PARADOXICALLY
The city slumbers as I rush down the street,
above, the sky flows a river between green branched banks,
whose radiant surface reflects
the blue brilliance of early morn.

It shines with the intensity of a thousand suns,
while beneath its waves the world rotates in slow motion -
dragging through mankind’s icy sludge of impure sewage.
“Ooze,” fools proudly proclaim, “is everywhere,
poisoning everything with its stinking filth.”

In a similar manner life flashes past,
a rapid, joyous flash glinting brightly;
and, in spite of everything,
paradoxically breaks my mouth into a smile,
as laughter radiates from my eyes.

Still, my scarred heart greaves,
nothing will heal the weeping wound
made by desolate misfortune.
My promise will pass in utter futility,
as this persistent sadness constantly oppresses my soul.

The dawn breeze is bitter and cold,
over the valley floor a flood of shattered dreams
spreads its shadowy darkness
which weighs me down.

Deep in this well of apathy,
I’m numb to any affliction;
Fame and fortune are meaningless items
that leave me totally indifferent:
without liberty all of God’s blessings become blasse,
and, nothing can bring me hope.

Half-decapitated and left dangling,
as an example by the right wing vigilantes to beware;
the dry branches see Summer once more,
while fresh fissures appear in the anvil Earth;
which reels beneath the blows of the lemon meringue Sun’s
hammer light, as distressed foliage withers and dies.
Never again will its green features
be crowned in colorful garlands.
 

  GOTHIC ELEGY
“Ah, twilight,” I whisper to the descending evening,
“is a sedated patient, whose heavy, even breathing is the cosmos
in the act of creation, with its air molecules repeatedly colliding in & out, again & again.

And, with heavy eyes dimming with sleep, I shut fast the window
with a crescent moon and the evening star,
engraved white and blue brilliance in its crystal clear cut glass.

However, if it weren’t the bewitching twilight, and the days magic portal,
the moment guarded by dragons and unicorns,
when satyrs satiate their thirst on dew condensing on magical herbage.

If it were only my mother rocking, in a droning monotone,
her still-born youngest son in the bullet proof vest of my father.

If it were merely the skeleton of some poor forgotten corpse,
Imprisoned behind the dry wall, futilely scratching with its bloody fingers!

If it were only my grandfather, raising from the yellow and faded
photograph and handing me the family Bible with his honest work misshapen hands.

But, its not, its only king George the rat who gnaws at my genitals
and plunges his steel tipped tail, red hot from the fiery furnace,
into my terror stricken eyes.
 
 

  ANOTHER WANDERER
I wander in the light, an exile
evening of translucent waters.

The air satisfied,
sizzles with serene smoke.

Torn from the living,
a vagrant heart,
I’m impotent limit.

For Thy gracious gift
of eloquence, I pay
severely, Lord.
 
 
 

Extricate me from the
legions of dead:
each has stolen their subsistence
and their spouse.

I’m only a man
living in their contrived delusions,
in what’s supposed to be Hell.
 
 

 SINGULARITY
The towering cedars stood mute witness,
to the act of singularity; what difference
does the nocturnal notes of the owl make,
when it hoots its approbation; among the green leaves
the forest’s silent witnesses simply smile,
as they silently give their acquiescence;
let the Sun beneficently beaming its abundant brightness
stand stock still to land  the holy union of their twin fates.

Coupled days and nights in nests among the thistles and thorns
they lie together, the cut grass assuaging each sweet sensation;
consummating pure paradigms of commitment,
the couple seek to make harmoniously complete the paradox inherent in life’s duality.
Now recognized by state and sanctified by church, in holy bonds of matrimony
that seek to institutionalize our free and sacred state
and recognize for propriety’s sake convention.

Bird’s warily watch, from the green leaf choir
what to people, intruding the woodland thorough fares,
seem a chaotic contemporary tower of Babel;
what an honor guard, with flying colors, the hushed whirr of their wings!
Words ornament the night, like stars the evening sky,
let ethereal clouds of smoke bless the soft bank bed
where, bedded like twin angels, two meet and fuse together,
burning with mutual desire as they become as one.

From this sacred instant on
wind born pollen softly strewn on its broad back
crier announcing a rarified seed so extraordinary
that every syllable set teeming with life and liberty in this fecund land
prolifically producing exotic flowers and fruit and children natural and happy,
to accompany Rustem and Ulysses and be as steadfast as Brutus and erudite as Longinus
let seed meet with seed and flesh formed, and each step be free and honorable.

