Protestant? or, Catholic?
The Financial Markets are screaming that the Saudi's are in "the driver's seat"! Putin and TRUMP are locked in a "mutual-admiration" embrace (to the titillation of Media)! Our most-bigoted citizens are killing Muslims, while occupying Center Stage in our Politics; moving to the tune of the GOP's malignant Pipers -- what's to make of all of this??
Things have really changed! Perhaps, PERMANENTLY. We clearly are a VILLAGE, now, like it or not. People who could be easily ignored for the past 500 years; suddenly have a VOICE, and can make themselves heard is a variety of ways; thanks to the Internet! The Old Days of our Founder's desired WASP rule (in what TRUMP refers to, when he speaks of "Our Country") is changing! Catholic, White Males have found their voice, and are claiming that space that was carved out by Catholics in the Americas more than 100 years before the Pilgrims arrived on our shores. The Kennedy's were first to find voice for Catholic Leadership. They were murdered; along with two prominent Leaders of American Blacks, at that time. This time, is clearly different: when the entire World; (a single Village? a single Market?); for the first time, must work together for the survival of all! White Catholic Ethnics, find it just as easy as Sewer State WASPS, to regard non-whites as less-than-Human Beings (Chi-Raq, is an example)!
MEDIA, curiously, is busy trying to convince us that we should be more scared today, than we were following 9/11. They must think we've become much more Stupid in the 14 years that have passed. Where is Michael Moore, anyway?? Isn't he the guy who wrote: Stupid White Men (2001)??
The Oil Glut is revealing what might be a Bubble, in Hedge Funds. Surprise!, Surprise? Dodd-Frank, obviously couldn't foresee, and/or prevent, EVERYTHING, going forward. It would seem that this new Village we all inhabit, thanks to Technology, would make it easier for us to SEE the thieves who are picking our pockets!
Stay Vigilant! Early signs are that the Global Village will be run by Dictatorial, Gangsters; of one nationality or another. Law Enforcement, itself, has become seriously corrupt; at the County and Local levels, throughout the United States. Cops, themselves, are more endangered, because Hard Right Politicians, in thrall to the NRA, will not act to remove the heavy artillery that has made its way onto our streets. Whites, as their numbers shrink, are turning against more kinds of "others" in our midst, led by Trump, Cruz, and their followers. Muslim-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, along with Black Americans are, all, "targets" for Trump and his Klan. Many of the members of these targeted groups will JOIN with Trump; in accordance with the dictates of the Stockholm Syndrome.
