That certainly has not been because there is not much going on in the world since 2021 or my lack of interest in all of it. I think I am just a little overwhelmed by the events of the last few years and in a little bit of despair about what the future holds. I am not good at foreseeing what is to come and tend to give more credibility to darker outcomes. However much I try to look at positive things for the future, it all looks pretty grim to me. There are so many disturbing situations that seem perilous for all of us; the polarization of US politics, the China-Taiwan standoff, North Korea sabre rattling, and a whole myriad of tumult in the Middle East. Looming over all of this are the ever-increasing consequences of climate change.</span></p><p class="western" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.08in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">And then there is the most immediate threat of all . . . Russia's illegal and unprovoked attack on Ukraine.</span></p><p class="western" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.08in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">I cannot properly express my disdain for Putin, Russia, the remnants of its Soviet culture, and even its people. I will not say more about this very dim view of all things Russian. But today I read the words of a Russian citizen, Vladimir Kara-Murza, who is on trial for speaking out against the tyranny of the Putin regime. Clearly, he is an individual of incredible courage and a beam of light in my very dark view of the future and of Russians.</span></p><p class="western" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.08in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">This was in today's Washington Post:</span></p><p class="western" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.08in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">______________________________________</span></p><p class="western" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.08in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">"Vladimir Kara-Murza delivered these remarks on Monday at the closing session of his trial in Moscow.</span></p><p class="western" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.08in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">MOSCOW CITY COURT — Members of the court: I was sure, after two decades spent in Russian politics, after all that I have seen and experienced, that nothing can surprise me anymore. I must admit that I was wrong. I’ve been surprised by the extent to which my trial, in its secrecy and its contempt for legal norms, has surpassed even the “trials” of Soviet dissidents in the 1960s and ’70s. And that’s not even to mention the harshness of the sentence requested by the prosecution or the talk of “enemies of the state.” In this respect, we’ve gone beyond the 1970s — all the way back to the 1930s. For me, as a historian, this is an occasion for reflection.</span></p><p class="western" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.08in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">At one point during my testimony, the presiding judge reminded me that one of the extenuating circumstances was “remorse for what [the accused] has done.” And although there is little that’s amusing about my present situation, I could not help smiling: The criminal, of course, must repent of his deeds. I’m in jail for my political views. For speaking out against the war in Ukraine. For many years of struggle against Vladimir Putin’s dictatorship. For facilitating the adoption of personal international sanctions under the Magnitsky Act against human rights violators.</span></p><p class="western" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.08in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Not only do I not repent of any of this, I am proud of it. I am proud that Boris Nemtsov brought me into politics. And I hope that he is not ashamed of me. I subscribe to every word that I have spoken and every word of which I have been accused by this court. I blame myself for only one thing: that over the years of my political activity I have not managed to convince enough of my compatriots and enough politicians in the democratic countries of the danger that the current regime in the Kremlin poses for Russia and for the world. Today this is obvious to everyone, but at a terrible price — the price of war.</span></p><p class="western" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.08in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">In their last statements to the court, defendants usually ask for an acquittal. For a person who has not committed any crimes, acquittal would be the only fair verdict. But I do not ask this court for anything. I know the verdict. I knew it a year ago when I saw people in black uniforms and black masks running after my car in the rearview mirror. Such is the price for speaking up in Russia today.</span></p><p class="western" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.08in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">But I also know that the day will come when the darkness over our country will dissipate. When black will be called black and white will be called white; when at the official level it will be recognized that two times two is still four; when a war will be called a war, and a usurper a usurper; and when those who kindled and unleashed this war, rather than those who tried to stop it, will be recognized as criminals.</span></p><p class="western" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.08in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">This day will come as inevitably as spring follows even the coldest winter. And then our society will open its eyes and be horrified by what terrible crimes were committed on its behalf. From this realization, from this reflection, the long, difficult but vital path toward the recovery and restoration of Russia, its return to the community of civilized countries, will begin.</span></p><p class="western" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.08in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Even today, even in the darkness surrounding us, even sitting in this cage, I love my country and believe in our people. I believe that we can walk this path."</span></p><p class="western" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.08in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">_______________________________________</span></p><p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.08in;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: xx-small;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: xx-small;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhKyGw58OKFc2s0tcNdPFwFHMTPcgq9BLYhyODUVTbkPFjOTOISklcAVqSsFHWatKnobQnVr4vbVZ7xWeNk-zpPiZi1VhWUCleIOkeWJbACqXDIlV6JW5-iyFxocgtkWI3Gq_RQ6O6v2ubujMddKmkSsZp5wi6jlSbzPwM8Yf3VAF51q4xj8KU" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="192" data-original-width="205" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhKyGw58OKFc2s0tcNdPFwFHMTPcgq9BLYhyODUVTbkPFjOTOISklcAVqSsFHWatKnobQnVr4vbVZ7xWeNk-zpPiZi1VhWUCleIOkeWJbACqXDIlV6JW5-iyFxocgtkWI3Gq_RQ6O6v2ubujMddKmkSsZp5wi6jlSbzPwM8Yf3VAF51q4xj8KU=w191-h179" width="191" /></a></div><br />Vladimir Kara-Murza, a Global Opinions contributor to The Post, is a Russian politician, author and historian. He holds Russian and British passports and settled his family in the United States. He has been an outspoken critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin. In April 2022, nearly two months after Putin invaded Ukraine, uniformed police officers surrounded Kara-Murza’s car and took him to a Moscow police station. Initially detained on a spurious charge of disobeying the police, Kara-Murza was indicted 11 days later under a law passed in the wake of the invasion. A Russian court charged him with spreading what it considers “false” information. He maintains his innocence. A conviction could bring 10 years in prison.</span><p></p><p class="western" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.08in;"><br /><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: xx-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEibgm5Y4tL1l3-VWxbCVqnjIanYLb6M4NaNp9iO4daWLu3tubmSfmmJDwwWGVygq9QiFU_iuxjjVSTgKhWOvy4bP-8YiBd7gWIh7IteMSID6-wTXgU54u2k1YPo7XafnpjLYfFjL_eZIkvk9woGvJltDUv3PgFAz8O8FJOoZjXLTWRVNtfrz3Q" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a></span></p>AncientMarinerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13628004371544267213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10943608.post-73107061042782358272021-01-15T18:02:00.002-04:002021-02-04T01:07:28.564-04:00<p><span face="arial, sans-serif">In my last post I posed the thought there was going to be a little drama in Washington DC on the 6th of January. I was thinking that it would come from politicians. A physical assault on the capital building in which rioters gained access to the floor of the House of Congress and sent its members into hiding was certainly not something I thought possible even in the crazy that is America today. I guess they have gone further down the road to anarchy than I had imagined.</span></p><p><span face="arial, sans-serif">This morning I read this New York Times essay by Timothy Snyder and I thought it to so very insightful of the situation in the United States. As such, his words are deeply disturbing to me because I just don't see Americans accepting any truth that is not in line with their political creed.</span></p><p><span face="arial, sans-serif"><br /></span></p><p><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b><i>The
American Abyss</i></b></span></span></p><p><span face="nyt-magsans, helvetica, arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 9pt;">A
historian of fascism and political atrocity on Trump, the mob and
what comes next.</span></p><p><span face="nyt-magsans, helvetica, arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 9pt;"><b><i>By

