RETURNING TO ROOTS

Jogging freely through the forest shaped me,

the protruding tongue of my Irish Setter helped determine who I’ve become

I find again towering in its expansive abundance

what we’re no longer allowed to even dare dream high on remote Mountain tops,

which has no knowledge of your existence.

 

Isn’t it strange that like a picture negative

I exist a delusional projection of you,

it is you, who I know so well and doubt so completely,

oh thoroughly overrated oppressors.

Even when my dog rolls in a rotting corpse

 

and reeks vilely enough to make one wretch,

or, when we encounter a deer or elk

rain pocked and sun bleached bone

we curiously examine its skeletal remains

with a leap over its corpse we pass on.

 

I’m one with the woods and highlands, which knows nothing of theology

our contemporary mythology,

with the mountains being proud of their perpendicular perspective,

with their propensity for obtuse abstraction –

its oblivious of indigenous Gods, or stylish new absolutist faiths fanatic

from past centuries;

and, the weary rhythms of the old worn prejudices and persecutions.

 

I bathe myself in cold springs in mountains meadows whose history is yet to be written,

and enjoy the wild flowers cavorting on all sides, its rugged strength that knows such joys

and has prodigious profusions of varied vegetation each species studied

and labeled in Latin,

pinioned in miniature on the bone white parchment that stems from trees:

they know what it is to struggle to survive, and resist the evil always present in the World

 

with their natural wholesome discipline, and barbaric strength, and inherent intellect.

They exist in harmony with the rhythm of the seasons their thick bark

and labyrinthine intersecting branches

tower magnificently in a living symbiotic whole each tree an individual entity

a unique living splendid as beautiful revealing in the miracle of its existence

that grows out of its own humus, a climactic ecological system crowning creation.

 

I exalt with the exigencies of a land which is indifferent to the fate of one

and defends its independence from the mediocre mundane landscape below

manufactured in the lowlands to meet the exclusive temporary needs

of one specific specie,

fertilized by the blood of the innocent haunted by their memories.

Nature exploited and exhausted by a consumer conscious frenzy, which has knowledge,

but, is devoid of wisdom; and, a collective conscious overwhelmed

with conspicuous consumption

that exploits by a technology that ravages rather than harmoniously develops resources

only to repent in clear cut scarred no man’s lands while starting to heal in Winter

what in Spring, Summer and Fall all saw violated.

 

I continue under the Sun, which merges its beneficent rays with the balm of wet weather

that serves to heal the torn vegetation that stretches serpentine away in profusions

of weeping trees that are disfigured by its wounds covered with a film of water,

the forest generates excess of colors, the wind inundated with rain

creates a deafening din of sound with giant gusts that shake the trees;

 

and, rockets up to the skies apex, where it seizes the sun’s rays in a great gray net

a primordial elemental being utterly alive. The clouds aren’t a cause

for profound depression,

but are joyful friends from another culture with varying ways and corresponding needs,

which are illuminating for those insightful enough to understand;

and, the Winter long rains are interspersed by sudden brilliant celebrations

of light and life, Sun and cloud.

 

Voluntarily attended and participated, by those predisposed to enjoy

good company and pleasures, and that of others, too.

Where trees lay fallen the posture of a dead corpse

in the slippery fecund mud laced with soft singing rivulets

and the stone bed streams heard unseen in the distance

 

is alive with water and intense bright light and color,

its animals and birds erupt into countless celebrations

under heavens scrubbed clean and glistening

resounding with the glorious Sun

gracing the Earth with its long cathedral rays.

 

 

 

THE HEART’S WORMHOLE

Look into yourself and see the waxing moon

gazing down into the deep pools of frost powdered landscapes

shimmering with silver moonbeams that penetrate

the silent tenebrous depths.

 

Do you see someone wondering alone

in and out of the mysterious shadows;

you’ll find paths and grottoes, with eyes and ears,

it’s the way from me to you, a portal you can walk through, in time.

 

See, centuries fall from eternity, you too can learn to fly,

to travel all the way from you to me;

who waits, while wondering at the map of features

that spreads swirling out around us.

 

It is filled with soporific features; parks, bridges, streets and buildings

there is a continent with mountains, valleys, and plains between us;

what do these things matter, when you are here with me

they all vanish, when you start to realize the perspicuity of your heart!

 

 

 

FADE

I fade from life,

my body fills with fog;

it seems remote,

as a nocturnal shadow

strolling across midnight.

 

I maintain my solitary state

among the dismembered years

that fall from me, and in my arms

are all my hopes,

as insubstantial as this sea of shadows

 

I totter with unsteady steps,

leaving a trail of spent emotions,

with each aching breath of past joys

the full moon shines luminous,

its radiant beauty replaces the strength draining dark

that stains you with a midnight black and blue.

 

The nay sayers of life, to cover their own abnegation,

cloak the little that’s left to me,

in one long sigh of pain

that penetrates your sad innocence

and startles you with a soaring spark

that briefly illuminates the splendors of the night

that unfortunately are remote and unattainable

because of the inanities of paranoid fools.

 

 

DOVE

Out of the black oblivion

comes the white tiled room

and a concerned friendly face.

Then, another wave of black oblivion

capsizing and engulfing consciousness.

 

Rising once more out of darkness,

this is the Earth, with its trees.

This is the Earth, home of man,

its their hive that hums,

like a meadow in the Summer Sun.

 

Come closer errant messengers.

How I adore my life among the beautiful clouds,

strange birds metamorphosis

black swans, golden eagles and larks.

 

Fallen angels

end all my love:

a dead dove.

 

 

 

MILKY-WAY

Once, while camping way up North by Barkerville in the Northwest Canadian Territories,

I stepped outside and looked up at the resplendent night sky, it was a revelation.

The Milky-Way winding through fecund space, what are you doing,

peopled by such luminaries as Don Quixote, whose steed Rocinnante,

is pointed toward eternity, stirring their cosmic dust diffuse with dawn?

They wander with their accoutrements, a bottle in their pocket and a pipe in hand.

Each ethereal creation living in harmony with its own unique nature.

 

Milky-Way what are you doing diminished in the suburban skies,

with your tenement condos generations owned that the years come to peer inquisitively at

so remote from enlightenment and nebulous clouds eclipsing

cores littered with black holes of oppression that impair peoples’ ability to light up and fly freely, and the ignorant ask if those are really creatures walking around real roads,

and if those are really burning balls of gas and planets?

And, in general talked spacious non-sense into the silence.

 

Near the river a labor with a blower clearing the pedestrian path of scudding dead leaves

makes a bank on the bank for the hubris remains a verge carpeted with fall colored leaves

beside dull buildings whose immense rectangular shapes loom dark against the expansive

sky.

His sweeping gestures accentuated by a din embedded in a huge towering silence

a distinctive clamor other lost petty souls secretly would like to emulate.

The dog who warily crosses the road on a leash is out walking its human.

His healthy well fed fur sparks with lightening stolen from the soft billowing clouds,

but his innocent expression remains ingenuous.

Light oscillates between extremes, the boulevard spreads spacious as the crab nebula

scurrying after Cygnus and Betelgeuse; I refuse to feel anxious about my individuality,

as I pause to listen tilting my head, as horrible hurtling worlds collide

with the battling vertiginous intersections, to the jostling through a crack in the tarmac.

I see a star seed caught in the web of its own deceit driven violence

unseizeable and unsubstantial as air falling away in a raging cataract

on each side each side exactly the same.

 

Hidden down dark corridors of night

observing the clamorous activity characteristic of the hive

I’m enjoying transforming aversive spite and malicious vice into opportunities

to prove myself and reaffirming my voluntary exile,

its precisely here that I’ve come putting on a face to meet the Munch and Ensore crowd.

Around me I see the obviously degenerative age, in an advanced state of decrepitude;

and yet, it seems to be the first day of the universe,

and the dawn of time when man began.

 

So many worn and weary things stare transfixed within themselves

surrounded by such exuberant varied tongues all speaking at once with no one listening.

With a start, the heavy clump that my cane makes resounding on the floor,

I instantly recognize as mine. It departs receding into the distance

separated from me assuming an existence of its own.

