It's time to play, who would you rather?

Vlogging, Big D style!

If you're encountering technical difficulties deciphering what yours truly is ranting on about outside one of the great/abhorrent (depending on your critical thinking skills) buildings in all of the land, then try clip below.

                                                                                                           
The following is a summary for those scared of watching a stranger telling it how it is!

In a nutshell I'm proposing the question, who would you rather (a fun filled game that could cause rioting in your home akin to playing Monopoly)? An illiterate family man that created two fake wars, in the process wasting a trillion dollars of taxpayers' money and slaughtering 500,000 humans or a an illiterate racist maniacal false truths adulterer who has yet to get on the slaughter bandwagon, but is showing signs of warmongering. (If you guessed that the former is Georgie and the latter is Donnie, then you're correct).

To help you make your decision, imagine that you're stranded on a desert island (I had to go there), which poor excuse for a President do you trust to be your companion, and in case of an emergency eat to stay alive. Remember, how you answer will determine who is America's 45th best President, no pressure.

PS. The man approaching me at the end of the clip is not secret service just one of those nosy 'bless your heart' Southerners.

The American obsession

Raise your hand if you spend time watching TV (seriously, does anyone own a TV in 2018?), streaming shows, browsing the web, posting on social media, relying on a plastic device? If your hand is up chances are you're using American brand names. Now if you rely on the aforementioned to the extent that it consumes more of your life than actually living then congrats, you're a human that is officially wasting your life away!

We’re all going to die, so while you're alive tabulate how much time you spend on American creations, compared to say: riding a bike, smelling roses, protesting (as in making a stand in public against injustice), eating breakfast with loved ones, giving the downtrodden a hand. I can just picture brains exploding, not pretty, is it? I don't know what's worse, Americans getting in lost in a plastic lifestyle or those living outside the U.S. desperate to get on American owed sites to revel in anti-Americanism.

We have two choices as humans (especially of the variety that live in places with clean drinking water and a half decent life expectancy). We can either leave this world having spent more time on American creations then actually living or detox from the white noise, so we can actually have an obituary written about us that doesn’t involve he/she spent more time on devices than spontaneously being lost in the physical world. Making a snow angel is way more cathartic than checking your mentions on social media.

My advice to non-Americans: if you're obsessed by this great nation, please move here, don't listen to the hysteria from Neanderthals who happen to be in government, America's always open. Stop using all things America and make the move, you'll feel better celebrating/putting down America while you live on its soil. Next time you do down the American technology rabbit hole, step back and use your passport. To those without documents, fear not, the U.S. still respects the undocumented, after all, this is a land built and founded by humanity in all its form.

My advice to Americans: just because you own most of the world's most famous brands and pretty much the whole world is connected by an American product, doesn’t mean we should celebrate it by sitting at home and wasting away. I know getting arthritis and losing your eyesight on plastic devices is all the rage, but just say no!

If you think long and hard, you'll realize that it's embarrassing just how of what we do 24/7 has American influence. Who do you know in your circle that doesn't use a product associated with the following: Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Netflix. Scary isn't it? That's just the tip of the iceberg...Look in your pantry, wardrobe, cinema/TV, music you consume, and you'll soon realize you're as pro-American as they come.

Time to practice what I preach, time to shut off the white noise and get out and protest against humans with their heads down. You never know your luck in a big city: one day humans might just spend more time smelling roses than fondling plastic devices. Deep down no one wants to die a life not lived, so I recommend switching off and making a snow angel, if that's too hard, roll down a hill.

Hungarian Parliament, 2/20/2018

PS. Make sure you get out an about and breathe in natures finest, before you damage your eyes reading this article.

Time to ratify the 28th Amendment

The President of the United States (POTUS) has a long history of either backing human rights abusers via cloak and dagger methods (CIA for those of you playing at home) or flat-out lusts over them in person. Case in point, Ronald Reagan was a master, not only openly backing the Contras in the 80's (carried out 1300 terrorist attacks in Nicaragua) but also the Taliban in 1983 (I'll let you think about that one next time someone dare mention that Ronnie is a legend) against the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. Then you have George W. (refer below) and George H. Bush who has blood on his hands as CIA director and 41st President (butchering thousands of Panamanians for his spat with Noriega and paved the way for Saddam Hussein to invade Kuwait, just so his son can get back at daddy's pal later on). Clinton who was too busy womanizing to use American might to stop the ghastly genocide of some one million Tutsi by the Hutu-led government in Rwanda. Obama will have to live with the fact that he decided to visit Riyadh four times, there's a reason why he authorized U.S. military drone attacks on Yemen, Saudi's despise the Shiite leadership in Sana'a.

