Astroturfed Outrage

Dear Friends, It seems to me, most outrage today is pure Astroturf to maintain and advance a narrative. How could I say such a thing? While real outrages and atrocities go on unnoticed, minor outrages are elevated to world-threatening. For … Continue reading

Dear Friends, Blind hate requires no logic,Progressives make lives tragic,Gaslight on the go,Hoping it were so,And only think in ways demagogic. A Democrat is a foul mouthed cad,Saying anything they hate is bad,Attacking unfairness,Without self awareness,And their blind hatred makes … Continue reading

Grassroots Versus Astro Turf

Dear Friends, It seems to me we live in an AstroTurfed world. Nothing we see is organic. Everything we are allowed to see is fabricated to form and protect a narrative to enable the extraction to continue. When social media … Continue reading

Dear Friends, Don’t listen to logic believe them instead,They were amazed he wound up dead,Suicide he did commit,And you only believe it,If there’s something wrong in your head. Questions arise that we just can’t abide,A changing story makes the eyes … Continue reading

Failure Is A Feature

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the elite are reduced to arguing they’re stupid, not malevolent. How else can they frame their policy failures? I’m sure in their minds, the fault lies entirely with some janitor working third shift… and … Continue reading

Dear Friends,   The elite say my speech is sacrosanct, But your opinion must be down ranked, When truth they face, They call place, And spin around because they’re outflanked.   Merz Starmer and Macron do quite well, Ever with … Continue reading

Distraction as a Strategy

Dear Friends, It seems to me, often the best way to hide something in plain sight, is to expose something eye catching that will draw everyone’s attention. Then the offending story can be memory-holed. I don’t know how often this … Continue reading
