Your weekly chapter excerpt from one of my books. This week: "Who Killed the American Dream: The Greatest Political Crime Ever Told." See Thom's take on how this chapter relates to today below...
Thom, as usual, is spot on. But I have to ask, for the millionth -- if that is a word -- time
"What's the plan?"
The bad guys have a plan to run an organized BS machine, with the means to first develop, then frame, then deliver a consistent, repeatable message. They also have the discipline to keep in tune and stay in line with the play book.
They know who to give the money to and what they get for it.
I have a thousand different orgs/people -- most I never heard of -- asking me to "chip in"... To what, for what, is never made clear. Most begin with "... do you know what (he/they) just did???"
Outrage only goes so far, and we get exhausted.
So, again: "What's the plan?"
And, "Who's in charge of what part of the plan?"
Twenty five years and counting, I am still waiting for an answer...
Rounding up immigrants and sending them out of the country was supposed to create more jobs for the native born. How did that work out, according to Friday's employment report?
Capitalism couldn't continue without victim-blaming, and the victims believing they are at fault.
I've been thinking. Layers, long game, chess, things are never as we think they are.
Racism, sexism, nationalism, all distractions.
Look at how the world is moving today.
George Orwells world of Oceania, Eurasia, East Asia is not fiction, it was prophetic.
Oceania, The Technate of America. aka The Shield of America, Trumplandia, From Greenland through to Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador. including Cuba..all targets of obsessions of Trump.
Are Trumps obsessions, really his? Or are they implanted in his ear, and from there he takes ownership.
Eurasia, from the Atlantic to Russia. NATO is being dissembled thanks to Trump, and Putin, despite the distraction of Ukraine is becoming more aggressive, and making test assaualts on the Baltic States, Poland and Germany.
East Asia, under Xi/ America, thanks to Trumps misconceived or was it.. Whiskey Pete has displayed his sympathies with Putin. Kash Patel is going to Russia to meet with his counterparts.The United States has expended it's defensive and offensive missiles and Whiskey Pete and Trump have exposed the Pentagon as weak, ineffective and feckless, and a paper tiger. only capable of special ops against a weak subject. in other words a bully.
The Mideast and North Africa. Three significant entities fighting for control, of them all one has the the biggest Army in NATO, outside of the US, and one that is well disciplined, and proven fighters (ask those who fought with them in the Korean war).
Saudi Arabia has billions of dollars of weapons, but a shit army that doesn't really want to fight.
There is enough tension between Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Iran to keep the Mideast destabilized, while the global south is exploited for it's resources.
Greenland, bully, Canada bullying, Venezuela bullying, Cuba bullying, Tariffs bullying,Bullying NATO, but it didn't start there. The banana wars, Nicaragua.. the overthrow of Mossadegh,
Isn't that patriarchalism? The strong dominating the weak, if the subject isn't weak, then make them feel weak, convince them that they are weak..

D.L.
On point again Thom...Thanks for your work to bring these matters to light.
Rounding up immigrants and sending them out of the country was supposed to create more jobs for the native born. How did that work out, according to Friday's employment report?
Capitalism couldn't continue without victim-blaming, and the victims believing they are at fault.
I love these reports and share them. The problem is, finances are tight and I can't seem to make the unsubscribe button work.
