HER SUPPORTERS ARE VENTING

This post is for the angry Hillary people. I read their angst filled lines and wonder; where do they think I was these last few years? They talk of Hillary’s superior coalition, her special interest groups and broad coalition that were so formidable, until everyone rolled over for the speech maker.

I know this was the narrative the Hillary folks both sold and convinced themselves of, but for some of us out here like me, who would have gladly voted for Hillary Clinton once upon a time, her war record spoke to us more than anything else. That she enabled the farce of rationalizations so long after most were exposed, (some on day one to the critically thinking endowed), was a shock to the cause of this nation. Her political positioning by poll assumption was the last straw. War is the most serious and consequential of happenings, and she was acting on preemptive political cunning rather than principle. Obfuscation, death and destruction ensued, but she has that lame excuse.

Some may well think that cunning and a list of promises, and a reference to being tough are what a leader requires. That is not all to many of us. Leadership requites being willing to take a stand when others are bending over backwards in fear. It is true that Barack Obama has not been vetted to the degree those out in the public view for much longer have. But he has shown a passion to succeed when all assume it is impossible. Instead of the same old plan most politicians seem unable to waver from, he at least shows a willingness to seek an answer. I would more easily trust his team than the same old’s who were hovering around Hilary Clinton’s campaign. She showed an eager desire to wade into the mud in desperation, pretty much he did not.

All the women I happen to know are for Obama, but it seems some people (usually women) assume most women were for Hillary (poll data said a majority, not all), so since it was cast into an us or them thing, it’s all a misogyny thing. I trust this is just the stupidity of assumption, for if we vote for those candidates just because they are like us in sex, race or other appearances, we are complete fools. ( As a man, I personally wish most politicians were women. They (women) are generally more likely to be more rational in a collective sense, simply because they are not as much testosterone impaired, and tend to a more wholesome view. Sorry men.)

But I do not have much sympathy for the disgruntled Hilary Supporters. They were, via their candidate, willing to side with another Jekyll & Hyde of a “conservative” pandering to doublespeak, over one of their own philosophy! Do they really think John McCain stands for much of anything except all they are against?

This does not speak well of the view of some vocal Hillary folks out there still fuming about their fair and square defeat, although they were lead along on that Russian Roulette of rationalizations she kept spinning. My. How they would have been disappointed once she got in and low and behold, the same old corporate state kept taking over. We have to keep at anyone of these characters once they get in there. I think Obama will likely have an outstanding Cabinet, especially compared to this last disaster. The Democrats have actually intelligent people interested in the common good to draw from. And do not be surprised if he reaches across the aisle here and there for the best and to overcome the Rovian divisiveness of the right wing divide and conquer cult of fear.

At least there is an opportunity with Obama to serve more of the people than those reshaping the country and world into their own dynasties. If the conservative Republican-lite Democrats are going to sit this out or change sides to the oligarchs, stay there please. But if you want actual government accountability and at least a premise of citizen input, dust off your shoes and get to work for progress and opportunity. For unlike the conservative divide and conquer party, rational people know we are all in this together even when we are not under dirrect attack, or hypothetical ones.

And for the pro McCain guy saying Barack was in school while McCain was living; My word! You need more than Faux News like ad-hominem reasoning to convince all but fellow cult members. It is a false dichotomy, based on a false premise leading to a false assumption with no context as applied to actually qualities of being a president. Unless the most familiar with the corrupt machinery of the power structure are believed to be your best rulers. Don’t nail too many of those planks together for your perch!

SPINNING RATIONALIZATIONS

It is a phenomenon all in itself, to hear the Hillary Clinton advocates come up with the new reasons why she is the best person to win in November.

It is as if north is now the new south, and up is really upside down. She (Clinton) apparently does not agree with what she once agreed with. I guess that is that much maligned past, that so many of us are stuck in when it comes to someones word.

The delegate system is now elitist, and only popular vote is true–for primaries, whatever system she happens to be ahead in. How convenient.

I think we as a nation have been there too long and done that too well. If I say it is time for a change, I am sure change will be appropriated by the Clinton’s, wait, I think that is already the case.

Will this Juggernaut of convoluted confusion leave us with a presidential candidate that stands for both everything and nothing at the same time?

For a while at least.

No! Don’t look up!

HILLARY CLINTON–divisive, non passive aggressive

Hillary Clinton’s referencing to assassination into this campaign season speaks volumes to her mental state.

You have time to catch Keith Olbermann’s special comment on her in a few minutes out west. I will soon hear his words myself.  (MSNBC–Direct TV-356)

She may have just done her campaign in.

