Palistine versus Jews.

Found a book stuck away to read one day. So...it is the Drifters by James Michener. It was written in 1970. I can relate to much of it having been there. Some I never saw though.
The premise is kids who rebelled and headed to avoid the draft or vacation in Spain and then just never went home.
He does a guy character who is a Jew. And in the book highlights college campuses that had protests that were pro Palestinian that were being put down and controlled by the Jews, etc.
So this is nothing new. The kids who are protesting on college campuses today are a continuation of 50 plus years of the Palestinian issue.
Interesting..proving there is nothing new under the sun.
I remember telling mom that this country was so bad that we needed a revolution. She said that never gained, only lost..work in the system for change. When I was 40, SHE was for a revolution. She saw our government would not allow change, nor our elite. I told her she was too late. Because I had gotten used the status quo and had no fire left.
Every generation of youth was ready to revolt and re-new our country. Now it appears the last one, Z, and more are so beaten down from birth that they just have given up before they start. scold

Listen, I can see a silver lining arond that cloud, and its colled the internet.
Now we can by the click talk to friends across the world, and suddenly 'we' (the new gen) might qustion if its right tm bomb for democracy in a place that don't evne have that word in their vocabulary.
I seen meny sensible 20years olds who take none of the old doctrines.
I'm talking the generation that will follow Z. I see hope. Plenty of these are not keen to obay no bullshit religous ledear neither. I really think there is hope as many of these start with a clean sheet.

Now all we need to do is get woke out of the schools, and I think that will eventually happen as well.
Folks are getting more Revolutionary minded ...
I heard of a poll in which 25% of 'Murkuns want their state to leave the Union shock

Personally... I'm beginning to think maybe a Little Bit of Global Thermonuclear War might not be such a Bad thing ...
Kinda like hitting the Refresh button.

Wow, if this is typical American thinking then no wonder the US is failing.
Support Trump then, if you want it in a better direction.
Trump will destroy everything that the US stood for and made America the world’s leading country.

The most sensible way forward is to find a younger leader with integrity who has the balls to ban all political lobbying, that way the US will regain the respect of the entire world.

Only by taking away political power from large institutions can the US move forward.
If only those old will get out of the way. Yep..that works. We did get some young congress members. Oh boy are THEY winners! Trump is the only answer. He doesn't give a crap about the establishment and the cabal.
The kids in college are protesting. Just like in the 70s, anti-Israel. Nothing new on that front. Remember Kent State?
The rats are starting to eat each other and I believe more and more in the Monroe Doctrine. Who appointed US the saviors of every third world country that is bent on killing each other for any deviation of the doctrine some warlord decrees?
Gen Z believes they should not have to join the military or even get jobs. So mumsey and dadsey, better keep working cause they are counting on a free ride from you. And if you croak, well then big brother will use taxpayers money from those who do work to keep them happy.
Funny how they whine about SS. It is failing because their are more on the taking end than the paying in end. And when there are all these youngins who wont work, then who pays THEIR way.
Of course, we are importing a new slave labor force.doh
You never said a truer word but he actually doesn't give a crap about anyone except himself.

Narcissism at its worst.

doh
So why is your pal peddling the Bible.

All I see in the U.S. is gerontocracy.doh
Trump's not giving a damn about the establishment is the modern equivalent of the snake oil salesman.
If he could only boast of having had an Uncle eaten by Cannibals!rolling on the floor laughing
