KOREA: ‘DEJA VFUBAR’ ALL OVER AGAIN

OK, so I have coined the phrase ‘Vfubar’: Very Fuggered Up Beyond All Recognition.

Today, North Korea threatened to bomb us.

Seems I remember hearing uncles, cousins etc, talking about this place – not to mention a TV show you MAY have seen (in it’s 12 years or so of running) that discussed the area.

As I recall, there was not a huge difference in this ‘conflict’ and the one in Vietnam. The one that, course, was my generations’ duty to learn what 'snafu' meant.

You may have heard about them. These conflicts left millions of Americans dead, wounded, disabled, mentally destroyed, or covered in Agent Orange (so they would die slowly and painfully 20 to 30 years later).

You had to have heard about it, right? It was in ALL the papers!

The ‘conflicts’; not able to easily recognize the ‘enemy’, the insanity of fighting by the rules against a society that HAS no rules (except to kill us).

Of course, the leader there is SO different now. In those days, there was a Dictator involved, that was ‘Iron-Fisted’, had absolute zero respect for human life (other than his own), and would go to any lengths to win, by any means.

Oh, wait.

Pretty much the same EXCEPT – this one has nukes. And did I mention – they threatened today to bomb us?

I want you all to look up and listen to a song by the Kingston Trio, called “The Merry Minuet” released back in 1958,

Let me say it again – 1958 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, FIFTY-ONE years ago!

It all still applies: the same conflicts, same countries, same stupid ideas for solutions, same potential destruction.

We just do NOT seem to learn a thing. We always seem to think we are smarter, and know more than previous generations, and former societies, So we are forced to face yet another degenerate, demented, disgusting, despicable, despot who has drifted into ruling a ‘Demonacracy’ (country ruled by a demon).

And THIS one has Nukes.

Holy Moly, read my post about ‘Czars’ where I describe the futility of “Duck and Cover”. Then read the one “Diplomacy Vs Violence” about dealing with this kind of monster.

When in the hell will we learn ("Where have all the Flowers gone?" Look it one up too-Dylan).

War is evil. War is horrific.

But war that ‘dances around the idea of war’ is simply a way to destroy the very fiber, and backbone of our country.

If we MUST fight – then damn it – FIGHT! Get it over with.

This “THEY’ in the world, will not stop unless destroyed.; permanently, completely, and publicly.

American Czars- Are you KIDDING ME?????

For over 50 years, we had a cold war ……………..Many you have no clue what that meant. But I remember, and I am only 55.

I remember people building ’bomb shelters’. Barely underground, stocked with maybe a months worth of fruits and vegetables, and a single cot. I remember being told how to protect myself, and practicing the technique of “Duck and Cover”.

Think hard and long about that.

Age 5 to 18, ……………….kids …………. Told that in the event of a nuclear bomb, all we had to do was duck under our wooden desks, put our hands over our heads, and we would be safe………………………….. OUR Government told us that – our parents, teachers and ministers, re-enforced the truth in it, as they were led to believe.

We all believed.

And the word ‘Czar', was the title used for a Russian Leader – the enemy – the ones that would send this bomb.

Yet now today, we have Czars in America, No one seems to know the true count – 14, 16, maybe 20?

OK OK OK - I know that isnt their 'official' title. But as they say, if it walks like a duck etc.

The very idea is insulting, and fearsome. But look at what they are, and how they got there. Like the rulers of Russia, they have power; but from here, and what authority?

They can ‘make rules’, ‘establish ‘edits’, and ‘make policy’. But the President does not HAVE that authority to give them!

Those 'create' laws – which can only be established by Congress!

That places them ABOVE the Cabinet. A Cabinet, that is ‘recommended’ by the President, but is ALSO Investigated (vetted), and APPROVED by Congress!!!!!


Ah – but see – Czars are not covered in the law, or tort, or the constitution …….. so no one, OTHER than the Pres – decides.

In all my years, I have never been so afraid of ANY government ……………. And it is ours that terrifies me!
