Punitive Globalism

“Oil” has found itself under the heel of vindictive globalists who stridently insist that the world is on the verge of an extinction-level event, a "climaticlysm", if you will. For them, a measured response is simply out of the question; it's much too late for anything other than a radical redirecting of policies and behaviors – a resetting of the global trajectory. Fortunately, history breeds cynics, and cynics recognize that power, wealth, and control provide compelling motivations to skew, warp, and suppress data – to lie. Thus, one can be forgiven for suspecting ulterior motives. My background, in part, is in Physics; I trust the scientific process, but have little faith in the character of Man, "good political intentions" and, in this case, the proclaimed "science". So now, the rational sector would like to offer the following prescription: nix the blueprint for the destruction (and humbling) of the U.S. and other prosperous nations – the punitive leveling of "playing fields"– and deselect the plan's architects, the big-picture illuminati who can’t see the trees for the forest. Mute the voices incessantly shrieking "CLIMATE CHANGE!" as if the Apocalypse were due the Tuesday after next. Panic is a lead-footed driver with no sense of direction, and it goes without saying, feigned panic to manipulate "unenlightened" masses is morally repugnant. In the United States, increase our fossil fuel production until we’ve, once again, reached a point of self-sufficiency; i.e., until we've regained our energy independence. Then, institute a policy of inverse reciprocity, where the gains made in “green energy” production are offset by commensurate reductions in the production of fossil fuels. In so doing, we can maintain the balance necessary to ensure both our energy independence and our security, while intelligently advancing toward that most noble globalist vision of averting "The Climaticlysm". Lastly and above all else, attempt honesty!

Justice and the American Temperament

There is concern as to what Special Council John Durham can (or will be permitted to) accomplish in his investigation. More specifically, there is a palpable sense of urgency that the culpable be held to account. The audacious and egregious, even criminal acts, perpetrated by the elite of our ruling class, intelligence agencies, military, media, social networking sites, et al – often in seeming coordination – feel indicative of systemic decay, and the players, like a necrotizing bacterium that has evolved resistance to our most potent antibiotics. They are the upper tier "untouchables". My expectation is that Clinton campaign attorney, Michael Sussman, will, in the extreme, endure brightly reddened wrists, despite being one of too many lawyers who should be confronting bars that cannot be passed (Kevin Clinesmith being another case in point). One could be forgiven for thinking that, with regard to the U.S. Constitution, these are a “people apart” – “AMINOs”, if you will: Americans In Name Only. They flout the rules, our laws, and basic morality with seeming impunity, and therein lies the rub. The belief that there will be no justice, no commensurate level of accountability, has altered the American personality. Where there was once passing anger, there is now a perpetual state of low-level rage, and perhaps, for the unstable among us, a yearning to personally exact “justice”. The danger is obvious, even to us, the lowly citizenry.

How Can Anyone Support President Donald Trump?

Question: How is it possible for people to support President Trump, given all of his corrupt misdeeds over the last three years? 

Answer: Please don’t take this as an endorsement of President Trump. It is not! Nor is it an expression of sympathy or affinity for the man. It is merely my attempt to make sense of the thoughts and feelings of those of an ostensibly pro-Trump standpoint. 

I suspect that many (if not most) of the President’s supporters believe that his conduct and character are deeply flawed. Some, perhaps, feel they are condemnable; he is, at times, a loathsome bully who, most probably, has breached the law on an occasion or two. Still, they reason: There has been a move afoot since day-one of his tenure – a move perpetrated by an elite of a nature far more pernicious and repugnant than anything Donald Trump has exhibited – to dispose of him like a couple of hundred pounds of putrid, orange-tinged meat. And so, in response to an attempt at disenfranchisement by their venomous and vile “betters”, they bitterly, stridently, spitefully, and steadfastly hold to their seemingly untenable position. In their view, President Donald Trump is vastly the lesser of two evils, the "relatively-good Samaritan". He is the bullied bully who has become the beneficiary of profound resentment.

Freedom of the Press

It has been reported that the U.S. news media - "the press" - have blamed President Donald Trump for the diminishment of their freedom. I would posit, however, that the U.S. press is not less free, not the pitiable victim of our truth-averse president; it is incarcerated, bounded by its own biases, purposes, and allegiances. It has become pathological in its vindictiveness, obsessive in its single-minded pursuit of an objective; namely the destruction of "THE ACCIDENTAL PRESIDENT". Its peripheral vision has blackened through atrophy and its movements are so conjoined as to appear orchestrated. The American press myopically perceives and bemoans a freedom fading in a barrage of "withering criticism" leveled by a crass and belligerent president, while it misses what is, in essence, a prison of its own making: nonobjectivity.

Delicate Balance: The Threshold Of American Revolution

We Americans, as a whole, are a fairly adaptive lot. While there is much that makes us hot under the collar, we tend to take the wide-angled view and note that things are rarely so bad as to warrant anything more than the occasional rant. When confronted with news of the latest scandal or crisis and the implicit or explicit message that we’ve again been robbed of our wealth or our liberty, we commonly observe “We’ve been screwed again”, ingest antacids, and carry on with lives less fair, less full. What is it that allows us to suffer the manifold indignities and the diminishment of life and self at the exacting of agents of injustice? Is it that we are sufficiently comfortable, satisfied, and thus, disinclined to stir the pot lest we become scalded through our righteous agitation? Are we too contented to face systems of seemingly impenetrable, laminar complexity to right what are obvious and profound wrongs? My suspicion is that the searing, tensing affronts and injustices wrought by the immorality of our spiritually barren, feckless "leaders" and the "movers and shakers" who retain them–these perfidies that we have come to expect and to which we have become inured, that we assimilate and adapt to–are indeed counteracted by comforts, pleasures, and trappings that are balm in the lives of “ordinary Americans”. We will continue to endure the bursting of bubbles, the scandals, the crises, the inequities, iniquities, and mendacities symptomatic of our condition–the condition of an America on the gurney–as long as there is the soothing and the balance. Is there a breaking point at which we say (and mean) enough is enough? Most probably, but the noted agents of injustice have become remarkably skilled in their art, ever refining, ever testing and stretching the limits of our adaptability, and, it is hoped, ever regardful of our modulus of elasticity and that which constitutes the delicate balance.
