The 2018 crop circle season was different than most previous seasons, having fewer formations than in years past, and fewer jaw droppers of elaborate design. All in all an un-remarkable season when compared to what is usually left behind. This year saw only 37 formations worldwide, and of course not all were authentic. The man-made formations generally lack the complexity & beauty of authentic formations. As always, this gallery has omitted both very simple designs, and obvious man-made circles, leaving us with 25 crop circles for the season. Maybe they took a year off and let the apprentices play.

Traditionally crop circles increase in size and complexity as the end of the season approaches, capping the year off with what is called the jawdropper, or the "best" formation of the year. That didn't happen this year, for the first time ever as I can recall. This year has also seen the fewest number of total formations in many years. Like I said, it's been an off year.
The late comedian Bill
Hicks used to do a bit on the election of George W. Bush as being an
experiment to see if Americans would elect a dumb president. The punch line came on election night when
Dick Cheney whispered to a co-conspirator "I think we can go dumber."
In 2016 "they" doubled down and put all their chips on Donald
Trump to rally the votes of the uneducated, to whom Trump has declared his
undying love.
Despite any outward appearances, "the Plan" is on track and going as desired by the
neo-cons at the black heart of things.
The middle class in America
was effectively destroyed by Bush &
Cheney, and when Obama was elected the neo-conservative republicans thwarted & blocked all efforts to restore the middle
class. All of that just set the stage for
Trump & his plunder monkeys to run
amok dismantling any program that helps the average American.
The Trump administration is the wrecking crew whose job is
to plunder all they can while creating chaotic distractions with everything
from kneeling football players to porn queen scandals. In all the noise and confusion they hope to
stack the supreme court with ultra conservative judges, to make certain we all
keep moving backwards. Any profile of
Trump shows him to be a recipe for disaster,
"Real
power is...I don't even want to use the word...fear"
~Donald Trump - March 31, 2016~
To begin with, the common consensus among those who know
Trump and those who work around him is that he is un-educated, and stunningly
stupid. Just a few examples will
prove the point. He misspelled the word
"tap." He stared directly at
the solar eclipse without protection. He
raw dogs porn stars without protection. When
referring to the country of Nepal,
he calls it "Nipple," and for the country of Niger,
well use your imagination, yup, that's exactly what he calls it. Speaking of calling, Trump habitually calls
foreign leaders in their sleep because he still doesn't grasp the concept of
time zones, although his staff has explained it many times. Stupid.
Perhaps most disturbing of all is he wanted to know why we don't use our
nukes on our enemies.
There was no shortage of warning signs during the 2016
campaign that Trump is a malignant narcissist, bigot and
racist...but nobody really thought he'd get elected, so we laughed it off. Well, we're not laughing so much today are
we?
Just in recent weeks we've seen books about the Trump
presidency coming out with titles like Unhinged,
Insane Clown President, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, Fire
and Fury, and Fear, just
to name a few. In the Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, 27 top psychiatrists and mental
health experts give their evaluation of Trump.
These professionals all agree that Trump is a lying, gaslighting,
cheating, narcissist with delusions of grandeur and a low IQ.
This profile of Trump as a malignant narcissist is not
something we should take lightly. He
thinks and acts as if everything is about him, just like a spoiled child who
always gets his way. It's not as bad if
the malignant narcissist in you life is your boss or mother in law; because they don't have the nuclear launch
codes. The day after Bob Woodward's new
book Fear came out, the New York
Times published an anonymous op-ed piece from a white house insider basically
trying to let the public know there were "adults in the room" who are
trying to protect us from Trumps worst inclinations.
Kavanaughty
Aside from the obvious reason for being nervous about insiders running things; Trumps reaction should concern us
all. When he heard of this op-ed essay
Trump is said to have rampaged thru the white house demanding the newspaper
reveal the author citing "national security" as the reason. Next he demanded the FBI investigate the
matter. How very strange he wants an
investigation for that, but not for the allegations of sexual misconduct against Brett
Kavanaugh. The republicans in
congress had no problem waiting as long as they did to place a new supreme
court judge, so long as it wasn't Obama's guy.
Now that the judge Trump wants to hurry up and place is under accusation
of sexual misconduct, they suddenly want to confirm him before letting his
accuser speak. Trump is fixated on
getting Kavanaugh confirmed on the supreme court because he's on record as
saying no sitting president should be indicted, as well as his opposition to
Roe v. Wade. Why is it we allow this?
