Disclaimer

Maybe sparked in a restless, dream, but I awakened with an inexplicable bent to compose a rational disclaimer for these upside-down times. Only to realize there is simply no denying our current societal mass lunacy. 

There is no refusing responsibility for our culture's inflamed and worsening headline violence. Yet, a disclaimer would list the usual suspects of shadow guilt and complicity: callous and venal media, corrupt public officials, and faceless, unelected power bosses, bureaucrats who quietly decide the sacrosanct boundaries of everyone's fragile freedoms. 

Self-promoting social designers, whose someday agendas envision a mythical world of centralized unity, and the sheer dominance over personal belief and behavior. Slander and Liable were seen slinking around a corner, both now irrelevant, leaving town for good.

There is no disclaimer for our Constitution tossed into the shredder, laws picking their friends, or the American ethic of justice as a brokered commodity. Crass, open daylight influence peddling is a crypto vocation if you have connections, and a well-crafted pedigree of deceit.  

No one has to be truthful at all. Not required by legacy media, government fiefdoms, or the public. Understandable how most folks tune out the hubris and malarkey, but any disclaimer must delineate where the responsibility ends: It ends with me. I still need the truth.

Binary

Binary choices are always ruthless by nature. One applicant, controlled and scripted, parsing every public word. The other, reflexively candid, never stops talking and self-promoting.  Love or loathe, or some pragmatic in-between view, the binary choice couldn't be simpler. With both candidates, prior agendas will continue, with one big contradiction.  Harris can not claim both realities: Harris can not say there is "no space" between Joe Biden, but also reversing now on so many issues. So far, there's no explanation with weeks remaining.  Methodical hiding is a strategy as Basement Biden successfully proved. But, it's the opposite of both transparency and credibility.

Be Wary

Be wary of smiling pundits. Disagree, if you can. But, the following is true by my experience: there is no longer a free and fair press in the US.  News platforms have become propaganda pushers of corporate and political policy. American investigative journalism is dead. Facts take a back seat to spin. Narrative is more crucial than accuracy of source.  News stories are too often headlined with brazenly misleading distortion, intentional inclusion and exclusion based on whatever supports their self-interest. What you accept as verified fact can greatly affect your life. Do your own research, check important stories of interest independently. Who's behind the message that is so ardently promoted?  News networks, today, cannot be trusted to adhere to codes of conduct that prioritize truth and impartiality. Power politics and their myopic, partisan agents are the information players on your screens, hoping to influence. Be wary of smiling pundits.

Strictly Opinion

360°, every view is a bad one in this election. The scripted, ugly political machinations are typical. It is continually painful and regrettable that crass personalities and openly flawed characters must be factored out with both starkly undesirable candidates.  Racial identity, gender, bombastic rhetoric, and shallow, transitory issue positions are all thoroughly irrelevant now. Capability does critically matter. The biggest picture voters must consider a singular, consequential question: Which presidential candidate do America's sworn archenemies clearly and desperately favor?
