Am I Terrorist Now? — WOMENZ STRAIGHT TALK

In Atlanta, Georgia a very peculiar battle broils. It has nothing and everything, to do with the heat wave frying everyone’s brains. Mind you, extreme weather has nothing to do with any climate crisis. And, the world is flat. Just saying.

At first glance, It could be assumed all the ruckus revolves around a proposed construction for the “Atlanta Public Safety Training Center” . Public Safety. Training. Sounds great, what’s wrong with that!

All Lives Matter: An American Holocaust

On May 25th, 2020, Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin crushed his knee on the neck of George Floyd killing him, as the public stood by filming. 9 minutes/ 29 seconds that encapsulated the violent threads that weave the social fabric of America.

9 minutes/29 seconds that set the stage for the emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement. A soul-deep howl for social justice and equitable change. For Black Americans, their personal history of slavery, abuse, and racial discrimination was fin

2023 Past to Present — WOMENZ STRAIGHT TALK

“Perception of both time and space, is deeply shaded by our cultural practices. It organizes, defines, and rules us. But what is it really?

It’s 6:00am and I stumble, crusty and crinkled toward the kitchen and coffee. It’s that “time”. Despite an ear jangling 30 minutes of testing all alarm sound options on my phone, my “gentle morning” tinkle still ruthlessly jars me from a huddled, winter slumber. Rocketing from dreams to reality. An alarm is an alarm however gentle the chime. Shakespeare had

DON'T YELL, IT's RUDE — WOMENZ STRAIGHT TALK

In this prolonged post-pandemic world, we continue to be globally equalized by economic trauma and an accelerating climate crisis. Wildfires, floods and boiling seas have even the most dedicated and fanatic deniers scratching their bald heads. They can’t tweet faster than the evacuation levels rising for their towns. This could an ISSUE. In my early Twittering days, I learned writing in “caps” is online shouting. It’s rude. Oops! Didn’t mean to wake you, but HAVE YOU SMELLED THE COFFEE? Like, re

In God We Trust: Roe vs Wade

As the Roe vs Wade decision and public prayer slice across the US as the Voice of God, the ghosts of our Founding Fathers are scrambling for some old-fashioned spirits while shaking their spectral heads. In common with God, their names are routinely being used “in vain” and with considerable Pride. A proverbial “Deadly Sin”. Obviously, none of them can add their two cents to the conversation due to a short-sighted lack of an internet connection.

The concept of 7 Deadly Sins predates formal Chri

Human Trafficking: Is It a Crime? – Liluye Blog | By and for People with Great Spirit

The value of a trafficked life is in the hands of current market trends, not unlike Wall Street stock shares. The two have a lot in common. Big business opportunities and calculable profit margins. An early 2014 report estimated illegal profits from human trafficking/slavery to be over 150 billion per year. Add eight years, plus an economic crisis, and “profits in these shares” have more than doubled.

We must, in understanding this dark market acknowledge that on both sides of the fence, the mo

Don’t Look Up

In December of 2021, Netflix gave us an inspired Christmas present. A movie. Directed by Adam Mckay and littered with stars including; Leonardo DeCaprio, Cate Blanchette, and Meryl Streep. “Don’t Look Up” was a timely and dark commentary on politics, society, and the desperate refusal to accept reality in the face of facts. The movie briefly streaked across the Netflix menu before vanishing like a night comet. It hit too close to the bone and, home.

Ukraine: Part III –The Sky Is Falling

Four weeks in, the loss of civilian lives and the massive destruction of Ukrainian cities continues. Civilian refugees continue to flow over the borders of neighboring Poland, Romania, Hungary, and Moldova.

On March 16th, US President Biden added more fuel to the fire. Publicly stating Putin is a “war criminal, thug and murderous dictator” leaves little room for open diplomacy or, back-channel solutions. Name-calling is reminiscent of the Trump era. It did not lay the grounds for diplomacy then

Ukraine: Re-Mapping Europe

Ukrainians woke up on February 23th to an exploding invasion of their country on three sides. Blasts were recorded in the cities of Odessa, Mariupol and Odessa. Russia had launched direct missiles at Kyiv while long-range artillery hit the north-eastern city of Kharkiv. Citizens began fleeing the country as others took to street-by-street guerrilla warfare.

And, the West stood by, again. An eerie repeat of February 2014 when Russia invaded and annexed the Crimean Peninsula. For that manoeuvre,

Ukraine: The Opening Move

In the early hours of Wednesday, Russia finally made its opening ploy. Europe will be the first chessboard played in the initial moves in this global game. Putin came in with strong combination play. He knows his chess and has played this manoeuvre before. Russia tested the West’s resolve when it annexed the Crimea with a mere slap on the wrist from the world. Crimea finally showing its true value for Russian forces entering the Ukraine. History has a nasty habit of repeating.

Bot Thought

Who do you like? Who do you follow? This is important stuff. These days, doing social media is a full-time occupation. It requires Olympian level finger dexterity and a splintered attention refracting like a conflict diamond. And, Sharing. The most powerful weapon in our social media arsenal. With it we can start a political movement for change. We can start a war. Every purchase, every “like” or “follow” carries a personal responsibility. Flicks releasing blood to wash the feet of our new gods.

Cassandra Speaks

The Biden Administration managed to push a partial infrastructure bill through. Whoo-hoo? It is being lauded by supporters as if it were the platform of The American Great Resurrection. The second coming of America so to speak. A new climax of debt we can never pay except with blood and tears. Add the incoming taxes we will bear for this, to our own personal debts and expect a wave of bankruptcies by spring. Banks we bailed out in 2008, (Bank of America, Citigroup…

Writer In A Matrix World

We live in Orwellian times. Threading moments of distractive destruction. A world where words have lost all anchored, historical meaning. Un-referenced. Re-invented and abused without contextual framing. Bleached etymology. Roots, uprooted. Debate smothered by un-defined concepts. Communication censored. Writers consigned to the bonfire of political correctness and predatory marketing. Freedom of expression sold as a commodity of popularity.

For The Good Of All

Social media, framed by Facebook, is front stage on the privacy debate again. Money vs our personal data. Which is ironic. Americans as a culture, legally sell everything except their own body parts. Senators like Ron Wyden (OR.Dem) have been sloughing in about Section 230 (The Communications Decency Act) and a need to “starve Facebook out of the data that fuels its predatory behaviour”. It all sounds great trumped from a political pulpit. The devil is always in the details.