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">When
Donald Trump stood before his followers on Jan. 6 and urged them
to march on the United States Capitol, he was doing what he had
always done. He never took electoral democracy seriously nor accepted
the legitimacy of its American version.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">Even
when he won, in 2016, he insisted that the election was
fraudulent — that millions of false votes were cast for his
opponent. In 2020, in the knowledge that he was trailing Joseph R.
Biden in the polls, he spent months claiming that the
presidential election would be rigged and signalling that he would
not accept the results if they did not favor him. He wrongly claimed
on Election Day that he had won and then steadily hardened his
rhetoric: With time, his victory became a historic landslide and the
various conspiracies that denied it ever more sophisticated and
implausible.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">People
believed him, which is not at all surprising. It takes a tremendous
amount of work to educate citizens to resist the powerful pull of
believing what they already believe, or what others around them
believe, or what would make sense of their own previous choices.
Plato noted a particular risk for tyrants: that they would be
surrounded in the end by yes-men and enablers. Aristotle worried
that, in a democracy, a wealthy and talented demagogue could all too
easily master the minds of the populace. Aware of these risks and
others, the framers of the Constitution instituted a system of checks
and balances. The point was not simply to ensure that no one branch
of government dominated the others but also to anchor in institutions
different points of view.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">In
this sense, the responsibility for Trump’s push to overturn an
election must be shared by a very large number of Republican members
of Congress. Rather than contradict Trump from the beginning, they
allowed his electoral fiction to flourish. They had different reasons
for doing so. One group of Republicans is concerned above all with
gaming the system to maintain power, taking full advantage of
constitutional obscurities, gerrymandering and dark money to win
elections with a minority of motivated voters. They have no interest
in the collapse of the peculiar form of representation that allows
their minority party disproportionate control of government. The most
important among them, Mitch McConnell, indulged Trump’s lie
while making no comment on its consequences.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">Yet
other Republicans saw the situation differently: They might actually
break the system and have power without democracy. The split between
these two groups, the gamers and the breakers, became sharply visible
on Dec. 30, when Senator Josh Hawley announced that he
would support Trump’s challenge by questioning the validity of the
electoral votes on Jan. 6. Ted Cruz then promised his own
support, joined by about 10 other senators. More than a hundred
Republican representatives took the same position. For many, this
seemed like nothing more than a show: challenges to states’
electoral votes would force delays and floor votes but would not
affect the outcome.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">Yet
for Congress to traduce its basic functions had a price. An elected
institution that opposes elections is inviting its own overthrow.
Members of Congress who sustained the president’s lie, despite the
available and unambiguous evidence, betrayed their constitutional
mission. Making his fictions the basis of congressional action gave
them flesh. Now Trump could demand that senators and congressmen bow
to his will. He could place personal responsibility upon Mike Pence,
in charge of the formal proceedings, to pervert them. And on Jan. 6,
he directed his followers to exert pressure on these elected
representatives, which they proceeded to do: storming the
Capitol building, searching for people to punish, ransacking the
place.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">Of
course this did make a kind of sense: If the election really had been
stolen, as senators and congressmen were themselves suggesting, then
how could Congress be allowed to move forward? For some Republicans,
the invasion of the Capitol must have been a shock, or even a lesson.
For the breakers, however, it may have been a taste of the future.
Afterward, eight senators and more than 100 representatives voted for
the lie that had forced them to flee their chambers.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Post-truth
is pre-fascism, and Trump has been our post-truth president.
When we give up on truth, we concede power to those with the wealth
and charisma to create spectacle in its place. Without agreement
about some basic facts, citizens cannot form the civil society that
would allow them to defend themselves. If we lose the institutions
that produce facts that are pertinent to us, then we tend to wallow
in attractive abstractions and fictions. Truth defends itself
particularly poorly when there is not very much of it around, and the
era of Trump — like the era of Vladimir Putin in Russia — is one
of the decline of local news. Social media is no substitute: It
supercharges the mental habits by which we seek emotional stimulation
and comfort, which means losing the distinction between what feels
true and what actually is true.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">Post-truth
wears away the rule of law and invites a regime of myth. These last
four years, scholars have discussed the legitimacy and value of
invoking fascism in reference to Trumpian propaganda. One comfortable
position has been to label any such effort as a direct comparison and
then to treat such comparisons as taboo. More productively, the
philosopher Jason Stanley has treated fascism as a phenomenon, as a
series of patterns that can be observed not only in interwar Europe
but beyond it.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">My
own view is that greater knowledge of the past, fascist or otherwise,
allows us to notice and conceptualize elements of the present that we
might otherwise disregard and to think more broadly about future
possibilities. It was clear to me in October that Trump’s behavior
presaged a coup, and I said so in print; this is not because the
present repeats the past, but because the past enlightens the
present.</span></span></span></span></span><br />
</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">Like
historical fascist leaders, Trump has presented himself as the single
source of truth. His use of the term “fake news” echoed the Nazi
smear Lügenpresse (“lying press”); like the Nazis, he
referred to reporters as “enemies of the people.” Like Adolf
Hitler, he came to power at a moment when the conventional press had
taken a beating; the financial crisis of 2008 did to American
newspapers what the Great Depression did to German ones. The Nazis
thought that they could use radio to replace the old pluralism of the
newspaper; Trump tried to do the same with Twitter.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">Thanks
to technological capacity and personal talent, Donald Trump lied at a
pace perhaps unmatched by any other leader in history. For the most
part these were small lies, and their main effect was cumulative. To
believe in all of them was to accept the authority of a single man,
because to believe in all of them was to disbelieve everything else.
Once such personal authority was established, the president could
treat everyone else as the liars; he even had the power to turn
someone from a trusted adviser into a dishonest scoundrel with a
single tweet. Yet so long as he was unable to enforce some truly big
lie, some fantasy that created an alternative reality where people
could live and die, his pre-fascism fell short of the thing itself.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Some
of his lies were, admittedly, medium-size: that he was a successful
businessman; that Russia did not support him in 2016; that Barack </span></span></span></span></span>Obama was born in Kenya. Such medium-size lies were the standard fare
of aspiring authoritarians in the 21st century. In Poland the
right-wing party built a martyrdom cult around assigning blame to
political rivals for an airplane crash that killed the nation’s
president. Hungary’s Viktor Orban blames a vanishingly small number
of Muslim refugees for his country’s problems. But such claims
were not quite big lies; they stretched but did not rend what Hannah
Arendt called “the fabric of factuality.”</span></p><p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">One
historical big lie discussed by Arendt is Joseph Stalin’s
explanation of starvation in Soviet Ukraine in 1932-33. The state had
collectivized agriculture, then applied a series of punitive measures
to Ukraine that ensured millions would die. Yet the official line was
that the starving were provocateurs, agents of Western powers who
hated socialism so much they were killing themselves. A still grander
fiction, in Arendt’s account, is Hitlerian anti-Semitism: the
claims that Jews ran the world, Jews were responsible for ideas that
poisoned German minds, Jews stabbed Germany in the back during the
First World War. Intriguingly, Arendt thought big lies work only in
lonely minds; their coherence substitutes for experience and
companionship.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">In
November 2020, reaching millions of lonely minds through social
media, Trump told a lie that was dangerously ambitious: that he
had won an election that in fact he had lost. This lie
was big in every pertinent respect: not as big as “Jews run the
world,” but big enough. The significance of the matter at hand was
great: the right to rule the most powerful country in the world and
the efficacy and trustworthiness of its succession procedures. The
level of mendacity was profound. The claim was not only wrong, but it
was also made in bad faith, amid unreliable sources. It challenged
not just evidence but logic: Just how could (and why would) an
election have been rigged against a Republican president but not
against Republican senators and representatives? Trump had to speak,
absurdly, of a “Rigged (for President) Election.”</span></span></span></span></span><br />
</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">The
force of a big lie resides in its demand that many other things must
be believed or disbelieved. To make sense of a world in which the
2020 presidential election was stolen requires distrust not only of
reporters and of experts but also of local, state and federal
government institutions, from poll workers to elected officials,
Homeland Security and all the way to the Supreme Court. It brings
with it, of necessity, a conspiracy theory: Imagine all the people
who must have been in on such a plot and all the people who would
have had to work on the cover-up.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">Trump’s
electoral fiction floats free of verifiable reality. It is defended
not so much by facts as by claims that someone else has made some
claims. The sensibility is that something must be wrong because I
feel it to be wrong, and I know others feel the same way. When
political leaders such as Ted Cruz or Jim Jordan spoke like this,
what they meant was: You believe my lies, which compels me to repeat
them. Social media provides an infinity of apparent evidence for any
conviction, especially one seemingly held by a president.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">On
the surface, a conspiracy theory makes its victim look strong: It
sees Trump as resisting the Democrats, the Republicans, the Deep
State, the pedophiles, the Satanists. More profoundly, however, it
inverts the position of the strong and the weak. Trump’s focus on
alleged “irregularities” and “contested states” comes down to
cities where Black people live and vote. At bottom, the fantasy of
fraud is that of a crime committed by Black people against white
people.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">It’s
not just that electoral fraud by African-Americans against Donald
Trump never happened. It is that it is the very opposite of what
happened, in 2020 and in every American election. As always, Black
people waited longer than others to vote and were more
likely to have their votes challenged. They were more likely to
be suffering or dying from Covid-19, and less likely to be
able to take time away from work. The historical protection of their
right to vote has been removed by the Supreme Court’s 2013
ruling in Shelby County v. Holder, and states have rushed to
pass measures of a kind that historically reduce voting by the poor
and communities of color.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">The
claim that Trump was denied a win by fraud is a big lie not just
because it mauls logic, misdescribes the present and demands belief
in a conspiracy. It is a big lie, fundamentally, because it reverses
the moral field of American politics and the basic structure of
American history.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">When
Senator Ted Cruz announced his intention to challenge the Electoral
College vote, he invoked the Compromise of 1877, which resolved the
presidential election of 1876. Commentators pointed out that this was
no relevant precedent, since back then there really were serious
voter irregularities and there really was a stalemate in Congress.
For African-Americans, however, the seemingly gratuitous reference
led somewhere else. The Compromise of 1877 — in which Rutherford B.
Hayes would have the presidency, provided that he withdrew federal
power from the South — was the very arrangement whereby
African-Americans were driven from voting booths for the better part
of a century. It was effectively the end of Reconstruction, the
beginning of segregation, legal discrimination and Jim Crow. It is
the original sin of American history in the post-slavery era, our
closest brush with fascism so far.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">If
the reference seemed distant when Ted Cruz and 10 senatorial
colleagues released their statement on Jan. 2, it was brought very
close four days later, when Confederate flags were paraded through
the Capitol.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-style: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">Some
things have changed since 1877, of course. Back then, it was the
Republicans, or many of them, who supported racial equality; it was
the Democrats, the party of the South, who wanted apartheid. It was
the Democrats, back then, who called African-Americans’ votes
fraudulent, and the Republicans who wanted them counted. This is now
reversed. In the past half century, since the Civil Rights Act,
Republicans have become a predominantly white party interested — as
Trump openly declared — in keeping the number of voters, and
particularly the number of Black voters, as low as possible. Yet the
common thread remains. Watching white supremacists among the people
storming the Capitol, it was easy to yield to the feeling that
something pure had been violated. It might be better to see the
episode as part of a long American argument about who deserves
representation.</span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">The
Democrats, today, have become a coalition, one that does better than
Republicans with female and nonwhite voters and collects votes from
both labor unions and the college-educated. Yet it’s not quite
right to contrast this coalition with a monolithic Republican Party.
Right now, the Republican Party is a coalition of two types of
people: those who would game the system (most of the politicians,
some of the voters) and those who dream of breaking it (a few of the
politicians, many of the voters). In January 2021, this was visible
as the difference between those Republicans who defended the present
system on the grounds that it favored them and those who tried to
upend it.</span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">In
the four decades since the election of Ronald Reagan, Republicans
have overcome the tension between the gamers and the breakers by
governing in opposition to government, or by calling elections a
revolution (the Tea Party), or by claiming to oppose elites. The
breakers, in this arrangement, provide cover for the gamers, putting
forth an ideology that distracts from the basic reality that
government under Republicans is not made smaller but simply diverted
to serve a handful of interests.</span></span></span></span></span><br />
</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">At
first, Trump seemed like a threat to this balance. His lack of
experience in politics and his open racism made him a very
uncomfortable figure for the party; his habit of continually telling
lies was initially found by prominent Republicans to be uncouth. Yet
after he won the presidency, his particular skills as a breaker
seemed to create a tremendous opportunity for the gamers. Led by the
gamer in chief, McConnell, they secured hundreds of federal judges
and tax cuts for the rich.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">Trump
was unlike other breakers in that he seemed to have no ideology. His
objection to institutions was that they might constrain him
personally. He intended to break the system to serve himself — and
this is partly why he has failed. Trump is a charismatic politician
and inspires devotion not only among voters but among a surprising
number of lawmakers, but he has no vision that is greater than
himself or what his admirers project upon him. In this respect his
pre-fascism fell short of fascism: His vision never went further than
a mirror. He arrived at a truly big lie not from any view of the
world but from the reality that he might lose something.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Yet
Trump never prepared a decisive blow. He lacked the support of the
military, some of whose leaders he had alienated. (No true fascist
would have made the mistake he did there, which was to openly love
foreign dictators; supporters convinced that the enemy was at home
might not mind, but those sworn to protect from enemies abroad did.)
Trump’s secret police force, the men carrying out snatch
operations in Portland,was violent but also small and ludicrous.
Social media proved to be a blunt weapon: Trump could announce his
intentions on Twitter, and white supremacists could plan their
invasion of the Capitol on Facebook or Gab. But the president, for
all his lawsuits and entreaties and threats to public officials,
could not engineer a situation that ended with the right people doing
the wrong thing. Trump could make some voters believe that he had won
the 2020 election, but he was unable to bring institutions along with
his big lie. And he could bring his supporters to Washington and send
them on a rampage in the Capitol, but none appeared to have any very
clear idea of how this was to work or what their presence would
accomplish. It is hard to think of a comparable insurrectionary
moment, when a building of great significance was seized, that
involved so much milling around.</span></span></span></span></span><br />
</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">The
lie outlasts the liar. The idea that Germany lost the First
World War in 1918 because of a Jewish “stab in the back” was 15
years old when Hitler came to power. How will Trump’s myth of
victimhood function in American life 15 years from now? And to whose
benefit?</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">On
Jan. 7, Trump called for a peaceful transition of power, implicitly
conceding that his putsch had failed. Even then, though, he repeated
and even amplified his electoral fiction: It was now a sacred cause
for which people had sacrificed. Trump’s imagined stab in the back
will live on chiefly thanks to its endorsement by members of
Congress. In November and December 2020, Republicans repeated it,
giving it a life it would not otherwise have had. In retrospect, it
now seems as though the last shaky compromise between the gamers and
the breakers was the idea that Trump should have every chance to
prove that wrong had been done to him. That position implicitly
endorsed the big lie for Trump supporters who were inclined to
believe it. It failed to restrain Trump, whose big lie only grew
bigger.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">The
breakers and the gamers then saw a different world ahead, where the
big lie was either a treasure to be had or a danger to be avoided.
The breakers had no choice but to rush to be first to claim to
believe in it. Because the breakers Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz must
compete to claim the brimstone and bile, the gamers were forced to
reveal their own hand, and the division within the Republican
coalition became visible on Jan. 6. The invasion of the Capitol only
reinforced this division. To be sure, a few senators withdrew their
objections, but Cruz and Hawley moved forward anyway, along with six
other senators. More than 100 representatives doubled down on the big
lie. Some, like Matt Gaetz, even added their own flourishes, such as
the claim that the mob was led not by Trump’s supporters but by his
opponents.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">Trump
is, for now, the martyr in chief, the high priest of the big lie. He
is the leader of the breakers, at least in the minds of his
supporters. By now, the gamers do not want Trump around. Discredited
in his last weeks, he is useless; shorn of the obligations of the
presidency, he will become embarrassing again, much as he was in
2015. Unable to provide cover for their gamesmanship, he will be
irrelevant to their daily purposes. But the breakers have an even
stronger reason to see Trump disappear: It is impossible to inherit
from someone who is still around. Seizing Trump’s big lie might
appear to be a gesture of support. In fact it expresses a wish for
his political death. Transforming the myth from one about Trump to
one about the nation will be easier when he is out of the way.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">As
Cruz and Hawley may learn, to tell the big lie is to be owned by it.
Just because you have sold your soul does not mean that you have
driven a hard bargain. Hawley shies from no level of hypocrisy; the
son of a banker, educated at Stanford University and Yale Law School,
he denounces elites. Insofar as Cruz was thought to have a principle,
it was that of states’ rights, which Trump’s calls to action
brazenly violated. A joint statement Cruz issued about the senators’
challenge to the vote nicely captured the post-truth aspect of the
whole: It never alleged that there was fraud, only that there were
allegations of fraud. Allegations of allegations, allegations all the
way down.</span></span></span></span></span><br />
</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">The
big lie requires commitment. When Republican gamers do not exhibit
enough of that, Republican breakers call them “RINOs”:
Republicans in name only. This term once suggested a lack of
ideological commitment. It now means an unwillingness to throw away
an election. The gamers, in response, close ranks around the
Constitution and speak of principles and traditions. The breakers
must all know (with the possible exception of the Alabama senator
Tommy Tuberville) that they are participating in a sham, but they
will have an audience of tens of millions who do not.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">If
Trump remains present in American political life, he will surely
repeat his big lie incessantly. Hawley and Cruz and the other
breakers share responsibility for where this leads. Cruz and Hawley
seem to be running for president. Yet what does it mean to be a
candidate for office and denounce voting? If you claim that the other
side has cheated, and your supporters believe you, they will expect
you to cheat yourself. By defending Trump’s big lie on Jan. 6, they
set a precedent: A Republican presidential candidate who loses an
election should be appointed anyway by Congress. Republicans in the
future, at least breaker candidates for president, will presumably
have a Plan A, to win and win, and a Plan B, to lose and win. No
fraud is necessary; only allegations that there are allegations of
fraud. Truth is to be replaced by spectacle, facts by faith.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">Trump’s
coup attempt of 2020-21, like other failed coup attempts, is a
warning for those who care about the rule of law and a lesson for
those who do not. His pre-fascism revealed a possibility for American
politics. For a coup to work in 2024, the breakers will require
something that Trump never quite had: an angry minority, organized
for nationwide violence, ready to add intimidation to an election.
Four years of amplifying a big lie just might get them this. To claim
that the other side stole an election is to promise to steal one
yourself. It is also to claim that the other side deserves to be
punished.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">Informed
observers inside and outside government agree that right-wing white
supremacism is the greatest terrorist threat to the United States.
Gun sales in 2020 hit an astonishing high. History shows that
political violence follows when prominent leaders of major political
parties openly embrace paranoia.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">Our
big lie is typically American, wrapped in our odd electoral system,
depending upon our particular traditions of racism. Yet our big lie
is also structurally fascist, with its extreme mendacity, its
conspiratorial thinking, its reversal of perpetrators and victims and
its implication that the world is divided into us and them. To keep
it going for four years courts terrorism and assassination.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">When
that violence comes, the breakers will have to react. If they embrace
it, they become the fascist faction. The Republican Party will be
divided, at least for a time. One can of course imagine a dismal
reunification: A breaker candidate loses a narrow presidential
election in November 2024 and cries fraud, the Republicans win both
houses of Congress and rioters in the street, educated by four years
of the big lie, demand what they see as justice. Would the gamers
stand on principle if those were the circumstances of Jan. 6, 2025?</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">To
be sure, this moment is also a chance. It is possible that a divided
Republican Party might better serve American democracy; that the
gamers, separated from the breakers, might start to think of policy
as a way to win elections. It is very likely that the Biden-Harris
administration will have an easier first few months than expected;
perhaps obstructionism will give way, at least among a few
Republicans and for a short time, to a moment of self-questioning.
Politicians who want Trumpism to end have a simple way forward: Tell
the truth about the election.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-weight: normal;">America
will not survive the big lie just because a liar is separated from
power. It will need a thoughtful repluralization of media and a
commitment to facts as a public good. The racism structured into
every aspect of the coup attempt is a call to heed our own history.
Serious attention to the past helps us to see risks but also suggests
future possibility. We cannot be a democratic republic if we tell
lies about race, big or small. Democracy is not about minimizing the
vote nor ignoring it, neither a matter of gaming nor of breaking a
system, but of accepting the equality of others, heeding their voices
and counting their votes.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="color: black;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><i>Timothy

