After thoughts on my goddam politcal theory...



...Muhammad Ali's famous rope-a-dope boxing method.  Graceful, archetypal, eloquent, a poet/warrior such as  Dennis Hopper spoke of  in the  movie Apocalypse Now, the athlete had a talent for drawing an opponent close by faking retreat.  All boxing fans know you then apply the invisible left hook, and your moral equivalent of Sonny Liston goes unconscious for ten seconds, minimum, as is needed to cement your pugilistic victory.  Mulling over Trump's move to make Jerusalem capital of the hotly contested Holy Land,  folks are opining a spectrum of possible results, ranging from pleasantly divine to dreadfully apocalyptic.  

And which bar on the spectrum is this blogger sitting on, with murky espresso and a crumb cake?   I shall re-iterate my political theory from yesterday.   The real reason for the transition from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is to draw out terrorists and capture/whack their sorry butts. It's a strategy to deter terrorism in the future by inflicting loss, much as possible, on enemies common to the US, Israel, and where ever else people are J.O.ed with the establishment.  It could be a Katie-bar-the-doors military/policing  strategy.  

Maybe not.  Maybe I'm a little insecure.  Remember the book Portnoy's Complaint?  Off topic.  Sorry.  Forgive me for comparing the transitional act in Israel to Ali's rope-a-dope technique.   I didn't  think this shit up because I like Donald.  No one in their right mind is happy or comfortable with what is happening.  This doesn't  mean that critical analysis should go take a flying fuck.  

The opening salvo of brain waves from yesterday re:  my hot new theory is in the post down below, why not read it too.  If it's not too much trouble.   I'm fussing over Trump's decision to name Jerusalem capital of Israel.  Maybe you should be fussing, in your own  unique special way, under your own personal aegis, your own shopping list of agendas, over what may or not be a fucking big deal.  I'm not getting too jizzed  about it, but it's impactful right frigging now.  Thanks again for reading.   You sweet things.
