― Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

The Invasion began, during the early years of the decade of the teens in the 21st Century, it was a quiet coup, lots of back door deals, and so much money laundering that, new banks had to be invented in Island Countries, many could never truly identify on a map, even if their life depended on doing so. The Invasion spread as stupid seeds were planted in the Mid-West, new editions of old Racist roots regurgitated from the rot of Confederate dung piles, and a new beauty and honor provided, to the White Hood, replaced with Red Hats, and old enemies from nations once deemed the “bad guy,” became “Good, “guys like Nazi’s, Communists, along with Dictators, not only Dictators, but the really hardcore bunch of guys identifying themselves as Despots, and Authoritarianism Advocates. It culminated with the ever-convenient weapon called FEAR, mixed with using Christ, as a means for scapegoating, and the idea that green dollars were the true liquid flowing in the bodies of the rich and powerful.
Flying home back home to LA, from Charlotte NC, via a connection to Boston, (Ya Got To Love the Airline Industry,) I had six, count ‘em six hours on the plane to explore the wonders of a Revolution happening in the United States, partly man-made, partly man-stupid, partly, man-arroganced and mostly man-ignroanced! Sitting in the airport awaiting my flight was Hellish enough, and the array of home-made masks and cellophane garments both alarming and alluring, strolling to the various SUNDRY AirPort Over Priced shops, a bit shocking, discovering that anything with the word SANITIZER, was replaced with the words sold out, or just the vastness of one empty shelf after another. Sitting, on the plane, cramped in a long tube, a petri dish made from aluminum and steel or whatever Man-made product to keep us afloat, and in a semi stasis of living, using my bought from home handy-swipes I poked at the teeny screen, and reluctantly, (really hoping the news would lull me to sleep,) caught up on every bit of disinformation Trump and Pence and Alex Azar could conceive! The invasion was now in natures hands, but the blood of inaccurate, uncaring, uninterested in human lives, (with dire concern regarding WALL STREET,) buttons of PRIORITY about popularity/re-election, and of course EGO, natures turn at Invasion, was moving as fast as the sound of light.
A jerk Trump is president, the jerk, hires two other jerks, Pence and Azar, to feign concern, the first considering science a weaponized attack on Jesus, and the latter, counting his potential for more income for his beloved Pharma Conglomerates. The jerk, Trump surrounds himself, with medical experts, some who also think God punishes those who get sick for being bad Christians, and others like Dr. Anthony Fauci, who will admit that the truth is out there, but to fight a jerk president is much harder than setting the truth free. I landed at LAX, knowing that the invasion was proceeding as planned, with fake news, false hope, and a fraud in the White House, and found no relief knowing that COVID 19, was lingering, lurking and laughing foolheartedly at just how easy it was to infect an already disabled population suffering from paranoia, bigotry and the long-lasting IGNORANCE!