I have been awake for a few hours now just thinking of things and the
prospects for the new year. I have to admit that I am somewhat
unsettled and a little worried.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I
perceive 2020 as the year in my lifetime</span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> which, by a considerable
margin, has been the most catastrophic. This has not been so much for
me personally but for generally the sad state of everything.
Clearly, this is the result of the COVID 19 pandemic which continues
to ravage the populations of most nations and with particular
intensity on the United States of America. It is this American
disaster that leads me to my concern.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">All
countries regardless of their system of government or economic health
are struggling with the pandemic and to say that it has
disrupted global prosperity would be a vast understatement. There
has been a whole range of responses by countries of which some have
been more successful than others trying to control the pandemic to
be manageable by their health care systems. I find it very
disturbing that as the richest, most influential and powerful nation on the earth the United States has had the least effective and entirely dysfunctional response to COVID 19. The health care systems in some states are overwhelmed and the number of cases continues to climb out of control. As concerning as this is, it is not
what has me preoccupied this morning.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", serif; font-size: 11pt;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQrZgPHy4uH1KRTN2k2vnnTtRhWDeJ41sASB0PDU3sLbou4rNeRnwsuu5E6htXl2-vvFqqQAAoHY7t7T_w5ajs8CjdlznoSWaYZsOBOmtpqOdb9FnMCfI0DLPz3d3PhIS2gVE8Rg/s800/Uncle+Sam.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="780" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQrZgPHy4uH1KRTN2k2vnnTtRhWDeJ41sASB0PDU3sLbou4rNeRnwsuu5E6htXl2-vvFqqQAAoHY7t7T_w5ajs8CjdlznoSWaYZsOBOmtpqOdb9FnMCfI0DLPz3d3PhIS2gVE8Rg/w129-h133/Uncle+Sam.png" width="129" /></a></span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">What
I have been thinking about is that with the catastrophic public
health outcomes of the pandemic, the effects on the political and
democratic fabric of the American republic may be even more
devastating. The USA was a country very much divided before COVID 19
with Republicans and Democrats drifting ideologically further apart
for a number of years encouraged by the divisive rhetoric of their
president. I am sure
that future historians will wax eloquent on the failures of
the current president to provide any leadership to deal with COVID 19
and how he is largely responsible for the complete mess his country
is in right now. Tragically, his totally inadequate response to the
pandemic has done nothing to unify the nation at a time when it was
so important for Americans to join together to fight an enemy that
continues to assail them all indiscriminately. The death toll now
stands at over 345 thousand souls, by far the greatest of any
country. His loss of the 2020 election is directly attributable to all of this.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In
a sane world in which reality, facts, science, logic, rule of law,
and long-held principles of decency are paramount, the result of the 2020 election was very clear. Joe Biden won! In the modern
history of the USA, results that have been even more closely
contested have been accepted </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">and the will of the people acknowledged </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">(the 2000 election had to be resolved
with a ruling by the Supreme Court before it was accepted). Today, however, the current president, some 58 days
after his defeat, refuses to acknowledge this fact even after all but
one of over 60 court filings to overturn the results have been unsuccessful. Given his past performance, this is not a surprising stance
for him to take. A man completely without shame, he has no respect
for the will of the electorate or the law.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">What
is surprising for me has been the subdued acquiescence - the silence - of
most Republicans throughout this process. Their acceptance of the
lies and misinformation of the President is truly cowardly.
Furthermore, there are a number of them who have so completely immersed themselves into the sewer of lies of this malevolent autocrat
that they have openly declared that on January 6th they will vote
against the acceptance in the House of Representatives of the count
of the Electoral College of some States which are in favour of Joe Biden. Normally this is usually a ceremonial event and, other than the inauguration, is the final process of the election.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">It is the Democrats who have a majority in the House. Such a vote,
even if all Republicans voted against acceptance, would not pass. It
would however send a very strong message of just how many legislators have no regard for their legal system or the will of their people.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">January
6th is but five days way. It is going to be an interesting day in
Washington. Most pundits expect that there will be some drama
orchestrated by Republicans but that in the end, Joe Biden will
receive his final and official endorsement as President-Elect.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I,
however, still remain worried knowing how bat-shit crazy things are
these days.</span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><br /><p></p></div>AncientMarinerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13628004371544267213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10943608.post-24709578470517757122020-03-29T23:17:00.003-03:002020-11-13T22:12:41.338-04:00A Change of Luck<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""arial" , sans-serif">In a world that has gone topsy-turvy with COVID-19 running rampant throughout we are now practising “physical distancing” to help slow
the rate of infection in our community. As we used to say in the
navy we are “confined to barracks”. Fortunately, it is still
acceptable to go outdoors and walk in the neighbourhood provided that
one maintains a separation of six feet from any individual they may
encounter on their walk. So, other than our walks in the area we have
been spending a lot of time at home.</span></div>

