WAITING
Only your love comes close to making me feel,
as warm and secure as I do nestled in His hands.
That’s why it’s grown so dark and late on this Winter’s day,
the rain rattling against the empty black pane.
They come with their rules and laws to bind and oppress me,
little understanding that the function of law is to protect people’s rights;
rather than facilitate someone’s hate filled efforts to hurt,
which can never be anything but wrong.
That’s why I always escape from them,
while I continue to wait for love to help them heal.
People blame me, and call me lazy;
this is only a feeble effort to justify their evil behavior, by vilifying their victims.
The stores are closed and the streets are half deserted.
Those who’ve come to whore and entrap have finally left frustrated and full of spite
and malice.
Only your love, and our children’s happy laughter, fills me with warmth,
and makes me feel as I do nestled in His hands, while waiting to return home.
A DOLEFUL SILENCE
Forced to reside in an abject state
reduced to wretched servitude as a base sycophant,
a felicitous savant confined in a desolate dessert,
though comfortably quartered in a cage,
I was daily coercively confronted
with the specter of starvation.
The economic impact of faction:
while subjects starved in chained subjection,
I measured the harmony in the music of celestial spheres.
‘Till sick of the weeping sores, of flesh rubbed raw from tyrannical yokes,
that arrogant vice ridden knaves afflicted others with, from their cruel oppression;
egotistically contending that no one could exist except as they thought fit,
corruptly prostituting, perverting, raping, murdering, and child abusing;
as they chained children to ignorance, and poverty, and hate poisoned lies –
they called life.
And, the erroneous belief that no one but they could think, was the horrible depth
that their all too willing self-serving self-delusions irrationally descended,
in pursuit of profits based on other’s expense.
ANOTHER SLEEPLESS NIGHT
Another night subject to sleep deprivation,
which wishes to wear down my resolve and leave it broken to bits;
with my worn out body, pain wracked and to exhausted
even to utter a moan. But, my brain rages with divine righteous fire
that I wouldn’t put out even if I could.
The ashes are already sifting down into smoldering states of desolation,
where my body is beginning to become a painful ruin;
and, where time drags on through dark dreary domains.
After freedoms defeat, by fear driven factional oppression,
Tyranny corruptly engorges itself, like a huge bloated leech;
while, men, women, and children are chained to ignorance
and yoked to poverty, by the capricious prejudicial whims of this stupid age’s
blind, spiteful bigots. I can’t sit silent suffocating in their poisonous hate, I’d explode;
so, the radical right’s paid prostitutes, perverts, and child abusers stalk me
through dark deserted streets; they’ve failed miserably trying to adulterously seduce me,
so they’re reduced to vainly trying to sadistically torment me,
as adumbrated I sorrowfully merge with faceless shadows
that dissolve in the steady rainfall emanating from the night.
DEPARTURE
A pre-dawn wake up call,
where sleep silently slips away
down surreal corridors.
This is a sumptuous four star resort,
where the radical right sadistically tormented,
and
sinfully prostituted, and perverted at
The glistening red chariot-car stood,
its shiny steel surface a shallow mirror
reflecting in the dark;
it impatiently waits to carry our departing souls.
There is no use laying partially devoured by bed sheets,
the coffee maker’s rictus directs me to deteriorating roads,
whose signs say where we’re going.
There’s no use listening to the morning lies on radio and TV,
all I hear is the language of my poor beating heart.
We move on hesitantly, already there is traffic.
My soul has changed vehicles,
and from the ruins of my sleep
I’m back in high school,
listening, while fellow inmates
are subject to interrogation:
“How are our Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence
related
to
the teacher asks a football player –
He may as well have been speaking ancient Greek.
One can’t help but hope,
but when reality is fabricated on TV
and
like a corpse lying in state,
like in a fairy tale somewhere in a mythical land,
like
and the Gods carry on scandalously.
I watch my classmates, is anyone awake,
has anyone died yet of boredom?
They erroneously think that their lives and these lessons
intersect like a Vein diagram –
called the null set.
I could answer, but I’m too depressed;
besides, in the back of the class
we’ve spontaneously started a chess tournament.
In the dark, we’re pulling up to the airport
ingloriously extricating me out of my youth and history.
It looks like an aquarium,
where aggressive tormentors arrogantly banter;
they’re laughing at stealing an unsuspecting co-worker’s car,
saying, “That’s how it is!” and unfortunately their right.
He’s a nice fellow they’re trying to condition to hate, with lies and deceit.
I look at the parking lots overflowing with darkness.
Darkness blew along the valley, filled with streets
where cars run, enveloping their solitary occupants.
I’m wheeled through long crowded corridors,
while I’m told what he’s been told to say.
He echoes more like a parrot than a person who thinks.
Boarding the plane we’re herded through shoots,
the announcer keeps warning us
about the terrorist peril.
Then, I’m hurtling down the dark runway
flying into the future,
we depart from the still dark city, where traveling lights drive down unseen roads,
into a night sky that’s empty and vertiginous.
In the East, could dawn finally be modestly arriving?
THE REDWOOD GROVE
I’m seeing red,
red trunks, red cones, red spent needles
and sweeping way above among the red temple columns
is a canopy of light green.
In your mute eloquence
you effortlessly say
all that I’ve tried, too,
with so many dull phrases over so many lack luster years.
If I had any semblance of wisdom
I’d live like when I was young,
floating free and happy,
rather than writing dark and oppressive Truths.
As things stand I read voluminously
and live seeking after Truths,
found only after digging arduously to the root of things,
with its ponderous heavy silences and tear nurtured soil.
OUT OF
Out of the morning mists
words blunder toward me
born from the full grown woman.
