Dear Karen,

I hope you and the family are well. My family, that is. Because you are still my family and I am yours.

Please share with me what it will take to have some kind of life with all of you? I don’t want to have to get adversarial with you but you have limited my options with your choices and that’s all I have left, is to fight you hard. I have tried to communicate with you and you have failed to meet me halfway, as usual. I’m asking that you search yourself and open yourself up. What will it take for me to be able to communicate with you and the boys and mom once again?

Love,
Ali

I’m mobile.

I just created hourback.info’s own open, public discussion forum for sharing ideas, content, and whatever else you want to share! :-)

Greetings! 🙂

I finally stood up a place where I and others can feel free to share things and discuss without worrying about censorship or stupid, arbitrary community guidelines.

So often I’ve posted things, mostly on social media sites, only to have them taken down because they contained bits of copyrighted content (such as things as minor as background music from a popular musical artist) or other trivialities. I wanted to have at least one place where, to the best of my ability to control, nothing would be taken down for such idiotic and anti-human reasons.

I chose Discourse because it is an extremely well-designed piece of software, very user-friendly, very efficient, and built with solid, open-source technologies.

The site is brand new so I’m still working on it. I haven’t touched the look and feel of it yet. I’m hoping to make it suitable for hosting images, video, and any other kinds of content people want to share on it. Think of it like a Reddit that won’t ever ban you (unless you do something actually stupid). 🙂

More updates to follow soon, hopefully! Enjoy!

Great article about leaving the United States of America and living elsewhere

It’s about putting different parts of your life where they’re treated best. That way, you maximize your personal freedom and financial opportunities.
With that in mind, how would you choose where to live if your political or financial freedom at home were about to be completely snatched away?
Doug Casey: The question is, which of the world’s countries is “best”?

There are a lot of possible answers to that question, and they change over time. When my grandparents left the Old World, there was no question that the US was the best choice. I’m extremely happy they chose to move there and not act like potted plants, rooted to the soil where they were born. (like your grandfather’s old axe by the fireplace with 3 new heads and 5 new handles, it isn’t the same axe) . Paradoxically, it’s simultaneously subdividing into different cultural units. The system itself has become unstable. (there are even more serious reasons to bail, so much more serious, few are willing to stick their neck out to talk about them)

Social Media & the National Security State with Alan MacLeod

https://castbox.fm/vb/571155173

Whitney Webb is a treasure.

This is some scary shit, folks! Critically important information in this podcast. Your minds and the information presented to them are being monkeyed with more than you know. More than I knew at least! And for a lot longer. This isn’t a new thing. This didn’t start with Twitter or Donald Trump. The national security state, the Democratic party, and other powerful interests have been working on training your brains via Internet for decades.

If you’re more preoccupied with Ukraine/Russia than the imminent climate catastrophe then you are fucking retarded.

The United States, being the world’s preeminent empire, is dictating how the world’s resources are being spent, unfortunately. And right now the United States is spending its resources on controlling the world even further rather than saving our ecosystems, our lives, our ability to survive as a species, much less improving things.

If you are distracted by this Ukraine shit then you have been successfully duped by the propaganda machine created by Congressional military industrial complex. Please know that. You are like Neo in The Matrix but you haven’t woken up yet.

Hourback.TV(hosted, for now, at https://www.twitch.tv/hourback) is live now! :-)

For now, you can just see what I’m watching online and hear what I’m listening to, and you get to see me at my new standing desk in my bedroom that I’m renting in a house in Portland, Oregon, USA, with a lot of nice people.

LATER, however, I plan to have more streams of things and will be trying to host my channel (hourback.tv) on my own server, free of this DMCA bullshit. I just need some more benjamins in me bank account and then we can get rolling.

An introduction!

First, you might want to ask yourself what the World Wide Web actually is. If you don’t know then I suggest that you look it up on Wikipedia. It is the greatest invention in communications since that fuck-face Henry Ford started turning human civilization into fascistic trash, a machine whose sole purpose was infinite growth and production and consumption. Well, we’ve done that, and we see how it goes. Now go the fuck to bed, little Nazi.

But anyways . . . ! 🙂 I want to begin this in an illuminating fashion, something that is attractive and pleasant for everyone! Because it is very important that people pay attention to it.

We need to recognize what was accomplished when the Web was devised. And we need to leverage that power. We need to learn that by connecting everyone to everyone else, we become a greater thing. And by that virtue we discover things we hadn’t even thought of discovering.

I’m out of breath now, but I hope that this starts, or continues, a conversation about how important our connectivity is. If we don’t recognize it, we will risk our total demise. We must connect, like it or not, to every living thing around us, if we are to survive this jaunt through the universe.

A very enlightening episode of the Joe Rogan Experience.

Some notable tidbits that caught my attention included . . .

  • Discussion of evolution and rape and the rise of the jock or alpha-male concept as the epitome of sexual reward, at least for white females (my words)
  • . . . I can’t remember other bits right now 🙂

BUT, this all reminds me of Island, by Aldous Huxley, a phenomenal book and arguable guide for human life on Earth. Again, people read the books, or maybe they don’t anymore, that are on the reading list, but they don’t later apply the ideas that they read to their actual lives on Earth. If you aren’t going to apply those ideas to your activities and expectations of life on Earth then why bother reading the books? Just to check a box? People go through our educational system (again, this is a guess because I haven’t been there in a long time and I don’t study the state of the “art”) and fail to apply the meager wisdom and knowledge that intelligent and well-intentioned people managed to wedge into the curriculum and slide past the evangelical idiots who monitor such things. What a waste!!! It is a tragedy. This is how we have neoliberals. This is how we have half-assed voters who think there is a binary system that is bestowed upon us by some agnostic god, a system that we cannot escape from only because we have been trained to fail to imagine a better way forward. Because we have been seduced into thinking that things have been better before, or are great now, so don’t ruin it. But that is a fallacy. Things can get so much better. But you must imagine it first. You must consider it to be a feasible proposition to consider. Otherwise there is nothing but regression. And that’s what we are staring at now.

