ON THE WING

This spring I didn’t notice when the songbirds hatched,

nor even when they first took wing, my mind was so filled with mourning.

Today, I found an empty nest, their arrival and departure had come and gone unheeded.

 

Sadness drags on me like a shadow with weight;

and, a South wind came fresh and fragrant, it touched me with its warmth.

And, its sublime sweetness made my lonely heart ache for the faces now gone,

as though summer somehow had forgotten something, and was longing for completion.

 

I didn’t realize then that the longing was for me,

that my time was fast fleeing and I missed living life on the wing.

 

 

 

                        TO NIGHT

Tonight, I turn the corner

    into a dark silent side street;

then, my shadow

    reached out and touched me,

it was to be taken, too.

    My shirt, and pants, and shoes,

all were waiting and wanting,

    to take this little trip;

and, the shapeless Nothing

    that was devoid of color

said, “Welcome, now your finally ready,

    to enter the beyond.”

 

Wearily, I sit

    in the warm sultry room.

The wicked people scream in the street

    together with the crows

about tomorrow and other things

    they neither know, nor understand.

This evil time probes our open wounds,

    as the ticking of the clock grows progressively slower.

 

 

 

                        DRYADS DEBATE

Hearing the woodland dryads’ debate

    about the sublime beauty of Art

        being only to sensitive souls a reflection of Nature,

I tried to focus my attention on an arbor

    that contained a stand of Redwoods nestled in a draw,

        which also resides in a corner of my heart.

 

Dreamily meditating I sit

    distilling my imagination

        to see the metaphysical trees,

which reside so red and green resplendent

    far more radiant than the coarse woods

        that solemnly tower around me.

 

But, before transcending sensation

    and becoming blind as the stand of trees,

        every scarlet sliver and crimson cone sheltering me,

till life filled my red veins pouring through every limb

    glutting me with joy; a fire burns in the heart of redwoods,

        and among the looming silence I hear broken voices and laughter in the brush of the

                                                                                                                                    wind.

 

Inside the copse

    floating among the towering tree tops

        whispering secretively with a passing breeze

great grooved colonnades form from furrowed ruddy bark

    safely sequestered in the draw

        from wrathful wind and lightening - trees.

 

But, waiting in ambush

    assaulting each sense

        by an uncomprehending peccant mediocrity,

now blessed with this ethereal view

    I fly loyal to my code, like a Phoenix in flames,

        below the earth travels its caravansary of Night and Day.

 

The accumulated filth of tyranny’s vice and corruption

    forces its oppressive view on its slavish audience

        I’ve been compelled to watch perverts and their slattern counterparts

litter the sacred grove bellow where all the trees are scarred;

    and, red tints course through the seductive lacerating

        lake of silent shadows.

 

 

                        MY FIRST MEMORY

Autumn trees turn color

    and rivers slowly start to rise

I wander through the hot tired gardens

    lost in you, the high rising silence

that oppresses everything fragrant

    brought my first memory of death,

the damp decay of leaves joined with chrysanthemums,

    the raucous calling of a raven to us adolescents

awakens an awareness of summer’s final day.

 

No one takes us seriously

    the light touch of falling leaves

the past that is mulch for the future

    whose faint touch already was rotting.

 

But blood pulsed inside the branch,

    my budding hand

blossomed on your thighs.

 

Of shooting stars

    and mandrake roots are children born

to the cool crisp breath of the air.

 

 

 

                        WHAT GOOD

What good are these days,

when tyranny dictates how they must be spent?

The world becomes dull and redundant,

and, time a scourge that plays familiar reruns which bores us 2 death.

 

Nothing new to greet you, to stimulate the mind;

for  the tyrant fears everything that’s not already known,

and anyway, only the tyrant, alone knows what is best;

besides, anything new posses as a potential threat.

In your great impatience, you vainly fought futility,

the frantic efforts of a suffocating soul.

Your full development, you’re doomed never to know;

a grotesque, you live like all the rest, as a Goya amputee.

 

Since that day long ago you’ve become a chained drone.

Are you productive?  Why hell yes!  A modern miller’s mule locked in a circle of sorrow.

Beneath a blind sun and scarred moon,

you recurrently dream what your body will never know....

 

 

 

 

 

                        R.I.P.

So many tell me to rest in peace,

you were so central to it all,

before your touch everything seems fragmented,

like another person’s life.

