We are Alpha

 

 

It was twenty years ago that I started publishing Earthfamilyalpha.

It was November of 2004 and a corrupt, war mongering R had been reelected POTUS. We were all crestfallen.  Four more years of Bush was simply unimaginable. And yet it came with "You are doing a heck of a job Brownie" as the residents of New Orleans fled their homes as waters submerged them entirely.  Bush did a flyover.

So I decided I would start a blog and write almost every day until the situation changed. And in 2008, a half black man, raised by white grand-parents became the first man of color ever elected as president.  And he beat his formidable challenger and partner of former President Clinton in the primary as a first term senator.  McCain was washed out to sea by the collapse of Wall Street and the housing and mortgage crisis that came with it.

Bush was elected in 2004 over John Kerry by a margin of 35 electoral votes (286-251) with a 3 million popular vote lead. ( 62 to 59 million) He beat Gore by 5 electoral votes in 2000 yet lost the popular vote by 1/2 million.

And now, 20 years later, we have another corrupt, hate mongering R reelected into the Presidency.  His campaign of misogyny and racism, combined with his xenophobic war mongering prevailed over an electorate that barely knows the name of both their senators. And for the first time in American history, a convicted Felon will also become the oldest president in our history. And even though the Rs consider this a mandate to paint everything red, he didn't even get a majority of our votes. (49.8%)

This from the New Republic:

"CNN’s Harry Enten reports that Trump is now under 50 percent for the popular vote, and his margin is the forty-fourth worst out of 51 presidential elections since 1824. Four Democrats won Senate seats in states that Trump won (Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada), compared to zero in the 2016 and 2020 elections. And while Republicans held on to their House majority, if results hold, their 221–214 margin will be the smallest majority in the 50-state era. "

So, as this R takes his oath this January, he is lame. And his so called mandate is a myth.

But as  Albert Einstein once quipped, "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."And the reality of a mandate may also be a very persistent one. And as the first convicted criminal to be returned to office, his criminal nature will also return.  And this makes him different from the Bushes and Reagan.

It may be more like Nixon. Even though he eked out a victory in 1968 by 20 electoral votes, he crushed McGovern in 1972 by 503 votes.

Less than 2 years later he resigned.

But Nixon didn't have Fox news.  And today's R's do not have the character of Barry Goldwater. And our legacy media does not have the moral clarity or the ownership that allows it. Our R friends love to love their Bibles.  And the Bible says that the Love of money is the root of all evil.

Evil's roots are in the garden.

Human kind is on the precipice. 

Climate Change must be addressed now if not by the Nations then through the Cities by organizations such as C 40, and in time, by Cyberstates. Because our governments and our corporations have delayed for too long, strategies will have to include Mitigation and Adaptation.

Solar and Wind Energy production must be accelerated to replace fossil fuels.

Stationary and Mobile Energy Storage must become ubiquitous and transportation of all modes must become electric.

Human habitation must evolve to reduce consumption and increase comfort.

Plutocratic Corporations must be replaced by Democratic Cooperations so that consumers become buyers and producers become providers.

Artificial Intelligence must be removed from profit taking and controlled by limiting the enormous amounts of energy that they require so that this tool is used for the good of all of Earth's inhabitants.

Nuclear weapons must be destroyed.

Human population must be managed to sustainable levels.

In essentials,  we must have Unity.

In non-essentials, we enjoy our Liberty.

And in all things, we practice Charity

And so, rather than writing every day, or starting a pod cast, or beginning a hunger strike,  or continue to grieve the naivety of our geographic democracy, I'm going to actually start what I started here 20 years ago.

Since its inception, the primary thesis of Earthfamilyalpha has appeared on the home page.

With the advent of advanced global communication, new forms of social contract can be created which transcend the geographic state. These new cybercoops or cyberstates will bring humankind to higher levels of cooperation and understanding.

We as people of conscience can come together using the communications network and devices that didn't even exist when this blog was born. We are no longer bound by geography. We are cyberbeings.  And for now, we are free to choose our future.  We participate in our geographic state, but do not identify with is.

The new Earthfamilyalpha website will be up in a few days.  Our plan is to have a global convention next November.  At this convention, we will write our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.

We are Alpha.