Even as team
pussy-grabber senate republicans scurry to ramrod Kavanaugh into the
supreme court, a second accuser has come
forth, Debra Ramirez who claims Kavanaugh attacked her at Yale where he
was a member of the infamous skull &
bones fraternity. With this new
revelation public support of Kavanaugh
has dropped to 31%. On Monday Sept.24,
Michael Avenatti (Stormy Daniels attorney)
said he has been contacted by a former US mint employee who has her own
accusations against Kavanaugh, so just as we've seen in the past, the list of
victims is growing. Hmmm, maybe that's
why republicans are trying to push the confirmation, to get the rapist on the
supreme court before too many more women come forth with their own accusations.
Clearly this man is unfit to "serve" on the high
court, and should be denied the chance; especially with 100,000 missing
documents he doesn't want the public to know about.
What is it about Kavanaugh that exempts him from the same
treatment given to Al Franken? Nothing!
In fact Franken was railroaded out of the senate in the blink of an
eye. The hypocrisy in this
administration is off the chart, and off the rails because if you are a
democrat with a smudge on your record you must go and go NOW;
but if you are a republican sexual predator you get a mulligan, a good-ole-boy
slap on the back and a key to the SCOTUS
restroom.
How about Bill Cosby, who just went to jail? If he can still be held
accountable for sex crimes 35 years ago, why not Kavanaugh?? Oh, I get it, Kavanaugh is not black, and the
KKK are now in the white house...of
course we cannot treat them the same when clearly Kavanaugh enjoys white
privilege, and the senate has already made up their minds before even hearing
from Kavanaugh's accusers. There is a
real pungent stink emanating from WashingtonDC
these days; it's the smell you get when mixing equal amounts of guilt and fear
of prison and it hangs in the air over crazytown like so much swamp gas.
Trump isn't really protecting
Kavanaugh from the 2 accusers he faces, rather if Kavanaugh gets confirmed to
the supreme court, HE will protect Trump against his 19 accusers of
sexual misconduct. Trump actually tried
to keep from attacking Kavanaugh's accuser, but it only lasted one news cycle,
because today he twitter attacked her, and stood firmly by his man just like he
did with Bill O'Reilly, Roger Ailes, Joe Arpiao, and accused pedophile rapist Roy Moore. Trump always sides with the perverts,
pedophiles Nazis & dictators,
shouldn't you be bothered by that?
Back in 1991 hearings were held to confirm Clarence Thomas to SCOTUS, and like now those hearings were
interrupted by Anita Hill who accused
Thomas of sexual misconduct, which of course he vehemently denied. The senators vilified Hill, doing everything
possible to demean & belittle
her. That senate was on the wrong side
of history back then and it still is today.
The only difference is that now we have the me too movement which aims to be a groundswell of support for the
women now accusing Kavanaugh. Not only
will Kavanaugh rule to overturn Roe v. Wade, even worse he will act to protect
Trump from prosecution at every turn.
If this sexual predator is confirmed to the supreme court it
won't just be another case of the good ole boys club protecting their own, it
might just be the death knell of democracy in America.
Trump also has another mental disorder called Mythomania
which means he is given to exaggeration, and outright lying. His penchant for lying and just making things
up was given as the main reason his
lawyers say he cannot testify for the Mueller probe; because he cannot stop
lying. One of Trump's biggest recurring
lies began during the campaign when he boasted he would be too busy to play
golf (like Obama). Since taking office Trump has gone golfing
nearly every single weekend, and always to one of his
properties. He spends one third of his
days visiting various properties he owns, all at taxpayer expense.
Microexpressions
Prior to retirement, my chosen profession was as a
counselor, and as with many things; the more tools one has the better job you
can do. Along the way I discovered the
amazing science called microexpressions;
which are unconscious, momentary facial expressions which mirror what a person
is really thinking. These expressions
are extremely fleeting, usually lasting less than a quarter of a second, and
because they are a subconscious thing, totally unavoidable. Just as with reverse speech, microexpressions reveal the true self in any given
moment. The above photos of Trump have
perfectly captured the microexpression associated with taunting; and it amounts
to daring someone to argue with you. In
this microexpression the tip of the tongue sticks out between clenched teeth,
and it is just seething with arrogance.
Makes all kinds of sense to me.
The mythomaniac in Trump surfaces whenever
he is talking about something he owns, likes or supports. Its always the biggest, best, never seen
before in history kind of hyperbole he just cannot seem to let go of...not even
for a piece of chocolate cake! Makes me
wonder what he is trying to over-compensate for that's lacking in his life?
