MICROSOFT, DYSTOPIA, AND MAKING THE FUTURE A SADLY ‘ACQUIRED TASTE’
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, MONDAY MARCH 20, 2023) — One the cusp of spring, THE PLANET takes note of yet another in the endless “advances” in technology and artificial intelligence (AI).
Microsoft has just introduced an offering for its Office package. It’s being used initially by what the company calls 20 “enterprise partners.” It will be made available to the consumer market in the coming months, the company says.
The product, 365 Copilot, can do various tricks, like a dog giving you a paw to shake hands. Mostly, Copilot will teach users to roll over and play dead.
“Copilot gives you a first draft to edit and iterate on — saving hours in writing, sourcing, and editing time. Sometimes Copilot will be right, other times usefully wrong — but it will always put you further ahead,” Jared Spataro, an executive vice president at Microsoft, wrote of how the tool will work in Word.
Right. How many times have you heard of a new technology will “save time and increase productivity?” In the rewritten language of such Newspeak, such a phrase actually means “overload and overwork,” since users will be forced to fill that “saved time” with more work. Warning to the bedraggled work drones: Burnout Ahead.
“Usefully wrong” refer to predictive text gone wild, hampering not helping the drafting of documents untouched by human hands. Early users report Copilot’s “hallucinations,” machine-crafted messages that sound plausible to the software but read as inaccurate or bizarre to humans. AI lacks nuance, processes words literally, gets facts wrong, misinterprets meaning and intention, and its summaries exclude important details. What could go wrong?
These generative “writing” features will continue to dumb-down organic literary. The ramifications will be the fuller realization of the Orwellian nightmare. Citizens, particularly young people who by experience depend on high tech, will be easy prey for tech-conditioning similar to brainwashing.
———- ooo ———-
The name itself, 365 Copilot, reveals more than it should. This software will be constantly with you in the copilot’s seat, ready to move into the pilot’s chair. The “365” speaks for itself. Think Big Brother’s telescreens. Proponents say human can override 365 Copilot or even turn it off. Great. Only two problems with that: first, if you turn it off, why have it in the first place? Second do you think a company that purchases this system for its employees will allow it to be shut off? Not a chance.
Linking this development with political history, THE PLANET can only issue the warning with respect to an onward and headlong rush to totalitarianism, which is always dependent on mind, body, and thought control. The all-powerful State has never been more enabled or made more inevitable than it is at this moment. Thank you, high tech.
Be very scared.
———- ooo ———-
Artists have been on the looming threat of technology to humanity since the industrial revolution, including movie makers, perhaps the best at it. Here are THE PLANET‘s all-time best films of dystopia:
- 10. THX-1138 (1971): George Lucas’ directorial debut. Sex and reproduction are outlawed, and the state controls citizens through drugs. Exact conformity is insured by a device called “mind lock.”
- 9. Colossus: The Forbin Project (1971). Colossus, a supercomputer protected from human interference to control nuclear weapons, teams with its Russian Counterpart, Guardian, to enslave humanity. Chilling.
- 8. Alphaville (1965) Jean Luc Godard’s meditation on the tech mind-fuck. On the planet of Alphaville, emotion is outlawed. AI runs society. Get out of line and die. Obey and live in a dehumanized flat line.
- 7. Moon (2009): Voracious energy needs turns humanity into a commodity that serves one purpose: to serve giant corporations. Tech-heavy society dwarfs the human race into irrelevancy.
- 6. Dark City (1998): Precursor to Blade Runner. Humanity is enslaved by priests of high tech, who create “reality.” A small band of rebels tries to escape virtual reality as the secrets pile up.
- 5. A.I. (2001). Stanley Kubrick meets Steven Spielberg. The Pinocchio morality tale updated. A boy robot wants to become human … and loved. The manipulation is Spielberg’s. The dark conclusion pure Kubrick.
- 4. Ghost in the Shell (1995): In a world of artificiality and the virtual, the commander of Public Security Section No. 9 begins to question her own humanity, a most dangerous thing to do. Manga fans will love it.
- 3. The Truman Show (1998): Jim Carey’s greatest performance. Since birth, Truman has been a reality TV star, only he doesn’t know it. Reality is fake, emotions simulated, situations are virtual, and life sanitized.