 STUDIES OF INSOLENCE
You’d take the World to bed, vile right wing whore!
Your boredom rots your soul, stealing your humanity.
Each day you ply your trade you require some fresh soul’s heart,
to keep your fangs fit and razor sharp.
Your eyes shine, like N. Y.’s Times Square, or Las Vegas’ Strip
illuminated at night by an unnatural light; which knows nothing
of the laws of natural beauty; thus, they slavishly serve stolen power –
studies of insolence.

Blinded by pride, deaf and senseless system, if an agent for good,
fertile in torture, contemporary vampire thirsting people’s blood,
with all your unnatural appetites, why don’t you turn pale with shame and horror
and see your beauty blemish before any honest mirror?
Before being recruited by this mighty evil
didn’t you recoil in revulsion, who are so skilled and clever in their service,
since some deformity of Nature uses you in its foul plans,
o daughter of Delilah, queen of iniquity, princess of sin-vile beast:
do you think God who is good could create such a filthy excrement of human behavior?
O exulted, stinking sewer!  O sublime, miserable shame!  O subtle, fall from grace!
 
 

  THE GIFT
When I’ve stopped playing
blind man’s bluff with hideous faced Death

God will grant me one gift,
to turn into a Han Dynasty landscape.

A sapphire sky
with a golden Sun,

and a poet dressed as a civil servant-scholar
I’ll watch you step from your bath;

and, blood pooling beneath the fresh slain deer
the hunter bends down ,

his red stained knife in hand,
in mist shrouded emerald mountains

where green bamboo groves grow
and exquisite orchids blossom no dreams have ever imagined,
 

and, fragrant vines stoop toward translucent green grass
in the ethereal light of early dusk.

And, diminished with distance,
clean as a rain scrubbed sky,

a wonderful work of art:
God’s gracious gift, a piece of happiness

some sage contemporary courtier,
a businessman with high connections

will hear about me, respect my work
and what I’m trying to do - tough and perceptive.

His terror struck, stupid time
will wrap around us.

Vice and corruption wont exist for him,
and he will respect people and friendship.

Finally, without fuss or fanfare,
the old pain and misery will end.

My old dream will bear fruition:
and everyone, everywhere will respect one another’s rights,
as they would have their own rights respected.
 
 

 THE EMERALD ISLE
Between the towering trees, where it was said
no poets were ever homegrown before,
a slandered, freedom-loving poet sits, who’s grown up here,
where the stones and shadows know his name.
In the dense garden, like one of God’s jewels brilliantly displayed,
day, an open wound, gapes; an island of solitude, in the city’s immense sea of sounds,
song birds foraging for food and shelter enjoy its leafy bowers
the twilight air is crystal rarified, in an exhausted exhalation.

The crystal, be it observed, scatters the interfered with light.
When we were young and evening descended a dusky feather;
we danced and drank from cut crystal glasses,
while smoke slowly swirled around embracing our happiness,
for things like that transformed the mind numbing daily monotony
into mysterious magical moments; but, then there appeared
the well paid, right wing, vigilante thugs, whose prostitutes and Judases,
with their perverting subliminal technologies,
assassinated and oppressed all the so called “bad apples” one at a time.
The haunting, dolorous cry of night birds pierces the deepening blue shadows,
while the exploited foreign laborers finish harvesting the heavily laden fruit.
A white egret stalks the trembling rushes, where syllables volley contemporary phrases,
as teams of sick sycophant souls echo stupid and vapid clichés,
in the living hell of contemporary things profound.
 

 FROM MY UPSTAIRS WINDOW
From my upstairs window, the sky stretches out
Over the hills and valley, like a vast sunlit sea;
whose waves wash over me, leaving behind its gentle coolness
clinging to my head and hands.
And, I immerse myself in your cool, calm caress
shivering with your loving showers of sunshine
that the extremity of late afternoon will turn oppressive
but, in the meantime happiness floods my house
with the wren’s early morning song.

In pellucid pools of red burnished gold,
cradled in your Sun warmed currents embrace,
time pauses with your waxing and waning
its logarithmic teeming with warm hands,
I feel your fingers gently caress my body
now attentively, now absent mindedly.

Sky what does its cosmic song say?
From the beginning of time
strange singularities and deep mysteries you’ve tried to explain,
only to find our stupidity beyond remedy.
With persistent murmuring your insistent tongue
calls our attention to your clues that stretch across the universe –
directing us towards truths past our comprehension.