And, I look into your care worn face
sun streaming in with what promises to be a lovely day
that I’ll not get to live.
I’m here less and less,
like a heart distracted with love,
my body brimming with pain -
the dissonant daughters of tyranny rejoice.
STAR GAZE
The huge humped back mountain,
whose hulking presence skulks at my window
hesitating before conducting the morning miracle
bringing obsidian boulders the size of buildings
and igneous cliffs shear as the precipitous moment.
All rising lofty above the shadowy seas
where evergreen forests spread expansively around my house.
Do the woods hold sway inside the house,
expounding their world of leaf and feather?
What will be its norm of behavior between bookshelves, sofas, and end tables
near burning pools of electric lights,
what will happen to its lattices of sunshine and shadow,
where linear phonetic scripts mar pure white parchment?
The inhabitants haven’t noticed being distracted with the daily wonders
and ablations, the man of the house searches his sepulchral depths
for various sibilant syntaxes to fathom their woodwind tongues.
A revealing white blanket covers the mysterious river,
who runs in long veins that end in mountains masses of its own
standing inverted above the seabed on its head.
It races along at a cool 32 feet per second squared
perfectly plastic it forms whatever translucent shape that embraces it.
Its similar, yet different, to the star strewn space around us
that too is perfectly plastic and quite clear about most things
but its basic spherical shape, its laconically perforated
and surges with undulating rhythmical tides.
But, above it all perched on top of its pinnacle
one star looks down and calls out to its nearby neighbor
dangling at the end of its fragile thread,
“If he who dreams, within this dream within a dream, wakes – will we all be dead?
A
PORTRAIT OF
They were made to withstand the rough hard surfaces
where even igneous edges are dull and smooth enough to stand on
and support and hold the souls in the hollow of their protective skins.
They’re treated like a portrait for the very first time in history
and in the harsh light of the exhibition hall, they sensed something spiritual in themselves
and the nascent comprehension of the physiognomy inherent in personal effects.
From remote regions of memory moved experiences that stepped toward the pristine time
with an unknowable predetermined certainty, whose inexorable workings form life itself
to the core of its character down to the great toe which determines a person’s balance.
And, while the intense concentrated attention lasted revealing this character’s balance
and base of support shoes unobtrusively lend from its domain
to the person, and the miasmic experiences that shaped the person.
They called this grueling intense perception brilliant
that came from gentle regions of the heart, where love reigned supreme
stymied at the other end of passionate synapses and pulsating veins.
These things, stamped with their owner’s character, understood
life was a transient, fragile thing, here today, and then, worn out, moving beyond
the artificial limits of human awareness.
They remembered very little of the decisions and ideas that had shaped them
during the short span when the World came in contact
with the incredible vital spiritual energy that flowed through and emanated from the man
leaving an amazing impression with its beatific vision
that touched objects of even the lowliest stature,
and grew from within to outward,
“till the overwhelming time came when one could no longer call objects inanimate:
because, of the inherent spirituality
that radiates throughout the universe
permeating every object with its divine love.
HER HAPPINESS
Her happiness knew no bounds,
as laughing she simply stated,
“If all you eat is sweets
your teeth will rot and fall out of your head.”
She is amazingly strong
for one so small, she’s strong
as her love for this
her last child – a son.
I’ve spoken for long months
to the listening womb,
it is strong, too, and restless.
It wants to be free of its dark constraint, her happy womb.
Its an auspicious time,
the cord will be kindly cut, and a new knot tied.
We will depose and discard the corrupt old faction,
but, we will be kind and wise.
Her words and laughter are joyful,
her skein hair falls in wild disarray.
He looks toward the sound of my voice,
he recognizes it from the womb’s infinite dark silences.
Holding him in my arms,
I show him the vast universe
that is contained within the small circumference of his head.
He holds the tip of my finger in his tight little fist.
He gazes up in wonder,
at the voice he’ll soon ignore;
and, his dream merges with my dream.
Then, they separate and each goes down its own path.
Her words are weary
and touched with delight,
I hand her back the future, and we smile as one;
and, at that moment, I would’ve denied her nothing!
A FALL LESSON
All Fall I’ve observed the leaves of the trees slowly changing,
each week on my way to the library. They were more beautiful than the rest,
being planted around the hi-rise building in a special effort to improve the grounds
of the first of its kind, lost in the middle of suburbia; in a gesture that was, well nothing,
if not appeasement.
Today, I’m out among the raindrops,
which have fallen on the first leg of their journey back to the sea,
looking for the leaves that were more radiant than the rest;
because, they alone realized that they would loose their startling beauty forever.
So, I’m out searching through these piles of leaves,
and, alerting the soft, fertile earth,
to placate that special memory which I alone possess.
The house across the street is where I grew up,
and while now all the siblings have departed, with children of their own,
and both parents have long been dead;
still, the building that sprouted up replacing the nursery,
annually produces the finest leaves in the city,
while I alone enjoy their yield.
But, in terms of my quest, its futile;
there are some things which even God can’t do,
in spite of good will and best intentions.
And, the silent assistance of the gray Autumn sky
and the steady sibilant rainfall through the chill damp air
won’t make any difference, trying just makes things worse.
And, what’s good for God, then think how much more so for man.
That’s why its so important for man to try to understand,
and know what can and should be attempted, and even then have the wits to go slow,
to minimize any damage and correct it,
before its damage grows to immense; or worse, through blind pride
we become habituated to gross mistakes, like arrogantly pretending we can improve
God’s plan; because, to deceitfully compel that which should not be done
breeds vice and corruption, and its just plain foolish,
besides, in extreme cases, it can become a blasphemous sin.