Do I exist anymore?!?

It wanders off alone to explore the depths of the ocean floor, where the other claws scurry

If I cry out no one hears, for it’s lost in the earth’s anguished cry.

 

Intently scrutinizing the varied sphere man’s greed daily reduces to a dull homogeneity

time measured distances based on a miraculous infinite sphere;

where massive mountains rest arrestingly, with their heads in the cloud obscured eternity;

and, rivers wash their broad backed ridges dressed in shimmering green forests,

long rays of flickering sunlight penetrating deep cool pools of shade,

where the past merge with the present and the future finishes its gestation,

as we wait our turn clinging to Titian’s wheel.

 

I stand alone in my pillbox skull,

perched between two infinities on a third infinite point – now:

the immense weight of the night’s darkness crushing me,

the whiteness of my bones luminous as the moon;

but, my mind magically transports me, from my portal eyes, anywhere in an instant;

as an endless crowd of ideas surges by, merging with lyrical images,

in a swift flowing strong current, where each constantly jostles clamoring for attention;

one scarcely finishes before the next one commences,

attractive as youth and pregnant with an infinity of possibility.

 

Returning home, I see my wife’s form forming into the shape of my house.

My father’s picture and my two son’s leap out of their frames

and fills the otherwise quiet comfortable room inhabited with congenial furniture,

who’ve acquired memories that they spew out and which spreads about.

Outside, I look up at the ancient clock,

consisting of a few, faint, trembling stars and a pale, bone-white, scar-faced moon,

carefully carved into the night’s vast black abyss,

the sky, a script that a savant, like Theseus, will someday translate.

 

In a moment of mental singularity, he will understand

the meaning of everything; but, the great erudition required for its comprehension

makes its communication, even for the most sagacious, utterly impossible.

And so, my fingers weave to and fro, in and out of time’s web,

bobbing through the fragile threads of life’s tapestry, along with my friends from previous past ages.. And, so, the aching pure white parchment is stained with black ink,

as it adds its modest contribution to the travail and trust of civilization.

Beneath the sorrowful Autumn sky echoes my cry mounting high of joy, love and pain.

 

 

 

EVENING ESCORTS

When evening has finished escorting most folks home,

and the inquisitive shadows stop morning dead day’s

red flowing sunset and diffusely disappears,

as Night spreads pitch black its distant mysterious beauty.

 

Somewhere nearby, on the hillside’s sylvan slopes, a car coughs; otherwise wind covers

the faint late night city noise, while in the wind creaking woods I climb the closed gate.

At the crest of the partially naked knoll a smoking sculpture,

I huddle in the sheltering shadow of a cylindrical water tower.

 

Silently, across the shivering star studded sky

between midnight’s barrow and dawn’s first light,

grief condenses from the infinite depths of space,

and an old newspaper blows past never to lie again.

 

From the deepest recesses of Heaven’s heart

come spirits of other remote Worlds

completely unique and utterly different from our own,

high above the cold naked hilltop, the light cups in my hands distorting my chiaroscuro

face;

and, where I’ve come to commune with on high, in a ritual as old as time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

PAST

Wearily the horse pulled its passenger back toward the stand,

through the diaphanous silence in the park,

where joyful clamoring colors herald fall,

past the occasional solitary tree that signified its hill like an obelisk.

 

The setting sun’s heat had dispersed,

its intense light no longer lay heavily on the landscape,

it had become diffuse; and, everything beamed mellower,

people with their lengthening shadows looked tilted, swollen, and ponderous.

 

The horse seemed to hesitate, it turned its head

as if listening to the deepening shadows.

A window looked like a looking glass whose picture

flashed blindingly and became frozen as if immobilized forever in its eye.

 

The wind whispered in the fall foliage

a memory it held these thousand years

carried half-way around the world

of another equestrian which was free.

 

And, at this very instant,

while trotting toward the shelter of an autumn colored copse

an evening evoked feeling

that the other horse had briefly held.

 

No other animal will ever experience it again

man, fish, bird or quadruped,

‘till the earth becomes a soft

as the rocks, whose hardness was lost with the setting sun.

 

 

 

 

 

LISTEN, LOVE

Listen, love can you hear me?

Standing on the seawall

staring into the distance,

a simple popular love song drones dully on,

but by its end I’m mercifully oblivious

floating surrounded by the iridescent stars

shining down trembling from the night sky

mirrored in the indigo waters dark throbbing depths,

like your love throbs in my heart;

behind slumbers the indifferent blind black buildings,

where neon lights reflect from sick shining sightless eyes,

as they lie scattered across the mysterious, mist, shrouded valley floor

before featly climbing the dark sylvan hillsides cloaked in Serrate speckles of color.

My despair enlays the night.

Facing me like brutal pain, like cruel compulsion

is the beautiful image of your face

sweetly calling from even the distant huge harvest moon;

which slowly climbs above the luminous lopsided mountain

that hovers a pale apparition, a floating sentinel

above the somnolent city mantled in dark brooding silence below....

 

 

 

 

 

CIRCE

Listen! Do you hear? Its me, Circe

who sweeps with light raindrops

the sibilant black diamond panes of our windows

reflective radiant luster of Madame moon;

 

and, here in a lambs wool sweater, is the lady of the house

who mediates, in her room with a view ;

on the beautiful stormy night clouds scudding across

the star studded sky and sonorous slumbering valley,

 

Each mist filled hollow is your Circe

nestled in the soft curvaceous earth,

each gentle undulation carries you closer earth, wind, and fire

in the sumptuous folds of the earth’s flesh.

 

Listen! Do you hear? Our father strike with lightening,

the grumbling clouds with silver outlined features;

and, the continent topographically formed of quintessential clouds,

and my sisters cool caresses, islands of land the hilltops protrude

 

through the white sea of malleable mists

and of raindrop bejeweled flowers

some drooping while others danced

away from your gloved hands wielding sharp shears.

 

Her song a morning refrain finished,

she slips our family ring, a sapphire set in gold accentuated with diamonds

back on my finger, to be Circe’s large husband and spend each day

dwelling in Aeaea, with her floating among the islands, home of degenerate animals.

 

And, when I told her that my heart belonged to a mortal

she slips a shower of tears, burst into a squall of laughter,

and vanished in a sudden splash that flooded the dark pane; and, streaming away white

down the length of blue mirror, revealing your beautiful reflection.

 

 

 

 

The following essays and treatises are the express opinions of the editor of Mockingbird.

 

RUMOR MILL

 

The Social, Political, and Economic Consequences of Contemporary Faction

 

In the first few treatises, this general proposition has been submitted; that any ignorant, bungling, incompetent person, motivated by greed and favored by fortune, who accepts the necessary financial backing of private sources of extraordinary concentrations of wealth, and who succumbs to corruption, can govern by this infamous factional method; and, having satisfied their personal avarice and perverted ambition for superficial prestige, has an opportunity to plunder the public with impunity, by destroying the structural integrity of the country’s democratic institutions and procedures; and, in the process damaging the just basis of the country’s laws, by undermining the Civil Liberties of its citizen’s. Further, it was firmly established in those treatises that not everyone is equally qualified, by inherent character flaws and exposure to situations that were morally degenerative, to rule their country by divisive means, splintering social groups, and conditioning society to be oppressed through the nefarious efforts of a network of subordinate tyrants; because, some rudimentary animalistic cunning, tempered by malfeasant experiences, which culminate in their possessing a propensity for deceit, and unquestioning loyalty to faction, and no moral-ethical restraints to prevent them from engaging in immoral-criminal behavior coupled to basic organizational skills, which are necessary to form, develop and conduct a fraudulent system. At this point every reader is encouraged to peruse the previous essays and verify the two primary operating propositions presented, the first with previous essays and information available in the propaganda machine, personal experience, and reason. It is the objective of this treatise to confirm the truth of the second contention.

