Leaving FB

 

I'm finally fed up with FB, its censorship, its constant load on my browser, causing constant buffering. I'm sick of its 'suggestions' for my reading interests, establishment trolls, etc. I'm also tired of politics in general. Too many posting there who don't bother to educated themselves about what is actually going on here (buy the flag waving, Bible thumping BS, hook, line, and sinker), the unvarnished truth of our ignominious history and our current position as the world's leading terrorist organization, not to mention the decimation of our own country by our owners and their lickspittles, the governing class. 

The whole political system is corrupt (has been practically since its beginning), bought and paid for. I refuse to be sucked in by the main stream media, the propaganda arm of the ruling elite (our owners). The only hope for humanity and the planet is a truly progressive insurgence all around the world. Failing that, there's nothing for me to pay any attention to. So, I'll be posting my interests here, with just the occasional political rant when I just can't stand to be quiet anymore...

Listening to trains and rain...

I'm hearing rain on my roof and train whistles in the deep dark, out to the north-east by the river's edge. It's early in the morning now, but I'm not sleepy yet... so I'll write a little. The weather/climate related disasters, along with the man made ones of the last few months are matching my dark mood, in sympathy with soaking rain and distant train whistles this night.

From Google Images -- Justice... NOT!

The news lately isn't encouraging either, with the criminals who are robbing the poor and middle classes blind given even more incentives to continue their criminal behavior, even though that behavior caused the economic collapse from which we are all (except for those very criminals) still suffering. They produce nothing, only schemes to steal the money and property of unsuspecting dupes, who invest in their scams (and those dupes include pension funds, unions, cities, states, and individuals), or just use that money and property to make even more ill gotten gains, plus destroy our planet's echo system. It's all a big rigged lottery game, where the crooks (house) always win. Not only have those criminals NOT been prosecuted or punished in any way, they've been handed unprecedented salaries and bonuses, while producing NOTHING! All the while their cronies and stooges in congress and state governments cut salaries and benefits for the working class, along with the jobs and services needed to address the natural and man-made disasters this country currently faces. And what of "justice?" Why it serves the ones that have most everything already, bought and payed for!... And worst of all, there's no real outcry, no outrage from the victims, the dupes. They just shut their mouths, hope it won't get any worse for them, not wanting to rock the boat... well me thinks it's time to rock that boat, and any time I see a clear way to do that, consider it done... I'm tired of life being easy for the richest, most conniving among us...;-)~
