This is my first non-philosophical post. It will not become my habit to post about current political reality, but this time I just feel the desire to do so. I will be brief.
The political stooges of the so-called "left" now nervously circle one another, eyes peeled for the right opportunity to turn cannibal.
I bet not a single one of them thought they'd be facing this possibility the moment they made their turn toward treachery. And yet, it would appear that here they now stand, wondering whether it will be to their distinct advantage during sentencing to have those in whose hands justice rests, know that they were the first to do the "right" thing. The conundrum must be crushing for them.
Consider the media on the one hand, that seem to be suggesting that the first man to turn on the rest with vital testimony will enjoy punishments far reduced in comparison with the rest, or may even enjoy immunity from prosecution - the proverbial get-out-of-jail-free card.
On the other hand, there is little doubt that the likes of Clinton, or whoever it is that is the liaison between them and the real power, the veiled power, is shrieking at them to hang together in the spirit of not hanging separately.
I cannot imagine that these people are sleeping particularly well these days with such possibilities and storming uncertainty sloshing around in their mostly empty skulls.
On the one hand, the mind reels at the prospect that America may be taking a step backwards in the direction of a state that might actually bespeak some hints of freedom. On the other, there rises the spectre of just another cult going wildly wrong in the vein we remember as a Soviet Union or Red China.
Where politics are concerned, seemingly good things can turn very bad in a heartbeat. Therefore, decide on what it is you want in terms of freedom and make sure you are heard, no matter the cost.
Be well, thanks for reading, and as always, please accept my best wishes.