Because, sometimes the cure is worse than the malady,
and, sometimes its best to nothing at all!
And, it’s important to have enough experience,
to be virtuous and wise enough to know the difference!
MORNING MIST
The Autumn air stood still and cold
the perfectly smooth river
ran through the heart of the city
a mirror reflecting everything
from fall leaves to mist obscured skyscrapers.
Along the verge covered with discontented dew
stands alacrous childhood watching
while we flow endlessly by.
There is a ruined row boat beached
well upon the shore with waves of grass
breaking around her grim visaged bow.
What is this mysterious river
darkly reflecting unveiled realities
where we immerse ourselves in its immensity
and get cold and wet, and where various vessels
ply the waters, crew boats beating syncopated time,
sail boats becalmed in their silent beauty
and the river trade with their bifurcating wakes
break the mirror into a thousand confused reflections,
where I see myself emerged
wondering what this business is all about,
to be and then not to be,
to only have been.
And, the I who can only guess,
turn myself into a misty dream,
in order to quietly rise and float
past the black boots of the oppressive shadows.
DAYBREAK
Every morning, as light feebly filters into my second story room,
trees curiously come and peer on tip toe into my windows.
In hushed tones, they modestly remind me of the season, and how its nature
that forms the triumvirate base along with reason and God’s goodness, for law.
I’ve an ardent regard for systems of law based on justice,
whose fairness make
rather than, the open hostile adversity inherent in a legal system,
which is based on the codification of the brutal institutionalized abuse of power.
All hope would’ve died in my poor beggars heart,
which is apparent to my friends the pears, peaches, plumb, cherries, and apple trees
who’ve come to know me and feel sorry for my plight, existing in the world
of degenerate apes,
whose corpse sits here daily. Why? They being root bound, vaguely begin to understand.
THE SEA
When no one applies the right words
there is no longer any objective reality.
People are what they’ve become,
which is based on what they’ve thought, said,
and most important, what they’ve done.
People are what they are,
a composite combination of actions
based on emotions and reasons
that form the basis of human experience,
whether good or bad, foolish or wise,
nothing exists when one no longer perceives.
Its like the sea, the sea is;
however, she no longer exists independently,
when we stop perceiving.
The sea is you and me,
or nothing but molecules
combined in waves that crisscross its surface
and currents of strong coursing tides
containing fish and plants –
an independent entity.
Except, for those who dare to dream
and think, free and independent non-programmed thoughts
that spontaneously exist, in the great ocean of ideas.
As I do now!
THE WESTWARD MOVEMENT
Years ago wagon trains rolled wearily West
that are gone now, disappearing in

Oxen would drench their hides in sweat
straining to reach the future with their precious burdens
that were the lives and households of Americans moving forever forward –
with their liberty and legacy of
civilization.
And, horses would labor, too, tirelessly
through the wilderness mistakenly called the Western Dessert,
which really were forest covered mountains, grassland plains,
wetlands and even an occasional inadvertent desert, too.
The stallions, mares and colts all contributed
greeting hardships and fright with calm courage
and steady resourcefulness realizing to falter and stop
before their destination usually meant to die.
There were so many domesticated animals
cattle, pigs, poultry and sheep, and household animals
like dogs and cats who left behind the memory of their sounds and smells;
if possible, I would open my senses and experience it all.
Let my heart beat as it endured everything,
joining the trail in the morning, steadfastly following their dreams.
And, to succeed may my heart’s present rhythms
merge with our freedom loving forefathers, and be reborn, intoxicated with the great
adventure of life.

THE RUMOR MILL
The social, political, and economic effects of contemporary faction on political parties
The injuriously slavish consequences of base sycophancy, which lurked unanticipated, are most clearly shown when literal analogies are drawn between the Roman Republic’s collapse and the United States of America after the period of time from Democrat Pres. Kennedy’s ill fated administration until the rise of the retired actor Republican Pres. Reagan and have been well documented; but, they were indoctrinated into vogue in that infamous reign, and in the subsequent term of his Rep. successor George Bush Sr., and were injudiciously embraced during the factional Revolution in government by the radical right wing who advanced them, and tried to inculcate them into our American cultural bias. Not only the civil branches of government where the Republicans were in control, but the populist movement active during that time frame and the extreme religious (so called) right embraced and co-operated in the capitulation and displacement of which the rise of right wing faction brought to Democratic government. Other nations were reduced to an unofficial suzerainty, too, as in the case of Margaret Thatcher England. The scope of the radical right faction influence and operations spread to a global scale. At home the Ivy League best demonstrates the way academic independence and influence was reduced during this process, from Kennedy’s scholarly work on the Rise and Fall of Great Powers, or, Tuchman’s The Dance of Folly, which serve to demonstrate excellence and substantive independent worth that was subsequently reduced to a level of mediocrity and intellectual impoverishment, in what had previously been the sustained intellectual academic elite of the nation, a comparable diminution was not witnessed since German Universities were utilized as “experts” to confirm the rise of fascism and ideologically pure doctrines during the first half of the 20th Century. In short, the radical right faction dominated Republican Party’s behavior, at this important period of our nation’s history, was such as lead an individual to think they had never believed that diversity and dissent were lawful, and here they differed substantively with the Democrats about the degree of oppression to be employed on society, or, the dangers inherently associated with the radical departures contemplated, which the radical right wanted to precipitously initiate and habituate society to before they were recognized and resistance established by prudent citizens benefiting from non-extreme and non-partisan objective use of reason. Now, it must seem odd that the Democratic ideals of Liberty, Equality and the rest of America’s Civil Rights, which had always formed the foundation for our free and prosperous nation that our US Constitution was responsible for creating and sustaining over the last 200 years, which were firmly founded in reason and substantiated by our nation’s collective experience, in support of a stable society should suddenly no longer maintain their secure hold and continue their vital function of promoting happiness by their positive example, just as the other great social institution promoting civilization, Christianity might be sighted as an example which texts of the Bible piously promoted, as well as other social institutions.
