The video was sad, I thought. The end of the first world war just gave us Hitler 20 years later. War never ends, unfortunately.

Now we have Peace Prize Trump Class Warships on the horizon.

Please, America 🇺🇸, don’t let Trumpolini have more toys this Christmas. He’s been very, very naughty.

The truth of the matter is that both parties are corrupt. Heck, we don’t even have two political parties. There is just one gigantic ongoing criminal enterprise. Republican or Democrat, they’re always going to do exactly what their biggest “donors” want them to do and this will never change until we collectively demand an end to the system of legalized bribery that is the cause of all the problems in the world.

The Republicans and Democrats are using your tax dollars to fund, arm, and provide political cover for genocide—the worst crime known to man. To add insult to injury, these heinous war criminals say that they support Israel’s right to defend itself—like slaughtering thousands of innocent children could ever be considered self-defense. If this is not enough of a reason to withdraw your support from these two horrifically corrupt political parties—what the hell would be?

What if I told you that I could prove the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties have been conspiring together to subvert the rule of law? You know, conspiring together to strip away everyone’s constitutional rights--including yours. Would proof of treason be enough of a reason to withdraw your support? Well, I have that proof. I put it in a book.

Go to my Substack and read the introduction letter. (It contains a link for a free digital copy of my book: The Illusion of Justice.)

I'm just trying to get Democrats to read their Democratic platform understand it, get our Democratic elected people to promote it and support it.

It's all theater. For example, I personally gave Senator Chuck Schumer and the other Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee proof of judicial misconduct by Amy Coney Barrett at her Supreme Court confirmation hearing. The Democrats refused to use it and then campaigned on protecting a woman's right to choose when they were at least partially responsible for letting Barrett on the bench in the first place. The Democrats are pretending to opposed to the "Republican" agenda. You can read about their reprehensible conduct in the Postscript of my book.

Michael, can you also share about the 8 people in prison in Britain who are fasting. I remember Bobby Sands so distinctly. You, too, no doubt. I see the tide turning as more of the whole truth about the State of Israel is coming to light. One day everyone will have always been against this.

I think Senator of WA Patty Murray has changed her tune on Gaza and voted no on more arms to Israel...would be good to see an updated list.

Thanks for sharing the film. It bothers me immensely that the same sweet students I spend years teaching, doing everything I can to help them with job skills to help the world, could be considered pawns in such useless violence!!!!

Shared on all my platforms, with a big thank you to Mike, Sean, Yoko and John. I'm telling followers to use these pieces of peace art as palate cleansers for the news that the spoiled brat boys running our country will build battleships so they can "play army men and get girls." Oh, and kill more "bad guys."

I know a LOT more about "American" history now than I did back then - only took me twenty years.

Thanks Mike, will check it out!

I unsubscribed the a lot of candidates mailing lists after reading that Black and white poster. Thanks for the heads up!

Japan built two huge (at that time) battleships before they attacked Pearl Harbor. Source of national pride that became targets for US aircraft and were of little use to them after the Uwe focused entirely on the Pacific theater. They lost that war. I read about this on the internet. Look it up. Will we be setting ourselves up for a similar fate in an age of drones, etc.?

Not unlike a very long drive to the VLA - Very Large Array - with Ernie...

.

.

Via "Truth or Consequence" ...

.

Typical 'Sample" conversation / roadtrip nd happenstances...

.

TRY to not get your eight year old son run over by a train on the blind side of mountain on a railway bridge with no pedestrian space nor "Side walk" -

.

You can hang on by your fingernails but it's a two-hundred-foot drop.

.

AND you have your fragile son hanging around your neck - try explaining that to the wife - if and when you come back.

.

[Hopefully in one piece.].

.

Thinking and planning ahead is just for "Other people"...

.

Even the rattlesnakes go for him for no reason at all.

.

People just get killed standing next to the man - a cyclone of inexplicable accidents - that no one can account for but yet Ernie always survives without a scractch.

Nobody even emails to complain these days - you can't complain about something you can't see.

I guess that "depends" on your sense of smell ...

