THE STOLEN CHILD

Where the rocky highlands serenely rises

in the West Hills of the city,

there lies an island of leafy vegetation

where song birds wake

the slumbering urban rats;

there we’ve grown our concealed berry patches,

full of white flowers for this year’s crop

of the reddest berries imaginable.

 

Where waves of moonlight cascade down

over the dew washed leaves,

far off above the furthest fast growing roses

we silently sit all the night

and weave old dreams

mingling exhalations and mingling glances,

till the moon tires and falls from the night sky;

to and fro our agile minds go

as we pursue the frothy bubbles of time,

while the world is ruled by troubles

and anxiety watches over its sleep.

 

Where wandering ideas percolate

from the springs above Sylvan

and pool in branching tertiary streams

before running away in little laughing rivulets

that scarcely bathe a star,

and who have dreams of their own,

of times of greater flow, when trout would sleep

and murmur in the brooks ears

their dreams of great voyages and vast waters;

but, the chill night’s tears dangle quietly

from the graceful arching fronds,

before crowning the water and christening

the young streams with waves who trouble their sleep

with disturbing dreams.

 

Away with them, they’ve stolen

the solemn eyed sun,

whose eyes look so like his mother’s:

he won’t get to see the green grass dissolve into darkness,

he’ll hear no more the lone dog’s distant bark

on hillsides heated in the evening by the city;

or, the tea-kettle cheerfully whistling on the stove,

his parents singing about peace and happiness

that he internalizes in his breast;

or, see, “You Can’t Take It With You”, “Bank Dick”,

“Modern Times”, “Duck Soup”, and Wells play “Macbeth”

on the family DVD player.

 

For now, the young man comes home,

to a condo where he lives with a right wing whore who reports on him,

while she tries to seduce his father; as he is surrounded by dead echoes,

who try to tell him what absurdities to think;

and, after working hard all day he’s still a privileged member of the working poor,

and so, he plays with caricature characters,

on a mindless puerile computer game on internet

that programs the same prejudices he receives all day along with his slave wages

from the velvet gloved steel fisted masters at work; and, he

watches, while others coerce by starving and using vicious vice ridden iniquities

to torture victims: in a brave new world flooded with more weeping

than his poor honest heart can begin to understand.

 

 

 

SWEET

Sweet are the moonbeams, sweet are the mountain meadows,

sweet are the sagacious conversations of peace loving people of good will;

the music is sweet, so is the grass dancing with delightful grace,

and so is my love’s beautiful face,

caressed by the sunshine and shadow of the woods when its still:

but, everything under Heaven would be better:

if humans were allowed to be free, Happy, and wise

and, fate were not so bitter and hard.

 

 

 

 

FOUL

Little titmice hop

bravely beneath the bushes

high piping notes gregariously sound

marking their ingenuous progress

across the garden carpeted with white petals

falling in a blizzard from the nearby fruit trees.

 

But, we who are wiser,

hurry by on to the front porch

and into the illusory safety of the house,

where we’re spied on

behind transparent walls

by invasive technologies -

whose use if supporting

that which is reasonable

is superfluous, and if not

should not be used at all –

 

so computerized psychological profiles

can be constantly updated,

to make private parties’ efforts

to pervert people, solicit adultery, and acts of violence

more efficiently making communities

less safe and more immoral,

with male and female prostitutes

and children who are whored with sexual and physical abuse

who are conditioned to lie so they can cheat

and whose impertinence has arrogantly degenerated

into sadistic norms designed to torment

their targeted victims who are anyone

they dislike and disagree with, or merely find convenient.

And, so it goes that the tormented targeted victims

are conditioned to hate,

so that they’ll commit abhorrent acts of violence

(in places near Washington DC, like Virginia,

to divert the nation from corrupt factional malfeasance)

against any arbitrary ethnic, racial, religious and sub-cultural group

that the private parties are trying to influence,

and so, they pretend to protect; or, they try and

exacerbate the emotional duress of their targeted victims

with depression and anxiety

usually combined with sleep deprivation,

in efforts which also solicit self-destructive acts

that end in institutions, mutilations,

and worst of all suicides which are actually camouflaged murders.

 

And, then, habituated to intimidating people

with extortion and coercion,

while pretending the sadism that tortures and torments

someone somehow is good and anything but Evil.

 

Meanwhile, the old man who wanders

around cultivating himself and his garden,

advocating Reason and that people should have more fun and not less,

prudently living moderate lives, while behaving appropriately

in mutual forbearance respecting the rights of others

as he’d have his own rights respected;

and, he’d live according to free will and self-determination,

in harmony with the nature of his being,

to the extent that it doesn’t directly violate other people’s rights:

is more morally perspective and wise

than the displaced denominations by Mammon’s money,

whose priests and ministers preach from pulpits on Saturday and Sunday

to those who perversely prey on the old man

and others like him, for both pleasure and profit,

seven days a week, 52 weeks a year:

these things are abominable, in the eyes of decent humanity and God!

 

 

 

FOOL

You may pull a ruby out,

of a mean bears mouth;

you may cross inter-galactic space,

like your own private pool;

a boa constrictor may lie,

like a pretty bow tie:

but, you never can convince a fool!

 

 

 

HOMELAND

Puppet-president leader of sadness and misery,

who blasphemes our Civil Rights?

Where do our sorrows end?

In cemeteries funerals burry grotesque

mutilated corpses that finally realize they’re dead.

What rivers of tears flow for you,

while the embrace of death brings Peace and Safety

to your desolate inner domains?

 

 

 

YES INDEED
Yes indeed, those who loath me most in this World

technologically try to draw and quarter me. But,

its contradistinctive with the one great love of the Universe

that’s greater than theirs, and, its Yours that makes us free.

