As the information and disinformation flow increases, more and more individuals and families are simply turning off their television, be it Fox News or NPR. Their lack-of-trust circuit breakers have blown their ability to process any of the infomercials with any degree of rational or emotional certainty. Family members and friends are refusing to discuss or debate any of the many issues that ethically, morally and politically will affect our lives going forward beyond 2024. Our children and our young, coming-of-age generations sense the mix of anger, fear and frustrations. School children know beyond words that despite the heartfelt assurance of their teachers they are not really safe any longer.

Meanwhile the wars, violence and corruption across the globally corporate controlled landscape continues to feed many, many people with fight-or-flight adrenaline; this fear-loaded landscape will be escalated during the next 18 months, and not just in America. Urban residents are facing escalating temperatures and lack of funding to address school funding, child care costs and civic unrest, and the growing bulge of elders transiting from a life of Baby-Boomer Power are entering their last decades with diminished pensions and dramatic decreases in their immune systems' ability to ward off stress and viral exposures in overcrowded cities and understaffed assisted living facilities operated on a corporate funding basis. It looks very much like a Perfect Storm is building, with its epicenter in America and its time line being defined by the challenges of the US Presidential Election 2024. Since America is the largest economic and military geo-political player, this perfect storm has the capacity to radically impact life as we know it across the whole globe.

There are No Wise Men & Women who can help us through this historical phase; it will be up to each of the +160 million US voters to sit tight and collect good notes, pray and reflect on how we all can agree on keeping America and the world a safe place to raise our children and a safe place for our elders as we move forward. There is lots of pertinent research showing that most of the other Western countries have done significantly better than America since the 1980s commondreams.org/news/i…. They have reliable healthcare for everyone, their schools appear more peaceful and more successful academically than ours and their young people do not need to fear a future with hundreds of thousands of student loans.

Mr. Hartman's current article may not be as effective as he is hoping, in part because a significant voter block no longer trust the profit-based US healthcare system that Mr. Fauci was a part of nccih.nih.gov/news/pres… and jamanetwork.com/journal…. His focus on the Louisiana Judge is relevant, but the stark scenario of a younger generation of voters being offered no alternative but two 80-year old politicians is not confidence building for the generations following the Baby-Boomers cnn.com/2023/02/19/poli…. Both the democratic and the Republican parties' elite power structures fear a loss of control, but groups such as No Labels nolabels.org and BraverAngels braverangels.org/are working hard to have alternative presidential choices for US voters craving a center of common sense, for all of us. Across a landscape of US politicians who have been elected and re-elected too many times, perhaps 2024 is the year a majority of voters simply NOT VOTE FOR ANY INCUMBENT POLITICIAN AT ANY LEVEL TO GET A NEW GENERATION OF LEADERS SERVING opensecrets.org/electio… .

Mr. Hartman's citations:

After all, Louisiana District Judge Terry Doughty had gone so far as to falsely claim, in that and two other 2021 cases, that vaccines “do not prevent transmission of the disease,” and that, “the virus has achieved an immune escape from COVID-19 vaccines.”

He even agreed with attacks on Dr. Anthony Fauci for saying that Hydroxychloroquine didn’t cure Covid, and cited Fauci’s assertions that the drug didn’t work in one of his legal opinions as evidence that the Biden administration was lying to the American people.
