Exposed
Are these the best of times, or are they the worst of times? Depending on one's individual circumstance, it just could very well be the worst of times. And for far too many, it actually is. For the poor, the indigent, the feeble, and the deprived, the world they live in is a far cry from where their hopes and dreams lie. Just to survive another day is a testament to their ability to adapt to conditions that actually mirror third world countries.

Madmen
In no other time in our history has there been such corruption and insanity coming from Washington and especially the White House. Trump and his henchmen have all but obliterated the Constitution. Now, with the world turning its eyes toward Syria after another so-called chemical weapons attack on the Syrian people our fearless leader has taken it upon himself to interfere with military action that has global repercussions. Unlike President Obama, Trump and his henchmen have made matters much worse than ever before. His reaction has been completely idiotic, something only a madman would only do.

Brainwashed
We the people! How many times have we heard this phrase? Yet our Democracy is anything but. In truth, the United States is nothing more than a fascist state. We would be wise to remember that fascism operates a corporate state under the guise of a democracy. Fascism is nothing more than Corporatism, the merger of state and corporate power.

In Dreams
In the dreams of many, one is carried away to a land of enchantment and wonder. Then again, there are many a night where one dreams of misfortune and woe. It is those most trouble some nights when we suddenly wake up and realize that the world has, indeed, changed. For the fortunate few who have weathered the storms of life, the dreams they have might just include fantasies of one form or another. In playing out a role in these types of dreams, one is whisked away to places that may have had an actual influence in the life they have led.

By Unintelligent Design
One has to wonder ever since the 1990s how the United States plummeted from being the stalwart nation of the world to now a mere shadow of its former self. Some believe we have only ourselves to blame for the election of Donald Trump, while others put it more bluntly on the power brokers of both political parties and the main stream media. Maybe it was all by unintelligent design. We have to remember that the Democratic party did everything possible including fracturing the rule of law by thwarting Bernie Sanders' nomination. Then there was of course the media frenzy covering Trump's swagger, profanity, and uncouth demure. Lest we forget all the millions of dollars lavishly spent in securing the Republican nomination. No other candidate could come close in media coverage of the Trump campaign.

The Money Changers
In all of history, there has always been a family name synonymous with great wealth. Just the name Rothschild conjurors up images of great mansions that dwarf the Vanderbilt's and the Rockefeller's. With so many of us in the United States so impoverished while the fat cats on Wall Street keep getting even fatter, we really would like to know who really are the Rothschilds? What is their genealogy? And, how did one family become history's most powerful money changers? These questions have now become more relevant with each bank and stock market transaction taking place today. Is it any wonder why the United States is so precariously close to self destruction when our money and monetary system is based on fractional banking today just as the Rothschilds have used for centuries?

Trump's Deception
It is becoming more apparent today that if a person is poor or becomes so impoverished, you are more than likely doomed to a life of misery and desolation. No longer are their avenues of opportunity awaiting behind every door. Even with college degrees in today's society graduates are no longer guaranteed to land living wage jobs in their field of study. There is just not the availability of employment opportunities that even come close to even providing not only employment but living wages. This is one of the most depressing times still for all who need living wage jobs. When there still remains such a vacuum of employment opportunities it becomes a lesson in futility. We can go to any city in any part of the country and find multitudes that are so impoverished. In this day and age it is unconscionable that so many Americans are left so destitute. With Trump leading the way, he has made it possible to usher in deep cuts in our public services. Services that can make a difference so that our citizens won't go hungry, become homeless, or have their utilities cut off through no fault of their own.

Crisis Point
Thinking back to the financial crisis of 2008, one would think that another such economic catastrophe would somehow elude us. It was just ten years ago that the United States plunged the world into the worst financial disaster since the Great Depression. Yet here we are, a decade later, no wiser and even more foolish. You would have thought that we would have learned from our mistakes, but time and time again, history proves that we are still prone to repeat mistakes of the past. When will we ever learn? Today, what we have is déjà vu of the 2008 financial crisis. So what we have now are almost the same set of circumstances that are poised to unleash an economic debacle more sinister and more devastating than the one in 2008. To understand how this is happening, we first have to look at what transpired leading up to the 2008 crash.

The Wheels of Injustice
As the wheels of justice grind to a halt by the powers that be, our society is fast approaching a breaking point. A breaking point from which there is really no return. More children with guns and the willingness to carry out horrific acts of violence have put our way of life in grave jeopardy. Serious questions have to be asked, and yet no one has been asking the right ones. What we should be asking is what has happened to a society which has gone from an era of moralistic virtues where our youth who played with toy guns but respected the danger that real guns posed, to today where our youth are getting hold of semi- and automatic weapons which have no place being available to adults let alone our youth.

Still The Carnage Continues
History is ripe with incidents that reoccur most times through different scenarios but tragically so much of the outcomes remain the same. We are living in an age where we have yet to learn from our mistakes of the past so as not to repeat them in the future. It was in the Capone era in Chicago when the infamous St. Valentines Day massacre occurred. The movie of the same name tried to glamorize the horrific violence that took place that day. So much of Hollywood has succeeded in profiting from movies that showcase mayhem, death, and destruction. Still guided by profits and nothing more they continue to pump out those types of movies. Our society today seems we can't get enough of the shock and aw. It shows with the ticket sales that make millions for the movie studios.

Scapegoat
Throughout history leaders have always tried to put blame on others for their rationale. Whether their ventures were successful or not, the decisions they made affected so many others in ways that seem almost incomprehensible. History is full of incidents where people of authority take great pains to put blame on certain individuals who to no fault of their own did what was required of them. This is especially true in times of great adversity and yet when tragedy struck they are accused and too often convicted through their actions as the cause of that tragedy. It has been proven time and time again these accusers were actually trying to cover-up from their own inefficiency.

That Sinking Feeling
As the winter Olympics take center stage without too much fanfare, the Trump Administration is poised to unleash a budget filled with draconian cuts in just about every safety net there is. These safety nets have had significant success in keeping millions of Americans from falling through the cracks of an already unbalanced society. Yet we have Trump and the rest of the Republicans incapable of hearing the cries of the impoverished multitudes that continue to languish in desperation, hoping for better times ahead.
