Follow the money. Follow the drugs. In these cases, the biochemically created drugs. After emergency heart surgery more than three decades ago, ER nurses turned me on to a small book they had published centered around their experiences with patients under high drama/trauma stressors. The drug in question associated with stress and its impacts is nor-epinephrine (NE), the so-called 'fight, freeze, flight' chemistry in the brain. Now any number of dramatic events can trigger this drug. I say drama, because these nurses had discovered that an actual trauma, say an injury or a serious emotional shock, need not be present to induce NE production in the brain and body. This follows from, perhaps, the very first trauma that occurs, as early as fetal or childbirth or infancy events. Once recognized by the brain, dramatic 'shadows' of that trauma can be easily conjured up by events that trigger a memory of the trauma. According to the booklet, this easily becomes a continuous feedback loop, associated with NE. NE is a roller coaster opiate, with a very cyclic pattern in the body, an addiction that demands a constant input of stimuli to 'trigger' NE production. There is a defined 'high' of dopamine satisfaction, a 'win' if you will, that elicits great pleasure. If the 'fight' choice is triggered, and a 'win' ensues, the reward is a re-enforcement of that winning behavior. Cyclically, the NE fades, a depression (need) of sorts sets in, and the now addicted brain actually sets up a doppelganger 'drama' that pushes NE into action, real or imagined. Wash, rinse, repeat. These nurses told me they saw it constantly in patients with chronic heart conditions and other maladies. Now freeze and flight can also be chosen, and the outcomes, if successful, can also trigger a repetition of that same pattern, so if flight is the conditioned response, a person could easily become habituated to demurring, or capitulating or running away from situations. and those outcomes could be undesirable, depending upon circumstances.
As it relates to this megalomania exhibited by stupid bullies in expensive suits, the sordid situation in 'murka that all of us watch, by the hour, has an explanation that reduces the power of money and authority to little more than pathetic drug addiction. Which is why, as we watch and listen to these nitwits, we cannot help but recoil, because all of us are privy to numerous addictions within ourselves or our peer groups. This revelation, years ago, led to me following the advice in this booklet to practice breathing exercises, physical movements, contemplation, meditation, and other behaviors to keep myself from falling prey to this immensely powerful addiction, not always with success, but to at least hear the alarm bells going off, and attempting to get my shit together. Just sayin.'
Actually, they are not identical. I believe adrenaline has a methyl group on its outer surface, whereas nor-epinephrine has a hydrogen in that position. Same family of narcotic, but with different interactions in the brain/body. Both have negative sides to them, as well as positive ones.
Doubtless, Putin does have videotape or film of him with preteen girls from his days with the beauty contests in Moscow. He is ex-KGB. Almost surely KGB has documents that show Trump was helping Russian oligarchs launder ill-gotten gains through Trump Tower and other real estate deals via Deutsche Bank. That was why the DB CEO was dramatically assassinated back in 1989 when it came to his attention, and he was about to blow the whistle. One of his staff was a personal friend who had to disappear right afterwards. Trump's pal Rudy was almost surely helping him cover the stateside operation involving the NY Russian Mob.
Also, Trump's Clowncar cabinet full of incompetents helps ensure support for his greedy, stupid dictates. Competent staff question the risks of massive (and often illegal) changes in policies and procedures - the missing guardrails, so to speak. When your staff are too ignorant to see a downside to your edicts, then it is easy for them to promote them to the public.
It is sadly funny how easily Dems in Congress have unmasked the ignorance of cabinet members in committee hearings. Who was surprised to see that the Wrestlemania Secty of Education is incapable of doing simple arithmetic (what she wrongly refers to as "math"). Then there is the most-unqualifed-in-history Defense Secretary. His judgment was so bad that he was forced to leave uniformed service as a major in part because he was viewed to be a security risk. Then soon after taking office, he triggered a huge security scandal at the Pentagon. All this corruption ensures unquestioned and incompetent RULE by our tariffic [sic] president who has taken a chainsaw to our government structures and the world economy.
