It’s been many years now since I used to attend the Saturday Matinee at the Essaldo in Reddish or the Savoy Cinema in Heaton Moor to watch the Lone Ranger and Tonto or The Three Stooges. One thing that stands out from those days is that the Baddies always wore Black Hats. Perhaps the most noticeable change is that Red Hats now predominate.
The Bad Guys were usually led by a Bully, just as likely to turn on his own men as on the opposition. I don’t really see much of a change there. Why are the lunatics of the Current U.S. Government afraid to voice their opposition to their leader of the actions he’s taken which impoverishes his own people and puts them at such risk. Are the rewards for being party to this betrayal of so many people so great? Too good to give up? There will be an accounting one day and a lot of politicians or ex politicians are going to find it’s payback time. Possibly even prison time in some futures.
Apart from the current likelihood of a new World War boiling over from the Middle East conflict President Trumpelstein has engineered, there will be NO United Nations anymore to give the other side pause to worry. In fact What is the Other Side with Trump cosying up to Putin, Natanyahu and other Stromg Men leaders. Plus, with oil prices shooting up, transport costs will increase the price of lmost everything and most Americans could struggle to survive, The only ones who will likely eat are the armed forces who may be called into battle ON THE GROUND AT Any time. DespiteTrump’s assurances that Iran’s forces are crushed They still seem to be able to send bombs and drones into neighbouring countries. Now we hear that Trump wants to treat as traitor any newsperson who critices his regime. With somany Newspapers now owned byTrump supporters he says only his News is real.PLEASE BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THAT’S NOT SO. Thereare many smaller INDEPENDENT NEWS SOURCES WHO WRITE THE TRUTH.Many like Heather Cox Richardson whonot only brings news but also puts it into context of past actions by U.S.Governments.
I see tht India are now striking poses in support of China.One of the Big Three in this pissing contest,and that could help them fulfill some of their territorial gains with some opponents occupied elsewhere.The World may not be an ideal place with so many countries having fingers in other pies but at least a relative peace has held since WW11 under the auspices of previous U.S.governments. With Trump deliberately trying to break up the Old Alliances and Clinging to Putin’s Russia for help and advice the old alliances will disappear and make it every man for himself.
is this really going to be the time of the Black Hats, where American youth is sent off to fight proxy wars and leave many grieving American parents? Though I doubt many of thise servving will be the children of the Autocrats, The Oligrchs will want their next generation to take their places. None ofTrumps children have served in the forces, nor are ever likely to do so.They’re more likely to supervise weapon production to further enrich their father who no doubt gets hafty feees for contracts given out to those who are only instrumental in creating more death and destruction to create more wealth
if it’s at all possible at this stage the good people of this land mustimpeach Trump and get rid of all the backing he has from corrupt billionaires like Elon Musk, then they must create a new Government of those who would Jaw Jaw instead of War War. The White Hats must be returned to Government and all money removed from it. American and the World’s children can get back to playing and learning about how a Democratic Government can go back to helping create peace in the World. The MID TERM ELECTIONS are this year and The Republican Party must be crushed. Every vote will count and must be made. The White Hats Must Rule Again with the care of the people in mind. Maybe it’s even time for a Universal Heath Care System to be brought in with drugs at better prices for patients not decided by a money centric group of Insurance Companies.
I don’t want a new World War where my children/grandchildren are at risk. I want a world where they can experience some of the choices I had in the aftermath of the last war. I’d like to see a World where the armaments manufacturers make plough shares instead, but at least don’t put profit before patriotism and where we return to looking after the planet and each other because we care.
HUGS TO ALL MY READERS OF THESE SPORADIC SOUNDINGS. I apologise that my health and mental wellbeing keep me from the keyboard so often.But, I wish you {and me}all well and a saner White Hat future. Your Friend David of the Buthidars.
