TO DREAM OF FREEDOM
“We are but a moment’s sunrise, fading in the wind”
Youngblood
And so it came to nothing,
all that had been so wonderful to see;
the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution imprisoned under glass,
no access into Congress or the White House
unless subject to strip search under close observation by armed guards
in guided tours; no street scenes with sidewalk artists,
and no more lazy afternoons spent in the park among flower children;
no more incense, no more music by garage bands,
no more smoke, no more beautiful dreams, no more run down theatre,
no more communes, and back to nature,
no more
and no more Dead heads with long hair and vans:
no more freedom, no more Life,
no more hippie scapegoats, no more Constitution,
no more on nation under God
no
more with
I-C
And Cars come up to the red light, waiting for it to turn
and again I hope, please don’t turn too soon,
as I race to finish the page of the book that I’m reading;
But, as for the regulated light,
it may as well be the moon, whether the street is filled with cars
or its an empty street, or a holiday morning, and you could just as well put it out and
save the money.
Childhood, darling! It’s the nursery of the year,
beneath the soft glove is a steel fist
and love is used just like a club, the pea in a shell game.
Remember, being young, and hating to sing in church,
because, it sounded so terrible; and, not so sweet it hurt,
like the classical set of albums Mom purchased in the Safeway supermarket culture, like
so many groceries.
O gentle time of solitary discoveries, learning about life, and yourself, that includes honor
and shame
trembling tentatively when experienced in profile,
and yourself that includes love gentle and willing, to be woven with a rough stiff soul....
And, now I’m no longer like the mighty oak rigid and strong
and capable of being uprooted, I’m like the tender grass resilient and pliant
and capable of bending towards someone who bends
I’m asking you isn’t it a brisk Feb. morning,
the air is cold and clear, last night’s rainfall leaves everything dripping wet....
there is the undiminished desire for freedom of breath
and the self-centered confidence of childhood
a time of lyrical melodies and reaching out to embrace life,
with experiences so glaringly bright they can even partially close the prejudicial eyes!
EVEN THEN
Do you really want to know,
how it was, then?
It was getting late,
and growing dark in the rooms;
she stammered out,
with this fractured phrase,
“Have a nnice trip....and...
I love you!
Even then, she loved me:
and, I, was learning what that meant!
A PREVIEW TO GOODBYE
Then, inexorable age with hoarfrost hair crept in,
and helplessly I kept growing colder.
‘Till at last I became light with life, too,
like sunshine on mid-Winter afternoons.
I struggled with my coat
and grasped fondly the handle of my steadfast cane,
I resolutely put on my gloves,
in a ritualized personal routine, first the left and then the right.
The path to the back door has been growing longer,
but I know it’s the same – there are twelve steps!
The rattle of Winter in the deciduous trees
was poly-rhythmically advocating, “an invocation to the voyage.”
I’m betrayed by this treacherous body,
and, in the middle of a stupid age,
I reply, “I’m ready Love, to leave this Evil fate,
whose been as fickle as I’ve been steadfast.”
This is the monologue, I had this afternoon.
The house loomed large and dilapidated,
with one small feeble light shining alone from an upstairs bedroom window.
SPRING SUN
This morning is high with early Spring sun,
and on the back deck the smell of lavender is loud,
and the sky ignites a bright blue faience.
The book in my hand is a leather bound volume of poetry.
Today, I’ve become
through his stanzas, immersed in a World of wonder.
I can see the road outside the garden,
before it trellis posts stand sentinel with a yellow Winter jasmine,
and pink blossomed berganias against the emerald grass.
Because my heart loves you passionately,
the gaudy flowers felicitously rejoice.
The sky swells azure with the sounds from the thousand tongued city;
and, the sun shines in celebration, too, assisted by the breeze
it creeps in and highlights your hair.
And, far away, tiny on the distant hillside,
shines a snow white crypt.
SKYLANES
Pulses of pride pour down the red dawns.
Birds soar in the pale blue expanse like dark motes.
Skylanes dream dreams alive with dismembered children’s heads.
Be a man with sincere expressions and smiling eyes,
who gently gazes under the still wings of steady eyelashes
who like the turns are perfect for flight
and from the firm lofty heights he soars over all that he’s seen,
plowing pathless reaches of the ever changing immortal sky
and from the lofty heights above the eyelashes,
more empty promises made to us of landfall,
as one who condescendingly placates a child with “Soon”,
while deceitfully demands payment for registration, insurance and operating expenses.
TWILIGHT
Twilight, and I’m compelled to embark on a walk.
Stillness seeps in with the languid hours
covering the valley exhausted from its daily toil.
Woe for these thousands of sadness and one great sorrow!
The Winter obstinately malingers
and the Spring flowers lay nipped by a late freeze.
The forest has become clamorous as the storm tossed sea;
and, the paths are littered with the hubris remains of last years leaves.
What melancholy emptiness does this vista reveal!
Don’t you feel the thrill passing through you like a chill
with the sound of the geese calling in the distance,
in a stirring song floating from some far destination.
INVOCATION
We came rolling over the
through gray streaming air dimly lit,
foundering farm’s fields littered with despoiling stakes
valley of grass desecrated to sprawling suburbia
spoiled in a light devoid of shadows.
Nor nightfall, our fey features
lucent as porcelain, sprung from the fecund Earth,
who still holds our claim ticket.
An analogous transformation motivated
the twelve tribes towards its distant destination.
The great prize: that’s often shown
and never given; hidden, beneath its sheltering shell
simultaneously existent,
in a variety of multifarious dimensions
understood by gnosis only.
Other than the
the milky way was its only known path
existing exclusively within ourselves
now estranged from a changed sordid reality
rumored by the population of Fallen Angels.
Floating among the fenestrated space
ships and sphinxes. Gravity dissipates
into random movement drifting
through the desiccated remains of time
easier than the hungry Earth.
where there’s nothing finer than freedom
and the challenge to accomplish it.
But, organizing means constricting,
and the nearer we come the more remote we get
suspended in animation.
