I’ve decided to riff on Time Magazine and name my own Person of the Year, plus four entries for the short list. Needless to say that my take will differ a bit. 1. Vladimir Putin The Russia President changed the decades-long Neoliberal regime change machine in addition to changing the West’s entire narrative. Do a word cloud […]
Read More mentalunrest’s 2016 Person of the YearWhat the hell has happened to Western democracy over the past few days?? First, some mysterious entity motivated the Ecuadorian Embassy to cut off the internet access of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange — presumably under pressure to protect Hillary Clinton’s fragile Presidential candidacy — by disrupting the flow of embarrassing email leaks concerning her team. […]
Read More PROPAGANDA WARS: UK BANK TRIES TO SHUT DOWN MEDIA GROUP RTIt’s disappointing to find that the remaining 29 days before the Presidential elections — despite the known data about Donald Trump having so many “ists” capping his description that it’s more efficient to call him a hateful pig who can only see the world through a White male’s lens, and Hillary Clinton’s role as the […]
Read More THE HATEFUL PIG AND THE WARRIOR QUEENMy editorial policy for mentalunrest is simple, if not to a fault: write about events, ideas, truths and creators that others don’t see or attempt to neglect. So — I chose not to write about the Star Spangled Banner sit out by Colin Kaepernick. As a person who decided to sit out the National Anthem […]
Read More KAEPERNICK THOUGHTSAlong with providing safe place for bigots to be bigots and becoming a mass media target as Russian President Vladimir Putin’s boy, presidential candidate Donald Trump has earned a new distinction — an endorsement of sorts by the medieval warriors of Islamic State (ISIL). (Laughing) a lot of knowledge must be a really dangerous thing, […]
Read More WHO DOES ISLAMIC STATE LOVE MORE – TRUMP OR OBAMA?This week’s Sunday Smack inspiration comes from reading Eric Foner’s Gateway to Freedom: The Hidden History of the Underground Railroad, where I was reminded of how the British promised Africans enslaved in America their freedom in return for fighting against George Washington’s patriots during America’s war for independence. That would mean any slave who fought […]
Read More SUNDAY SMACK: TREASON OR SLAVERY?This past week has presented a compelling case for even presidential candidate Donald Trump to turn down his ego for a moment to acknowledge that he’s having a rough time. Aside from his dramatically sliding poll numbers against opponent Hillary Clinton that warrant a separate discussion, the mainstream media has now replaced their “His damn […]
Read More THE GAME OF ‘OPERATION GET TRUMP’Frequent visitors to mentalunrest would not be surprised by my thoughts on the House Select Committee’s report on the 2012 Benghazi, Libya attacks that left US ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead. For you newbies, I think the report’s findings are a joke. Check the following links to get a sense of where I’m coming from: Benghazi […]
Read More THE ALMOST LAUGHABLY IMPOTENT BENGHAZI REPORTIt harms the spirit to think that the 2016 presidential election has distilled our collective vision to a choice between a war hawk who will assuredly leave a trail of Black and Brown limp bodies — as well as a few white Slavic ones — across four continents, and another candidate where there’s a widely-held […]
Read More WELCOME TO 2016 — WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO COUNT THE BODIES?If a pimp with no hos means nothing much more than a broke-azz, fancy dresser in need of a career counselor, how much better off do you think a large house full of pimps will fare? That’s why you shouldn’t be surprised about the house full of pimps in this story who collectively decided to […]
