Things are falling apart faster and on such an accelerating global scale that our collective abilities, will, intelligence, and commitment seem increasingly unlikely to save either ourselves or our planet from annihilation of our own making. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Here we are in 2024, after some <em>Five Decades<\/em> of concurring research findings about the existential threat posed by global warming, and <em>still<\/em> we are being stonewalled by deliberate long-term corporate<em>\u00a0<\/em>denial<\/span><span style=\"color: #003300;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em> (&#8220;Greenwashing is our most important product!&#8221;<\/em>), and not until very recently has a significant proportion of our population been <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #003300;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">waking up to the magnitude and immediacy of these massive, overlapping, and interlinked existential threats. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It should not be lost on anyone that right here in our own country, for the last fifty years one entire political party has based its entire &#8220;platform&#8221; on being avidly <em>in favor of<\/em> anything that increased short-term corporate profits, executive salaries, and stock prices, and equally <em>against<\/em> taxing big business or the billionaire owners and executives who own them, and at the same time increasing taxes and decreasing benefits for a struggling middle class and the perennially poor. This &#8220;Robber Baron&#8221; philosophy goes back to the Industrial Revolution in England, where an old cartoon of two top-hatted gentlemen on an evening stroll along dirty streets bordering giant industrial smokestacks agreed, <em>&#8220;There is a Great Deal of Money to be made here.&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">These attitudes have been the essential Republican platform since at least 1970: <em>&#8220;rob the poor to help the rich.&#8221; <\/em>Well, the good news is that <em>that<\/em> Republican party no longer seems to exist, having now morphed into two related entities. The first and most obvious is the Tweetster&#8217;s Maga party of suckers who still think he gives a fig about them or their problems. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The second seems to have been the even more dangerous driving force <em>behind<\/em> the Tweetster&#8217;s original candidacy <em>and<\/em> its likely &#8220;steal&#8221; of the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton. It by far the more dangerous, the shadowed Overlord of the Tweetster and his flunkies, a massively well-funded marriage of corporatists, fascists, and religious fundamentalists.

On an international scale it seems inclined toward global domination by a strange dystopian melange of corporate hierarchy, Christian fundamentalism, and authoritarian control of everyone and everything. It would not only dismantle the United States. It would do away with &#8220;countries&#8221; altogether by making them individual Industrial Departments with their own Board-chosen Chairs&#8211; a unified global industrial network that makes its own rules for its own aims for its own reasons. And completely without mercy.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This kind of fantasy organization was at the center of the 1975 sci-fi fantasy film Rollerball, starring James Caan and John Houseman<\/span>. <span style=\"color: #000080;\"><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VMlUD8MpBYM\"><strong>This little chat<\/strong><\/a><\/span> b<span style=\"color: #000000;\">etween global hero Caan and one of a small elite of global industrial executives Houseman is one version of what we are talking about.
