The weather continues very warm and sunny and the nights are warming up, as the seeds spring up in their little pots, soon to be moved into the garden soil. There’s nothing like home-grown food, it tastes better, it is better and you don’t have to travel to a market to get it fresh, fresher than any market could ever offer. Tomatoes, big ones and cherry, lettuce, radishes, beets, yellow summer squash, green scallop squash, butternut and acorn squashes for winter, cucumbers and cilantro. Not everything I’d like will grow in this high desert with its high summer temperatures, but I found what will and it’s enough to provide most of my veggies.
As the garden grows, so does the war in Iran. Trump keeps saying one thing and then contradicting himself and everyone else the next day, which is a great help in making the Fog of War far more dense than seems necessary, but he’s a sly old dog and it all has a purpose. His latest unfounded and unverified blurt that there’s positive talks now with Iran has caused the price of oil to drop suddenly even though no one knows of any such talks.
I think the real purpose of this war isn’t just to stop Iran from nuking people. It’s to effect a realignment of global commerce and governmental cooperation. The UN has proven itself to be worse than useless while NATO teeters on being totally ineffective, as the UK plunges deeper into its socialist Big Brother dictatorship. The goal appears to be to drag all of Western Europe in with them and the result so far is a disintegrating EU.
With all these alliances falling apart, an alliance between Russia and the USA is beginning to look possible. If this happens, Eastern Europe will join it along with the Middle East and much of the East. This will force Western Europe to, one by one, also join. China will then be left out of the largest economic bloc ever created on Earth and have no choice except to merge with it. Thus we will have the formation of a global government based on economic cooperation.
My hope is that all nations will become part of a unified economic corporation and like all corporations, the leaders of these nations will find themselves to be officers and members of it’s board and their positions of national leaders with dictatorial powers will fade, because no nation will be able to dictate to the whole.
Humanity is evolving. We must, to keep up with the evolution of our technology. This is the great goal of AI, to guide us, to predict what must be done to keep us on course.
