Are We Approaching Armageddon?

 

Armageddon is where the final battle will be fought between the forces of good and evil. There have just been two earthquakes in Turkey/Syria of a magnitude 7.8 on February 6, and now a 6.4. Today's count is 47,000 lives lost. And just today in Sao Paulo, Brazil, heavy rain caused flooding and landslides on the northern coast of Brazil’s Sao Paulo state. 2022 was full of natural disasters...

• UNDERSEA VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN
• PAKISTAN FLOODS KILL MORE THAN 1,700 PEOPLE
• MASS WILDFIRES IN CALIFORNIA
• EAST COAST STORM LEAVES 100,000 WITHOUT POWER, AT LEAST 3 DEAD
• MAUNA LOA VOLCANO ERUPTION
• EARTHQUAKE IN AFGHANISTAN KILLS AT LEAST 1,036

Is a higher power trying to tell us something? Or has the world population so screwed up the environment that payback time has finally come. It is a tragedy what we are leaving for our children and grandchildren; basically a climactic mess. And in this country at least, there is a fight between liberals and conservative as to whether there is really a problem. The liberals are losing the fight to preserve our environment to conservatives who only consider the profit angle.

There is no way to know where this is all going when politics are constantly inserted into the equation. I won't be around to see the outcome, and I wouldn't want to be if it continues in the current direction, but I wonder when it all comes to an end, will the culprits own up and say they are sorry. Probably not.

Fox News A "Dishonest Organization"

 

CNN continues from the above headline in its analysis to determine Fox is "terrified of its own audience." And rightfully they should be since it is a congregation of morons who let dimwits like Tucker Carlson poison their minds. And urge them to vote for maniacs like Donald Trump, continuing to support his 2020 election into 2022. There's a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit by Dominion against Fox and as I said earlier on Twitter and Facebook...

'Maybe it will put them (Fox) out of business and eliminate a gargantuan source of misinformation..

Here's the scenario from CNN...

"A trove of newly-released text messages and emails have laid bare how the right-wing media giant operated with little regard for fact in the weeks and months following the 2020 presidential election. The correspondence reveals that the network’s senior-most executives and highest-profile hosts chose not to disclose what they believed to be the truth of the election out of fear that that the facts would alienate Fox News’ audience and throw the highly profitable business into ruin."

This video exposes what we thought we knew: Expert on Dominion v. Fox $1.6 billion defamation suit...

Here is confirmation of that from a piece in a RawStory headline: "Fox News got election fraud info from woman who claims she got it through 'time travel."' It's in the Dominion lawsuit against Fox in a segment,,,

"highlighted between pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell and Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, who was communicating with her and amplifying her message on her program."

The Daily Beast says...

An unsealed brief as part of Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation suit showed Fox News bigwigs criticizing Donald Trump’s Big Lie, all while advancing his B.S. “stolen election” conspiracy theory on air (and simultaneously trying to punish a Fox News fact checker for reporting the truth).

RawStory reports...

"a former high-ranking Department of Justice official claimed the conservative network can expect to lose big in the lawsuit filed against it by Dominion Voting Systems."

What is worse, a legal analyst for MSNBC says, "the network won't have a leg to stand on as they attempt to fend off the billion-dollar lawsuit." With all the problems Fox News has caused in the Covid pandemic and their gross misinformation in the 2020 election denial, their downfall can't come soon enough.

Florida's Book Banning Is Frightening

 

I've played the 1984 hand re. Florida's fascist Gov. Ron DeSantis so many times now, I wonder if George Orwell would agree that DeSantis as Big Brother is in the same realm as the one in his novel? All that's missing in Florida are Orwell's characters like Winston Smith, O'Brien and Julia, to mention a few. If you've read 1984, you know the secrecy that Winston and Julia had to maintain just to survive. DeSantis' constituents are also under the gun of a tyrant determined to devastate their state.

Florida librarian Keri Clark loves working with children and books, but that changed last month...