full of interesting facts and marvels of the incredibly complex
vessel that is each of us. It is written in a way and at a level that a
poor uneducated soul such as I can understand and enjoy. </span>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: times;">Clearly, I am not a prolific Blogger!
It has been over a year since I last made a post on this page which
has made me wonder as to why I am doing this at all. Maybe, years in
the future long after I have gone this obscure little corner of the
internet will still be accessible and my grandchildren will able to
read these posts just out of idle curiosity.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: times;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: times;">So 2019 has passed and by-and-large it
was much the same as the years before. Which is to say that it was a
pretty good year. We had a lovely visit in July with all of the
family coming home and a trip for a couple of days in PEI. A really
pleasant time. Last summer I got lots of golf in and although my game is not
quite what it used to be, I did have one bright spot – I scored my
lowest score ever. A 74 which was just two strokes short of golfing
my age of 72. For no real reason, last year Cathie and I did very
little travelling. This year we are planning a two-week trip to the
southwest of England, first to St. Ives and then to a cottage in
Devon. We will be spending this time with our daughter's family and
most importantly our grandchildren (sorry Sara and Anth, you get
second billing now).</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: times;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTgIWWLcKOGnvbmWb6P7w_Z45_j65ILDizzzSRZtfBo8THXS-3fj9x7U4IyHK6b7caYm7pKzPy4Mum2RNrdyMZI2CJt_dS9DK2KglVMlwaZpm4B5QUudz8MeETGkGYmx2R92dGtw/s1600/COVID19.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: times;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1209" height="148" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTgIWWLcKOGnvbmWb6P7w_Z45_j65ILDizzzSRZtfBo8THXS-3fj9x7U4IyHK6b7caYm7pKzPy4Mum2RNrdyMZI2CJt_dS9DK2KglVMlwaZpm4B5QUudz8MeETGkGYmx2R92dGtw/s200/COVID19.jpg" width="200" /></span></a><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: times;">That briefly was the year and our
plans. But on the last day of 2019, China reported to the World
Health Organization that they had detected a new corona-virus that
had infected some of its citizens in the city of Wuhan. Within days
there was considerable alarm about the nature of this disease which I
think is now called COVID-19 and its rapid uncontrolled rate of
infection. There was considerable uncertainty as to how this new
virus is transmitted from human to human, and how long a person can
have it before showing symptoms. It appears that older persons and
those with other health issues (particularly respiratory issues) are
the most at risk. Soon it was found in other cities in China and
then in other parts of the world transmitted by travellers from
China. And now it is being transmitted within the communities of
other countries. The level of anxiety that this has had on the world
is astounding. And it is not just the possibility of this illness
infecting millions with many fatalities it is its effect on the
entire fabric of the global economy. In the 64 days since it was
first reported internationally, American stock markets have reported
their biggest losses since the 2008 financial crisis and it has had a significant effect on travel especially to Asia. Most travel to
China has come to a halt and there are travel bans to other infected
areas imposed by countries trying to contain the spread of this
disease. China has taken drastic measures to contain the outbreak
with a significant effect on its economic output which I suspect will
soon be to the detriment of the economies of those who trade with
her.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: times;">So at this point, I have been holding
back on booking our flight to England because I am worried about what
the outcome of all of this is going to be. It is all over the news
now and each day the problems seem to grow. I have a tendency to
take in all that is going on in the world and form ideas that are very
foreboding concerning the future only to find that my predictions
usually are not as bad as I first conceived. I hope that will be true
with this situation.</span></div>

I miss him. There is this now empty spot in my core that he occupied and that connected me to the early part of my existence. With him gone, it is like I lost so much of my connection to the past. His memory was so much better than mine and whenever we did talk of our childhood as twins he would always remind me of that which I had hidden in the foggy recesses of my brain. Yes, I miss him and the good he brought to my life.</span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The golfing season is rapidly coming to its end. My home course at Hartlen Point officially closes next Monday and a long winter looms. I am certainly going to miss it. This year I did not get as many games in as I have in the last few years. That was mostly due to other important things going on like the visit of our family for most of July and the weather in May and October was not all that conducive to golf.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A few days ago I had a cursory look at this year's performance stats and there is a distinct decrease in the positive numbers recorded for my games. Other than 2004, when I spent more than a year struggling with a knee injury, my stats and handicap rating have steadily improved (although marginally in recent years). For the first time since 2004, my golf is in decline. This year I have had no back problems (which have often affected my play in the past) nor have I had any other health issues. My health has not been a problem. This year I seem to be hitting the ball off the tee as well as I have done in previous years but my ability to get the ball on the green from within 50 yards is now non-existent. If I do not have a full swing at the ball I will invariably flub the shot. Very frustrating. Definitely an aspect of my game I need to practice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I believe it is just the fact that I am getting older and my body just does not function as well as it used to. I have noticed that I am a little more tired at the end of a round and generally not as limber as I once was. Hey, I'm 71 and I suspect that is not going to get any better but, hopefully, my decline will be slow and that my good health will continue.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Already, I am looking forward to next year when I can work on my short game.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Well, today Americans will finally be voting in their mid-term elections. It is a subject which has been in the news for months and in fever pitch these past few weeks. It seems that most pundits are reluctant to commit to a forecast in favour of one party or the other, a stance not surprising given their misreading of the 2016 presidential disaster. I find that to be such a depressing situation.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">After almost two years of the buffoonery in the White House, that there is any support for more of it astonishes me. The clearly racist, misogynistic and hatred expressed by its current deceitful and narcissistic occupant has now been accepted and, for many Republicans, endorsed as party policy. That moderate Republicans are largely silent and have <span style="color: #222222;">acquiesced</span> to all of this is disheartening. Two years of this reality show and there is a significant number of Americans who have not clearly expressed abhorrence of the despicable fool in the White House. The mid-term elections should have been a clear message of rejection of the direction that he has taken the country. These elections should never have been this close.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">The Democrats may very well take the majority in House of Congress but will likely lose seats in the Senate. If that happens, one can only hope that some form of restraint can be imposed on the malevolent narcissist who is now the president.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Good luck, America but I suspect you are about to descend further into chaos and party tribalism.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My wife, Cathie, likes to travel and is always checking opportunities for us to visit places near and far. It is really easy for me - she comes up with ideas which are usually all great and if I am in agreement, she does the research and organizes everything. No wonder I have such a good life. Last March we flew off to Brunei again for a five-week stay to be with our daughter Sara and her husband Anth (that's what we say but really it is to see our grandkids, Alex and Isla). In April we flew to Toronto to attend a memorial for my brother Jim. It was on the 28th of April on what would have been his and was my 70th birthday. Then last fall Cathie organized short (2/3 day) trips for us to Cape Breton and Kejimkujik National Park and, for Christmas, a stay at the Quarterdeck Resort just south of Liverpool. Here is a video of our Keji visit.</span><br />