Its perfectly obvious that the design behind the administrative measures taken during Republican President Ronald Reagan’s two terms in office were beyond his modest scope; but, more important, they initially were not deeply felt, by the factional interests pulling his strings, which was fortunate, because they were based on bad principles of factional government, and what was worse directed toward disastrous ends. He desired to be popular, and strove to make the nation prosperous; but, he strove to attain these two goals by means that were inconsistent with good government, which caused the second largest economic crash in the 20^th century, and converted his advisors into born again Keynesians economists during the duration of his presidency; and, during his first term under the stewardship of Sec. of State George Schultz, with conducting foreign policy consistent with legitimate objectives advantageous to the US; and, domestically keeping a tokenistic public regard for secure Civil Rights and Liberty of US citizens, while privately summarily disregarding them when the radical right faction flooded the country with crack to establish independent funding for operations like the Iran-Contra scandal and to create an excuse for the oppression that they later embarked on. We’ve observed how intemperate policies were pursued after a pretence toward the propriety of due deliberation was made in Congress, when in fact the decision had already been made by radical right wing factional members not related to either the Republican Party’s Executive Branch, or the Republican Party dominated US Senate, to pursue injudicious policies that never would have been approved by Constitutional authority, and in some instances actions were taken that had been specifically rejected, as in the case of the Iran-Contra scandal. We’ve witnessed the unjust and imprudent behavior of most factional measures and the infamous nature of some of the radical right faction’s extreme schemes, like flooding the country with a crack epidemic to enable their private affiliates to monopolize the international drug trade and establish stable independent funding sources to achieve autonomy for the radical right factional operations at home and abroad, and deliberately under funding aides research which was an attempt by the radical right faction to conduct germ warfare against targeted groups of our country’s citizens, the homosexuals and IV drug users, in a failed strategy that helped cause aides to transfer into the heterosexual general population, whose norms of sexual behavior they were trying to control by enforced abstinence – a policy that they still actively advocate. The consequence of these types of intemperate measures was to divisively polarize the country, between the radical right faction and their fanatical counterparts in the extreme right Christian (so called) Coalition, and the country’s moderate and progressive elements who, either moved into the Democratic Party, or became Independents; after the Republican Party purges transpired subsequent to the right wing rise to ascendancy over that party, when retired actor Ronald Reagan was elected and the most corrupt administration in US history started with a series of provocations. But, consideration has not been given to certain advantages acquired, without which the radical right faction wouldn’t have attracted the excessively large amounts of capital necessary to foment the divisions and perpetuate them at the scale that they were conducted. Now, these advantages initially arose primarily from financial benefits derived from corrupt avaricious policies generated from the industrial-military, which constituted the overwhelmingly largest single factor in the US government’s annual budget. Republican President Ronal Reagan’s masters noticed that the nation was immersed in corruption, in the post Vietnam Cold War Era; and, the packaging of candidates was dominated by money purchased access to the electronic media, which controlled elections without any other factor even coming close, in terms of relative importance. After the radical right faction had purchased the US government with dominant spending ratios and packaged candidates (ever notice how many Republicans are named Smith, to utilize name familiarity to facilitate the packaging of a product) the function of determining policies pursued by the radical right faction driven government evolved outside traditional government into private institutions and academic facilities, which had previously been displaced and distorted to comprise ideologically acceptable individuals, or individuals whose intellectual endeavors were channeled into “acceptable” avenues thought to be beneficial to the radical right faction, thus exploitive and injurious to the country’s common good. In these organizations a person’s professional ambition was realized in proportion to their advocating approved council that was overbearing, violent, perfidious and profitable to faction, which is then viewed as productive output from a person of ability. It must be realized that with the propaganda machine functioning to shape public opinion, those who contend that US Legislators are bound by those polls are unfortunately in error, and they have placed the cart before the mule, as legislators are but slaves of slaves. (Unfortunately, under current campaign spending constraints, the greatest part of a legislator’s time, and the largest amount of a legislator’s staff and office resources are directed toward raising the money that is essential to win elections which are determined primarily by money and the media access it can buy.) It is by means of such circumlocutions that public policy becomes mismanaged and mutilated into the monstrous acts of deformed legislature that the radical right driven Republican Party keeps presenting to the American public. It must be noted that participation in radical right faction is based primarily on loyalty rather than ability, genius and experience. In fact ignorance can be an asset, when action is dominated by groups of would be thugs and assassins who intimidate dissenting participants, with threats of economic deprivation, property confiscation, and torturous acts of violence that includes murder. Among such misanthropic flagitous acts, how can plans be formulated that secures Liberty and other precious Civil Rights, including private property rights and culminate in the good order of society ?

Its not surprising that the radical right faction controlled Republican President Ronald Reagan administration, was characterized by fraudulently extending the Cold War; and then, finally replacing it with foreign aid for Russia, which unfortunately was extorted and diverted into select radical right faction investments, while leaving Russia undeveloped, exploited and impoverished, witness the current deplorable state of its health care system’s facilities; and, the US, with its current trade deficit problems, missed a golden opportunity, because of radical right factional avarice, when we weren’t able to develop a potential consumer market comparable in size to the USA. And, meanwhile in the USA, government participation was dependent, either on possessing independent wealth, as in the present day case of Sen. Kerry, or campaign contributions, begged in part, from the radical right faction, which results in a government that’s not Democratic, by the people and for the people; but, a government, by a miserable group of hirelings whose wages are paid in a currency of iniquity from the instruments of faction, like Republican Party PACs. The radical right faction having found the nation so deplorably situated proceeded to (and continues to ‘till today, now that the radical right completely dominates all three branches of Federal Government and the access to information by US citizens) dishonor her in foreign affairs and domestically impoverishes and oppresses; witness the fact that the puppet-president, even though a leader the radical right had hand picked (see previous issue on the negative effects of labor factor inputs and leadership in faction dominated systems) suffered from Alzheimer and was shot in the head without anyone noticing any difference to the shameful exploitive functioning of government; and, as stated, his ambitious ministers were the most odious individuals and contemptibly corrupt, to have afflicted this nation in its long 200 year plus history. A tradition of corruption that continues today, with the President and V.P. severely criticized for lapses in honest and prudent behavior, and their ambitious administrators and fellow radical right faction controlled Republican elected officials including the Republican Whip who faces 3^rd degree felony charges to violate law, in an incident that involves $155,000; David Safavian the top procurement officer in the Executive branch of government; Republican Senate Majority leader Bill Frist, who is being investigated by the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission for selling HCA stocks supposedly held in a blind trust just before their precipitous decline – move over Martha Stewart, Ken Lay (Enron chairman) and Dennis Kozlowski (Tyco chief exec.) ; Republican Bob Ney Chairperson for the Committee on Campaign Finances was linked to Abrramoff and his dealings with tribes opening casinos and campaign contributions linked to Abramoff and luxury trips; republican Duke Cunningham member of the Defense Appropriations who sold a house for $1,675,000 that was then resold by the President of MZM nine months later for $975,000 which was awarded a $40,000,000 defense contract, also he lived on MZM president’s yacht; and, Republican Nick Smith who gave his son $4,000 for a vote supporting the administration’s privatized Medicare prescription plan that the Bush administration later dropped because of budget problems stemming from giving Iraq UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE at US tax payer expense – another Republican Smith bites the dust. Does anyone see a pattern of persistent vice and corruption associated with the radical right faction driven tyrannical government? The actions of radical right faction have fallen into circumstances, which constitute the quintessence of political corruption, but the terrible fact is that it’s the American public who are compelled to experience the misery. The radical right faction has literally sold the USA’s birthright of Liberty and Civil Rights for pieces of gold. These servants of the radical right faction abused power, and they were persuaded by being motivated by greed in an environment, which countenanced what ever it takes as a moral basis for behavior. They may have feared losing the opportunity to gain money that their natural ability and normal circumstances would never have afforded them. And, they evidently despised the old fashioned adjuncts to good Democratic government of freedom, honesty, propriety, and moderation. These willing tools of radical right faction driven Republican Party deserve to be slaves, and the subordinate tyrants in the radical right faction’s organized crime who extort and intimidate and subordinate their fellow citizens’ rights, deserve to be slaves, too. But, the good citizens of this fine country, who are basically moderate and virtuous people, don’t. When a free people are first coerced, to work against their interests for the benefit of other special interests; and, they are forced to metaphorically crouch before subordinate tyrants who intimidate, torment, and corrupt them, they become analogous to a beast of burden, forced to bear heavy loads; then, in the next phase of tyranny, regardless of who functions in that context, the tyrant figuratively mounts them, which means they are exploited, like Americans have been for the last two decades, and, they soon feel the spurs and whips of tyranny cruelly biting their flesh; for a tyrant, in this case the radical right faction and their subordinate tyrants in organized crime function much as Satin in the Bible, in a multitude of respects; but, particularly in this regard, they may have started out as an angel functioning for the best pretences, with emotional excuses based on personal opinions that overwhelm reason; however, they soon degenerate, through being habituated to hurting people by abusing power, ‘till they function as liar and cheat, tempter and tormentor. And, like the deceitful and corrupt subordinate tyrants in the radical right faction’s criminal organization, who plans the crime and manipulates a targeted person into being their criminal, and finally, they punish the targeted person who they’ve induced into committing their crime: obviously, Justice, like the other cardinal virtues temperance and prudence are disdained by the radical right. This scenario was first observed in the 1700’s, and, with subliminal technologies, it is even more valid today, than when it was first applied, to the work of Aristotle on politics.

