It's Raining

Post by mnaz » May 31st, 2020, 3:38 pm

It's raining, everywhere.
Fire, pandemics, polemics.
Riots and smash grab justice.
Screams in the echo chamber.
Shouts in deserts of emptiness.
If we don't then someone else will.

when 8 people own 50% of all the wealth
many folks will be hurting pretty damn bad
the pandemic exposed the fragility of the ruse
at times we come together like for George Floyd
( and even that is full of opportunists )
at other times we hoard all the toilet paper for our self
we are due for major systemic changes
too many billionaires and millionaires
Jeff Besos is the modern day slave owner
and killing George Floyd is the modern day lynching
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Out of balance, for a long while.
(Not exactly a fair "competition.")
Don't leave Zuck out of this either.
Rake profits in early in a so-called
Age of Information platform, then
just shrink, no responsibility at all.

I consider myself a reasonable man.
I see us stuck in corporate religions
and militarism, hand in hand and
heading toward some sort of cliff,
though I could be wrong, I admit,
I should be more of an optimist.

the unchecked grab for all the marbles
has brought the nation to its knees, and
it was a knee on the neck of George Floyd
that woke everyone up

without Major systemic changes we will have
mayhem and civil war as the have-nots scramble
for the crumbs....and what is this nutty obsession
with domination

Trump even verbalized it, said we need to dominate the protesters
so he tear gassed peaceful demonstrators
so he could causally walk over to historic St. John's Church
and hold up the bible.....a mere photo op

no words of unity
and keep in mind all the notorious despots have done this
posed with a "sacred " book
God and Country....Blood and Soil

Honor my power and supreme authority....or else
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

There are many who will agree with you, "hand in hand and
heading toward some sort of cliff.."
6.04.2020 : Save America! Save Democracy!

Many who study such global situations are saying authoritarianism/fascism is on America's horizon... the signs are clear... it's not to be scoffed at.

As a nation with the the 3rd largest population on earth, our Democracy is in horrible condition, with no help from DJT who makes things much worse... all for his plan - a takeover of our Nation and all it stands up for. But how many citizens really believe that can ever happen in "Our Country?" It's unimaginable to think the USA would revolt against itself and it's Constitution. Unthinkable! But the plan is in gear now.

"Wait until we can vote him out..." is the great hope for those who see or feel what is going on. But DJT has the answer to the votes, let the votes pour in and when he sees they favor the opponents, the big screen will go up and he'll be yelling "the votes are illegal! We demand a recount!
You know what will happen then... pass a law with Barr at the helm to stop all voting until DJT gets what he wants... silently, then springs it on Tweeter for his trumpettes.

Can he be stopped? SCOTUS is weak, unable to have a say so our even speak out with DJY pressuring, threatening all SCOTUS. I see the only defense is our military who largely has given oath to defend the Country and the Constitution. I believe the majority of the high ranking generals and admirals truly love this country and WILL DEFEND the best they can...even at the point should it get that far, risk their lives.

As long as We the People remain doubtful, remain ignorant, remain blind to what's going on around us, they, (all 329,731,335 of us), in all stupidity, allow Fascism to run our lives... with the Orange Man in complete control just like his idols, Putin (who he treats with kid gloves not to rile Putin), North Korea/Supreme leader Kim Jong-un (who Donny publicly said 'I love him!'), and China's Xi Jinping for but (3) examples.

LISTEN!! TRUMP loves the idea of authoritarian control. It's showing more and more daily. He knows how many will not ever believe that about him, and consequently he rallies at there countries. But we know he doesn't give a shit about those "fans"... he only cares about "Royal" Donny. REMEMBER DJT has the "keys to annihilation" of whatever upsets him at the moment, so unstable this man truly is.

The larger the population the more potential trouble, so it's important to "control" the population, "control" the message.

Fuck I hate politics sometimes.

DJT's latest dirty play on America - yesterday he FIRED everyone that works/worked at the long loved and admired "Voice of America".

Why you ask..? He's already got the new players and not a one knows anything about journalism... only stooges for the Thug in Charge.

Hard to believe? Indeed, but that's done in the late of Friday to cover up with his Rally in Tulsa, OK.

I swear, DJT is out to throw the government... OUR Government, the USA. And there seems to be NOTHING we the people can do....

DJT's thugs will absolutely play some even dirtier tricks before the election, we so hope will overthrow him. Don't be so sure that will help us.

DJT is in the news EVERY DAY nearly EVERY HOUR and nobody can or will shut him up. He's a danger to EVERYONE of us and ANYONE who disagrees with him.

The Civil War is on the horizon... and the madman has the keys to complete annihilation. Let that settle in...

No, this is NOT a SCI-FI movie from Hollywood. This is the real thing... the war has just begun...
