The wondrous expanded connection to the world promised by small screen 50's T.V. is todays WEF/big tech/surveillance state horror. The depression filled anxiety ridden electronic chasm that tortures numbs and splits the psyche of American youth is a manufactured "gain of function" virus. Its purpose is to create spiritual and intellectual anomie and to make a profit doing it. It is in short: Soul murder.

It is a drug. The addiction is transparent. How many young people do you know who cannot live in their own skins without constant access to electronic or social media? Who, cannot sit in simple conversation, enjoy a meal with family or sit quietly and read a book? Or, whose identity and psyche has not been brutalized by the "woke" minions of totalitarian finance? How many "big tech" execs have you heard say that they do not allow their children on social media?

History is a living breathing reality. Removing statues of Lee or Grant does not change the fact that their lives are directly connected to our own. The terrorism cloaked in the false concern and morality of banning Twain or Steinbeck is merely an object lesson in power and an assault on Consciousness. Remember when the Patriot Act allowed the surveillance state to open the door to the intimidation of librarians. Do we remember the names of the women who stood up against it? As I recall it took weeks to burn the knowledge contained in the Library of Alexandria. Most youth today can not tell you who Grant, Lee, Twain or Steinbeck are.

With great effort we may be able to regain control of our Constitutional Republic and I sincerely believe subscription journalism can help power that possibility. But, continuing to believe that electronic space and time hasn't been weaponized by venal criminals and we haven't been poisoned by the drug is no different than the heroin addict sure he knows where the line is.

In both cases you can end up dead.

GOT CONSTITUTION?
