Francis’s First Miracle
Putting Trump in his place
Putting Trump in his place
He has no empathy
Or compassion
For the weak, the poor,
The downtrodden
He is the opposite of meek
He worships gold
And money
He hates immigrants
Journalists, judges
He’s mean and sometimes
Even cruel
He’s no Pope
Or compassion
For the weak, the poor,
The downtrodden
He is the opposite of meek
He worships gold
And money
He hates immigrants
Journalists, judges
He’s mean and sometimes
Even cruel
He’s no Pope

Thinking before posting a picture of yourself as Pope right after a beloved Pope dies? Naa, too much work.

Every night Pope Francis phoned the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip.
When asked what he told them, Francis answered: “Oh, I never tell them anything, I just listen.”

The ever-prescient Sarah Kendzior realized exactly what Trump meant when he said this in 2014. Kendzior devoted reams of text to deciphering what would come to pass. Few listened to her then. Now everyone is listening.

They don’t want you to believe them, because that means you might believe their opposition too.
Their enemy is belief and its pedestal, truth.
They don’t need you to believe he’s not doing the Nazi salute.
They need you to not care.

Occupied, 2015 Norwegian series, a near-future scenario in which the US has left NATO, Russia soft-occupies Norway, the Norwegians realize US is in on the deal, and the press tries to figure out how to report it.

It will be a long time until democracy is restored, if ever.
Probably worldwide.
It’s unlikely any democracy will be able to stand up to the Moscow-Washington alliance.

Should events hasten to their sequential conclusion, the United States stands on the brink of unleashing:
1) A civilization-endangering conflagration,
2) A high-tech genocide of social-media assisted surgical precision,
3) A profit-driven climate catastrophe, or
4) Some combination of above three.

An oft-repeated mistake is to associate genocide only with race.
Genocide is also about class, politics.
Most 20th-century mass killers targeted victims as “communists” or “bourgeois” not their race.
If our 21st century devolves into a “high-tech genocide” it will be more about politics than race.
