The End...of America?
All the children are insane
Apologies
I promised the Special Report last Friday, then Saturday, then today-- Sunday – which was reserved for the final proofreading and sending.
When I proofread yesterday's draft today, I found myself revising a lot. A week and 1/2 ago, the essay was was over 7000 words and I cut it down to 6000 for logical continuity and readability.
Proofreading today, however, I noticed more discontinuities. the usual dyslexic errors and things I still had to explain more clearly.
I have done a lot of reading and researching for this article-- including academic articles and books from of different points of view--but somehow connected, some n odd ways, like the Doors’ “ The End”. Evolutionary economics anyone? Neuroscience?
My materials included recommendations from others such as the excellent Karl Sanchez (visit his site!) who put me onto Arno Mayer (Why Did the Heavens Not Darken?, 1988) which you should read.
So many people have helped me in this way. Thank you all. “I get by with a little help from my friends.” (Beatles) . I am grateful to all those people out there who read and think and feel.
I'm an Aging Autist—78 in a couple of seeks—and I cannot resist making connections. "Lateral thinking" ?"Heterarchical cognition? Just raging against the dying of the light. Whatever.

What I am writing about is a civilizational shift. It happens every century and a half in the Western World. (Below Giovanni Arrighi)
And such a shift is happening right now. It’s symptoms — American national schizophrenia. Donald Trump. Joe Biden. Kamala Harris.
Yes, as the Doors say, “the children are all insane.”
And there is an “End”.
It is not “If” but “when” .
Putting it all together I search for clarity, reason in an unreasonable universe.
But that is no excuse — my apologies for keeping you waiting. I hope you will find the article is worth the wait.
Thanks
Many thanks to all those who responded yesterday and bought coffees. I am updating the list. All thanks to all those who sent messages. I will try to respond to you all individually.
When I attempt something difficult like I am doing now, I often doubt myself. You help a LOT!
Chappy Days
Chappy is still undergoing treatment for tape worms. So…it will be a while. This is Chappy after rescue and is operation to fix is broken hip.
And today….!!!
He’s a lovely boy. Very gentle, very sweet. But very shy. And he hates going to the doctor (don’t you?).
Oh, my....! I clicked on the music, and the Doors led me back SO many decades, to my wild youth, and I danced and sang along in the kitchen, with my dogs looking ....skeptical? bemused? worried? I thank you, and will read the article in the morning.
When I encounter Beatles, & Doors references within pieces written to inform readers thirsty for the truth of stories, events, & facts the MSM would prefer no one hears, I wonder how aware folks are of that such were actually operations of military intelligence groups? admiral george stephen morrison was undeniably deep in the gulf of tonkin operations inside navy intelligence, and that was after his sketchy stint in filming the completely shocking and unforeseeable attack on pearl harbor 1941. His son knowingly or not made a fantastic tool to disrupt and shape a few generations, debilitating chances of anyone interfering with the global cabal's plans. No criticism sir, everyone should listen to what they like. Fans of both Medhurst & herr starmer should get their unfiltered fill. I do enjoy your recaps and articles. Blessings.
