Reinventing Reality

 JARED KUSHNER, throughout his tenure as Trump's chief Asst. Sec. of State for Israeli subjugation of Palestine, or Trump youth minister, or whatever, struck me as something of a foppish dandy, born to be arrogant, but reasonably intelligent and reasonably well educated, despite his immersion in the Trump clan and his own father's, as well as his father in law's criminality. In other words,  a perfect fit within the prevaricating land of Trump, Ivanka sector. But most certainly, indisputably, not the "Anti-Christ", whatever that is. The former friend of mine who made this assertion about him, and probably still does, also claimed that Michelle Obama is a man, and Barack Obama was born not in Honolulu, but in Kenya, and is thus an apparent equal opportunity fantasy basher, delusional on both ends of the political spectrum. That in itself merits credit/ She, the fantasy accuser, is my former friend because  although I do not end friendships over small matters like lack of sanity, I do call crazy crazy to the crazy, and racist racist, and purveyors of lunacy invariably do not brook being identified as lunatics. I'm willing to tolerate it, but not to ignore or overlook it. I respond accordingly, and I always offer to find help. For her that was, evidently, insufficiently passive on my part. At my age, it is nigh time to shed lunatic friends, the conspiracy mongers, the extraterrestrial contactees,  the alternative cosmic paradigm multi dimensional weirdos, and the Lord is returning tomorrow crowd. Problem is, if you add all of them up, it comes to about half the population, or more, not much more that the stolen election crowd. Crazy, in a nutshell, is back in style in the United States of Anesthesia, not that it ever truly departed. The U.S. of A was founded under false pretenses, and continues to operate under them, and must, otherwise it would be necessary to laud itself as the land of  exploitation, violent conquest, and flim flam. (see Gore Vidal). In the alterative reality community the self styled gurus have the answers to everything, the answers are always fantastic, and its possessors are always willing to share and to convert the uninitiated, but can never explain exactly where they came from. Any attempt by an acolyte to contribute knowledge is summarily, nonchalantly dismissed as irrelevant, or unnecessary. Facts? We no need no stinking facts! They have their own, and they come from "within". Facts, reality, and science are the first casualties of the alternative reality community, which in recent years has multiplied, proliferated, and spread like  a contagious virus without a vaccine, and is firmly ensconced within the Trump is the true president community, fighting against the dark forces of pedophilic Democrats, federal reserve extraterrestrials, and mainstream media, with the weapons at hand, the most potent of which is the unbridled human imagination, run amok.
