This Time the World

 

 

“THIS TIME THE WORLD”

January 6, 2021 may seem like a long time ago, but it is very much with us today–only the danger is now far worse. It was America back then, is it now…this time the world?

It’s the big lie that never ends.

It’s the bloated arrogance that knows no bounds.

It’s the greed and grift — sanctioned in institutionalized stealing — by the rich and most powerful at the endless expense of the working class, so pervasive and jaw-dropping that they don’t bother trying to hide their theft and corruption anymore.

It’s the disdainful disregard of our own history littered with costly failures and painful tragedies so many times before, here and abroad, which might teach us a valuable lesson if we’d only try and learn — yet we never, never, never, never do.

It’s the selective enforcement of law and order, wrapped in the flag and bull-horned by verses in the Bible, at the cost of truth, science, morality, common decency, and the desecration of human freedom.

It’s placing public trust in the most untrustworthy of all of our citizens, despite all their proven misdeeds and crimes that we no longer find shocking, but now have come to expect, and many willingly accept.

Yes. All of it.

Predicting the Future (2025 to 2050)

 

 

PREDICTING THE FUTURE

In 1999, a vast cross-section of Americans were asked to predict the future. Nearly a thousand who were surveyed revealed what they thought the USA and the rest of the world would be like in the year 2025. Now (actually 26 years later), it’s time for a final grade and the report card. How did they do on their predictions?

We may not realize how much our lives changed in the last quarter century. Back in 1999, the internet was just taking off as a source of information and communication. Smartphones had not yet been invented. Artificial Intelligence (AI) was something robotic in a lab. No one had ever heard of COVID. Donald Trump was only on his second wife–and third bankruptcy. 9-11-01 and 1-6-21 were just numbers. Boston Red Sox still hadn’t won a World Series in 87 years. The Chicago Cubs last championship was 92 years ago. How much did they get right, and where were they wrong?

Review: “A House of Dynamite” (Netflix)

 

 

REVIEW: “A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE” [NETFLIX]

A House of Dynamite is the hottest new show on Netflix. It’s so impactful that some top government officials are now commenting on it. They’re denying its realism mostly — which probably means it’s frighteningly close to being accurate. Yes, it could happen. The movie — and particularly the ending — has triggered a broad spectrum of reactions from political insiders and the general public alike. This isn’t surprising given the deep divide within our nation and the chronic depth of disinformation poisoning healthy discussion and made constructive debate difficult if not impossible.

Directed by the Oscar winner of The Hurt Locker (along with Zero Dark Thirty) the film and story are signature Kathryn Bigelow at her very best, reflecting her own unique brand of style and storytelling. Fast-pacing, jittery camera shots, imperfect angles across paper-stacked desks, awkward pauses and occasional interruptions, and devotion to the tiniest details are Bigelow’s cinematic trademark. Reminiscent of the best film adaptations of Tom Clancy’s novels a generation ago, she’s carrying that legacy and level of authenticity. Bigelow clearly hasn’t lost a step returning to the all-too familiar subject matter of another intense political and military conflict, though this crisis is not played out on battlefields, but rather beneath florescent office lights burrowed in bureaucratic concrete mazes and newsroom-looking situation rooms operating 24/7/365 under the government’s alphabet soup of letter abbreviations.
