One of the great dystopian visions of the future was the film SOYLENT GREEN; in it an over populated world has run out of fresh food. There is not enough fresh water to grow vegetables nor fruits, nor feed livestock. The majority of the world’s teeming masses survived on processed food, SOYLENT GREEN. Global citizens are urged to commit suicide at  ubiquitous  suicide centers. Those dead bodies, that human carrion, is the ingredient of SOYLENT GREEN. The first step in the entropic  road  to the SOYLENT GREEN vision is Globalization; for  Globalization breaks down traditional national protections against dystopian  America is in the process of being Globalized; one of the by products of Globalization is misplaced priorities. A Globalized society places a higher premium on entertainment than it does on safe food and clean water. America's Millennial Generation is America's first Globalization Generation, and it is a sad generation, more pre-occupied with  enterta

Periodically this Blogger is guilty of slipping into a Graham Greene Lite mode, and discussing the Psychology of God. The last time this Blogger did that was his 2015 Christmas Message:   A Christmas Message about Absurdity Saving Mankind from Derangement......... http://themaxeychronicles.blogspot.com/2015/12/a-christmas-message-about-absurdity.html . In that devout Christmas message, this Blogger proclaimed that God was deranged, and that " THE BIBLE is the Psychology of God as told to Mankind by God.” Surprisingly the Message brought a number of remarkably kind and inquisitive emails from divinity students concerning its contents and conclusions. They all desired further Graham Greene Lite insight into the Psychology of God. This Blogger hesitated, because: How much more Graham Greene Lite can one get after one writes that God is deranged? Then this Blogger watched a PBS television program about the assassination of James Garfield, America’s 20 th Pres

This Blogger was taken with President Obama, in his 2016 STATE OF THE UNION address, proclaiming a MOONSHOT against Cancer, an attempt to eradicate the dreaded disease, with Vice President Biden as his ramrod in this effort. The American Council on Science and Health was not overly impressed “ Early on in his final State of the Union address, President  Obama advocated for a “moonshot” campaign to “cure cancer once and for all.” And now while this is an admirable and lofty goal, the plain, unadulterated truth is that completely eradicating this disease is simply unachievable. “Last year, Vice President Biden said that with a new moonshot, America can cure cancer. Last month, he worked with this Congress to give scientists at the National Institutes of Health the strongest resources that they’ve had in over a decade,” the president said. “So tonight, I’m announcing a new national effort to get it done. And because he’s gone to the mat for all of us on so many issues over the p

The VENICE FIRST LOVE episode of VENICE BEACH SKETCHES. VENICE FIRST LOVE , a variant on Turgenev’s short story, is about  a shy college student, who  stalks the dazzling coed of his dreams, only to discover, to his dismay, that he is not that great a stalker after all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsxeY4Xsx4M&feature=youtu.be VENICE BEACH SKETCHES explores the decline of the American male as a heroic figure as a result of the gender wars in contemporary California. Each episode is a variant of a short story or play from Turgenev, Coward and Sartre .

20 th Century Beat Generation Poet Allen Ginsberg once conjured up a dangerously Orwellian aphorism, sublimely applicable to the 21 st Century up to this date: " Whoever controls the media, the images, controls the culture ." TIME Magazine named German Chancellor Angela Merkel as its 2015  PERSON OF THE YEAR for her humanitarian response to the refugee crisis; she single handedly allowed over ONE MILLION, none vetted, refugees into Germany. However, Chancellor Merkel’s response, which will change German culture forever, was a response…..to an image, nothing more, nothing less. The image was the corpse of a three year old Syrian refugee, Aylan Kurti, washed up on a Turkish beach(see below), drowned trying to get to Europe. Therefore this Blogger has named Aylan Kurti, the drowned boy whose heart wrenching end birthed that momentous image, THE MAXEY CHRONICLES’2015 PERSON OF THE YEAR. Aylan Kurti’s death, and the image of his death, has changed, perhaps irrevoca
