I predict the extreme polarization of medical sciences. There will be a small (and diminishing) corps of dedicated individuals; real scientists who want to make a difference. Through them, and only through them, we will continue to make significant advances in medicine.

 

But their effort will be swamped out by the continuing wave of lies and corruption which passes for “science”. It contains no new discoveries, only new ways of lying about what the pharmaceutical industry is peddling.

 

But those who criticize this system of rampant corruption will be increasingly pilloried and attacked as incompetent, dangerous, dishonest, stupid. It’s already happening with criticism of the “anti-vaccines loonies” and other pejoratives.

 

The only way of surviving in this coming world of chemicalized madness is to look after yourself. But the medical industry won’t like that. It will become more and more difficult, as suppliers of natural products and experts in non-pharma healing are increasingly marginalized or even criminalized.

 

People like me could end up in jail, for teaching you that nature can heal!

 

When naive people are in trouble and go looking for someone to solve their problems for them, they often get bamboozled by cunning, politically-motivated con men who are quite willing to step in and take charge.

 

In pre-Nazi Europe, the fascist dictators Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler were such politicians. In 1929, Germany had been victimized by the Wall Street Stock Market Crash which had caused economic chaos all around the economically-interconnected world – especially heavily-indebted Germany which was still reeling from the consequences of the Great War and the massively unfair Treaty of Versailles that ended the war and made Germany accept responsible for all the reparations costs.

 

he 2018 “Blue Wave” that dominates our national healing is, in fact, a mere ripple within the HUUUUUGE “Rainbow Tsunami” that has two years to transform the nation.

It embodies the rise of a new generation – led by women – that embraces diversity and voted that way. Its larger destiny (we hope) is to help move our bleeding nation away from a male-dominated fossil/nuclear autocracy and toward a matriarchal, green-powered social democracy.

It’s now epitomized by the first open refusal of a major Democratic candidate to concede an obviously stolen election. If Stacey Abrams helps remake our elections into an actual democracy, a whole new world is possible.

Let’s count the ways:

This Rainbow vote was powered by a ten-point jump in turnout among citizens under 30, who went more than two-thirds against Trump.

 

 

What is more sick about U.S. society?

1) It’s totally 100% acceptable to make cruel stupid jokes about people’s appearance.

2) There’s an exception. You shouldn’t do it if the thing you’re making fun of relates to their participation in mass murder.

3) Violation of that exception is such a sin that you must publicly repent and grovel.

4) This is true even if the sin was committed on a steadfastly unfunny and unintelligent television program that nobody watches.

5) The repentance is incomplete without declaring the participant in mass murder to be a “war hero.”

6) You also must promote militarism in general and instruct the audience to honor participants in mass murder with meaningless phrases like “never forget.”

7) You can claim to find heart-warming unity around mass-murder operations and have not a single campaign launched to remove a single one of your advertisers.

8) Only if the entire charade carefully omits any description of how one gets to be a “war hero” and does forget — always forgets — all of the following can it be truly redemptive:

British author and social commentator H.G. Wells may have coined the expression that originally popularized World War I as The War that Will End War, as his book, based on articles written during that vast military conflict, was titled. In any case, in one version or another, the expression was one of the most common catchphrases of the Great War of 1914-1918 and has survived as an expression, often used with a grimace of sarcasm, ever since.

 

Fifty years ago, in my twenties, I often hitchhiked the Pacific Coast Highway through Southern California. I slept on pristine beaches, swam in the ocean, and spent endless hours watching seals and dolphins ride the waves just a few yards offshore.

A favorite spot was in Santa Monica, where Sunset Boulevard meets the sea at Will Rogers State Park. This gorgeous stretch of white sand, framed by the Santa Monica pier to the south and the Malibu Hills to the north, seemed like paradise.

Today, fulfilling a lifelong dream, I live in the San Fernando Valley, a forty-minute drive from the Pacific, half of which is through beautiful Topanga Canyon.

This evening there was something else—an unwelcome terror.

This past Friday, I set off for my weekly bike ride along the beach. As usual, I parked at Will Rogers and rode my bike south down the concrete path about six miles to the Venice Pier. The final stretch, through Venice Beach, featured a constant cloud of the cannabis smoke that now flows free and easy in the land of legal pot.

Hearing for HB 53 – Remove requirement to join public employee union.

A Call to Action - this is our Bastille, so we are calling all warriors to the barricades. While people are up in arms about the Special Prosecutor investigation into election engineering and possible collusion with Trump regime, the real work is being done by a "look over there" political agenda that is meant to confuse and diffuse energies.