- 2. 1984 (1984): The best film version of Orwell’s prophetic and terrifying novel. War is Peace. Hate is Love. You know the story. Winston Smith tries to recovery his lost humanity, but Big Brother wins.
- 1a. A Clockwork Orange (1971): Never has a book been better adapted to screen than in this Kubrick masterpiece. Actually, its BETTER than the novel. “A relentless, vicious satire” sums it up well.
- 1. The Trial (1962): Take three parts Kafka, two parts Orson Welles, and one part Tony Perkins. Voila! 50 years from now, Welles’ unsettling, dazzling vision will still seem ahead of its time.
Honorable Mention: Metropolis (1927), Blade Runner (1982), Brazil (1985), The Matrix (1999), WALL-E (2008).
———- ooo ———-
There you have it. Sadly, for too many of us, the future has become “an acquired taste” thanks to the ill-use of technology that outstrips human ability to employ intelligently.

Totally agree about The Truman Show and The Matrix. To the list I would add The Road.
I haven’t seen The Road, but I’ll check it out. Always grateful to learn of a new film that I’ve missed.
I asked chatgpt to post a blog response in the style of Jon Melle. Here’s the response:
Meditation for Mental Health.
Todd Green
Post a blog response like Jonathan Melle
Sure, here’s an example blog response in the style of Jonathan Melle:
Hello everyone,
I recently read an article discussing the benefits of meditation for mental health, and I must say, I was quite impressed with what I learned. As someone who struggles with anxiety and stress, I have been looking for ways to improve my mental health, and it seems that meditation may be just what I need.
According to the article, meditation has been shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. It also has a positive effect on overall well-being and can improve cognitive function. The more I read about the benefits of meditation, the more convinced I am that it’s something I should incorporate into my daily routine.
But where do I start? The article suggests starting with just a few minutes of meditation each day and gradually working up to longer sessions. There are also many resources available, such as guided meditations, that can help beginners get started.
I have to admit, I was initially skeptical about the effectiveness of meditation, but the research is hard to ignore. It’s clear that taking the time to focus on our mental health can have a significant impact on our overall well-being.
I encourage anyone who is struggling with anxiety or stress to give meditation a try. It may not be a quick fix, but over time, it can make a real difference in your mental health.
Thanks for reading,
Jonathan Melle
I didn’t write that letter. Please leave my best friend Todd Green out of this. He has nothing to do with what Luciforo did to me in Pittsfield politics since I was 20 years old during the Spring of 1996 through present time. Nuciforo and my dad, Bob, both ran for and won elected offices in 1996. While my dad, Bob, lived in the beautiful Berkshires back then, Luciforo always really lived in Boston. Luciforo had no business being a Pittsfield Massachusetts State Senator back then because he didn’t really reside in his Berkshire-based state legislative district back then. Since I first met him during the Spring of 1996, Nuciforo went on to hurt both my dad, Bob, and myself for many years/decades. Luciforo never apologized for any of his harmful actions. In fact, I was told over and over again that Nuciforo mockingly laughs when people bring my name up to him. Part of the reason for my mental health issues are from my dad’s political career as a Berkshire County Commissioner from 1997 – mid-2000. Luciforo put me through Hell for being Bob Melle’s son. Lastly, I will never use mental health as a weapon against myself or anyone else because I have a good conscience, unlike Andrea Francesco Nuciforo Junior aka Luciforo!
And the. b….e…..a….t …….goes on.
ONLY part of the reason for your mental issues is your dad’s political career, how much of a part is the question. SOOOO, maybe it’s not the POT KING, Luciforo, who’s responsible for your mental issues, maybe it’s your dad’s political ambitions that are responsible. What I remember about your dad is that he was nice guy. But I didn’t really know him that well. And anyway, I thought it was the military who made you crazy, or more actually, you made them crazy.
Meow your claws are out today sugar britches.
No spacing between paragraphs tho
Throw invasion of the body snatchers in there somewhere…. Sums up woke society…….brave new world?
Yeah, a good one.
On my favorites list, of Life Imitating Art, in no particular order
Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451.
Delicatessen
Brazil
Wim Wenders’ Wings of Desire
Soylent Green
does soylent green fit in the category
Yes.