 

If I don’t get up and call You in my prayers,

and if I don’t keep You content, comfortable, and Happy;

then, Your gracious love for me will still patiently wait for my love.

 

 

 

ASSISTANCE

During the day they come up grinning to our town,

they said,” We only want the smallest house.

Please accept our modest assistance, as partial payment and poor present employment

that tomorrow will be great wealth.

 

And, let us aid you in worshiping God as we humbly help

(like a contemporary Uriah Heep) you arrange your affairs, as God’s grace intended.”

And then, with warm smiles and friendly manners they start helping.

 

But, by 12 o’clock in the darkest hour of the night

buried beneath a maze of ever darkening shadows

we discovered they’d yoked us with their severe persecutions

 

and chained us with ignorance and poverty, where they left us

oppressed and miserable; and, then we latter learned

that arrogantly they blasphemously stole with unholy avarice, and, blinded by pride

they abused power and perverted our sacred shrines’ services and good gov’t’s strength.

 

 

 

SHATTERED SHARDS

Shards of shattered sunlight shower about me

and dance in the forests. Through flashing stained glass fragments

that fall in the vast verdant valley floor, I stumbling sought

to reach a state of mind that, while still alive and active, was at peace and tranquil.

 

The cold stream stayed crystal clear,

where I walked alone in April showers, of petals that effaced flowers

and carpeted the ground, made beautiful by the gardner’s labor,

with runes written on the wind.

 

A lonely vision swept from the vessel,

a silent wailing naked in its unique singularity;

alone, each bright luminous petal softly lands,

and, immersed and solitary, I might still be somehow connected.

 

And, this wonderful event will prove bountiful

succulent sweet tasting pears

hanging head high a crop

better than the bitter harvest I’ve seen.

 

The iniquitous harvest that revealed its trees vile species,

a degeneration into tyranny and then chaos:

the fractals of Mathematics that negate a person’s life,

a rare canvas cascading down into dust and Death.

 

A squirrel barks its warning in twilight

and silent rising burnished copper

a huge, full, misplaced, harvest moon wanders out of season,

as those whose laughter rose from different roads were silenced.

 

God, many of your mansions are draped in crepe

and hard laughter sharp edged as a knife

mocks words like honor, Freedom, and Peace

pressed into the confines of a shadow filled rectangular space.

 

In a brotherhood of persecution around me,

I borrow the seasons of home,

a sick land dressed in bandages and bathed with shards.

A home that’s alien to reason, where ill is the season of mind that descends.

 

 

 

IT SEEMED

It seemed as though silence cracked

and voices poured open,

parched tongue and lips sought water,

hands lifted the skies.

 

And, what open skies! Whiter than a corpse, still as death

that softly shakes my soul awake;

shoeless feet, don’t encumber the still growing toenails,

whose distance traveled can’t be measured in minutes and miles.

 

Elk waded a mist shrouded river,

wind whispered quietly to trees,

branching lattice limbs lift

hidden stars that flit through shadows.

 

 

LETTERS FROM THE RADICAL RIGHT REPUBLICAN DYNASTY

Notes from a ‘Still Truckin’ Underground

Soon it’ll be thirteen years since the mockingbird,

for it’s own safety, was sadly placed in a gilded cage.

And, the woods and parks, where subordinate tyrants hang out in

to spy in “new” computer designed cars and wash down lunches

with the blood of people subjected to their severe persecution – er, “re-cycled”;

and, the copses and gardens are filled, with either the crows raucous cries,

or, the redundant sounds of aggressive starlings, or, the monotonous thin piping of black

birds:

‘till, leaning back they turn on the radio that tells them what to think on every subject.

 

Its this sordid sort of anniversary, odd numbered, and extremely wrong

that we celebrate this day that’s our unofficial national holiday: April 1^st.

The cosmetics that smooth away wrinkles in the mirror costs more each year.

Our row houses’ postage stamp yards are paved over, and, weeds sprout through cracks.

The painfully empty skies are now a sickly, dirty, grayish, beige white,

pierced by scattered spires, a catafalque supported by buildings,

whose corpses are only allowed to be seen in profile.

I speak to my sons about Hyden’s chemical basis of thought,

 

and, how much fun can be had extrapolating from a variety based reality,

like various perspectives being insightful for Truth;

they begin to change the subject....

this poem to you, Love, from your, ‘still Truckin’, land tortoise,

is written on lined paper, given to me from the Queen of Hearts.

Lately, there are no forests, but the store’s supply of blank paper seems endless.

 

 

 

THE WAR CONTINUES

I.

We who aren’t betrayed by blind subservience to power,

nor a bigoted perverted faith, nor foolish persistence to lost labor,

nor have been habituated, nor master over many wage slaves,

made blind with 20/20 vision, have constantly mourned that man

should fall prey, to his own frail weaknesses and strong passions

and with sincere thoughts nurture fervent hopes of its eventual redemption;

 

these recur by the reported daily death count, which our tardy troupe evacuation

condemns US to just claims of degenerate, corrupt folly

and inevitable failure, in this foulest age, since Caligula and Nero held stage;

and, re-affirms me in the steadfastness of my resolve,

to refuse to participate by being a willing tool of Evil,

aiding tyranny to forge chains for future generations and commit iniquities that only

serve to increase human misery.

 

II.

Dark is the domain of sadness and sorrow: but,

mankind may not understand, who stand buried beneath

their impregnable ignorance and can not weep.

 

III.

And, again descend the dark shadows of tyranny on mankind

subordinating other’s hearts to their own capricious bigotry

without any clear idea of what they think, or whatever

orchestrated deceit compelled them to their belief –

paranoid of Truth, or any analysis that exposes their absurdity,

thoughts that are echoes of shadows cast by devouring flames,

whose spiteful carnage leaves a track of desolation

around the gloom shrouded World that they leave behind.

