Chop logic, cut it down
chop logic, to the ground
cosmos tree, ever grow
cosmos free, God only knows
Free the slaves
liberate the dead
from chains of sin
and words unsaid
A million fake Christs
with nothing to say
trillions of bloody reichs
to crucify each way.
Infinite
crushed opportunity
tramped down one more time, folk lore
in war on poor, truth gives way
Wealth gives way
the rabbit hole wins the day
hot communication wars
farther shore false hopes of pay
Promised poor
Sisyphusan story core
spanning shadows overhead
stone cold dead red peace rates tore
Savings fled
uneven and disrupted
labeled poor even so
nothing solid constructed
Transmission
narrative explanations
sent lies to beat sober times
-doped mime observations.
Mourning’s red clouds arise
after the midnight sun
with a day that breaks
like the powder of a gun
wind arises and no one knows
when small rippling patterns mint
where waves will go
The enjambment of lines
is the sweet breadth of time
with knots to cross rolling seas
four poor sheets to reach shore
On high planet plains
stand summits of mortal refrains
hyper-cubes of gruel
lessons learned for school
Row, row, row your oaths
penitently down a stream
barely, barely, barely note
where it leads is not the joke
Mars is higher than Earth’s
moon low on the horizon cloaked
Jupiter izs higher than Mars
Pluto ‘s summary tension stars
The body belongs to the world
yet mind arises within it
terminal flesh crumbles to pathetic dust
while spirit continues without it.
U.S. Democrats seem to be the primary financially belligerent party of the Ukraine conflict to match Russia. Democrats apparently haven’t a clue about why influential Russians have a disagreeable position to their own, so I will again try to interpret for them, as one would need to interpret verbal speech to the deaf, or sign language to the blind. Presently the U.S. President is piling on war crimes charges against Mr. Putin, so Democrats haven’t yet reached an understanding or deescalating phase regarding the Cold War. They have ramped up eternal recurrence of Cold War, beyond questions of good or evil, evolution is on our side, Putin the brutal bully must go, Russia retreat and transgenderize itself Zarathustran mime-set.
Democrats are so far to the right that Joe Biden’s re-election committee could be expected to use Nuclear War in 24; re-elect the President as a campaign slogan. Apparently President Clinton choose to exploit the weakness of Russia at the end of the Cold War and snatch Ukraine to the west. Russia was effectively without leadership at the time when President Yeltsin of the Soviet Union relinquished Ukraine in a paper with Bill Clinton and British P.M. Major. Because nations and people have longer memories than 30 years, the decision to wrest Ukraine entirely away from Russia wasn’t sound. The problem is that fake patriots seek to avoid peace and prosperity for all unless it’s got through force. Democrats subvert U.S. national interests and call that patriotism because they are not bright enough to form political economy beyond subjective, existential desire.
In my opinion President Reagan was inspired by God to end the Cold War, and following that effort with the withdrawal of Soviet forces from East Germany in December 1989 and the election of President George Bush 1 whom more or less followed up R.R.’s peace policy without exploiting Russia or taking advantage of the circumstance like carpet-bagger politicians would, President Clinton was elected as the pick of media litter bringing hubris and expansion to Wall Street and leftist-corporatist, British causes.
With Mr. Clinton, Russians could bite it , Ukraine belong to the west and American religious cultists burn alive. Thus began a long term Democrat party build up to tighten Ukrainian forces and European hegemony eastward that shattered the Reagan/Bush I policy of peaceful , profitable co-existence with Russia. The business, peace and optimism sense of President Reagan was replaced by treacherous legalists carving out wealth from the body of humanity. Let me make one thing perfectly clear; I am not saying that President Clinton was especially wicked, stole the Ukraine like Molotov for the Kaiser or levered President Yeltsin into submission with the rain of cruise missiles on Serbia. My opinion is that the policy was blunder.
