Garner Isn't

Weaponizing Patronage. Avarice and greed can lead to self destruction. It may have become our fate. It's an illness that has befallen us. It breeds mistrust in what is told us. We still think our values are what the rest of the world will follow. But that isn't going to work anymore. We may have a powerful military but that can't defend us from our own failed expectations as a people. Our manifest...

We the Destroyers. Can you trust what you're being told by politicians? Well you have to understand what motivates them. They're not being held accountable for the 20 year war in Afghanistan. But don't worry, profits were made during those 20 years. People got rich producing all those weapons for it. War's big business and it's especially not cheap lasting 20 years. Politicians don't want you to t...

Our Politicians. Don't let anyone try to convince you we have a democracy in this country. It's run by something else. If you think politics is a noble business you misunderstand the underbelly of corruption. Those who reach for power aren't truthful when they say they're working for the people. To be re-elected for 30 0r 40 years you have to be part of machine politics. Also described as patronag...

Historical Shifts. The true meaning of Biden's recent trip to the Middle East wasn't to lower the price of oil in this country. We have our own resources to do that. The true meaning was our loss of dominance in world affairs. We held international power but that's beginning to change. After 50 years the Petrol-Dollar is coming to an end. The BRICS coalition has their own banking system. They repr...

Getting Less. If you think you're going to be getting more…that's not what's going to happen. The coalition known as BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) constitute 20% of the world's GDP and 40% of its population. The alignment of the world's order is coming to an end. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey are all asking to be members of BRICS. They no longer want to use the U.S. doll...

Weapon Production. Why should we worry when we produce top grade fighter jets and aircraft carriers? We've got the largest defense budget in the world. Are we a healthy people? One in five people suffer from mental illness in America. We left 80 billion dollars worth of weapons in Afghanistan. That qualifies us as stupid or mentally ill. Ex-generals became rich helping to produce weapons during th...

Our Guilt. I don't like what I'm seeing in the present...And I sure don't like what I see as our future. You're sadly mistaken if you believe normalcy is going to return to this country. Of course, if you're willing to live with 16,000 murders and an unknown number of assaults and robberies each year, you could say we're normal. The inflation you've been seeing isn't going away soon. You might say...

Our Life Expectancy. The saying "Fool me once, shame on you... Fool me twice shame on me."...doesn't apply today. It's more like..."Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice and I enjoy what you're doing to me." Politicians are masters at deceiving you, making you believe what's happening to you is good for you. You've been made into a tool keeping them in power. You've been made into their buffoo...

Our Transformation. Politicians can never admit we're in the wrong direction but we keep seeing and hearing something isn't right. Progress isn't our most important product because without respect.... respect for the living, respect for ancient laws, respect for the Natural World....there can never be progress. I'd forgive what has happened in this country if only the corruption of values and viol...

Our Fiascos. I'm a believer in conspiracies. I often think our government is susceptible for being attacked especially when it authorizes the assassination of a foreign leader like Putin. It's pay back for sending missiles to kill Russian soldiers. You want to kill me, well I'll kill you first. Not one military leader has been held accountable for our 20 year fiasco in Afghanistan. I'm reminded of...

Terminal Illness. We aren't a blissful America, a peaceful America, a content America. We aren't like a Norman Rockwell painting. In this country that doesn't exist anymore. We've become something other than what Rockwell painted. Personally, if I had the money, I wouldn't buy a Rockwell painting because it would remind me of what we've lost. You see, deceit and greed have become our calling cards...

Addicted Nation. Is there a real shortage of oil or is it contrived? I'm in agreement when scientists say the planet is getting warmer and the oil industry could be at fault. I'm a big believer in conspiracies. You can't imagine what real inflation is like if there's a real shortage of oil and not a conspiracy to raise prices artificially. In this country there's a continual struggle for power, th...

The Coming Revolution. I don't like talking about who stole what in the past cause there are a lot of people who would steal in the present. Politicians will say, "This can't be happening in America!" But this is America and the politicians who have been in power for 4o years helped to drive this country into the ground. Those buffoons dug a hole so deep they can't lie their way out of it. They ar...