 

 

 

A ROOM UPSTAIRS
Sweet one, sweet one, I dreamed you into being

sweet one, sweet one you hold the key to my heart,

she moves in the dull darkness

pensive in her solitude – a life apart.

 

She cleans up from dinner, so

that her kitchen is “all neat and tidy”: happy,

to a room upstairs overlooking the valley,

willingly with her I go.

 

She turns on a tiffany lamp,

and, an island of light floats in the sea of shadow that floods the room;

reflecting in the doorway,

her presence fills the room and lightens the gloom.

 

And, sweeter than an afternoon faun,

she’s fun loving and kind;

to a room upstairs, overlooking the valley,

with her I gladly go, down echoing corridors to the end of time –

where we enter a mysterious mirror.

 

 

 

 

 

CONTEMPORARY LEPERS

 

“Abandon all hope ye who enter ...”

 

Day dawned, as soon as branches sprouting little translucent leaves

had drunk the scented dew, the indigent’s door swung open on its hinges

and the social pariah, like anachronistic anchorites,

poured deep all day into desolate places, the city square,

and urban parks, the water front and concrete canyons, whose remote perspectives

tranquil and, green, and gray, and arboreal, were inhabited with bustle

browsing indiscriminately on herbage and garbage,

as the blue heron silently stalked its shadow across the blue pellucid shallows.

 

Some had established territories, like street corners, for panhandling,

and, just like the right wing narcs, with their signs,

they hustled for money, for even the destitute have needs;

a flowering tree was more fragrant than a perfume,

a hot pretzel sold from a nearby vendor was more savory than caviar;

and, others were walking the water front,

or park block grottoes with worn and weary lawns;

and, in interspersed oasis of trees,

their gushing fountains surrounded by sporadic murals and leprous walls.

This is how these brave Ulysses harnessed time,

who flew by fleetingly through felicity and slowly through their suffering swamps.

 

But, there were those who no longer even shuffled

from their indigent digs in the morning dragging their chains of hopes behind them.

These emaciated wretched and dolorous souls, who had abandon their passions

and were walking their shadows among the other grotesques,

some mumbling to themselves tormented by technological demons,

through banks of shifting shadows in canyons high and gray,

an eye on the solar clock,

whose Phaeton held reigns hurried their fleeing lives towards eternity.

 

And, when they sat, invisible in their clothes provided for them,

not from charity but so they could go among US unnoticed and unaware

(how many there were and how big of a problem they represented)

backs pressed against tightly shut doors,

where they swayed delicately balanced between the known and the mysterious.

They were lost in themselves,

nothing penetrating their sepulchral silence,

except the periodic stampede of herds of angry cars

exhaling clouds of exhaust from their slobbering tailpipes,

as they thundered down the dirty asphalt streets;

these events were duly noted daily, by public traffic cameras;

and, by the sound of distant church bells chiming from a loudspeaker

perched on the nearby corner of a roof from some squat building,

low enough to be heard by the plebian pedestrian traffic;

because, almost all of the churches were abandoned

and stood locked and empty, they were maintained

exclusively for their immense commercial value as real estate assets.

 

Unnoticed, among the undifferentiated no longer white collar workers -

whose employers mandated they wear casual clothes, like the indigents,

so that they supposedly wouldn’t notice,

as though they wouldn’t notice,

the exploitatively low wages of wage slaves -

a death rattle sounded from a slumping dead person,

whose coevals continued on as always; until finally, a right wing spy saw and stopped,

and they called in, on a ubiquitous cell phone,

and reported it, hoping perhaps for a partial bounty;

while, the rest of the dispirited recluses retired,

back to the gallery of bugged cots and two way mirrored bathrooms

that were nothing more than doleful human holding pens.

 

 

 

TWILIGHT TREES

In the magic portal that is twilight,

let our shadows adumbrate together

loosing all sense of yours and mine;

 

and, under the tall stately trees

that we’ve now grown to be,

disappear in the night that descends upon us.

 

 

 

SIDEWALK ART

To the artist whose canvas is the sidewalk,

and the park with trails that are slithering lines to the cartographer...

But, we exist complete in a hand and ready to unfold in form, line, and color

down the distant trail, wreathed in wisps of smoke, and that peculiar odor!

that swirling kaleidoscope of color, decay, and new spring growth

making one think in dew drenched woods of rainbows, mathematics and death.

 

This ship of fools is ours and like a modern flying Dutchman

it extends from my childhood in a ray with no end.

We exist like mixed metaphors that swirl into a funnel and vanish into space.

I have seen many writhing like a phrase and reinvent them in words

that spill across the page. I’ve seen many other things of incredible beauty

in a continent of clouds, some that are dead, others that are visions

and some which are destined to exist in a neverland in between

 

King Solomon’s gardens, the Aleph the size of a walnut, and during

the Mu’awiyah caliphate a man from Kerbela who realized that it was indeed

“their time”, and continued on at home in the family mausoleum

the world outside swirling alive brown, green, blue, and red behind white curtains

that kept disappearing in a colorless prescient of sadness,

where people seemed to be traveling in their sleep

who would look at you with sorrowful, dead eyes –

 

to entertain my mother I’d play classical music and read poetry

who was young and would smile thinly and yawn.

A tree was cut down beside our home for my mother‘s capricious whim;

but, in the hole made by the absent tree in the canopy of crowns

a new one desiring the light reached up with branching limbs

towards the sunlight that pierced the gloom,

and, the yard erupted with color

and wisps of mist danced gracefully

in the eternal mysterious twilight.