Over tidal pools of time, serene as an infant’s eyes,
pour your foaming waves; if only I could
reach the soul concealed deep within
that star decorated heaven!
But, humbly I strive in vain:
to explore and describe your infinite domain
but, it’s not mankind’s destiny today,
in our stupid and paranoid age.
 

What other secrets lie hidden in your abyss.
Love is the fabric of Heaven,
whose submission can never be feigned
with self-serving dissimulation, wealth and power/?
Roll on wonderful river,
pour over my head your cosmic tides
until with nervous apprehension
I turn my life towards home.
And, I return, once more, to your beautiful side
and watch your great soul bear before you
everything in your joyful love;
while, the tides that are simple manifestations
of your presence reflect on the surface
the radiant stars, the resplendent Sun, and the reflective Moon;
until, your solitary joy, your weary wanderer’s way is done,
the fiery forge that bore you the mother’s womb
where life began for us all.
 
 
 

 FANATICAL PURSUIT
Fanaticism pursues its fugitive
the heart of water,
as it evaporates into self exile;
and the demonic extremists amazed -
photons of fire;
the fecund Earth’s flowering
births that annihilate air with each breath
in a colliding escape called song.

Desire is the tyrant,
the invisible conqueror worm,
devouring its prey
swimming through flesh
to its home in the skull.
 
 

 ANOTHER BIRTHDAY
A soul approached, humbly with sad reproach,
to the feet of the Lord, who regally sat on His throne;
and, thus petitioned a long list of just grievances:
“Again my birthday is at hand, and year follows year,
only to see my situation worsen.  Only
silence greets my solitary plight, no fond affection to found!
I require some small measure of love,
a little beam of light to break the dreary darkness.
I have never done anything wrong, or hurt anyone;
And yet all those weighed down with their vast host of evil transgressions
hypocritically parade their vices as so many virtues.
In thanks for my many kindnesses, I receive scorn and slander.
Nor has hate ever succeeded in taking root in my heart.
If ever an injury or injustice transpires that I catch wind of
I always help by contrasting it with the Truth.
Who has ever experienced as much perfidy
and contended with as much calumny?
Who has been so intoxicated with love?
Who has ever been blessed both with giving and receiving love?
And yet wormwood and vinegar have been my daily fare.
To see this wasteland mock all that I love and hold dear.”.
From on high, God glanced down,
but still He continued writing in His book, the universe
the pen marks everyone’s path.
Isolated, desolate – “So what is your problem?
The grass will still be green next Spring
Fire still provides light and warmth even if neglected in the darkest night.
Everyone must confront hate and make their own way.
Brace up!  Be a man!  Dry your eyes, and be good.
 
 
 