There such Liberty and Love,

and now there’s so much pain and such great sorrow,

in God’s great bitter-sweet sense of irony.

There doesn’t seem to be any meaning

to the phrase ”he lived”, when what we experience

living in a tyranny, is like being impaled

and added to the collection,

carefully labeled with dates and location.

 

Time for us is discontinuous,

filled in with neat rows and columns of zeros,

time is plastic, too, for instance,

now skips around between various events.

Most days stand silently in stark rows

all days are wrapped up in one,

there passing leaves no discernable mark,

till the aggregate impact is observed.

Each day is strangely like you,

they all are similar pieces

that when added up and put together

form your transforming image.

 

I suppose that now is the time to say

life somehow is insubstantial,

whenever one’s oppressed life becomes shadowy

filled with mutilated moments;

and, yet what I hold in my arms

is solid enough, form and color merge

into one sublime harmonious whole.

What conspiring set of circumstance

created the long chain of accidents

that became the wonder which is you.

I’m just a mangled heap of morphemes, merely figments,
whose vanity contrived your varied form.

 

My laboring eyes have constructed

twin wings which they’ve already attached

in gaudy splashes of color and great eyes.

But, when nobody is looking

what miraculous being emerges?

The shattered dreams and various bits and pieces

of this place and that event

radiantly shine through their death mask

of the reformed you.

As for your display,

does it include holograms and computer generated graphics

projected on blank walls and empty space?

 

Do they include a landscape

complete with smoldering ruins

that contain the warm ashes of your remains,

and with my bifocals

search its smoking slopes –

its wind and wave swept beaches,

trembling forests, and golems.

It is filled with gray days and black nights,

as we follow the dark twisted paths

of minds we don’t even know revisiting

a past life in composite scene by scene.

What can be done to rebuke the horror of their deformity?

 

It seems to me

that filament by filament

a web is spun around us

wrapping us about like Protean beings.

Here we can smoke, here we must be silent,

or speak in moderate decibels about superficial subjects,

or, superficially about important subjects.

Here we are the center.

Outside, lines intersect, but obliquely wrap around us.

Finally, we’re given a miniature replica of life,

a desperately sick world

devolving constantly lower and lower.

 

Why were we once given such lovely lives,

filled with wonderful color and bright lights

blessed by sweet innocent dreams,

if our fate bounds us as objects –

you a unique miracle of creation

reduced by mediocre miscreants –

into the sordid superficial thought of things?

We lived a brief beautiful life,

filled with Love and rapture,

before being trapped within the perverse predator’s eye,

a quivering self-serving self-delusion

about to be destroyed and delegated to oblivion.

 

I avoid all needless interaction,

to prevent their unnecessary moral degeneration;

besides, not being wicked and not fond of necromancy,

it gets confusing, when your already the same as dead.

Wanted dead or alive, and, subject to whatever it takes,

becomes an incredible bore after the initial outrage wears away;

and, redundancy, like rigor mortis, sets in,

thus their sacred little system

operates as an advanced state of necrobiosis,

and, descending into their midst is a little like death.

We are dismembered by all those Ensor faces,

whose voices form a hollow wind racing over boulders;

which serve to bind people together, objects in the slave trade,

and which wearily stretch dreary life’s limits for another moment or day.

 

But, you lack even the ability to talk,

what you do is echo programmed absurdities

that your conditioned to substitute for thought.

Yet even a moment of common sense,

or, better still more erudite reason dispels.

Darting over our past life,

we’re not in God’s debt;

our life freely lived wouldn’t be a burden,

just imagine a whole day before us;

and it was all fine, doing what we please.

But, we were surrounded by the buzz of stupid cell phone conversations,

battering my heart down and finally destroying us.

 

Living to brief a moment,

filled with fear and loathing,

we float mote like ascending

in a golden column of light,

beyond prison space confined

between an endless anvil and hammer,

past and future, smashing our dreams.

But, the destructive actions were all in vain,

because a life lived soberly,

without the light burden of dreams was not worth living –

life, after all, had only the value that dreams gave to it.

And, then I visit books,

to brush branches and enjoy their fruit.

How easy to open a window

sprout wings and fly away to mountain meadows,

where voices grow soft and thoughts become expansive.