Humans, including politicians I suppose, can blunder. What concerns me is that Democrats doubled and tripled down on the blunder and don’t acknowledge making it, as if they had political Papal infallibility in starting or supporting most wars the United States has engaged in since 1860. The purpose of the U.S. entry into the Serbian conflict was to put out a destabilizing political fire in Europe so post-Cold War peace could develop. I had no idea of the perfidious nature of high-level restructuring of the former Soviet union occurring in 1994 or that the seeds of a future war were being sewn by the west. The effort to reinforce peace and prosperity in one locale was simultaneously being subtly flanked in another by the west’s leadership lusting after low-hanging fruit.
In my opinion a free enterprise oriented Russian ally was best for U.S. national interest. Free societies without over-weaning Orwellian force allow a free marketplace of ideas to flourish and select best political developments, quite unlike that of the United States today. With far right wishes to take everything through force and consolidate wealth and far left wishes to establish a dictatorship of the proletariat, free individualism is repressed in U.S. social media if not extirpated. The far left and right take different roads to arrive at the same destination of authoritarian over legions of mindless, hop-head minions.
The Ukraine was Russian for nearly a thousand years. Then Communists overthrew the Tsar with German helping (ping) Lenin sending him to Russia ab aboard a sealed train, and Lenin gave part of Ukraine to Germany in exchange for an end to the German war on Russia. Later, Stalin retook all of Ukraine in the process of rolling up the Nazis, honorably more or less.
When the Soviet Union ended the Ukraine should have returned to Russia, I guess, would be the conservative point of view. Instead President Yeltsin ended the Soviet Union and with the N.A.T.O. bombardment of Serbia in mind, like Lenin, gave Ukraine away. It went to the west as an independent country when he signed a paper with President Bill Clinton. The foundation of future conflict was cast. Conservative Russians were destined to try to recover their lost ancestral homeland. Now the Democrat Party seeks to make Russia an isolated nuclear power like North Korea, and that is a dangerous alternative line of development to peaceful, free enterprise based cultural integration. The irony is that in filching Ukraine to the west, the profit and stability for the west would be far less than it would have been if the forceful, alienating, belligerent line of development was eschewed.
To build a free Russia working in partnership with Europe and the United States it was necessary that Russian interests in the Ukraine and Crimean Peninsula were respected (they weren’t). Taking the Crimea from Russia was an unthinkable mistake since it was Muscovite's winter and holiday resort more than two-hundred years. If after the collapse of the dollar, national bankruptcy and reorganization, Joe Biden signed an agreement with Justin Trudeau to relinquish Florida to Independence that became flooded with Canadians who sought to join Canada and rename the U.S.A. the Knighthood States of Loyal Minions, would northerners of the Knighthood States be down with that?
When the Russian military recaptured the Crimea the Democrat Party began a deep and lasting regime of sanctions on Russia, developing enmity that emerged as hatred for President Donald Trump’s alleged associations with Russia while Vice-President Biden's son was on a Ukrainian payroll in a job he had no experience paid $10,000 a month. The Democrat party conducted a witch hunt to enfilade the hidden collusion of Russia to elect President Trump that lasted the entire Trump presidency.
Reigniting the Cold War for the modern era seems nearly insane policy the Democrat party and supporting Republicans have taken to heart in outdoing themselves to pile more hate on Russia and supply more weapons to Ukraine. Recent discoveries of potential war crimes victims around Kiev threw more accelerants on the fire of Democrat Party hate of Russia. Politicians ought to wait for actual material and credible evidence through quality, objective investigation for each individual that may have been a victim of particular crimes by particular individuals to form an opinion rather than lump phenomena into a generality of actionable condemnation.
Possible war crimes should be considered impartially after the war, rather than during it when the possibility is used to justify increased investment in supplying weapons of war, unless perhaps, the war crimes are so broad and indisputable that response is necessary to prevent further war crimes. Human nature tends to distribute war crimes equally I would think, rather than to just one side of a conflict. Clean coal and clean war may be pejorative propaganda. It is possible that executed civilians were illegal combatants attacking Russian soldiers without wearing uniforms an d they were given field expedient summary judgment ts with on-the-spot execution of judgment. At any rate, was POTUS guilty of war crimes because of the My Lai massacre directed by one Army Lt? Or was that explained away as a delegation of authority event perpetrated by one officer and subordinates in the AmeriCal division on a Vietnamese village civil populace? Polemics and prejudice join war time propaganda sometimes to malinterpret facts to one side’s political advantage. Truth it is said, is the first casualty of war.