    RUMOR MILL
 The Rumor Mill believes that the responsibility of good government is to the people being governed.  Further, it feels that this is axiomatic to good government no matter what form.  However, in today’s Democracies, where running for office is big business requiring millions of dollars – over $ 200 million has already been acquired by the Republicans for the upcoming elections – this fundamental fact central to good government is forgotten.  In its stead is allegiance to the moneyed interests that manipulated the media into electing a special interest “package”.  The primary characteristic isn’t ability, or even an appropriate set of acquired skills; but, rather connection and sycophancy to faction and its special interests that almost invariably run contra variant to the interests of the general public.  What else would warrant such a huge expense, but the expectation of receiving even greater returns on their expenditures.  The Republican Party under the puppet administration of George Jr. is a perfect case in point, with economic policies based on greed and a foreign policy developed for self-interest and designed to distract the public and financially undermine domestic entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare.
 To make matters worse, in the foreign affairs arena the Republican administrations meddle in countries like Russia and Iraq, where they impoverish the US nation, while searching for factional dominance over oil rich countries?  For in those subject countries, there are the oppressors and the oppressed; powerful individuals, families, classes and clans; and, the dominant groups are the ones courted by our own dominant right who then provide them with access to the controlled and manipulated US media, which gives them access to America’s public.  The knot of a privileged few corruptible individuals, to the special interests of US right wing faction, who then demand the privilege to be surrogates for the US right wing and corruptly control their dominated countries oil and natural gas resources for the benefit of the U.S. right wing faction, a faction that resents any attempt to expose their corruption and view efforts at protecting the masses from exploitation and extortion as a personal wrong.
 The Rumor Mill believes that the preceding obvious observations, if corrected do not automatically guarantee good government.  The public at large will never understand the complexities inherent in successfully transferring power within other countries, but then it doesn’t need to.  What is necessary is that an adequate objective information flow reaches the American public so that a few intelligent and informed individuals on the subject may form correct knowledgeable opinions, which will then serve to guide the rest of the public.  Currently, the US right wing owned and dominated media form an extensive propaganda machine designed to establish the parameters of discussion and manufacture public consent on any and all issues that confront the US public, whose opinions at present are actively manipulated with injurious consequences to both the U.S. and Iraq’s citizens.
 The Rumor Mill feels that the U.S. radical right is attempting to run Iraq indirectly through the Republican Party.  Its efforts have been to try and provide Iraq with bad domestic rulers to replace our bad Republican rulers, which the Iraq citizens have to date successfully rejected.  These efforts prove the expensive failure of our Republican Party and their ill advised efforts to try and directly dominate another foreign country.  It is fundamental in foreign affairs that any country that attempts to govern a distant dependency, inhabited by a dissimilar people, will inevitably fail.  The efforts at establishing a puppet government have correctly been identified and rejected by the Iraq people.  Not surprising, the efforts by the Iraq people to establish a free and independent government have been rejected by the Republicans; who ejected, by military force, the previous freely elected government of Iraq.  After all, the right wing Republican surrogates, who are puppets of the radical right, didn’t fight a war to oust a government (who they did not approve) only to see elected another independent government that they neither approve nor control.  Thus we watch an expensive mistake continue - the mistake of a U.S. military presence in Iraq.
 The Republican’s policy of under funding public higher education will guarantee continued similar mistakes in both the near and distant future.  Inadequate monies will be spent on related American Universities departments such as Middle East indigenous foreign languages.  Numerically unpopular nonrenumeratively rewarding programs like Cultural Anthropology, and Sociology will also be seriously under funded, so a cycle of insufficient students for programs, in fields with inadequate job opportunities, will continue that today’s Republican tax policies will seriously exacerbate.  Problems such as the preceding have not even been identified let alone addressed, and they do negatively impact American foreign policy.  The repressed academic environment further impairs the US triumvirate leadership structure’s ability to generate and develop alternative policy options.  The factional radical right’s efforts to control all aspects of life in the US will seriously impair their ability to successfully cope with this issue, which requires a free society not an oppressed one.
 It is useless to point out that in Iraq, expectations for a government that reflects the entire population is necessary to develop effective models of good government.  But, before they can become a reality in Iraq it must first transpire in the dominating foreign country, in this case the United States, a political out come the radical right have no intention of realizing.  Under existing circumstances it cannot be expected that a complete and operational identity of interest between the radical right dominated US and Iraq will be established. Good models of government are not compatible with the current conditions.  There remains but an imperfect choice of inferior alternatives.  The problem is, how to construct the Iraq government that, under current political difficulties, will reflect the broadest base of Iraq’s constituency possible.  And, that the government should have as its first priority establishing a precedence of good government.  The weaknesses of a democracy are its own strengths, it is subject to the vagaries of public opinion; but, an open society, which has free discussion of competing ideas will be in the best position to develop strong alternative solutions to problems confronting it.  In Iraq’s case it should have no other concern than pursuing its own interests.  Every effort should be made to try and limit profits derived from mismanagement and isolate them to a single small amount: and try and prevent clear biases for individuals like Hussein and classes of interests like the US radical right’s factional interests.
 When the domestic government, of the dominant country, is dominated by factional interests, like the radical right with their raw exercise of unbridled power reserved to them by the Supreme Court; then, that government will inevitably be supportive of that dominant factional power.  In such a case, government will be conducted by an intermediary body of functionaries.  It becomes important that this body be comprised of talented individuals isolated from the vagaries of the dominant countries political considerations.  Further, it should be staffed by independent individuals with specialized sets of skills and knowledge tailored to the regions involved.  However, unfortunately individuals with the necessary training are in short supply, because of inadequate educational opportunities in the USA.  The list of qualified individuals with the necessary vocational experiences to qualify is equally lacking.  The Republicans who are available are qualified because of characteristics like vice, corruption and sycophancy, which leaves individuals who are subject to abuses of party jobbing and personal patronage in the form of the good old boy network or being members of “the team”, as the available labor pool.  The individuals who are assigned to these positions are placed in unenviable situations.  If they are incompetent, and without training and experience, there is every reason to expect them to be charitably called inefficient, then they have not even the benefit of a department of bureaucrats to direct their efforts.  It is figuratively like Brugal’s painting of the blind leading the blind.   And, worse still, in the position where no one is qualified and experienced with what needs to be done, and when the people in positions of authority are not fit to have power in their hands, the character of the government comes to depend totally on the moral and intellectual qualities of the administrators, who as we have already noted are assigned because of their vice, corruption and sycophancy.
 It is imperative to realize that in circumstances like those involving Iraq that the political, economic and social outcomes depend on the qualities and skills of the individuals in positions of authority.  Appallingly, the success of US Republican directed foreign policy is left to chance rather than in the hands of qualified people of proven ability.  Under the current Bush administration, there is a silent conspiracy, on the part of participants, to cover up ignorance and incompetence.  The Republican monopoly on bureaucratic appointments is based on inferior, immoral behavioral characteristics and cronyism.  Rather than passing examinations proving the low level candidates qualifications, followed by years of closely scrutinized performance, where quality is carefully identified and groomed, we have mindless sycophancy and association with populist organizations whose daily operations embrace immoral and criminal behaviors.  Professional progress is dependant on unquestioning acquesance to the most questionable activities and enthusiastic support for directives that can legitimately be classified as extreme.  It is no way unjust to state that advancement accompanies increased corruption, and this coupled with fanaticism is how individuals distinguish themselves.  And, active participation is dependant on embracing unquestionable prerequisite prejudices.  Any one who believes differently is automatically excluded as an outcaste and does not receive the benefits of the radical right’s extensive and necessary patronage.
 This guarantee of partiality supersedes every other consideration.  It has in the case of the Republican lead US government become a major misfortune.  The same misfortune pervades all branches of government and influences all promotions.  This evil has become systemic and is at present irremediable.  The outcomes of this state of affairs speak for itself.  Incompetent economic policies have resulted in three years of depression, and fraudulent wars, resulting from failed foreign policy, have effected the impression throughout the World that the US is the primary threat to World peace.  At the present time the US democracy is  best described as a dysfunctional system.  And, under the present Republican leadership nothing better can be expected in the immediate future, certainly no broad base of benefits will be obtained from our current dysfunctional government that positively effects all members of society; and, which were reasonably expected government outcomes, a few short years ago, produced by our free society when blessed by a good, competent Democratic model of government.
What the radical right have self-servingly delude themselves into believing is a benefit to America, is in point of fact a misfortune, which has the potential to destroy Democracy as it has previously been practiced for 200 years.  This misfortune has evolved by slow increments since the conclusion of WWII, not from a preconceived plan but by a successive series of accidents and expedients, by institutions which were not originally designed to be abused in this way, as the communities on which this movement depended for political support, where not initially negatively impacted and even derived certain economic benefits.  The far reaching and profound negative consequences that were inexorably to follow required theoretical considerations unavailable until after it had already been perceived as not only acceptable, but actually believed to be beneficial.  The abuses of power were carefully camouflaged from the communities, phony contrived events were created to justify the extremist measures that violated the nation’s basic human rights.  The fundamental functions of good government and its egalitarian safeguards were neglected and soon forgotten. It would be one of the great ironies of history if after accidentally stumbling upon new teletransportable subliminal   technologies, they were used in ways which wisdom would declare as wrong, and that the first use of them was to destroy the Democratic civilizations which created them.
 