THIS VIDEO IS WELL DONE

It is a noteworthy take on the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama competition.

ELECTION REJECTION

OR WHICH WAY TO OZ?

Today we will see again if one of the two Bush lite candidates “survive” to later on, pretty much keep things spiraling downward the way they are. Doesn’t really matter where they have been or who they are, were, or promise to be.

The pundits will probably go on to wonder which one will be the chosen one in the one party still running, despite the suspicion that one already crossed the line long ago. For there is believed to be a wizard behind the super delegate veil. It is the pubic who continues the race by the will of appearances. Believing in the convoluted reasoning, pandering to identity, and all the fear and loathing that can be generated to keep those minds a changing like wind vanes, will keep the imperfect storm a-spinning.

The ambiguity is not in the candidates, but in a public who still shows all evidence of Rovian double-think; where the best case of persuasion into the negative, blows those middle of the roader’s to one side or another, no matter how true or false the negative assumption. “We were avoiding a twister! At least it seemed like one at the time. Didn’t they say a storm was coming right at me?“

Once we come to see a winner as one who will do anything to succeed at even delusion, we are right back to where we are. Unable to tell delusion from viable vision. We have crossed that yellow line, without knowing which way the traffic of the world actually is going. Our political Doppler radar is off-line.

And that is the risky self defeating place many interest wish us to stay. For later, when the damage begins to show, it is too late to have the excuse that the road signs were so misleading.

Votes for sale! Come and get it! Save a few nickles on me! Extra bonus, free gas for voting for me! Voters for sale here! In a heartbeat those nickles will be swooped up by the oil vultures. Tax breaks become profit vacuums that then are swooped up by the few who actually control where your money goes and to whom. It is supply and demand; your supply of income increases so the demand for more profit does the same. Duh!

POLITICAL WORD GAMES

It can be fun to make a point at the expense of context or reasons of false premise. I can remove someones notion, put a new conception around it, then show it as a contradiction. Time, space, intention, and ignorance can allow facts to be rendered misleading enough, that they can appear to be lies, when in fact they are grounded in history and not necessarily the manufactured opinion “reality” of word-play. Yes we can make deceptions seem evident where they had never existed!

Our government for several years now seems to have operated on the above mentioned logical deceptions. Political campaigns are now assumed to be made up of these, even to the degree that those who do not use false analogy or out of context reconfigured facts are thought of as being weak. The conflict game does not care if the debates are on steroids, or changing rules for themselves mid game and not the others in the campaign. Is the art of deception really what we wish to see running the country to ruin for 4 or 8 more years?

It may be too late to get the candidates who really should be president, but now we must make do with what we have. Anyone can protest and go against the two party monopoly, if that is the wisest thing to do will be up to each voter.

My view is that we have two super flip-flopper’s at the moment, and another one showing more mild political expediencies as his modus operandi.  He is the first black candidate (Discounting Bill Clinton).  It has been a rude awakening for many Democrats to see how Rove-like the first woman candidate seems to be.  It is a shame that some feminist and workers are voting for manipulations seeming to be seen as strengths.  Is it some shoot yourself in the foot loyalty that locks them into fantasy land despite the evidence?

We see in the degree of applied manipulations, how, if any different that “change” people claim to be for will be.  Hopefully America is sick and tired of the plunder of the party of money, and its wedge issue shell game diversions.

But will there be a party of the vast majority of the people?  Not if corporate control of culture has anything to say about its continuing to undermining elections.  How?  A crippled fourth estate, a one way street of pubic propaganda access, votes not even sure of being counted etc…  Bush, Cheney and Rove might seem to be gone, but who they serve above all the rest of us, are still in control.  Smoke, mirrors and diversions, can keep one from seeing the operational realities on the ground.  They will be the subjects of word play.

IT’S A BLACK, A WHITE OR A WOMAN THING

Polling has indicated that many will vote their color or sex in the coming elections. This means division and even tribalism is on the ascendant.

As is often said; make no mistake about it, in an allegedly two party system, this likely bodes ill for one party.

If you read my post regularly, you know I find the two party system deeply flawed, as I do see plurality victories as the same. It is a guaranteed way to not get things done. Many claim they are for change, after seeing the contempt evident by conservatives for the state and common citizen relationship. Liberalism was coming on strong. Liberalism happens to be the container of majorities of the operational values held by most of us in everyday life. Status quo power must confuse and diffuse this reality, and has the resources to do just that most of the time, unless conditions overwhelm manipulated impressions.