 

This pen writes and travels on

leaving a stream of littering symbols behind,

it loses all worth if its not Truthful,

the integrity inherent in any line;

or, the whole tradition will die,

and become a mere adjunct to tyranny,

so much blasphemy and wanton waste;

there is a tryst with the hand,

whose wisdom is conveyed by meditative fingers;

through silent speeches lyrical and strong,

whose birth pains reaps no profit;

but, it gratifies the heart, and it eases the soul.

 

Such wondrous beauty

enjoyed for such a brief passing flight

seems to suggest a myriad of things,

each unique as the miracle

subjectively beholding their world;

and, if there is an objective goal

its not singular or static,

and certainly isn’t found in ourselves.

No cheap charlatan puppet masters

putting on a bogus shadow play

can imprison light in darkness –

it’ll always break away into rainbows of color.

 

And, now patient reader,

should we bid a fond farewell?                         

We’ll each grow older,

and become thin as our hair,

memories will fade and wither like leaves in Fall.

The trouble is the fossils who’ve never lived,

they cling tenaciously to lives never lived

hating anyone who would and could and did:

so as to not have to confront how much they’ve missed.

The future stretches behind them

filled with beds for prostituted lovers

and the waiting abyss,

while radiant transforming clouds are beautiful and surreal.

 

You’re better selves is what they demand of others,

while expecting every allowance be made for themselves.

I fall exhausted disgusted by the oppressive goal

that needlessly enslaves people and makes them empty and deformed.

In the midst of youth’s love and laughter,

is it any wonder youngsters view their elders as fools?

We live in a Paradise designed to make each of us happy,

and in stead see those in power

conspire to ugliness and depravity,

till life is infused with bitterness

and rancor and innumerable envies.

There is no end to the folly of the human heart,

and so Time continues expanding

till the silence between ticks of the clock swells into infinity.

 

 

 

                        UNDERSTAND

Who walked up to my window

when I was young and peered in it?

Who walked in the deep starry night wonder

when I was young and still it was utterly silent?

 

With His breath He made a blossom

condensed on the black pane,

and then departed to leave the houses

rising from the silence

doors closed tight and windows shut fast

deaf, and blind.

 

How was I to understand,

the symbol that was the moist flower of His breath?

It stayed a few fleeting hours and then dissolved away

into the pale anemic gray light of day

before I could hope to interpret it.

 

Eternity and a day wouldn’t have sufficed

for me to be able to understand.

 

 

 

                        ACROSS THE BEECH

The wind has blown the beech smooth

lines of sand particles snake across

lovely sand light in the sun stinging bites grain by grain

darker where the waves wash thundering ashore

only to recede in great glinting sheets

the sea white haired harmony with the sky blue on blue.

deaf in the wailing wind the huge rocks and wind smooth sand

form a gigantic Zen garden stretching back

to the beginning of time, between the sea and shore

where wooded mountains raise their heads

and gaze stolidly Westward past the silted sand and waves.

Think, how the wind blown sand erases my footsteps,

think how brief life is even mountains and seas to eternity.

All human existence is like one of these nameless sand snakes

being blown willy-nilly across the beach.

What significance there is in life, if any, comes from what we make of it.

 

 

 

                        AGING

               Thanks to Mr. D.T.

Let me for my mid-life mourn

    when I was woke and the day dark

to silence from full flowing river to neighboring woods

    and the flickering blue flames and morning mists

sequestered shores.

 

Dawn hesitated, and then, with a greeting nod,

    hurried on with water gloaming

and songbirds singing in the shadow strewn copse

    I stepped into my chariot

and joined the jostling throng, in the painfully wide awake city.

 

The day began in silence and shadows

    with the city still asleep; but, by the river where water foul reveled

and regaled my name that set their wood winged cousins scorning

    near the suburbs and the white cats,

and I rose in the sapphire sky

 

and surreyed out in the chessboard of sun and shadow,

    I took the high road and the Western Meadowlark cavorted

over the fence and blue lupine peopled field

    and doors severed shut the suburbs and city,

as the man machine ground into gear.

 

A Summer of butterflies

    beneath the painfully empty blue of all my days

car exhausts and the roadside trees wing trimmed and brimming

    with unidentified birds and Summer sunshine

on the broad backs of sylvan covered ridges.

 

Here were Haydn quartets sweet sounding

    accompanying me through morning maladies

I wandered and listened as dew diadem droplets

    disappeared in the dull dusty heat and webs of shadows dropped

in the cool forests vague with distance.

