I watched the 1973 film “Soylent Green” a couple of days ago. It’s incredible how much predictive programming is in that film. It’s like a Club of Rome wet dream for everything that’s happening now. Masks and climate change and food scarcity figure prominently. Yes, I’ve seen it many times before. But it just seemed more poignant in light of everything that’s occurring now.

I think when talking about the 'left' we are talking mainly about white, middle class people who live relatively privileged lives and count on the government taking care of their real interests. Of course they are delusional but that is what the 'lollipops' given them are designed to do. They have been given access to education good jobs with benefits, ability to buy homes and cars and raise their kids with relative comfort. I stood with such people today in vigil against the Gaza genocide but almost everyone there would turn their back on me if I talked about opposing the lies about Covid and the killing protocols imposed on people that are killing people daily.There is a great disconnect but it has been carefully designed and implemented for years and done so very successfully. But those on the Right are equally crazed trusting a criminal they turned into an idol who represents everything they claim to oppose---he is the the swamp! And so many on the Right support the genocide as they are Christian Zionists who look for the destruction of the people of Palestine and Israel so they can move in for their salvation. In fact I have read there are infinitely more Christian Zionists than Jewish ones just going to show how confused people are about who is pushing what agenda.
