Smoking Mirrors: Up Around the Bending End.

Smoking Mirrors: Up Around the Bending End.

Dog Poet Transmitting…….


I haven’t seen or heard or read any news in 3 weeks; no idea what’s going on out there. There’s no internet here because Telecom is browbeating all applicants for internet service into signing up with them and not responding to calls for service from providers. This is a new trick that’s come around lately and should be a warning to all not to switch your provider unless you have to. It might have been foolish of us to attempt to do this just to get a faster speed and a more comprehensive package but you live and learn or you don’t.

What is irrefutably clear to me at this moment is that the governments of the United States, England and Israel are the greatest looming dangers to the welfare of humanity across this round and still spinning planet. Humanity has always had its enemies. Sometimes it’s been rampaging warlords or a tandem of countries enflamed with nationalism and sometimes it’s been organized religion. Sometimes it’s been all of them and more. Most of the time it’s ignorance, no matter how you dress it up. What ‘was’ is useful for what can be learned from the past but… nothing in the past can ever be as much of a concern as what is contained in the present and what that implies for the future.

Here are some of the things I have learned and here are some of the things I can see in front of me…