</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In early December last year, we also took a short bus tour down to Boston the highlight of which was an evening with The Boston Pops. As one who is not all that fussy about attending live events, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed that concert.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So this March we are off to Phoenix Arizona for the start of an 11-day bus tour of Canyons and National Parks of the south-west and end up in Las Vegas Nevada from where we fly back to Canada</span>.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Thirteen years and two days ago I wrote my first Blog here at this site. My first thoughts concerned how grateful I was to be fortunate enough to be safe in a country like Canada and to be financially secure to live comfortably. Nothing in the past 13 years has occurred to diminish those feelings. I understand that this is not the case for all of us Canadians and we have problems. We are not perfect and there are those of us not well served by our governments or social services. However, unlike some other prosperous nations, all our political organizations/parties for the most part attempt to deal with these problems for the national good. This is a good country.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh29wzt4L_o2bnO_HR12OGX7hvrIcdfAX3DWdS4tUssxbUy-EHxtA-ySO0e1D4mRvy-WKUlasK2ZppbI_1LnJ1qLiQ7LiR44FU6bchtCSPuusEfMgOCxcVscXsbYqv6brAB1nWMkg/s1600/File+2018-02-15%252C+2+26+14+PM.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I still am totally fascinated by the political soap opera south of the border. In earlier blogs I worried that George Bush would destroy their nation and then thought that Barack Obama would right all its wrongs . . . neither occurred. In retrospect, Bush was not the complete boogie man I saw nor Obama the complete saint. Despite the many alarms I responded to, America survived. So it is with some degree of caution that I now try to digest the great proliferation of media and Internet information that is now so readily available about American politics and all of which is totally overwhelming. So much information and much of it is false and overly alarmist. In particular, it is very hard now to discern fact-based rational reporting of political happenings. I am now learning to try and look outside my self-created liberal bubble and appreciate that there must be rational conservative views that are totally valid. The current president of the United States does not make this endeavour easy, indeed, I do believe it is his desire to create chaos. He is an individual who has managed to so clearly divide their country into factions that are so intolerant of each other. And from all this it is hard to hear the rational voices (republican or democrat). With this very confusing noise, I am having difficulty understanding what the hell is going on. But one thing is very clear to me . . . the current </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">president is a despicable, narcissistic, misogynist and shallow low life who is a disgrace to the human race.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><br />
</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Sigh . . . it is going to be hard to escape my liberal-leaning bubble.</span></span><br />

With the help of technology in the form of a Fitbit and more recently a Garmin GPS fitness tracker on my wrist, I have been keeping a daily record of my endeavors for the last two years. With these fitness trackers, I have been able to determine how many steps I have taken and distance walked in the time that I have had them. For 2016 I walked 4.8 million steps and a distance of 2549 miles and for 2017 it was 4.9 million steps and a distance of 2425 miles (not sure why the miles in 2017 are less than 2016 while the steps are greater). So far this winter we have had weather which has been very favorable for walking so I have been getting lots of outdoor walks logged in. This picture was taken a few days ago after a 10K walk on a day that was warm enough for me to remove my jacket. This year I hope to do better in both steps and distance. I should mention that this walking also includes all that done on the golf courses that I trek over when they open in the spring and close in the fall. And that walking adds considerably to my numbers. Last year at Hartlen Point I was the member with the highest number of recorded rounds - 161.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well, three weeks into the new American presidency and the malevolent incompetent (as I heard this man recently described) is fully creating the havoc that his white middle-America base (an appropriate word) seems to believe is going to “Make America Great Again”. Now the president of the United States is at war with American judiciary for blocking his thinly disguised ban on all Muslims from seven countries which are mostly in turmoil as a result of inept American military action in the middle east. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As this president sees it, the judiciary have prevented him from protecting the American people and it is they (the judiciary) who will be solely responsible for any future terrorist attack. There has been so much written and spoken about this fiasco recently and some analysts have suggested that all this may not be what appears to be gross incompetence but rather it is part of a more sinister strategy to further inflame the fear of Americans. The ultimate goal of these schemes is to consolidate more power and executive authority in the hands of the ultra-conservative right-wing (and white) minority.</span></div>

<h3>
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">WHEN IT’S TOO LATE TO STOP FASCISM, ACCORDING TO STEFAN ZWEIG</span></b></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">By George Prochnik</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">February 6, 2017</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Austrian émigré writer Stefan Zweig composed the first draft of his memoir, “The World of Yesterday,” in a feverish rapture during the summer of 1941, as headlines gave every indication that civilization was being swallowed in darkness. Zweig’s beloved France had fallen to the Nazis the previous year. The Blitz had reached a peak in May, with almost fifteen hundred Londoners dying in a single night. Operation Barbarossa, the colossal invasion of the Soviet Union by the Axis powers, in which nearly a million people would die, had launched in June. Hitler’s Einsatzgruppen, mobile killing squads, roared along just behind the Army, massacring Jews and other vilified groups—often with the help of local police and ordinary citizens.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Zweig himself had fled Austria preëmptively, in 1934. During the country’s brief, bloody civil war that February, when Engelbert Dollfuss, the country’s Clerico-Fascist Chancellor, had destroyed the Socialist opposition, Zweig’s Salzburg home had been searched for secret arms to supply the left-wing militias. Zweig at the time was regarded as one of Europe’s most prominent humanist-pacifists, and the absurd crudity of the police action so outraged him that he began packing his things that night. From Austria, Zweig and his second wife, Lotte, went to England, then to the New World, where New York City became his base, despite his aversion to its crowds and abrasive competitiveness. In June of 1941, longing for some respite from the needs of the exiles in Manhattan beseeching him for help with money, work, and connections, the couple rented a modest, rather grim bungalow in Ossining, New York, a mile uphill from Sing Sing Correctional Facility. There, Zweig set to furious work on his autobiography—laboring like “seven devils without a single walk,” as he put it. Some four hundred pages poured out of him in a matter of weeks. His productivity reflected his sense of urgency: the book was conceived as a kind of message to the future. It is a law of history, he wrote, “that contemporaries are denied a recognition of the early beginnings of the great movements which determine their times.” For the benefit of subsequent generations, who would be tasked with rebuilding society from the ruins, he was determined to trace how the Nazis’ reign of terror had become possible, and how he and so many others had been blind to its beginnings.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Zweig noted that he could not remember when he first heard Hitler’s name. It was an era of confusion, filled with ugly agitators. During the early years of Hitler’s rise, Zweig was at the height of his career, and a renowned champion of causes that sought to promote solidarity among European nations. He called for the founding of an international university with branches in all the major European capitals, with a rotating exchange program intended to expose young people to other communities, ethnicities, and religions. He was only too aware that the nationalistic passions expressed in the First World War had been compounded by new racist ideologies in the intervening years. The economic hardship and sense of humiliation that the German citizenry experienced as a consequence of the Versailles Treaty had created a pervasive resentment that could be enlisted to fuel any number of radical, bloodthirsty projects.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Zweig did take notice of the discipline and financial resources on display at the rallies of the National Socialists—their eerily synchronized drilling and spanking-new uniforms, and the remarkable fleets of automobiles, motorcycles, and trucks they paraded. Zweig often travelled across the German border to the little resort town of Berchtesgaden, where he saw “small but ever-growing squads of young fellows in riding boots and brown shirts, each with a loud-colored swastika on his sleeve.” These young men were clearly trained for attack, Zweig recalled. But after the crushing of Hitler’s attempted putsch, in 1923, Zweig seems hardly to have given the National Socialists another thought until the elections of 1930, when support for the Party exploded—from under a million votes two years earlier to more than six million. At that point, still oblivious to what this popular affirmation might portend, Zweig applauded the enthusiastic passion expressed in the elections. He blamed the stuffiness of the country’s old-fashioned democrats for the Nazi victory, calling the results at the time “a perhaps unwise but fundamentally sound and approvable revolt of youth against the slowness and irresolution of ‘high politics.’ “</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In his memoir, Zweig did not excuse himself or his intellectual peers for failing early on to reckon with Hitler’s significance. “The few among writers who had taken the trouble to read Hitler’s book, ridiculed the bombast of his stilted prose instead of occupying themselves with his program,” he wrote. They took him neither seriously nor literally. Even into the nineteen-thirties, “the big democratic newspapers, instead of warning their readers, reassured them day by day, that the movement . . . would inevitably collapse in no time.” Prideful of their own higher learning and cultivation, the intellectual classes could not absorb the idea that, thanks to “invisible wire-pullers”—the self-interested groups and individuals who believed they could manipulate the charismatic maverick for their own gain—this uneducated “beer-hall agitator” had already amassed vast support. After all, Germany was a state where the law rested on a firm foundation, where a majority in parliament was opposed to Hitler, and where every citizen believed that “his liberty and equal rights were secured by the solemnly affirmed constitution.”</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Zweig recognized that propaganda had played a crucial role in eroding the conscience of the world. He described how, as the tide of propaganda rose during the First World War, saturating newspapers, magazines, and radio, the sensibilities of readers became deadened. Eventually, even well-meaning journalists and intellectuals became guilty of what he called “the ‘doping’ of excitement”—an artificial incitement of emotion that culminated, inevitably, in mass hatred and fear. Describing the healthy uproar that ensued after one artist’s eloquent outcry against the war in the autumn of 1914, Zweig observed that, at that point, “the word still had power. It had not yet been done to death by the organization of lies, by ‘propaganda.’ “ But Hitler “elevated lying to a matter of course,” Zweig wrote, just as he turned “anti-humanitarianism to law.” By 1939, he observed, “Not a single pronouncement by any writer had the slightest effect . . . no book, pamphlet, essay, or poem” could inspire the masses to resist Hitler’s push to war.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Propaganda both whipped up Hitler’s base and provided cover for his regime’s most brutal aggressions. It also allowed truth seeking to blur into wishful thinking, as Europeans’ yearning for a benign resolution to the global crisis trumped all rational skepticism. “Hitler merely had to utter the word ‘peace’ in a speech to arouse the newspapers to enthusiasm, to make them forget all his past deeds, and desist from asking why, after all, Germany was arming so madly,” Zweig wrote. Even as one heard rumors about the construction of special internment camps, and of secret chambers where innocent people were eliminated without trial, Zweig recounted, people refused to believe that the new reality could persist. “This could only be an eruption of an initial, senseless rage, one told oneself. That sort of thing could not last in the twentieth century.” In one of the most affecting scenes in his autobiography, Zweig describes seeing the first refugees from Germany climbing over the Salzburg mountains and fording the streams into Austria shortly after Hitler’s appointment to the Chancellorship. “Starved, shabby, agitated . . . they were the leaders in the panicked flight from inhumanity which was to spread over the whole earth. But even then I did not suspect when I looked at those fugitives that I ought to perceive in those pale faces, as in a mirror, my own life, and that we all, we all, we all would become victims of the lust for power of this one man.”</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Zweig was miserable in the United States. Americans seemed indifferent to the suffering of émigrés; Europe, he said repeatedly, was committing suicide. He told one friend that he felt as if he were living a “posthumous” existence. In a desperate effort to renew his will to live, he travelled to Brazil in August of 1941, where, on previous visits, the country’s people had treated him as a superstar, and where the visible intermixing of the races had struck Zweig as the only way forward for humanity. In letters from the time he sounds chronically wistful, as if he has travelled back to before the world of yesterday. And yet, for all his fondness for the Brazilian people and appreciation of the country’s natural beauty, his loneliness grew more and more acute. Many of his closest friends were dead. The others were thousands of miles away. His dream of a borderless, tolerant Europe (always his true, spiritual homeland) had been destroyed. He wrote to the author Jules Romains, “My inner crisis consists in that I am not able to identify myself with the me of passport, the self of exile.” In February of 1942, together with Lotte, Zweig took an overdose of sleeping pills. In the formal suicide message he left behind, Zweig wrote that it seemed better to withdraw with dignity while he still could, having lived “a life in which intellectual labor meant the purest joy and personal freedom the highest good on earth.”</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wonder how far along the scale of moral degeneration Zweig would judge America to be in its current state. We have a magnetic leader, one who lies continually and remorselessly—not pathologically but strategically, to placate his opponents, to inflame the furies of his core constituency, and to foment chaos. The American people are confused and benumbed by a flood of fake news and misinformation. Reading in Zweig’s memoir how, during the years of Hitler’s rise to power, many well-meaning people “could not or did not wish to perceive that a new technique of conscious cynical amorality was at work,” it’s difficult not to think of our own present predicament. Last week, as Trump signed a drastic immigration ban that led to an outcry across the country and the world, then sought to mitigate those protests by small palliative measures and denials, I thought of one other crucial technique that Zweig identified in Hitler and his ministers: they introduced their most extreme measures gradually—strategically—in order to gauge how each new outrage was received. “Only a single pill at a time and then a moment of waiting to observe the effect of its strength, to see whether the world conscience would still digest the dose,” Zweig wrote. “The doses became progressively stronger until all Europe finally perished from them.”</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And still Zweig might have noted that, as of today, President Trump and his sinister “wire-pullers” have not yet locked the protocols for their exercise of power into place. One tragic lesson offered by “The World of Yesterday” is that, even in a culture where misinformation has become omnipresent, where an angry base, supported by disparate, well-heeled interests, feels empowered by the relentless lying of a charismatic leader, the center might still hold. In Zweig’s view, the final toxin needed to precipitate German catastrophe came in February of 1933, with the burning of the national parliament building in Berlin–an arson attack Hitler blamed on the Communists but which some historians still believe was carried out by the Nazis themselves. “At one blow all of justice in Germany was smashed,” Zweig recalled. The destruction of a symbolic edifice—a blaze that caused no loss of life—became the pretext for the government to begin terrorizing its own civilian population. That fateful conflagration took place less than thirty days after Hitler became Chancellor. The excruciating power of Zweig’s memoir lies in the pain of looking back and seeing that there was a small window in which it was possible to act, and then discovering how suddenly and irrevocably that window can be slammed shut.</span></div>

