Laurence-

So thank you also. I guess the trick is to believe in yourself, and to encourage other folks to believe in themselves. One thing I can say, and wh/I'm v. happy abt: I stuck to my guns, often at great personal and financial cost. Anyone who does this in the face of a society that wants them to conform is going to be pretty much alone, alienated and isolated. Well, fuck a duck. I have 8 close friends, wh/I guess is decent enuf. I told them all that I'm going to have business cards printed up, that will simply say:

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL I TOLERATE HORSE MANURE!

Perhaps a gd motto for Waferdom in general.

Onward!

Time for a new president, of course, but maybe time for a new girlfriend as well. But I enjoyed the joke. Two things to keep in mind at all times:

1.The country is fucked.

2.Your fellow-citizens are buffoons.

That's all you need to know. (Besides the fact that I was saying as much in 2000).

Two quotes from George Carlin:

"Think how dumb the 'average' person is, then realize half are dumber than that."

"If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're gonna get selfish, ignorant leaders."

And yet, literally all political commentators ignore a key factor in our decline, that I've been talking abt since the yr 2000 (because it's politically incorrect to mention it): Americans have shit for brains. They are total buffoons.

As I've mentioned on numerous occasions: I stand in the tradn of H.L. Mencken, Gore Vidal, and George Carlin, who were not afraid to say this out loud. The US is a turkey nation w/turkey people in it. Duh!

Wafers-

I think it fair to say that the US is finally heading down into the Abyss. At this pt, what future cd we possibly have? A demented leader, w/advisers who are little more than jokes. Also a leader duped by Israel, into a war w/o purpose, or exit strategy. We're fucked, end of story.

Wafers-

On several occasions, I've talked abt 2 major tectonic shifts taking place. The 1st of these was the movement of power (economic and political) from West to East. (Mao Zedong predicted this ca. 1970.) Leaving the whole issue of BRICS aside, the war w/Iran is very telling in this regard, because America will be defeated. In that sense, Iran is in the vanguard of this tectonic shift. Trumpola will eventually declare a US victory, and somehow get out of the mess he created; but no one will be fooled, least of all the Iranians. Another thing I've talked abt is Trumpalumpi as History's agent, as a "world historical individual." This seems pretty obvious, as he is wrecking the US and damaging the West in general. That History's agent proved to be a demented buffoon comes as a surprise, perhaps, but History is neutral on this issue. It is not, however, neutral on the issue of our collapse, wh/is a forgone conclusion by now. Trumpi, demented or not, will push forward with the escalation of this war, but clearly, time is on Iran's side. Our days are numbered, over and out.

ps: check this out:

This video actually uses the phrase "tectonic shift," with respect to Iran shooting down 6 US fighter jets. So here we have it: the movement of political/military power from West to East. The US has denied this, but the videos don't lie. Step by step, w/Iran in the vanguard, the energy is draining from America and moving toward Iran/Russia/China/India/Islamic nations. I am of course annoyed that no mention was made of my repeated discussions of the tec shift, but I'll settle for the fact that at least, it's happening. For the time being, that is. In future, perhaps they'll cite their sources.

Hey, a true Christian, no doubt abt it.

(Also a rancid bag of douche fluid)

ps2: Well, what can I tell you? I predicted the collapse of the American empire in 2000. At that time, to my knowledge, only Gore Vidal and myself were using the word "empire," let alone that it was going to collapse. Political commentators, alleged "experts," mostly, had their heads in their rumps and were rolling around like donuts (op-ed writers at the NYT, for example). I didn't actually use the word "buffoons," tho it was implied (I suggested that the avg American had chopped liver in his head). Of course, I cdn't have anticipated that a future president wd be clinically insane, not to mention a total douchebag, and surrounded by a collection of trashy, incompetent morons, endlessly fucking up. I cdn't have anticipated the amt of corruption that wd prevail, 20+ yrs later. Nor did I discuss the concept of "imperial overstretch," wh/did the Roman empire in, and is now happening to us (my bad). And now that all this has occurred, we can watch America going down the slide, beating off into oblivion. The whole world knows that the US is little more than a joke. Karma w/a capital K, my friends.

ps3: What is also so striking is that America never learns from its mistakes; it just keeps repeating them. A # of observers have commented on how this is Vietnam all over again. Not to mention Iraq, Afghanistan, and in fact all of the Cold War (wh/cost us $8 trillion in 1967 dollars). There are no adults in the rm, so to speak, and to its dying day (2030 or b4), America will never wake up. Toynbee wrote that civilizations go under by committing suicide, and that observation holds true for us, today.

Wafers-

Do any of you speak Farsi (the language of Iran)? If so, do you know how to say sleazebag and douchebag in that language? If so, pls send these words to the Iranian gov't, and encourage it to use them when referring to Trumpalumpi.

Friends tried to console me, but I was sobbing hysterically.

I kept waiting for yr Amazon review of "Thoughts for a Rainy Day." Weeks went by, no review. Finally I sat on my couch and cried for 3 hrs. Not kidding.

ps: Tulsi von Schmutzi!

(Schmutz = dirt, in German)

Rumor: Tulsi is abt to resign.

Rumor #2: A contingent of Wafers are flying to DC, to pee on her shoes.

Tulsi von Scumbag:

How does she live w/herself? But in any case, we now know what Tulsism is: spewing evasive bullshit when yr cornered in lies and contradictions. My desire to barf on her head has never been stronger. However, at this pt, we need to hear from Nikki von Schmikki. Nor do I think it wd be a bad idea to send Lauren Boebert overseas to administer two-handed handjobs to both Iranian and American troops, for wh/she is justly famous, to calm them down.

Sicilian: Cu nasci tunnu non po moriri pisci spata.

Italian: Chi nasce tonno non puo morire pesce spada.

English: One who is born a tuna cannot die a swordfish.

Wafers: Do you agree w/this?

As you all know, I'm proud of my short poems. I think I posted this one sometime last year:

"The Buffoon Level is high;

Someday, it may reach the sky."