“Till home again we,
amidst the dying light;
and, we descend among the warm friendly furnishings
within our awkward heavy bodies
once more.
One sensed the occult season
from the fear that had gathered on street corners
with the anxiousness of night driven rains
from the variegated gray clouds
scudding dark across foreboding skies,
in the malingering Winter of the year,
I was a corpse among the unholy dead.
An exile, whose existence
was spent in a city floating in mid-air,
around me gently influencing the domain of my movements
the soft arms of my woman wattling time,
and, by barren years my mother,
whose club love bludgeoned us,
with oblique blows like a bishop advancing on a board,
she strengthened me, to meet her needs.
Outside, the day dawns dark,
in cold coils of gold, the stars, pursued
by blind geometric webs, fled down forgotten paths
and furtive life became overly fugitive,
and drew me down gray unknown alleys,
to secret gardens, which opened wide
on expansive vistas of the potential of life;
but, I was impaled by the last smile –
as she paused and reached back for a final flower.
BE CAREFUL MATE
In the still spaces of the hive,
regurgitations construct for the bee
a private exclusive environment
their city constructed by ages of intuitive architects.
Geometric constructs of wax,
subdivisions of cells filled with their golden food;
or, subdivisions of differentiated labor
the cathedral construct where the Queen lives
deep within its heart,
no sign of the dearly departed lovers
anywhere in the cella
or, the nursery where new generations are carefully watched.
The new masters are being, prepared for the time
no inclination of what desolation will be
the wonder of you and me and the best yet to be
forced inviolate against the Amazon throng.
The Queen prepares for the nuptial flight,
where when at its apex climax, the blinding light;
and, afterwards the catacombs become a lethal zone
for all the would be mates – and, afterwards we enjoy a sweet repast of their
civilization’s secretions.

And even the fundamental fate of things
is still a divine mystery locked from man
such is the dark state of primitive understanding.
Does the universe expand forever, eventually freezing
in some black oblivion; or, does it endlessly oscillate
between two states static in a dichotomous system;
or, does it expand only so far slowing down
without enough total energy and/or critical mass
to avoid an eventual collapse into another black hole oblivion?
These thoughts flow through that intangible something,
or is it a fertile nothing, that is called the mind,
existing for its fleeting moment before rolling away in waves;
varying eternally, now light and brilliant, now dark
and full of absorbing gloom, nowhere revealing its secret springs.
The source of thought and nature, of mind, matter, and energy
are still a mystery, though we’ve learned many things
how sun evaporates the sea, and how the resulting clouds form
and travel inland from the sea only to be stopped
by something so majestic and beautiful as
where cooling it drops its moisture in varying forms of precipitation
lightening and proceeding further on its way.
The tiny tributaries and springs issue forward in feeble little streams
and compelled by gravity unite in a vast river network,
where leaping over rocks and falling down precipices
it inexorably works through wind and wood back to the sea;
ceaselessly it sings its song, while the mountain slowly sinks into oblivion,
like the Earth itself and the Sun which warms it.

Up the Western approach ascending its basalt battlements
from multi-colored domains to cliffs constantly colored white,
resounding with its daily cacophony of sound over vale and crags
shear cliffs and broad backed ridges cloaked in odiferous firs and cedars,
a chessboard of sunshine and shadows: awful stage where power swoops down
from glaciers that etch its covert script on its tomb
bursting through the ice palace like lightening across a storm tossed Summer night.
Your harvested brood of tall firs
stand clinging to you in dismay
primordial progeny of pristine time
when devout winds shed their shackles
and even without their chains came freely
and have come ever since to converse
and present their life sustaining gifts
inhaling the forest fragrance in fair exchange
listening to the ancient sacred harmonies;
see the thrilling celestial and earthly ceremony
great rainbows stretch across vast valleys
and before mighty thunderous water falls
unsurpassable celestial artist’s solemn promise
ethereal works of art and the earth’s myriad sculptural forms
veiling in soft mists the brilliant spectrum of colors;
the wonderful present wakeful dream,
and, the promise of tomorrow’s strange fecund sleep,
which when the earth’s forests and fields and barren expanses
harmoniously reply in the deep mystery of their eternities,
your echoing cliffs and caverns resound
with auditory mantras creating a loud commotion
loud, solitary, and surreal to beautiful to carelessly
and heedlessly lose by those deaf to all voices
but the lonely sound of their own,
even when echoing in the mindless sycophancy
of a hate driven herd; you are pervaded
with a constant barrage of ceaseless waves of mater,
which form the way of unremitting sound
vertiginous precipice that is now!
I gaze at your scarred beauty
and ponder the sublime and strange consciousness
that created this and reverberates in my own separate comprehension
my own beautiful state of blissful dreams,
which happily perceives and produces your fast vast influences
holding a steadfast interchange
with the external universe of things
processed by my limited senses
into legions of thoughts and whole hosts of ideas,
whose wandering wings now fly high
above the human herd’s destructive limiting darkness;
and, rest and rejuvenate, where there are no unwelcome intruders,
in the high hills of heavenly dreams,
interpreted by my humble poems
seeking in the interplay of passing light and shadows
that pass by in flight reflecting images of the myriad dimensions
things that exist, some concrete and others ghost like phantom images;
‘till the mind that produced them recalls their existence
and they happily return to the heart
from which they surreyed out to explore and play!

There are those who contend that reality is the superficial surface,
a reflecting topological cover to deeper layers -
and life is a shadow play cast on a primitive cavernous wall
from those who live on a higher cosmic plain and whose life
is so radiant and bright that it illuminates us all.
I’m an infinitesimally small spec in this vast universe
who seeks the unknown omnipotence, the Godhead of it all
that lives on high and creates a veil between the animate and inanimate atom.
The difference being no better than differing dreams
that disperses into the vague infinite skies.
its silent sepulchral presence peaceful and white
supporting the incomprehensible blue space,
a profusion of molecules ice and rocks, in frozen motion;
a variance of realities, an obstruction and a destination,
a barren desert, and a climax environ, home of eagles
and fierce storms; its mankind’s playground hideously scarred,
to make a winter wonderland where man standing on his magic carpet board
lets a relatively frictionless slippery slope take him for a ride.