The narcissist-in-chief's need for constant approval includes
a rally every week because the child-man potus needs his fix. It doesn't really matter to him that
attendance at his rallies is now reduced to mostly the very old, and die-hard
tea party fanatics. I don't know about you, but these to me, are not the
attributes of a "stable genius,"
self-proclaimed or otherwise.
Then there is the whole treason thing where one day Trump
insists he is innocent and the next day talks about giving himself a pardon. Trump is not the first sitting president who
asked if he could pardon himself...that was Richard Nixon. His
lawyers answered no, you cannot give yourself a pardon. Nixon resigned three days later.
"Russia, if
you're listening, I hope you can find those 30,000 emails..."
~Donald Trump on live TV during debate~
If inviting the Russians to hack the emails of your
political opponent isn't treason, then maybe inviting Russians into the oval
office for a private meeting; with Trump being the only American in the room is. Actually, both are treasonous acts. Just two of many.
Trumps treasonous acts are all tied to him being what Putin
calls a useful idiot. When Trump racked up serial bankruptcies all
the international lenders refused to give him money, except of course for Russia. Not once, but many times. Nobody knows how much money Trump owes Putin because
Trump still won't release his taxes.
Whenever the subject comes arises of Putin's obvious control over Trump
we keep also hearing about something called the pee tape; something
about Trump lying on the same bed Obama used during his visit to Moscow,
and having hookers urinate upon him. I
guess it never dawned on Trump until after the fact that every single motel
room in Moscow is not simply
bugged; they're fully wired for hi-res video and stereo sound. Yeah, he is stunningly stupid.
Did you happen to see the photo of Trump snarling with a
double fist pump as he arrived for the solemn observance for the 17th
anniversary of 911? Does this person
have any control over how
creepy he is in public? Last year Trump
addressed the national boy scout jamboree and as he always does, he went off
script; and began telling the young boys about a good friend of his who always
had sexy women on his yacht. The
following day the leader of the boy scouts sent Trump a fiery letter of disgust
at his inappropriate comments. So Trump
jumps up on twitter and claims the leader of the boy scouts just sent him a
letter saying his speech "was the
greatest anyone has ever given to the boy scouts."
You see what we're dealing with here, right? Unhinged is the word that keeps popping up in
my mind, stunningly stupid, unhinged malignant narcissist with the
understanding of a fifth grader. Just so
you know; that last bit about Trump having the understanding of a young child
wasn't me taking a cheap swipe at POTUS,
no it was his chief of staffJohn
Kelley who said that!!
From "the highest
audience ever for a presidential inauguration" to "I am a very stable genius": Trump
has shown us exactly who he is, except for the criminal part, and I think we all
know that is coming out soon as well. In
TrumpTower
there are sprinkled about, framed covers of Time
Magazine featuring a photo of Trump before the election. The thing is, not one of them is authentic,
every one is a fake. Trump had them made
so people would think he is important. Fake
right down to his tan & hair, lets
just add that to Trumps profile. Fake,
its all fake!
For one who favors locking children in cages and calling
people dogs, and scum this child-man has a peculiar weakness. His ego is so fragile he cannot stand even
the kind hearted (mostly) jokes at the Washington
correspondents dinner, so like a pouty child he didn't attend. When hundreds of school kids descended on the
nations capitol to demand something be done to stop school shootings ... Trump
left town to go golfing, in Ireland, (and just like every damn weekend, we paid
for the entire trip.) So we
can add coward to Trumps profile.
Those bone spurs he used as an excuse to duck out of military service
don't seem to have hurt his golf game, yeah coward. To think he has the unmitigated audacity to
want a military parade in his honor.
Cannot be done, he has zero honor, no parade fatso!
Trump likes to brag about making himself a wealthy man because
he parlayed the million bucks daddy gave him into an estate, (not
empire) worth less than 2 billion dollars. Guess what?
If Trump had placed daddies million into a high yield savings account
and left it alone he would have over eight billion dollars by
now. Yeah, stable genius: he knows
everything about where horses are kept. (that
one was mine;)
Trump has gone from being a weekly reality show shill about
firing people, to a daily reality
show about Donald Trump and how he is using the presidency to increase his own
wealth as he tries to stay out of jail.