One author of war technicalities whom was required reading at a U.S. military academy (Van Creveld) said that irregular military commit the most war crimes because they are undisciplined and without unit traditions. Ukraine with a large percent of irregular forces and even foreign fighters fits that paradigm rather well, as may some Russian units. Ukrainian forces may have killed suspected Russian sympathizers after capturing and binding their wrists if they were forced to withdraw suddenly under fire. There are any number of possible explanations besides that of Russian forces slaughtering Ukrainians, although that too may have occurred. It is even possible that Isis and Al Qaeda volunteers training in Ukraine killing Russians with U.S. weapons killed a few people for sport before taking their valuable stinger and javelin missiles back to slums in France- who can say. Fitting every thing that occurs into a preferred narrative isn’t the best way to discover the truth of matters.
Trying to interpret the Biden administrations effects upon international order is challenging. Maybe it’s pac-man and bit coin for capitalist concentration of wealth rejecting even free enterprise unless its own by special, unknown insiders. If one could live one-hundred years more to watch the unfolding of history that would be a thread I would follow. As it is, the administration’s choice for a raucous belligerency toward Russian President Putin and most things Russian has flipped a rail switch on the main line of historical development.
Keeping with the phenomenal history of the Democrat Party’s election of homicidal lawyers to the office of President (e.g. Roosevelt, Kennedy, Clinton, Obama), President Biden has been the primary supplier of state-of-the-art weapons of war to Ukrainian pro-western forces in their fight with Russians and is likely to be given due credit for providing the means to kill Russians. That may create some lasting hard feelings toward the U.S.A. in conservative Russia.
President Nixon’s Sect. Of State Henry Kissinger opened the door to China with ping-pong diplomacy during the Vietnam War when Russia and China were not too friendly with Sino-Soviet relations virtually gun-to gun over the Amur River. Vietnam was definitely not pro-China and Soviets supposed weapons and advisers to the North Vietnamese government. Eventually China was drawn into a closer working relationship with American business and that of the west after the end of the Cold War with Soviet-Russia when China in effect stood alone against the capitalist west. President Biden has changed the calculus of China’s need to integrate with capitalism and relation ship with Russia.
President Reagan’s policy of ending the Cold War and normalizing relations with a free Russia miraculous paid off. President Clinton sewed the seeds for future conflict in wrenching Ukraine entirely away from post-Soviet Russia, yet for 20 years after that blunder Russia and China increased free enterprise activities and cooperation with capitalists. Democrats in the White House and even out of it when persecuting President Trump for imaginary collusion with Russia to win the 2016 Presidential elections brought adverse relations with Russia to a fever pitch whenever possible. Russia’s reconquista of Crimea in 2014 solidified Democrat Party hatred of Russia and ‘the dictator’.
The Ukraine war of 2020 brought the maximum degree of sanctions the Biden administration and Europe could impose of Russia, and Russia was left isolated developing toward a North Korean condition from the point of view of Democrats, with the exception of fellow traveler authoritarian nations and unaligned nations like India. While that narrative is obviously quite flawed, it wasn’t certain that a cultural war wasn’t at the heart of the conflict because Russians and Ukrainians could easily have lived together peacefully along a shared Ukraine divided between Russia and the west along the Dnepr River. Fundamentally Russia seemed to be the leading non-conformist to Democrat party and European elite will to force homosexual marriage upon all of the nations of the world and to move toward atheism with evolution doctrine in support that from their viewpoint makes all civil institutions acceptable (even if it did not justify the expropriation of heterosexual marriage unto a bi-sexual nature).