Is this the scene where Prometheus writhed for his compassion
and the vastness of his vision? Its stark beauty abounds
with wonder! What became of the surging mass of molten material
that once aspired toward heaven that’s ensconced in icy silence now?
The wilderness speaks in its
what it teaches depends on whose there to listen;
but, Nature is resigned to the callous indifference of her children;
and, you my beautiful asymmetrical mountain have the inherent ability
to repeal large volumes of codified fraud and acts of violence
that generate so much sadness and sorrow that’s the product
of impermeable ignorance by all but those gifted few
who are wise, good and great enough to translate and understand,
with their heads as well as their hearts.

The steep slopes, the forests, the fields
the lakes and network of streams that eventually
connect to the greatest yet lowest thing on earth – the sea;
and, all the myriad animals and plants that dwell
within its daedal domains, in an organic fantastic fractal
infolded deep beneath a bower of leaves
protected from the various forms of precipitation
the lightening that penetrates the darkness, and
venting clouds of steaming gas and beautiful misshapen hump,
whose scars and irregular features are the secret source
of so much of its beauty;
and earthquakes that bode fiery runoffs, and blown tops of diminishing eruptions,
with great billowing clouds and precipitation of its own,
and storms fierce as hurricanes; and, at night a polestar with a host of
amazingly immense stars swirling around it, as night descends in its resplendent attire,
visiting every leaf and flower sleeping dream transfixed;
the bond where they spring fully developed into other conscious states of existence
and away from the hated works of man,
the scourge of the earth marring and scaring and death,
and all the potential, most painfully obvious that its left untapped,
and all things proceeding down their circular path,
birth, life, and death, and all the diurnal and diastolic accompanying rhythms
and poly-rhythms, revolve and evolve, wax and wane.
Power dwells apart in its remote realm a negative shadowy existence,
when divorced from Reason; it compels actions that aren’t beneficial,
and being inherently coercive are destructive
to whoever is foolish enough to wield it, in direct inverse relation to those it hurts:
and, this naked fact, it can only be used to force people to behave
in ways which are unreasonable, and injurious, and unjust: it impoverishes
more than it enriches, by forcing people to behave irrationally,
which makes them unhappy, and is a poor substitute for equality, reason, and freedom,
in the pursuit of happiness. Because, what form of prosperity leaves its recipients
vice-ridden and corrupt, blighted by hate and stricken with fear?
Wealth dishonestly gained, like Midas, leaves its possessors afflicted with a living curse.
On this I gaze, even at this lone apparition floating fair
above the city of roses that teaches so much, and is a repository of so much knowledge
and wisdom.
The moraines scattered about the entrance to the valley
are record of other primeval glaciers creeping across the earth,
plowing the earth in furrows and leaving their rubble in those great intermittent piles
before retreating Northward and upward writhing like long snakes,
where the last wait the coming of the next ice age; while leaders
deny the fossil fuel generated global warming, and so we might hit a critical point
of no return to extinction, and in the interim flood this planets plains and valleys.
All this and many other stories are revealed to ones gaze,
besides basalt precipices sun baked and ice frosted in turn
frowning like proud Prometheus at the Sun in scorn at mortal power,
and our ant like life spans with cities like dirty spots blighting the surface,
our great architecture so many triangles and boxes set on end;
or, ages old pyramids and great walls; and, at the mountain’s benevolent feet
white indifferent gaze spreads over our city from its waste extreme remotes
of fire and ice. Beneath its visage our vainglorious city spreads mankind’s contagion
from the boundary of the sickly sky, humanity spreads its rising tide,
its city were civilization and progress are disdained,
and a flood of ruined remains spill over spoiled soil with asphalt and concrete.
The dead earth leaves scared clear cuts,
and the dead remains of vast fir and cedar forests
are hauled away, on a web of tarmac, branchless and stripped of bark; and,
rocks are hauled from remote rivers, to be scattered around yards never to be returned.
The habitat of animals and insects has been destroyed,
their foods and shelter gone forever, and with it so much of the joy of life
is lost forever. And, for the human race
below, the silver ribbons of rivers and gray writhing roads
with little buildings that look up here as if in miniature
and don’t reveal the secret chasms and hollow buildings,
where people dwell in tumultuous conflict injurious and murderous
and in the end significant of what?
The swelling current surges through the green valley
in one immense potentially magnificent River of breath and blood
producing a lasting Happiness for all mankind,
if we’re strong enough to stand for our wonderful dreams and beautiful visions
that soar aloft with its seething waters and waves of frictive sound
cleaving the universe’s immense silence and breathing
the exhalations of the fertile air.

still and solemn sits regal and serene
home to a thousand sounds, a thousand sights,
where so much life goes on and death;
its potential power rests under reason’s wise restraint.
In the moonless skies of
and in the solitary glare of
adding to its barren white visage beautiful as it is cold.
Nor do the flakes abate glowing like coals at sunset
another day where the accumulated indifference refused to melt,
as stars begin to blink through torn clouds
where conflicting winds contend to drift their silent accumulation;
and, the mountain maintains its innocent independence,
for someone to be swept passively along by glaciers is unthinkable.
Its home is the remote silent solitudes,
where vaporous clouds of mist brood
over the solemn frozen waste: the secret power of how things are,
which governs thought and all prospects beneath
the sepulchral dome of Heaven is habitually subjected
to tyranny’s malevolent idiosyncratic constructs forming
this age’s faction’s contemporary final solution.
And, what we’ve become and what’s been done below on earth
irrationally under the cover of storm agitated passions,
which obliterate the calm vista of serene stars;
white frozen life is forced to wait in a hibernated dormant state,
and, subordinate everyone else’s steady falling sorrows and suffering
to the weary silent descending night.

