Steal, conceal, and do the unreal - that's how psychopaths operate.
How much of this is actually possible, I'm a little skeptical about.
In the United States, there isn't a democracy. Sure, there are 'elections', but that's really about the rich and powerful picking their middle management for the next couple of years. 'Democrat' and 'Republican' don't have any real meaning to the public otherwise.
They do serve a performative purpose - to maintain the illusion that the US is a democracy.

Hanging out at Saltwater State Park
I'm sure many before have stood or sat and stared out at the water, air, and sky ... and wondered.

Habs to face the Lightning in the 2026 Stanley Cup Finals, Round 1.
They don't have home ice advantage. But then again, I've always thought it's about the performance, not the atmosphere.
I could be proven wrong.

Yes - because honestly Malcolm X was truly ahead of his time. Even today, more than 60+years after this was published, these words are still neither heard, understood, or largely accepted by much of Western nations.

The modern 20th century weapon of neo-imperialism is "dollarism." The Zionists have mastered the science of dollarism: the ability to come posing as a friend and benefactor, bearing gifts and all other forms of economic aid and offers of technical assistance. Thus, the power and influence of Zionist Israel in many of the newly "independent" African nations has fast-become even more unshakeable than that of the 18th-century European colonialists...and this new kind of Zionist colonialism differs only in form and method, but never in motive or objective.
At the close of the 19th century, when European imperialists wisely foresaw that the awakening masses of Africa would not submit to their old method of ruling through force and fear, these ever-scheming imperialists had to create a "new weapon," and to find a "new base" for that weapon.
Dollarism
The number one weapon of 20th-century imperialism is Zionist dollarism, and one of the main bases for this weapon is Zionist Israel. The ever-scheming European imperialists wisely placed Israel where she could geographically divide the Arab world, infiltrate and sow the seed of dissension among African leaders and also divide the Africans against the Asians.
Zionist Israel's occupation of Arab Palestine has forced the Arab world to waste billions of precious dollars on armaments, making it impossible for these newly independent Arab nations to concentrate on strengthening the economies of their countries and elevating the living standard of their people.
And the continued low standard of living in the Arab world has been skillfully used by the Zionist propagandists to make it appear to the Africans that the Arab leaders are not intellectually or technically qualified to lift the living standard of their people...thus, indirectly inducing Africans to turn away from the Arabs and towards the Israelis for teachers and technical assistance.
"They cripple the bird's wing, and then condemn it for not flying as fast as they."

- Guy Lafleur (6 times)
- Steve Shutt
- Pete Mahvolich
- Mats Naslund

What 'ceasefire'?
We've seen this already.
For the psychopaths in the US Empire, 'ceasefire' simply means their opponents stop fighting.
I certainly would like to see this happen.
I do think that given the level and degree of lies and propaganda propagated on the peoples of 'Western' nation-states, the collapse will be rather shocking and astonishing.
Whether a new system - that places the collective and public need over the private and profitable greed - takes it's place ... that remains to be seen.

While a challenge to the Petrodollar, it's should be noted that Iran is fighting back for its own survival.
Up until recently, countries 'fighting' the US Empire are doing so on the US Empire's terms, and for their own existence to continue.
Time will tell what closing the Strait really brings. If there's one thing I've noted, is that the oligopoly that is behind the US Empire have been planning this for a long time. Will there recent mis-steps in Iraq, Afghanistan and funding Israel really affect them here?
We'll find out at some point.

Thank you T-Birds.
It was a tough season for sure. And it was known it'd be an even tougher playoffs.
But grateful for all the hockey. And look forward to seeing many of those players one day in the NHL.
How to bankrupt an empire.
Apparently it goes by the trillions these days -> https://scheerpost.com/2026/04/04/trumps-1-5-trillion-pentagon-budget-will-make-us-weaker/
$1.5 Trillion Pentagon Budget
Nice - for the weapons companies. Terrible for everyone else.

Speaking of cruel and humorless jokes, here's one perpetuated by pretty much the same rich powerful.
This time, it's on the American people directly.
The cruel ongoing April Fool's Joke, perpetuated on pretty much all non-white people, is the illusion of democracy the American rich and powerful perpetuate on everyone via crapitalism.
Whether it's called white supremacy, Manifest Destiny, American Exceptionalism/Innocence, it doesn't really matter.
