RFK Jr will wait until September 14th when the DNC finalizes their primary rules. Ha ha ha! Remember how they changed the delegate rules to exclude Tulsi in 2020 even though she met the requirement?

If Jr commits to a binding decision based upon the word and honor of the DNC, he is not qualified to be POTUS.

He must have a plan for when they treat him worse than Bernie Sanders.

He could do what Bernie wouldn't do with Jill Stein in 2016 (if Dr. West went along w/it). Imagine . . . . the, top two "Democratic" candidates both, together, on the . . . Green ticket! No matter what, this election will keep on giving . . .

I think Tulsi looks up to Bobby Jr. a LOT, and would be the VP candidate.

We shall see. Complicated times.

Elite plans are not keeping up with their schedules, I think, but they stick with them...

Tulsi as VP could lead to 16 total years of a Kennedy Gabbard team if it went well. She would be a good insurance policy for him, too, not like LBJ helping kill JFK.

I'm looking at where we are at a crisis point in history.

("What you mean 'we', White man?", Tonto to Lone Ranger, punchline)

The western elites are served by imperial courtiers like the Clintons, Bidens, Obama(s), Podestas, Pelosi, McConnell, etc.

Corruption, perversion and murder are not particular issues, but incompetence managing the properties of the owners is an issue.

The current power-circle is continuous since Bush-1, excepts for that weird-hair-accident guy.

The world is going through rapid restructuring. Threats and doubling-down are not working.

This current crowd of corrupt managers is locked-in to their modus operandi.

The owners are at the same stress-point that they were in 1932. They can't give up "control", but they are not in control and things are just getting worse for their ownership positions until they give up "control" to a real, functional, talented chief executive, over whom they will not really have veto-power.

Numerous of the "non-western" countries have variously talented nationalist chief-executives who are sort of banding together in a loose-alliance against the common imperialist enemy.

The owners are in the "Monkey Trap", grasping the sweet-rice inside the coconut-hole, unable to get their (collective) fist out.

Either RFK Jr. or Trump would take a rationalist approach and renounce empire, jettison the imperial structure, and much of the imperial extraction-mechanism. Either would rebuild an American national economy along productive lines, not bleeding the emaciated body to death.

So I am looking at that end of things. There are plenty of rationalists who would happily work things out, and the current imperial courtiers are acting more openly desperate and vicious.

We shall see. At some point there will be a power transition to a different group of oligarchs, who will need the American people to consent to a rebuild. I don't know when it might happen.

Maybe I'm wrong. We'll see.

That Hawaiian woman addressing the housing authority...WOW!! Fearless. Let her investigate and report what’s going on in Lahaina!

If they can determine who did this the Hawaiian way would be to roast and eat them, I think.

As it should be.

The fascinating question is why do Americans pretend that their country is not Totalitarianism? Shameless propaganda posits free and fair elections. Safe and effective biological war injections even for Pregant women and children. Masks as health. I am tempted to add lockdowns are freedom but no, just lockdowns save. Jesus doesn’t. The normality of this great shift from 2018 “Normalcy” is almost unexplainable until fear is added. Fear drives otherwise healthy individuals to vote on their continued slavery and be grateful their betters give them a chance to humbly proffer opinions.

That is breaking. What will break it more?

Lahaina? There is a lot of interest.

An excellent question is what koan opens the closed mind when the stick will not work?

If Tucker smiled one night widely with white teeth exactly alike and said firmly this just came to my attention. I think it is very important.

Zen master Joshu was asked

"Has a dog Buddha nature?" Joshu replied: "MU"

My fellow Amerikans-MU

"MU" is like "Woof!"

"Johnshu"

If we are not fully absorbed in the koan, we are not fully absorbed in whatever we are doing. The stick helps I'm told by those who have done the Rinzai practice in Japan. Americans and MU but Americans are not howling like beaten dogs quite yet outside of Maui. And on Maui no one but grassroots media hears the sounds.

No 2 paths to truth are identical.

Ok. Jane Doe does not mask and inject and isolate for oil. Her bureaucratic masters also do not state oil collapsing therefore requires all that follows. Fauci may not even recognize de-growth is a Holy Truth.

In my small circle none of the middle class express angst regarding oil. Fear of death did create angst. For Jane only paying more at pump and for energy inputs for food matters but not being educated on energy and responding to propaganda inputs no connection is made. Need to know includes many highly educated and intelligent stratums of people. De-Growth per se is not really a bad idea. A certain sort of exploitive extractive social order emerged with Industrialism in the18th and 19th and 20th centuries. This can change and civilization can flourish. The desire of some men to murder all other men and replace them with organic robots is quite a distinctly different matter than smartening up resource use.

Peak oil at the end of 2018 looked like the "repo crisis", fixed by COVID-lockdowns and massive trillions directly injected into the financial system, with inflation delayed by the lockdowns.

We are now seeing secretive mass murders of various covert types...

Post peak oil is weird.

Did you put up the quote that men who choose lies as their method must choose violence as their means, or something to that effect?

Expand full comment

Yes. A fixture of my obsessive thought. I'd like to say Someone To Love hipped me at 10 about lies. That transistor radio and I in 1967 were close friends.

KFRC out of San Francisco was live and I only 100 miles-an eternity away.

Yeah I am abiotic oil guy. I think some collapse is a good thing. The suburban sprawl is ideal for re-purposing into a human habitat.

No reason suburban homes can't grow food. A backyard can generate quite a bit of organic food. Death to Safeway! Small is Beautiful. Local is where it's at. All of us have the right to be intelligent!