Its not necessary to be either a scholar or an attorney who specializes in constitutional law in order to understand that the preservation of US freedom depends on the preservation of a free and independent government; and, they might have any lingering doubts allayed and their opinions decided, by the simple observation that all American government institutions are designed to protect private citizens from the abuse of power, by separating it into discrete increments, first between the Federal Government and State governments, and then between the three branches of the Federal Government, Executive, Congress, and Judiciary. The idea being to protect private citizens from a certain portion of society’s inherent propensity to abuse the Rights of their fellow citizens, it’s the same set of social characteristics which initially caused people to unit into large social units, and it represents mankind’s attempt to protect themselves and their Rights from the same abuse from government. The means primarily employed has resulted in money having an undue influence on the election process, its displaced government to such an extreme degree that government outcomes are controllable and are conducted for the exclusive base advantage of faction. When such an influence has been successfully attained, its result has predictably been to further the interests of arbitrary power; and, when faction could not gain such an advantage, to employ arbitrary power for their selfish ends; then, they’ve had to submit to the US Constitution, which was designed to control how government performed its functions. This has been how the US Government has prudently functioned since the US Constitution was ratified and subsequently announced on July 4th over 200 years ago.
If
we look back to the close of the last century and examine when the radical
right faction Republican Revolution was first initiated, we can observe the
means employed that compromised our US Constitution, during the reign of the
most corrupt presidential administration in the history of our country, with
Republican puppet-president, actor
Now
the biggest attempt of this kind, which puppet-president
populations killing men, women,
and children, and then drove them from their oil rich homes, which they seized
and gave to their own Sunni supporters,
that same Iraq was about to offer those same Kurd and Shiite groups
nonexistent weapons of mass destruction, which is absurd because the dissidents
would then have turned them on Iraq in stead of the USA – which maintains an
artificially elevated US military presence throughout the region, ‘till the
radical right faction can establish their dominance over that country and seize
for their own avaricious purposes the Iraq people’s oil and natural gas resources,
which are the second largest in the world, and which they seized when the US
military aggressively invaded their country (just like they did in Afghanistan,
when the radical right faction used terrorism as a pretence to get the US
military to protect their oil and natural gas pipelines); and, the radical
right faction tries the same deceitful fraudulent scam that they’ve employed in
South America and the USA, playing the conservative business interests who
control the region’s governments against the region’s terrorists who the
radical right faction has duplicitously infiltrated and presently are supposed
to control: with the radical right faction manipulated terrorists recently
seizing, again, hostages, this time 50 in Iraq, in a pattern of escalating
violence with ever increasing numbers of victims, which the radical right
faction feels is necessary to optimize its mass media-propaganda impact for
continued audience attention, with hostage stories being particularly
effective, because of the sense of drama and suspense designed to maintain
viewer interest; but, in reality plays both ends against the public that’s
caught in the middle and squeezed. In a
related development Middle East conservative economic interests seem to be
being bribed with the control of six major US port facilities, in exchange for
their not actively opposing the radical right faction’s Iraq oil and natural
gas seizures, while the radical right continue with “whatever it takes” to
steal Iraq resources at USA tax payer expense, who are subject to oppression of
their own, with the Homeland security that further erodes US citizens Civil
Rights and Liberties and continues to condition the USA to be oppressed. Thus the radical right faction Republican
Revolution continues controlling at least three countries’ governments, which
utilizes the inherent danger of standing armies to perpetuate a system of
government that opposes freedom and justice, peace and prosperity; and, if not
already realizing its demise, it certainly poses as the most fatal threat to
Liberty that this country has ever experienced in its 200 year plus
history. When the measures of the
government, dominated by the radical right faction Republican puppet-president
Bush Jr., grew too bad to be defended and supported; he had been previously
recorded as publicly stating to the Swedish Premier that he was amazed at his
election “running against peace and prosperity...” – and the corruption
continued with events like 20 Republicans including most of the major
Congressional leaders stealing $25 million, as the nation staggered right with
the World’s Largest National Debt, the World’s Largest Trade Deficits
exacerbated by the three phony wars and military bases abroad, attacking
Medicare trying to privatize the public program to benefit a couple of
insurance companies owned by the radical right faction in a move that left tens
of millions of Americans without any insurance, adventurist military programs
in the Middle East that left no money for Sr,
citizens prescription programs, supporting job flight to India who now has the
world’s largest middle class, while the USA’s standard of living plummets to
Third World status for 80% of its population, and advocating more expensive
education programs that are unfair and provide worse education for the same 80%
of US children in order to make them easier to oppress and chaining them with
ignorance and poverty at Third World levels, no public housing, no effective
energy program except GREED, under funding the EPA and the FDA with a bird flew
epidemic weeks away, ravaging the environment, and repeatedly trying to
privatize the public Social Security System which will cause stock market
crashes and depressions larger than ever experienced before. The radical right Republican Revolution represents
recycling the failed Fascist economic programs of two centuries ago, with
rising prices, lowering wages, systemic corruption, aggressive expansion,
oppression and widespread constriction of wealth. The response from the radical right faction
was to try and expand the corruption with fifth column Democrats who vote for
the radical right Republican Party (see last months issue, where efforts in
Texas were exposed, to replace a corrupt Democrat incumbent who voted
Republican, which were being derailed by corrupt radical right fifth column
elements, who were trying to stop Democratic Party reform to make a good party
better and replace corrupt members with compromised integrity with an equally
corrupt replacement candidate who had already been compromised by the radical
right to vote for select radical right Republican measures when in Congress,
and because they were better funded the same radical right fifth column members
stood in the way of other legitimate Democratic reform candidates who oppose
the Republicans) sycophants and who hope to continue controlling the country
with this corrupt constituency, and thus thwart the efforts of friends of the
US Constitution. It’s prudent to observe
in passing that the Democrat Party, unlike the radical right faction controlled
Republican Party, manifests the essential characteristic between a National
Party and faction, the former retain principles and pursues policies
complimentary to the US Constitution, in contradistinction to the second the
radical right faction dominated Republican Party. The Democrats may be manipulated into
temporary support of measures like the war in
Unfortunately,
it must be observed that the radical right faction Republican Revolution, has
succeeded for the better part of 20 years, and, the corruption that Republican puppet-president
The
design for the radical right faction Republican Revolution is a complete
failure. It’s resulted in the economic
and moral bankruptcy of our entire nation, and by turning its ruins into a
means of making a few people a lot of money, it has made attempts that only
serve to undermine the principles central to our nation’s major Religions and
Democratic principles, like the Christian Ethic of doing to others what you’d
have done unto you, Tolerance, Charity, Love, Liberty, Equality, and Private
Property made by Republican puppet-presidents Reagan, Bush, and Bush Jr.