This divorce from Democratic principles will appear more strange if one reflects with what justifiable respect was shown, at this time, to Democratic ideals by politicians of both parties; and, in what an obvious state of economic decay and social chaos the nation was plunged, and how individuals who had pawned themselves, as it were, to the vice and corruption of the radical right faction’s organized crime were reduced, when they came to concurring to superimpose their oppressive tyranny and subordinating other people’s rights to establishing their capricious bigoted biases in their stead, to utilizing vacuous clichés, which were repugnant to the freedom loving members who advocated social models that conservatively maintained Liberty, Equality as the beneficial basis for society. A case in point is the most recent round of unfair poorly designed tax cuts for the wealthy millionaire class of Americans, during a period with massive national debt, inflationary pressure and depressed economic circumstances for the majority of American citizens; a tax cut that would cut health insurance to the elderly and poor children and social services including care for foster children, to list only a few programs that would receive the axe in the radical right lead Republican’s bah humbug economics. The serious business of transmitting information from one generation to the next and training its efficient workforce, its virtuous and independent voters, and law-abiding citizens, its education system might best demonstrate the dishonest negative effect that radical right faction had on society in simple terms. The radical right faction, through its dominance of the Republican Party, advocated a two tiered education system, one part serving 20% of our children with better education in better new schools, initially called charter schools, while the overwhelming majority of our children 80% would be stuck in the old public schools with less money left to spend on their education. This unfair system which cost the US tax payers more money for a worse education for the vast majority of students was supposed to meet the radical right faction’s economic interest’s future labor needs, by making roughly 80% of America’s labor competitive with Third World labor markets, with corresponding Third World standards of living. The remaining 20% of US labor (which was supposed to be roughly equivalent to the radical right subordinate tyrants’ children and children academically advanced who received the superior educations) would be provided with better jobs at better pay, if they met the radical right faction standards – both at work and in their private lives, too. The lower educated people were felt to be easier to manipulate because they’d be ignorant and easier to control, because of lower self-esteem they’d not expect good jobs with futures, benefits and better standards of living. Also, they’d be more apt to believe it was their own personal fault, rather than that they were being ruthlessly exploited, by an economic, social and political system designed for the exclusive benefit of faction; rather, than for the benefit of society as a whole. Initiating this educational effort was a duplicitous campaign of steadily escalating violence (that defied all laws of probability and eliminated the possibility of copy cat crimes explaining away the phenomenon, which was designed to meet the needs of the media-propaganda machine while it tried to undermine popular support of public schools – see previous issues. In preceding years before the radical right’s violent efforts, children would merely drop out of schools, engaging in what in behavioral terms is known as avoidance, and get on with their lives as best they could with the poor prospects provided by unskilled labor jobs. But, whenever the radical right were involved the otherwise inexplicable events would occur, and the act of school violence transpired in the previously noted escalating pattern. After ten years of rejection at the polls, the radical right faction gave up, and they are silently implementing their unfair more expensive two tiered system all across the nation at the local level with staged special elections, which stack the local school boards with members malleable to the will of the radical right faction – central to the process is the two tiered system that exploits our children chaining them with ignorance and poverty all of their lives, which makes them easier to manipulate and exploit to the selfish advantage of faction.
In another
example of radical right faction subordinating other people’s rights, is the
radical right faction opposition to local public campaign reform efforts, where
they oppose providing any public support for candidates running for
office. The reason is obvious, it’s
because currently running for local office is a relatively inexpensive
proposition, compared to the national level of government where a million
dollars is considered minimum for a successful bid, and they can currently
control, with minimal expense, any local elections that are perceived as
important to their factional interests.
Along Came the idea to open up local elections with public supported
campaigns, and the “first things first” campaigns roared into well funded gear
in radical right faction response, which translated means the radical right
faction can no longer control all candidates who run for public office so
cheaply, and the task of maintaining dominate funding ratios necessary to
guarantee continued local control will become significantly more
expensive. It is important to note that
it’s at the local level that the radical right faction can politically
implement their oppressive private agendas, without negative political fallout
and with a minimum of expense, in the recent election its interesting to note
that they claim they want money not for social services, education and health
care for the poor and elderly, which run contrary to the radical right
faction’s revolutionary view of government, but they want money for police and
fire departments, which help to oppress and the insurance industry contain costs. First Things First means more government by
the special interests of faction and their oppressive private agenda, till
we’re a society of base sycophants motivated by fear. A bifurcated society of tormentors and
tormented. These are two important areas
that the radical right faction oppressive tyranny’s interests run opposite to
that of a free and prosperous Democracy.
I’ve heard people who’ve thought it should be so, for them to corruptly
subordinate other people’s rights, the good of the country is equated with the
good of extremist faction, which echoes the ruling elite’s bigoted bias; and,
government policy, like the war in Iraq, which is conducted to increase the
radical right faction’s influence in the region, impoverish the US government
and provide a pretence for privatizing USA entitlements like Medicare and
Social Security, and replace the lost funding basis for radical right corrupt
criminal organization with Iraq oil revenues; which, among a wide variety of
other things, links our own radical right wing fanatics with Middle East
terrorist extremists. This secret
reality is viewed with approbation by the Republican Party attacking and
invading a foreign country for no valid reason, covering up stealing Iraq’s oil
and natural gas resources, OPEC’s third largest reserve of oil and natural gas
in the World, while stealing money from US taxpayers to facilitate the theft of Iraq’s oil and natural gas revenues,
with US taxpayers paying to modernize production facilities with state of the
art technology that maximizes production; and, provides the previously
mentioned pretense for the radical right faction controlled Republican Party to
try and privatize the public Medicare and Social Security entitlement programs,
and because they irresponsibly artificially increased their faction’s
industrial-military profits through bogus foreign wars at great public expense,
and then claiming that this travesty constitutes US national interests. The Republican puppet-president Bush said
that he was misinformed, as though being stupid, imprudent and unjust were a
valid excuse for malfeasant conduct.