<span style="color: #00000a; font-family: calibri, serif; font-size: 11pt;">During the
past year, the coverage of the election and the focus on "The
Donald" has been staggering. The alarm bells have been ringing
since day one of his campaign and now he is at the switch to cut the
power to those bells. So much has been written about what is at
stake with this man's presidency but I think this “Against the
Logicians” blog sums up what we are in for.</span></div>

has been such a long time since I last wrote a </span>blog. In fact
I have not written a blog in the entire year of 2016. I am not
exactly certain why this is. It isn't because there was not a lot
going on in the world in 2016 or that I'm not interested in current
events. It certainly isn't because there had been no changes in my
personal life. Perhaps it has been because there have been so many
changes but one is the most significant.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This
was the year my twin brother died. Jim had been sick with cancer for
some time and had been taking a number of treatments seeking a cure.
In April of 2016, for the first time in more years than I could
remember we were together for our birthday. We spent the afternoon
in his living room at home talking - mostly of the memories we
shared, photography and cameras. He was hopeful that a new course of
treatment soon to be started would improve his health. It would be
the last time he spoke with me. Weeks later, at the end of May Paula
and Emma, Jim's wife and daughter asked for me to come back to
Toronto. Jim's treatment had not gone well and he had rapidly
deteriorated. He was in a coma and did not have much more time. I
arrived on Saturday and sat with him, Paula and Emma, and Gay, our
sister, for the next two days as family and friends came to share
their love for Jim.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On Monday evening (May 30<sup>th</sup>) with
everyone gone, an exhausted Paula and Emma went home for a much
needed rest. I was alone with Jim. Later in the evening his
breathing slowed. Around 10:30, ever so gently, his breathing
stopped. I was with him when he came into this world and I was with
him when he left it. Even though I am writing this more than half a
year after his death, I still don't think I have fully hoisted it in
that he is gone.</span></div>

It's been a while since I stirred to post my thoughts about anything. Not sure why I am reticent, there is so much going on in this world that keeps me thinking. For some reason, American politics is one of those things that has always intrigued me and it does move me to make comments (or, in this case, to post someone else's comments).<br />
<br />
As they progress towards the election of a new president in 2016, the American political machines are now in full throttle and will be so until next November. In 2012 I was in some dismay when it appeared that the extreme right-wing had hijacked the Republican party. The eventual Republican candidate, Mitt Romney, lost the election and America seemed sane again. Well . . . maybe not. If I was concerned about the 2012 slate of Republican candidates and their ideas, I am in horror of what they offer for 2016. In many ways, it is deeply disturbing and the following article by Andrew O'Hehir pretty much explains why.<br />