This is the set of circumstances in the USA, during the time frame under discussion. We were already corrupted during the Vietnam War, and the fraudulent extension of the Cold War set the stage for the further rise of faction. Our government had experienced broad based political parties for almost 200 years, usually in some form of a bipolar two party system; and, the Republican Party became the eventual base of the radical right faction’s domestic political operations, when the right wing purged the party of its broad base continuum by eliminating liberal, moderate and conservative elements from effective participation. The radical right faction was optimally positioned when they acquired the Presidency, with the retired actor Ronald Reagan playing the part; and, he was backed by a ideologically malleable cast of ambitious adjuncts, whose services were purchased by fully funded PACs. Subsequently, the participants of the radical right faction have engaged in actions that must be described as seditious, as they proceeded with their efforts to coerce and corrupt others into base sycophancy. And, in spite of the extortionist ploys of the radical right faction’s criminal counterparts their subordinate tyrants that were designed to solicit vile submission and base capitulation from the general population, there remains in our country a solid moderate base of citizens who remain uncorrupted and are open advocates of Liberty and Equality. These are the citizens who continue to work unremittingly to deliver our country during these dark perilous times. We were a nation of freedom loving people in the full and proper meaning of the phrase; because, not only were the two major political parties broad based coalitions of diverse political beliefs, in the full and proper sense, which meant people believed and worked in a tolerant and conciliatory environment, to pass and support laws that asserted the fundamental Civil Rights of all citizens, particularly people who were in minority groups; but, both parties vied in maintaining and improving American citizens’ common rights, they believed that the private independence of the individual based on Equality was the sole support for public Liberty under a Democratic government. Further, it was Liberty which functioned as Adam Smith’s invisible hand that served as the main spring for the US economy, and it was primarily responsible for creating a large, stable, prosperous middle class that gave the USA the greatest consumer market and the highest standard of living in the world. A standard of living that has fallen precipitously in an inverse relation with the constriction and diminution of wealth that the USA has experienced during the rise of the radical right faction. Such a preeminent nation as we were then could accomplish anything, like walking on the moon; but, we could not be ignominiously bought, nor could we be intimidated. It took three terms under a radical right faction driven Republican Presidency, and 20 years of the uninterrupted corrupt influences of immoral-criminal subordinate tyrants to enervate the US citizens to docilely lie down, while it was fraudulently cheated out of its President. The Republican puppet-president Ronald Reagan may have been grossly ignorant and pathetically incompetent and the most under qualified man to be President, ‘till the subsequent radical right faction’s Republican puppet-presidents, but as a man at least he was affable, or the US public would never have tolerated his continual ineffectual bungling. The electronic media’s packaged Presidency gave Americans the illusion of having access to a President, who in reality could not have been more remote than if he were royalty, and in fact the Democratic Party adversaries started to disparagingly call him king and themselves the royal opposition. The nation’s people continued to act politically responsibly, as they were bound to do, because of prudence, justice, temperance, reason and a term that was starting to become, though it hadn’t arrived, obsolete – integrity. Besides, we were behaving under the influence of 200 years of momentum. The radical right faction, with its puppet-presidency of retired actor Ronald Reagan, behaved irresponsibly, as they defrauded the US citizens by extending the Cold War and diverting the foreign aid for Russia; they bought American votes with a tax cut that was merely an exercise in smoke and mirrors, which transferred the responsible legitimate burdens of government from the national level (Federal government) that was best positioned to equitably and cost effectively provide it, to the State and local levels of government which were not. The rich people received a generous tax break, while their middle and lower class counterparts ended up paying the same, if not more for fragmented services that were no longer equitable and accompanied by a proliferation of additional government bureaucracies for duplicating services at lower levels of government. Under the radical right faction lead Republican Party the US bought an obsolete navy, we no longer needed, with continued bloated military spending that ignored the ending of the Cold War and a world situation, identified by both the CIA and NSC, as not possessing a single threat to USA interests either at home or abroad. The only economic recovery the Republican Party could generate was to make up for the lost ground from the second largest depression that the 20^th century experienced, caused by the radical right faction policies, and many economists believe that the recovery was the result of the self correcting mechanisms inherently operant in the business cycle, so the Republican Party trying to take credit for the improved state of affairs is a little like trying to take credit for gravity. It is an unfortunate true fact the retired actor, who the injudicious members of the radical right faction imprudently placed in the oval office, this blind ambitious man couldn’t run the country, and sadly, if he was given the opportunity, he probably wouldn’t have been able to run a small store. The first, administration weathered the depression and heard the discontented murmurs of the country, lied and claimed responsibility for a recovery, which was as we previously noted nothing but the up turn of the business cycle, and he promised the entire country excessive and unfair tax cuts, and he received credit for George Schultz finally nailing down the elusive end to the Cold War. Seeing this incompetence up close the then press secretary Baker, who could manipulate the public and stay ahead of a story, ambitiously demanded to be Secretary of State, when George Schultz retired, in an ill fated effort to be groomed as a potential President. But, he fell flat on his face during the second term, proving that the Secretary of State doesn’t have to have experience and ability, but it helps. Meanwhile, the most corrupt administration in US history wallowed on. And, control of the American media was guaranteed with its purchase and it was converted into a radical right faction driven propaganda machine. The second term saw Republican puppet-president Ronald Reagan shot, which fortunately covered up his lack of ability, except for the fact that no one missed him. He finished his Presidency that can best be characterized by four events, a huge stock market crash, the fraudulently extended Cold War finally stopping without the big spending Republicans seeming to notice, an unfair ill advised tax cut for the wealthy and an illusion for the rest of the country, and the felony called the Iran-Contra scandal which demonstrated how government had come to be mismanaged under the radical right faction controlled Republican Party. A few representative secret events that went unheralded will be developed later. The popular puppet-president left office with high approval ratings only because the US public knew even less about the Republican dominated government than Republican puppet-president Ronald Reagan, if that’s possible.