This is a response to your wonderful!!! writing about the two boys at your high school graduation - one who was treated so horribly because he was wearing a bolo tie, and the other, in the wheelchair, who was denied his honor society cords. It was so moving to read it. In one case you acted to correct the wrong, in the other, you did not. Everyone has regrets about some omission in their life. Thank you for everything you have done to make this country a better one. Sorry this is posted in the wrong place.

Weirdly this morning I was just thinking about what year Michael Moore became an Eagle Scout and then also thinking about the fact that he "Only" has a high school education (although "We" autodidacts don't really give a fig about what's on paper for claimed "edjumication".) given that he written and directed so much. The main thing is that Michael uses his noodle - always. This interface being an illusion of Michael anyway.

.

THEN also makes me wonder when Michael lost his "Catholic" faith (in a good way IMO) although training to take the orders - become a priest...

.

AND then,

.

OBVIOUSLY lost his faith with "Presidents" or seemingly the office of the president after that massive - shall we say - moral failures of Obama. Onwards... (but also preceded by near unbated moral failings since and during and before the Vietnam war) ... The line in the sand - the tipping point.

.

And then having to "Do the right thing" by going on tour to shill for the wife of a WAR CRIMINAL and out-republicaner of the republicans - Billary Clintonz.

.

And no doubt he's on a new much darker "Moral trajectory" - in the face of much more serious and deeper more prescient findings - directly or obliquely by this apparent "Project" / experiment.

.

It's not a bad thing to leave much behind while stationary.

.

Today I am left with the feeling that this project and media interfaces was specifically designed to make people much more stupid and less able than they were to begin with.

.

De-railed to serve a different "Window" in a more diminished way - not just a McJob.

.

A final project to absolutely blow everything to smithereens and to get to core of what it means to "BE" an American.

That time my evil mother tried to force my father to get a McJob at the Wimpy hamburger joint - as he has olive colored skin and would blend in with the Cypriots that worked there (who wear paper hats) ... Oscar Nominated and Bafta winning Production designer - set dresser and art director.

.

Nowadays people spend upwards of $1 million dollars to make the interior of their respective living rooms look like the Millenium Falcon. Old man practically died in penury in a way I would not wish on my worst enemy.

.

Honestly they do a pretty god job of that...

.

Somehow the Schwartz has to "Restore" balance to the force.

.

All I can I think about is how my patents (most of which) have expired - after extreme effort to bring new and strident technologies to the fore [Independently] - now in some sense "Public domain" the deal for having a temporary monopoly over the technologies that one has invented at great personal expense + not being stollen from or squashed like a bug by giant corporations... (deliberately or accidently) compared to these asswipes / arsewipes that wrote a popular jingle that has ever renewable copyright and can score never ending residuals for - basically no "Expiration" for very little talent and very little effort and very little amount of brain cells to rub together.

.

^^^ The difference in effort and intellect cannot even be compared - candle to a atomic explosion level of difference.

.

I have learnt pretty much to IGNORE the academy of what WAS (Past tense) the Academy of Motion Pictures ARTS and SCIENCES as it seems the 'Drama" club that has taken over the institution really has a very dim witted concept of both "Art" and "Science" barely in name only.

.

A bunch of self-serving hoars and political idiots now increasingly from hell.

.

.

Where is there to GO - for the son of Loki in a world of dim witted sentimental unoriginal TRASH.

.

EEEEERRRRRIIIIIIICCCCCCC -(Ghost of the future) - independent fiiiiiiiilllllllllmmmmmmmmmzzzzzzzzzz.

.

My initial wants are no longer compatible with what I actually CHOOSE to write.

.

So further trapped incubation required to merge things that should never normally be merged.

.

Yada yada yada - blah blah blah...

.

I guess the point was - through apparent narcissism was to grow stupider and stupider in the vacuum.

.

[Not in this case - although I haven' written a single line of code in far too long.].

.

A.I. being the enemy that was a necessary fork in the road I guess.

I cannot bring myself to watch to the end such trash after skimming through it.

.

What would Otto Dix make of all this ?

.

People endlessly mooching off sappy shit for every dollar they can with the lamest and easiest ideas known to "Man".

.

EVEN B1 would ruthlessly take the piss out of such things - in a way that even his closest allies were too stupid to understand.

.

Takes one to know one.