That's going to be one of my signs for next Saturday.
Putin wanted to be a spymaster when he was twelve according to author M. Gessen. He is living his dream. He controls ALL the spies and the information that has been put in TRump's file for decades. He can prove the deals made. He has recorded phone calls. You can be assured Putin can account for every dollar Donald took for services rendered.
What else would Putin need? Sex testimony hasn't worked so far---ask Stormy and Karen. The Trump Syndicate, which includes his family, is in it with the Russians and Arabs. They sold our security and information and wrecked our agencies. People died, and Putin is not done killing with their help.
The free world will move on without us. We will have to catch-up. It's going to be HARD. See you in the streets.
I watched you on Velshi this morning, and I think you are right about the June 14 demonstrations. If you, Timothy Snyder, Anne Applebaum, and Masha Gessen are correct, the page will turn on our march to tyranny. This has all happened before!!!
"Last night, President Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles, using the excuse of protests against his immigration raids.
Let me be totally clear about what is happening here.
We have been working closely with law enforcement. There is no unmet need. The President is attempting to inflame passions and provoke a response.
He would like nothing more than for this provocative show of force -- and Pete Hegseth's absurd threat to deploy United States Marines on American soil – to escalate tensions and incite violence.
These are not people who have some deep conviction about protecting law enforcement. This is a President who failed to call up the National Guard when it was actually needed -- on January 6th -- and then pardoned the participants as one of his first acts as president.
They want a spectacle. They want the violence.
They think this is good for them politically.
That is why White House aides were posting pictures of Trump getting popcorn last night.
This is not the way a civilized country behaves. It is completely deranged behavior.
To the people of Los Angeles and across the country who are protesting these immigration raids:
Don't give them the spectacle they want. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully and in large numbers.
I know many of you have been watching the news about this, so I thought it important to reach out.
Russia has tons of Kompromat on Trump. The 'Pee Tapes' from that hotel room, everything his Eastern European wives could learn about him and report back, everything the rest of the compromised-by-the KGB/Putin's Secret Svc knows. (Personally, I think the pee tapes alone would keep Trump 'friends' with Putin. He HATES to be humiliated.)
I am not shocked that the CORPORATE media is giving Trump a pass for his involvement with Epstein, even MSNBC only mentions it in passing, no effort made to dig in and keep the issue on the front burner. Complicit, compromised, cowards? The three C;s of authoritarian enabling.
If Trump does indeed require officers to swear loyalty to him, as did Herr Hitler, 80 to 90% of the officer corps will, especially those that were indoctrinated by Dominionism at a service academy. You will not see any en masse resignation of commissions, too much careerism, too much sympathy, especially in the special operations units ab eo qui scit,m not to mention careerism.
Trump set up a modelling company to COMPETE with Epstein. The guy who gave Epstein/Trump a pass was my former boss. It operated for 17 years closing in 2017. Several models made complaints about Trump. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Model_Management
2018: "It’s clear Alexander Acosta should resign as U.S. Labor Secretary over the sweet deal he gave molester Jeffrey Epstein."
From 2019 NPR. "In 2007, Alex Acosta, later appointed by Trump as Secretary of Labor, was then a U.S. attorney, oversaw a plea agreement that gave Epstein immunity from federal prosecution and allowed him to plead guilty to lesser state charges. At the time, Epstein was accused of sexually abusing young girls.
Asked about Acosta, Trump said the plea deal happened many years ago and that he did not think this was a decision that Acosta made on his own.
"What I do know is that he's been a really, really great secretary of labor. The rest of it, we will have to look at," Trump said.
Acosta defended his actions in a series of tweets.
"With the evidence available more than a decade ago, federal prosecutors insisted that Epstein go to jail, register as a sex offender and put the world on notice that he was a sexual predator," Acosta said.