 

Purple haze hung in the parched air over the waterways

    where a barge plowed its bifurcating furrow

and church spires stabbed futilely at the near by hot heavens

    and skyscrapers and skyscrapers to be, with skeletons exposed with crane crowns

thrust through the tired panting city’s bad breath and odious body odor.

 

Pigeons promenaded beside all the gardens of Summer

    where tall blossoms concealed thorns, and cameras

lurked along borders beneath the cloudless sky

    that stared unblinking like a lidless eye

and planes plied the polluted pellucid sea.

 

There I could wonder,

    while shadows pirouetted around

with the long arching sun

    my day already half spent

gasping in the intensifying heat

 

It turned and climbed inside a window,

    and inside another universe with sharp edged light;

and, from the thin, altering and aching, sky again

    the wonder of varied realities

that comprised the marvel of an aging Summer fast turning rustic.

 

The peaches ripened

    along with apples, cherries and pears

and I saw with the changes so clearly

    senile civilization’s iterative sad stories

through the sun and faint moon parabolas –

 

The parabolas of reflective light

    and lost legends in forest green temples

the redemptive reflections realizing youthful joys

    plus life’s myriad important lessons

like living each day and enjoying life happy and free...

 

Where a child, when watching

    Summertime slowly dying whispering life’s eternal Truths,

communes with the stones, clouds and trees;

    while the mystery surges strong and alive

sung in the wind and carried by the heat shrunk streams.

 

And here in the cool calm I sit and wonder

    at the day that celebrates my life,

as the heat strikes the anvil Earth like a hammer,

    and the happy days, long since deceased, stir awake, in their recumbent slumber –

singing like a bell beneath the smiling Summer Sun.

 

I’m fifty-five and accelerating constantly towards death

    and I realize, here and now, as the Sun’s shadows slowly start to stretch West,

though the city lies sleeping, like an anaesthetized patient, in the Summer heat:

    I’ve many years yet to live happy and free – each incredibly precious;

and, on this high hill the middle of another year;

 

the World is eternally young,

    even though its already really quite old;

and, mankind’s brief span of time here,

    his truly precious and gracious gift from on high,

is merely but a season on this eternally young already old World, which will be here

                                                                                                long after man’s time is done.

                                                RUMOR MILL

                        5th Discourse on The Contemporary Effects of Faction

 

            Nothing is of greater value, nothing is more expedient, in conducting public business than a just discernment of the designs of its participants.  More than merely a natural inherent sagacity, which is helpful in gossiping about its people and allows snoops to pry into the private affairs of others; and, allows them to learn their neighbors latent characteristics, which provide insight into their true characters; and, are frequently concealed from their outward actions, but I refer to primarily that cultivated public and political sagacity, which while similar is not superficial and pertains to more substantive matter which it deals with in a profound and insightful manner.  This facility requires intelligence developed by experience and culminates in Art.  This is a prerequisite talent for any public servant who aspires beyond mere politics and wishes to attain that happy state of affairs so rarely encountered today, which previous ages including our founding forefathers described as statesmanship.  In the pre-faction era this is how the designs of foreign nations were discovered; rather than by the invasive ploys currently employed by mediocre minds, who resort to subterfuge and spying, which are integral characteristics of tyranny with their inherent insecurities and impaired labor inputs.  Further, after discovering the deep designs of competitive nations it helps develop strategies to prevent their plans, or, utilize their competitors plans to further one’s own interests, and anticipate every event that occurs from natural disasters like a hurricane to political scenarios like averting unnecessary wars; and finally, it understands the full social, political, and economic effects on the sentiments and passions of all racial, ethnic, and religious groups involved.  This part of human wisdom known as statesmanship is universally useful; but, is essential in a freedom loving Democracy, where greater respect is given to the rights of citizens in the varying vagaries of fate political parties experience going in and out of power that constitute reality in a tumultuous robust society which is a healthy free state.  And, statesmanship effectively heeds the opinions, beliefs, temper and prejudices of the people, which in America are zealously monitored by a plethora of public opinion polls.  Without the adequate discernment demonstrated by statesmanship, it’s impossible to improve particular converging circumstances, to obtain optimal beneficial results; but, rather a nation is reduced to a reactionary mode that’s little better than blundering through trying to stay a half step ahead of the public as events unfold.  And, utilizing the media to place as advantageous a spin on exercises of factional avaricious driven incompetence as is possible.