pursuing policies that include genocide and attacking private property rights,
like when the radical right faction displaced Federal judiciary department did
when it took Microsoft to court, in an ill advised attempt to take either the
company or its products from its primary owner Mr. Gates, it was when Microsoft
was almost singly responsible for the increased productivity of the labor
inputs in the service sector that overcame inflationary pressure being
experienced by the country (see previous issues for a more expansive
explanation); and, it brought to a screeching halt the area of the economy said
to be impervious to down turns in the economy that was experiencing the
greatest amount of growth - internet, it along with cost push inflation
generated by increased oil prices stopped the so called recovery, which was
nothing but a return to the previous levels of economic performance brought on
by the second largest depression the World had ever experienced, a depression
caused by initiating the radical right faction Republican Revolution, just like
the depression that transpired when puppet-president Bush Jr. came to power and
re-introduced the same failed avaricious and incompetent policies and generated
the same disastrous results. And,
arrested attempts to save us from all the efforts that the radical right
faction have made, are currently making, or might make in the near future of
the same design; to erode citizen’s rights, and, to undermine the US
Constitution; to prevent peace and increase the radical right faction’s
industrial-military and oil interests’ profits at everyone else’s expense; to
behave in a manner devoid of honor lying to start wars so that they could steal
oil and natural gas revenues among other things of another country, and then,
to use that as an excuse to rob the vast majority of the American citizens of
their right to retire, and thus force down wages, which results in an ever
increasing number of Americans who will never be able to retire, but which also
will cause an unanticipated series of effects like the negative effect on
marginal labor inputs and a corresponding negative impact on marginal investment
capital, and a negative impact on consumer demand in the world’s largest
consumer market, to only mention three of the most salient negative effects:
the radical right faction Republican Revolution has reduced America from the
most prosperous nation on the face of the earth to one of the poorest, by being
lead by those who lie so that they may cheat(!); to rob us of our Happiness
dooming us to being oppressed, by those who would chain us with ignorance and
poverty. And, to make our once great country,
a land devoid of peace, prosperity, honor and Happiness; and, they aspire to
make this the basis of their tyranny, and, our nation’s permanent foundation,
the basis for their final solution. We
the people of the United States, so that we might never have to suffer from the
affliction and misery of such a sad fate, strive to overcome the danger such a
future represents to the vast majority of Americans, for the incremental
benefits of a very small number of radical right faction’s ruling elite – and,
on such an inherently insecure basis, for such a state will finally fall and
collapse, like any pyramid who rests on its tip, from the weight of its own
corruption. When America might be
benefiting from a more favorable stable and prosperous alternative, built on a
firm foundation of freedom which creates a progressive state that optimizes
development that forms the basis for its future growth and prosperity and
Happiness, by promoting the optimum environment necessary to accomplish two
social and political goals that enable the nation to realize the aforementioned
economic scenario; first, the majority of its citizens will be grouped in a
stable and prosperous middle class, which will generate large profits derived
from elevated levels of consumer demand and a conservative population based on
prosperity that will function as the ballast for society; and second, it will
promote the Liberty required for a tolerant environment necessary for optimum
creative expression and out put, by those members of society who are located
around two standard deviations from the societal norm, who will lead the nation
providing the essential intellectual inputs to optimize progress, which will
promote sustainable development that will generate continuing cycles of
progress, prosperity, and stability, and a corresponding elevation of
societies’ human Happiness. The society
will be blessed by patterns of growth built upon a well regulated business
cycle and it will be characterized by stability, diversity, and a healthy
degree of consumer demand lead by a large prosperous and correspondingly
conservative middle class conditioned to tolerance and
The
primary yield of Democracy that is fundamental to all of its other many and
varied benefits can be succinctly expressed, as to be free to have just
expectations realized. A sublime and
profound idea easily expressed, but inordinately difficult to realize. First, the radical right faction’s dominance
of the media- propaganda machine must be neutralized and public ownership of
the airways re-asserted and firmly established, or else the public will
continue to experience events, like having the 2000 presidential election
corruptly decided. Second, meaningful
campaign reform, so that elections can be conducted to determine the merits of
the respective candidates, and their view on the issues of the day and how they
intend to realize beneficial results meeting all the people’s needs; in direct
contrast to today, when elections are won and lost based on the size of the
candidates campaign funds, which has the unfortunate effect of making
government represent money’s interests in stead of people’s concerns. This then, makes government become
dysfunctional in terms of operating within US Constitutional guidelines. Third, a quality education must be available
for all our people, so business is provided with a highly trained work force to
optimize productivity, and society is comprised of intelligent citizens who can
creatively realize effective solutions to its meet its unpredictable varied
problems. Fourth, an adequate and
affordable public health care system needs to be provided for all of its
citizens; currently, in the industrial world, the
The
importance of compromising an independent Congress was recognized and addressed
in a two pronged attack which soon followed in the radical right faction
Republican Revolution’s wake. The purge
of the Republican Party and Congress commenced simultaneously; and, before it
was concluded liberal and moderate members were significantly reduced in
Congress, as a larger number of Congressmen were driven from office than at any
other time in the history of the nation, matching the record set in the post
Civil War Reconstruction Era, which the readers are encouraged to confirm. The power of government is what catalyzed
this extraordinary effort. Congressional
committee assignments and chairmanships were determined by a seniority system
that continues today, and it was attacked indirectly by the radical right
faction Republican lead efforts to eliminate it, and leaving a maimed system
with experienced skilled participants replaced by a system of neophytes who
would be dependent on those who got them elected, and replaced them after their
period of indentured servitude was expired, and they could be reasonably
expected to function in an independent fashion.