One party was and presumably still is trying to manufacture a one party state here in effect. Corporate controlling influence on both parties is strong, and proceeding to create a de facto one way state. In the Democratic party, it is engaged in a fight over the “soul” of the party. Our system of access to voters is subject to monies influence, and so, biased against those without much money to influence elections, an obvious statement. Ask yourself why both parties hardly ever bring it up?

If you vote for your candidate because they are more like you on superficiality of color, ethnic or sexual type, you are also helping to divide a pluralist nation further from a cohesive and comprehensive self identity and purpose, along with likely having less interest in what happens to the “other guys”. We wonder why we cannot agree on things, and that the bad government is always stalemated except when fears are pushed to extremes.

THE DUCKS THAT CANNOT DUCK

We are in a shooting gallery of a sorts. The Media is compromised by corporate ideological bias. A pseudo-democracy exist here without the right to vote. Voters information is partially at the mercy of campaign financing incongruities. A machinery of mud slinging is entrenched, with an arsenal of fear that is kept well oiled to keep the average citizen from knowing much about our governments actual behaviors in the world and its collusion with special interest here.

And we are going to vote for the woman cause she is a woman like me, or the white guy because at least he is a white guy, or the black guy because only he can understand what it is like to be me. But what can you do for your country?

I do not deny the appeal to anyone’s own identity of the illusion, yes illusion, that if someone is more like me things will go more my way. This is exactly what the two party system has degenerated into; the manipulation of self identity interest for control. Then, often, the selling of that interest to our representatives own self interest as individuals to benefit themselves off of the nations interest.

You do not have a right to vote. You do not have a right to have a vote counted if you do vote. You do not have fair access to differing viewpoints and perspectives on all issues. You have no real mechanism for making sure all your representatives in government are held accountable for what is done in your name.

You live on a one way street where companies get to cover their expense increases or desires for more profit by upping prices. Oops! We left workers and most everyone else out of that formula. Wonder how that happened? You now live in a place where “We the People” are the subjects of wealth as it takes over the earth via transnational corporate hegemony. And yet for many of us, a wedge issue will have us cast our relativized vote for some foolish notion of a sure thing. “Down with Taxes”, or tricks like a “Death Tax”, are some of the best methods of getting that tax money for the common good out of your pocket, and now quite possibly, into the pocket of someone else across the globe…And you thought you were going to be the beneficiary recipient?  Come on.

DECEPTION JOB WELL DONE! I’D SAY!

So go ahead, certain woman, men, blacks, whites and others, vote for your kind.

Just do not expect any kindness to actually manifest to you, but a few words.

It is necessary to vote for who and what is right for the whole nation. You must determine what that is for yourself. The commercials will be pretty well conceived, but quite possibly, pretty misleading.

When will we be weaned from our pacifiers?

AMAZING JOHN McCAIN

JOHN McCAIN is perceived as the most trustworthy candidate, a little ahead of Barack Obama in a new poll. Barack Obama lead on most other so called presidential attributes related to the public perception.

I am a bit surprised by Mc Cain seeming most trustworthy, but we have not had him held p to the exposure of the other two. It is amazing how little we actually know about—–John McCain, who seems to change position’s on issues like one would change sheets.

I suppose you could trust that.

Holy Cow.

CAMPAIGN OF THE UNDEAD

Today, what many were wondering came out into the open; is Hillary Clinton trying to position herself for a run in 4 years?

One need comprehend the metrics of this. Desiring to help defeat someone in your own party so you can have your destiny moment of fate as president. The delusion would be astounding except one must remember, this is the USA and we can swallow anything and apparently hold it down.

Meanwhile, the Republican candidate seems to believe he has a date with destiny himself, and hardly need answer any question about his behavior or lack of it except for a few platitudes. The incredible levels of incompetence we have grown to expect from the big and bigger government conservatives, continues to promise multigenerational debts to be paid. Will we have to physically bow to our Chinese rulers?

Bushes Rovian mind blank is alive and well apparently in the Clinton camp. From nearly race baiting down talking, by Bill, to change the rules I promised to earlier, Hillary, I believe that branch of the Democrat party loyal to duplicity is about to be body snatched into the New Republicans. Able to leap over any tall facts with a bound of faith in cognitive dissonance, and a nickels worth of reason.

Interesting how the shoot out at the not OK campaign, has morphed into 2004 revisited, with Hillary ever similar to George B, and Barack O, to John K. Just like King George. Queen Hillary seems to think she has a divine right to be right, even when wrong. If you can’t take the half baked lies and distortions buddy, get out of deceptions kitchen. Yeah. That’s the ticket!

