Dear Readers,
This is Doug, not Harry. I usually post on my blog (Lasken's Log at https://laskenlog.blogspot.com/) but technical problems forced me to post on Harry's for a while. Keep reading and you'll come again to Harry's realm.
Don't be afraid to feel like a character in a science fiction story, because that's what you are. In this story, a New York shyster takes the presidency, undermines all of the country: rural areas, national parks, cities - in my case Los Angeles, attacking schools, social structures, economies and self-esteem - and works as well to undermine the rest of the world. If you're a science fiction fan, you know what's next : Wars of the World, disguised as expressions of history and destiny that are in fact cover stories obstructing the real unfolding history: our transition from homo sapiens to AI powered, genetically engineered quasi-humans.
You can call this scenario a science fiction story, or, if you're brave, a conspiracy theory. We’ve been trained to attach a negative connotation to “conspiracy theory,” but you can tout this one, because it's true. Trump, at the moment, is the outward force of the conspiracy, paving the way for acolytes to make fortunes beyond Midas' dreams, and downfall for the rest.
We need a new political entity to modify this conspiracy's vision, but such an entity does not seem forthcoming from the familiar poltitical parties, the Democrats and Republicans. The decent Congresspeople - the ones who are not just pretending to push back against Trump - have slim chances without much more support from their colleagues, and three more years is more than enough for Trump to wreck the planet.
