They Can't Beat Us If We Join Them


 This will sound pretty unwoke, but, isn't it weird the ICE agents who are murdering and lying under oath about attempted murder, have last names that would catch the attention of ICE agents? Is this some form of self preservation people are using so they are not rounded up, zip tied and hauled off to an unknown future? The identity of the two agents who murdered Alex Pretti are known to us (Jesus  Ochoa and Ray Gutierrez) and there is some speculation they may be arrested in Minnesota for their heinous act. The other story involves another agent with an interesting last name- Castro, who has been charged with lying under oath after he claimed he and his partner were attacked. Video has proven his statement as false, although he is pleading his innocence. 

So, what's going on? Some people will do anything to survive, even if that means turning into a despicable subhuman in order to live another day- a day that now involves violence and ugliness beyond belief. To them it seems to make little difference what type of world they live in as long as they are in it. Clearly my mindset isn't the same. I would rather not be around if this is where we are headed- a dark world where you are predator or prey. 

Life looks pretty grim right now, but I'm not giving up just yet. I can only imagine what life was like for the millions of Jews who were murdered under Hitler's regime. People under extreme circumstances make life altering decisions to save their own skin. When I took a sociology class years ago our professor talked about an experiment where male students were recruited to be prison guards. They gradually became increasingly violent and the experiment ended early. There are questions still regarding how the whole experiment was implemented but the reality is these men chose cruelty when handed abusive power over others.

Be the abuser, not the abused. Kill to survive, no matter if it's wrong or right. Be the problem, not the solution. 

There was no reason to murder Alex Pretti. There was no reason to shoot blindly through a door.  It was a them or us mentality. These men decided to join the murder club. 

That's the world they want to live in?

Yes, the Stanford Experiment. Bigly failure, but someone wants to do it again. The guards readily chose cruelty because they could. The whole thing was a sham, and though the participants were told they could leave anytime, they couldn't. Some broke down from mental anguish though and got out. I think one guard objected and was allowed to leave. I saw a documentary about it decades ago. I lived it quite often on Memphis paint crews. No kidding.

In WWII there were all sorts of Europeans in Hitler's SS cadres. Swedes, Norwegians, French- any country's weirdos were accepted. Even Jews, I have heard. On D-Day, a lot of the troops shooting at us were Czechs and even Hindus. They were pressed into service after being conquered and must have figured, "Well, I'll get fed and be on the winning team".

The Best Books Of All Time?

Image
  😬 I consider myself an avid reader. Having noted that, there are very few books I have read from The Guardian's best 100 books of all time. My list is less than a dozen, even counting a few I started and never finished. 174 prominent writers participated in creating brain food for your pleasure. They each contributed ten of their favorite reads and someone somewhere somehow tabulated the favorites. Without further ado, the number one book of all time is ...... Middlemarch. The fucking hell it is. Lol. Like art, what you like is subjective. Some people believe Manga is good stuff. Others prefer historical novels, blah, blah, blah. I suppose the list is supposed to be taken more seriously because actual writers who make a living writing books have listed what they deemed the best read. I'm not a writer. I suppose like a musician who reads notes, understands the structure, the form, the timbre, they can recognize the whole. I just want a book that will entertain me and not try...

She's Still Dead

Image
   Ashli Babbitt was a traitor to this country. They can have all the ceremonial shenanigans the military likes to present as the deceased has been offered full military honors (We all know who requested that) it still won't negate the fact that she and thugs like her stormed a government building to do harm to others. They shit in the hallways. They carried confederate flags. They brought zip ties, bats and rage. The current regime can sugar coat it all they want but one day the orange man will be manure for his golf course grass and we can go back to truth being important. She deserved to be shot. More of them should have been shot that day. Every police officer should have followed the example of the police officer who did his job that day. These deplorables remind me of the fictional character, Ignatius J. Reilly, a lazy, selfish narcissist who decided to gather the factory employees in protest of some useless, archaic self indulgent mischief. He brought from home his soil...

Benny, Benny And No Regrets

Image
  It's just so hard to keep up with maga creeps. Here's Benny  Johnson, the guy who started the rumor that DC was a cesspool. He also claimed his house burned down while his family was in it. He's a liar. His house never burned down. You really can't believe much of what this asshat says because he has a habit of playing with facts. He also likes to steal other people's words. He has been fired and suspended numerous times for plagiarism, at least 41 times. It just boggles my mind when these people blatantly lie, then are outraged when called out. People like Johnson, Trump and Leavitt have probably lived their whole lives creating a make believe existence where lying is the norm. At some point it just becomes routine where they find lying acceptable and necessary. To me they are empty shells of mindless walking automatons. They live in a bubble of falsehoods. These are the people in charge of our country.  The NYTimes has done a story about Pinocchio Johnson. I dec...