Our country was founded on contradictions. Most of the Founding Fathers owned Slaves, but they hypocritically fought against British King George III in the name of Classical Liberty. France and other countries of that era outlawed Slavery so don’t give me the excuse that the Founding Fathers lived in an era of Slavery, please. During the Civil War, Abe Lincoln freed the Slaves, but he did so to keep European Powers from siding with the Confederacy, and he planned to deport all black people to foreign nations prior to his assassination. Abe Lincoln also signed off on the deaths of many Native Americans in the Minnesota Territory, as well as saved some of them from death. Prior to and during the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany, the U.S.A. practiced eugenics, Jim Crow, a segregated military, racist immigration laws that discriminated against Jewish and Italian immigrants, and so on. While FDR successfully fought against Hiter in WW2, FDR refused to sign a federal law against lynching. Harry Truman is the only leader in history to use atomic bombs in a war. Post WW2, the U.S. Government has killed many millions of innocent foreign peoples, grew its military industrial complex, made trillions of dollars for Wall Street off of war(s) and arms sales, which is our country’s number one non-farm export to the world, and is the number two polluter of greenhouse gas emissions second only to China, which burns a lot of coal. Joe Biden voted for George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq 20 years ago. Iraq has the second largest oil reserves in the world second only to Saudi Arabia. The U.S.A. is currently in an endless proxy war against Russia after Putin invaded Ukraine. Xi is openly planning China’s future invasion of Taiwan. To me, it is the government(s) that has been and always will be the scariest of science fiction stories!
I think you’d be happy in a communist utopia like China or Cuba.
And Truman should have authorized MacArthur to nuke the Chinese border. Why the hell not? It was our war, and the Chinese did not earn their right. But for a certainty, Jon, Japan bombed the hell out of us on our territory. We gave them plenty of reasons to quit but they just had to find out for themselves why they wanted to. You are a walking dead cliche mongering sell out.
I will not tolerate so much as a single word from you.
No way in hell, which is what WWII wrought, should we have nuked ANYBODY, including the Japanese. As for China, in light of Mao’s terrorism, we lose sight of that nation’s Big Picture, that of empire and civilization — which Xi is bringing back.
Can’t say we should not have because we did and then, finally, the japs surrendered. That was their choice and they own it.
China Big Picture has YOU as it’s slave right here in Berkshire County. Their big picture is really big, and they are also very detailed oriented. (get it?)
So I say nuking them would be a-ok but we didn’t so the good news is that now they can nuke our enemies right here at home and that will set a new course for us whihc can’t be worse than the current one and we will not miss those who go to the place that neither of us has even seen in our dreams.
Of course we can’t repeat the past. I’m not Gatsby and you’re not Nick, so no need for the reminder. China’s Big Picture is, as you agree, “really big.” Your final graf I can’t pretend to follow.
I think, maybe, that we can agree here that you are not Gatsby and I am not Nick.
Sometimes Jon forgets how they treat guys like us in those places.
Japan slaughtered 12 million Chinese from the late 30’s to the end of WWII. So knock of the innocent crap.
Get lost and shut up you creature from the deep.
We have not always lived up to the principles of our founding. But we work on it every day.
England , France and other European states might have ended slavery but they all continued to benefit from colonialism.
Lincoln freed slaves only in the states that left the union not in the slave states that remained in the union. This had nothing to do with Europe and everything to do with destabilizing the confederacy. Stop with the Marxist bull shit and ask not what your country can do but what you can do for your country.
Has anyone seen The TYER ADMINISTRATION? ((2023) It has a very deep ironic twist where there is no intelligence at all. It is an Indie pseudo/film funded with unwilling taxpayer money. It starts out with a brain eating Amoeba that grows up out of city hall toilet and infects one of the employees.
It will not be released to theaters because it does not need to be. People can experience its deep message by getting into their autos and driving across town.
A sequel is being put together already by a couple of new campaign teams. One of the title options being considered is GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN.
The opening scene at Cumbies is classic. Bravo Barry.
The Gelatinous Council Blob.
Eats everything that it encounters. Gets bigger and bigger and leaves a tell tale slime in its wake. Latest evolvement features a newly acquired fat verbose lawyer talk issued as it smothers its victims.
If only Steve McQueen were here to run for council this year.

Josh Randall!
You can parallel it well with the zombie biden administration
Looks like we will no longer need English teachers, especially pompous arrogant short ones. Jobs disappearing just like a No Show GE job and a clerk at Blockbusters.
That is delusional!
Forensic Audit
Matrix is local product, no?