Enter the second string, and George Bush Sr. and his blessedly brief Presidency. The radical right faction by means of their control of the Republican Party, with its rural constituency, dominated the Senate and Executive Branch of government, which meant that government became a faction dominated show. The confidence between the radical right faction purged Republican Party and Democrat Party controlled House of Representatives was by this time so completely broken that the Democrats wouldn’t trust the Republican Party, which was conducting its sordid business by a method they ominously described as “by deniability”. This isn’t surprising when one considers after a retired actor the world’s largest and oldest Democracy was being lead by the former head of the CIA, which while under his supervision, conducted three separate operations each one described as “GENOCIDE”, in a work that earned its scholar-author a Pulitzer Prize. The ravaging of the US government and flagrant abuses engaged in under the guise of foreign affairs resulted in such a nadir state that it forced George Sr. to engage in the first phony war with Iraq, because it was felt to be necessary, according to computer models, if he was to win re-election. But, first a brief hi-light of various events that characterized the transformation secretly underway that was transpiring in the USA, under domination by the radical right faction’s political pawn the Republican Party, since it is only factional interests in the industrial-military profits that make war a preferred policy to peace, that and the expediency of a phony foreign threat during an election year to help the radical right Republican puppet-president win re-election. The USA used Iraq, as the next biggest power in the Middle-East, after incompetently bungling the state of affairs in Iran, who was our former ally, when the Shah ruled the largest country in the region with the second largest oil reserves in the world, when the USA was identified with a government whose secret police tortured at least one family member of every family in the country; and, in a copy of a failed policy that utilized surrogates in S.E. Asia (the mountain tribes along the Western border of Vietnam) the US used Iraq to attack Iran, who wished to steal land from Iran at the mouth of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to build a sea port. This war lasted almost a decade and culminated in failure. Then, some idiot in a radical right think tank came up with the profitable idea of fighting a phony war for additional industrial-military profits, and to win back sagging political support in both the USA for Bush Sr. and in Iraq for our, then, chief ally in the region Saddam Hussein, by pretending to divide him from the USA; remember, under the USA advice, he attacked the peaceful Kurds’ villages in Iraq with US supplied helicopters that dropped US supplied lethal chemical weapons, like nerve gas, on his own countrymen killing men, women, and children in order to subsequently move Sunni Iraq citizens loyal to him into the oil rich region, while he simultaneously was fighting the war against Shiite Iran, which wasn’t popular with Iraq’s extensive Shiite population. Thus the USA followed two previously failed policies at once, while laying what must be recognized as the incompetent greed driven (control of Iraq’s extensive – the third largest in the world - oil and natural gas reserves) basis for the current bad relations with Iraq that we’re still watching the radical right political pawns the Republican Party blunder through today. Unfortunately, the Post Cold War Era brought in its wake a rise in the politics of terrorism (see previous issues’ essays on the subject) where to maintain its influence over the oil rich Middle-East the radical right faction assassinated its way into dominance of the Hamas, which then was active throughout the Mediterranean and Near East. The radical right faction proliferated terrorism to a national and regional basis, after Hamas became synonymous for the CIA, and as such, it was no longer useful; however, with its downsizing, to one of the two major Palestinian terrorist groups, it experienced a resurgence on a reduced scale, while terrorism spread, according to subversive strategies enumerated by the CIA manuals, all across the Moslem world. During this time frame failed radical right faction economic policies caused USA economic prospects to go into a precipitous decline, which produced a vacuum that Japan quickly filled; and so, Tokyo along with Wall Street, as the two leading financial centers of the world, and the World Trade Center, became targets for attempted terrorist attacks, both country’s commuter trains being picked to optimize intimidation without endangering the world’s two leading financial center’s highest echelon individuals, who don’t travel by commuter trains. Also, terrorist attacks occurred in Western Europe and North America. In the Western Hemisphere the radical right faction’s strategy to expand its profits by horizontally integrating its drug trafficking middle man position in the heroin and cocaine trade into a monopoly of all aspects of production and distribution in their bids for hostile takeovers predictably lead to violence, too; and, joined with the radical right faction’s support of political regimes that employed “Death squads”, to control their dissatisfied citizens by acts of terror that included murdering women and leaving their violated naked bodies with their breasts chopped off tied to trees for public display and raping and murdering nuns who were working in the countryside doing charitable work with the country’s poor. Proceeds from the industrial-military, embezzled foreign aid, and lucrative drug traffic profits lead to extensive investment opportunities and eventual fraudulent stock market manipulation and insider trading practices like leading funds and selling short were employed in efforts to optimize the radical right faction’s rates of return. Efforts grew to the point where wars were waged and revolutions fermented to facilitate advantageous political scenarios for obtaining economic resources that included natural gas fields and energy grids at depressed market valuations. Domestically, the extremist populist movement and the fanatical Christian coalition of the right wing were organized and incorporated into the radical right faction and affiliated with their political counterparts in the newly purged Republican Party. The populist movement quickly evolved into organized crime, with its organization attracting every misanthropic member of society who wanted to be able to exercise their anti-social proclivities for hurting people, for pleasure and profit, and still be able to pretend to virtue, while staying out of jail embracing with impunity the very behaviors that they joined with the police in apprehending and convicting, when committed by other non-affiliated criminals; and, other people were subject to a process of deliberate corruption that conditioned them, by deceit, first to hate targeted subgroups of society who matched the bigoted biases of the ruling elite of the radical right faction, and then made them callus and indifferent to the plight of individuals subject to sadistic torture, violent crimes and even heinous acts including rape, murder and child abuse. And, what started out targeting the radical right faction’s heroin and crack epidemics was soon generalized, for reasons of corrupt greed and to condition society to be oppressed, to include smoking pot (because the heroin and crack users only included ½% of the population, which was soon exhausted by busts; and, the pot smoking population included 75% of the population, which proved very lucrative and more efficient at conditioning society to be oppressed, and it reflected the capricious whims of the radical right faction’s ruling elite – beer and wine were initially targeted, too; but, at the last minute deferred, when it was learned that they actually lengthened life when consumed in moderation) as the immoral-criminal elements of society became habituated to subordinating other citizens’ Civil Rights and Liberty to their own. The consequence was a reign of terror that satisfied the perverse appetites of predators, by supplying them with an extensive supply of victims that included people recently described by operatives working in our area, as “a good hard working family” and people who were considered as being “very spiritual members of the church” by fellow church members. Anyway, the point is that these people characterized as “solid citizens” were reported to be: dead. Or, so the author was told, in an effort designed to intimidate.

What has been briefly discussed here, and in former papers, is sufficient to demonstrate, to a degree, how the radical right faction puppet masters, who were instrumental in packaging Republican President Ronald Reagan and Republican President George Bush, were able to fragment a country; and, how they were able to corrupt and distract it, with a displaced populist movement that soon became nothing but a new form of an old malady – organized crime; today, the basic Civil Rights of fellow citizens has been impaired to the point where whole segments of society find that it is no longer possible to engage in behavior representative of an individual’s free will and self-determination, in pursuit of happiness in harmony with the nature of a person’s being, to the extent it doesn’t directly prevent another citizen from freely expressing the same fundamental rights; further, these basic rights are being violated to such a great degree that Equality and Liberty are no longer basic social characteristics of America, they have been replaced by subordination, which was established with a campaign of deceitful behavior so heinous as to be designed to enflame society’s passions to so great an extent that they overcame society’s collective ability to reason for short periods of time, specially around elections, and this deliberately deceptive campaign is so vile as to force its perpetuators into having to hide their responsibility; and yet, the radical right faction uses it as a corrupt base to attach a vice ridden corrupt party to themselves, which lasted several years, and not only maintained its blasphemous usurpations and avarice driven corrupt incompetence over the country, but to gain a fraudulent ascendancy over the nation during the same period of time. But, there is something more that deserves to be considered. The radical right faction not only prepared for their eventual defeat, but actually acquired strength while out of office, during the Democratic administration of President Clinton; that they had independent funding sources helped enable them to conduct major operations involving felonies that continued the active persecution by fraud, with all manner of apparent zeal, which continued to devastate good people’s lives and unleashed vices and violence on a largely unsuspecting nation. It was during the Democratic administration that it was discovered these efforts were facilitated domestically by an FBI lab, which under the influence of the previous radical right faction lead Republican Administrations circumstances had digressed to the point, where control was so corrupt as to systematically loose and tamper with evidence for trials, in most of the criminal cases that involved the FBI. The infamous misconduct sank to new depths, when after starting a phony foreign war the radical right lead Republican puppet-presidency of George Bush then tried to pay our enemy’s war debt and rearm the Iraq nation, with loans disguised as agricultural that were sent through a third country bank, in this case Italy by using a bank in Rome. Such persistent pervasive malevolence could have only one response from the public, they voted him out of office before he could be impeached. When a free people lie under any grievance, or apprehension of danger, and try to receive redress by their nation’s leaders, either a callus indifference, or a corrupt disregard reduces them to the melancholy alternative of continuing to submit to one and exist exposed to the other; or, the citizens can elect to free themselves from both alternatives without his consent, which can only be done by severing their interests from the factional interests, whose willing tool the nation’s leaders have become., Republican puppet-president George Bush foolishly continued to push factional objectives, and as a result, he lost his bid for re-election. The numbers affirmed, at that time, our nation’s desire to return to sound Democratic principles of good government, and the result of the next two elections served to make many people think that Democracy was safe. But, it’s a truth in life that people run into errors from any extreme, and, while most virtues are those states of existence which promote a person or people’s happiness that tend to exist between extremes; and, applied to the political domain where all extremes do exist and their right to exist should be respected, even if they themselves should not, and tolerated to the extent that they don’t deny others the free exercise of their rights; God made mankind so that the vast majority tend toward a stable, virtuous middle, and, the true point of political wisdom is to understand this theoretical speculation about the best possible point that optimizes freedom and thus prosperity, and happiness, and reconciling it with pragmatic contemporary considerations at any particular conjunction. The radical right faction was built on the best intentions, particularly for themselves, no doubt; but, it was based on manifest absurdities, too, and, it was consequent to many vices, dislocations, and dysfunctions, and as a result produced too many difficulties and dangers, with the laws of nature and economics operating against them. The plain simple truth is that as there were many individuals ignorant and self-seeking who were desirous that their way should become preeminent and prevail on society. These factious elements prevailed against the national interests, which require a firm foundation of Democratic ideals instead of faction prevailing and subordinating others to a corrupt vice ridden system united by one element common to all – fear. But, the radical right faction was committed to the path of folly and all the Republicans sycophantic leaders were resolved to let all degenerate into confusion, rather than listen to the voice of reason; besides, they were all of one mind having refused, by exclusion, to let anyone with a different point of view meaningfully participate; so, they were literally blind to the Himalayan blunders that they kept making and covering up with layers of distortions, oppression, corruption and deceit. Hate provoked hate, and the radical right faction subordinate tyrants deliberately enflamed animosity rather than counseling temperance and tolerance so that through prudence Justice would prevail. The Democrats, to survive, matched obstinacies with a natural steadfast resolve for sound Democratic principles of good government.

