Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen (About How Little The World Still Knows)

 

"You get your news from Chris Cuomo on CNN when he's married to a woman selling quackery out the back door." 

- The Crack Emcee, NewAge Poop 

 

"My wife is a wellness person, you know. She runs this business where she's learning about homeopathic and all these different things, so she's given me a ton of stuff. I don't even ask what it is." 

- Chris Cuomo, Democrat party royalty, supposed-journalist, and science critic

   

Take a moment to understand what Chris Cuomo can say, on American television, while talking to a Doctor and another journalist - and recieve no pushback. He's admitting he and his wife have a deep proclivity, not just for quackery, but for the Daddy of them all. Two people who are, both, living in a world of madness (being parodied above) while CNN helped them drag society further into it with them. 

I love the vague formulation, "She runs this business where she's learning about homeopathic," which is accepted - again: with no pushback - as though it's perfectly normal for a journalist's wife to be educating herself after she starts charging people for what she's selling (Chris Cuomo's wife is a grifter).

And what is she selling? "Homeopathic and all these different things". When a journalist should know homeopathy is water. "I don't even ask what it is" he says, instead, revealing his worth as a journalist. (His niece, Andrew Cuomo's daughter, also runs a NewAge podcast).

Dr. Oz's wife, Lisa, is also a "reiki master" and homeopath, so one can only assume he's a physician who also doesn't question what the missus is up to. 

RFK, Jr. was supposedly "vetted" by Congress, without a single question tying him to other quacks, or quackery.

 

Which brings us, once again, to the question: if "The Age Of Unreason" was declared by Frank Furedi in the same year Richard Dawkins exposed who "The Enemies of Reason" were (by that time, and specifically mentioning people into homeopathy) then, by now - 20 years after we haven't done a single thing to address a single issue raised back in 2005 - is it fair to say reason's enemies have won, and the west has legitimately gone insane? I mean, how could we ever stop something so few see (or ever saw) as a threat?

 

Take all the time you need,...

 

That's Rich

It's wild to remember Elon Musk was popping a Nazi salute - while complaining about a NewAge "mind virus" - when Naziism sprang from the NewAge beliefs of the Thule Society, and the teachings of Madame Blavatsky.

 

A Fourth Of You Lie Reminder (For Liberals Out There Suffering Under Trump)

Like with Naziism in the 1920s and 30s, as Fascism arrived in Germany, for the late 20th century, the Democrats opened the door for Donald Trump by adopting NewAge in America. (This is why Oprah spoke at every DNC and even got Obama's honors after peddling The Secret). Trump left the Democrat Party, but kept RFK, Jr. and Dr. Oz, so the connection to NewAge quackery - which, clearly, the left and right seem to immensely (and stupidly) enjoy - stays obvious.

Voltaire warned you: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."

So, it should come as no surprise that, here we are in 2025 - long after Vietnam - celebrating the birthday of a nation known for killing babies again.

 

Twenty-Four Seven, Three Sixty-Five, Seven Days A Week, Until You Die

Waking up to hear President Trump's theory, that "Joe Biden died in 2020 and was replaced by a clone," is the latest reminder that, for America in 2024, the political choice was NOT between bad governance under the Democrats or,...whatever MAGA is supposed to be now (I get that "Again" is the late 80s, before the internet, when Trump shined) but a choice between NewAge mumbo jumbo of the flavor delivered on TV with Oprah, or conspiracy theories the way radio used to ladle them out on Coast To Coast AM. 

    

But, no matter which - whether you like 'em or not - you were gonna get it. No one in this country is spared "the crazy." Ever. It's not allowed. Voting for Trump, to escape the influence of Democrat "spirituality," was only going to lead to Trump putting RFK, Jr. and Dr. Oz in charge of healthcare. It was inevitable. There was never going to be a way out. 

   

Clones, Christ, craziness, and even the cosmic - when promising common sense - is the defining feature of American life.

 

NewAge Is Neither Left Or Right

"It was a mistake for Democrats to not listen to the voters earlier and set up a process that would have gotten us in a position when we could've been more competitive. Ultimately, in retrospect, you can't defend what the Democratic Party did because we are stuck with a madman."

These words, from Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, only serve to point out how long it takes for NewAgers to admit their failings.

Actually doing something about thier failings will take much longer, because (as I've said many times) Democrats don't learn. So they don't admit wrong. So they don't apologize. They always prefer to "move on" from what they've done, in hopes that they can either A) outrun it, or B) compel the world to "move on," too.

The desire to "move on" is how Naziism has survived since WWII.

 

Rainbow-Colored Naziism (It's Only Wrong When I Say It)

"If I was a dictator, [NewAgers are] one of the first groups of people that I would eliminate."

How is it that I can start this blog in 1985, talking about the NewAge Movement and how much harm it's caused - not just to the world but to me personally: I've lost a marriage, family, friends, employment, you name it - but today, in 2025, saying NewAge is horrible has morphed into the punchline for a Bill Burr bit? 

