Prepping for air migration

 If you are silent about your pain,



they’ll kill you

and say

you enjoyed it.

Plumbers and disloyal mothers; David Ford says..


"For the last 5-6 weeks I have mostly been out of markets and just watching and waiting for something to make sense fundamentally and technically as intraday currency volatility and direction did not marry up with my initial expectations. TBH I had been waiting for another down leg in equity and spike in the USD as the Global economy proceeded to unwind. Last week however, it became obvious that the rate of change in political polarisation has stepped up another gear in advance of the US election. This time we have Liberty Proponents, COVID Skeptics & Anti Vaxers coalescing and Redpilling even more people as Leftist Democrats attempt a further divide and conquer of the sleeping populace in light of the lost employment and crashed economy. It dawned on me that this political war is about to go very mainstream - and already we are seeing massive protests around state capitals everywhere all over the globe. People that are awake (and those on the fence that realise that their freedom has been snatched) are getting very antsy. Eventually this is going to escalate into violence and a breakdown in trust of law enforcement. You don't need to be a PHD to realise that the focus of these Globalist efforts is to solely capture the imagination of sheep in the US in advance of the November election to turn people against the Government (Trump) for supposed mishandling of the Virus response. This implies instability. Unfortunately Trump is willingly handing destructive control back to Blue State Governors on reopening - hoping that everyone will blame them rather than him, but this is a flawed strategy IMO. This will only exacerbate the political conflict, the morbidity stats, and the grassroots rebellion. This is transforming into a tinderbox of civil unrest in my opinion that will greatly harm the international perception of the USD in the coming 6 months. It is this Republican Vs Communist conflict on Domestic US soil in advance of this coming election that will commence the killing of confidence in Public US Assets. This implies that US equity will rise to new highs before and following the election with the USD suffering also as funds seek home currencies to primarily de-leverage their exposure across the board. Although it sounds counterintuitive, I'm inclined to like everything long against the USD." DF mindset

No wins today, but words are back.




Today was horrific, despite all my best imaginings. I did not win and so I fell, and the reality was set, and and I am stuck with the full horror of it. This blossomed into a breakdown of sorts - tears and curses against god, all of which proceeded from my blocked little hovel of a brain. I woke up and battled through meditation to feel the low sit of the equinox near. Only now just remembering that  it's not just the end of a year, but a whole new body of a decade that is forming. I am struggling with all the bits of me that crumble, scattering at the bottom of my floor; the place where tides lap and dip and soak my outlooks; the crumbs of damp bread scatterings that make no sense. So there is more rage and blame, and silence; and I am called to trust with patience. But I am ripped and torn, by directions that leverage hard, with their non paying fates that hide and square the corners. It's all nonsensical when it's quiet. But there has been good. Apple cider vinegar, and bilateral suprapinatus armpit holds. Hands over ears, that rake down the turbulence, till there is yoga and tai chi again. Both of which caress and serve to boil me down. The way I fear, right now, is that there will be no return to fullness, and that nothing good will ever happen again. Meanwhile I am mesmerised by the bits of me that have fallen. But today I did make a patch, the markings of a new diary and the first rough scribblings.  So there will be something tangibly physical to offer to the coming of the new year.  MB

Liar Liar..

"So Husky, so palpably rehearsed, Tony Blair presented himself as some sort of restless penitent, likely for the rest of his mortal days to be self-tormented about Iraq.
Our former prime minister called a press conference to give his reaction to the Chilcot Report. Dressed as though for mourning, he stepped towards a lectern in a drawing room of Admiralty House, Whitehall. 
A check of the voice. A shuttering gaze as his brow furrowed. 'I express more sorrow, regret and apology than you may ever know or can believe,' said Blair the victim.
Verily, a desert boulder, so skilfully wrung, might bleed. Oh, the theatrics, the dry-mouthed pauses, those Derek Jacobi eyes with their squint at some distant destiny. Say what you like about Blair but he is a world-class tragedian, as silken an emoter as ever trod boards on Drury Lane. "

Blood is blood

“ Those we fight, lacking our industrial machines of death, kill up close. But killing remotely does not make us less morally deformed. Long-distance killing, epitomized by drone operators at Air Force bases within the United States who go home for dinner, is as depraved. These technicians make the vast machinery of death operate with a terrifying clinical sterility. They depersonalize industrial war. ...
“The mechanized, rational, impersonal, and sustained mass destruction of human beings, organized and administered by states, legitimized and set into motion by scientists and jurists, sanctioned and popularized by academics and intellectuals, has become a staple of our civilization, the last, perilous, and often repressed heritage of the millennium,” Omer Bartov wrote in “Murder in Our Midst: The Holocaust, Industrial Killing and Representation.”
We torture kidnapped captives, many held for years, in black sites. We carry out “targeted assassinations” of so-called high-value targets. We abolish civil liberties. We drive millions of families from their homes. Those who oppose us do the same. They torture and behead—replicating the execution style of the Christian Crusaders—with their own brand of savagery. They rule as despots. Pain for pain. Blood for blood. Horror for horror. There is a fearsome symmetry to the madness. It is justified by the same religious perversion. It is the same abandonment of what it means to be humane and just. ..” Chris Hedges