Meanwhile, the good citizens of the
The disputes about clichés “your either with us or against us”, “whatever it takes”, and “first things first” demonstrate a disregard for the valid function of Democratic government that represents all its citizens with programs which equally benefit all citizens, while protecting the Civil Rights of its people, rather than making things steadily worse by oppressing and exploiting and treating the US Constitutionally lead government as if it were a superficial exercise in student government, with the radical right extremist faction functioning as a self-appointed governing board of elite faculty members dominating the show behind the scenes; and, government reduced to empty window dressings, smoke and mirrors, and expensive popularity contests, with all of the issues and policies that come to the public presented as pre-approved products for their rubber stamp consumption, rather than careful consideration and due deliberation given to all aspects and interests concerned, with the public welfare and Justice for all given top priority. The Truth is, that the opposition Democratic Party are reduced to maintain paradoxes: thus for instance, they have to filibuster during a vote for tax cuts for millionaires that furthers the radical right Republican Revolution and would result in health care cuts to Sr. citizens and children, and other vital social services, but they vote for fully funding the military budget that functions like a conduit from the public to the private accounts of the radical right’s ruling elite, which helps radical right faction’s oil interests rob Iraq and US taxpayers, while supposedly protecting our interests, which were never at risk, against a terrorist threat that Iraq who had nerve gassed Kurds and drove them from their homes on oil rich lands, and fought a ten year war against Shiite Moslems who we’re supposed to believe Iraq wished to re-arm with weapons of mass destruction!?! And, we are supposed to think no one in the administration was aware of any of this, even though the man in charge during a great deal of these events was the President’s own father. Surely, this has to be a paradox and a very absurd one, too, if we consider that these oppressed people would surely turn the imaginary weapons of mass destruction against Iraq and destabilize the country which is exactly what the US invasion has managed to accomplish, besides exacerbating the USA’s trade deficit, increase the United States of America’s World’s largest Debt in history. The Democrat’s paradox about the Iraq War is troubling, but they are trying to get us out in a timely fashion; and, they support a financially solvent public Social Security System and a public Medicare program, which the radical right controlled Republicans want to privatize and in the case with Social Security privatizing the plan would erode further an already seriously reduced America’s consumer demand, destabilize the World’s money markets and not increase the rate of return, the Republican’s puppet-president would like the American public to forget that the bubble it first created and then burst when the World stock market lost 75% of total market value following the radical right faction’s policies just six short years ago, and this will happen again intermittently under their private plan, which will obviously place everyone’s private life savings and portfolio investments at risk. Thus, again the radical right driven Republican Party, the same party that invaded Iraq and made all the above possible, want to stay the course, while the Iraq US backed police academy is blown up, again, and the Shiite are claiming that the election recently held was a fake, and unfortunately they are probably right, look at the radical right faction controlled Republican Party’s record on elections at home in the USA. What will happen if the radical right faction driven Republican Party continues with the same unsound economic policies and Revolutionary principles that resulted in creating the previously mentioned bubble which burst and stock values restructure again at a reduced level, will they invade another country to make up for lost revenues like Iran, or China? In the case of a privatized Medicare system Republicans want citizens to have to co-pay and pay for a percentage of services received that they can’t afford, which will make a system where the radical right faction’s insurance interests receive money for nothing, because the poor and Senior citizens who qualify will not be able to afford the co-pay and fees, which will increase the ten million more Americans who over the first four years of the current Bush Republican puppet-presidency lost their health insurance and now lack any form of health care. The radical right faction controlled Republican health care plan provides worse health, is the most unfair in the World, most expensive to operate, and before the most recent radical right faction generated cost push inflationary waves was a plan pushing inflationary rates approaching 20% per year. If the radical right Republican health care plan had been implemented the cost each American would have had to pay to keep the plan solvent would at the end of his two terms in the white house have been 160% greater than at the beginning, and that does not count for the additional costs generated from the radical right faction’s oil industries price increases well over 100% which have generated additional continuing waves of cost push inflation. Under the radical right Republican plan the alternative to the increase would be for their plan to collapse and Americans to have no viable health care program.
If we can
credit the current US course of action and expect to proceed with our current
extremist resolutions, as is obviously an effective and justifiable action in
their radical right factional extremist blinded eyes; and yet, will anyone be
able to improve things, with the destruction done and the Supreme Court
paralyzing our ability to correct the damage, when the radical right faction’s
Republican puppet-president’s throne becomes empty in two more years, and the
Democrats strive to correct damage from oppressive avaricious measures without
removing the oppressive policy causes.
