And, is it time for the whole world to know it?
I used to be embarrassed — no, more precisely, ashamed — to be an American. Whenever I traveled abroad, I was grateful that I was seldom viewed as a swashbuckling American, but rather German, or possibly, British. Not that I would “identify” with either of these nationalities, but the one I was born into? UGH.
Now? I lament the failed promise of the original U.S. Constitution, and in the midst of the flying Buy-den detritus that constitutes “news” of the unraveling of this could-have-been great nation, I sigh, and remember my late, patient mother’s oft-stated remark: “This too, shall pass.” This unraveling? Will we get back to zero and start over? Will the deathing signified by Pluto’s first-ever Return in the U.S. chart be followed by rebirth?
The jury is out.
My animus towards my own country of origin began when I was two years old, and the U.S. bombed both Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear bombs, despite that Japan was already on the verge of surrender.
We wanted to show the whole wide world that we were boss.
From August 1947 to the 1997 neo-con Project for a New American Century is but a half century. What did we learn between those two dates? Apparently nothing.
There was nothing the rest of the world could do to get us to accept that our country is one among equals, that the world is really “multi-polar”, as the great Vaclav Havel famously put it, as far back as 1994. No. The U.S. is boss. The great hegemon.
The U.S. hyperpower is being simultaneously exposed, and laid low, by all sorts of factors, not the least of which are BioClandestine’s riveting accounts of Russia’s meticulously documented results of its “special operation” in Ukraine. And, if BioClandestine is correct, then no wonder President Trump kept referring to his phone call with Zelensky (remember that?), back in July 2019, as a “perfect phone call.” Not only did he record it, word for word, thus proving Adam Schiff a liar, but it turns out that this phone call may have been the key that opened the door to what might be the single-most horrific revelation ever, re: the extraordinary and ongoing perfidy of the U.S.A. — or, I should say, the perfidy of certain players within the U.S.A., now confirmed by the DOD: 46 U.S. run and/or funded bio-weapons labs in Ukraine alone. No wonder that phone call drove the Democrats crazy, and initiated the first of three failed attempts to impeach President Trump.
See The Mysterious BioClandestine‘s post today on Telegram, which begins —
— and which refers to his Substack article yesterday. Notice your jaws agape as you read through it.

Follow-up with every single post that BioClandestine has put up, both on Telegram and on his new Substack account. And that includes the one where he references the DOD’s “46 labs” admission and what it probably means.
The raw ‘Truth’ is the role main stream media continues to play in under-reporting and/or mis-representing news in a modus operandi that at times might also be creating news.
A vast number depends largely on msm for ALL news and one would think that at some point in time ‘news-makers’ might begin to stumble upon the line between fact and fiction.
The question becomes . . . ‘Are news agencies actually legally required to report unbiased Truth or at the very least, validated accounts of issues that may be of vital importance in the main?’
True Journalism could go a very long way toward righting the sinking ship that Integrity has become.
But then, always the epistemological problem: what IS Truth. Is there any such thing as “objectivity,” when there are always as many perspectives as there are points of view (points from which each person views). This conundrum formed the foundation of my doctoral dissertation in philosophy.
Just a comment on “the bomb” and the morality issue. I would suggest further research into the lead up to the decision to use it. My young soldier-future father was marching across the pacific in 1945, already wounded twice in fierce island battles, and was waiting in Okinawa in July for an invasion that he likely would not have survived. The nukes were horrible and killed many, but saved 10 or 20 times that in estimated Japanese casualties, and likely a half million Allied troops. One maybe, my father. I was born in 1950.
My father, too. He was in the Phillipines, as a surgeon with the Army. I heard the news with my mom and grandma and aunts. It floored me that they celebrated, knowing that it might have saved my dad’s life. But for me, (born two years and eight months earlier, only weeks after the first fission experiment under a sports stadium in Chicago), and it’s still true for me, the horror of using the nuclear bomb, especially deliberately on cities! — overrode personal concerns.
It is nauseating how much strife that the US has caused world wide.