 

 

 

THE CALM

Travel is difficult now days: your shy about your delicate condition

and the awkwardness moving your bulky body entails. But, we make do,

placing the collage of colored leaves on the coffee table, playing Mozart

on the stereo: for his sake, we surround you two, and I make three with beauty.

 

I place my ear on your mysterious round ripe belly,

I read great literary works to our sleeping baby.

After work we go for walks as a family

and feel the fresh air and gentle warmth of the setting Sun.

 

May the wind from the fir forests caress my face with its soft hands.

I constantly want you to eat, to strengthen the child,

you say don’t worry, while watching your weight.

During your gavid days you try to remain calm, to not hate;

 

And so, I try not to complain and try not to do things that annoys:

I love you, and now there will be one more to love!

Because, ensconced in the still dark womb

weaves a body with a heart, face and expressions: a miracle of life – another universe!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STONE STEPS

Deprived of sleep, again, I watch

the weary hours of early morn,

and, fill my head with clouds,

a caravanserai of beautiful dreams;

then, the library that was dulled by darkness,

becomes an enchanted realm, whose walls contain

whole universes topologically layered in a magical multi-dimensional collage.

 

 

Dawn, slowly spins its gray web over the window.

A chill shadow shivers behind the shutters.

I deflect the vanity driven hates, and hone the fine art of the question –

answers usually take care of themselves.

Later, random events, like the mailman empting the mailbox

and pouring it full of stupid syllables that insult one’s intelligence

signify the passing of time, while the windows stare blindly

at the empty gray sea outside, where cars drive by

with their passengers of dreams devouring miles dreaming

the moments that float away gleaming like strings of precious pearls.

Streetlights stand, extinguished, sentinels in the morning mist: too soon

the gay dancing flaming flowers expire.

 

The frozen universe descends in slow motion over the earth,

where most of the generic geometric houses retain their warmth

behind various indifferent nondescript exteriors

the day is pale as a corpse, and, the stone steps in the park

remain an eternal solemn reminder.

The city’s stone steps seem to sleep peacefully,

they retain the ancient dreams of freedom that slumber in their hearts.

Stones that rest solidly beneath the few people who visit

and infuse the charm, beauty and significance of the gardens,

buried beneath the impatient city’s swelling wave of white noise.

Stones that seem inert, but who’re free; their freedom hidden, within the quiet strength

of their reclusive natures.

Stones which serve humanity, as a witness to their belief in Heaven.

STUDIES ON DEMOCRACY

Demonstrations & Miscellaneous Items

 

The previous study on the contemporary effects of faction clearly revealed that I no longer lived in a free country; and, it was a striking realization, because it not only demonstrated the continued validity of that time honored political axiom about power corrupting and absolute power corrupting absolutely, but several aspects of the morally degenerative process transpiring with the people involved that corresponded with previously known instances of abuses of power that it gave me a greater regard and respect for certain qualitative aspects of existence, like Justice, Liberty, and Equality to only mention a few. I was made aware of the current relevance that maintaining a jealous ever alert vigilance is essential, to guard these national treasures from not just invasion but from the more probable and insidious internal threat from decay and corruption, which is the best wisdom and first responsibility of both an individual and a nation. However, I previously considered these as national characteristics that made America special and served as its stable lasting legacy from generation to generation and not as a precious possession that was stolen, and that it was now necessary to struggle for its restitution, against extremely long odds – for throughout human history Civil Rights once lost are rarely ever restored. The primary reason is that those who are capable of such a breach in prudent conduct lack the sound judgment to perceive the profound seriousness of the error, it is as noted degenerative and increases the range of the domain of its extreme negative impact, the process commences with a group that opportunistically seizes on circumstances, or manipulates them and sacrifices national interests for base personal benefit, which eventually digresses into a state of tyranny that abuses power to compel society to reflect the capricious personal prejudices of the tyrants for the best of available emotional pretences – of course. The present phony foreign war that the Iraq war represents is a case in point, and the right wing faction deceitful manipulation of our domestic dissatisfaction and cynical utilization of public demonstrations, some of which are legitimate expressions of democracy, by dissident elements shows us some of the unpleasant aspects, of the radical right faction procedures which are not reconcilable to Christian morality and Democracy’s traditional view of humanity, charity, good faith, decency and justice.

