Wanting more is becoming less. Inflation isn’t “Transitory”. Something is coming and it’ll be transformative.

Our Fiascos. I’m a believer in conspiracies. I often think our government is susceptible for being attacked especially when it authorizes the assassination of a foreign leader like Putin. It’s pay back for sending missiles to kill Russian soldiers. You want to kill me, well I’ll kill you first. Not one military leader has been held accountable for our 20 year fiasco in Afghanistan. I’m reminded of Anwar Sadat’s assassination. Like Reagan said, “They don’t have to like us, but they have to respect us.” Our leaders can’t be questioned for the decisions they make cause they always put a spin on them.

Terminal Illness. We aren’t a blissful America, a peaceful America, a content America. We aren’t like a Norman Rockwell painting. In this country that doesn’t exist anymore. We’ve become something other than what Rockwell painted. Personally, if I had the money, I wouldn’t buy a Rockwell painting because it would remind me of what we’ve lost. You see, deceit and greed have become our calling cards. The propagandists and the politicians keep telling us we’ll get back to normalcy but we aren’t safe anymore. They won’t tell you you’re suffering from a terminal illness and the prognosis isn’t good.

Addicted Nation. Is there a real shortage of oil or is it contrived? I’m in agreement when scientists say the planet is getting warmer and the oil industry could be at fault. I’m a big believer in conspiracies. You can’t imagine what real inflation is like if there’s a real shortage of oil and not a conspiracy to raise prices artificially. In this country there’s a continual struggle for power, those who have it and those who don’t. Americans are unwilling to accept we’re no longer a great power. We’re an unhealthy people. You can’t have children killing children.

The Coming Revolution. I don’t like talking about who stole what in the past cause there are a lot of people who would steal in the present. Politicians will say, “This can’t be happening in America!” But this is America and the politicians who have been in power for 4o years helped to drive this country into the ground. Those buffoons dug a hole so deep they can’t lie their way out of it. They aren’t working for you and you aren’t part of free country. We’re a country with European culture and we’ve been telling everyone to be like us. Black culture exists and some white people want to be black and some blacks want to be white. MUSIC Dick Powell, Nathan Johnson, Gustav Holst

The Boss. I don’t dislike politicians, I just don’t like what they do. I have mixed emotions about Richard J. Daley the deceased Boss of Chicago. I can’t say I liked the Chicago river dyed green for St. Patty’s day. But when it came to running a city few could rival him. Daley was a builder and I can’t say that about most politicians today. If something was wrong he knew how to fix it. Daley was old school. He believed it was a sin to commit a crime. However I didn’t appreciate during the 1968 Democratic Convention he gave orders to shoot to kill protesters. It was patronage, but he never worked for himself it was for a city he loved.

Chopped Raw Meat. The propagandists and the politicians keep telling us we’ll get back to “Normalcy”, but chaos may be our future. After the Nov. election Biden may be removed from office, America attacked, civil war breaking out, and the financial collapse of the government. The culture of violence is about to get a lot worse. Selling weapons to Ukraine may lead to a war with Russia, but our manufactures of weapons don’t mind cause they’re making big money doing it. America the beautiful is about to be to be chopped up, diced, and fried like a piece of raw meat. It was our arrogance and greed.

Transitory Inflation. You want to know why a free market in America can’t fail? Because it’s rigged. The people at the top want to stay at the top. Our politicians won’t attempt to correct our government’s 30 trillion dollar debt because they can print as much money as they like. The American people haven’t been told why we have the largest death rate from covid-19 in the world. And the truth about this country’s inflation rate isn’t “Transitory”. We won’t be told what’s coming even if it’s an military attack resulting from our failed foreign policies. We should be careful.

Financing War. If we hadn’t lost billions of dollars of weapons in Afghanistan we could have shipped some of it to fight in Ukraine against the Russians. But don’t worry we can print as much money as we want. It’s no skin off our nose. However, this is how it works. War is big business and it’s not free. In fact, if Zelinsky pushes Russia back to it’s border, the Ukrainian people will have to pay America for all the weapons they use. It turns out war isn’t free it’s also expensive and some people make lots of money doing it. Russia and China may threaten America directly. They believe we’re weak.

