Although it’s only the most recent indictment against the FPA’s fuehrer (FPA = Fascist Party of America = the current Good Ole Piranhas), his invitation to Putin to invade any NATO country that doesn’t pay their membership fees is the most treasonous. “NATO Weighs Isolation after Trump Outburst” was the NY Times’ frontpage article’s title… Continue reading Should Trump be tried for treason?

Is American democracy on its death bed?
There’s every indication that American democracy is definitely ill or even in a hospice. The reasons are complex and possibly insurmountable. Let’s consider some of them: Flaws in the Constitution. Many people in the US nearly worship the “Founding Fathers.” For their time (note the emphasis), they managed to succeed well enough to get past… Continue reading Is American democracy on its death bed?
Some New Year’s resolutions offered for your survival in 2024…
Given that the FPA (the Fascist Party of America aka GOP or the Good Ole Piranhas) will undoubtedly continue to threaten a takeover of the US led by their fuehrer, you-know-who, I thought I’d suggest some New Year’s resolutions so all good people can prepare for the vicious onslaught of the MAGA maniacs. Buy a… Continue reading Some New Year’s resolutions offered for your survival in 2024…
“All politics is local…”
Tip O’Neill’s famous quote applies to many aspects of our current political life in the US. In Connecticut, NJ, and NY state outside NYC, it slaps us in the face as the world’s most famous city (citizens of London, Paris, Rome, and other large cities might object, but they don’t have to live in the… Continue reading “All politics is local…”
A brief summary of key 2023 events: Will the world become fascist in 2024?
One major theme that has appeared from the beginning in this blog has been the rise of fascism in the US and around the world. Rcent events prove that this warning wasn’t alarmist blathering but very real. The war in Ukraine and the border problem. Even people of good faith are forgetting about the danger… Continue reading A brief summary of key 2023 events: Will the world become fascist in 2024?
Double-see from the Good Ole Piranhas…
Double-speak was defined by George Orwell in 1984, that dystopian and depressing novel that so masterfully outlined the dangers of fascism, but historians might have to change the date to 2024 when analyzing the events that turned the US and the world to fascism yet again. The US and several other traditional democracies are definitely… Continue reading Double-see from the Good Ole Piranhas…
Should we share intel with Israel?
This is a rather general question with answers that are often complex and baffling. An ally’s situtation often changes rapidly in our changing world. It’s not enough to say that the enemy of our enemies is our friend. Israel is a case in point: Under Netanyahu, Israel is now more a fascist state than ever… Continue reading Should we share intel with Israel?
More revenge for Victor Jara?
If readers of this blog wonder why I’m so passionately against even the hint of fascism in the US and worldwide, here I provide some of my personal background to explain that. You see, I lived in Colombia for more than a decade. As a professor, scientist, and wannabe writer—now mostly unsuccessful in the latter… Continue reading More revenge for Victor Jara?
Tribalism is another deadly plague…
It’s been around since human beings’ prehistory, and it has killed millions. It has led to some nations (think of them as big tribes) acting as aggressors and their victims egotistically whining that their plight is worse than other victims’ and vowing for revenge. These thoughts came to me when a reporter commented on the… Continue reading Tribalism is another deadly plague…
PGA’s leaders aid and abet murderers…
That MAGA wannabe-fuehrer began the Good Ole Piranhas’ practice of ignoring the murdering Saudis’ evil actions—anyone still have nightmares of that “f&^%ing moron” doing his saber dance in Saudi Arabia?—but others were quick to jump on the bandwagon. It’s all about their oil money, of course, whether it’s for a Trump hotel in the Saudi… Continue reading PGA’s leaders aid and abet murderers…
