They say everything dies. When you’re young you generally don’t think about it much, if at all. When you’re older you start to see it coming closer. You start to see that everything does die and days are numbered. If death was something abstract and way off in the distance – you know, like Mars is out there but way out there in outer space – as death gets numerically and statistically closer it becomes more and more real, more concrete.
Some people will get the allusion in the title of this piece. Some people, most I fear, won’t. Probably many kiddos educated in today’s American public education system won’t know what an allusion is. After all, knowing what allusion is isn’t practical, won’t get you anything tangible. That’s good for them since when they bring up Jim Crow those people won’t have a clue about it and will believe them, which is precisely what they wanted and exactly why the title of this piece is so appropriate.
America, the USA, is the Norma Jean in the title.
They make it complicated. But it is really simple.
They speak with forked tongue and act with sleight of hand.
In his whatever-you-thought-of-it whispers not too long ago, Biden whispered that we’ll be getting substantial checks for child credit in the mail starting in July.
What Biden didn’t say was that that money won’t then be there for us come tax time next year.
If you actually pay taxes, which only about half of us do, your refund will be significantly less since you’ve gotten the child tax credit in advance. If you don’t pay any taxes at all your earned tax income profit from the Feds this year will be significantly lessened.
Sleight of hand: getting the child tax credit sounded good in that whisper, if a little creepy at the same time, but it won’t be good in the end for most people, and that’s mostly the people who really need the money or can’t handle money or have no sense of saving money for needed goods. In the end they will end up more needy.
We are living in evil times.
Our enemies are continually strengthening.
Here at home we have a Manchurian Candidate president and a laughing hyena vice president who is incompetent at best.
They are being “run,” not guided or led, by a greedy, power-hungry political party that is in cahoots with globalist multi-billionaires who control our media and our technology. Or, that party in conjunction with those greedy multi-billionaires feed us false narratives only to enrich and empower themselves.
It is really simple.
Capitalism, Democracy, police, white supremacy and systemic racism are not to blame here. They are straw issues presented by them continually to divide and subterfuge us.
Greedy, power-hungry technology and media multi-billionaires with global personal economic interests have gotten into bed with greedy, power-hungry politicians on the left. The demise of America is in their best interests, not the best interests of the 99% of regular Americans.
So Good-Bye Norma Jean.
Kudos to Barack Obama who has accomplished what he said he would, the fundamental change of America.
Nobody said it would be a good change, even a change for the better.
America is on its deathbed, so Good-Bye Norma Jean.
