Recycling Biomass, Christine sent the latest article from Alastair Crooke about the question of where America's Cultural Revolution might lead. We can see where the Bolshevik Revolution, the Nazi takeover and China's Cultural Revolution led, and we can see the more hopeful recent history of the collapse of the Soviet Union, with a decade of western vulture-capitalist parasitism, and a 10% loss of population, especially retired people without pensions. Looking at the broad context, I have to consider the collapse of the USSR as being the more optimistic scenario.
As the above commentator remarked, we truly are more in “hospice stage.” With the population increases over time there is no way for actual representative government. Given the monetary policies, we have been in a slow death spiral for decades. Throw in the IT tools to collect & analyze gazillionbytes of data each moment, and we have the most disconnected society in history. The average person is so busy with trivia he doesn’t have the time or inclination to attend to the micro or macro elements in the world.
I have been trying to help parents see that the current mode of high school (for those not yet ready to homeschool) is to overwhelm child AND parents with time commitments. Sports & activities are demanding ridiculous amounts of after school time, more homework is being required, and so both parents & children are on a treadmill with no exit. For this chunk of the population, they are effectively removed from any real thinking about political & economic issues, beyond what media tells them. No time or energy.
This most impacts the “professional middle class family” who are the ones most capable of understanding & seeking to change the system. Obviously this is a generalization, but I believe it to be valid. I will be writing about these issues in the near future, including a brief overview of economic systems & money. It will take significant awakening to course-correct.
Oh yeah, before I forget: political party & “left-right” distinctions mean nothing anymore. They are all collectivist-globalist-power hungry morons. Elections have become a joke, and as much as I truly appreciate what Bobby Kennedy is seeking to do, I have serious doubts about his ability to arrive at the finish line alive. The beast won’t allow it ... and I HOPE & PRAY that I am WRONG!!!

These daze (sp. intentional) I find myself first scrolling down to your "moment of grounded/connected zen" pics as a mental palate cleanse to get into a parasympathetic state, and once again after perusing your info and analysis gatherings I dwell on it long enough to do some vagal tone repair.
Your blogside manner betrays your experienced skill as a physician who has learned how to buffer the news our fragile human hearts don't want to hear, but must if we are to take accountability and make decisions on our next step.
We are all on hospice at this point as your colleague Zach Bush MD says, and taking account & acceptance of where we are is the first step to allowing for miracles. Thanks again for what you do.
" I'm not sure that there is enough intolerance in the US to feed a cultural revolution, or right-fascism, though the potential for a swing to right-fascism has long concerned me."
A swing to 'right-fascism' from the ' left- fascism' we are living now? Mussolini was a student of Marx, perhaps we might come up with a new name for a synthesis of fascist/marxist ideology that seems to have evolved. Considering the hatred of the nazis for communists, and the vestiges of that hatred currently in the Ukraine are we sure who really won WW2?
My thought is collapse of the Federal "giverment" creates 50 chaotic states. Collapse is not an accident though and shaping the outcome in each state, like stealing elections in each state, will have different power interests. And this could bring a kind of civil war. Or a new political order. Or both.
A weak Federal government with an unpopular President in Pacific Rim states coupled with China's control and influence in U.S. politics may influence the Pacific Rim states break free to merge with Western Canada.
I am concerned though as unprecedented death and injury toll from all of the consequences of Covid-19 continue to escalate. Trump, oddly, celebrates "Warp Speed" and is popular with those who detest Biden and shrug about vaccines. So if the election was today the new Il Duce would easily win. But it is not held today and the country is in free fall with no parachute.
JFK, Jr. recognizes this. He is electable as a Democrat. He would find donors grasping the only way to keep Trump out and the Democrats in power is to elect him on the platform of bringing the Covid vaccine creating criminal deep state to Justice. Especially visible devils like Fauci. However once again this if the vote was today.
One year from today or even one month at the present speed of events can drastically alter everything. A collapse of the ability to embargo a narrative of the U.S government being a rouge state domestically for example by information reaching a large enough group of concerned Americans has to have consequences we only can imagine. https://emeralddb3.substack.com/p/the-covid-vaccines-are-contaminated
Chaos; There is no blueprint not even for those who have a certain direction in mind or in the AI mind; and Cultural Revolution. For the last I see never never a cultural revolution happening in the US, not even in Russia, China or Europe it’s impossible. Every culture is on its deathbed, better it’s bleeding to death drop by drop, it will take its time but once all cultures will be gone, all. So what revolution are we talking about, the revolution for making place for something else (Contingency?). Dinosaurs over birds, humans and following.....👨🦯

Hi John
Take time to check out James C Scott has to say about
1. How to not think like a state
2. why avoid the state as much as possible
3. why the savages were indeed smarter than those civilized
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddENAM6MG2k
*Sigh*
I'm so sick of having to explain why neoliberalism doesn't exist.
