The Brazilian Rain Forest Burning is a World Crisis


Trump is losing it.  There is something new every day.  He’s calling the Federal Reserve chairman a traitor or something for not going along with Trump’s economic plans.  No other president has ever publicly opposed his own Fed chairman like this.  Trump can’t “hereby order” corporations to stop doing business with China.  Their plans are set years in advance and it would take a really long time to get new trading partners.   The president said the Fed chairman was a bigger enemy of the state than was Chinese leader Shi, or whatever his name is.  The sheer number of Trump outrages in the past three weeks is impressive.  Apparently the president made some remark about “I am the chosen” to deal with China.  And he said something about the second coming of “God” (not Christ) in dealing with Israel.  It’s borderline whacko time.  There are rumors that Mike Pence and Governor Haley are going to conspire to drive Trump from office and take over themselves as president and vice president.  I think this is just another in a long series of liberal pipe dreams.   Such a move really would guarantee a republican defeat next year.  The loss in face alone would be an unmitigated disaster.  Think about it. 

That 21 year old deputy the other day may have been a staged attack.  I don’t want to think about it.  Here’s something else I don’t want to think about.  Justice Ruth Bator Ginsburgh has cancer again.  This time it’s in her pancreas and she had surgery for it and the prognosis seems positive for now.  Justice Ginsburg needs to hang on one more year.  You know Moscow Mitch can’t wait to ram through the next Justice nominee.  President Trump ordered an additional five percent hike in the China terrifs making 30% in all.  This is what made the Dow Jones Industrials go down over six hundred points today.  If God is the ultimate soap opera script writer of it all, then he’s got a real lulu on his hands today.  ( - )

I’ll discuss the burning down of the Amazon rain forest some other time.  I remember writing down a reference in the previous file but it isn’t showing up now.   This president of Brazil is allowing the burning to make way for farming and timber harvesting and perhaps mining.  The rest of the world is appalled but his buddy Trump will support him.  The absurd charge is levied that leftists themselves are setting the fires to get press coverage.  The scope of the fires is huge and over a thousand miles away in Sao Paulo they see the smoke.   This was the topic of Democracy Now.  Then it was Stephanie Miller.   The Brazilian rain forest generates twenty percent of the world's oxygen so it's really a world crisis and not Brazilian politics.  The world at large has an interest in preserving it.  Speaking of other people I wouldn't mind going to Hell, David Koch died today at age 79.  He ran for vice president on the libertarian party ticket in 1980 and the Republicans are fast implementing the platform he ran on that year.  How much evil do you suppose this man is responsible for.  

Today’s Days of our Lives episode was kind of an anticlimax from yesterday.  They should have grabbed and frisked Christin when they first saw her.  They can put her in custody and the questions (if any are really necessary) can come later.  I think the new surprise of the day was that “Tony killed all those people and not me”.  The reason why Tony is still being distant with Anna is that he has more baggage he hasn’t dealt with and it looks like he too will end up in prison.  I went to the front room where this lady was telling about her firsthand experiances on 9 – 11.  George W Bush is another murderer that needs to be arrested.  I picked up two Oreos on the table and got tea from Patrick.  Then I went out and talked to Phyllis.  We saw Tux kind of darting down the road.  Phyllis has seen Mayo since I have.   

.  I’ve come up with a new heresy based on reading and thinking about the Bible carefully.  It dawned on me that the Sebalians may be right.  The persons of God never speak at the same time and they never talk to each other.  They have one dedicated spokesman in different sections of the New Testament.  First the Father speaks to Jesus Christ hearing voices or something.  In Acts and most of the Epistles of Paul, it’s the Holy Spirit that takes center stage.  We are told to pray not to Jesus but to the Father in the name of Jesus in the Gospels.  In Acts it’s the Holy Spirit that enables people to speak and gives directives as to what to do.  In Revelation finally Jesus Christ takes center stage and does the talking.  He speaks to the Seven Churches and elsewhere.  It is Jesus in the seventh church who says “Behold I stand at the door and knock and whoever opens the door I will come into their heart”.  You don’t seem to find a direct appeal of Jesus directly in Acts because they preach a dead Christ who just sits at the right hand of the Father (who says nothing) and doesn’t get involved here on earth.

 .  Thom Hartman had a good show today.  He talked a lot about institutionalized discrimination against Blacks in government programs that somehow presidents Roosevelt and Truman went along with.  If anything they deserve reperations for just being chomeated out of every program to be passed since 1935, if Hartman is right.  Hartman says the biggest reason why we don’t have national health care right now is because biggots from the South never want Blacks to have it.   This should make an interesting blogging topic if my numbers weren’t so dreadful it scarcely matters what I write.  I wonder why I even try.  I had the computer on with Rob Ney right up till eleven.  The other idea put forth was an insane one.  He says the ecology crisis has to reach a bigger crisis than it is now and finally people will see the light.  The other disturbing news of the day is that Secretary of State Pompeo is a Chuck Smith believer in the rapture and the quicker we can start World War III, the better. 

.  I turned on Democracy Now.  ISIS had this suicide bomber who killed 65 members of a wedding party and that’s about as sick as you can get.  ISIS is pure violence and seemingly pure evil.  Maybe they should have the death penalty for anyone who is proven to be a member of ISIS.  We’ll just bomb them.  More and more from various sources I’m reminded about what a racist institutional government we have.  At six it was Stephanie Miller.  I got my medication at six thirty.  

Olivia knocked on the door frensiacly with her boyfriend about six o clock on Tuesday evening.  She came over to announce that Bill had died at one o clock in the hospital that day, which was Tuesday.  I still don’t know what he died of.  Olivia was sporadically emotional.  At one point I hugged her and was aware of how sweaty she was and how warm the room actually was.  I keep the window closed because I’m afraid of Augustine.  She said she would come over last night but didn’t.  I told Dorthey and Millie that Bill had died and Millie expressed her condolences.  Dorthey said “Bill is probably better off”.  I’m a little worried about the after-life for myself and wondering whether ANYBODY gets to the after-life or we’re all just dead.  Perhaps I should have witnessed to Bill more.  I mentioned Bill’s death to the med lady at the window.  She expressed condolences for my loss but said she didn’t know Bill.  It was the ABC network news, Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune.  At eight it was that “Pandora” thing.  It was about a female android having emotional programs and she felt something had gone wrong with her programming and she turned out to be correct.   I haven’t seen Mayo around wither Tuesday or yesterday or today.  There is a solid black kitten besides the black and white kitten.
