As
in the Chinese proverb, from chaos so to can we accomplish something on climate
change. Trump and his cohorts can perhaps swallow the bitter pill of banning
fossil fuels if they are generously compensated, we the earth, have no choice but
to bribe the likes of Trump and the energy companies into converting to 100 %
renewables. I see this as our best hope. There is no need for much more dialogue
or debate if the ban is set within a reasonable amount of time. Complete
conversion to renewables would be an economic boom. Let the lawless take some
credit for the change and we might all get what we want; a sustainable planet.
As
such is the perversion we live, fearing democratic leadership as inept in the
face of a constitutional crisis. Where’s the gusto for impeachment and for
banning fossil fuels?
The
specter of Mueller’s eyes when he finally addressed the public, trembled within,
afraid to go beyond his own narrow mandate of confirmed intelligence. The same
shame was seen later on Pelosi’s face, her denouncing words, neglecting to
mention the truth based on law over politics, daunted. Like Captain Marvel, the
greatest superhero film ever made, she was spawn likewise inept by a confused
system, albeit partisanly corrupt.
We’ve
strayed so long from the truth that its absence strangles us in so many ways.
Our democracy and justice are aloof in a world nauseated by mounting evidence of
lawlessness. Our nation still stuck in a one-party rule thanks much in part to
Senator McConnell. Lacking the common sense to energize our economy with
renewable energy, and going so far as to neglect much needed bank and
investment regulations, ignoring the threat of their collapse again.
The
real division of conservative verses progressive, traditional elitism verses reason-based
democracy is not framing the debate as it should. The fact trump has not been
impeached despite the well over 20 charges he could face is absurdly cowardly,
and of course outwardly corrupt. Even the noble effort of Green’s resolution over
his fitness for office; was disgracefully voted against.
The
freedom Carol Danvers finds inspires us all to use the power we already have
within. Brie Larson, just like in her role on the epic film Short Term 12,
captures the innocence of Captain Marvel, a true Galahad of our times mired
only in the mission before her, in its absolute purist deeds, despite all the
killing.
The
progressive side also struggles with practical change for the greater good. Any
protest without a demand for specific legislative change wastes valuable time.
The left’s distain from endorsing and supporting democratic dissent in places
like Venezuela and Cuba are shockingly deaf to what should be at the core of
every liberal talking point, human rights, dignity and justice. Here lies the
theme of Captain Marvel through her direct logic she is able to help the
oppressed, seeing them for the first time, a redemption out of awareness.
If
this nation doesn’t impeach trump our best bet would be the election of an
honest savior like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren who could win if they get
the vote out on the ground to people struggling, perhaps pretending the hood is
Iowa or New Hampshire. I want to see Cornel West walking the ghetto for voters
and being Bernie and Warren’s intro man at events?! BOTH!! Acting like, you guessed it, Captain Marvel. Danvers
like our current state of affairs is held hostage by an absolute acceptance of
fabricated reality. Someday there will be laws to prevent such mendacity on so
many levels. In Danvers, her world’s truth is hidden from her, and then it is
violently revealed in a suspended virtual state by the good guys.
The
narrative has been glossed over for time and stolen, unable to act on certain
truths inherent in law. The media is panicking to make sense of Trump’s
mountains of detail and spur of the moment breakers like officials claiming not
to trust the president, as congress wastes precious pre electoral season time,
best reserved for impeachments. Pelosi seems to not see the urgency of now, merely
moving forward with hearings, ignoring the simplicity of the argument; namely
the amount of charges you can list even just from the Mueller report and for
God sakes just vote on it. The politics are insulting in its erroneous jest. Perhaps
we’ve strayed so long from truth-based reality that a shadow has cast on Pelosi
blinding her to the importance of the subject being on paper. She is acting as
if there are no other investigations when she says a senate vote would unjustly
exonerate him. The media likewise ignores all the sealed investigations and
some of the massive money trails. The recent news that Barr has stopped an SDNY
investigation and the idea he may be hindering more of them makes the action of
the House that much more important. The truth must be written on paper even if
it is dismissed by McConnell.
Not
since Rogue One has a rebel film given me this much joy even in the face of
such aching despair. The film’s similarity to current affairs may well be
coincidental but even just alone, its sheer magnificence, is a beacon in so
many ways, Captain Marvel in its complexity and chic style sits on top as the
most important and entertaining picture of the genre; a powerhouse not willing
to accept a stolen narrative.
