Google, your data suppression methods are obvious, easily recorded, abysmally inept and generally pathetic.

The simple fact that you actively engage in suppressing this and other alternative news sites means we have won and TRUTH will prevail in the end.

Lemmings and Men

international / prose / post

When lemmings, due to population and other living pressures race over mythical clifftops, as is often depicted, do they have a leader they follow? No, it is a GROUP effort, they all participate in the madness of self-destruction. And so it is with America today, from revolution to a democratic Republic to an authoritarian, totalitarian state, with the usual madman as the leader.

Evolution and clearly devolution are the dynamics involved, everything that rises falls and visa-versa. However, humankind has developed a doomsday device that threatens the entire species.

At one time the nuclear threat was feared to the extreme, but then certain (possibly mutant) members of the species, made policy from, “what’s the point of having nuclear weapons if you don’t use them!” Infamously stated by arch-neocon and madman, Richard Perle. Well, the neocons got their wish, as now the USA, first among nations to kill rather than negotiate, are preparing for a nuclear war, and not just against NK, as I write.

I need not emphasise the insanity of this clearly suicidal approach, as no-one ‘wins’ a nuclear war, as any sane person could appreciate. However, I would refer to the possible solution though observation says there is no solution to insanity other than excision, containment and physical intervention, though these solutions prove ineffective when an entire nation is driven by what appears to be otherworldly forces to plunge over a precipice and extinguish their lives. Which would be fine for the rest of the world, however, America’s insanity threatens everyone on the planet and so WE the global population should not allow this destructive course to proceed. But notice, after Trump declared his insanity to the world at the UN, by threatening to annihilate the entire nation of North Korea, which contains tens of millions of innocent civilians, not ONE world leader even murmured at Trump’s outrageous and clearly sociopathic statement, said in all earnestness as the occasion demanded. Indeed, it seems that the lemming syndrome has jumped species and is now a global human phenomenon, or is it only confined to world leaders, which aberration makes all leaders clearly unfit to lead anything.

What to do in this clearly sick world hell bent on self-destruction? I’m afraid that the only real and effective solution able to deal with this crisis is mindlessly racing toward a precipice of finality. And so it wasn’t really nice knowing you, humanity. Which species has not changed an iota since recorded history, approx 10,000 years. However, the saving grace for what are deemed insignificant life-forms is that they will inherit the earth and evolution would dully do its job until one of the formerly tiny, insignificant species evolves into consciousness, unaware that man ever existed.

Perhaps that is the essential cyclical nature of life on earth, who can say? But what we can easily articulate is that we are fully equipped and able to RESIST the suicidal obvious insanity of world leaders today. But then you/me/we would have to withdraw our participation in the race to oblivion, and there’s Buckley’s and no chance of that occurring any time soon.