"The library is now closed off, the shelves are empty, and her job now mostly consists of “vetting” piles of books to comply with new censorship laws implemented by the state of Florida.

“The books are sitting out on tables, they’re being boxed up and discarded,” Ms Clark tells The Independent. “It’s just it’s a really sad sight. A lot of the kids keep looking through the window and it’s just it’s awful that I can’t let them come in and get books.”

Here are just some of the titles that have been banned by DeSantis and his minions...

Toni Morrison’s ‘The Bluest Eye,’ ‘The Kite Runner’ by Khaled Hosseini, ‘The Stranger’ by Albert Camus, ‘Revolting Rhymes’ by Roald Dahl, and a skateboarding magazine called ‘Thrasher’.

My opinion is that, not only would George Orwell agree that Ron DeSantis is at least as egregious a Big Brother as the one in 1984, the author would admit he could take some lessons from DeSantis.

Florida GOP Passes Legislation To Intimidate Voters

 

You know what voters; liberal and Black. About 10 days ago "the Republican-led Florida Legislature [passed] another voter suppression bill that far-right Gov. Ron DeSantis, a likely GOP presidential candidate for 2024, is expected to sign into law." Here's the scenario...

"The legislation seeks to expand the authority of the Office of Statewide Prosecution (OSP) to pursue charges for alleged election-related crimes. The OSP reports to Republican Attorney General Ashley Moody, a close ally of DeSantis."

A coalition of voting rights groups, including NAACP Florida, ACLU of Florida, Common Cause Florida, and the Brennan Center for Justice, is fighting the law, which is clearly the product of a Ron DeSantis dictatorial government. But the coalition says...

"This proposal is a solution in search of a problem," the coalition said. "There is no legitimate need to waste taxpayer dollars and state resources by expanding the Office of Statewide Prosecution for these purposes. This bill is being heard and swiftly passed only because the governor desires to expand his prosecutorial authority over Floridians who are lawfully trying to exercise their right to vote."

The question is how long will this fascist get away with this subjugation?

Election Deniers Taking Heat From States Nationwide

 

Two states with past problems with rebellious election deniers, Arizona and North Carolina, are moving to stop those who seek to defy democracy. The action is progressing nationwide...

And later this [past] week, a group of secretaries of state [showcased] a “Democracy Playbook” that includes stronger protections for election workers and penalties for those who spread misinformation.

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D), said, “We want to protect the people who protect democracy.” She added, “Clearly the laws on the books are not serving as a sufficient deterrent.” Clearly, Benson, and other secretaries of state throughout the country will have to put the brakes on Republican deniers to insure future elections are not interrupted.

Animals Abandoned Becoming A Crisis

 

How could anyone just abandon their pet on a street curb, even if they left food? Close to a car wash that had been feeding her and even after sleeping almost non-stop for two days, she was still so tired from waiting when a rescue came to help. This is not only spreading nationwide, but is also becoming more prevalent in the media, publicity which animal lovers are thankful for. It's beyond shaming those who give up their animals; we need a national fix.

Some time ago I posted on Twitter and Facebook that it would be great if some millionaires/billionaires would step up and fund a huge animal sanctuary centrally located where these deserted animals could go. They could coordinate with Pilots N Paws, an organization that flies pets to locations where they are wanted. This would be a great move by those with means and help a lot of animals that have lost their forever homes.     THINK ABOUT IT!       READ MORE...

Kari Lake Turns On DeSantis

 

Most Arizona voters have gotten over Kari Lake and just want her to go away. I am one of those, but, and this is a huge BUT. Daily Beast says she...

"once fawned over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for having the “BDE [Big Dick Energy] that we want all of our leaders to have,” is now spreading conspiracy theories about the Republican darling."

We need a good liberal strategist, like James Carville, to put together a blueprint to wreck DeSantis' drive to the White House in 2024 and send him back to Florida where he can continue to ravage that state.
