100 HUNDRED SECONDS TILL MIDNIGHT

PREFACE:  Remember when you vote:  The Republican party is dead.  Those posing as Republicans have become the main reason why what follows may well end life as we know it.  Be prepared for real terror as you read.  

Those posing as Republican leaders are interested only in perpetuating their own power.  They are willing to sacrifice not just Democracy but the safety of mankind to keep it.  They live in fear of Trump taking their individual power.  Yellow dogs.  Kids die for our country.  This vermin spits on the reasons for those deaths for a job.  A lot of Central NY likes John Katko.  Republican or Democrat, please realize that he will perpetuate our demise along with his party.  Please do not vote for him.  A vote for John Katko is a vote for the end of Democracy.  Even if you are related.  Harsh, weird to say, and disgustingly true.  And John, you know better.  I implore you.   Please follow the truth of our land and stand up like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger against the desecration of our hallowed dead.  Your party is perpetuating the demise of our Founding pursuit and you know it.  You have not stood up.  Please Central New York see this.  No matter what you thought before all of this.  This is the truth today.  The John Katko who failed his Country must go.

One more thing.  The Party knows how voters think.  They know John Katko represents a more Liberal area.  His vote for Trump’s impeachment and Bannon’s Trumpian contempt indictment (deceit without consequence) were to dupe you for your future support.  It is Political tactic to allow votes against your party that change nothing, to protect representatives where party loyalties are close.  This is a vital seat and could easily be the single vote that ends our survival, voting rights and Democracy and other issues that support autocratic pursuit.  Don’t be fooled.

 100 SECONDS TILL MIDNIGHT

It is unbelievable that we have come to this kind of systemic fault in America.  This column is about bottom lines.  Root causes that if fixed could begin a correction.  We are pretty far gone.  The danger of complete collapse in many areas is real.  The truth really does hurt, a lot.  As the root cause is deeply embedded it is not likely we will prevent massive disasters.  All too soon.  First, I will show you what is wrong, then I will present the eminent dangers of social collapse or massive or complete destruction if we continue proceeding in this environment.

Herewith:  The First and foremost bottom line is our leadership system.  Foremost because it is not designed to protect or regulate for the people or for the planet.  It is system of cruel selfish bribery.  With money ruling everything from donations to algorithms, the people and the good of the planet are not even in play.  And the cumulative effect has begun.  Earth and Humanity are now at great risk.  We are governed by the worst among us.  Our leader’s collective acquiesce has caused a system that allows dramatic real danger to prevail on many fronts.  The answer is simple:  Remove money from Politics. Develop carefully designed rules to attract our best.  Completely overhaul the lobby system.  Establish a board if inquiry as an intermediary between lobbyists and leaders removing personal contact between a lobbyist and the Leadership.  Let the 1% know the free ride is over.  Only the best that we can be want to lead in this environment.  With the best that we can be in place decisions will be made to try to turn all this around.    

Going forward it is good to understand fools will deny reality.  Yet only the wise, those able to acknowledge reality can determine its’ future course.  Life as we know it is on the line.  The extent and details will depend on the disaster or disasters that take place.  Yes, more than one may well be in play simultaneously.

NUCLEAR DEVASTATION:   DOOMSDAY – 100 SECONDS TILL MIDNIGHT – This is the most likely event to take place.  We have not evolved well enough to properly control this power that can end us.  We have shown in America that we are led by those incapable of participating in time, with any reasonable efforts to alter any earth endangering matter.  If you research you will find that China has been earnestly researching ways to win, yes win a nuclear war.  They are researching “Shock an awe” techniques against American satellites, Submarines, Aircraft Carriers and Nuclear Facilities.  Russia is constantly increasing their nuclear arsenal.  And I am sure no one has informed you, they do military exercises together these days.  Both are preparing for what they rightfully perceive to be a highly probable nuclear exchange.  International systems are a Hitlorite leader away from the destruction of mankind.  From China to Russia to North Korea to Iran etc. to a nut in the desert, or the White House, the reality of a nuclear exchange is almost a certainty.  There are 10’s of thousands of Nukes.  There is enough destructive force to blow the earth to smithereens.  Because we are a stupid squabbling species.  

CLIMATE CHANGE:   Climate change is real. In a few short decades the entire social structure of our planet will change.  If we are lucky there will be just enough time to adjust our systems so that the logistics of matters critical to life are sustained.  So long as we can do this some reasonable social structure may be maintained.  In any event, in this era, entire coastlines including cities such as New Orleans, Miami, Houston, Charleston, Atlantic City, Virginia Beach, New York City and many more around the world will be inundated with flooding in current lifetimes.  This is not preventable.  Migrations will be massive.  We will become a planet that no longer uses its energy to recklessly consume for money but a planet trying to figure out how to keep most of alive.  Because we are a stupid squabbling species.   

OVER POPULATION:   The Planet is gaining 140,000 people a day. At 7.9 billion we are already far over what the planet can sustain long term.  “Earth Overshoot Day was July 29th this year.  Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity has exhausted nature’s budget for the year. For the rest of the year, we are maintaining our ecological deficit by drawing down local resource stocks and accumulating carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We are operating in overshoot. Typically, in nature when an invasive species such as us moves into an area and is freed from predation, it expands beyond the carrying capacity of their environment.  This diminishes the food and resources needed to sustain itself.  Resources become so skewed that a period of fierce competition for limited resources breaks out and only the fittest survive.  The Planet is already on this path.  Because we are a stupid squabbling species.

Mass Communication:  We have lost control of providing information with integrity to the people of earth.  We have allowed a system that fosters lies, and distortion to be prioritized for money.  This inflates unrest and has sown division that stymies progress vital to our existence.  Artificial intelligence i.e., algorithms are designed to incite.  Social media is a massive contributor to our endangered survival.   This nonsense, inexcusably accepted by regulators has allowed the lies and conspiracy theories of the worst of us to change the belief systems of too much of our population.  Fox News and Facebook are the major contributors to ensuring the world will end due to faulted information diminishing truth and incentive.  The rest of the media is guilty yet Facebook and Fox take the lead due to their massive international exposure.  A perfect analogy is Hitler.  He improved highways, and animal protection, and began the Volkswagen and more.  Nice?  Like Facebook and Fox, the good had an underbelly in pursuit wrongs so evil that holocaust and destruction will be their final legacy.  Any good was disgraced by the evil.  So too will history, if it written after the results are in, will be the Legacy of Fox and Facebook.  And the all Mass-Communication that allowed greed and algorithms to excuse lies and evil being sourced to masses creating an integrity confusion that rendered truth useless.  Thus destroying the unity necessary to save humanity and earth.  Because we are a stupid squabbling species.   

I know, the truth hurts and hope springs eternal.  Yet for some reason humans do not get it, even when they are on not one, but several different earth ending deadly freight trains speeding toward a chasm without a bridge.  We realize things when we are in the air.  A bit late.  The price for being a stupid squabbling species.
