QUEUE HERE. SYSYPHUS, QUE OF CUES, CUE QUE, COUP DE QUE.
Sisyphus pushed his boulder,
The path smooth both ways
The same incline repeated
Parmenides like determination.
—
Prometheus chained over the hill
Willing that Sisyphus may succeed
panta rhei, alike to his own flame.
Both legends for deaf ears.
—
Heraclitus his ebb and flow
Crying metaphors to deaf masses
Sobbing similes to Blind tyranny
Calvary the summit to that bluff.
—
Maimonides saw each contradiction
Each species of deafness, Loud
Each species of blindness, Dark
All no less perplexed than the next.
—
Yet another Sisyphus rolls
Yet another Prometheus reveals
Yet another Heraclitus cry’s
Yet another Maimonides interprets
—-
Ancient and modern queuing
Missed cues and repeated lines
A dialogue of the divine comedy
Stockaded in linguistic prison walls.
—-
Plus ca change plus ca meme chose.

Don’t Give Up, “The Passion for freedom dieth not”.
I am fed up with self-censoring and decided to place all of my historic online content into the public domain.
I am a hard-working honest and loyal person, I love My Family my friends, and both my Motherland Wales, and my adopted home of Sweden. I am deeply concerned about the current stagnation of both Democracy and the Economy. The current situation is intolerable and inexcusable.
My Grubstreet in Exile blog is my last digital hoorah. The solution to our Digital Enslavement is an Analog in real-life knees up.
So when the computer says no just remember who the boss is and Get on with doing good no one needs to ask permission to do that let alone the Panopticon Jailer Bot Algorithm which we have all been diligently training for the last 25 years since the Dot Com bubble was burst ( probably on purpose to assist with the hideous centralisation we see on the web today.
I am available to do consultancy work through both RLD and Home@ix my day rate is £500 per day. I am happy to do desktop appraisals and viability studies on development ideas that anyone wants a high-level and quick assessment of. Meanwhile, I have some houses to build, affordable ones at that. "Where there is a will there is a way. The current stagnation points clearly to a lack of Will there are certainly plenty of ways and means.

2020 Prognostication and the End of this Blog
Below I enumerate the reasons we will be unable to effectuate meaningful political and social change in America and why I have decided this blog is pointless.
1. The wars will continue. No political solution is possible. The people are now inured to war. It is not an issue for most Americans. The media does not report the cause and effect of war in a truthful manner. If the wars are to be fought by the invisible poor and the flag-draped coffins arriving at Dover airbase are not shown—to say nothing of videos and photos of uncounted innocents killed by the US government—then most people simply don’t care. They are not motivated to do much of anything about the situation. In this way, they are analogous to the citizens of Nazi Germany.
Hi Kurt,
I feel your frustration. The Darkest Hour though they say is just before the Dawn.
I live in Sweden, down south , so not quite Dark all Day round but this part of winter is certainly the Worst part with minimal hours of daylight and the real snow and ice yet to hit.
Your numbers may be small reader wise but your influence as you note is leveraged through re-posts , a dialogue even though limited in what we perceive is I think much more widely influenced in the days of the Cloud this is literally true . As a Christian/Jew for Jesus, I think the power of prayer is even greater than the Digital Cloud and and a community at prayer is I also believe more than capable of moving the actions of mankind in positive directions.
John F Kennedy told the story of Leonidas at Thermopylae.
“For legend has it that after the bloody battle of Thermopylae, the victor Xerxes prepared to spread a purple cloak over the body of his vanquished enemy Leonidas, out of admiration for his valor. But as he was about to lower the cloak, a strange voice out of nowhere called out: “No. Take that cloak from me. I will accept no favor from the Persians.” And Xerxes knew that it was Leonidas, speaking to him from the other world. And he called out into space: “But thou art dead, Leonidas. Why hate the Persians even in death?” And, according to the legend, back came the stirring reply: “The passion for freedom dieth not.”
I am a Welshman, a Brit, and have lived in Sweden for 10 years this April. I have not visited the States for over 20 Years but spent a fair amount of time traveling there in the early and Late ’90s, as a British Army Brat I have also had quite a lot of US forces kids as Friends, SHAPE, Upper Heyford, Ramstein etc. On the Whole, we are greater than the sum of our parts and certainly much greater than the sum of the parts of the Tail that wags the Dog. I know a Generous and Pragmatic United States of America, an optimistic and confident, just United States of America. My Old Friend America seems to have fielded the wrong team abroad but the best Team, the first Team, the A team is still there amongst the Ranks of United States Citizens, those who Serve and Have served, and those who have always been Civilians.
I am aware Kurt that this message will likely be screened by some algorithm somewhere and filed away, perhaps never to be read by human eyes. That’s the truth of the Mass surveillance state its a machine learning by rote surveillance state and to call it an artificial intelligence is something of a misnomer.
Pelagius said this.
“We must now take precautions to prevent you from being embarrassed by something in which the ignorant majority is at fault for lack of proper consideration, and so from supposing with them, that man has not been created truly good simply because he is able to do evil. … If you reconsider this matter carefully and force your mind to apply a more acute understanding to it, it will be revealed to you that man’s status is better and higher for the very reason for which it is thought to be inferior: it is on this choice between two ways, on this freedom to choose either alternative, that the glory of the rational mind is based, it is in this that the whole honor of our nature consists, it is from this that its dignity is derived.”

The USA’s citizens will indignantly choose the right Path, Kurt, I support President Trump I think he has delivered on many more promises than Obama or any of the Presidents since Kennedy even tried to. I appreciate your writing Kurt, speaking for me it has made a difference to me sat in my Home in the Swedish Forest, so thank you.

