My buddy told me he felt good now because he didn't need to watch the news everyday to see what Trump had done. I'm hearing comments like "Joe's doing a pretty good job". His approval numbers are high. Is it ignorance or apathy? I don't know and I don't care.
Yesterday as hurricane Delta came by, they warned people to be weather aware because there could be under the radar tornadoes. It made me think of so many things that are "under the radar"...mostly because the corporate media fails to inform, and they want our attention purposefully turned elsewhere. TPTB do not want US citizens to know Russia brokered a cease fire. Sadly it appears to have failed. All they can do is bad mouth their sputnik V vaccine which is in clinical trials. How often have you heard the main stream media report on Julian's torture? Evidently the US is building a permanent base in Syria in order to guard the oil we've stolen as we impose crushing sanctions...not to mention more sanctions against Iran. Meanwhile the debate about the debate is 24/7.
...and reverberations are felt around the world.
Across the country and world symptoms of the collapse are evident. Our self centered “for profit” mentality is driving us to the brink of extinction. We have created the forever war on terror by droning our way to ever more terrorists. All the while bowing to the god of profit by selling weapons to both sides of most conflicts. On a large scale we have promoted environmental degradation, climate chaos, and the sixth mass extinction event largely for the profit of a few fossil fuel giants. On another scale we see the public sphere privatized “for profit” from schools to prisons to hospitals to parks to... a for profit system enforced by militarized police. And yet another obvious symptom of the fall of the empire is the crony corporate economy designed for the elite with the current tax cut as a prime example.