   RUMOR MILL
      (Continued)
It has been observed on previous occasions that subliminal technologies represent a potential serious threat to democracies.  The Rumor Mill suggests that it could be used as a possible hypothesis to explain, in ways which make statistical sense, some of the following facts.  Since the US Navy first developed subliminal technology, there have been some rather extraordinary developments in the public and private arenas.  First, after almost a century of a Cold War, the Communist Party leaders decided to quit the Cold War and surrender.  The meetings where this was decided on were conducted on US naval ships out at sea.  The results first reached on board the US war ships were later substantiated in subsequent meetings in Moscow.  Second, after a lengthy and bitter trade war between Coca Cola and Pepsi, which Coke seemed to be winning, the Coca Cola family inexplicably sold controlling interest to its family business, and threw in the towel.  Third, the radical right wing was fighting to gain ascendancy of the Republican Party, when suddenly almost all moderate, liberal and centrists resigned from office, and all for the exact same two reasons, either, “It wasn’t enjoyable any more.” Or, “They wished to devote more time to their families.”  During the same short period of time several politicians resigned more than at any other time in the history of the United States, with only one exception.  And, during the same time period a few Democrats resigned, too.  They too were all either liberal or moderates, and they too all retired for the same two reasons.  Statistically, this is impossible. An approximately equal number of politicians should retire from all areas of the political continuum during any period of time.  And, a variety of reasons should have accompanied the retirements with only a couple of duplications.  Such extraordinary developments require an equally extraordinary explanation.
Two successful Democrats both tremendously successful, and considered unbeatable in the upcoming elections, have decided to retire in areas where the radical right populist movement has recently concentrated their immoral criminal activities.  The first, was the incumbent governor of Washington, and the other was the incumbent mayor of Portland.  Both politicians were very popular and politically believed to be assured of reelection in the upcoming elections.  The Rumor Mill is wondering if the radical right are still up to their old tricks and attacking our US Democracy for their own private purposes, just as they were believed to have done to end the cold war, and again to win a losing effort in an extraordinarily expensive trade war, and finally, to gain control of  one of America’s two major political parties.  Now, there seem to be further improprieties in the political arena that if true represent no less than an attempt to undermine our democratic system of government.  Don’t any Republicans ever retire because of dissatisfaction or because of a desire to spend time with their families, too, to say nothing about the disparity of numbers issue.

