[kj] What would John Lennon say?

[godmachinist at kc.rr.com]

If everything could be as simple as buying the world a Coke.

 

Both the left and the right have been using Jedi mind tricks on the American
public for decades.

 

John Lennon hit the nail on the head with one of his billboards,   PEACE
You can have it if you want it

 

As brilliant as I think I am, I had to think about that statement.

 

Ross Perot echoed a similar thought about the power of the individual when
he looked right into the television camera and said  "You can make a
difference".  That is a powerful thought.

 

The Democrat and Republican hierarchy couldn't let that thought spread,
much as a virus would.   This country couldn't be run by the great unwashed.
(Believe me, they look upon the citizens with the same attitude like we
might look at the pigs on an industrial pig farm.  How do we clean up their
shit?)

 

So they circled their wagons and went on to destroy a patriot and an ethical
businessman.  

 

Trump is the reaction of the body politic to the squashing of the ideas that
Perot had.  Talk about Karma turning around and biting the establishment on
the ass.

 

Actually I hope Trump gets pushed hard, and he might choose the "nuclear
option".

 

By "nuclear option" I mean releasing information and physical proof that
extra-terrestrial life does exist.  That would sure reset the "table".

 

The power structure that exists would be turned completely upside down
should ETs show us how to tap some form of gravitational power that would be
free.  And if they gave us medical knowledge to stop cancer from evening
occurring.  Who knows, peace could break out in the world?

 

It is unfortunate that John Lennon is not still with us.  His insight could
be revolutionary.

I find it incredible that shit unwound to the degree it has in the matter of
just 3 months.

 

Trump is an asshole and a shitty President to be sure but the blame for what
we're currently dealing with falls on far more than just his shoulders. The
idiotic partisan politics that have dominated this country have only
magnified the problems and limited if not outright stopped solutions from
what otherwise should have been easily solvable problems.  The terrible,
inconsistent managing of the Covid crisis on the Fed, State and Local level
is a prime example.  Theoretically, we'll soon be having a massive second
wave of infections thanks in large part to the past weeks' worth of throwing
out "social distancing" guidelines so everyone could have massive protests.
So much for shutting down the economy and putting 1/4th of workers out of
their jobs.

 

I'm more disgusted with the stupid, selfish behavior of Americans than I am
with The President who at least we'll have to option of voting out in a few
months.

Living in the US right now is living during wartime. I have to check in with
my Latino students weekly to see if any family members have died. The virus
is spreading like wildfire, mostly due to intentional genocide by Dump (the
death rate is several times higher for ppl of color). There are mass
suicides, including of doctors, who cannot face reality anymore. The economy
is in ruins. Mental illness and domestic abuse have exploded. Cops are
beating, killing, and torturing men, women, and children in the streets and
even in their homes. The hope is that more and more people hate fascism and
are trying to defeat it.