The seniority system continues and no term limits has been established
nationally, though repeated efforts arise at the state level, because it was
found unnecessary when the impaired nature of faction’s labor inputs was noted,
and warped ambition was sufficient using loyalty as the single criterion to
qualify for the radical right faction’s control of the mother’s milk of
American politics – money. A negative
consequence must be noted, not only were the public political participants
inferior, observe for yourself by comparing and contrasting Republican
Presidents, in the pre-radical right faction Republican Revolution Era with
Nixon and Eisenhower being fair examples and the Republican puppet-presidents
in the post-radical right faction Republican Revolution with actor Reagan and
former CIA head Bush demonstrating a singular lack of experience, training, and
ability suitable for the job of the highest elected office in the land, and the
leader of the free world(?); and, lower offices being filled by candidates
demonstrating the same diminution of ability, and who, at the same time
demonstrate, a corresponding increase in propensity for corruption for
themselves and for their radical right faction masters. The recent electoral process has been
characterized by fraud, with puppet-president Bush Jr. being falsely proclaimed
the winner, once erroneously by a cousin in charge of counting the Florida
election votes who was hired by another Bush, George Jr.’s
brother, a result which was unverifiable because evidently untrue and
repeatedly challenged in Washington DC by the Black Congressional Caucus who
couldn’t find a single Senator to sign their repeated petitions in spite of
repeated appeals, and so Democracy died in America; and, again, in the
subsequent president election, by widespread voter irregularities, this time
generated by computers that didn’t leave any confirmable paper trail of
ballots, with several examples across the nation, and in some instances in
critical districts that effected the elections outcome, all involving 1,000
votes or more, and all going to the advantage of one political party, and, the
voting machines involved were manufactured by two companies both owned by
Republicans who were objectively described as active in the Republican
Party. This can’t be either accidental
or coincidental, thus it seems to represent a clear case of fraud. This is the present state of affairs, its
sufficiently known; but, its necessary to be mentioned particularly on this
occasion, with the up coming November elections: and, this has to be the sorry
situation, unless some leader arises suddenly, who being educated about the
nefarious extremist measures made by a corrupt government and abetted by an
ancillary media all controlled by the radical right faction, supported by their
vice ridden subordinate tyrants linked to organized crime, since the
unfortunate rise of Republican puppet-president actor Ronald Reagan, who “know
what your doing and we approve” which gave the green light to prostitution,
perversion, child abuse, an eventual international monopoly on the heroin and
cocaine trade, extortion, fraud, rape and murder (see previous issues) as they
laid their rapacious hands on the wealth of the land; and, by applying
deceptive, illegal, and immoral oppressive means raised their standards of living
well beyond what could be accomplished legitimately, or approved by prudent and
reasonable means; and, which converted the nation, aided by the previously
mentioned adjunct media-propaganda machine to their own sordid use, and so, in
a pattern as old as history, established arbitrary power; and, by corruptly
utilizing an anti-drug campaign, in reactionary response to their extremely
profitable crack epidemic that employed two competitive youth gangs to
deliberately generate acts of violence in turf wars; which, the radical right
faction corruptly expanded to include pot, because even with their wholesale
measures the combined crack and heroin consumption rate fortunately was always
less than 1% of the population, and pot use entailed 75% a large enough population
to make ambitious immoral-criminal subordinate tyrants relatively rich, expand
the populist movement to be politically effective, while conditioning society
to be oppressed and habituated to hate generated sadistic norms always immoral
and often criminal, in a process as old as civilization that yoked a nation to
the prejudices of its tyrants, which is one of the perks of corrupt absolute
power. And, the needs of the subordinate
tyrants to expand their ready supply of victims and satisfy their newly
acquired perverse appetites were met, while simultaneously meeting their
radical right faction master’s objectives for oppressing society, making
society reflect the caprice of its opinions while preparing it to be exploited
and plundered; and, compromising and corrupting the active members of society,
who might otherwise be inclined to protest and object to factional corruption
in government were all domestically accomplished, with the assistance of the
displaced media; and, with the three transformations, the radical right faction
Republican Revolution was realized. But,
most important of all the nation, after 20 years of an intensive propaganda
campaign based deceitfully on contrived
heinous acts of violence, often sexual in nature, and involving children
whenever possible, the nation was conditioned to accept oppressive practices
that by depriving at one stroke many citizens of their property and all of them
of their Liberty – for if you deprive one person of their Civil Rights, then
you directly deprive the entire society by extension, and, our Democratic
legacy was lost under the dark days of oppressive tyranny. And, during this process, just as few will
be willing to believe the deceitful immoral-criminal conduct of the subordinate
tyrants, with their hypocritical exaggerated pleasant manners; and, so too,
will there tragically be only a few who will recognize the disguised
significance of these events; and, the Democrat Party will continue to engage
in defensive measures, like when they stopped the Republican puppet-president
Bush Jr. from privatizing the public Social Security System in early 2006, when
the Republican Party made its most recent failed attempt and had to defer to
popular demand, proving that even the radical right faction must ultimately
respect Democracy and defer to the will of the people; and, the public will try
to promote Democracy and protect their Civil Rights and Liberty, by sharing
information, like they’ve done with internet, whose effectiveness has been
proven by the great pains that the fifth column lackeys of the radical right
faction, who disguised themselves as Democrats, duplicitously trying to derail
the honest efforts of Democrats, in educating the public about the issues of
the day, and the dishonest Republican measures designed to further the radical
right factional interests at public expense.
