To Conundrum in Late November

  I do not feel alone and abandoned even though I find myself in the desolate valley, high on a ridge above the roaring creek, trying to make my way across a snow-filled crevasse before dark; even though the sun has already slipped behind the mountain peak, outlining it in a nimbus of glory. Even though I punch through the ice at every step and sink up to my hips and have to use all three remaining limbs to pull out my leg while staring and yearning towards the rocky promontory that offers its sheltering trees and rocks where I might rest out of the whistling menacing wind for a few hours until dawn or I am about to freeze to death, whichever comes first. Even though I slip down a foot or two or ten each time I take a step going across the snow-filled crevasse while imagining being on a tightrope across the Twin Towers, trying to stay on the "high road" to save precious energy by not going down just to go up again.

Was it all a bad dream?

I dreamed the berserkers came, biting their shields, And broke the windows of my house with their iron hatchets. They piled into my kitchen, swarming through the hall.  They found my grandchildren's toys, broke them all. I saw them in the window, looking down on me In my bed, their powerful flashlights shown They used the butts of their lights to smash the glass It rained down on me; their boots ground the glass into me As they descended.    Prostitutes danced above me in my bed And defiled it as I was in it.

A summary from “ The Trouble with Russia ” by Massimo Calabresi and Simon Shuster in Time Magazine . Russians planned a coup in Montenegro on its election day last October, which was foiled by the police. Why Montenegro? If the tiny country joins NATO, then that organization would control nearly every Mediterranean port north of the Bosporus. Russia desperately needs such a port in order to regain competitiveness in the current low-priced oil market. Russia runs on oil, and with oil prices low, Russia’s economy has fallen to less than Italy’s. Looking west and north to rebuild its empire, there have been renewed attacks in Ukraine this year. Military threats are joined with propaganda and government destabilization in Serbia, Estonia, and other Eastern European counties. And they are fomenting unrest in Germany, France and Hungary.

Story of Russian Help in Electing Trump Buried?

Despite a mountain of evidence, people are largely ignoring the fact that Trump was elected with a great deal of covert help by Russia. Consider this:  The only item where the Trump campaign forced a change in the Republican platform— the only item —was in modifying a plank to weaken the party’s stance on opposing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. And Trump representatives said that concern  came from Trump personally.   http://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/2/9/1631858/-Donald-Trump-has-successfully-buried-the-story-that-worries-him-most
