As we enter an age of Lies and Lubyankas: Conforming has never been such an important survival skill. Fortunately, there will be no lack of instruction . . . and instructors.

“Rise of the Evil Ones” – “Camo-Origami Level”
Patterns can reveal; but they can also be used to hide. Sometime the focus is kept narrow so that the larger pattern cannot be seen.
“Full Disclosure – Full Exposure” is a policy that has the promise of allowing the public examine all the factors that should be involved in any government decision making process.
This idea is not welcomed.

“How many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg? Four. Saying that a tail is a leg doesn’t make it a leg.” — Abraham Lincoln
Have you ever noticed how the more dictatorial the government; the more beneficent the terms they use to describe their self-serving policies?
Today’s autocrats use the pretense of a “greater goodness” to cover the undeniable evil of their actions. And an insistence that they are leading us to a better place; to calm our uneasiness that their path leads in the opposite direction.
You don’t need anyone to tell you the right thing to do; but you need a government to tell you that it’s wrong to do it.
How many legs does an inequitable and unfair government policy have to stand on?
Two. Yours.
“Rise of the Evil Ones” – “BLOG BOG”
The vaccine is being distributed by New York State authorities with the same dismissive attitude that is a hallmark of their policy making toward the elderly and the unborn.
Age may be the demographic that defined the state’s COVID-19 fatalities; but it’s politics that defines who gets the vaccine.
A teacher who has already received the vaccine told me that he had been networked with the time vaccine appointments would be available, and on the dot used his smart phone and laptop together to grab a slot before they were gone in minutes. How can the county’s rural elderly; without prior notification, many without computers, good vision, and even the ability to move their fingers without pain, compete with that?
I have been unable to schedule a vaccine appointment for my mother, and called the County hot-line: I told them she was 97 years old, with heart disease, high blood-pressure and a pacemaker — they replied: “Everyone thinks they’re at risk.”
The sum-total of their help was to say: “Just keep trying.”
Now you know what happened with the Nursing Homes.

“The real tragedy of these small enclaves of marginality and poverty is that people are playing a game of life that has been structured in such a way that they are required to play but prevented from winning.” — Janet Fitchen, “Poverty in Rural America”
In rural New York; No one can hear your scream.
“Rise of the Evil Ones” – “KOVID KRAZY II”
Can you spot the monster in this screenshot?
No, he’s having lunch with the Governor.
“Rise of the Evil Ones” – “KOVID KRAZY”
KOVID KRAZY: It’s like cabin fever in a motel.
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Rise of the Evil Ones” – “Social Distance Boxing”
“Social Distancing,” like any other of today’s social programs, is a formalization that does nothing to change people’s attitudes. Millennia after “The Sun and the Wind”: governments still rely on force and form as the builders of society. Even in the face of victory-defeating restrictions; these two boxers still only think of defeating each other.
“I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.” ~ Abraham Lincoln
It’s ironic that such a forward looking social outlook is the product of “old school” thinking.

Terms like “Urban Colonialism,” “Urban Colonization,” and “Urban Overclass” would be in common usage; if the victims were of any importance.
“Rural Social Justice” is an action without a Legislator; an idea without an ideology to call home.
The people of rural communities, and their cultural identity, is one subject that our “oh-so-correct” city-centric society provides for ridicule and denigration.
Just as our poverty, hopelessness and neglect is greater than that of a Media-coddled Urban Overclass: So is our capacity to demand change.