Our Derailed Country. The politicians and the propagandists keep telling us we’ll get back to normal. They say covid is endemic and a part of our everyday life. But the world sees something is wrong in America. We’ve got Special Forces for any purpose and that means this country will never know peace. After the government’s bankruptcy and restructuring we’ll be vulnerable to attack. That’s when military rule will take control. Chicago, New york, Los Angeles will have soldiers restoring law and order. We built something that was unhealthy and dangerous.

Oil Wars. Are we safe? Well today we need lots of security systems for our homes. Latch locks on your front door don’t work any more. The days of leaving your door unlocked are long gone. Stealing is nothing new and that includes taking land from other people. Capitalism is no stranger to stealing. Putin’s a capitalist and that’s why he invaded Ukraine. He wanted to sell Russia’s vast oil resource to Western Europe but was prevented from doing that. In retalliation, he’s proving what Russia’s military strength can get in free-markets……. by force.

Our Generals. Am I breaking the law if I call our President a Jackass, or some other name when describing people in our government? Baffoons come to mind. But that’s nothing, cause the people who have power in this country have bankrupted it not just by dollars and cents. We live in a violent country. A monkey peeling a banana by the side of the road deserves more respect than some politicians who claim this country is great. Our ex-generals have become rich selling weapons. Weapons placed in outer space don’t make us great but vulnerable.

Electricity or Oil. Big oil has been running this country for over 100 years, but lots of people think it won’t be the oil men who’ll keep running the show. It’ll be the electric men. Like it or not, oil men have a connection to the Natural World even if they exploited it. To extract something that was formed millions of years in the Earth makes you close to nature, where as electricity has always been here. It’s existed since the beginning of time, before there was an Earth. The electric men aren’t like oil men but are just as dangerous.

Putin’s Reasons. For thirty years Ukraine has been stealing billions of dollars of gas transiting through five Russian pipelines, some meant for Ukraine’s own consumption and others for Eastern European countries. That’s really not why Putin invaded Ukraine. Putin is a capitalist and he believes in the integrity of legal contracts and agreements to further Russia’s development. That’s why a 10 billion dollar gas pipeline from St. Petersburg Russia to Germany took 12 years to complete and why after it was sanctioned he invaded Ukraine.

The Hollowness. We thought all we ever needed was more stuff. But that’s coming to an end.The rest of the world sees what we’ve become and we’re going to be forced to understand we aren’t the greatest country on Earth. A lot of people in this country are unhappy with who they are. They’ve been tricked into believing they sit at the front of the bus, but they’re going to have sit at the back with everyone else. This country is bankrupt and Russia and China aren’t going to bend to our will. They know how vulnerable we are.

Our Decay. If you think your troubles are going to end soon, think again. The propagandists, the politicians, the powerful keep telling you everything is getting back to normal. But they’re lying. You’ve been made into a tool to support their agenda. And when things turn south they’ll blame it on you. All you ever cared about was being entertained but now the jokes on you. You’re addicted to the machines and you’re going to reap the whirlwind. We’re unhealthy, sufferring from decay and it’s punishing. Mass killings aren’t normal and neither is 30 trillion dollars of debt. It’s decay.

El Salvador’s Bitcoin. I didn’t expect Putin to invade the Ukraine. I made a wrong prediction, but then again, if Russia ever toppled the Mexican government, the United States wouldn’t take kindly to that. There could be real trouble when the smoke clears in the West cause it’ll start rising in the East. America’s hegemony is coming to a close. We controlled and toppled Central American governments for over a hundred years so why do our politicians act so sanctimonious when someone else does it.

Unethical Behavior. Winning is everything for a politician and how it’s done may not be ethical. Would our president risk American soldier’s lives to improve his sinking popularity with voters? Well he can act tough with Russia over the Ukrainian crisis but the truth is it’s our oil companies insisting on blocking Nord-Stream-2 gas line to Europe. He can’t win on either score with Russia. Unethical behavior goes beyond politics in America. Is it ethical to inject human DNA in an animal for growing an organ, to harvest it and then transplant it into a human? I would say no. We permit medical research to do that.
