My cell mate wants to say happy new year. So ... from the lips of Antonio Savaadra Gil, alleged but innocent of being, a world renowned bank robber and criminal mastermind: "Whatever 2021 brings it will have to be better than the horse shit of 2020."

If Cyndi Lauper's performance is an omen for what we can expect in this new year, then I fear 2021 may make 2020 look like the Renaissance in comparison.
I've been three months in a Spanish prison. If I could choose a place to be, prison would not top my list. If lawmakers were required to spend a single day in prison before being allowed to make laws, penalties for nonviolent crimes would be drastically less severe.
Plenty of crazies in prison. My two favorites are a man who argues with inanimate objects and another who converses with imaginary friends. The two meet sometimes and have a seemingly friendly conversation. David Lynch could make a blockbuster movie from their dialogue.
I'm not a Trump fan. But Twitter's ban is obscene. Twitter is private but their purpose is public expression. Courts in America address free speech not private committees. I'm offering Trump to talk to my 1 million followers through me until @jack bans me too. @RNCResearch
Any VERIFIABLE direct representative of Trump who would like to take advantage of this offer contact: mrsjanicemcafee@gmail.com
Social media is changing the very definition of "The Press". Through it everyone becomes "The Press", yet the constitutional protections provided to the press have been usurped by private companies through social media. Be warned.
Warnings and preparations for violence are invitations for violence. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Violence. Between countries, religions, ideologies, race and culture - between gangs, ethnic groups, police and civilians. It is a constant in our lives. And it is increasing.
A culture where business leaders are forced into hiding, credentials are threatened, political leaders are expelled or censured, people fired for their beliefs, witch-hunts for dissenters ... This was life under Stalin's soviet politburo. This is happening Now In America.
In a country where political leaders deceive, line their pockets, smear their opponents, give contracts to supporters, create propaganda ... the censuring of someone on social media for suggesting election fraud exists will go down as one of the greatest absurdities in history.
I am in prison. It does not matter where I am or what happens to me it will not change the madness of the world - war, conflict, jealousy, emptiness, dissatisfaction. I am a transient, tiny spark in an infinite universe, as are all of you.
We are striving to create a better world, a better environment, a better life for ourselves, yet we are everyone filled with fear, greed, anger, dissatisfaction and all the rest. We cannot create love from fear, compassion from greed, etc. What we are is what we create.
Technology allows nearly universal communication. You may have many "friends", many "followers". But are you less lonely, less isolated, more fulfilled? We have replaced human contact with an image of human contact - a mere thought. Can you look and deny this?
Do you know yourself? Not your profession, skills, likes, dislikes, appearance. These are not you. I mean the Thinker. The one who acts, feels, observes and experiences within you. If you do not know this Thinker, then your thoughts are the thoughts of a stranger.
Millennials blame older generations for the madness of the world they inherited. The world's insanity evolved through thousands of years of tribal, ideological and national self-interest. And the concept: "We are right. You are wrong". I am certain you believe you are right.
My past - my experiences, decisions, actions, circumstances in and outside of my control - have led me to this prison. Just as your past has led you to where you are. But the past exists only in memory, and my future is unknown and unknowable. So here I am. And there you are.
I'm near 76 - oldest man in this prison. My trial may not happen for 2 years. If extradited, then years of delays, appeals, before the courts decide my guilt. I haven't filed for 8 years, but I owe no taxes. I may be in my mid 80's. Will make the Guinness Book of Records.
Humans destroy everything they touch - forests, air, oceans. Desire created this. You believe your desire to end it is different from the desire to exploit it. Yet all desire stems from self-interests no matter how "selfless" it appears. Desire is the beginning of conflict.
CV has killed 447,459 in the US. Most were my age, 1 foot already in the grave. Less than 300 children under 17 were killed. Starvation killed 3.1 million children worldwide. Meanwhile the powerful increase their wealth by trillions. The rest suffered. ??? https://t.co/gqFPYRsHZC
266 children under 18 died from CV in the US since it began. 12,000 died from accidents. 95% of all CV deaths were people over 50. We closed schools and disrupted the most vital element of our children's lives - education. To protect them? Really? https://t.co/airPotf1mN