Besides Musk, questions about Epstein's death abound. While the official cause of death was suicide, some theories suggest foul play due to the circumstances surrounding his death. The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) investigated Epstein's death and released a report detailing several failures by the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) staff at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. The report found that negligence and misconduct by jail staff, such as failing to assign Epstein a cellmate and missing required checks, contributed to the circumstances that enabled him to take his own life. However, the OIG report did not find any evidence of criminality in connection with his death.
I find it extremely difficult to believe that the complete and unredacted Epstein files are available at house.gov web site, especially as i is controlled by the Republicans, and if it had any incriminating evidence about DJT they would be scrubbed.
OK, but bear in mind that there are pedophiles in both parties, and among politicians especially, and one thing is as certain as death and taxes is that look out for themselves.
There is no doubt in my mind, though I can't prov it, that the likes Bill Clinton was a frequent flyer at Epstein's pedo island.
Yes - I saw a lot of this stuff too. Enough. People with money turned a blind eye to what was going on - they knew. The girls were “nobodies” and the men were rich with lawyers. In fact one of those big name lawyers was visitor to Epstein’s island.
Thanks, Thom. Revenge is not sweet.what’s sweet is knowing you can’t be best. With all that’s going on I will remain strong. Despair my dear is not an option. For sure Thom. Optimism is the key.
I posted this April 7 in these Comments - and now the excuse for martial law invocation is imminent.
"You MUST imagine it. Trump has gotten this far because none of us could imagine he would. If we don't get ahead of him, and understand where he's going, we are done. He has already gutted the military of principled officers, established his own Yes Man in Hegseth, and cultivated his private militia whom he released from jails."
We must stay on the streets (June 14 NO KINGS DAY) and PEACEFUL, given the excuse DT is taking against immigrants to take over the National Guard.
Thank You - I didn’t realize how much the military has been gutted.
I live among Trump supporters. I have been living among them for years now. They have veterans’ flags and my family has veterans’ flags.
As time goes on, they are seeing that the rich are not helping regular people. Prices aren’t going down.
The DOGE cuts have been devastating and STUPID. Cancellation of Federal funding to food banks?
Cutting funding for housing assistance??
The tariff’s will interfere with the supply chain and ARE driving prices up at Walmart.
Trump is alienating the people who voted for him. The friends of those people are getting mad at the Trump voters for the higher prices and increased difficulty with their lives because of these cruel decisions. “why did you tell me to vote for this asshole?”
I was listening to some arguing just a while ago. The Medicaid stuff - the work requirements are making them mad - just as even Steve Bannon predicted.
I live in LA, where the fat is hitting the pan. Very worried that Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act this week before NO KINGS DAY, to quell the riots he's provoking. I'm hearing on AM radio that a Marines unit either fm Fort Pendleton or 29 Palms is being readied - and the Marines can only be used if the Insurrection Act is invoked. I have not verified this yet.
Thanks for the interesting review and also new info.
I find forgiveness so healing because when done completely, that is, honest and un-conditional forgiveness, it gives an immediate feeling of all is right and safe that seems to extend in time and expand in awareness. This sense of well-being also extends into everyday life as if to let you know that the choice to forgive completely was not only a correct one, but a life affirming one.
There a more than a few former GI that read and remember their oath. I doubt the never served crowd who think they can easily take over the government of the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave will succeed by just walking in. The fear and willing but the of the leadership to do so might be there but the present GI have all studies and took an oath to not do so. The lower ranks would just remove them. Failing that the Chosen would finish the job. There be dragons.
I'm concerned about how many US military-trained guys are out there, 'loaded for bear' and eager to continue Jan. 6 events. I know many that you are talking about, but would be quite relieved to get a sense that the numbers who 'remember' overwhelmingly outnumber the ones who are ready to fight.
You are missing the news reports about the great numbers of Vets and active duty service members that are members of Proud Boys, Aryan Nations and racist organizations.
Also take note that in large part special operators of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines are right wingers, believing that they are patriots.
