Because I felt the urgency of the situation, this essay is also posted on my other blog, Lasken's Log @ https://laskenlog.blogspot.com/). D.L.
Don't be afraid to sound like a character in a science fiction story - that's what you are. In this story, a New York shyster has taken the presidency and is undermining the whole country: rural areas, national parks, cities - in my case Los Angeles - attacking schools, social structures, economies and self-esteem, and doing the same to the rest of the world. If you're a science fiction fan, you know what's next (especially after Trump bombed Iran): Wars of the World, disguised to look like expressions of history and destiny, but in fact intended to distract attention from the real unfolding history: transition away from homo sapiens to an AI powered genetically engineered semi-human race.
You can be proud of your conspiracy theory, because it's right. Trump, at the moment, is the outward force of it, paving the way for acolytes to make fortunes beyond Midas' dreams, and dust for the rest. We need a political force to combat this, but it doesn't seem forthcoming from conventional sources. California governor Newsom, for instance, though a decent person, does not know what he's up against, and four years is all it will take to wreck the place.