The Iraq War is an illegal war of aggression. The legitimate demonstrations are being used by Machiavellian right wing elements, to discredit dissidents with the public by the radical right controlled propaganda-machine which functioning in its adjunct role to the abuse of power vainly tries to gain public approbation, not by legitimizing the fraudulent war for right wing factional advantages (like artificially improved industrial-military profits, increased national debt that’s the largest in world history that they receive the interest from, and national debt gives faction greater leverage influencing public policy in order to make them more money pursuing exploitative measures, including camouflaged attacks on the beneficial public entitlements, like privatizing Social Security and Medicare, whose proposed privatization will be profitable for faction) but by discrediting dissidents; either, by contrived violent actions by planted right wing provocateurs during and after legitimate dissident demonstrations, or, by the right wing placing extremely visible disreputable looking individuals wearing seedy clothes decorated in crass anti-establishment slogans like FUCK COPS. It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, and the radical right faction dominated media utilizes the ploy to duplicitously further its private agenda on an honest and unsuspecting public. The radical right faction, with the able assistance of its adjunct propaganda-machine, strives to help shape public opinion through demonstrations by two basic means; first, it currently manipulates and negates legitimate dissident demonstrations utilizing the methods already mentioned, and, second, it stages phony dissident demonstrations of their own, in efforts designed to channel the direction and parameters of the issues involved. The right wing efforts go so far as to cynically include employing disruptive demonstrations that are controlled in part with the ubiquitous cell-phones, too, to further the radical right wing interests. The recent manipulation of American demonstrations stems directly from the radical right faction efforts to discredit its economic opponents in international commerce like the WTO, Nike, Microsoft, and Boeing, whose meetings were met with manipulated public demonstrations that received a disproportionate and distorted coverage in the radical right dominated press, like complaining about factories labor practices and failing to mention the same factories also served to make the right wing owned corporation’s shoes, or covering competitor’s labor practices and failing to mention that the right wing companies employed the same practices, too. The right wing faction gained experience in obviously phony street demonstrations for absurd nonentities like the archaic anarchists who were claimed to have held disruptive events at various universities in places like Eugene, Or, and that increased their influence over those universities and municipalities, while furthering their valuable experience for effectively managing street demonstrations against their economic opponents. Unfortunately, these public demonstration measures were combined with an organized campaign of domestic violence that was designed to erode Civil Rights and erroneously associate violence with pot smoking, in efforts designed to ultimately oppress American society; and thus, it performed its function to prepare America for economic exploitation, and it tried to act like all tyrannies and make the USA reflect the prejudices of our would be tyrants. Today’s public dissident demonstrations are a little like theatrical productions; first, the legitimate demonstrators rally, and they listen to speeches made by noteworthy individuals striving to practice democracy, these efforts are counteracted by the radical right faction who plant extremely visible individuals wearing prominently displayed anti-establishment slogans, in efforts where the visual impact of provocateurs negates the dissidents speeches; and, second, after the legitimate dissident demonstrations, the disruptive acts are catalyzed by the right wing faction, who have their right wing subordinate tyrants bring anti-social criminal types to the event, who are encouraged to commit crimes against public order and private property, which the right wing effectively realize through others, while they generally avoid arrest, except when they want to plant an individual in a targeted adversarial group. The author has been personally recruited for participation, by right wing individuals who were parked above the city dressing and applying make up for one of these demonstrations that degenerated into a race riot.

The motive behind these ploys are as old as at least the 1830s, when historical documents reveal that right wing agitators first tried to manipulate liberal elements, by deliberately whipping them into a “lather”; first, to discredit Liberty, and then, the ever dangerous freedom of thought; second, to further their false claim, to be the only effective means to “control” society for the power elite, third, to help shape public opinion, along lines congenial to their private agenda; fourth, to position right wing faction (not directly related to modern American right wing faction though their methods and reasons are obviously still the same) as advantageously as possible, to dominate government policy and public leaders; and fifth, to help faction pick future leaders compatible with their interests, fortunately the reactionary factional elements were only partially successful. The actions of the corrupt contemporary radical right faction represent nothing but an impertinent usurpation, its representation is like its Civil Rights, only partial, to provide the semblance of a nation in possession of Liberty without the reality; while, the radical right faction has increased its great abuse of power, ‘till its current actions are the full perfection of depravity: and, they, not the legitimate dissident elements, are a great nuisance! The Iraq war is a calamity that’s provoking the just resentment of the nation. The radical right faction oppression stems from public apathy and the futile feelings of being victims without recourse doomed to poverty stricken futures by an active hypocritical element of misanthropic extremists who oppress potential dissidents for pleasure and profit, while pretending to be well connected to power, in direct violation to traditional views of Liberty, Equality and Civil Rights under a Constitution directed Democracy. The radical right faction proceeds without any thought to the inevitable negative consequences of their abusive actions, which are always deceitful, immoral and often violent, too. They would make the very Constitution subordinate to their radical right wing extremist views and duplicitously orchestrate events to serve as palliatives to their erroneous ideas.

These people value their system for the false sense of legitimacy without Reason that it provides. They must look at Democracy as grossly defective in order to necessitate their corrupt factional alternative. By creating false emergencies that seem to threaten the country’s safety, they make their opponents be perceived by the public as disruptive and vicious; and, the radical right faction strive to make government seem as an, absolute and adversarial, inferior alternative to their corrupt, exploitative, and oppressive fraudulent usurpation of government. The present state is the radical right Republican Revolution that has left us afflicted with a illegitimate, usurped, tyrannical government, witness the most recent of a never ending flood of examples of Republican Administration corruption, which indicted Scuder Libby the chief advisor to Republican “Vice” President Cheney and which fired seven prosecutors from the Justice Department, all for political reasons, by people so incompetent and arrogant as to leave e-mails to that effect available for apprehension; proving again, this author’s contention that the failed radical right faction Republican Revolution is a tyranny, and, tyranny attracts impaired labor inputs. Indeed, their principles, if paid any attention, gives cause for concern, because they violate all tenets of organized religion and human rights protected by a Constitutionally governed state; for government by faction digresses to a nadir point where electoral processes dominated by money in one fell swoop are bastardized and corrupted in blood. Their government of manipulated majorities is not representative of people, but of money, whose computerized profiles form the basis for the money interests and their packaged candidates’ to run expensive campaigns of lies that are not reflected in the ensuing terms of government. The Republican controlled Congress, with its homogenous voting record that facilitated this un-scrutinized growth of corruption, is equally bad as the Republican held Executive branch (see previous issues) involving almost every Republican Party leader and their replacements for as long as the Republicans have controlled government; and, in one scandal alone, over 30 Republican members were charged and convicted. The Republican Revolution is based on lies and deceit, which form the fraudulent reality basis of American policy; and, if one of the chief advisors is indicted for lying to the public, it shouldn’t be viewed with any surprise: its corrupt business as usual.