Yeah. The coming election looks like its stacking up to be one heck of a fear fest. That 30 % of the public who never seems to quite know who anyone really is, or their philosophy, or their actual personality characteristics, will, oh, make up their mind in the voting booth.

That, however, may prove irrelevant, since if there is no paper trail as attempted to be instituted by the conservatives, whom actually wins might never be known. But someone could well be elected again where all the discrepancy’s only benefit in one party’s direction. The one who has the voting machine manufactures loyalty and the code to change reality.

Remember, as one party’s spokesman said to an investigative reporter; as I paraphrase, ‘Reality is for you guys, we manufacture history. You follow.’ Now that is a good disguise for totalitarian takeover. But that 30 or so percent of the uniformed will not care. They will vote on appearances, and as we know, they are always the way to run a country. I mean, always right.

SILENCE OF THE SCAMS

On Keith Olbermann’s MSNBC news and views show, he goes over the top 50 Bush scandals on occasion, to remind viewers of how they vanished from the news. I think the segment is called “Bushed”.

That is not exactly what I am talking about here. I am referring to our collective lack of perspective presented by the corporate news infotainment shows.

I remember many years back. One network’s expose’ news show was all about corporate and business abuse, misuse and scams. I’m sure this show drew some fire from powerful people. But after that network itself was found to be behind the corporate maneuvered takeover and consolidation lobbying efforts over the public airwaves, the show seemed to shortly vanish. Probably caught in the pot calling the kettle black hypocrisy thingy.

Those of you under forty might never have known how news networks once were. Bill Moyers PBS, is perhaps the closest representation of fact digging into corruption. Investigatory journalism was once a reality. Now it is pretty much considered a liberal bias to be avoided like the plague. Just as Richard Nixon would be considered quite the liberal by today’s standards, the conceptual paradigm in journalism has shifted far into existential relativism, were everyone’s view is just as good as anyone else’s, letting power and money buy much more time and perspective, just keep the contextual setting of facts out of the program overall. Well this has allowed truth itself to become a subject of conservative scorn and obfuscation. We the People, have in some respects, had the dunce cap put on our heads.

THE HEADS ON TALKING HEADS

The current senior crop of retiring news anchors are mere shadows of what came before, yet they are treated as if they were the nations wise elders. Certainly ego is always a factor in seeking out the limelight, but back in my childhood, news anchors seemed to be filled with and about the facts first, now they seem filled with themselves and what position’s them best in gaining market share. They retain a bit of the postured presentation of seemingly objective appearance, a style thing, but even that has followed the trend to excite the viewers, more so over celebrity dysfunctions, than endemic societal ones. Unfortunately, what one has not experienced, one tends not to miss.

The three still standing presidential contenders seem to grow silent over electioneering unless they have a particular problem raising funds, or it dawns on them that an extraordinary bias is afoot. Like biased news in relativity land pretending to be objective, a system where elections are dependent of raising big money, equals one systematically drowning out the voices of the poor and cash strapped. This undermines true democracy but is sold as some sort of Darwinian proving grounds of electability, nevertheless, those who can hardly donate are turned into Americans with out a say in who ends up finishing first.  Comes the Internet savior?  Nope.  Still not fair.  If the game is not fair, it is rigged.

QUITE! QUITE PLEASE!

This is where we enter the silence zone; where our fellow Americans have their voting rights tied with their hands behind their backs, and the rag of relativity stuffed into their mouths. Freedom and democracy? Shell game tricks played in the playground of abstractions. Why do our top three never mention truth, facts, ideas and accessibility to them? Those are fundamental nutrients for a healthy democracy and public voice.  We then can be had again.  Surprise!-NOT!

As long as we remain a society where truthful investigation is only occurring of the fringes, and the mainstream middle, while we are watching the side show inside, never hears the fog horn, and neither do we. The ship of state is evermore near the rocks, the gamblers inside, they will never know what hit them.

Unfortunately, they, may well be we.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PENNSYLVANIA?

WHAT IS WRONG?

As the election campaign has played out, it has come to seem more like there are two Republicans running against one Democrat. To harsh?

But I have to wonder where Pennsylvania has been, or is going? Some say they are kinda older there, so they go towards that standard generational bias; age equals wisdom, or if not that, at least someone who has lived more like me.

