Is Donald Trump Invading Your Dreams?

Other dictators are available,
and many more from times past
would be be ecstatic to relive their glory,
long since gone, through your nightly discomfort.

You decide how much they remain sane
when through you they explore
their faded delusions of grandeur,
with what you remember, first thing
in the morning when you first awake
with a pen and paper to hand.

Here and now seems to be an apt time
to explore the reseach of Charlotte Beradt
into the dreams of citizens living under
the rule of Third Reich between1933-39.

Thankfully the BBC have made a handy
thirty minute audio documentary about it.
Please find said radio progtramme here.

For those looking for the written start,
please go to Amazon to find out the more
written about this genuine research,
but having stopped by there feel free
to look elsewhere, to find the book,
when it is availabe in so many other places,

Well, Hello There....

No Easy Exit

I have lost count of the number
of world leaders who have dominated
the media that I have found acceptable
to me, that edits the news well.

As soon as these leaders have started wars
they have found they could only end them
through being far more brutal than they suggested
they would be, which is when they put the 'bullet'
into 'bulletin' with the aggression with which
they speak to a media they have made pliant
to their message, their personal echo chamber
which I only recieve selectively, second hand.

The wars continue without any prospect
of a clean, or even acceptably dirty, exit. 

I know what comes next.

Economic displacement in countries at peace,
at home at least. They won't want the refugees
who are fleeing the wars that they have started,
with allies they have backed who consider it
to be beneath them to sort out the mess,
and consequences of what they started..... 

On World Book Day

I would like to commend to readers the above title,
as a memoir, a story of terror and secret empathy,
and a story of desperate survival against all odds.
.above all these two books are warning to the future,
though any attempt at repeating the concentration camp
experience will creep up on the nation that tries it
under new names as if to disguise its return.   

 

The Sky Is The Limit

for World War III - the sky
is where the war will start from
and as the weather rains bombs
onto every inhabitant of distant lands
we will soon understand how man-made
global warming was always going to be
and how lethal man-made heat will remain,
long after there is no-one left to witness it.

So much time will have to pass for the humans,
along with so many fewer species that are left,
to survey the damage and so how to be at home with it.

The Ontological* Approach To War

As World War III, the new war from the air,
lands on the ground below in many countries,
using AI supported drones where no human
that we know of is in control of where they land,
and where there was no declaration of intent,
because such clarity might limit AI's ambitions,
the world is facing hitherto unknown unknowns
on scales where we don't know how to calculate.
What is real that the common citizen cannot be told:
The point of the war, if it has any point at all,
is that it is an exercise with advanced new weaponry
that exceeds all previous limits on warfare
more than all previous total wars combined,
more totally than the starters of the war understand.

*Ontological meaning taking an argument
further than it has gone before, as far as it
will go, to see how far it can be made to go.
