Your New Autocracy

I told you so; and then, later, told you that I previously told you so. I told you so and you looked at me like I was nuts. Instead of throwing your phone away, you wound it around your neck. Now it’s a millstone that uses AI surveillance & tracking to generate networks targeting friends, family, and associates. Well, you screwed the pooch this time, my friends, so I’m playing the world’s smallest violin with my fingernails because:

1. You are still addicted to Facebook, Instagram, and Tik-Tok, the tools of adversarial governments, right?
2. You elected an alien lizard inside a pig suit as your supreme leader.

I am sorry the program is happening faster than we can cope with, but the January 6th House Committee and the classified document espionage in a Florida basement were our legally due processes …and the sitting administration at the time shanked it. America had plenty of time to do it right, but no purpose and no attention span. My violin is so tiny now that not even I can hear it….

Run!

I’ve always had a soft spot for those few individuals smart enough to recognize danger in a second and leap out of the headlights; however, a semi-educated wild-ass guess (SWAG) is that America is about to suddenly get nasty. I hope it isn’t so, but I am worried America is about to take a Game of Thrones turn into cruel insanity …only this time, it’ll just be you and Hodor …or maybe just you! The late St. Leonard Cohen unmasked this nastiness when he wrote “You Want It Darker.” Sadly, half of America wants to step back into darkness.

“There’s your headlight!”