But, neither the complexities and comprehensiveness, as the importance
of the objective requires, of re-establishing our Democracy; nor, does the
security of our Liberty, hence Happiness and prosperity of all our people,
depend on the empty exercise of bankrupt practices; but, it depends on the
re-establishment of a social and economic environment based on freedom, where
legitimate Democratic government can again openly and honestly function. The imperative importance consists so much in
the re-establishment of a free Democratic environment, rather than a democratic
government transformed to make money for the exclusive benefit of the ruling
elite faction by exploiting the public, and, that a free society exists even
without the benefit of an effective functioning Democratic government, is more
important than if the government becomes the temporary tool of faction. This was foreseen by our forefathers, whose
wisdom manifests itself in the doctrine of a separation of powers, regular
elections and the specific function delegated to Congress and all the other
efforts to protect our Civil Rights and
(by a member of Saudi Arabia’s royal family that had previously generously given the Bush family over $4,000,000,000 (billion), which was so convenient in distracting the public and saving the unpopular Republican Bush Jr. administration and its government by fraud that was free falling in the polls from being asked to go on a permanent vacation back in Texas - it took Bush Jr. over two months to start pursuing the Saudi Arabia royal family’s terrorist in Afghanistan after it was known that he had fled there, and after the attack in spite of FBI protests over 20 members of the Ibn Laden family were flown out of the country, some at government expense, without being interviewed, and the chief terrorist is still at large today)
and the previously mentioned
preceding crack epidemic, and scarcely noticed accompanying political
alterations like the overwhelmingly important role that money played in the
packaged candidacies of our nation’s elections; and, which lead to a Congress
controlled by the same radical right factional interests that pulled the
puppet-president’s strings in the Executive Branch and dictated the incredibly
incompetent government policies, in efforts to transform government, and the
nation still staggers under the avarice measures of the Republican
puppet-president, whose consistent performance continued to demonstrate a
remarkable incompetence in capacity to govern and understand so singular that
it became a regular feature in the routines of stand-up comedians all across
the nation. The significance of
political participants displaying such an amazing lack of capacity was lost on the
public, while the ruling elite of the radical right faction were able to rest
easy and be guaranteed safety to themselves and their interests, without any
effective interference from the Chief Executive and the elected Houses of
Congress. According to the same US
Constitution which was designed to protect a citizen from erosions of their
Civil Rights and Liberties that accompany the abuse of power characteristic of
tyranny, and we watched in wonder at the puppet-president, who unlike Claudius
didn’t pretend to be a fool, and actually thought that he played to an elite
constituency; and the opinion of the public, which was being effectively
manufactured on most other things, by virtue of the radical right faction’s
ownership and dominance of the media and entertainment industries, which enabled
them to establish the most virulent form of tyranny known to man, which
subsequently they unleashed on society, the tyranny of a manipulated majority,
which is more extreme and more generalized than any other form of political
oppression, because it lacks the potential threat of a disapproving majority
that functions to moderate the most extreme measures of either an individual or
oligopoly form of tyranny.
Efforts were made to displace religion, too. First, attempts were made to eliminate liberal and progressive ministers, by child prostitutes setting up child molestation cases, and, adulterous relations with female members were solicited, who were nothing but radical right whores placed by the radical right faction in church to tempt the liberal, progressive and moderate men of God. This was relatively easy, because they were assured easy access to the ministers by being members of the congregations. And, other influential ministers, of a like political stamp, were encouraged to leave to pursue more monetarily lucrative positions and careers, and when all else failed, for pleasure and profit, select targeted ministers were advanced to national positions, where their input could be diluted into insignificance, or they could be more easily controlled. And finally, several ministers and people of God, were struck with strange malaises, caused by the then new scientific developments known as virtual reality technology, which left them either too depressed and apathetic, or, too tired and strangely lacking energy and enthusiasm, to attend the meetings and rallies that they would have relished attending and enjoyed participating in, during previous times. The aggregate effect of these measures was a shift to the right by most major religions. Second, the major “liberal” religions, like Catholics, were subject to a series of scandals, either contrived currently, or incredibly well researched and documented, with witnesses who were found and interviewed even after decades had elapsed; and, where possible legally represented, which indicated a fully funded staff of investigators, who were organized at a national level, and when occasion required demonstrated international resources as well, in a systematic effort that received prominent coverage, in the radical right faction dominated media, to force all the major religions into a more conservative posture, in terms of church stance on social, economic, and political policies. Third, the other faiths that echoed the “correct” radical right faction approved dogma were the recipients of profusely generous funding, which provided them with a tremendous advantage that was reflected in the pulpit’s generous salaries, the expansive facilities, and the expensive activities of the cooperating churches, who in return publicly advocated Republican voting patterns on the side of arbitrary power. Lost in the shuffle and stampede for material rewards in this life, like obviously expensive retreat facilities, plush churches with corner gift shops and attended by members and ministers who embraced a good life characterized by good clothes, fine cars, nice houses, expensive dinners and fancy vacations, and whose status in the social institutions reflected their financial success, was the fact that Christ and the apostles, according to the most reliable original source documents available, were the world’s first hippies, who preached dropping out and living counter cultural lives that usually centered around peace and love, and were part of the drug taking subculture , which gained the enmity of the Romans and Pharoses. This is in addition to the actions of the contemporary ultra religious right, which has been active in American politics since the post Watergate Ford administration. This is in open opposition to the plain intent and scheme of our US Constitution, which provides regular opportunities for elected Representatives to communicate with their constituencies about national concerns; to air grievances and discuss issues; to complain of problems, like the war in Iraq and Middle East, and the incompetence in dealing with Hurricane Katrina, and not even now correcting policies and circumstances to meet the obvious infrastructure needs of the nation; and, enabling our citizens to obtain redress of them, in an organized serious and legal manner, where laws reflect and respect citizens Civil Rights and Liberties, rather than violate them in capricious and arbitrary ways; and, that the people should have frequent opportunities, besides voice mail and email boxes, of accessing elected officials and providing positive and negative feedback, voicing, either their disgruntlement, and/or, their approbation pertaining to their conduct, which are reflected in the ballot, either voting them in, or, voting them out of office. And, in spite of a Constitution which advocates the separation of church and state that reflects England’s unfortunate experience with Catholic malcontents, Cromwell, and other religious dissidents, the political reality of America is not so carefully delineated, with most populist movements in American history having strong religious contingents, as was sagely observed by the then former President and Sec. of State, Congressman John Quincy Adams.
