I can’t believe I’m linking to The Atlantic. Did someone let a dog out of its cage?

There is so much novel wisdom in this! This speaker puts so well what has been rumbling around in my head for the last few years, spurred on by my marooning in Mississippi, my exile from my family, and then COVID. Definitely worth listening to.
JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass – Wikipedia
I plan on streaming this and Django Unchained on hourback.tv ad nauseam when I finally get things going again.
Just the first 10 or 15 minutes of this film is enough to wake up the viewer. Every single person who casts a vote in this country should be forced to watch this and weigh in with an opinion. Unfortunately, simply viewing something doesn’t demonstrate the viewer’s capacity or will to accept it as discernible fact.
How do you feel living in a country where your government executes people who want to create a better society for everybody, and not just old, rich, white people? Are you foolish enough to think that this wouldn’t happen again today? It happened to Bernie Sanders. It happened to Julian Assange. It happened to Edward Snowden. People who tell the truth and want to improve things in this country are apparently considered to be expendable and a vulnerability, in fact.
And Barack Obama is probably the anti Kennedy. What a failure and complete corruption of a person he is and exemplifies. It’s all smiles and glimmer. No depth, no truth, no justice. What a fucking shame. I think we’re still waiting for our first black president.
Watching this one again: Edward Snowden on Joe Rogan Experience
This is a must-watch, folks. Before you close the book on Edward Snowden, you should watch this.
I feel horribly about Julian Assange, though. He’s fucked, man. A case of someone telling the truth about something and getting tortured for it, might be assassinated for it, by the nation that supposedly champions freedom of the press and all that shit. What hypocrisy. There should be no secrets, basically. But that is not the case. The actual machinations of the USA, Inc. are shielded from all eyes by default, because the corporate masters would stand to lose greatly should their actual motivations be revealed.
Democrats = Pussy Party
These politicians are fearful and craving and should be dismissed immediately. Pay no attention to them. They mean nothing and say nothing meaningful. You are being duped by them every time you listen to them when they open their mouths.
