Feelin' nearly faded as my genes
Longevity is a weird experience. I never expected it, and now it's here, very few people respect it any more. We live in a casually ageist era.
One wonderful thing that comes with a 78th year of life is the wisdom of retaining a sense of humour in the face of predictable species vanity, inanity and insanity. So sit back and enjoy a few paragraphs of harmless amusement:
From Arkansas via Aberdeen to Adelaide, the World held it's breath yesterday on hearing that the deadlock in Concrete commodity futures remains unresolved.
Ace CNN analyst Wily Catwood writes, 'China has been the leading concrete exporter for over a decade, and its production is 55.4% of the global total so it is obviously unacceptable for Putin the Mad Megalomaniac to defend his shifty slant-eyed allies in Wuhan-sur-Beijing whose drive towards a world covered in concrete - thus doubling the concrete CO2 Bigfootprint - is the biggest single contributor to Climate Change formerly known as Global Warming which can no longer be denied by anyone beyond delusional conspiracy theorists of very low intelligence'.
"Without a concrete deal, the world will be in difficultate magna" said White House press secretary Karoline Epstein-List [no relation] "and so that's why The President is working very hard to get a deal guaranteeing the US Intelligence State's domination of the Italian-American Concrete Overshoes market".
Today, former US Secretary of State John Kerry fuelled the ecological concrete threat debate with his assertion in the Washington Post that "Chinese concrete's gigantic mass will push Planet Earth out of kilter with the Sun by 9.57 pm on February 30th 2026 and bring doom to all life here unless we all vote Democrat, preferably backdated to 2016".
Meanwhile, back on Planet Reality...
The genes you get to inherit dictate almost everything. We are constantly badgered by Pharma-Health interests to lead a life of self-control as opposed to excess. But let's take a look at a Rolling Stone...
...81 years old this year - the indominatable Keith Richards - still with us despite reckless indulgence in almost every mind-altering substance you could imagine.
Genes dictate everything. They are your inheritance - and no amount of money can change that. My childhood sweetheart died at 58 from the same cancer-prone gene that killed her mother and her brother.
My own mother's family all died young from a vaginal cancer gene. My father, uncle and brother died of Alzheimer's...a genetic curse carried by my paternal Irish grandmother.
And yes, as I potter with a degree of reticence towards the ninth decade, I really am feeling nearly faded as my genes. For my genes dictate that I will probably keep going until the tenth decade, yet be completely gaga well before then. This is the millstone that Big Pharma monopolists cannot address....because they exist to make money, not make you well again.
But species cultural genes are, in the final analysis, what truly wear me out. For Man the voyager, Man the discrerning Thinker, Man the Universal enquirer and Man the Consequences predictor is being ruthlessly censored by the anti-social Four per cent power freaks, and ignored by the obedient Sixty per cent.
In the US, in my own British NWO-friendly homeland - and equally so in the dictatorial European Union bloc - there is a growing addiction to acceptance, compliance and narcissistic distraction.
We are stuck in the Age of the 'De' prefix
This is what I observe on a daily basis:
Debauched politicians urging austerity
Decadent sexuality selling New Normal
Delusional rationales for Unrepayable sovereign debt
Depraved Civil Servants stealing from the Citizenry
Derelict provision of health care and open-minded education
Demonising media bought by Blackrocks
Devious use of AI to disguise accountability
Deceit as the response to every complaint
DemiGods whose answer to every problem is genocidal War
Final parting observation today:
DON'T GIVE UP, WAKE UP
Enjoy your Sunday