Thus
the US Constitution assumes the abuse of power recently demonstrated by the
puppet-president and betrayal by Congresses that are purchased; and, it
provides, as far as human wisdom can, that these abuses aren’t continued for
long, with the regular exercise of free elections, where Congress is replaced
every two years along with 1/3 of the US Senators, which serves to curb
corruption. If the puppet-president
persists in usurping the Liberty of the people, or persistently engages in
other forms of corrupt maladministration the people can vote the party out of
office, and either House of Congress can serve as a sufficient control to
curtail the potential damage; however, if the control becomes systemic, and the
Democratic processes are compromised and the system itself becomes
dysfunctional, as has been the case since the radical right faction Republican
Revolution, with absolutist government aided by an adjunct Goebel like
media-propaganda machine and an immoral-criminal organization operated by
subordinate tyrants ‘till the whole society becomes habituated to wrong, there
remains no effective remedy for the system spawned by the US Constitution. The US Constitution becomes broken by the
obstinacy of the radical right faction, and the people have to appeal to a
higher court to ameliorate these deceitfully corrupted, vice ridden
circumstances, where wrong becomes right, “as in all cases where they have no
judge on earth.” (
The
previous reflections are sufficiently grim and others have aided in proving
similar assertions like
If
this is as clear and obvious, after twenty years, as it is to anyone who has
been paying attention; if the proponents of faction and their adjuncts do not
corruptly continue arrogant in their vicious vices to lie and deceive; or, if
their systemic lies, so that they might rob and cheat do not represent a danger
that far out strips any supposed advantages generated, and the disadvantages
inherent in Democracy; and, if the laws and institutions that are as essential
to the Civil Rights and Liberties of the nation, as is its ancient and
fundamental Constitution, and who wish to see them compromised, they should be
maintained for the sake of progress, prosperity and Happiness all of which
extend in an accelerated curve inexorably from Liberty; let me ask again, how
has it transpired that we see so great a disparity between the just sentiment
and reason of mankind about our government built and functioning on the US
Constitution, and laws existing to protect the Civil Rights and Liberty of
private citizens, thus serving society, too, from that which has transpired
from the start of the radical right faction Republican Revolution ‘till today? The only way, in which this could have
occurred and for this gaping disparity to exist, is its instigators were caught
in the webs of their own deceit so preoccupied with if it could be done, by the
ignorant and impaired sycophants that always flock to tyranny, that they didn’t
consider if it should, and what would be the consequences in stead of just the
immediate and superficial bottom line perspective; the active elements and
ambitious people didn’t understand the nature of power and tyranny, how it
warps virtue transforming it into vice by functioning to exploit and injure the
prospects of others and society; and society becomes molded into an apathetic
brutal herd habituated to the calumnious products of base deceit and sadistic
torture. The facts and circumstances
that reason portrays as base and wicked, and experience demonstrates as vicious
and defiling when overwhelmed by emotion and guile, become perceived less and
less, as it occurs remote on the media, until the enticed people become familiar
with what formerly created indignation and fright, as virtue is carried into
vice; by the time it happens, it becomes the corruption of the age. If the Germans were told, during the
It
is not surprising today when we learn of corruption, or the subordinate tyrants
go to great pain to deceitfully vilify their victims and disguise the true
nature of their vicious vices, sadistic torments, and personally enriching
iniquities. If the citizens had honestly
been previously told prior to the radical right faction Republican Revolution
about the phony aggressive wars, staggering World Largest National Debt,
plummeting standards of living, job flight, privatizing Medicare and efforts to
privatize Social Security, too, worse education for the majority of children,
incompetence and greed replacing sound policies that benefit all US citizens
and, that the honest labor of 200 years would be lost in a couple of stupid
Republican puppet-president’s administrations in about 20 years; and, that
these disasters would transpire while our government continued to function on
the foundation that had lasted since 1776: if it had been suggested at the
beginning of the Republican actor puppet-president Ronald Reagan’s
administration, it would’ve seemed improbable and obscene to the supporters of
the radical right faction Republican Revolution, and the friends of the US
Constitution. Yet, it is our great
tragedy to have to truthfully say, and in a twenty year time period, it’s
transpired becoming habituated to us.
The uniform enthusiasm for government based on the US Constitution, the
little concern for what’s been happening, government without regard for public
prosperity and the Civil Rights and Liberties of its citizens; though this is
convenient for the radical right faction, a society conditioned to being
oppressed and government designed to serve the interests of faction making it
profitable to them at every one else’s expense.
But, we’ve no longer a government by the people and for the people,
neither separation of power, nor regular election serve to protect the Rights
and Liberties of its people; and, it remains to be seen that with the
duplicitous participation of an adjunct media-propaganda machine and
entertainment industry, it will grow familiar to the citizens; who’ll grow
docile, and wearing the capricious yoke of the bigoted biases of the ruling
elite, and chained with links of ignorance and poverty, they’ll learn to think
of them with approbation. Unfortunately,
history makes a good case for this scenario.
Two alternatives confront America a discontinuous and continuous, in the
first we habituate ourselves to the vice and corruption, which is an inherent
predatory model that grows in numbers and severity ‘till it collapses; and, in
the second, we curtail faction’s ruling elite and its subordinate tyrants
who’re out of control and lack the ability to control itself because of its
internal extremist generating dynamics, and private citizens re-establish
Democracy with its beneficent social characteristics of Equality, Liberty,
Egalitarian Safeguards, which promote diversity, stability, safety, progress,
and prosperity which in turn increases Happiness. The arguments of convenience, public safety,
temporary crises that needs the exception which becomes the rule, strength
abroad and emotional excuses that turn back from things like the Truth, Reason
and Experience; and, the compromised election process which have produced
corrupt politicians, and incompetent government has already exploited the
situation at the local, state and national levels; and those who support honest
and competent government carefully controlled by the US Constitution protecting
citizens interests, and Liberty are rarely heard compared to the champions of
popular vice and malicious corruption.
However, now is not the time for pessimism and discouragement to
overwhelm the friends of the US Constitution, let the lovers of