Fucking knuckleheads.

Violence, if it ever were to need to occur, should only be a response to violence itself. Nothing else justifies it.

Going a step further, the socioeconomic impact of what this victim did to deserve this treatment is vastly surpassed by the damage inflicted by being arrested. In other words, this isn’t something worth arresting someone for.

Quote by Frida Kahlo: “You deserve a lover who wants you disheveled, w…” | Goodreads

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7396830-you-deserve-a-lover-who-wants-you-disheveled-with-everything

What a wonderful, beautiful quote. 🙂 👇

You deserve a lover who wants you disheveled, with everything and all the reasons that wake you up in a haste and the demons that won’t let you sleep. You deserve a lover who makes you feel safe, who can consume this world whole if he walks hand in hand with you; someone who believes that his embraces are a perfect match with your skin. You deserve a lover who wants to dance with you, who goes to paradise every time he looks into your eyes and never gets tired of studying your expressions. You deserve a lover who listens when you sing, who supports you when you feel shame and respects your freedom; who flies with you and isn’t afraid to fall. You deserve a lover who takes away the lies and brings you hope, coffee, and poetry.

Frida Kahlo

By the way, the featured image is of a friend of mine of whom I think when I read this poem; It is not of the author, Frida Kahlo.

Atlas should have done squats instead, Ayn Rand!

In fact, he is about to start anytime now! 🙂 So you had better prepare yo’ self.

Squatting is very important. It is a functional exercise that builds strength and integrity throughout the body. Without the ability to squat, where would we be? On the floor, that’s where!!!

So practice your squats daily and you will reap the benefits immediately. My squatting practice has made a huge difference in the quality of my daily life. In fact, this has led me to buy . . . The Squatty Potty! Yes, indeed! And it is terrific. And it is a wonderful metaphor for how horribly misguided our stupid Victorian ways were, having grotesquely mutated the image of what life should be like for human beings, living on our heavenly planet Earth.

So, enjoy your daily squatting practice and get yourself a Squatty Potty. That is a great habit to keep your mind off of this COVID-19 party we’ve been surprised (not) by.

Live long and prosper,

Ali

Here’s your Joe Biden, you fucking idiots.

I’m not voting for him and I hope you won’t either. Write in the candidate of your choice. Because, clearly, neither party is interested in nominating a candidate worthy of a vote.

Fuck all this.

Apparently things have to really hit rock bottom before enough people wake up. A lot of people have awakened! Obviously! And that’s fantastic! But the dead weight at the other end of the spectrum is still in deep sleep. Well, get ready, because the alarm’s about to go off and you can’t snooze it. 🙂 Go fuck yourself. You’ve held us back for far too long. Enough is enough.

Some important lessons I’ve learned over the last year, during my separation.

At least ninety percent of women are interested in me primarily for my money, and that includes significant others and spouses.

💔🖤😞

[2020-03-11 : This is the part that I updated, below this paragraph. 🙂👍⬇️ -Ali]

And just for the record, I don’t blame women themselves for this. It’s the white male capitalist supremacist system that forces women to regard themselves in this way. Sexuality becomes necessarily a commodity rather than a human dynamic as it should be instead.

However, women could choose to rectify this if they were to feel like it. 🙂 We all have choices in life. You can either go with the flow, right or wrong, or you can do your own thing as an independent, free thinking, reasonable human being. Then it becomes your responsibility to either be part of the solution or part of the problem, as it is with virtually every other situation in life.

Voting isn’t supposed to be strategic. It’s supposed to be reflective of your values.

I’m f****** sick of hearing people talk about their strategies for voting the way that they do. F****** sick of it. That’s not what democracy is about. You look up how the candidates stand on the issues that you care about and then you vote for the candidates that reflect your values. That’s it! Doing anything else is just f****** things up even more. The truth is staring you in the face but you don’t even see it. When Donald Trump gets reelected you’ll get another chance to learn a lesson.

Joe Biden’s non-apology to Anita Hill casts long shadow over 2020 run

Joe Biden’s non-apology to Anita Hill casts long shadow over 2020 run

How willing these idiotic primary voters are to hand over power to this childish fool, Joe Biden. Even after this much exposure his failures and weaknesses keep getting excused and ignored. Well, there really is no use feeling sorry for what people choose to inflict upon themselves, their poor, hapless selves, over and over again. With Trump’s election there seems no logical end to the degree of pain the suffering and ignorant are willing to inflict upon themselves.

But really the blame falls on the socioeconomic system and its philosophy or really the utter lack thereof that allows a democratic electorate to become so ignorant as to their own best interests and how to properly govern themselves as human beings or as a nation.

Speaking your voice and reaching out to your elected representatives seemingly could not be any easier than it is right now. Resistbot is a wonderful tool that allows you to painlessly communicate your thoughts, wishes, complaints, congratulations, anything you care to impart, to your elected representatives as well as other institutions, and it also keeps you informed of other important things you might want to know about as a responsible, conscientious citizen of the United States of America.