            A lack of this just discernment of statesmanship, is precisely what is wanting by the leading puppet political figures of the insecure right wing faction in the Republican Party, who dealt so disastrously with Hurricane Katrina, in not implementing relief efforts in a timely fashion, from a nonexistent relief plan (the missing village idiot from Texas wouldn’t interrupt his vacation, which he finally did by two whole days) for a disaster described as the biggest potential tragedy that could happen to the USA; and, it exposed the negative effects of factional greed and incompetence, by pursuing policies that enriched the industrial-military and oil industry, but neglected important infrastructure needs of the nation, like not adequately funding the Army corps of Engineers Mississippi levees project.  The lack of discernment by the right wing factional driven Republican Party’s tyrannical leadership can’t improve on circumstances nor can they obtain optimum results: witness the Iraq War fiasco where ongoing efforts of USA troops in Iraq for no legitimate reasons, besides the radical right efforts to retain control of Iraq oil and natural gas revenues, result in incurring larger numbers of fatalities in the ensuing period of peace than during the war and costing the US tax payers tens of billions more in a never ending black hole of expenses paying for features like UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE for IRAQ at USA tax payer expense, while at home the Republican Party not only has caused over an additional 10 Million Americans to have no health care coverage, but has actually reduced the health care coverage to USA soldiers and their families!!!  This is an avaricious driven insult to all Americans, as the radical right factional interests desperately strive to keep their talons in and control of Iraq Oil and Natural Gas revenues, while oil prices escalate ever higher and higher bringing on repeated waves of cost push inflation, at super markets, stores and in shopping malls all across the country.  The people picked by the radical right faction lead Republican Party are individuals possessed of modest abilities at best whose previous lack luster performance provides no reason for surprise that they have failed in this, too, if we reflect how unfit even people of ability are to understand the actions of others, when they are preoccupied with dishonestly dissembling their own deceitful agendas.  All people are prone to error, but here lies a significant difference.  Some well intended individuals, such as we have not mentioned, confronted by problems, pressed by emergencies, inflamed by passions like the issues confronting the USA during WWII or by the complex circumstances involved during the Cold War by participants on our side, may occasionally deviate into mistakes, and even follow errors of long duration like expanding the Vietnam War into Cambodia, which lead to the Khmer Rouge.  But, never before has there been a extreme factional driven party who never deviate into the road of good government and common sense; who confronted with no difficulties and crossed by no problems, but confronted with world wide peace and unprecedented prosperity with the highest standard of living in the world, whose biggest adversary the Democratic Party advocated our continued industry and progress, safety and security, and stability and peace abroad.  The extremist driven radical right faction that now dominates the Republican Party excited efforts towards a bad model of government based on policies of exploitation that started off Bush Jr. first term in office, causing the largest stock market crash in the history of Wall Street were many lost 75% of their investments total value, an ensuing depression of six year duration to date for the majority of the nation that was the second consecutive major depression after a Republican took control of the US Presidency, (Republican Ronald Reagan also started off causing the second worst depression of the twentieth century), the largest National Debt in the history of the world, the largest Trade Deficits, the world’s largest budget deficits, three phony foreign wars, the deliberate loss of thousands of jobs through policies actively supporting job flight, and energy policies that have caused repeated waves of cost push inflation, labor policies that are designed to not only to make American labor competitive with Third World labor markets but sticks 80% of Americans with Third World standards of living that had already precipitously fallen under Republican’s failed factional leadership from number one in the world to not even being in the top 15 impairing the consumer demand that is the foundation of American markets and that were sure to severely limit future returns on marginal investment capitol, and a privatized Social Security that destabilizes the world’s money markets, erodes consumer demand, and eliminates many individual’s ability to retire while reintroducing to America the specter of abject poverty stricken Sr. citizens.  Further negative net effects of the Republican Party’s failed factional leadership on their bad models of US government, is that we can’t afford to educate all our children who qualify and desire higher educations, provide adequate health care, housing for all citizens, jobs, a healthy environment, non-exploitive energy programs, and retirement for our nations Sr. citizens who no longer wish to work, and a policy that promoted regional conflict in the Middle East, to only mention an abbreviated list of negative effects of the radical right factional tyranny’s political pawns the Republican Party’s poor leadership and bad model of government that benefit only a very few fortunate folk; in efforts that impoverish a docile and trusting herd of people, who believe and follow the ordinances of a well oiled propaganda machine.  There are people, whose special privilege is to proceed from all those previously mentioned advantages, deliberately and ineptly, from blunder to blunder, from year to year, in one perpetual avaricious maze of incompetence, implementing policies that result in incoherent chaos, which are the outcome of radical right faction’s failed leadership of the Republican Party with it’s tyrannical and exploitive scams of avarice and corruption.

