On the Eve of Doom

On the eve of a very, very dark day in American history, the second inauguration of Donald f—king Trump, I find it necessary to make this post about things I’ve gradually come to realize over the last 5+ years. Trump is the front man for the extreme right, led by a handful of the One Percent. (Not all of them. It only takes a small number of people with that kind of wealth and influence. After all, a single CIA agent brought about the overthrow of the Shah of Iran and the Iranian Revolution in the late 70’s. He wasn’t wealthy but had the security clearance and resources of a CIA agent. Think what a group of mega billionaires could do with a network of corrupt officials on their payroll.)

The FBI warned us about  increasing right wing extremism after Jan. 6, 2021. The warning was a bit late, I’d say, but that’s not surprising since Trump had control of the Justice Department for four years at that point.  The far right are the perpetrators of many harmful and twisted schemes.  Their victims are called targeted individuals and the methodology they use is called gang stalking.  I know because I’m  one of the targets.  I’ve been aware of it for at least four  years now.  It started about ten years ago.  Actually, it may have started more than 30 years ago!

The perps are very cowardly and covert.  They do harm to people just because they’re told slander about them by their organizers.  In their warped and feeble minds, they may actually believe that they’re the good guys!  Many of them are Q-anon Theory-adhering  fools.  The far right Q-anon conspiracy theory says that liberals are running human trafficking, sex trafficking, and drug trafficking networks and producing child pornography, and it even goes so far as to claim that they drink the blood of children! Tens of millions of people are accepting such nonsense.

When I first read about the Q-anon theoy, I assumed it was just complete fiction made up by far right nut jobs, but the more I learn about them, I can only assume that those claiming that this is happening are actively engaged in such activities themselves. Indeed, there have already been incidents of law enforcement busting human trafficking rings, like a large one in Ohio last year.  (The incoming VP’s state.)  Trump and the far right always accuse others of the very things they themselves are doing.  It’s known as projection.  Putin and other despots do it as well as Trump.

Trump was buddies with Epstein who died in prison during Trump’s first term.  Virtually no one believed that it was suicide.  There are many conspiracy theories surrounding his death,  but the only one that makes sense to me is that he was silenced so that he couldn’t give away Trump’s connection to the human trafficking and sexual exploitation of minors which was Epstein’s trademark.

Then you have Matt Gaetz who was Trump’s first choice out of anyone in the country, to be Attorney General, head of the Justice Department and top law enforcement official in the nation!  Gaetz was under investigation for sex trafficking and, hooking up with prostitutes and illicit drug use when he resigned from the Senate.  Q-anon nonsense says there’s going to be a large roundup of these alleged liberal networks.  I believe the far right will use the exposure of these networks (their own)  to frame their political enemies  and  hand-picked targets  as an excuse to institute martial law, or at least to expand the government’s power to surveil, search and “inivestigate’ U. S. citizens without cause, much like the Patriot Act did, but much more aggressively.

 Gaetz has probably been involved with the Q-anon activities for years. Who better to frame innocent people for the extreme right’s activities than one of the organizers? Gaetz knows who they have been setting up as scapegoats.  Now he’ll have to do it indirectly by telling Pam Bondi, another Trump loyalist, who to go after.

After that, Trump may even try to suspend the Constitution and eventually rewrite the Constitution, a long time dream of the far right,  with a Constitutional Convention.  That will be the end of the U. S. as we know it. This isn’t just waiting out four years.  Trump and the far right and a few one percenters are playing for keeps.

Trump’s army (TRASH –  Trump’s Radicalized Army of Sadistic Haters) have been carrying out many criminal activities for years to pay for their agenda, and to bribe officials, pay their operatives and acquire properties and equipment for their electronic harassment  and much more.  They all use Trump’s methodology , trained as con artists.  Trump is a third generation con man and he invented gang stalking, inspired by his family business and the mobsters he rubbed elbows with :  American, Russian and everything in between.

Next time:  Gang stalking against me goes back at least 30 years, but TRASH’s schemes go back at least 50 years.

We’re all in this together

With so much division in our nation, right now,  it’s hard for any of us to remember a frequent theme of mine: “We’re all in this together.” I must admit I too have had many an argument on Facebook,  and tweeted or re-tweeted some harshly worded political messages. Some of my social media friends may find it hard to believe, but I’ve actually refrained from posting things many times because I feel like everyone is sick of it.

So how do we breach the divide? How do we, the common folk, the labor force, the consumers, the middle class, work together? Wait, we do it everyday.  At our jobs, at the grocery store, in the doctor’s office waiting room, at the fair or the park, and many times, coming together in a crisis.

I work with one woman who hates Trump and one who whole-heartedly supports him. The funny thing is, I (and many of my coworkers) don’t like the person who shares my ideology, while I enjoy conversation with the opposing one. We never talk politics, but who needs to?

Perhaps, we need a middle-of-the-road third party to replace these privileged politicians, these manipulating players, these bickering bureaucrats.

I think, when it comes down to it, we all want the same thing. Safety, security for the present and the future for our families and friends, and everyone else, and a little extra for fun stuff, and, of course, someone special to share it all with.

Obviously, there’s a great deal of disagreement on how to achieve that, but the answer is usually somewhere in between the extremes. We all feel helpless and angry at different times when major events occur that we have no control over.   Maybe that’s why there are so many social media “debates”. It’s all we can do. Doesn’t help, does it?

Personally, I think we’re all being played by the rich and powerful as they consolidate their wealth and influence. Divide and conquer. We are certainly divided.

So, let’s try our best to remember that we truly are all in this together. We’re all just trying to get by, muddling through as best we can.