An interesting prospect in light of the total economic war on Russia and developing funding of Ukrainian weapons supplies, military and foreign legion of guest fighters is where it stops with no end game mentioned publicly. Would western forces reaching the Russian border be content to stop at that point, or would success tempt them to pursue the Dictator to the heart of Moscow where presumably he would suicide like Hitler instead of being captured? That is a rosy and dangerous point of view unlikely to actualize as envisioned.Trying to interpret the Biden administrations effects upon international order is challenging.

The basic consequence of the Biden approach to asserting Democrat Party platforms globally is the prospect of a unified Asia and strait economic block to counter that of the older, more prosperous and queering west. Russia forced into a Chinese led economic block will be the primary natural resource supply yard for the Chinese economy allowing China to be far less reliant upon supplies from the west. A unified Russia and China paradoxically drawing India and most of Eurasia into its sphere of trade would be virtually independent of the economy of the older, queering west that would fulfill Toynbee’s paradigm of a repressive minority being supplanted by an external proletariat.
A Russia that supplies resources to China is a strong economic platform itself, without even considering the constellation of other nations such as India, Vietnam and Islamic countries of Asia that would be more neutral yet active trading partners. It is likely that Europeans would continue investing in China though the new Iron Curtain imposed by the west on Russia would preclude direct trade through Russia to China as hyper-loop trading routes are established between Russia and China. The Trans-Pacific trade agreement that fell through would have been an odd bird in light of the events with the west and Russia. China trade would have dropped off at some point as China saw the advantage of forming very close economic ties with Russia- even opening better relations concerning trade with India to make a new golden trade triangle. The U.S.A. has invested heavily in China and China is a major supplier of manufactured goods to the U.S. The U.S.A. cannot easily put harsh ‘secondary’ sanctions on China without damaging its own economy and increasing inflation. For example, the price of an iphone if iApple’s Chinese plants were closed might be doubled in the U.S.A. Americans like to spend a thousand dollars for a telephone the size of an aircraft carrier. At some point China will be able to get on without U.S. participation in its economy rather than vice versa as things are evolving.
The west does have good ties with the elite royals of the Muslim world yet the ordinary Muslim world is likely to be more interested in maintaining and developing ties with rising Asian nations if China form one becomes more tolerant of religious self-determination. An Afghanistan and Pakistan trading with Vietnam, India, Russia and China might even draw in North African rank and file Muslims to the rising Asian trading block. China has the challenge of religious tolerance including that of Islam and Christianity while it builds a Eurasian focused primary trading alliance of strait nations concerned with restoring the environment to health so far as possible while the Biden administration circumstantially is trying to increase global oil supply and arms production and to increase public debt. It is indeed a perplexing future world order that won’t actualize as considered perhaps. Yet it is something to consider while space exploration and development goes on.
California's legislature has considered paying reparations to descendents of former slaves. I wonder if it is a P.R. stunt since California didn't have black slaves before 1863 so dar as I know. It did enslave some native Americans and maybe their ancestors are the intended beneficiaries.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery_in_California
I am fairly sure that California doesn't intent to pay reparations to descendents of all of the millions of slaves of the slave states wheresoever they may be, and providing money to any slave's descendants that migrates to California to live would be generous yet improbable.
Some Democrat party p.r. moves are intended to assure re-election camapigns and federal pork by appealing to constituents. Getting rid of Justice Clarence Thomas seems a present priority as the party would like Pres. Biden to appoint another extreme leftist-corporatist judge to SCOTUS.

The betrayal of peace making that ended the Cold War evolved a corporatist-fascist dream team to the west with everything beside a General Westmoreland to lead its on the spot field work. When Russia let down its guard following President Reagan’s peace overtures and decided to join with the west in a peaceful merger of free enterprise it not only relinquished whatever security there is in communism for ordinary people, it exposed itself to the military power of the west. I believe no one then envisioned a future in thirty years where Russia would be the economic target and political pariah to a corporatist dream team driving history to the precipice of nuclear war in a quest evolve a plutocratic, atheist, queer world order.