If the US is lucky enough not to be defrauded again, and the Democrat
Party finally seems to recognize that the path the radical right faction
dominated Republican Party was pursuing with subordination and disdain for
Equality and Separation of Powers that were designed to protect not only our
Democratic institutions, but our Constitutionally guaranteed Civil Rights,
which are, after all, nothing more than God given personal rights placed in a
social and political context, and that the radical right faction controlled
Republican exploitation and oppression were ultimately incompatible with a
concept of law, which protects the people and the property rights of citizens
and their Liberty and Civil Rights, rather than functions as a punitive
instrument of tyranny. The
puppet-presidencies of
They had demonstrated a duplicitous, brutal administration, which was the progeny of cold hearts and muddled understanding of economics and a lack of comprehension of how good political models of Democratic governments function; and, what is worse it continues today, void of wisdom, destitute of decency, laws to them are to be supported by brute force and their own multi-national terrorism; and, by corrupt and bigoted biases, which was programmed through a deliberate campaign of heinous acts designed to overwhelm reason and leave them clamoring for their own hateful private speculations, or private greed, and other vice driven personal interests. In the halls of their universities, at the center of every community, one sees nothing but their private prisons. Nothing remains of respect and responsibility on the part of citizens even virtues like ambition and religious charity have been debased by extremism from virtue to vice. Fear has replaced precepts by the wise like love, veneration, admiration or natural attachments. There is lacking a basic decency, which should form the basis of societal norms and morays; in stead, our nation sadistically intimidates and torments, rather than evolve free individuals who display well formed personalities predisposed to love our country, rather than personal gain – of course our country should be deserving our love and respect.
Power will
always remain, but what will survive the shock in which mutual forbearance and
pluralistic opinions are obliterated, and, society discovers other worse means
are used for its support – if one kills the dogs, the wolves will return. The radical right faction’s usurpations, in
order to subvert America’s established Democratic institutions, have destroyed
ancient principles over 2,500 years old, and will seize and hold power by
methods similar to those used when it was acquired, by base deceit and heinous
acts of violence and oppressive tyranny that abuses power. When the mutual respect of Civil Rights backed
by Egalitarian Safeguards are lost, subjects will be subject once again, not by
the proudly proclaimed “new” used order shouted by sharp con artists, to old
fashioned tyranny which was once held to be extinct, and we will witness the
assassinations and preemptive murders and terrorist attacks that long litany of
grim and bloody devices, which form factions political code of power, not
evolving from a firm foundation of Truth and Honor of the would be rulers and

When
established opinions and the rules of Democracy that have stood the test of
time are stripped away, the full extent of the loss can not be estimated. And yet, very imprudently the radical right
faction strive to precipitously do just that, they create a contrived crises,
and force their private agenda on a community and/or nation, in a reactionary
response quickly before cooler heads can prevail, and reason can think through
the consequences; then, the society in question is stuck with the radical right
faction’s superimposed scenario, which as we’ve painfully experienced, again
and again, with our previously sighted local, national and international
examples that are always exploitive, vice ridden and corrupt. At best, from that moment a nation has no
compass to set a course and govern by; those who lead have no clue where we are
headed and what port we’ll arrive at.
The
Society
tends to have a short term memory when it considers the state it finds itself,
without adequately adverting the linear and lateral
causatory relations by which they were produced, and possible sustained. Nothing is more certain than the triumvirate
foundation of society. The first is
social norms of free pluralistic society – civilization; and, the political
context that organizes society and hopefully helps protect prosperity and Civil
Rights; and, finally the positive function of non-fanatical religion that
promotes good behavior and provides the solace during times of travail that
helps human happiness in this life and the life to come. This is the established basis of a social
order that extends back two centuries of Democracy. Public education that has paid back with
dividends, by promoting thrift and industry, by encouraging progress through
constant growth and new ideas, and by cultivating intellects not controlling
them. Happy if we continue, “indivisible

not progressing to fast that I miss any of the degenerative steps inherent in
this horrible and disgusting route.
Already we notice a repetition of ploys, by the radical right faction
and its political pawns in the Republican Party and subordinate tyrants in the
populist movement that’s degenerated into contemporary organized crime, which
is symptomatic of where there appears a poverty of intellectual conception, a
coarseness and vulgarity derivative of cruelty and barbarity that emanates from
its participants who are victims of a system that promotes extremes and
encourages these behavioral characteristics for outcomes. Their
Why do I diverge so decidedly from the advocates of oppression, who wish to advance these revolutionary principles before those of our ancient Democracy? Because, we are being hurriedly habituated to brutal behaviors that are deceitfully based and would never be embraced if reason were left alone to prevail. Because, when events like these proceed deliberately designed to let passions overwhelm reason mankind’s behaviors will suffer to a corresponding extreme degree with series of tragedies and terrors that belong in the movie theatres and not being deceptively manipulated as the basis of bad policy. It makes me truly ashamed to see such transgressions of mindless pride blasphemously usurp what should be an exercise of due deliberation by our gift of reason assisted by ability and education, and tempered by experience. We watch TV as our primary source of information which means we never have the opportunity to stop and reflect if what we see and hear makes any sense before being bombarded by the next fabrication, what cynics call subordinate tyrants secretly engaging in operations of perverse predation for profit and pleasure, while they publicly shed what seems to be hypocritical tears, all the way to the bank with their tax free bounties; but, what they really represent are tears of folly!