    

I'll tell you how: because I've put it all together and the Bill Burr's of the world haven't - and the fascists know it - so I, a black man, will catch hell for decades while Bill Burr doesn't, because Bill Burr's no threat. Consider, in his previous Saturday Night Live monologue, he said "white women" were who's responsible for the backlash to "woke":

"The way white women somehow hijacked the woke movement, generals around the world should be analyzing this....somehow, white women swung their Gucci-booted feet over the fence of oppression and stuck themselves at the front of the line."

Notice: he was analysing it, but (apparently) still hasn't put together those "white women" are NewAgers, putting themselves at the head of the line that's supposed to be for me, but using it to bury me, instead. Not only for noticing but saying something about it. It's truly remarkable.

  

Remarkable because, if you put Burr's observations with those of Norman Finkelstein, about all the trouble "woke" has been causing for minorities, then you can start to understand the authoritarian era were in, and not only how it got started but by who. It was the actions of NewAgers, already wrongly cancelling people like me, who brought us the authoritarianism of Donald Trump. 

     

Conspiracy theorists are suggesting the CIA is using AI chat bots to keep Americans from analyzing things online, but why would that be necessary - or realistic - when the nation's already embraced a long-running religion that's been keeping Americans from thinking for the last 20 years, resulting in an American Civil Rights Movement that, today, is used to defend white South Africans?

 

"I'm A White Man. You Can't Even Hurt My FEELINGS!" - Louis CK 15 Years Ago

 

It looks like the word's out, that Kamala Harris wasn't doing everything she could to stop the genocide in Palestine, as AOC said. For a country that's fully wired, that's an incredible amount of lag-time, between when a lie is spoken and the truth is exposed.

We should work on that. 

 

 Speaking of lag-time, NewAge as a diluted form of Nazi fascism still hasn't sunk in very deeply, yet. Nobody tell Oprah. Let's see how long it takes for a "journalist" to catch on to her own self-deception.

Speaking of self-deception and forms of white supremacy, according to MSNBC, "MAGA world helps raise over $600,000 after woman hurls racist slur at a child in Minnesota," potentially saying a lot about "MAGA world" and how they handle free speech. But first, I'm curious about the woman in question, Shiloh Hendrix - who thinks she's been put in a dire situation - not that she made one for herself. She claimed "I called the kid out for what he was" after the 5-year old took a toy from her diaper bag:

So what would a white 5-year old have been?

So, speaking of self-deception, forms of white supremacy, and free speech in the United States today - for those of you keeping score at home - in Trump's America, you can raise money for calling kids "niggers," and we hate DEI (though the entire country is now a "safe space" and/or a "sanctuary city" for zionists) but any visitor who says anything against Israel can get kicked out of the country. Oh, and universities are also the playthings of Trump and rich zionists. And don't forget the rich South Africans running things, here now, raised under apartheid and acting like it. 

It's all making MAGA's potential for "greatness" feel very elusive.

 

Asking Crazy People To Fix Things (How's That Supposed To Work?)

Drifting from the fascism of the Democrat's NewAge spirituality, to the fascism within the Republican's Christian theocratic version SHOULD be a whiplash, but - instead - it's going as smooth as silk, due to electing a Trump administration full of former Democrats 

 Now we get Jesus AND "alternative" medicine! The Prosperity Gospel AND newscasters who talk to "psychics." It's the "best" of both insane worlds, for the worst of all possible outcomes 

 The US is still in decline

 

Sigh: Nobody Listens To Me

You can't get from whatever NewAgers think they're doing - to Madame Blavatsky who made it up - without going through Adolf Hitler 

   

 Like Voltaire said, you gotta believe some crazy shit to wind up putting Jews in ovens

We're in one of those crazy periods now, when people are retreating into madness, rather than relying on reality, so anything can happen - and will - if you don't count slaughtering Palestinians as anything unusual for the Oprah-loving United States of America to be part of

 

NewAge Democrats Ain't Spent Decades Trying To Feel 'Empowered' For Nothin'

"Democrats have learnt nothing from their 2016 Trump bashing" 

 They've tried to kill Trump. They indicted him four times. They impeached him twice. They changed a law so they could convict him of rape. Hillary Clinton lied that he was in league with Putin, and Stephen Colbert spread the story that he was peed on by Russian hookers. They've sicced a corrupt FBI and the hostile Department of Justice after him. They try to get his wife to leave him. All while waving their amulets, claiming to be witches, seeing power in crystals and waving their hands. No, this new cultish Democrat Party will never learn anything ever again. 

 I've followed elections since 1979, and they're the embodiment of pure evil in American politics

 

I'm Sure The Children Of Gaza Are Happy To Hear Your Yoga Practice Goes Well

It's only when you start seeing articles about yoga in the Wall Street Journal - that chronicler of American capitalism, chaos, and corruption - that you understand what Slavoj Žižek meant in 2001, when he said, "New Age is establishing itself as the hegemonic ideology of global capitalism." 

 Remember, Buddha:
