July 2026

I have been watching news broadcasts of the continuing escalations in the Middle East. I should leave well enough alone. When I stopped watching television, I figured I would find out if the sky was falling. I completed a Hedera module early this morning. I felt like I accomplished something. I return to watch my old YouTube favorites I have relied on for business and geo-political news and they have fallen into the shit pile along with everything else this 'digital platform, social media, content creation' mindset has brought us. In 50 years, the entire 5000 years of human written history will be up dated. The reality we have created with the power of our minds will be replaced by something brighter and better. That is was the machine will tell us.

Had to listen to Pepe Escobar's latest report on what is happening in the Middle East.

It is hard to accept the fact that many of the things I loved are no longer important. I enjoyed reading the news and other sources of information. I found pleasure and a sense of accomplishment adding comment and bring a sharper focus on the corruption, the lies, the absurdity of what we call news media. It's all shit now. Trump had his personal lap dogs at the Justice Department bring frivolous lawsuits against any and all news outlets around the world. Now, the news in this country is a twisted spectacle of manipulation. Trump isn't doing anything wrong. Apparently, Trump isn't breaking any laws with his crypto 'rug pull' tactics. It is smart business. Trump isn't the President of the United States. He is a deal maker. Deal makers lie and steal with impunity. It is all about how much cash they can stick into their own pockets. Bottom line; everyone is a mark.

It looks like the last couple laps I make in life will have to revolve around staying healthy physically and mentally to the best of my ability. I will study the Hedera Platform and the tools they have created. I will complete the courses they offer. I will find a niche that will produce an income stream to sustain my lifestyle. I can make a difference in helping to shape the coming digital utopia. I say that with a dash of sarcasm.

The Trump Administration butchered the 250th birthday of the nation. They got their ass kicked in the Iranian war too. This is what happens when you prioritize loyalty over maturity, leadership, and respect for the rule of law.

Hello July. Back to school!