The efforts to oppress the USA have reached the low point where vice must now function to destroy virtue, or it must face the constant exposure of the fact that they’re vice ridden and corrupt. Politically, the radical right Republican Revolution is set to destroy civil power, where it can’t be usurped for base profit; and, their actions are blatantly dishonest, immoral, and violent to an extreme degree that they’re blasphemously destroying the historical role of organized religion, (to encourage good behavior) by a process that first vilifies its victims, as it extorts and coerces citizens, in actions that demolish genuine religion and hurts and destroys people, through operations by subordinate tyrants outside organized civil government channels. They’re oblivious that the worst consequences to the public has happened historically before, and they embrace the double utter ruin of church and state; but, they’re so heated with being habituated to wrongs that pervert science and religion and make them run, like government, contrary to their traditional missions of benefiting mankind, by improving behaviors and acting as a solace that promotes progress and prosperity and increases human Happiness; and, in stead, they serve as an adjunct to the abuse of power by people, either enflamed by passion, or ignorant that they’re functioning in the service of Evil. Any talent serving faction must facilitate the disastrous effects of pursuing exploitative policies that impoverish and injure the vast majority for the exclusive benefit of a few. The effects continue to grow more calamitous! But, a look at the radical right Republican effects on health care alone is enough to prove our contention, where only enough vaccine is provided to vaccinate a limited number of nurses and doctors, 20 million at last count, proving the necessity of action and equally demonstrating the obvious inadequacy of response, in a nation of 265,000,000 million. Anyone may see the cold and calculating eye these people view the greatest potential calamities which can befall their nation and all mankind: so long as they’re in power, and they can make a profit! The Hell with everyone else!

Have I gone too far for a picture of our times? I don’t anticipate a problem from faction whose subordinate tyrants will try to stricture society in their usual immoral spite driven attempts at severe persecution, which they try to rationalize with emotional appeals designed for passion to overwhelm reason. Meanwhile, I intend to continue to present as accurate a picture of the society and Democracy of our day as possible; because, it is becoming unnatural due to the radical right’s extremist measures that ultimately contradict with common sense and reason, and, it will require amelioration utilizing reason before the US can return to a natural, stable, state.

But, we must give serious attention to recent developments in order to understand the character of today and the consequences of these contemporary measures that are a radical departure from the conventional wisdom of our nation’s usual prudent historical precedents that are based on a long and venerable tradition that includes the work of such notable creative geniuses as Aristotle, Locke, Rousseau and James, and in this instance especially those directed towards education. We are justified in condemning the radical right faction’s dismal record on education, when for ten years they were supposed to have waged a deceitful campaign of escalating school violence in a misguided effort to disenfranchise the American public from the traditional public education system, and they tried to replace it with their own radical right Republican system that was two tiered with 80% of our nation’s children to have received inferior educations at public schools and 20% of the children receiving better education at what initially were supposed to be private schools funded by the public, but after the public consistently refused to endorse such a bad plan, subsequently the radical right faction surreptitiously moved to incorporate both tiers directly into the existing public schools systems. It was during this time frame that in Oregon the radical right lead Republicans held public education hostage, refusing to fund $200,000,000 until the state’s energy grid was privatized, and everyone ended up paying over 100% more for energy costs that benefited the radical right faction oil and natural gas industry interests, with a consequent effect of forcing more people and more children to live bellow the official poverty level than ever before. Also, they demanded phone reform legislation, as an additional expense to the state, extorting public education, before they would fully fund public education that ended up costing the good citizens of the state extra millions, too. And, when the Democrats demanded nationally a fair, high quality education system that would benefit the entire country, with one standard for a quality education for all children, with accountability testing to guarantee that the public money was wisely spent while control of schools was retained at the local level, and with measures made to establish improvements for the education programs that failed to meet national testing standards in order for the school districts that failed to continue to receive public monies, was proposed and sponsored by Oregon Democratic Senator Ron Wyden; and, in spite of radical right Republican efforts to derail the legislation, the US public refused to not prudently back a high quality education program for all our nation’s children, as a wise investment for future prosperity and good citizenship. Finally, after over a decade of consistent advocacy for the inferior two tiered education system, the radical right Republicans stopped advocating at the national level, because it negatively effected their political constituency with the people; and, they quietly began implementing their fatally flawed two tiered system at the local levels of government, through a combination of public and charter schools disguised under other names. Now, after almost two decades of trying to burden America with their inferior two tiered education system that costs more and provides a lower quality education for the overwhelming majority of American children, they are still trying to dominate public education at the local level of government. Because, it integrates with computer generated projections for the radical right faction future labor needs that perfectly fit the 80% - 20% split of the radical right Republican education plans, with 80% receiving Third World jobs at Third World wages and experiencing the impoverished Third World standards of living, too; and, 20% receiving good jobs with better pay and prospects of advancement and a good, prosperous life. The unfair folly that is the two tiered radical right Republican education plan burdens the vast majority of American children with futures chained with ignorance and poverty. The model is supposed to promote stable societies, as uneducated people are supposed to have negative egos and be easier to control and easier to satisfy, the thinking is that under-educated, ignorant people will blame themselves for being poor, and not realizing that they’re being deliberately exploited and under the influence of oppression they will docilely accept their dismal fates; and, the remaining 20% aren’t supposed to complain either, because conditioned to be callous and indifferent to the plight of others and no longer identifying with larger social units, they’re left isolated and feeling insecure surrounded by poverty, so they are easier to manage, too. Then, American society will be oppressed and forced into behaving as the ruling radical right faction bigoted biases capriciously compel. This is good for the tyrants, but bad for the overwhelming majority of Americans. The tyrants see nothing wrong with this arraignment for two reasons; first, in the short term, they financially benefit from the arraignment, and second, society reflects the tyrants’ opinion, which is a corrupting perk of power. However, it will be disastrous for America, because extreme measures will be perceived as beneficial, by the moneyed interests who form the ruling elite. And, society becomes yoked to the ruling elite’s prejudices, as society reflects tyranny’s opinion, and, power is abused to accomplish ends that make people poor, ignorant, and miserable. It is obvious why tyranny never lasts as a stable social model.

