Thursday May 1, 2025 morning

I can understand why someone would want tariffs to incentivize manufacturing to return to America.

Project 2025 was not a plan to do this, it was a plan to wreck America and turn power over to corporations that used to be government for the common good.

incentivize manufacturing to return to America.

There are so many fundamental social issues with this ambition. It's a parrot talking point, repeated about "making things they way they used to be in the 1950's" when we had a huge surge of growth and good-will at the end of World War Two. Soldiers returned, eager to start families - were all treated as heroes / good will abounds in 1950's America, all the manufacturing that has been serving the world war was now able to reset and start new product lines.

People are not living in reality, they are living in Rupert Murdoch Wealth Televangelism alternate-reality and 5,000 patterns of alternate reality screen games that Cambridge Analytica deployed on everyone since March 2013.

America has earned no good will like it did after World War Two (there was some good will with Ukraine, but that's already purged). All the things I have seen going on with Project 2025 are anti-good will, anti-goodness itself.

Like the clergy in the USA, everything is being interpreted ass-backwards. Hate thy Christian neighbors in Mexico, complete inversion of Bible verse '1 John 4:20", ass backwards!

I'm much more of an auditory learner and I'm wondering if anyone knows of any videos or online courses that may help me absorb and appreciate the text [Finnegans Wake]

I'm much more of an auditory learner

 

“The ear favours no particular “point of view.” We are enveloped by sound.

It forms a seamless web around us.

We say, “Music shall fill the air.” We never say, “Music shall fill a particular segment of the air.”We hear sounds from everywhere, without ever having to focus.

Sounds come from “above,” from “below,” from in “front” of us, from “behind” us, from our “right,” from our “left.”

We can‘t shut out sound automatically.

We simply are not equipped with earlids.

Where a visual space is an organised continuum of a uniformed connected kind, the ear world is a world of simultaneous relationships.” ― Marshall McLuhan, The Medium is the Massage, March 1967

 

“Joyce is, in the Wake, making his own Altamira cave drawings of the entire history of the human mind, in terms of its basic gestures and postures during all the phases of human culture and technology. As his title indicates, he saw that the wake of human progress can disappear again into the night of sacral or auditory man. The Finn cycle of tribal institutions can return in the electric age, but if again, then let’s make it a wake or awake or both. Joyce could see no advantage in our remaining locked up in each cultural cycle as in a trance or dream. He discovered the means of living simultaneously in all cultural modes while quite conscious.” - “The Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects” by media analyst Marshall McLuhan and graphic designer Quentin Fiore, and coordinated by Jerome Agel. It was published in March 1967

”I sekler har imperialistiska makter av olika kulörer kommit undan med politisk indoktrinering. Fallet Ukraina kan bli ett prejudikat för att sätta stopp för den – och för att försäkra oss om att imperialister inte längre har straffrihet i Europa.”

I will try to KEEP REPEATING: Donald Trump was ousted for 4 years, we already got rid of Donald Trump. Now JD Vance is lined up. The crisis runs far deeper into "Manchurian Population" - the whole society, Russian information warfare, not only one man.

The entire population is unable to comprehend and follow ideas more complex than Twitter-thinking Tweet-length responses to the crisis. People in April 2025 USA are behaving as if they can't even recall February 2025, let alone that Donald Trump was VOTED OUT OF OFFICE for four entire years... the problem is the population itself, everyone, even people too young to legally vote.

Donald Trump is leader of the free world, the western world. Donald Trump sells $59.99 Holy Bible from the Levant.

All the clergy in USA is not preaching "love thy enemy", "forgiveness", goodness at all. That is what happened in 1935 Nazi Germany, the preachers were preaching "hate the Jewish" and "hate non-believers" and doing the worst possible interpretation of that imported Levant storybook!

If someone DID write "MS13" on their skin, and then later said it was a mistake, an error, that's exactly what Bible verse Luke 15:4-7 and Matthew 18:12-14 cover! Reform. Not permanent torture in prison. Donald Trump has a serious literacy problem, and so does our USA Christian clergy. If someone DID write "MS13" on their skin, you give them REMEDIAL MORALITY lessons, you don't send them off to a gulag prison death camp!

If Donald Trump and the Christian Clergy can't comprehend and read a 2,000 year old Holy Bible story book correctly, how do you expect them to read / understand / comprehend ANYTHING correctly? They think The Bible is non-fiction, we have 2,000 years of language teachers, and they think it is NON-FICTION!

GREASE (FRANKIE VALLI) (1978) - MOVIE OPENING

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA-xjRsY71w

This is a life of illusion
Wrapped up in trouble
Laced with confusion
What are we doing here? April 30, 2025?

We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believing now that we can be who we are (be who we are)