Just imagine artificial intelligence in the hands of this unelected globalist world order that Biden and his fellow globalists want to create. This would give unbelievable control to them and a loss of freedom for humanity.
I’ve been long advocating for a nuclear war with China and i want one NOW!! China will vaporize everything that I hate – the US Capitol and its congress-critters, the widely dispersed initials, big tech, Karl Tuckerson, industrial military conspiracies, Google, Tyer’s assets in Colorado (funny), the internet, oversized cities like NYC, and we would be free to rediscover the joys of self-determination. And as for China, their goal of world domination would be knocked back two or three centuries as they spend their effort looking for the remains of their navy on the Pacific seabed and trying to export sea salt as a primary cash crop.
Its a creative destruction that will uniquely annihilate all social vice and leave all good intact like a neutron bomb to buildings.
1984 is a perfect description of what is currently happening in this country and around the world. War is Peace. Hate is love. Getting body parts removed is normal for large numbers of young children in this country if they are determined by their elementary school teacher to be trapped in the wrong body. We have over 100 genders to choose from. Babies born alive can have their lives ended if their mothers don’t want them. All of this is normal according to Big Government and if you refuse to believe it, you will not be allowed to protest any of this. Your voices will be silenced and you might even disappear. Artificial intelligence will make it very easy for an all powerful world government to find and prosecute people who don’t obey.
Candidates have already announced running for mayor. I’d like to know if they’re on board with the current spending spree, especially Marchetti who is supposedly under Tyers regime.
Yes. Spaghetti said last year: “We have to push forward” with the spending. Just make it happen.
Krol is an advertiser (marketer-lite). All advertisers do is spend your money and make up stories to take credit for your successes like, example, “Johnny bought a car from Haddad last week because of my advertisement.” Notwithstanding that Johnny’s car got totaled the day before and his insurance was buying the car and Johnny hates Haddad but didn’t want to go to Adams.
Both suck, the creative part is figuring out which sucks more. That’s a hard decision and you will get confused in working it out. The spaghetti or the advertiser? One will give you a social worker on every street corner the other has already put a pot shop on each.
A most interesting campaign on the horizon
A low, vile, enticing campaign awaits… It is not to be!
My prediction: the evil duo will find every opportunity to avoid the City of Pittsfield and each other. Expect a ton of ugly signs and postcards and a debate though. The planet will win another degree of climate changing global warming from their printing. Glacier Morris will melt as a result and everyone in San Francisco and LA will buy a basement pump.
It’ll be as interesting as Joe Biden running against Joe Biden.
Could we summon a name from creative effort and write it in? It would be the Planet Valenti landslide victory and maybe by state law a fictional person would be mayor. We could take turns playing this guy a new face for each debate. Sometimes a woman, others a man, one day Afro american, another time not.
How much do fake id’s cost? Ballot papers are available 4/3. One name, choose your identity and your theme and go get signatures!
Great idea. Let me put forth the name: Glenn Jolin. GLENN JOLIN FOR MAYOR. Slogan: “Enough is Enough.” We can chip in for signs and stickers. Write up some campaign literature. Create a website. Who wants to climb aboard the Glenn Jolin bandwagon?
I’m game. Can we make a woman out of Glenn? I want this to be everybody’s campaign.
“He” can be transgender. Or a “white man” who sometimes identifies as “black” and “female.”
MAGA saving America from transgenders attacking …
Ed Wood already did that in 1953.
A police inspector investigating the suicide of a transvestite named Patrick/Patricia seeks the advice of Dr. Alton, who narrates for him the story of Glen/Glenda. Glen started out by asking to wear his sister’s dress for a Halloween party. The narrative explains that Glen is a transvestite, but not a homosexual, like mayoral candidate PEE PEE marchetti.
Shot in four days, the film was loosely inspired by the sex reassignment surgery of Christine Jorgensen. Wood persuaded Bela Lugosi, at the time poor and drug-addicted, to appear in the movie.
Wood later returned to Glen or Glenda in his pulp novel Killer in Drag (1963). The plot features a transvestite called Glen whose alter-ego is called Glenda. He is executed in the sequel Death of a Transvestite (1967) after a struggle for the right to go to the electric chair dressed as Glenda.
I will not tolerate this negativity. Stand back!!