In fact the movie house is more appropriate to watch events that are more carefully weighed for entertainment value, than considered in terms of intrinsic merit for public policy and impact on the rights of humanity. The majority of average citizens if left to follow their own moderate instincts based on a natural log rhythmic distribution pattern, would not tolerate these odious Machiavellian schemes tethered to decades of intense, propaganda efforts that reflect the interests and personal prejudices of the ruling elite of the radical right faction who often own and always dominate the media. They wouldn’t allow, outside of a horror movie, so much actual crime based on such blatant corrupt advantage. They wouldn’t tolerate these crimes of the “new” old fashioned radical right faction tyranny that currently are posted towards terrorists who are managed and manipulated in factional written and directed scripts. The public has become acclimated to corrupt factional revolutionary principles that create the very worst acts imaginable that are being perpetrated for the benefit of the radical right faction conspirators’ interests, in giving the public’s steadily increasing appetite, like the Roman Empire gladiator shows, for profuse expenditures of treachery, bloodshed, and gore. Unfortunately, how true it is that society once introduced to horrible immoral-criminal acts are soon preferred that previously they wouldn’t even tolerate. Society soon rationalizes expediency as a short cut method that’s preferable to the high road of moral virtue. They rationalize perfidy and murder for supposed public benefit that’s nothing but disguised personal prejudice, with public benefit and the emotional laden excuse “for children” acting as the pretext with corruption and murder the tragic end result; ‘till avarice, malice revenge, personal dislikes, greed, fear and warped personal ambition can satiate their insatiable appetites for the unjustifiable. Such are the consequences contingent on losing the staid felicity inherent in the Rights of Man; meanwhile, society soon, suffers a strange paradox, it loses, with the radical right faction in the lead, all natural sense of right and wrong. Many other paradoxes might be cited, which were unpredicted and directly advanced by the radical right faction’s revolutionary principles, or which directly resulted from practices employed in pursuit of their private corrupt agenda; but, the examples previously provided should prove sufficient for our present purposes, and demonstrate that such absurdities as these must always arise from irrational and emotional dictated policies and practices of faction.
If the extremists who maintain this indefensible and indefeasible
double standard of our
subordinate tyrants and their political counter parts in the radical right
faction dominated Republican Party had determined to drop these dangerous
principles and corrupt policies, when they rose to ascendancy with the radical
right faction’s puppet-president retired actor Ronald Reagan, and no tolerable
explanation can be provided for their recalcitrance, their behavior would have
been productive of great good, by removing the excesses of extremism and
corrupt aspects inherent in the exploitive policies that radical right faction
came to plague our country. But, while
they worked to transform our Democracy into their radical right faction
oppressive system, they initially were curiously inconsistent. They went further, with a carefully contrived
crack epidemic that conspired to leave them in position to inherit the
This general assessment about the respective states of the principle political parties, at and subsequent to the time of the radical right faction’s Revolution, is I believe, to be accurate and just; and, it may be supported with further particular proofs, of which I refer the reader to, rather than lengthen this already long essay. But, if any doubt remains, let’s analyze the particular parties and principles, and then state our conclusions on how the Republican and Democrat principles measure up.
In
the beginning, there was a loose group of dissatisfied
individuals concerned with making a new start; a faction existed inside the
invisible government that exists inside our elected government with political
and economic ties to right wing interests largely associated with the extreme
right of the Republican Party that had been associated earlier with
There remained another major political party directly opposite to this exclusionary one; a certain number of people, on who the sound principles of good models of Democratic government remained in the full strength of its beneficence. These good people adhered to those sound principles, in their natural sense and full extent, which the Democratic Party openly professed. But yet, the Democrats having re-affirmed these fundamental principles of good government, and distinguished themselves by advocating policies that usually promoted all citizens rights and interests, this majority party who were seriously under funded and handicapped by the transformation of the media, but retained the name Democrat and generally behaved with corresponding propriety.
Historically
American Democracy was built around a binary system formed on one common set of
principles, but they widely differed based on their respective
constituencies. The principle is
contained in a diverse pluralistic broad base continuum of representative interests
that function as a broad based coalition in three branches of government
Congress, Executive and the supposedly non-political Judiciary. The broad based political parties and the
separation of powers into three branches was deliberately prudently designed to
protect the Liberty and the rest of the Civil Rights of the people that they
might be safe, whoever might prevail, from what was perceived as the greatest
threat to our Freedom, prosperity, and happiness, which was correctly
identified as the epidemic folly of extreme domestic factions, because
societies, like people, experience social ills with their systemic corruption
and oceans of blood; and yet, the political system was designed to be
representative of the people, promoting programs and policies that furthered
everyone’s interests after a period of adjustment and compromise. The radical right faction would have us
believe otherwise that their interests are the only interests of the nation
that matter, and only the radical right faction view is valid even thought it
only represents a relatively small area under a natural log rhythmic
distribution curve, which means not only are the majority of citizens views not
being represented they are being subordinated and oppressed, thus exploited and
unhappy. We are dooming the current
generation of children to be chained by ignorance, afflicted by poverty and
yoked to the radical right faction’s deceit based personal bigotry; and,
consequently the biggest flaw of all as if that weren’t bad enough, is that the
radical right faction views all children as potential Peter Pans, in that they
never are permitted the right of growing up, as free and independent adults,
experiencing free will and self-determination, to the extent it doesn’t
directly infringe on the next person’s right to the same. The radical right faction’s belief in
“Whatever it takes” and subordination under the stewardship of an independent
faction controlling their purged political pawn’s in the Republican Party who
in turn control the transformed three branches of government, which gives a
free hand to their subordinate tyrants in their efforts at the transformed
popular movement that’s degenerated into contemporary organized crime. It gives the necessary power base to
super-impose their radical right faction’s private agenda by means of an
absolutist government assisted by a media-propaganda machine, which provides
their vice ridden and corrupt adherents security to plunder and engage in
immoral-criminal behaviors – see last issue for a list of current corrupt
radical right faction controlled Republican Party figures - without either