   THE RUMOR MILL
            Continued
Recently, the Rumor Mill believes it has observed the radical right committing felonies.  Radical Right parents, located in Portland, are taking their children over the boarder up to Seattle Washington, for the express purpose of prostituting them in a city that has not been extensively subjected to this form of child abuse.  They target unsuspecting individuals in bars and on the streets, and then set them up.  In Portland the pickings are to scarce to sustain them any longer, so they have been hitting satellite communities up and down the West Coast.  Unfortunately, they are still up to their old dirty tricks of targeting victims and stimulating the emotional hate centers in their brains, which they then utilize to subliminally predispose them to commit acts of violence.  Sex crimes, often of a perverse nature, are another favorite technique of the radical right, where the subliminal technologies are used to induce their targeted victims to engage in illegal sexual acts.  If true this is a clear violation of our country’s civil rights, and negates all of our country’s egalitarian safeguards.  What is doubly disconcerting is that the radical right, to make up for shrinking numbers of potential victims, are now subliminally establishing predispositions in their intended victims, which is a clear violation of established entrapment guide lines.  The inappropriate use of subliminal technologies for the commission of any criminal acts creates a situation where there is dual responsibility between the person who physically commit the act and the individual or individuals involved who utilizes the subliminal technologies in the planning and/or commission of any criminal act.  The victims now are no longer only individuals who are either disliked by the radical right, or individuals who the radical right targets because they disapprove of some aspect of their lives.  Recently, more flimsy pretenses are being contrived, in efforts to financially shore up and benefit the radical right’s operatives, by instigating immoral criminal behavior, pretenses like expressing opinions the radical right doesn’t approve of, or behaving in a way that implies a tendency towards holding controversial beliefs.  Such are the hard times that the radical right is falling on.
 

   RUMOR MILL
       Continued
Finally, it is the Rumor Mill’s belief that there are some who would be disappointed in certain members of the radical right, for secretly funding child pornography in Russia.  Elements of the right wing, had previously moved into Europe’s so called fine art films; and, under their control had sponsored projects that were overt examples of pornography.  Since then, members of the radical right have crossed the lines of depravity and are creating examples of hard core child pornography, as a means of gaining increased influence in Russia.  The radical right scam works something like this.  First, they secretly fund these outrageous videos, which as previously explained are used as a means of increasing their waning influence in Russia, it is also justified by stating that rather than letting bad people gain profits from filth its better that the radical right should receive the pay offs, some of which have been quite profitable, and which have acted to serve to supplement their other funding sources that include such nefarious activities as their monopolies in the international drug trade and the felonious insider stock market manipulation.  Second, the radical right takes advantage of the personnel and capital trained elsewhere in its pornographic “fine arts” film production facilities, to make these films.  This supplants their European fine arts movies industry’s sagging incomes.  Third, the shrinking influence of the radical right’s political figures in Russia, can then be improved, by having them cynically attack an easy target like child pornography, which allows them to claim the moral high ground, which they had lost with their greed, incompetence and corruption.  The Rumor Mill is reminded of a statement directed at a famous American public figure, “Say it isn’t so.”.  One could only wish that the American radical right could say it isn’t so and still be speaking the truth.