The revolution will not be televised. We Do Not COnsent Trafalgar Square 26th Sept 2020.
Matt Hancock has made his Counter Protest Placard already I see.
The revolution will not be televised.
Back in the 2016 I set comments of Professor Melina Abdullah to the Great Track The Revolution will not be televised By Gil Scott Heron.
“I was blown away by the appearance of Melina Abdullah of Black Lives Matters on Democracy now yesterday following the Sanders win in the Michigan Primary. Professor Abdullah made a persuasive case for those interested in real change in the US not to become over-invested in a democratic (sic) process simply not designed as democratic in the sense of By the people for the people. The process is corrupt however hard Sanders or in a charitable case, Clinton and even Trump push back against. It’s wider than that and the African American viewpoint is not something as A white Male expatriate white British Male in Sweden could ever understand let alone articulate so Reading the Professor’s work as I have,Dr. Cornell Wests ( Race Matters for instance) will provide me with something of a shadow in the Allegory of the Cave. Cornell West inspired my Track Blues Man in the Life of the Mind.
; and when Professor Abdullah mentioned and quite obviously referenced the Great Gil Scott Herons the revolution will not be televised I had to just edit that together along with some of the words of my favorite living Philosopher Cornell West, and of course the Dangerous Dude from the Brooklyn Hood Bernie Sanders. What happens in the US is more important to my Country of Birth The United Kingdom than the referendum to leave the EU, My blog on that can be found here”.
Since then we have had Brexit, President Trump all manner of “False Flag” terror, Skripal, PeeGate, New Zealand Mosques, London Bridge, Manchester Arena, Outrages in Every Continent, and now #Contrick19
Paulo Freire > Quotes > Quotable Quote
“In a situation of manipulation, the Left is almost always tempted by a “quick return to power,” forgets the necessity of joining with the oppressed to forge an organization, and strays into an impossible “dialogue” with the dominant elites. It ends by being manipulated by these elites, and not infrequently itself falls in an elitist game, which it calls “realism.”
Manipulation, like the conquest whose objectives it serves, attempts to anesthetize the people so they will not think. For if the people join to their presence in the historical process critical thinking about that process, the threat of their emergence materializes in revolution…One of the methods of manipulation is to inoculate individuals with the bourgeois appetite for personal success. This manipulation is sometimes carried out directly by the elites and sometimes indirectly, through populist leaders.”

I put together this primer for the 26th September Rally in Trafalgar Square London touching on the Oligarchical Nature of the present rush to Serfdoms Brave New World for the 1% – 5% and 1984 for the rest of you.
RBG Death Means Two-Headed Uniparty Will Threaten Americans With Removal Of Civil Rights
Caitlin Johnstones Blog
“If however you recognize that America has two parties that are owned and operated by a single oligarchic class which has more or less the same overarching goal as far as ordinary people are concerned, it looks completely different.
If you understand that America has a two-headed one-party system designed to shrink the spectrum of acceptable debate down to arguments about how oligarchic agendas should be facilitated rather than if they should, what you see is a single entity threatening to take away your civil liberties if you don’t support it. A single establishment threatening to punch you with its right hand if you don’t let it punch you with its left.”

#Who are they? perhaps a little Friere might help.
“[T]he more radical the person is, the more fully he or she enters into
reality so that, knowing it better, he or she can transform it. This
individual is not afraid to confront, to listen, to see the world
unveiled. This person is not afraid to meet the people or to enter into a
dialogue with them. This person does not consider himself or herself
the proprietor of history or of all people, or the liberator of the
oppressed; but he or she does commit himself or herself, within history, to fight at their side.”

A very good article, My only quibble is that when you mention the withdrawal of large denomination notes in India in the mid 2000 teens you do not mention #Aadhaar.
No one seems to notice it, Rishi Sunacks father in Law was a major player in its introduction which has also gone very badly. I major Bollywood documentary about Aadhaar was spiked, literally canned as its message was too critical of the system’s failure.
The Nigerian experience is a Canary in the coal mine, Aadhaar is the Elephant in the room, of course India Elephants are the small eared ones, perhaps that explains the deafness to this Indian Elephant in the room #Aadhaar.

and Correction Housing Wealth Figures. 12.3 Trillion? 8.6 Trillion? 4.57 Trillion? are not captured , I will put those on the new free Going Direct Paradigm web site hosted on a free WordPress Site.

I am in the process of Archiving this WordPress Blog to a static Site on IPFS. I am also in the process of Shifting completely off the Google Suite of Apps including adopting a “Free Open Source” e-mail provider.
In a system so obviously Rigged to support a handful of hugely powerful global monopolies the logical move to gain some self-respect and privacy is to stop an endless stream of own goals by continuing to embrace the stick with which one is being beaten.
2016 was the year that the Old Main Stream Media Failed, it could be described as The Nudge that failed. Peak nudge was probably the Second Iraq war and the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Lie, anyone remember the Chilcott report?
Kier Starmer was featured on UK Column this Last Friday, voicing concern over Telegram Groups, lots of Hand Wringing about Right-Wing Extremism & Radicalisation.

MP: ‘Shambolic second lockdown announcement left me horrified’
AN MP was left “horrified” when a second lockdown was announced.
Stop sending the enemy a telegram every time you go online, message on Telegram.
Blockade the monopolists, Boycott the propagandist platforms. Stop being the product?
Not so much the product as the raw material if you think about it.
It’s a Sunday so a reference to the Mote and Beam seems in order.
If 1/8th removed the Mote from each individual eye the beam would soon dissolve in the eye of the 7/8ths.