It should by now be obvious to all that Trump is a vile
parasite who will use the republicans and everything else to remain in office,
damn the law and damn the FBI, he simply
doesn't care, because frankly, he is quite insane. What must be done to save any semblance of
decency in this country is to force Trump from office using every weapon at our
disposal. We must also concentrate on
his one glaring weakness, that narcissist ego.
While those "insiders" who wrote that they are
protecting the country from Trump are busy with legal and constitutional
remedies; there is a powerful weapon the rest of us can use and we call it ridicule. Trumps ego is so fragile his staff prepares a
daily "briefing" for him containing only news items that stroke that
giant festering ego, they coddle him with real fake news just to keep
him from boiling over. That suggests to
me that a relentless bigly campaign of Trump ridicule might be enough to
provide that little shove sending him over the edge to full goose bozo.
Publicly ridiculing Trump would work like magic due to his
inability to "let go" of things that piss him off. For crying out loud the man is still fighting
Hillary, still insisting his inauguration crowd was the biggest ever and still
demands there were three million illegal voters in the last election. If we could just get the people who really
want positive change to commit to publicly ridiculing Trump at every
opportunity I think we could force him to resign...it would simply be too much
for him to handle. Maybe some
billboards, or full page ads in prominent newspapers. The possibilities are endless because he is
so very easy to ridicule; there is plenty of free ammunition, and he gives us
more every time he opens his mouth.
As if they were reading my mind, world leaders at the UN yesterday provided an excellent example of what I'm talking about when Trump addressed them. With his regal pompous attitude Trump opened with his favorite brag "No other president has done so much in their first two years as I have." They laughed at him. The look on his face was priceless as the reality cramps set in. Looking bewildered, he mutters, "That wasn't the reaction I was looking for." Later, after the sting wore off a bit he completely reversed himself by claiming it was planned that way. That little lie is on the house because the expression on his face will never get old. See what I mean, he is totally vulnerable to ridicule. I suppose it is worth noting that here, in reaction to ridicule, Trump once again displays the microexpression associated with taunting.
We should do our absolute best to keep the focus of the
ridicule on Trump and his gang of political whores. I don't condone or indulge in the demeaning
of those who voted for trump because we're gonna need them if we ever really want
to make this a country of united
states. Claiming that he loves the
uneducated; he sold them a bill of goods to get their votes, locking it in with
lots of racist comments and vile hatred.
Vote Your Voice
Those who still support Trump are much
harder for me to understand. After all
that is being revealed about Trump, I simply cannot imagine why anyone would
believe, or trust him. Unfortunately,
everyone gets a vote here (supposedly)
so our path is clear. Vote in the
mid-terms and vote with your heart in 20/20.
Trump reminds an awful lot of us of another ego-maniacal
power hungry racist who came to power in Germany. Before anyone could react that guy took over,
dug in like a tick and it took world war two to finally defeat him. The coming mid-term elections are a (slim)
chance to toss this genocide clown out on his fat ass, and maybe prevent world
war three in the process. He
has shown us just how unstable and uneducated he is, and he's also
shown us he is a truly vile excuse for a human being. For crying out loud people, he has repeatedly
said he wants to use nukes to address diplomatic problems; what more do we need
to see before we act?
We desperately need to impeach Trump, nullify the 2016
election, and finally get the worms out of Washington
and disqualify the whole administration.
We need to hit the reset button, and reboot true democracy while we
still have half a hope of doing it.
Yes I know we need to dismantle the electoral college, and I
know the fix is in, that all our elections are rigged and interfered with on
every level: from voter suppression, to gerrymandering and all their other
dirty tricks. With all this you'd think
they wouldn't bother if they knew for a fact they'd win the election; but they
keep the pressure on leaving no stone unturned...especially in the area of
discouraging certain groups of people from voting at all. Maybe they have to keep all the pressure on,
all the time because if something was ever to stampede the voters, maybe that
would negate all their cheating games and other crimes. Yeah, I know, "if voting really changed things it would be illegal." But ya
know what? Maybe that only becomes true
if you use it as an excuse to not vote!
So Trump has become the final cinder block in the dumbing
down of Americans; which actually began before the tea party diversion. The tea party with all its bullshit was a
highway spike strip tossed out to cripple democracy. Don't forget the left wing and right wing are
on the same bird, they work in unison (behind the scenes) and the flight
plan never changes. This is our
country, and if we fail to protect and defend it from enemies foreign and
domestic then maybe, just maybe we don't deserve it anymore, because in case you
haven't noticed, America
is being dismantle right before our eyes.
Democracy isn't dying in darkness, it's being murdered in broad
daylight.