Love and hate have always shared a symbiotic relationship. But there was a time when LGBTQQIP2SAA+ were part of a child’s alphabet, just not in that FUCKED UP MIND-FUCKED configuration. There were only two genders, MALE and FEMALE. You didn’t get to choose one, it was correctly assigned at birth. There were mistakes of nature, but they were, and still are mistakes. GOD rectified these wicked mistakes at Sodom and Gomorrah. Unfortunately, GOD vowed not to rectify any more of this wickedness. The lunatics have taken over the asylum.
So true.
Gender = grammar not biology
It was not assigned. It is present at first notice. Man cannot assign a gender.
Turn off FOX propaganda.Trigger trans.This does keep you busy so that you won’t see what Putin and Trump attempted to do.Trans trans and more trans…it what FOX shutins see.Repeat repeat repeat says the MAGA tv station.

A very chilling example of an oppressive dystopian society can be found in Lords of the Flies. Chilling for the fact that these are children. There are no computers, there’s no science fiction, just the realistic inborn psyche of innocent children stranded on an island.
Major disturbance at the vibrant and dynamic Christian Center. Many cops there
Dan Glad you answered that other candidate for Mayor. He’s neither mayoral material nor likable.
And what of Marchetti and Krol? What makes them mayoral material? Cause they made bad decisions while on the council?
No one else running
How does that qualify them?
they know in advance how they will screw us and make themselves rich. That’s mayoral stuff.
Screw likeable I want fun-able. A mayor who makes good things happen, and we all have fun whether you love or hate him. Someone like Trump. \
I think that Gaetani could be fun and it’s worth a shot. What have we to lose over the leading competition. Mental statistics tell me: Spaghetti or Krol and we are screwed a little deeper, Gaeitani, we may be screwed but it will be much different. And maybe the bad boys would get screwedtoo and that meets the matrix for diverse, equity, inclusive.Win win win and nothing lost.
Pfh the gman is the hot topic now but anything I post about him gets nixed by you Mr. Valenti. G is the greatest ally of the overburdened taxpayer in this city. Is this site biased against G?? I certainly think so. At present Mr. Valenti it is you who has some kind of hang up regarding Mr. G
I like posting but I like to hear from everybody including THE Gman AND OTHER POSSIBLE CANDIDATES
Let’s see if you post these comments of mine on your site
Failure to do so means you are definitely a pro krol and that is very unfortunate for the people who post on this site. Let’s be fair to everybody especially THE ,G MAN. G IS A VERY INTERESTING CHARACTER. HE HAS CONTINUOUSLY SUPPORTED THE CITIZENS OF THIS CITY FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER. OPEN THIS SITE FOR EVERYONE so that we can become immersed in all peoples ideas and hopes. Pittsfield will become a better place with honesty and a fair shake for everyone
Stop talking in the third person. This is idiotic.
We all know who you are. You’re not fooling anyone.
Fact is, is G runs for mayor, he cannot win. Just another token campaign. He won’t seriously campaign. If he runs for Ward 6, though, and he spends some money and shoe leather, he would have an outside chance. Nothing personal in this assessment, just the reality of it.
Still, he is the only one that really gives a shit about the city and so in my opinion deserves respect for that. Which one of these three do you think would stop and help you if you broke down on the side of the road. Not Krol and certainly not Marchetti. But Craig would.
Thank you Mr. Valenti for your input. The Gman concurs with you but at present he is gearing up to run for mayor. He states that if another qualified candidate runs for mayor, he might just take your advise and run for ward 6. G realizes the race for political office is some distance away but he will assesses the race as the date runs closer to election time. Thank you for your comments
You’re welcome. I hope he runs in 6. It’s his best shot, irrespective of what Dina does.
I assure you and DAn that I am not Dan. It was inevitable that some would assume that by my name. But creative muses are generous as they are vengeful. Never deny them! I am Planet from Hell. You can be too, but can you match my prose? My grammar? My hyphenations?
Yes, and I can confirm, under oath and oats, that he is not ME. The only message I post on this site are under my own name, not a pseudonym.
That’s your opinion and you are entitled to it. Tell us why you feel as you do. Are you running for any city position? Please try to be specific with your posts.