The west did work rather well with Russia and the former Soviet Republics until the Clinton administration in some way arranged with President Yeltsin and Prime Minister Major for Russia to give up the Ukraine in 1994. Instead of electing an experienced President in 1994 the U.S.A. elevated a freshman team with experience only in Arkansas and England’s Oxford University where Bill Clinton was an alumnus. That was a team full of itself, British Thermal Units and hubris seizing the day to wrest Ukraine away to the west and build up N.A.T.O. to defend the new state of affairs over time. They saw a weak Russia that needed time to build a free enterprise infrastructure and government. It was a time where Federal Reserve Director Allan Greenspan commented on the ‘irrational exuberance’ of a market that was beginning a great upward expansion investing in the world without Soviet Union to get in its way, with limitless cheap labor and new markets to invest in or exploit. Taking Ukraine without any concern for Russian sentiment was a carpet bagger’s gimme put.
The former Warsaw pact nations were largely flipped to join N.A.T.O. evolving a super-team of militarization to the world such as had never existed before. Rather than developing the world through peace, the former Axis powers, the former Warsaw Pact members, the United States and Britain chose belligerency and non-neutrality to align itself against Russia. What could be taken through pressure and force was preferred to the peace road to social and economic development that appeared to be the way when President Reagan’s request to President Gorbachev to ‘tear down this wall’ was fulfilled. Russia that experienced 20 million dead during the Second world war from the Nazi invasion and Operation Typhoon now faces the prospect of a Super Fascist Team on its borders. Could its leaders trust the west again as in Dec. 1989 and withdraw military forces homeward and let down its guard to try a peaceful approach?
I enjoy considering the state of world civilization and its leading U.S.-Euro branch within Toynbee’s paradigm of historical cycles occasionally. My guess is that if the western branch of world civilization is successful at suborning Russia and then China it will have achieved the climactic universal phase of civilization that is its final phase. Toynbee’s paradigm has an external proletariat merging with internal proletarians and others resentful of the repressive minority (plutocrats and affiliated minions of the west) to subvert and put down the former civilization. Decadence accelerates the fall. Because Russians and Chinese would be added to the global population of those resentful of the United States and Europe, the total could be substantial. If the overthrow was peaceful (however unlikely that might be), perhaps the Eastern branch would dominate the new leadership of world civilization for a time. Picking horses to bet on at that point to win, place, or show is kinda tough.
Russia did use military power to attempt to retake its former homeland Ukraine. The dream team added a constellation of new economic sanctions in response and gave Ukraine a billion dollars of high tech weapons from its vast stockpile of conventional weapons to defrappe the Russian incursion. China was warned not to help Russia yet appeared recalcitrant. Chinese leaders may feel that Russia and Russian natural resources and technical excellence at military equipment and space technology design may be its best chance to survive as an independent nation not subject to the corporatist-plutocratic powers that dominate development of the nominally democratic west.
For some time the United States tried to capture the European natural gas market and get it to dump easy Russian imports via pipeline. The Ukraine war brought Europe to move to comply with future imports of liquefied natural gas from the United States and eschew Russian gas. President Biden can declare a ‘mission accomplished’ for U.S. fossil fuels. The ramifications of the sea change are interesting.
I will consider just a few obvious consequences or ideas concerning the change. Importing natural gas on vast l.n.g. super-tankers from the U.S. will make Europe’s energy far more vulnerable to disruption in any future war or sabotage incident. Myriad new kinds of small, fast hybrid drones carrying a few pounds of shape charges might land on super l.n.g. tankers and detonate themselves and the entire explosives-transporting vessel. Europe in the winter without imported U.S. gas would be in a difficult position, possibly moderated by imports of warm winter clothing from China.
Exporting vast quantities of gas to Europe may drive up the cost of propane in the United States that is already fairly high. Russia may develop pipelines to carry its gas to China providing that nation with a stable long-term source of inexpensive, somewhat clean energy useful for economic output. A good result likely to occur is that with the new source of cheap natural gas China may be able to wean itself off reliance on domestically extracted coal for power plants sooner, and that would help reduce a major source of planetary global warming gases.