dark victory: Even Republicans are speaking out against the Donald's hateful Mussolini parody. But can the damage be undone?\n\nANDREW O'HEHIR | December 08, 2015 20:00 in SALON\n\nIt is time, brothers and sisters, to haul out the clichés, because for once they are not unwarranted. For most of my adult lifetime, which extends well back into the 20th century, people on the American left have been complaining about the slow march toward fascism. Now we have reached the day when such expressions no longer feel like metaphorical overkill.\n\nWhen a purportedly major presidential candidate, leading in the polls less than two months before the first votes are cast, proposes that we keep people out of the country based entirely on their religion – well, it feels like apocalyptic science-fiction, as if we were all living inside “The Man in the High Castle,” but I can only conclude that the moment to stand up and be counted is upon us. This is the moment to draw a line in the political sand and the moment to observe that it can happen here. It’s the moment to ask yourself whose side you’re on, and the moment to observe that those who would sacrifice essential liberty for the sake of temporary safety will get neither. Would you have spoken out in Germany in 1933, or 1936, or 1939, risking your own safety and that of your family, or would you have kept on going with your head down? It is time for those questions too, and also for the one that U.S. Army chief counsel Joseph N. Welch famously asked Sen. Joseph McCarthy in 1954: “Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?”\n\nWe don’t have to ask that question about Donald Trump, whose chief selling point has been his thoroughgoing lack of decency, along with his complete disconnection from political reality, legal plausibility and rational discourse. But all those questions apply with bitter and urgent relevance, however, to the rest of us. Trump, c’est nous -- or at least it is we who have created him and enabled his outrages. Now we face Victor Frankenstein’s problem: Having unleashed evil upon the world, largely because we wanted to see what would happen, how do we unmake the monster or undo his deeds? Win or lose, as Heather Digby Parton has noted, Trump has left his reeking polecat stench on American politics. From now on, the wholesale deportation of all immigrants, or the exclusion and persecution of all adherents to a particular faith, are mainstream political positions and not just the province of white supremacists with weird beards and multicolored Geocities-style websites.\n\nTrump dropped his latest xenophobic bombshell on Monday, quite likely in response to a dip in his Iowa poll numbers, by suggesting that all Muslims should be barred from entering the United States “until we get ahold of what’s going on.” Here’s one thing that’s going on: We should not dignify such a blatantly unconstitutional piece of rhetorical pandering by calling it a “proposal” or even an “idea.” It’s more like a masturbatory fantasy for the disempowered Trumpian demographic, a little blue pill of super-concentrated hate that will take us back to a magic land of full employment for white people, where campus radicals and transgender people will disappear and black lives demonstrably do not matter.\n\nHas Trump finally gone too far? Well, by now we ought to understand that’s a stupid question. His job is to go too far, and to drag the rest of us along with him, inch by inch. Everyone who wants to be seen as respectable in politics and media and any other arena of public life has backed away from Trump’s latest policy brain-fart in pearl-clutching horror, including most but not quite all of the other Republican presidential candidates. That’s better than hearing people agree with him, I guess, and it’s somewhat reassuring to discover that even in this year of upside-down politics there are things that still strike almost everyone as beyond the pale. But in some cases you have to be surprised that the words of shock and dismay didn’t curdle on their lips, or that the phrases of righteous indignation didn’t turn into scorpions and sting their utterers to death on the way out.\n\nWhen Chris Christie has argued that not even 5-year-old children from Syria should be admitted to the United States as refugees, and Jeb Bush has suggested that we should admit only those refugees who happen to be Christians, and Marco Rubio has argued whatever version of the no-refugees position he has been told puts him slightly to the right of Bush and slightly to the left of Trump and Ted Cruz, what possible right do those craven and spineless hypocrites, those mollusks of the shifting ideological tides, have to object to Trump pushing those ideas toward their logical extreme? Without even considering the 24/7 Father Coughlin-style demagoguery of Fox News, which has been spreading indiscriminate anti-Muslim hatred for the last 14 years, what right do Joe Scarborough or Chris Matthews or the false-equivalence talking heads of CNN have to pull long faces and announce that this, at last, is unacceptable and un-American, whereas all the crazy stuff we were talking about yesterday was totally fine.\n\nCable TV and social media and the amphetamine-fueled mania of the news cycle have nurtured and fed Donald Trump all along – he isn’t the first politician to be a celebrity first, but he’s the first to have been a reality TV star before he was a candidate – and has delighted in the fact that it couldn’t quite control him or predict what he would do next. As Trump and Roger Ailes were both clearly aware, their semi-manufactured feud was beneficial for both of their brands and for the ultimate cause they both serve, which has a scary name I will try to avoid saying again, lest sensitive readers get the vapors. (F-word trigger warning!) For now let’s just call it “replacing our screwed-up political system with something awesome.”\n\nFrom the beginning of his campaign, Trump has served as the release valve for the Republican Id, saying things that we all know many “base voters” and “ordinary Americans” are thinking – you don’t need me to decode those terms, I imagine -- but that the party’s “establishment” candidates feel compelled to pussyfoot around or cloak in euphemism. He has repeatedly stripped those cloaks of euphemism and equivocation away from his rivals, and especially Rubio and Bush, the two candidates whom the Koch brothers and other deep-pockets GOP backers would presumably prefer.\n\nThose guys (and Christie, to a lesser extent) have variously tried to tack with the Trumpian wind and then against it, tried to stay in his shadow, and tried to attach themselves to him like limpets, suggesting that they will accomplish almost the same impossible things he has promised without being quite as mean. Once again he has played them for fools, and forced them to face an unpalatable political choice: They can slither closer to the Trump position than they have already, revealing themselves to be craven, soulless panderers who will stop at nothing. Maybe we can bar Muslim tourists on alternate days? Or subject them to cavity searches and blasts of radiation? Or exclude the ones who really “look Muslim”? Failing that, Trump’s rivals can stand there like doofuses, soberly announcing that the Donald has finally gone too far, and revealing themselves to the Republican electorate as Obama-loving, terrorist-coddling pantywaist traitors.\n\nTed Cruz and Lindsey Graham at least deserve credit for political clarity, if nothing else, although the results of their strategies are quite different. Cruz has never distanced himself from Trump to any meaningful extent, and has not done so this week. He has wrapped himself around Trump’s trunk like the Serpent around the Tree of Knowledge, waiting for that apple to fall into his mouth. Cruz’s only response to the ban-all-Muslims notion has been to say “that is not my policy,” while making clear yet again that he feels the pain of the Trump demographic and shares their deep concern about the impending Islamic takeover of America, and that if they ultimately decide they want someone a little smoother, with a bit more book-learning and less obvious signs of mental illness, he is available. Trump scares me plenty, but I think Cruz scares me more.\n\nGraham, on the other hand, is an old-time Bush-Cheney neocon who forcefully supported the war that got us into this mess in the first place and now wants to wage another, bigger one. He is wrong on virtually every substantive policy issue and has absolutely no chance of being nominated or winning the election (albeit for reasons unrelated to his wrongness). But God love the guy, he is not a fascist and has seen from the beginning that the big 2015 swerve into Muslim-bashing and immigrant-bashing is terrible news for his political party and the entire country. On Tuesday morning, Graham called in to Scarborough’s show to describe Trump as “a xenophobic, race-baiting religious bigot.” That was by far the strongest language of any GOP candidate, and was entirely consistent with what Graham has said all along.\n\nYou will notice, of course, which of those guys presents a threat to Trump’s front-runner status and which is running a Don Quixote campaign to save the Republican Party’s soul. We keep pretending to be surprised by the current of ugly sentiment that Trump has ridden for months now, but the time for shock and disbelief is now over. Trump’s new plan to combat the Muslim menace overlapped on Monday with the news from France, where Marine Le Pen’s anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim National Front scored big gains in local and regional elections. One should not overstate the parallels; the European right and the American right are different creatures with different histories and major areas of divergence. (On Christianity, for instance.) But those events are hardly coincidental, and the obvious symbiotic relationship between them is deeply disturbing.\n\nI was an early adopter of the journalistic thesis that Trump and Bernie Sanders were closely related phenomena, and represented opposing faces of populist resistance to the failed politics of the Republicrat duopoly. That remains a valid analysis, to some limited extent, but my enraged Bernie-loving friends were right about its limitations. Trump’s gargoyle act isn’t funny or useful or “provocative” anymore, and his comic-opera portrayal of Benito Mussolini -- can you parody someone who was a parody in the first place? – is getting closer to the real thing with every passing day. Has Trump gone too far? It’s the wrong question. America has gone much too far down a dark road, and we don’t have a light or a map to find our way back.\n\n",[9,[355,[],0,[14,[-4839]]],[-355,[],0,134],[-355,[],0,135],[-355,[],0,185],[-355,[],0,186],[-355,[],0,546],[-355,[],0,547],[-355,[],0,1595],[-355,[],0,1596],[-355,[],0,2575],[-355,[],0,2576],[-355,[],0,3287],[-355,[],0,3288],[-355,[],0,4177],[-355,[],0,4178],[-355,[],0,5191],[-355,[],0,5192],[-355,[],0,5928],[-355,[],0,5929],[-355,[],0,6501],[-355,[],0,6502],[-355,[],0,7456],[-355,[],0,7457],[-355,[],0,8316],[-355,[],0,8317],[-355,[],0,9135],[-355,[],0,9136],[-355,[],0,9989],[-355,[],0,9990],[-355,[],0,10731],[-355,[],0,10732]],[9,[355,[],0,[14,[352,[0,[726,[],0,0]]]]]],[9,[355,[],0,[14,[-4934]]]],[9],[9,[355,[],38,[14,[357,[],[177,[3,0,5,[-436,[-1,[2,"88bf974abf98936a2f6a06f4cf29529e43724921","pasted-image-small.png"]],[0,256,144],3,[9]]],"75F1CD1F-80DF-425E-BBD1-CD17492C9B14",[197,[],[195,[],68.1884765625,80.19032287597656],[196,[],256.9427185058594,144.7564239501953],true,true,false,false,0],true,false,false,4,2,1,12,0.5,[-196,[]],false,false,[-436,[[2,"edfcebdc0ed86185acb0181cdf7db64e253f7601","pasted-image.png"]],[0,1136,640],3,[9]],[-1305],null,null,"M 0 0 L 1136 0 L 1136 640 L 0 640 Z M 0 0",[196,[],1136,640],false],0,-3.8115234375,0,-3.8096771240234375]]]],[9],[9],[9],[9,[355,[],0,[14,[553,[0,[4757,[],[9]]],"84042820-3096-42C3-9076-49B40D615350",[9,[552,[],[9],[9]],[552,[],[9],[9]],[552,[],[9],[9]]],"Section",true,false,false,false,0,0,1]]]],[9,[355,[],0,[14,[-192]]]],[9,[355,[],0,[14,[-352,[-1,1,[727,[],0]]]]]],[9],[9,[355,[],0,null],[355,[],133,[13,"en"]],[355,[],134,null],[355,[],175,[13,"en"]],[355,[],186,null]],[9],[9],[9],[9,[355,[],0,[14,[-352,[-2,2,[836,[],0]]]]]],0],[9],true]]" style="color: inherit;"><strong><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Trump's dark victory</span></strong>:</a><br />

Even Republicans are speaking out against the Donald's hateful Mussolini parody. But can the damage be undone?<br />
<br />
ANDREW O'HEHIR | December 08, 2015 20:00 in SALON <br />
<br />
It is time, brothers and sisters, to haul out the clichés because for once they are not unwarranted. For most of my adult lifetime, which extends well back into the 20th century, people on the American left have been complaining about the slow march toward fascism. Now we have reached the day when such expressions no longer feel like metaphorical overkill.<br />
<br />
When a purportedly major presidential candidate, leading in the polls less than two months before the first votes are cast, proposes that we keep people out of the country based entirely on their religion – well, it feels like apocalyptic science-fiction, as if we were all living inside “The Man in the High Castle,” but I can only conclude that the moment to stand up and be counted is upon us. This is the moment to draw a line in the political sand and the moment to observe that it can happen here. It’s the moment to ask yourself whose side you’re on, and the moment to observe that those who would sacrifice essential liberty for the sake of temporary safety will get neither. Would you have spoken out in Germany in 1933, or 1936, or 1939, risking your own safety and that of your family, or would you have kept on going with your head down? It is time for those questions too, and also for the one that U.S. Army chief counsel Joseph N. Welch famously asked Sen. Joseph McCarthy in 1954: “Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?”<br />
<br />
We don’t have to ask that question about Donald Trump, whose chief selling point has been his thoroughgoing lack of decency, along with his complete disconnection from political reality, legal plausibility and rational discourse. But all those questions apply with bitter and urgent relevance, however, to the rest of us. Trump, c’est nous -- or at least it is we who have created him and enabled his outrages. Now we face Victor Frankenstein’s problem: Having unleashed evil upon the world, largely because we wanted to see what would happen, how do we unmake the monster or undo his deeds? Win or lose, as Heather Digby Parton has noted, Trump has left his reeking polecat stench on American politics. From now on, the wholesale deportation of all immigrants, or the exclusion and persecution of all adherents to a particular faith, are mainstream political positions and not just the province of white supremacists with weird beards and multicolored Geocities-style websites.<br />
<br />
Trump dropped his latest xenophobic bombshell on Monday, quite likely in response to a dip in his Iowa poll numbers, by suggesting that all Muslims should be barred from entering the United States “until we get ahold of what’s going on.” Here’s one thing that’s going on: We should not dignify such a blatantly unconstitutional piece of rhetorical pandering by calling it a “proposal” or even an “idea.” It’s more like a masturbatory fantasy for the disempowered Trumpian demographic, a little blue pill of super-concentrated hate that will take us back to a magic land of full employment for white people, where campus radicals and transgender people will disappear and black lives demonstrably do not matter.<br />
<br />
Has Trump finally gone too far? Well, by now we ought to understand that’s a stupid question. His job is to go too far, and to drag the rest of us along with him, inch by inch. Everyone who wants to be seen as respectable in politics and media and any other arena of public life has backed away from Trump’s latest policy brain-fart in pearl-clutching horror, including most but not quite all of the other Republican presidential candidates.

