Life Imitating Art or Art Imitating Life

This is a question that has been asked since the beginning of the entertainment business. Over the last year, we have watched to show Designated Survivor have the senate and congress blown to hell.  And an attempt on Tom Kirkman's life. (Kiffer Southerland) This season we have seen the First Lady in the show be investigated for an ethics violation. It went nowhere.  Then she is killed in a car accident. The episode for this Wednesday had a dirty bomb go off.  It went off in a Metro center for a public transportation, killing 6 FBI Agents.

I just watched Israeli News Live and there has been a chlorine gas bomb on East Gotta Syria. For weeks Trump has been predicting something like this happening.  Since Obama created IS, ISIS, ISIL there has been nothing but problems in Syria. I have no doubt that this government is behind the attacks. It fits the pattern of behavior of Washington D.C. I just wonder how long will it take for Washington to blame Al Assad and/or Putin.

So again I ask the question, life imitating art or art imitating life? You see, I don't believe in coincidences. So Wednesday's episode of Designated Survivor with the dirty bomb and the attack which just happened isn't a coincidence. There is one more thing that occurred in the episode, the former president was caught leaking information to a journalist. I do recall Trump had to have the Oval Office and Presidental Quarters cleared of mics which had been placed so Obama knew everything that was going on. The writers decided that the former pres in the show would a "Patriot".  I am sure that is the card Obama would play if anyone actually gave a damn about his excuses...

Sometimes it can seem like the lines between reality and art are very slim. As we are seeing everywhere on television there are plots playing out and then the reality is that they were based on reality.

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it. Of course, I made notes in each chapter about my thoughts. We’ll see if this helped compared to the chapter-by-chapter review we did on The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.  Throughout the book, General Butler covers the ins and outs of war. He looks at the financial cost and the human cost. He starts out by explaining how the military-industrial complex was formed. Which I do think is critical. Most people in America don’t understand what the military-industrial complex is. Never mind how it is used. I am not going into detail here just read The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. You will understand the order in which things unfold. The minority of Americans know who profits from war and who doesn’t. General Butler covers that as well. You will notice I said ‘m...

Who is Ahmed al-Sharaa?

  Ahmed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Wait! What was that???? Born in Saudi Arabia…. How the hell did he get to be president of Syria? A country that he isn’t even a citizen of? That is as insane as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announcing he is going to be the president of America. Actually, I would welcome that. Since he is obviously smarter than any American Political puppet. At least we would be able to have our Christian values protected. There wouldn’t be an abortion clinic on every city block. And the sexualization of children would come to a dead stop. Veterans would be better cared for under Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, that will never happen, but I think you get how insane that is. I found that you have to be a natural-born citizen of Syria to be president of Syria.  Ahmed al-Sharaa was a member of Al Qaeda. You remember the pack of terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/. My question is, why is Al-Qaeda allowed to exist if they were involved in 9/11? ...