representing the people, or protecting their Liberties, Civil Rights and
interests. The pursuit of factional
objectives has violated our real security making the
But, there are two observations to be made on the contemporary effects of faction, which are plainly obvious and a natural consequence of the social, political, and economic dynamics involved. First, it confounds in effect the contention it seems to make; since, we as a nation, are not more secure in spite of bloated military budgets, and foreign entanglements of gunboat diplomacy with its several phony foreign wars, in the Post Cold War Era, when our own intelligence bureaus publicly stated that there was no threats in the entire World to the USA and its interests; and, the politics of terror initiated in the Middle East, and then expanded throughout the World, that plays both ends against the middle while it extorts public policy with events like the Sept. 11 terrorist attack. Secondly, it has impoverished the people, with stock market bubbles and crashes, depressions, labor policies that encourage job flight and considers temporary holiday help and service sector jobs as sound employment opportunities, administrative efforts to make US labor markets competitive with the Third World and cut short term labor costs but precipitously decline standards of living that seriously impairs the World’s largest consumer market, energy policies that create waves of cost push inflation that benefit its oil sector interests while raising havoc everywhere else, industrial-military profits that drain the economy while exacerbating the World’s largest national debt and trade deficit problems, and the World economy driven to such disarray that the inherent self correcting characteristics of the business cycle are no longer operational. All of which neglects to mention inadequate education which guarantees future problems with an impaired ability to solve them, and health care scams that siphons off a decade of pay raises and ends up with American workers paying more while receiving less health care benefits that end up being so expensive as to be unaffordable for tens of millions of American workers, while housing costs soared out of sight for millions of Americans, too. This disastrous scenario has finally culminated in an impaired USA consumer market that has divorced the majority of Americans from the so called good economic news of a thriving economy that is based only on limited positive performance of only certain limited economic sectors, while the average American suffers from a depression that’s experiencing inflationary pressure, injured by increasingly impaired marginal labor inputs, eroded consumer demand and the negative impact of exploitative factional government spending patterns developed as an inferior substitute for competent economic programs and development. Now based on this tottering economic foundation that’s constricting as it erodes rights and prosperity, those who complacently support the radical right faction Revolution in government and media might have, based on faction’s incompetent avaricious performance, been justified in having misgivings, against the vice ridden and corrupt radical right faction driven government, whose axioms and principles for the Constitution impoverish while they oppress, but they resolved to submit sincerely and adhere to a new tyrannical establishment that they personally benefited from, by becoming immoral-criminals for pleasure and profit by sadistically tormenting targeted citizens to imprudently extort society and unjustly motivate people by fear, because ever increasing poverty seemed the only other alternative. But, the two parties continue to function by two separate sets of principles, the radical right faction Republican Party by the Revolutionary system, and the Democrat Party by the old sound principles of Democratic government, which meant the two parties functioned based on two very different conclusions. The best example of the Democrats is Democratic President Clinton. The radical right faction Republican Party continued to swear allegiance to a Constitutional government that they pretend to support that their election fraud, extortion of the citizens, their subordinate tyrants and Republican government policies subverted. This was done to further the radical right faction perfidy, to sanctify corruption to remove the sacred boundaries between right and wrong, vice and virtue and base policy on perjury, to teach mankind to call good evil and evil good.
Such
was the dichotomy that rent the US government subsequent to the radical right
faction Revolution, transforming the United States of America government, into
a tyranny and the media into a Goebbel propaganda machine that manufactured
public consent and beguiled a trusting American public into acquiescing to it,
and left the bi-party system operating on two separate sets of principles, with
only minimal agreement on domestic oppression and international terrorism. The first of these the domestic oppression
has become entrenched in American society and it continues to impoverish as it
dichotomizes American society into those who sadistically torture and those
dissidents who are tortured. The second
principle was equally wrong but couldn’t be reputed without great political
difficulties, for one can not oppose a corrupt terrorist threat designed to
extort public policy without being made politically vulnerable, where public
information is based on a media-propaganda machine, whose function is to
further factional interests at public expense.
It may be bold asserting this, since if we view events since the
Revolutionary era we shall find several personal tragedies to illustrious
people, who invariably were dissident to the personal bigotry or factional
economic interests of the radical right faction. That people unqualified have
been advanced whose only qualification has been loyalty in the
puppet-presidencies, the executive cabinet and Supreme Court appointments is
too notorious and dominant a persistent pattern to be denied. On the one hand the vice ridden and corrupt
subordinate tyrants reflecting the personal prejudices of the radical right
faction ruling elite; and, on the other hand, a fear motivated sycophantic
society, which is a social pattern as old as tyranny. And, the prevalence in society of people so
habituated and hardened as to express as meritorious and embrace behaviors that
hypocritically they have to hide, while continuing and avowing the approbation
of oppressive tyrannical principles and a brutally base double standard, so
repugnant to every notion and belief that resides in the hearts of social
beings capable of reasoning, confirms that this sorry state of affairs is
currently prevalent in the USA. Further,
we know how the terrorist acts and heinous crimes orchestrated in the
media-propaganda machine in politically motivated acts of violence has historically
been used abroad for some time, and how embraced during times of war, like the
Cold War, they unfortunately have a propensity for coming home during the
ensuing periods of peace; and, they can overwhelm the most serious minded,
reasonable people, and cause them to act on the most absurd beliefs; and, they
cause honest individuals to act on unjustifiable principles, or worse on no
principles at all, according to the objective of a steady diet of prevailing
passions and programmed prejudices that are presented to them, in orchestrated
efforts that direct them to hate. This
has been the case since the radical right faction Revolution began, and since
we are still bogged down in “First things first”; and, there are some who must
be realizing by now that this path of tyranny is a doomed one way ticket which
society treads forever. And, this is an
absolutely unexceptional case that can not be corrected except by resurrecting
Democracy on a basis of Liberty, Equality and Egalitarian Safeguards that
protects people and private property; or, waiting for the static situation to
collapse under the ever increasing weight of its vice and corruption, which it
inexorably must do.