(Side note: The only saving grace for Democrats is that they don't preach family values and small government. Republican Presidents increase taxes to fund wasteful wars and think they own family values, when in fact they love to contradict themselves. Rep. Tim Murphy of Pennsylvania ring a bell? You know, the anti-abortion politician that impregnated his mistress and had the audacity to ask her to have an abortion. My opinion still stands, both parties are too conservative, we need new parties that represent a real liberal democracy, ones that don't use taxpayer dollars for wasteful military spending, capital punishment and putting people behind bars).

For those with shorter memories...George W. Bush kissed King Salman and receiving a medal, so to Obama and that subhuman who happened to turn 72 today (his birthday wish is probably to trade in his third wife for a fourth and no doubt consolidating his support from Christian conservatives, they love a philanderer as seen by 80% of Evangelicals backing him in 2016). If you've followed my blog you'll know how much I "adore" the House of Saud and their Wahhabi doctrine, all they've done is play the U.S. to perfection, taking their arms and growing their terror network globally -Al-Qaeda, Al-Nusra Front, ISIS are the "beautiful" babies they've birthed.

Why do I mention the leader of the free world's hypocrisy? On 6/12/2018 the DPRK received legitimacy on the world stage via their supreme leader, aided and abetted by China. Singapore and good old Uncle Sam. We don't need some unhinged despot who happens to lead the U.S. tell the world that it's an honor to meet Kim Jong-un. This is why I want aliens to take over, it's downright sad that taxpayers dollars are used to fund the travels of an empty headed POTUS so he can praise a man who starves his people and kills anyone who dare questions him cause he's all about using nukes as a thought control tool. How 'bout instead of signing a hollow document, we actually have a President that stares a maniac in the face and tells him to feed his people and accept liberalism before having a photo opp. Some would say what's the big fuss, granted the U.S., China and Singapore are both ruthless when it comes to human right abuses, one look at their death penalty practices says a lot, not to mention mass incarceration (BTW the U.S. still leads the world in this category).

The U.S. is all about promoting freedom and keeping human rights abusers in check, so the time has come for the POTUS to ensure the country he/she leads is free of the filth that should have no place in a modern advanced nation, I call for an amendment to be made to the Constitution. I'm no Constitutional lawyer, but in plain English I propose the following...

On this day 6/14/2018, I hereby call upon the 115th United States Congress to ratify the 28th Amendment: No POTUS shall kiss, hug, shake hands, receive a medal from a leader that represents an illiberal state. Furthermore, one that suppresses their populace and engages in racism and bigotry in all forms. To prove the U.S. is a beacon of liberalism, each POTUS is required to ensure America rises above partaking in practices not befitting of a modern advanced nation. We endeavor to lead the world by example, not just on empty rhetoric.

If you ever feel the need to vomit when a POTUS lectures the world on freedom, type the following into a search engine: W Bush kissing Salman. I will never get over the fact that Americans re-elected an illiterate nut-job for orchestrating two fake wars, built on the premise of eradicating terror networks, the same evil that Bush likes to get touchy-feely with. Here's hoping we learn from history and don't repeat the same mistake in 2020, re-electing an illiterate nut-job (with the bonus of racism and sleaze) who calls Kim Jong-un a talented leader.

Terror circus comes to town

Preface: I don't care if there are 25 million guns in Texas, I'm going to call-out the insecure folk that hide behind weapons of mass destruction. As much as living in a pinkie paradise, like say Maryland is more accommodating to liberal rabble-rousers, there is a certain element of excitement in educating/offending folk living in the largest and most influential red state. Even though Texas' big metropolitan areas are always consistently blue and open-minded, we're still close enough to the 'stuck in the time warp' confederate bumpkins that gets us urbanistsas rocking and rolling when they come to town, case in point: America's foremost terrorist group (NRA) inflaming the egos of their redneck base (to put it nicely).

I'm old fashioned when it comes to protest, I prefer telling-it-like-it-is up close and personal. For this reason, I'm outraged at the security detail that is present in downtown between 4-6 May, thanks largely to two uncivilized taxpayer-funded figureheads that side with the mass shooting professionals. (BTW, any other politicians that back the NRA all have blood on the hands, sending prayers after mass slaughter is criminal when you do nothing to tackle their inspiration). People have been told to stay home from work, China will be proud that the land of liberty has fallen victim to the police state. Still, it won't stop me from partaking in a full-blown peaceful protest.

Seeing as humans spend more time with their heads down on devices than conversing face-to-face in person, I'm also protesting online. A little birdie tells me that earthlings are now incapable of reading a blog post (raise your hand if you've read all 72 of my posts), it seems 280 characters is now the equivalent to a 500-word essay. For those not familiar with my twitter activity (which mostly rile up Wahhabi clerics disguised as American conservatives), I give you my five-tweet protest.