In Oregon, expensive special elections provide the radical right faction with a new means of controlling public education at the local level, and, it provides the radical right tyranny with a pretence for continuing to oppress people. The radical right subordinate tyrants maintain the absurd position that they represent the only legitimate people who are for children, which the self-serving prospect of overwhelming the popular elections at the local level in order to advance right wing’s selfish interests, by controlling public education with money, somehow is supposed to prove; and, it is supposed to perform another important function that of compensating for the previously mentioned exercise in greed and political extortion, when they had held the state’s children’s education hostage for their personally enriching but economically devastating privatizing energy measure scheme. By buying public schools through paying for the school board members campaigns the subordinate tyrants claim to be demonstrating overwhelming concern for children. It is the same tired ploy of the radical right faction that failed so miserably at the national level only this time it’s applied to the issue of education at the local political level, without the negative impact on the radical right Republican Party. Why are abundant sums of money suddenly readily available for expensive color brochures for relatively insignificant political posts, for expensive computer generated targeted mass mailings, and they were perfectly timed to arrive at voters’ homes the day before the ballots, which demonstrated a level of professional political practice disproportionate to the elected offices in question? This requires money and expertise that individuals running for low level public office like school boards can’t afford to obtain. And, if individuals running for office have received this level of expensive support, then who would financially benefit, and, what would be in it for them that’s worth so much trouble and such a great expense? It not only benefits the radical right faction by successfully concluding their twenty years of effort to guarantee an adequate supply of cheap labor, it furthers the self-serving, self-delusions of the local subordinate tyrants by giving them the pretence of virtue for engaging in their evil oppressive function of severe persecution for the sake of children, all realized by discretely furthering the radical right’s plans for inferior education systems. This time the radical right faction’s misguided efforts are directed at the local level. There is an old saying that vice couldn’t travel so far except for keeping fair company. This demonstrates that the radical right faction have learned nothing from the failure of the radical right faction Republican Revolution at the nation’s capitol. They plan to continue with business as usual, with the radical right Republican Revolution and its oppressive model of society, but they are being planned for the country, by directing their disastrously ineffective manipulative efforts at the local level of government.

I don’t overlook that in America we’re looked at as a unity of one, “one nation under God with liberty and justice for all.” Yet, in Oregon we’ve been bombarded with local special elections that are costing massive amounts of money and extremely effective expensive color brochures have been perfectly timed in an effort to overwhelm the process. The effect on Democracy is it will tend to exclude meaningful participation except for those who have the support of the elite of faction. Duplicitous people start these measures and perceive winning, by overwhelming the local processes with money and professional technical support, as being indications of success that will further the radical right faction private agenda as previously discussed – see previous issues. However, it will serve to reduce meaningful participation from many diverse elements of society and prevent an all uniting nature from building a broad base of people who actively participate in political processes from established records of proven worth which will serve society and not just serve faction, it will tend to curtail widespread participation from a variety of political, social, and economic perspectives that would represent a broad base of popular support. Democracy will become less representative of society, as participation will narrow. It’s the radical right faction abusing power and not individuals abusing personal freedom that has given America its current wounds to humanity. The inner harmony of human nature based on individual Liberty, and Equality that was broken by faction and a destructive populist social dynamics that divided the nation into two opposing camps, tormentors and tormented, on one hand the power elite and their adjunct media propaganda machine, Republican Party political pawns, and subordinate tyrants’ severe persecutions while hypocritically claiming to be for children whose lives they devour and on the other side the rest of humanity. The nature of local government will transform, just as it did at the national level, attracting deceitful people after the initial period that’ll continue benefiting from the previous Democratic phases where honest individuals are still available. The people who lie and cheat and function to make government corrupt in the future are the ones duplicitous in nature whose hostility and hate are attracted to this dishonest scenario and are placated by superficial rationalization to justify their transgressions in their own eyes anyway. Hence, the radical right faction is doomed to degenerative behavior characterized by vice and corruption that we’ve all observed ravage the nation recently at the national level of government under Republican puppet-president Bush Jr..

This basic subversion was further demonstrated in the Sunday paper when it ran a front page article, upper left, warning about drug use in affluent high school students. It stated the old tired litany that if your young, successful, and rich you’ll be likely to experiment with the recreational use of drugs. This article serves as an example of a predominate group, which shuns the light and functions behind the public stage, while running the complex propaganda machinery, dictates with rigorous strictness that conditions society to be oppressed, by formalizing how the free intelligence of humanity is to be chained down. The dead punitive laws replace free will and self-determination, as a guide to blinded mankind. No mention was made of the radical right faction monopoly of the international drug trade, nor did the article describe the horizontal integration by the monopoly supplier that has transformed the local distribution networks and ruthlessly placed them under their direct control, nor did the article mention the invasive spy technology that makes the possession and sale of recreational drugs impossible without being caught. The article was self-serving if there are recreational drug users out there it’s under the knowledge and full acquiescence of the radical right faction’s subordinate tyrants. The article is circular in that it states that there is this threat, and then, it uses the threat to justify the radical right faction’s subordinate tyrants’ existence. Also, it served to provide a rational for their evil ploys that includes though failed to mention extortion, coercion, and slander (see previous issues for a more extensive partial listing of crimes) that the subordinate tyrants routinely employ, as they engage in their severe persecution of citizens who are dissidents and honestly disagree, or are people that the subordinate tyrants dislike, or are merely convenient and profitable targets. The article serves to inflame passion, and it ignores just questions about the subordinate tyrants’ use of prostitution (male and female), perverts, and abuse sexual and physical of children. Other related articles have defined the parameter on an issue representing the recreational behavior pot smoking that embraced 75% of Americans a few short years ago, describing participants as being addicts and dope fiends, and erroneously associated pot smoking with the radical right’s artificially contrived acts of violence, and the use of serious drugs, which then provided the pretence to justify the oppression of citizens’ Civil Rights that serves the radical right faction as the basis for their economic exploitation that has been such an utter dismal failure and lead to tyranny and wide spread vice and corruption.