Privatization of the US Prison System<br />
<br />

Privatization of the US Prison System. An Infographic from <a href="http://www.arrestrecords.com/"> ArrestRecords.com </a><br />
<br />
So far private prisons only account for just under 8% of the total in 2011 (it was about 5% in 1999) according to these figures. <br />
<br />
I guess profit overrides all other considerations in the private system. As a cheap source of labour and the involvement of corporate America, it makes me think that the privatization of the US Prison System will continue to grow and that it will be sold as a good thing.<br />

This trip to Brunei certainly began on the wrong foot with my passport problems which, as I discovered today, are not over. Even though I am in Brunei, our planned trips to Malaysia and Singapore are now in jeopardy because of my passport expiry problems. I am now trying to see if the Canadian High Commission here in Brunei can help.<br />
<br />
And to add injury to insult so-to-speak, last night I tripped over a metal drain cover in the utility room and suffered a very nasty gash between toes on my right foot. Had to go to a local medical centre where the doctor and the duty staff could not get it to stop bleeding (a small blood vessel had been severed). They had to call in a surgeon who finally got the thing to stop bleeding and then stitched it all up. So, now I am on antibiotics and hobbling around with one good foot and with a wallet lighter by some $1200 (which I trust my medical insurance will cover).<br />
<br />
This morning I was to have a game of golf but that is now going to have to wait.<br />
<br />
Well . . . at least it is not snowing.<br />

Once again, Cathie and I are in route to Brunei. I can never seem to get the whole Brunei emigration control business right. The last time we visited there were a few days we could not get out of the country because of a <a href="http://russramblings.blogspot.com/2011/10/illegal.html" target="_blank">visa violation</a> . This time, on route in Toronto, I was almost refused a boarding pass because of a problem with my passport.<br />
<br />
Now there is absolutely nothing wrong with my passport. The problem is that it expires on 9 June 2014, which is exactly 1 day less than 6 months on the day I was in Toronto standing at the Cathay Pacific check-in counter. Something I was totally unaware of is that Brunei has a rule that a passport must have at least 6 months before expiry to be valid for entry. I was one day short and therefore my passport was, according the Cathay Pacific employee standing in front of me, not valid. Even though I had sent my passport to the Bruneian High Commission in Ottawa and had their visa stamp authorizing my visit, this somewhat overly scrupulous check-in clerk said she could not issue me a boarding pass.<br />
<br />
I was crushed!<br />
<br />
After much negotiation with a supervisor and their calls to somewhere (Hong Kong I think) they finally agreed to let me on their aircraft to Hong Kong. But this was only after I signed a waiver saying that I would not hold Cathay Pacific responsible for flying with them while knowing that I might not be able to continue my journey to Brunei. I was very relieved to be getting on the flight but also very worried. What if Royal Brunei Airlines, our next carrier, picked up on the same issue. Throughout that entire flight from Toronto to Hong Kong my head was just full of worst case scenarios. I had visions of being stuck in Hong Kong's airport just like the Tom Hanks character played in the movie 'The Terminal'. I had also alerted my daughter and son-in-law of the problem and they made calls to their contacts in Brunei in anticipation that I might be refused boarding. Eventually, in Hong Kong, Cathie and I were very nervous individuals as we approached the Royal Brunei Airline check-in counter.<br />
<br />
As it turned out, that check-in process went without a hitch and we arrived in Brunei on schedule. Immigration in Brunei (the people who would really have had a problem with my passport if there was one) also processed us without comment. All-in-all, that check-in person in Toronto and my imagination were the cause of all my angst.<br />
<br />
All is well now and we are in Brunei blissfully getting to know our grandkids again.<br />

When I retired I promised myself that I would try to get as many summers of golf as my interest and health would permit. Well, I am still interested and I am still healthy and my 12th summer of golf is winding down. Our spring was miserable but after mid-July the weather has been great. I have played just over 125 games since April. I usually have my camera with me and take lots of pictures while trekking around the course. The day before yesterday I managed to get a picture of something we do not see often at Hartlen Point - an eagle! I took this picture just off the 4th green while the bird was watching us make our putts. Looks like he was not impressed with our performance.<br />

On Twitter I have been following (soon to be) Space Station Commander Chris Hadfield (@Cmdr_Hadfield) and I am so impressed with the work that he is doing up on the International Space Station (ISS). He has been posting incredible images every day of this beautiful planet of ours. He has also been posting videos showing us the work that is going on up there and just what it is like to live in space. He is a truly gifted communicator.<br />
<br />
And that is not all. He can sing! Just look at this video which was produced just recently while he is on the ISS.<br />

Is there no end to the talents of this great Canadian?<br />

I just read an article in the online magazine "AEON" concerning what has to be the impossible position that Israel is now in with regard to immigration, the settlements, and the treatment of its Palestinian citizens.<br />
<br />
This is a link to it: <a href="http://www.aeonmagazine.com/living-together/rachel-shabi-israel-purity/" target="_blank">The Wrong Side of the Fence</a> <br />
<br />
It is a powerful and insightful article. The last paragraph is a good summery:<br />
<br />
<div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><em>"An entrenched self-perpetuating narrative has taken hold in Israel, whereby everyone is against Israel and, even though the country is trying its best, it is surrounded by hostility. Because it turns out — and we could have guessed — being sealed off doesn’t make Israelis feel any safer; all it does is amplify suspicion and insecurity. All it does is provide the perfect breeding ground for hatred and intolerance and racism. It stunts thought, narrows horizons, and inhibits cultural and critical development by severing a crucial, life-giving, mind-expanding exposure to difference. Separation is a daily, crippling nightmare for the outsider group. Yet it is a disaster ofa different sort for those who have chosen to close themselves off, inside a sterile zone". - Rachel Shabi</em></blockquote> </div>AncientMarinerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13628004371544267213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10943608.post-32141863769738068472012-11-09T14:42:00.000-04:002013-02-15T08:40:08.666-04:00America Is Sane!<span style="color: white;">.</span><br />

The whole tortured process and the cast of characters seem to be more the stuff of of an epic HBO series than real life. So, for over a year now I have been following with great fascination these machinations that ended with Tuesday's presidential elections.<br />
<br />
The Democrats already had Barak Obama as their candidate, so it was the Republican candidate selection ordeal where the initial drama was occurring. And what a bunch of wing-nuts those candidates proved to be. The Republican Party seemed to be devoid of moderation. Their prevailing ideology seemed to be extreme right wing, ultra conservative, fanatically Christian, and strongly xenophobic. It seemed their outlook was firmly entrenched in the 19th century where, if they had their way in this century, all Americans would be packing iron. And last summer, after months of invidious campaigning by most candidates, Mitt Romney emerged as the Republican presidential hopeful.<br />
<br />
Amazing . . . at least from my perspective. As an atheist, I have have a problem with any belief system based on some supernatural guy in the sky that nobody has ever seen. That an individual who wears magic underwear and believes in a history of his country which has no bearing in fact is selected by the Republican Party to be their presidential candidate was, to me, simply bizarre.<br />
<br />
In the months after the Democratic and Republican conventions the news coverage indicated that the race was very close. Indeed, after the first Obama/Romney debate and a strong showing by Romney, he was considered by many to have captured the initiative and some polls indicated he had the lead. Republicans were ecstatic and right up until the night of the election most thought a new president was about to be elected. I have to admit, that as this drama was unfolding, I was beginning to despair. <br />
<br />
Well, my respect for the American voter increased considerably on 6 November with both an electoral college and popular vote win by Barack Obama . While I believe there has been disappointment with the way that Obama performed in his first term, a majority of Americans have rejected what Mitt Romney was offering. Most the world outside of the US heaved a sigh of relief that Barack Obama will continue in office (except in Pakistan apparently, where I gather people liked Romney for some unfathomable reason). Given the mindset of the far right, I expect the conspiracy theorists will be hard at work to come up with a plot of how the Democrats stole the election.<br />
<br />
So its back to grind then for Obama. I am happy that he won but he still has a Republican dominated House of Representatives with which to contend and massive fiscal problems to be resolved if America is to make a sustained economic recovery. Hopefully some kind of compromise will be attained, although, if the last four years are any measure, Republican intransigence will be Obama's biggest hurtle.AncientMarinerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13628004371544267213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10943608.post-21557808041304318722012-09-30T01:07:00.001-03:002012-09-30T01:12:43.292-03:00Photoshopped!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
My son, James, this summer attended a wedding in which he was standing. All of the wedding party had to dress for the occasion and for the men it meant a hat, gloves, cane, coat with tails and a distinctive red vest to set it all off. When I saw that picture of James this summer, it reminded me of another time when he was all dressed up and in a red vest. That was back in 1981 when he was three years old. And I had a picture of that.<br />
<br />
Well I just had to put the two images together and this is the result. Cathie calls it James and Mini-Me. In any case it is the totally surreal picture of the 34 year old James standing with his 3 year old self.<br />

In the sea of waste that pervades much of the internet there are a few neat applications that are little gems of cleverness and fun. This is one of them. As part of a promotion for a new TV series on BBC America call "Copper", on their web site they have included an application which allows you to upload a picture of yourself to create a "mugshot" which is digitally adjusted to make it look like it was taken in 1864.<br />
<br />
This picture is my 1864 mugshot. I think it looks totally authentic (other than the fact that there is a full head of hair). I was trying to look as sinister as possible. Neat Stuff.<br />

I had the pleasure and honour of being invited to Hartlen Point's 50th Anniversary Celebrations. I had a great time and met some of the few remaining chartered members. Needless to say, I brought my camera with me.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
I also made a movie of the after dinner speeches made by Rod Lyons and Larry Ashley which I have uploaded to YouTube. Forgive me for the quality of the sound, but there are some limitations to my camera and the cameraman. It comes in two parts.<br />