The Boss. I don't dislike politicians, I just don't like what they do. I have mixed emotions about Richard J. Daley the deceased Boss of Chicago. I can't say I liked the Chicago river dyed green for St. Patty's day. But when it came to running a city few could rival him. Daley was a builder and I can't say that about most politicians today. If something was wrong he knew how to fix it. Daley was o...

Chopped Raw Meat. The propagandists and the politicians keep telling us we'll get back to "Normalcy", but chaos may be our future. After the Nov. election Biden may be removed from office, America attacked, civil war breaking out, and the financial collapse of the government. The culture of violence is about to get a lot worse. Selling weapons to Ukraine may lead to a war with Russia, but our manu...

Transitory Inflation. You want to know why a free market in America can't fail? Because it's rigged. The people at the top want to stay at the top. Our politicians won't attempt to correct our government's 30 trillion dollar debt because they can print as much money as they like. The American people haven't been told why we have the largest death rate from covid-19 in the world. And the truth abou...

Financing War. If we hadn't lost billions of dollars of weapons in Afghanistan we could have shipped some of it to fight in Ukraine against the Russians. But don't worry we can print as much money as we want. It's no skin off our nose. However, this is how it works. War is big business and it's not free. In fact, if Zelinsky pushes Russia back to it's border, the Ukrainian people will have to pay...

Our Derailed Country. The politicians and the propagandists keep telling us we'll get back to normal. They say covid is endemic and a part of our everyday life. But the world sees something is wrong in America. We've got Special Forces for any purpose and that means this country will never know peace. After the government's bankruptcy and restructuring we'll be vulnerable to attack. That's when mi...

Oil Wars. Are we safe? Well today we need lots of security systems for our homes. Latch locks on your front door don't work any more. The days of leaving your door unlocked are long gone. Stealing is nothing new and that includes taking land from other people. Capitalism is no stranger to stealing. Putin's a capitalist and that's why he invaded Ukraine. He wanted to sell Russia's vast oil resource...

Our Generals. Am I breaking the law if I call our President a Jackass, or some other name when describing people in our government? Baffoons come to mind. But that's nothing, cause the people who have power in this country have bankrupted it not just by dollars and cents. We live in a violent country. A monkey peeling a banana by the side of the road deserves more respect than some politicians who...

Electricity or Oil. Big oil has been running this country for over 100 years, but lots of people think it won't be the oil men who'll keep running the show. It'll be the electric men. Like it or not, oil men have a connection to the Natural World even if they exploited it. To extract something that was formed millions of years in the Earth makes you close to nature, where as electricity has always...

Putin's Reasons. For thirty years Ukraine has been stealing billions of dollars of gas transiting through five Russian pipelines, some meant for Ukraine's own consumption and others for Eastern European countries. That's really not why Putin invaded Ukraine. Putin is a capitalist and he believes in the integrity of legal contracts and agreements to further Russia's development. That's why a 10 bil...

The Hollowness. We thought all we ever needed was more stuff. But that's coming to an end. The rest of the world sees what we've become and we're going to be forced to understand we aren't the greatest country on Earth. A lot of people in this country are unhappy with who they are. They've been tricked into believing they sit at the front of the bus, but they're going to have sit at the back with...

Our Decay. If you think your troubles are going to end soon, think again. The propagandists, the politicians, the powerful keep telling you everything is getting back to normal. But they're lying. You've been made into a tool to support their agenda. And when things turn south they'll blame it on you. All you ever cared about was being entertained but now the jokes on you. You're addicted to the m...

El Salvador's Bitcoin. I didn't expect Putin to invade the Ukraine. I made a wrong prediction, but then again, if Russia ever toppled the Mexican government, the United States wouldn't take kindly to that. There could be real trouble when the smoke clears in the West cause it'll start rising in the East. America's hegemony is coming to a close. We controlled and toppled Central American government...
