I remember when I raised money to help finance a TV political ad that put Jimmy Carter's head juxtaposed inside a mushroom cloud... (there is no image online from that LaRouche campaign commercial. I searched...) One of my co-organizers back then went to a Carter rally and approached him with the charge that he was intending to put David Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission's Zbigniew Brzezinski in his cabinet. Carter answered, "Never heard of him” and promptly autographed a copy of the newspaper she was holding that had a headline charging the same...
We used to call this the Tavistock grin back in those heady days... (you can actually look that one up successfully) There is a breed of quite insane geopoliticians sometimes dubbed the Utopians who believe in pushing nuclear showdown brinksmanship all the way and winning... They owned Carter and they own Grandpa Joe today, even though I think he said he won't press the button recently when asked... (hard to say because he's not quite with it...) In these desperate times, as we sit chatting on Twitter (making sure not to offend the democracy gods) is it time to ask the question, "Is the mask coming off?"
So, all I can say is we need to keep plugging away with the actual non-utopian agenda of getting off the planet soon, extending the human healthspan indefinitely, developing nuclear fusion plasma torch economy and the other hard things not because they are easy... Boom.
Cheers to you, kind readers.
