I write a lot of f..... an analogy might be useful..<br />I write a lot of fiction.. in many cases it involves how a protagonist.. pursues their target.. I got my first bath in this kind of thinking & perception as a young man reading National Geographic.. and years later reading 'Track Of The Grizzly' .. all related to the experts.. the Craighead Brothers of Yellowstone. Despite their expert opinion, it was decided to abruptly close the dumps in Yellowstone Park. <br /><br />Fast forward to that summer, hikers have been attacked and killed, partially eaten etc.. Rogue Grizzly attacks<br /><br />The Park Admin asked the Craigheads for assistance.. assist in the finding of and euthanizing of the offending bear or bears<br /><br />They joined the group of rangers etc.. and followed the obvious trail.. Suddenly the Craigheads stopped.. motioned.. got the party to retreat quietly & quickly. They looped around to approach the trail from the side & downwind.. The bear was there hidden atop a rock from anyone on the trail. It had backtracked to ambush, kill pursuers and feed again.. it was truly rogue. It was an old bear, broken down teeth, mating war wounds.. but it had become accustomed to dump foraging year round.. and suddenly had no real food source. Just as the Craigheads had predicted.. which was 'politically unfavorable' to the Park Admin<br /><br />My point.. the obvious is not really useful in dire or extreme times. Cast aside the ritual response, the common sense solutions, break away from patterned pack behaviour or belief.. Get a grip, get survivalist - get mean, go lateral.. activate intense critical informed thinking. <br /><br />Trump and the GOP represent a clear threat to Canadians. On the Environmental and Pollution file it should be obvious.. it will be disastrous. Do not expect, much less count on Mainstream Media in Canada to lift a lazy finger of assistance or comprehension.. that Canuck horse left the barn a ways back. Do not expect, much less count on your Federal or Provincial Government to defend you. A high percentage think Trump is annointed by gawd.. he excites them <br /><br />Your elected riding MP is whipped.. does not intend to represent your safety, dreams, needs or wishes .. you have served his interests however... Your political parties are long since 99% tired, jaded, corrupted or befuddled.. or worse sold out just for $ .. take your pick of their excuses or who owns them. <br /><br />Our Parliament is archaic, clumsy, inefficient, moribund.. We waste a day of governance on the Monarchy ritual dance. The mace is trotted in.. all bow.. The Governor General will speechify.. mebbe wave a ceremonial sword.. ergh. Then comes the farcical 'question period' as portrayed and managed once by poor Andrew Scheer, retired Multi Millionaire Insurance office cabin boy.. in his dream home with his brood of 7.. never an expense spared by the generous taxpayers !!

I believe Trump will skate this time for the same reason.<br /><br />Trump's signs of dementia are becoming hard to ignore: inability to recall what he's just been told, slurred speech, perseveration, confusion, disorientation, difficulty reasoning, impulsivity, and so on. The physical signs are there as well: balance issues, weaving when walking, limited upper limb mobility, etc. Compare a campaign video of Trump in 2015 to a recent one. Trump famously stalked around the debate stage, gesticulating wildly. Now his hands grip the lecturn and rarely leave it. He seems incapable of raising his left arm. There was the recent emergency visit to Walter Reed for reasons never disclosed. Trump's dad died with Alzheimer's and he looks like he's going the same way. His enablers will cover for him as long as they can, just as they did with Reagan, but Trump is declining quickly and it'll become harder and harder to hide.<br /><br />CapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
