Hezbollah: A Real-Life 1984
I wrote this piece on my blog on November 27, 2013. I felt it needs to be reshared today in light of what's happening in Lebanon.

With all the hype played up by the media concerning the vaccine to eradicate Covid-19 there remains concerning questions about the actual long range affects and how successful is this vaccine in stopping the spread of this very deadly virus. There is a distinct probability of more mutations stemming from this one Covid-19 virus that very few are addressing. We have already seeing the very deadly results of what this virus is doing. The United States continues to record record number of infections and deaths just within the past two months. And, yet the Trump Administration and the Republican led Congress have long since played with peoples lives and livelihoods by not taking direct and concise action to mitigate the spread of Covid-19 and to usher in the much needed financial aid to curtail what is becoming an catastrophic humanitarian catastrophe.

Our Country has become a people of spoiled, entitled and frankly a nation of ungrateful whiny Adults. Children knows right from wrong, bad from good, black and white, but as of today, us Adults choose to vote against the interests of themselves and others. Why are we so afraid of Healthcare for all? Why are we afraid of "Black lives matter"? Why are us Christians hateful towards follower's of Muhammad?

Written by TJ Hyland - December 11, 2020 An email hit my inbox this morning titled, “bad news (re. Electoral College),” but when I opened it up, it read more like a threat, telling me I had better take action now! It’s from the DNC. I always read these to see what tactics they’re using on the sheeple these days. This one is about abolishing the electoral college, and it reads, “This is a hard email to write. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and John Oliver. Everyone warned you… But we’re about to miss our major $15,000 fundraising deadline for the Abolish the Electoral College Fund. And sadly, we just checked… Progressive donations are PLUMMETING!!! If we CAN’T raise the remaining $9,391 for our Abolish the Electoral College Fund, then we will HAND Republicans a HUGE victory. REMEMBER: Republicans NEED the Electoral College to win…”

My Friends, It may or may not be hard for you to believe, but we are now a year into COVID-19. It was first discovered last December in Wuhan China. Since then nearly 300 thousand people have lost their lives with close to 20 million lives directly impacted; just inside the proverbial walls of these states united. Then we have the remaining 320 million.

Parts of our society rely on a hierarchy of inequality to maintain exploitation. Subordination as a concept is part of the problem.

I remember the first time it happened. I was sitting in a booth with a friend, and eating pasta when an older man approached our table. I looked up when he cleared his throat, and before I could say anything he just smiled at me.
Neal LitherlandPublished 3 years ago in The SwampOpinion: American Politicians Are Failing During the Pandemic
We need direction. Clear, consistent, agreed upon direction and we need it sooner than yesterday. World leaders are struggling to keep the infections down; meanwhile, the US is struggling to keep its healthcare system afloat and the population with food and shelter. As the food banks become overwhelmed and the ICU capacity dwindles to its lowest availability since the start of the pandemic, we see one thing very clearly: Nobody knows what the hell is going on.
