Much of this happened before I was 16 and the rest happened before I left America in 1984. I kept this list short.
In my decades, I have seen some shit.
Heading down under as Ronnie and George were about to enter the White House for their second term seemed like a good time to go.
I could always go back. My intentions were unknown but I felt like I belonged here in Australia.
Last week I celebrated 4 decades as a resident/citizen of this island continent.
The cacophony and the madness and pace of the world have accelerated. Our reliance on and trust in the internet has dulled our focus. There is too much information to digest.
And it comes at you at a mile a minute. It instills fear in people.
I used to hitchhike all the time. Is it any more dangerous or have we just been exposed to all the sensational horrible things that occur from here to Timbuktu when we look at our newsfeed? With today’s connectivity hitching a ride should be safer as we can always be in contact. I never had anyone attempt to murder me as I sped along the New York State Thruway.
Kids can’t go out and play anymore. They will be kidnapped. I do not know of any child that has been kidnapped and I am sure most of you do not. Using USA statistics, due to a larger population, 460,000 kids go missing each year. That is based on any person under 18 who goes missing for more than an hour. For example, Jimmy missed his stop on the school bus and was reported missing.
Of that 460,000 only 105 were stereotypical kidnappings and 92% of that 105 kids made it home safe. If for some strange reason you WANTED your child to be kidnapped by a stranger, how long would you have to keep them outside, unattended, for this to be statistically likely to happen?
750,000 years.
And if you don’t want to read on….here is some fabulous music….
One dysfunctional party and one old man is all about fear.
And then he decides to purge the villains….with violence.
June 16th, 2015 seems like a hundred years ago when 45 announced his candidacy for President.
The world is always full of political upheaval and tragic events.
Nature is always here to show us beauty and where we belong.
But this damn buzzing will not stop.
Mass shootings, nothing changes.
Trump runs and wins. Shocks most of the nation.
Trump loses and attempts to overturn the election with a violent attempt at overturning the election and insurrection at the capitol. He should be in jail for the words he spoke and the actions of HIS mob.
Shocks most of the nation.
Trump has many charges laid against him. He is now a convicted felon with more charges pending.
Shocks most of the nation.
TRUMP RUNS AGAIN.
Who can believe this is going on? What is going on?
War in Europe. War In The Middle East. Genocide.
China and Taiwan throw barbs along with the Koreans.
Sudan. Myanmar. Mexican Drug War. Add your favourite conflict.
24/7 news cycle breaks us up. Musk and Zuckerberg rake in the dollars as Russian, Iranian and other players fire psychological operations into our devices and homes disguised as fact. Zuckerberg calls Trump a badass after he was shot and Musk attends a Trump rally endorsing him.
They win if politics is divisive. The public will vote with their clicks on their platforms to fight with their brothers and sisters. Don’t even get me started on the Murdoch Empire.
We need to reboot our hearts , souls and minds and turn things off.
Yeah, here I am writing for the internet and telling you to switch off. Maybe I need to think about that. OK, just be more selective and use your BRAIN. Just because someone tells you something in your feed does not make it a fact. I can tell you I have not lied to you here.
AI is going to make that much worse. You know that. Do you?
Look this is funny (below) and if we did not KNOW it was not real or were from another planet, we might think it was.
I do have a fear that is real and that is what happens after this election in America. Even when Trump loses, what will the Republican party morph into? If you have not glanced at or read the 900 pages of Project 2025, I think you should and that will give you a firm idea of the darkness of their agenda.

Talk about scary. Picture this the VP could be JD Vance who is 39 and has very little political and leading experience. He also has a hard time ordering donuts and talking to humans.
We need to be more human. We need to know we are being programmed. Read this substack below. Now that is scary….
And simply Harris and Walz are politicians and they will always be pulled one way or the other but these videos show they are human.
What is going on with this guy? Why would he use YMCA as one of his campaign theme songs? Someone explain?
America you have a choice.
We sit in our homes around the world waiting to see if you also have a heart and soul that reminds you of what America stands for. A change to a positive future and love and hope and joy would be a beautiful place to find in that land of the red, white and blue.
This election is important. If you are voting for Trump and he wins, don’t forget he said this:
And if you are undecided…Have a listen.
The final countdown…..
Fuck yeah team America . Salient my friend . Love The Happy Sufferer