It was this folly of radical right factional fanaticism that led to a common mortal danger that the increasing national apprehension woke, too. The eventual complete domination of the Federal government by a faction controlled party served as a wake up call to the Democratic Party, and it brought them to their to their senses. The corruption that was prevalent during the Reagan Bush administrations are so recent and well documented that descending in detail into their iniquitous domain doesn’t serve any constructive purpose, at present. A few generalizations on the extension of the corruption of faction during Bush’s blessedly brief administration will suffice, to demonstrate the lesson that history has to teach about how faction negatively effects government in the most fundamental ways; and, it resulted in the Republican Party being purged, which established a homogenous structure that facilitated the just imputation of malfeasance that has clearly been shown, with the radical right Republicans factional tyranny viewing government as a means of making a few individuals a lot of money, by exploitive policies that culminated in utilizing government as a conduit between the pockets of the public and the private accounts of the radical right faction’s ruling elite, this situation was facilitated by the dominant ploys of faction, assisted by a vice ridden corrupt layer of subordinate tyrants, whose behavior was always immoral and usually criminal; while their Democratic Party counter parts advocated and practiced, wherever possible, traditional models of good Democratic government, which views the function of government as being omnifarious, in that it represents the entire country and develops programs and policies that effectively help all Americans preserve their Constitutionally guaranteed Civil Rights, particularly promoting the broad base of economic interests and positively mitigating where negative externalities necessitate fair intervention. These distinctions continued to plague us, on the part of Republican characteristics, and served to substantively divide them from the Democratic Party for many years afterwards, and in fact still mark the principle and critical distinctions between the respective parties, and the radical right factional dominated Republican Party’s subsequent injurious perturbations can be transformed to be reconcilable with reason and common sense, and basic ideas about honesty and decency, but, there is little prospect of success among those participants who benefit from a corrupt system built on a double standard in violation of the Constitution and which repudiates and viciously attacks anything approximating plurality, dissent and constructive criticism.