Cavalcade of America's leading domestic terror cell #NRA2018 has infiltrated Dallas @VP @POTUS headlining this sadistic love-fest. Hopefully they'll highlight the fact that armed citizens cause more havoc than immigrants/undocumented. Remember Charles 'altar boy' Whitman?

The land of the free does have restrictions on murder gadgets, refer to #NRA2018 banning members to come armed when @VP @POTUS make their appearance - oh, the irony! Brings tears to my eyes knowing taxpayer-funded officials lust over weapons used for exterminating humans.

@VP in Dallas as a keynote speaker #NRA2018 for those hiding under a rock, Mike Pence believes in gay conversion therapy and is pro-gun (killing machine), forget being a compassionate Christian, he desperately aims to please Islamic fundamentalists.

Note to kiddies: if you grow up to be a thrice married adulterer that dabbles in bigotry, illiteracy, skulduggery and gun-lust, you to can take the moral high ground as @POTUS. In other news, U.S. still #1 (developed world per capita) in firearm homicide, so much for terrorism...

#NRA2018 attendees: time to evolve and not rely on the Second Amendment written by slave owners. I propose the following amendment: each citizen has the right to quality universal healthcare. Who knows, one day the U.S. will top the life expectancy list, that would be something!

Apricot revolution? Not quite...

In laymen’s terms, I'll fill in the dots for the tiny number of earthlings losing sleep over the nation that has the apricot as its national fruit. Why apricot revolution? I use this term to describe the recent events in the capital, Yerevan. Finally, Armenia has decided to join other former Soviet satellites in denouncing the oligarchy. Ukraine (Orange) and Georgia (Rose) have had their version of political revolution in modern times, however, this one is of greater interest to yours truly (blame my ancestry and an obsession to read, write and speak loudly in my mother tongue).

By no means does 10,000 (0.30% of population, equivalent to 1.1 million Americans protesting) residents taking in part in peaceful protests mean that democracy will magically become a daily part of life. Russia still exerts major influence in all corners of Armenian life, from vocabulary, military presence to nepotism in political circles. Serzh Sarkisian was a military strongman who bought himself two presidential terms, then did the classic 'I'm a democrat disguised as a dictator move made post his Presidency made changes to the Constitution where the President will be a symbolic ribbon cutter, so he can take on the role of Prime Minister (Ala Putin-Medvedev). Little did he know that Armenian do protest outside of April 24 (the genocide has power over Armenians that clouds critical thinking allowing many to forget living in the present - best left to dissect for another day. A little ironic that the mass protest was in April, with Sarkisian eventually falling on his sword on April 23.

For those among us who understand the inner workings of the Armenian political system, this won't change much. The largest bloc in parliament is still Sarkisian Republic Party, full of its cronies and their family members who have their fingers in every facet of Armenian industry. The positive is that Nikol Pashinian (former editor of a liberal daily) leader of Yelk (holds only 9 seats in the 105-seat parliament) lead the upheaval and managed to force a concession from the oligarchs that have for so long ruled with an iron fist, which to the outside is interpreted as business as usual. As an old American couple once told me at Zvartnots airport, Yerevan reminds them of Paris - glorious history, beautiful parks, fashionable people driving European cars. That is the facade of the chosen 1% of the population, dominating the touristic areas that visitors see. What they don't witness is 20% unemployment and the 30% of the population living below $3 a day.

Now the hard part begins, a KGB style political operative known in Armenia as the gambler may have vacated the halls of power, but his party still wags the dog that is the Putin's Armenia. We in the diaspora are living out superficial lives and occasionally we wake up and want to spill Turkish blood over the events in 1915, however that same enthusiasm is never aimed at the present genocide, a cultural and economic one where we are selling out the country to Russian interests. Neighboring Georgia has an association agreement with the EU and is very forward about integrating with European ideals, whereas Armenia struggles to divorce itself from the Mother Russia yolk (this explains why EU flags during protests have been non-existent).

Whenever I have visited Armenia I spoke in formal Armenian, yet some locals would be bemused, acting surprised why I didn't speak Russian. Even spelling on street signs/buildings is in incorrect Armenian. April 23, 2018 should be the start of the beginning of the end of Russian influence and the rebirth of an Armenia that has 10 million strong diaspora that has little in common with the Fatherland.

Putting in an apolitical leader and calling for new elections is one thing; what's needs is a free and fair vote that leads to liberalism penetrating the halls of power. Maybe if the diaspora transfers the same energy as they do into beating the genocide drum towards their brethren having what we take for granted, liberalism, then maybe apricots will symbolize more than just fruit.

Note: to the likes of the Kardashian clan (feeling dirty just saying their name), we don't need your input into the conversation over the future of the country. Snake oil salesman who major in pornography may achieve success in the U.S. (as the current illegitimate President has proved), but Armenians can do without the influence from a family full of plastic narcissists.
