The Native Iowan

In one week we will be, The USofA will be, shaking like a dawg shitting razor blades.

Or such is my prediction.

I know I don’t use a “soft” analogy, but the idea of the contractions and convulsions and confusion that will taking place in one week… A dawg shitting razor blades may well be appropriate.

I heard this saying from a rather irreverent Aussie friend many, many years ago. We were discussing a bout of malaria, said friend, had gone through. His description of the shakes that rack you, the fever fed chills, that terrible, bone aching, jaw clenching shivering that one finds in malarial delirium’s… “Shaking Like A Dawg Shitting RAZOR BLADES” was apt then, and applies well now.

It’s Wednesday morning here. We’ve had some very good rains over the past few days. The earth is hapi, the air is clean, flora and fauna are bursting into a promising summer.

I listen to the hype and hysteria taking place in the USofA… I feel the pointy-end of disapproval of people I hold dear, as they loose their mind over the general bullshit of it all. The hysterical response(s) are sad, undignified, and programmed. All part of the old-divide-and-rule tactics. Create a Boogie-Man big enough to keep the masses occupied so the Elites can do as they wish. Squash all dissenting verbiage.

One thing I can say “thank you” to the Trump- Administration for… the clear exposure of the crass, blatant, uncaring double standards of the Elite v The Masses. Yet the electorate is blind, too blind to see, see through the smoke and mirrors.

For fuck’s-sake folks… you really think A Politician can go Socialist, offer free everything, remove our conventional sources of energy without sound substitutes… and not tax you to death? Not confiscate all and everything you call your-own, redistribute it publicly, keeping the very best for themselves.?? You really think that socialism as a system that can actually work for you? After over 100years of testing, with zero success, you believe, still, that Socialism has a chance in hell of being a replacement that you would vote-in, because its a better system than the one we have????

The checks and balances as developed by the Original Framers have stood many tests. the SCOTUS, the Electoral College, The Presidency itself… I have implicit faith in the system, in the Constitution… but not the Electorate.

The Electorate has gotten lazy. They have forgotten how to think for themselves. Even with all the information the world possesses in the palm of their hand, they consume pulp and expel ignorance in a collective sense. The Orwellian echo chamber of mutually held falsehoods creates a hollow man.

Side line… My serial immigration habits have once again been successful. Grace and I recently received our Permanent Residence here in Aus. In 12 months we will be eligible to claim citizenship. It took almost a decade, cost huge money, and is insanely valuable. As the world changes, as the old standards are upset, as boarders fall and refugees and carpet baggers alike clamour for safe haven… I’m very pleased, very proud to be able to claim that I am now permanently an Aussie.

And the beat goez on…

big smilez all around