Then there is that degenerative disease called conservatism, where hope, ambition, the belief that we can solve problems together because the alternative is unacceptable, atrophies into how I survive, my personal goals getting insured, my aches and pains, and being subject to anything that can be milked to produce fear. It is that last one, that the two more status quo candidates build their basic premise around.

Now I am just speculating here, since I am far from the Eastern US, or anything like a failed industrial stronghold. I have not heard of why the Clinton’s, who so served transnational corporate fortunes with the “free trade” NAFTA, are now the for the worker “ticket”. Maybe he can be her vice president?

I live at our southern border. There is no “free trade” for the average individual. And how did Bill become such a big whiner? Almost sounds like Pat Buchanan.

Hillary Clinton cherry picks her experiences with Bill Clinton, the good stuff somehow of her doing, and the bad stuff somehow experience that makes her tougher. If you listen to the candidates, all three of them, one has the energy of doing, the other two of lecturing on why you have to vote for them, as they dish out the fear cards across the table, and of course promises, promises. Yeah, all candidates have to promise to do something.

If one is for change for the better, instead of this continual diminishing of individual rights, and a world wide industrial/material suicide pact, with its caressing of militarism and cultural confrontations, that reeks of maintaining an ever-growing anti-American worldwide future, I wonder why apparently many in Pennsylvania are under the grip of a rusting sinking ship of state?  Some say it is some party loyalty-machinery thing.  If so, we sure need more of that.  That has worked out quite well over 7 years.

I do not know about Pennsylvania, and though I am closer to the age of the two more conservative candidates, to trust the stranglehold of the status quo, is to have faith in maintaining, in growing your own despair, waiting to be jerked awake next election with a big; BOOOOOH! The sky is falling! Parachutes for sale!

But maybe some of those people in Pennsylvania all have stocks in oil companies and the defense industry, and wish not to risk a thing for the health and well-being of the rest of us?  I just do not know their story.

Pennsylvania.  Where have you been?  What are your secrets?

DEBATE OF SHAME

Well.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton had a kind of debate last night. Mostly it was a tabloid like emotional based list of questions meant to have an effect on idiots.

I must say both candidates at times went beyond the Republican like talking points and went into a bit of their actual philosophy and poise under pressure of a sorts.

But my overall impression is that corporations, for reasons well founded or not, treat the public as fools who do not know their right foot from their left. Nuance was to be an obvious no, no, as at times questions insulting to any thinking person, were hammered at over and over as if that were journalistic hard ball.

I would say Obama came out better as a leader and not a whiner.

The real shame was that of a media that believes, apparently, that mistakes, up for various interpretation remarks, and who will avoid answering ad hominem loaded innuendo formed into questions, is what decides who was most fit to be president.

If the American public’s deciding group of voters makes their choice by what the adds and innuendo from mud slinging and fear mongering focus group attacks leave them feeling better or worse about someone; heaven help us! We are going on 8 years and a lot of cheating the vote down that costly toll road.

And who will fill all those growing potholes?

POLITICAL DECEPTION AND SOCIETAL CONTROL

The desperate offenses are in operation.

It seems ever more apparent that Hillary Clinton and John McCain are the two candidates of status quo permanency. Sure, oligarchies prefer the easily manipulated ones to the right, it is their bread and butter, but the moderate types of leaders are bought off fairly easily themselves.

It is astounding to compare the intellectual and emotional maturity of most liberals over conservatives.  (Did you watch the debates? Fear and taxes, vs intelligent strategies to work on our problems, exceptions noted.) It is not a condition of elitist intellectual left wing brain washing, that the more education one has, the more liberal one tends to be. It is more likely the philosophical and cosmological perspective that human beings are often more nuanced and complicated than simple jingoistic or buzz word slogans, and life is made up of all of us like it or not.

An incredible attempt has been executed to bias open-mindedness and attention to all details of life as liberal bias, and conservo-corporate market theocracy as the simple truth that has been denied to you.  Simple circular reasoning now makes it easy to have irrefutable positions on complex issues, because critical thought and questioning is not allowed inwards!

Checking oneself before throwing the first stone, or the Golden Rule, requires introspection and reality checking, things the current trend in conservatism seems to despise on the local and world scene. Tax and spend, pro-life, family values, a manufactured culture wars loaded with a “good” based arsenal, acts as a simple cult like circular reasoning cut off assumptions, a firewall to much more profound or in depth attempts at understanding. This results in a problematic dysfunctional state of affairs continuing its deceptive service to provide control issues by force to society, and blind many to wedge issue salt thrown into the eyes of reason.