The concrete behaviors openly embraced and deceitfully employed by the radical right Republican Party and puppet-president George Bush’s administration has been sufficiently covered, and unfortunately it was duplicated and confirmed by subsequent Republican administrations, for lessons to be learned that included acts of violence (against public schools where targeted children were set up to murder their classmates and then themselves, in stead of students becoming frustrated and unhappy, and then dropping out of schools in a persistent prevalent pattern at least 100 years old; and, before the radical right faction became involved and altered a situation, which previously effected 1/3^rd of our children; under the influence of the radical right, we witnessed, in the steadily escalating patterns necessary to optimize the media’s propaganda value a pattern that was impossible to explain statistically, which was designed to undermine popular support for public schools; and, which the radical right planned to use to replace the current fair public school system, with the unfair Republican two tiered charter school systems, designed to meet the radical right faction’s future labor needs, based on the computer model’s same 20% - 80% ratio of good jobs to poor jobs competitive with Third World labor markets that the radical right Republican education plan provided for; with the new and improved charter schools designed to accommodate 20% of our children, while the old inferior public schools were left bearing 80% of the students with less money available to operate, because of the drain created by the new better schools, thus burdening the majority of our children with worse educations that would result in futures afflicted by ignorance and poorer paying dead end jobs competitive with the Third World labor markets that in turn would result in poverty stricken Third World lives for the overwhelming majority of our children; which was coincidentally, supposed to be optimally profitable for the radical right faction, according to their computer models; but, left the public paying more for unfair school systems that offered worse education for the overwhelming majority of our children – see previous issues on education effects of faction – not to mention the wide spread use of child prostitutes to infiltrate their classmates in order to spy, set up and dominate all aspects of their lives) which demonstrated that strong bigoted biases, no matter how supposedly well intended, usually utilize ignorance and lack of adequate education to be the nurse of tyranny, and injustice, and violence, and cruel corruption, which are its legitimate offspring. The puppet-president was in the full maturity of his years. He had government experience as head of the CIA of a kind that manipulated Democratic governments; particularly in ways injurious to the government and its people, and functioned undemocratically, usually in oppressive and always in deceitful operations i.e. Cambodia’s genocide operation, which was funded through China, to keep them actively hostile militarily against their neighbor Vietnam, and Iraq a supposed enemy, though actually secretly an ally being funded through a bank in Rome in agricultural loans, and the Iran-Contra scandal, where he was partially caught, and arrogantly refused to fire a felon who was his chief liaison officer to the CIA . The problem was that his experience didn’t help him understand how Democracy works and what good government entailed. It did teach him to disdain Democracy and hold free societies in contempt, while hypocritically undermining their Civil Rights and Constitution. In short neither George Bush nor the country profited from his government experiences. His bigotry drew false conclusions and established deceitful based behaviors that injured the Democratic government and exploited the people. It deluded himself that his masters who lead the radical right faction, with their control of the propaganda machine could divide the country with lies, and splinter racial and ethnic groups with vice and corruption, better than any tyrant had before, now with the assistance of invasive subliminal technologies, and would enable the radical right faction to finish their private secret designs of oppression and tyranny, which was already firmly established in all branches of government. He was packaged, to pass for an effective leader of a Democratic government. Perhaps, he even thought it so; and, he always addressed the nation, in the posture of a leader, rather than a base pawn; and yet, never was there a meaner fraud perpetuated against American Democracy, than to fight a phony foreign war at great expense to create a bogus perceived threat in order to generate enough temporary support, which was sagging, to win re-election, and included establishing a third political party that the radical right faction was surreptitiously helping to fund, in an effort to divide the country’s overwhelming dissatisfied dissident vote, to cover misconduct so scandalously bad as the radical right faction’s had been during the Bush puppet-presidency. During his presidential term, like the actor before him, he made the strongest professions toward support of the Constitution, with its Bill of Rights and avowal for Equality and Egalitarian Safeguards, for personal safety and the security of property rights; and, further, he expressed the strongest support in favor and solemn resolve to defend and advance core Democratic and Christian values. But, bigotry brushed aside all cobwebs that equated restraint, for such chimera they become to people transported by extremist driven delirium; who acquire power and aren’t restrained by morals and inconvenienced by scruples, from abusing power and destroying all decency that is established by morality and civilization. These appropriate prudent dispositions established by the wisdom of our founding fathers, and confirmed with the passage of about 200 years of American experience; and, protected by a checks and balance system that the radical right mastered Republican President Bush was resolved to make obsolete and irrelevant, with a political blitzkrieg that was to go largely unmentioned in the media-propaganda machine, and thus unnoticed by the good citizens of the USA. The eventual goal, as publicly stated by the head of the Senate Judiciary, which was largely confirmed and realized, was to make being a radical right ideological clone prerequisite to meaningful participation in the US, Republican dominated government. In other words under the radical right factional driven Republican Party, it was a tyrannical government by exclusion, with a thin Democratic facade, in stead of time honored universally accepted inclusive Democratic government models, with its characteristic diverse participating elements that reflects American societies rich cultural and ethnic diversity. They proved themselves to be deceitful and duplicitous, and also they proved themselves not to be men of parts. They were malleable political animals; who were, when not independently wealthy, dependant on radical right factional largess and technical support, for computer profiling electoral districts, for continued survival. The fact is that the chaotic circumstances around the demise of the Cold War, left the establishment of an independent fully funded international radical right faction, whose extensive organization went unobserved and unrecognized, caused perplexities beyond the limited capacities of mediocre lawyers; who in fairness to them, were forced to spend almost all their time exclusively devoted to raising money to run for office. A professed extreme right wing Republican sitting in the white house, left the radical right faction in complete control of the Executive Branch; and, finally, the Democratic Party was realizing that the radical right faction’s manipulative style of government was really tyranny, rather than a Democracy in the traditional sense; and, the radical right faction’s private agenda was not an expression of the will of the people that should be left largely unopposed, a position that left the good citizens of this country almost at the mercy of the radical right puppet-president, and the radical right faction’s extreme subordinate tyrants, in what was by then no longer a populist movement, but the radical right faction’s organized crime, who’ve degenerated to the point where they call themselves a gang, who openly engages in criminal operations. And, the Democrats started effective political opposition, raising the public out cry against the exploitation and oppression of the nation and its citizens, and they were generating positive results, even though masked in the radical right dominated media. The dissidents, who were the most determined not to lose either their Civil Rights or Liberty, were in a position where they could potentially lose everything by their opposition by being slandered, and defrauded, and coerced; but, they were still willing to wait around and observe, for opportunities to constructively act, and not precipitously undertake rash premature measures; because, they realized that Civil Rights were like reputations, extremely valuable and once lost are unfortunately rarely regained, by a society and/or person, in any given lifetime. It was impossible to believe the Democrat’s Republican Party political opponents, or to take the media seriously, when they espoused confidence in the radical right faction’s puppet-president’s incompetent ineffectual performance, as they pretended in their media-propaganda machine. But, like Brueghel’s painting of the Biblical passage of the blind leading the blind, as they fall into a gaping ditch, they know nothing other than the factional exploitation of government. The first phony war with Iraq didn’t generate the rally to the flag for their puppet-president response that the radical right faction had hoped and expected, but rather, they were so remote from affording the country any real opportunity to mend the country’s faltering prospects, with corrupt practices like the agricultural loans through Rome, which were designed to optimize the radical right faction’s industrial-military profits at the rest of the country’s expense, and that was calculated to leave the Democratic Party isolated and in an untenable position; but, in fact, it served to drive the majority of Americans from the Republicans in the subsequent election, in spite of vast monetary advantages and advantages in a blatantly unfair media. The radical right faction dominated Republican Party feared the adverse effects of a Democratic administration, which advocated legitimate foreign policy objectives that utilized the UN and NATO to defray expenses and firmly establish international support, by isolating Iraq and treating it like a rogue country that attacked two neighboring nations inside of ten years, instead of an ally who was a bogus fraud perpetrated against the public; and, domestically presented them with the prospects of the resurgence in Democratic principles that they apprehended, when what the radical right faction fully intended for the nation was, what they realized under the radical right faction’s next puppet-president George Jr., a renewal of the same tyranny. What is subject to wonder is the lack of response their efforts generated; though one has to lament the negative effects that their efforts caused in the needless loss of lives and resources, generated by the radical right faction lead Republican avarice, to two countries who were victimized by a series of extremist measures that were intemperate, unjust and ultimately tyrannical, in a last desperate attempt to retain power.

Consequently, the first phony war with Iraq, at the of Republican puppet-president George Bush’s reign favored the radical right faction’s avaricious objective, pursuing a policy of war designed to get him re-elected, and shore up the political prospects that were seriously sagging of the then ally Saddam Hussein and thus the indirect control of Iraq’s extensive oil and natural gas deposits. They raised, in the minds of the people, fears, which were the radical right faction’s primary method of motivating and manipulating our nation’s citizens; and, coupled with their control of the rise of terrorism in the Post Cold War Era, their chief method of manipulating the Middle-East and USA. It provided the radical right driven Republican Party puppet-president a pretense, which George Bush readily seized, to establish a US military presence in that region of the world. And, then, after waiting just long enough for the domestic political needs of the Iraq President Saddam Hussein, to separate him and Iraq from the US A, they completed the radical right faction’s previously arranged script that saved the US and Mid-East oil and natural gas supplies; and, it delivered us from the carefully contrived dangers that we were supposedly exposed to during his term in office; however, American voters, by defeating at the polls in the next election the radical right faction packaged presidency of George Bush, narrowly missed their precipitous attempts against our nation’s prosperity and Liberty. The lavish theatrical production that was the first Iraq war, staged at an exotic location, cost the US citizens enormous amounts of money, and sustained obsolete budget allocations at excessive levels beneficial to the radical right faction’s industrial-military, but it was injurious to the US economy creating dislocations and leakage, which exacerbated US trade deficit problems; as opposed to shoring up and augmenting sustainable consumer demand, like the ensuing Democratic Party’s administration accomplished, under the legitimate leadership of President Clinton. After the phony war was finished, funds were supplied to re-supply the US military and Iraq under the guise of the previously mention agricultural loans that tried to cover up the corruption and considerable needless expenses involved, and exposed a relationship between the two nations that was obviously tilt. In short we were forced to incur the World’s largest debt and drawn to the brink of a fiscal precipice; but, the US citizen’s common sense prevailed and the radical right faction’s puppet president Republican George Bush was voted out of office. The American voter would not yet support a Republican administration of avarice and corruption, and the US people wouldn’t back a foreign policy based on fraud, when enough of the truth became known to the public; but, they rejected the lies prepared by the radical right faction’s propaganda machine for that purpose. They wouldn’t support domestic policy that refused to adequately address the basic needs of the nation, like repairing the aging infrastructure, which would promote employment and facilitate business, and over extension abroad that ultimately didn’t promote US interests, with the regional stability and security that function as necessary prerequisites to protect investments and facilitate the development of consumer markets: that is US voters wouldn’t pitch the nation head first over the precipice. And, because they wouldn’t, the US experienced an eight year reprieve, where we had unprecedented prosperity lead by the Democratic Party’s adherence to sound policies based on good, solid Democratic models of government, in contradistinction to the failed radical right factional policies of the Republican Party that oppressed and impoverished the nation.