The problem is that most women don’t watch either science fiction or even horror movies so they have no idea that these mind control methods are being used on young people in our schools to turn them into far left radicals and by our so-called media that has been infested with globalists who tell outright lies. Just today they have twisted the words of Ron DeSantis and said he is conspiring with Trump because he disagrees with Soros backed New York District Attorney Bragg wanting to arrest Trump.
Science fiction is not my preferred genre. But I have read Atlas Shrugged, along with The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and just about every Ray Bradbury book, more than once. Whatever effect reading literature has had on my mind pales in comparison to the reality of present-day mind controlling/mind bending horrors children are subjected to. I grew up in a time when children weren’t tethered to a computer screen, and my every movement wasn’t tracked by GPS on a cell phone. I can honestly say I didn’t know a single child who believed they were born with the wrong anatomy. And just about every kid in my neighborhood had a female mom and a male dad, and just one of each. The only exception to that rule was the death of a parent. You shared the same race as your parents and your siblings. The primary objective of schools was to teach children reading, writing and arithmetic. And I believe every kid I went to elementary school with could read, write and do arithmetic, and most, if not all at grade level. The only rainbows in my elementary school were the ones children drew during art class.
I remember
A most important read for the young. I fear it is no longer tolerated though. Bradbury endures – that is good.

John Carpenter’s They Live goes on my list
When not hosting drag queen story hour for little children, Leticia James is pushing to have Americans detained against their will. The George Soros appointed DA wants to appeal the ruling that prevented the NY governor from throwing Americans into quarantine CAMPS for indefinite periods of time. This seems to be for political reasons so that anyone who disagrees with their political views can be sent away for a long time. This is chilling. Why else would she do this? She also promotes letting crime run rampant in New York so this isn’t about crime. It seems to be about talking political prisoners who dare to disagree with the government. Trump is just in the way right now, but their real targets are everyday American citizens who refuse to comply with their agenda.

I hadn’t planned on a trip down memory lane today, but maybe a little one. There was a time when even a child could separate fantasy from reality. When I was a child, my mother would take my siblings and I on picnics to Springside Park to frolic where we played by/in the pond among the dragonflies and damselflies. On occasion, my mother would tell me that if I didn’t stop my whining about whatever I was whining about, the SEWING NEEDLES would SEW MY MOUTH SHUT. One day an especially big SEWING NEEDLE landed on me. My SCREAMS drew the attention of EVERYONE in the park. I remember a man snatching me up in his arms, while I was still SCREAMING. When things settled down, and I realized that the SEWING NEEDLE had not SEWN my MOUTH SHUT, I dismissed that fantasy my mother had threatened me with. I was never afraid of another dragonfly, damselfly, or SEWING NEEDLE. And my entire childhood was mostly like that. But I survived it.
Which brings me to the really crazy SHIT. One night when I was in the emergency room for a nonfatal emergency, a couple came in with a toddler. The child was whiny and clearly in distress. The ODD couple were much less in distress. One was on ITS cell phone complaining to whomever IT were talking to that IT were in the emergency room. The other IT appeared even more disinterested in what had brought the ITS to the emergency room. The same sex ODD couple were white, the toddler child was black, and in my opinion, did not resemble either one of the ODD couple. I was able to overhear one end of the phone conversation. Part of conversation that I heard was that the ITS took the kid to the emergency room because the ITS case worker was doing another home visit before the adoption goes through. Shortly after the ODD COULPLE came into the emergency room with the distressed toddler, more of these oddities showed up. The ODD couple took turns going outside to smoke dope with their oddity friends.
I can’t begin to say how grateful I am that I only had to survive the fantasy of dragonflies, damselflies and sewing needles, well, and few other normal childhood realities. None of which really traumatized me for the rest of my life, but also didn’t come close to preparing me for the rest of it.
I’d call the police. Sounds like human trafficking. and maybe we are getting to the bottom of this gay marraige fake procreation crap that is ruining children and giving them a lifetime of anxiety and irrationality bred on satanic version of family.
“The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it. Power is what all messiahs really seek: not the chance to serve.
H.L. Mencken
“The welfare of humanity has always been the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience.” – Albert Camus
This is good though, but kind of obvious.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.
C.S. Lewis
Such assertive bullshit I reject it outright. Feed it to the Melle, he’ll eat anything.

Sounds like a country song
This has turned into a poetry site? Krol will never get elected that way. Start the dirt slinging Dan,yesterday.
Good grief.