What is there to understand when it is us against them?

Both parties representatives of economic domination, and more practical affluent elites, have to settle for what they are left with this campaign season. Barack Obama has his relative unknowns, but it now seems he is the most centered candidate on changing the relationships in the nation for the better and not the same old sinking American ship dream=crumbling infrastructures, outsourcing of jobs, downsizing of ambitions to servitude positions, money going to war mongering profiteers with its least return on the dollar, not to mention, magnification of outer hostility towards the US.

Anything Obama now says that can seem to suggest a view of us and them from his perspective, is cut up and diced until it has the sour flavor societies elites hope it will leave in public perception. We are back to the usual strategies of fears and unknowns being the guides to decision making, no mater how truthful or backed up by any facts the perceptions are. Ad hominem suggestions running round the right wing echo chamber, take on the illusory appearance of conventional or consensus wisdom.

RELATIVE DEMOCRACY UNDER FIRE

Normally the right of center interest control enough of the information sources to place conservatism as the “sensible” way out of your fears of their self perpetuating dysfunctions. Two counter trends have impacted that perception; the contempt for the common woman-man endemic to the top designers of the right has been exposed somewhat. Despite attempts to blur or bury the fact that the poor and residual middle class actually take care of and make most of the country, and defend it. Hiding returning caskets, and keeping most Americans actual economic worries off the media radar most of the time, still the perception of one party more for the rich and privileged than the other has come through.

Overt attempts to bury democracy by denying voters abilities to vote and eliminating ballot trails, allowing for a fake democracy to seem real, remains not addressed by main media sources, again, most of the time. The Internet has cracked that barrier a bit, so it will have to be reigned in sooner or late by oligarchical power sources. Best current vehicles expected to crash the WWW. barrier will be sex exploitation from some angle, or terror threats as excuse to stifle dissenting opinions or personalities.

Will the city of freedoms ring become its undoing?

If what is so far alleged as a liberal Main Stream Media becomes a truth, the stranglehold around freedom will continue to stifle the bells call to responsibility and self determination. Instead, true, everyone does better under Democrats; from rich to poor, but the machinery of societal hierarchical permanence continues unabated under their reign. The poor being the expendable and downcast sacrificial lambs over any of the wealthiest concerns.

This happens while an echo chamber has been constructed in the nation media to perceive the poor as being deserving of their conditions from some called religious leaders, to those who breed contempt for the poor as a Darwinian like imperative. Out of sight and of mind is the reality that, under the socialism for the rich system we now have, the poor are needed to do the dirty work and receive blame for the nations ills they are placed so near to.

With certain candidates of profound change for the betterment of our nation gone, it seems Barack Obama is perhaps not the best hope, but likely the last. He is also going to be the recipient of overwhelming deceptive tactics, and the legions of hired sycophants who do well off the service and toil of hard working Americans, military and civilian alike. There are always the Benedict Arnold’s who will position themselves as the voices of sanity, reason, but hidden antidemocratic agenda’s, that is the nature of the infection democracy has. Once the individuals identity interest are pivoted to fear, any ideology of release or escape to “our” tribes ways seems appealing.

Politics, as convoluted as they are, remain attempts to define individual identities by appealing to apparent need and desires. When the desires are made to be as certain as black or white by fear, us and them, the hope is that you or I will have an easy decision to make. But one needs to think twice about alleged clarity’s of definition.

Where will us against them actually lead me? What is the greater good and greater interest? How can my interest at home actually be cut off from that of the entire planets? Can I then contain compromise, ambiguity, empathy, compassion, non-final answers, as stepping stones toward that greater good?

DEMOCRACY NEEDS A VACCINATION, NOT A VACATION

If democracy and its implied collective individual leadership of nations is to survive, it must defeat the disease it has acquired by the same power interest that always attempt to act as gods above the common people who vote, or slave. We need to perceive their abilities to manipulate society and counteract them with assertions of the rights of all individuals to have a say on all aspects of life. This implies a mandate to fair and transparent elections. It implies a mandate to provide the individual with all sides of issues and questions of state. It mandates a clarity to freedom and responsibility, now inhibited by the elites who control access to the above assertions.

Democracy is the antithesis of the emergent transnational corporate hegemony. Darwinian social predations is not served by populations informed and held accountable to the worlds state of affairs. In this deceptive climate change, who will it be that continues to act as the caged monkeys to the master race?

THE THREE WHAT?

I just had to send this one on.

This guy has been busy.

These three remind me of someones, I just can’t quite place who they are.