Events transpired quickly between the end of the phony first Iraq war and subsequent Presidential election. Because the incumbent radical right faction’s Republican puppet-president George Bush’s record was open to the public and unbelievably bad, it left the radical right faction in desperate straights that they resolved by completely disregarding the record, and designing a campaign which packaged their candidate built exclusively on lies – a pattern that Americans saw repeated in the last presidential election, too. In short it was nothing but shear fiction. The Democratic Party opposed them to the up most of their abilities. The dissident members of society who were in the majority were isolated and intimidated, and there were wide spread efforts in the faction dominated media that encouraged non-participation in the nation’s election processes that resulted in even lower voter turn outs than usual. The strategy meant that with lower voter turn outs, the radical right faction’s corrupt extremist core, which in the best of times only constituted a minority, with the assistance of a divided dissident vote, would be able to sneak through and win the election – this was before the current practice of electronic election fraud that protects the huge investment of factional controlled special interests and doesn’t leave verifiable paper trails. The radical right faction’s constituency of right wing extremists, pseudo religious right Christian fundamentalists, and corrupt vice ridden subordinate tyrants was supposed to win with the help of the media-propaganda machine, and tremendous advantages in campaign spending ratios, at least that is what the radical right faction’s computer models were indicating. But, the computer models were in error. Let’s reverence Truth, and congratulate the prudence of American voters, whose sound judgment prevailed, with a Democratic victory.

The reaffirmation of Democratic principles was the net effect. Many members of the Democratic Party, many who possessed the highest degree of expertise in successful political and academic careers, were responsible participants, and the whole nation was ready for the winds of change. The radical right faction benefited from the same cause that the rest of the nation was celebrating, though it was to be several years before they were sufficiently and appropriately experienced, to be prudent and temperate enough in their behavior and judgment to appreciate the positive outcome. Unfortunately, neither the puppet-president George Bush personally improved from his experiences, nor the radical right faction dominated Republican Party; because, they fraudulently stole two Presidential elections eight years later, and the Republican Party’s candidate for President was George Bush Jr., whose platform and policies were as similar as identical campaign managers and contributors could make them. Both were blind and couldn’t see the errors. The radical right faction continued to completely dominate the Republican Party, and pursued the same bad policies in an expanded format. The Democrats spent eight years healing the country, with a period of prosperity blemished by one war, which was forced on it that it waged and won without a single fatality, in a short period of time, with help from the global community (see previous issue) and well under budget – less than 5 billion compared with the big spending radical right faction dominated Republican Party performance in a similar situation in non-forested non-mountainous Iraq. The Republican Party continued trying to sacrifice the country for their radical right factional masters. The war served as a foreign affairs example, where Republican Party avarice demonstrated itself, when they recommended failed proposals designed to protract the war effort and conduct it at optimum costs, with policies borrowed from the Vietnam War, i.e. establishing a system of enclaves, islands of terrain, where the US military would be in control and gradually expand out dominating the surrounding mountainous, heavily wooded terrain that was riddled with caves perfect to hide weapons and explosives and troops. Domestically, the radical right faction dominated Republicans kept advocating policies that would’ve burdened the USA beneath a mountain of debt; and, they actually extorted government, by refusing to responsibly fund vital programs that included health care for Senior Citizens and foster children, if the Democrats didn’t cravenly cave in to ridiculous Republican greed driven extortionist demands, to privatize the existing fully funded and functioning public Medicare system, and substitute the most expensive to operate, most unfair, worst rated for families and children, and provided worse health for 50% of participants who were Sr. citizens, chronically ill, and poor every three years– in other words just about everyone. Also, the radical right faction controlled Republican proposed system was subject to a critical flaw that it still experiences today, it is subject to runaway cost increases, recently exacerbated by the waves of radical right Republican caused cost push inflation, that were in the neighborhood of 25% per annum before, so the average citizen would have to double their health care costs every four years for the Republican plan to survive. Another domestic blunder repeatedly proposed by the radical right faction dominated Republican Party was to privatize the fully funded public Social Security System, where the Republican plan called for a private system that wouldn’t generate any higher rates of return, would destabilize the world’s capitol investment markets, destroy a source of guaranteed consumer demand which functioned as a floor during down turns in the business cycle, would loose the vast majority of everyone’s life’s savings (75% during the last stock market crash) intermittently which would reintroduce the appalling specter of severe poverty among Senior Citizens after working hard all their lives, in a program that would receive forced guaranteed contributions for a private program designed where approximately 80% of American Senior Citizens would never financially be able to afford to retire, and so, the radical right faction dominated mutual funds would, after taking the Senior Citizens’ money all through their adult working lives, never give any of it back. The working poor, which describe the vast majority (80%) of Americans under the radical right faction plan endorsed by the Republican Party, would work, live, and die in poverty; in fact the sad ironic truth is that the plan would help force down wages, by forcing Senior Citizens to work which would expand the supply of labor and exacerbate the situation, in an effort that would impair our nation’s important marginal labor input – Brilliant!!! The citizens were compelled to participate in support of the radical right faction, who had undermined their prospects for prosperity and confronted the public with an alternative of vice and corruption in the radical right faction’s organized crime, or poverty honestly competing for lousy dead end jobs with Third World labor markets that generated Third World standards of living; and, they contributed to their own demise by being motivated by hatred and fear, which the radical right faction orchestrated corrupt campaigns of contrived heinous acts of violence that both occasioned and provided pretences for popular prejudice, which reflected the bigoted biases of the radical right faction’s ruling elite. They swelled the radical right faction’s criminal organization with subordinate tyrants that included the now familiar liars, cheats prostitutes, perverts with their elderly pimps, child abusers, sadists, slanders, extortionists, torturers, tormentors, assault and batters, rapists and murders; and, they in general suffered the radical right to have total dominance over their domestic ranks. No diverse and dissident opinions were tolerated, to help brake the radical right faction’s extremist conduct. The cause of Liberty, was actually presented in the radical right propaganda machine’s TV shows and movies, as being chaotic and dangerous, which meant the foundation for Democracy was only receiving prudent and appropriate well reasoned support by one major political party. The Republican Party dominated by the radical right faction was busy pursuing an undeclared revolution that was plainly designed to erode and seriously injure our government, by attacking the Separation of Church and State, Equality, The Checks and Balance System, property rights, and Liberty, all which unite in providing a secure bed rock solid foundation protecting American citizen’s basic Civil Rights from an injudicious domestic attack by the abuse of power; however, regardless of what happened in the three branches of government, to restore Democracy in the USA, the radical right faction’s political pawn Republicans were attempting to insulate the damage they’d done to the country and its Constitution, through a plan that imprudently stacked the Supreme Court with ideological clones who were unqualified for their position and only picked because they were loyal. There were some who were concerned, just as there are today when the radical right faction foolishly repeats the irrational ploy, at these extreme and dangerous developments that were arising in those radical right dominated times of chaos and confusion, when extremist caprice and whim took on the weight of law, ironically usually through immoral-criminal acts. If the radical right dominated Republican Party prevails, the two party system will be broken by money; and, we will experience a revolution, where a radical right factional tyranny will rule and extinguish any residual impulse of Liberty, with all of its consequential blessings and benefits. If that happens, then the light of Democracy will become extinguished and all freedom loving, responsible and moderate citizens will have to wait for the weight of vice and corruption to collapse this political order dominated by the radical right controlled Republican Party. The Republican Party had never been dominated by one exclusive ideology before, observe the well funded radical right political PACs that exist exclusively to serve the function of totally dominating the Republican Party, which exist without any healthy counterbalance, and its existence was always based on a broad coalition that formed a continuum of balanced representative s beliefs within the Republican Party that reflected a cross section of almost all of our nation’s diverse interests, and that reflected a profile of America’s pluralistic population that was in excess of 250 million people. But, now the radical right faction has risen to ascendancy, and, the peril first identified, after WWII in the early stages of the Cold War Era, by Republican President Eisenhower, in his fare well address to the nation, has become an unfortunate reality that negatively effect every American from tormentor to tormented. The radical right faction revolution has acted like a fire, which purged the Republican Party of healthy moderating diverse elements, and it has left only dross behind, which comprises only one vice ridden and corrupt homogenous element that oppresses and impoverishes spiritually and materially.

It is the intention of Rumor Mill, to continue to express its thoughts and opinions in subsequent treatises, concerning the ensuing developments that evolved about the country after the radical right faction’s Revolution; and, to examine the effects good, bad and neutral of contemporary faction and demonstrate to the extent that my modest ability and faltering health permit, and, that no tenable argument can be raised in refutation to these serious contentions advanced during these deliberations.