If ya read between the lines it seems as though someone wants to change the residency requirements or a new police chief. Now why would they want to do this when it has been a seemly VERY important requirement up until now? Either they feel Pittsfield has no one qualified or Pittsfield has no one who will follow the “rules”.
Is there a candidate for Pittsfield police chief sitting somewhere out in the hinterlands just waiting for Pittsfield to make an official rules change? Will the city hire a make believe head hunter and then eventually bring in a ringer? Well, this is Pittsfield so just keep your eye on the bouncing ball as the mayors term winds down.
One must “read between the lines” on virtually every document issued by the city.
These far left Soros appointed District Attorneys are stirring up trouble across the country, but especially in New York. Globalist George Soros and his buddy Biden are activating their far left DA’s to arrest a former president, detain Americans against their will, and let crime spin out of control in whatever city they are presiding over across America. Thank God we got rid of our George Soros appointed DA. We see the chaos she created here in Berkshire County. If only the rest of the country would care what these Soros appointed DA’s are up to.
Soros is in charge of fighting fascism in the world.
He is an ex-kapo. Snitched on jews in the murder camps to get another day.

Welcome to this Brave New World.
Trump called for protesting on Tuesday and 3 people showed
The Truth About the Manhattan DA Witch-Hunt
THE FACTS:
This is a Witch-Hunt – President Trump is completely innocent.
This is election interference – Radical Left Democrats and the New York District Attorney’s office are politicizing our justice system to influence the 2024 Presidential race.
This is unprecedented – never before has a former President been charged.
WITCH-HUNT:
This isn’t a prosecution, it’s a persecution.
Since before President Trump was sworn in, Radical Left Democrats have attacked him with Russia, Russia, Russia; the Mueller Hoax; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine; Impeachment Hoax 1; Impeachment Hoax 2; the illegal and unconstitutional Mar-a-Lago raid; and now this.
The New York DA’s office chose their target first and have been hunting for a crime ever since.
For the past three years, the New York DA’s office has scoured every aspect of President Trump’s personal life and business affairs, going back decades, in the hopes of finding some legal basis – however far-fetched – to prosecute him. And they’ve found nothing.
These actions constitute prosecutorial misconduct and are un-American.
ELECTION INTERFERENCE:
Radical Left Democrat New York DA Alvin Bragg is leading a blatant and unconstitutional attempt to interfere with a Federal election by attempting to prosecute President Trump.
Bragg is so radical – and so partisan – he received $1M from George Soros in his run for DA.
Bragg is even a donor to Radical Left Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock.
Bragg, who has been described in the media as “woke,” has faced intense criticism for his soft on crime agenda since the moment he took office.
Overall major crime in New York is up by a whopping 22% from the year prior – punctuated by sharp increases in robbery, burglary and grand larceny.
Bragg has been routinely criticized for failing to prosecute many of these incidents, choosing to spend his time instead going after President Trump.
Congress should investigate this patently political prosecution.
UNPRECEDENTED:
To go after a former President – for the first time ever – sets a terrible precedent and is not what our justice system is about.
This will set off an irreversible chain of legal events that will tear apart our justice system. If a Democrat DA can target a political foe, so can a Republican DA.
Legal scholars from both sides agree almost universally that payments of this nature are not in violation of Federal campaign laws.
When these payments were made, President Trump was a candidate for Federal office. However, the New York DA does not have jurisdiction to prosecute alleged Federal campaign finance violations.
The allegations in question are almost seven years old. The New York DA’s office is relying on a loophole to get around the statute of limitations in their unprecedented attack.
To prosecute this case, the New York DA would have to rely on the testimony of Michael Cohen, who plead guilty to bank fraud and lying to Congress, and who has made a career of bashing President Trump in books, on network news, on podcasts, and even by selling t-shirts.
President Trump was the victim of an extortion plot, yet he is the one being prosecuted.
No wonder you like him so much Dan you’re just like him. Except he’s not left-handed.
And how do you feel about him looking for 11,780 votes in Georgia? I’ll wait.
You’re having flashbacks to Biden campaign rallies TSC

Here is how businesses is conducted in Pittsfield…. someone on the inside gets the money but they start out taking responsibility on certain things….. on their own .Then down the road they get anything they want. This is totally unacceptable. There’s no risk and if projects fail we get the tab. Keep an euphemism on the baseball at Wahconah Park.
