bad dad in this piece is an accurate metaphor for how the empire operates;
There’s a house on the block where a large family lives, and it gets
pretty abusive in there. The kids hardly ever get to see a doctor and
there’s never enough money for them to afford decent clothes or go on
holiday, and a disproportionately large number of them get locked in
their rooms as punishment for silly, arbitrary offenses which could have
been prevented with a little more care and attention. They don’t get
out much and they have to spend their free time listening to scripture
readings about how exceptional their family is.
Looking at these
disheveled, mistreated children, one can’t help wondering what’s going
on with their parents. Why aren’t they providing for their kids? Why
isn’t money going toward giving their children quality healthcare and
education and making sure they have everything they need? Are they poor?
Is there some sort of substance abuse problem?
Actually, if you
look at their house you can very quickly see where the problem lies. A
huge, opaque fence with barbed wire surrounds the yard, and there are
many expensive security cameras scanning the scene, facing both outward
and inward. All the doors and windows are barred shut and rigged with
fancy alarm systems, and there’s a giant stockpile of firearms in the
master bedroom.
Every spare moment of his free time, the man of
the house is either coming home with an expensive new piece of home
security equipment or adjusting and tinkering with the ones he already
has. He can’t be bothered with his needy children, who he angrily shoves
away whenever they dare approach him asking for things.
“No time
for that!” he yells while piling new redundant security systems on top
of old redundant security systems. “I’ve got to protect the family from
all potential intruders!”
When he’s not doing that, he’s prowling
around the block bullying his neighbors. He forces them to join the
neighborhood watch, which he controls with an iron fist and runs around
the clock. He insists that they submit to his leadership and relate to
their neighborhood with the same aggressive hyper-vigilance that he has,
and if any of them refuse to bow to his demands, he sets to work on
grinding them into compliance........https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/05/23/america-is-like-a-bad-dad/

i ask you to imagine how this would be possible;
(KUTV) — According to the medical examiner's office in Virginia, a 19-year-old woman died from a gunshot wound through her mouth while her hands were cuffed behind her back. It was ruled a suicide.
The finding matched the account of Sarah Wilson's death by the Chesapeake Police Department that said she shot herself while officers were trying to detain her boyfriend.
Wilson was the passenger of a car pulled over by police on July 25, 2018. The 19-year-old's boyfriend, Holden Medlin, 27, was driving when they were stopped by two police officers, one patrol and one from narcotics. Separating the two from the car, one officer handcuffed Wilson while the other struggled to detain Medlin, who was reportedly combative and tried to flee the scene, as reported by WAVY in August.
While officers tried to get control of Medlin, Wilson was left alone and reportedly was able to get a gun, possibly from inside the car where she was a passenger, "contorted" her body and shot herself through the mouth while still wearing handcuffs, according to a police spokesman.
"She was handcuffed, and she managed to put a revolver in her mouth while handcuffed. That's what the investigator told me last night," the dead woman's mother Dawn Wilson told an ABC news station. "In all of her life I have never known of her to shoot a gun, own a gun, or even hold a gun."
Police were not able to explain how Wilson was able to get access to the gun and said it was not a police weapon. They reportedly tried to save Sarah Wilson's life after the gunshot but that she died at the location of the shooting.
Reports say one officer was wearing a body camera at the time of the stop but it was knocked off during the struggle with Medlin and turned off when it hit the ground. It was off during the shooting and did not capture the teen's death. After Medlin was detained, the camera was reattached and turned back on to record, police said but the Chesapeake Police Department declined to release the body camera footage.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Virginia confirmed to to WAVY that Wilson committed suicide and died from an "intra-oral gunshot wound."
Chesapeake police investigated the alleged suicide in July. A spokesman said the department concluded the investigation but declined to comment on the outcome.
Medlin reportedly swallowed a bag with possible drugs in it at the time of the arrest and is currently facing drug charges............https://abcnews4.com/news/nation-world/police-woman-killed-herself-with-gunshot-through-her-mouth-while-hands-cuffed-behind-back

its coming and you ain't gonna like it;
American farming has encountered the apocalyptic horsemen of 4D-chess-meister Donald Trump’s trade wars coupled with full onset Grand Solar Minimum (GSM). As we warned back in April, corn, wheat and soybean crops would be problematic. It now looks like Chinese buying will be moot, as little grain will be grown this year. Keep in mind that the GSM is just beginning.In its Crop Progress Report on Monday, the USDA pegged U.S. corn planting at 49% complete, behind the 80% five-year average. The trade expected a completion rating of 53%. Even worse, only 19% of the planted U.S. corn has emerged versus a 49% five-year average.

its the well known quote in action: to discover who owns you find out who you aren't allowed to criticize;
We begin this week’s edition of ‘Jewish War on Free Speech’ with the renewed attack on free speech on the internet with Canada pushing Orwellian ‘hate speech’ laws in an effort to curb the Socratic dialogue on the jewish question that the internet encourages by its distributed social and collaborative nature. (1)
Supporting this jewish organizations – particularly of the Israel First variety such as the ‘Times of Israel’ – have been screeching loudly about the need to make ‘anti-Semitism’ a criminal offence globally. (2)
This has been twinned with a broader assault on free speech with demands made on both American (3) and British universities (4) to criminalize criticise of Israel using the IHRA ‘definition’ of ‘anti-Semitism’ which basically makes anything remotely critical of jews, Judaism and/or Israel ‘anti-Semitic’.
All while attempting to criminalize said criticism at a state and federal level in the United States, (5) the United Kingdom (6) and Germany among other countries. (7) In addition to creating target lists of opponents to be de-platformed and if possible prosecuted for opposing the jews. (8)
The sheer mendacity and dangerous nature of these increasing attempts to impose a literal jewish dictatorship on the world is evident in the fact that everything from putting a kippah on a non-jew’s head as a political stunt, (9) asserting (correctly in my view) that jews exploit the so-called ‘Holocaust’ for political and personal gain, (10) telling a joke that jews don’t like, (11) calling a jew ‘dirty’ (12) or even translating a word ‘wrongly’ (according to jews anyway) is ‘anti-Semitism’. (13)
Hold on to your horses folks because the semitic police state is coming...........http://semiticcontroversies.blogspot.com/

having spent my life mostly doing what the writer herein speaks of i can certify his comments, and the comments below that expand upon the subject which is the insanity of opening a restaurant;
If I were starting out in life again, I would become a psychologist instead of a writer.
I would specialize in the peculiar mental derangement that causes people to open a restaurant. This mania infects thousands.
Approximately 60% of restaurants fail within three years. And no wonder. There are tons of restaurants competing for business.
Indeed, restaurants compete with everyone who has a kitchen and a cookbook, which is almost everyone.
When I consider the cost of food, equipment, furnishings, rent, advertising, labor, taxes, utilities, etc. I can't understand how restaurants survive. When I eat out, I am conscious that the owner's profit is the difference between what I pay and all of these items. No wonder I often feel ripped off in terms of quality and quantity. Many restaurants are rip-offs, plain and simple.
For me, opening a restaurant would be like renting, furnishing and staffing a reading room where people buy my books and then sit down and enjoy them. I would go broke.
Never sell anything that can't be mass produced. Once I've finished a book, it's done. But a restaurant must manufacture its product anew every time, to exacting standards or face the indignation of the customer and a scathing online review. ............https://www.henrymakow.com/2019/05/the-insanity-of-opening-a-restaurant.html

My cooking is as good as most restaurants. They advertise "home cooking." Why not eat at home? One of my great pleasures in life, for which I am grateful, is being able to follow the whims of my appetite.
