Note from the Editor:
I suppose it’s only fitting that I, having titled this publication after My Struggle by Adolf Hitler, that I, too, go through a long line of hellish encounters on my way to the top. Mine was a lengthy adventure laced equally with comedy, though, so I guess it’s alright. In this part of the story, as MKM got put on hold for years during my struggle to survive both the military and its aftermath, I endured a continent-crossing drive through a dead and petrified forest, with some of the worst company and pit-stops I’d ever had.
The moving truck I still had filled to the brim with all my repurposed stuff handled fine. I was in okay-ish spirits, having successfully escaped the fake and bullshit Corps. The only problem was that I hadn’t expected it to be that bad, I never thought I’d leave it so soon, and now I had nowhere to go, which meant that my options were limited to 1) dealing with my post-military heartache with no time to decompress before taking on more low-paying jobs, or 2) resorting to the tyrannical, criminally-insane relatives who had happily tortured me for decades… as a means of affordable transition-period shelter.
That was a hard pill to swallow. The petrified tree sections I walked amidst, during that dead-forest pit-stop along the way back across the wasteland just north of Mexico, were so fitting and symbolic; what had once promised such great and endless growth… was now dead, rock-hard, never to grow again. My insides and feet felt heavy like that, and breathing did not come easily; I was driving back into the heart of Hell, from one Hell to the other, back and forth, it seemed, and not at all handling it.
The cost of progress was heavy back then. I will never forget those days.

Poking Fun at Fake News:
Even the appealingly-titled Good News Network is full of fake news; stories they didn’t personally confirm, mixed in with wishful thinking, generous exaggerations, sugar-coating, and intentionally refusing to mention any of the ‘negative’ aspects of their stories that balance-out and complete them. Claiming that North Korea “commits to peace”, for example, is as outrageous a lie as claiming the war-mongering United States or Russia do. This website even published an article about how cancer rates are falling; they have been rising the entire time these modern countries existed, and are kept rising by the very industries that pretend to be studying to find ways of fighting them.
What’s the point? Even though the name indicates an initially nice-enough concept and focus, adding an adjective like “good” to a name, just like adding “professional” to a name (e.g. The Society of Professional Journalists) is a blatant red-flag. I’d be surprised if the Good News Network wasn’t just as paid-off to promote certain stories and ways of thinking… as CNN, the New York Times, and the BBC are.