This is a perfect example of propaganda-media used as an adjunct to the abuse of power violating private citizens’ constitutional rights, which in this instance is the pursuit of Happiness. The radical right faction arbitrarily capriciously classifies groups of solid citizens as bad people and thereby simplistically self-servingly delineate society into two artificial camps, the good guys themselves, who corruptly engage in evil iniquities and sadistically torment, and, the bad guys who are their vilified victims and who are starved, severely persecuted, and sadistically tormented for merely disagreeing with the previous group and wanting to have a little fun, and behaving according to societal norms of one short decade ago, and harmoniously with how God had made them. At length society ,wearies and begins to become impoverished and bifurcates into two parts as it proceeds to start the long degenerative process that ends in a corrupt chaotic state. They are disintegrating into a state of moral bankruptcy, in which authority is nothing but the pure brutal abuse of power which is the most corrupt condition known to man, spiteful malicious, and hating they deceive everyone they can who they simultaneously fear, oppress and exploit. And, at length government becomes a tool of iniquity and so it is no longer respected and thought to be not necessary by those who think they can do without it. My subject has led me naturally to a distressful place that the alarming tendencies that our times have clearly demonstrated result from the factional sources of evil. The article would falsely suggest that there is no other way for society to develop. This antagonistic attitude toward freedom that utilizes the abuse of power in the subordination of other people’s Civil Rights, they exclusively utilize to tyrannically violate and usurp the Civil Rights of first targeted others; and then, the process of usurpation is generalized to become the common condition of human experience, while faction exclusively retains its Civil Rights and uses them, to resolve strife with blatant acts that abuses power; rather than, common sense and reason, as faction invoking capricious laws invoked by a corrupt system that’s been overwhelmed by money, it rises to predominance, supreme in its monopolistic control of information and government, which it uses to oppress and exploit society.

But, whatever the final benefit to the nation and world of the radical right faction’s utopian scheme, it can’t be denied that corruption accompanies this perceived effort to perfect the human species, by compelling it to reflect the capricious opinion of a ruling elite; and, it’s obvious, a plan that dominates everyone else’s Civil Rights runs against the kind of Democratic culture civilization has aspired towards, in the last 10,000 years of it’s history; and, it causes suffering for those who disagree, and, it afflicts the promoters with a kind of vice ridden malevolence. I admit there are problems associated with the extreme abuse of freedom, many are the result of mistaken efforts of intervention; but, Democracy requires certain temperate social characteristics functioning in equilibrium to produce a society of Happy, virtuous, and self-actuated people. And, the radical right faction Republican Revolution and its efforts to oppress society with modern invasive technology runs against the wisdom of the ages, and it attacks and violates our cultural heritage that rests on a firm and just foundation of Liberty, Equality and Property Rights. In the case the radical right faction have based, a case built from a false propaganda campaign two decades old, where humanity will be left the slaves of those who wield power, if not today, which already has an extensive record of unabated corrupt abuse of power, then tomorrow, or the day after, the point being, it’s not if it’s when, society will fall victim to this inevitable tragic fate! And, we are left with a sad situation with our national resources and labor consumed in base servile employment to industrial-military, oil industry and insurance company greed; and, they make record profits, while the country is consumed by the largest debt in the history of the world, and, the country is viewed as the world’s biggest threat to world peace. A false fate that stamps us with humiliation, and leaves our people with mutilated natures bound by bondage – all this destroying our national heritage based on Liberty; in order for future generations to experience Happiness in their leisure the way people did 50 years ago, so a group of tyrants can consecrate themselves, for others moral health, by committing evil immoral and violent iniquities. Can anything be more absurd?

Is it reasonable for us to expect, mankind to alter humanity’s basic nature that always manifests itself variably in a deterministic bell shape curve, according to the natural log rhythm? Can tyrants steal from Nature a species for any arbitrary end, without mutilating it and destroying so much of society and its Democratic institutions and government that its reduced to nothing but a degenerate state, beset by a vice and corrupt fate that seems to fly in the face of Reason? It must be false to lose a cultural heritage as old as civilization, in order to perfect humanity in any particular way; and, even the law of nature dooms the efforts that have been so badly begun, with perverted science and acts that destroy us, leaving us in a totalitarian maw.

One last note, in an era confronting a health care crises and the prospect of a plague of bird flu comparable in impact on society to the black death, the radical right faction’s subordinate tyrants have utilized the development of a new technological that can artificially induce flu like symptoms. They can make a person experience nausea, light headedness, dizziness, weakness, and head aches. And, already they have corruptly used it on sporting events, to make money wagering on the manipulated outcomes. Society losses, as sports events become theatrical productions, with prearranged scripts that predetermine the results advantageously for whoever wields the technology. Individuals lose the sense of accomplishment and self-esteem that working hard, realizing a state of excellence, and producing results based on a combination of ability, hard work, and will power justly deserves; and, in stead a person observes their accomplishments reduced to nothing, or worse an empty cheat, as society watches the spectacle of sports and champions reduced to fraud. The radical right subordinate tyrants felt that the deserving team should win, which actually meant the team that most closely reflected the caprice of their opinions! This is a new wrinkle in a previously established practice, where subliminal virtual reality technologies were used to impair athletic performance. But, this technology combined with the other makes the process much more devastatingly effective. In all that we have been discussing, we have the knowledge but science and technology seem to have outpaced our ability to wisely manage them.
