Here’s an idea from Tubularsock. Maybe we should look at the facts about all this war crap.
Let’s follow the bouncing ball and see if an intellectual basket can be made.
First bounce: In the United States’ 250 years of existence we have been at war with somebody 229 years. Which as a country we have had ONLY 21 years of our history OUT OF WAR!
OUT OF OUR ENTIRE HISTORY ONLY 21 YEARS AT PEACE!

Second bounce: The merchants of death, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, General Dynamic, Northrup Grumman, to name just a few rely on death and mass destruction in order to maximize revenue and profiteering. THAT IS WHY THEY EXIST!
And by extension if you are an employee of one of these merchants of death YOU TOO are a war criminal!
And by further extension if you are a TAXPAYING CITIZEN you too are a war criminal for supporting your government.
But hey, death and mass destruction is what this country was founded upon! You know, IT IS OUR TRADITION! Just ask the Native Americans / Indigenous Peoples.
The United States NEVER had an honest view about true democracy in our entire history. The wealthy have been in control of the true POWER but the story goes that the people choose their own representatives by “fair and honest” elections.
The humor value of that belief is so outlandish that holding a straight face while saying it aloud is extremely difficult ….. UNLESS YOU ARE PART OF THE POLITICAL CLASS. They are experts in bull shit!
In the U.S. of today we don’t live in a democracy, but rather in an oligarchy. In reality, a 21st Century corporate, technocratic, bio-medical, national security state. And THAT is why the “citizen” HAS NO CONTROL over what is happening to them.
“But we live in a democracy” is ONLY a repeated mantra of ignorance!
Free Throw: POPPYCOCK!
That is what is truly going on here and it would be best that you awaken yourself to the nonsense being perpetrated upon you. Empty talk being used to scare you and keep you off balance.
Have you noticed how the ultimate end of the world Covid has drifted into the end of the world Ukraine? With some free floating balloons to keep you occupied for levity.
The Game being played is to keep YOU occupied so the power elite can keep us all controlled and from Tubularsock’s vantage point it seems to be working rather well.
NOW’S THE TIME to throw the wrenches into the machinery and bring it all tumbling down.
And that will take the “regular” citizen to STOP AND NOT COOPERATE with the system.
JUST SAY NO.
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
Buzzzzzzz!
Games over.
The question is ……… did you win or lose?
Guess it is time to check the score board.
And it sure as hell is not going to matter what happens in 2024!
