Just got back from 4 days off. Most striking, laughable things I saw were Larry

Summers spouting off saying the $2,000 relief cash to Americans would be inflationary

even as he and his banker friends are stuffing their pockets full of cash from no other

than the Fed and US Government Largesse to the tune of trillions of dollars while the

people unemployed, homeless or under employed are screwed and told to be happy

with the $600 provided under this relief bill. To hear a banker like Larry Summers complain

about any sizable money to the "plebians" is to know hypocrisy on display and what they

really think about regular people. As George Carlin noted, "They don't care about you!

They don't care about you at ALL! Apparently the Senate and the Congress that provided

the biggest tax gifting to the top 5 percenters and international corporations while mumbling

something about Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid Cuts under their breaths also under

either of twiddle dee President or twiddle dum President doesn't matter take your pick.

As George Carlin also noted, "The next thing they want is your SOCIAL SECURITY, your

SOCIAL SECURITY and they'll get it with cock s_______ friends because they are IN THE CLUB

and you ain't in it! You and I are not in the Club!

So, you want the next neocon shoe attempted to be dropped on the heads of you and me

and the rest of the regular folks around the world. Okay, so Donald Trump is losing all his

recourse to keep the Presidency, so he flies VP Pence and Secretary of State Pompeo to

Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in the Middle East and then suddenly there is this Iranian

Plot in Iraq to hit US positions there and elsewhere. This is after we assassinated Soliemani

in Iraq with a drone and other high ranking Iraqi Officials and then of course the assassination

of the Iranian Nuclear Scientist with a computer operated machine gun in Iran. You then ask

experts on nuclear proliferation about the Iranian situation and they tell you they have the

right to produce uranium for nuclear energy plants as allowed under international law and

the JPOA that Trump dumped in the trash was the next best answer to limiting any Iranian

production of a nuclear weapon but now that we the US dropped out of the agreement we

have no reclaiming a position or authority in the question of Iranian Nuclear enrichment

until we accept we would have to agree to the original terms of the JPOA and probably new

ones from Iran as they don't trust us after sanctions, assassinations and war drum threats

to Iran.

So, President Trump is in his last days as President and low and behold out comes the B-1

Bombers and Iranian Aggression Plot(s)????!!! No way, not credible or believable in any way

because unfortunately for the US the Iranians are not stupid but more so very intellectual and

they will contour away from any aggressive movement for some time because they want their

nation intact and prosperous which won't happen until the JPOA is enjoined once again by the

US and others in conjunction with Iran saying "yes" to the terms and conditions. Now, if you

start a messy dirty little war with Iran right before going out of the Presidency, you leave what

a baby in wet and soiled diapers would leave when he can't have all the toys; just broken destroyed toys and reasons to conduct further war on Iran which is "not" necessarily good

or smart for the US or any other Nations in the Middle East or around the world.

I find it quite interesting to note as well, considering the "content" of some of our other

Middle Eastern "Allies" supposedly so, Iran certainly does not seem as pernicious and

anti human as these other so called Allies we will have to end up defending most pointedly

Saudi Arabia where the predominance of the 9-11 high jackers came from and also where

the Wahabist Movement and Terrorism sprung from and yet we bomb and punish Iran???

That seems really counter productive and just beating a hornets nest so that you end up with

everyone getting stung and hurt when good relations in the Middle East could and will be

done most likely in the next 18 months or so. Israel should work to those proper ends and

prosper fully among it's neighbors as well as resolve the Palastine Issues in mutually beneficial

ways. If you prosper and have prosperity and you find ways to do peaceful coexistence you

end up with more people happy, safe and their Nations seeing their own place in the our

proverbial world together rather than killing each other till the end of time.

President Trump has now left his New Year Bash in Mara Lago Florida for Washington, DC

so all you folks out there better remember to keep these guys in DC in check so we don't

end up in a real dirty, ugly war for nothing in the Middle East; Iran the Targee De Jour!

The 4 horseman have been working behind the scenes of a late; but apparently have been back in forte on center stage across the world this past year... When the greatest financial crisis hits; with the euro-dollar freeze up and all the disfunction of a global economy screwed entirely up by greedy and stupid sinners; the probability of global war will sadly be in our face.

Dehumanizing isn't the way to go. One of the human characteristics is greed. I believe these people are as human as it gets. The goal is to transcend the human urges and live the life of spirit. The system wants us to dehumanize groups so that we justify evil actions. Think of the Germans in the 1930s 1940s. They dehumanized a group to justify homicide. We should lead with love, not hate and anger, derivatives of fear and lack of faith.