            But, besides refusing to participate with people of this character, let’s return to those individuals of a better class; to the people who lead the Democratic Party, at its ascendancy during Bill Clinton’s Democratic Presidency.  The foundation they had to build our nation’s prospects where a huge national debt and a shaky economy described as fragile: but, they prudently proceeded to appropriately and effectively lead the country using good models of government to meet the needs of all of its people, by responsibly cutting the national debt, minimizing foreign military adventurism and shrewdly utilize foreign relations to fairly differ our expenses pursuing policies that benefited the entire world community with regional stability, providing a small fair tax cut that was designed to prime the economy with increased consumer demand, as opposed to the Republican’s extravagant unfair cuts for a rich few to enable them to pursue expanded avaricious designs doomed in advance to failure, regional stability around the world which established the basis for expanding old and developing new foreign markets for American goods and services, arrested our plummeting standard of living, creatively promoted domestic jobs in poor urban and rural areas that needed help through tax incentives to private business, fully funded Public Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid, improved education at all levels for all children with tough fair Federal standards checked by national tests while retaining local control guaranteeing an adequate supply of trainable labor and solid citizens for today and tomorrow’s business needs unlike the Republican two tiered plan which cost more and the majority of children (80%) were undereducated and couldn’t compete in world labor markets leaving them set up and chained to ignorance Third World standards of living designed to make radical right faction’s ruling elite short term profits while children were to become tame sycophants easy to oppress and exploit – rather than good hard educated workers and free honest solid citizens, public safety got a boost with an infusion of over a thousand more police as communities that were progressively becoming more prosperous were becoming stable pleasant places populated with a stable middle class that experienced rates as close to full employment as was pragmatically possible, effective job training programs were started along with making available student loans again, there were more national parks and existing parks grew bigger than ever before, and every effort was made to diversify the economy especially in sustainable nonpolluting areas of economic activity like tourism.  The country accomplished all of this during the two terms that the Democrats held the White House and President Clinton effectively lead the country with patterns of political activity based on sound principles and good models of government that has stood the test of time for over 150 years.  One of the sound principles that they tried to protect was The Separation of Powers, by a series of qualified progressive judges appointed to Federal Court they tried to reestablish the concept of a nonpartisan judiciary and provide political balance to the Judicial Branch of government once again, which after 12 years of extreme partisan appointments for judges, by the radical right controlled Republican Party, of politically right wing ideological clones; and, a practice of hiring staff members sympathetic to right wing beliefs, and promoting and appointing to key positions personnel who were acceptable to right wing Senators and the right wing Chief Executive branch staff members, who were responsible for filling positions within the bureaucracy of the Federal Judiciary, the Judicial branch of government had become displaced.  The radical right faction felt that through judicial appointments and hiring employees who were to displace the bureaucracy they could make the Judiciary into a factional tool with which the radical right could be able to run the country by means of the courts.  Also, the radical right faction believes that besides being able to run the country through the judiciary, if another mistake occurs and they somehow loose the Presidency, again that the radical right can dispense with unpopular issues by means of the Judiciary without drawing heat, either to themselves, or to their political pawns the Republican Party.  Perhaps the right wing Republicans didn’t realize that in the process they were transforming the nature of government divorcing it from such sound principles of government as Separation of Power, Equality, Property Rights and Liberty, which gave the Federal Courts and their masters the radical right faction the ability to circumvent the will of the people as expressed either in legislation, or Executive orders; but, its more probable that their conduct was intentional as the USA slipped inexorably toward becoming a tyranny, disguised under a Democratic façade, a government ruled by faction.  The Republican Party damaged Democracy in America substituting an inferior radical right factional tyranny based on a bad model of government wherever it could  it eliminating the Separation of Power, substituting subordination for Equality opening the floodgates of vice and corruption, and used a displaced Judiciary to engage in a camouflaged assault on eroding and eliminating property rights, and Liberty was portrayed by intensive propaganda efforts by the media as dangerous and subversive in stead of the sound basis of our country’s progress and prosperity these last 200 years.  The Democratic processes were mugged by radical right faction money, the unfortunate result being elections viewed as investments and government’s primary function was to make a few people a lot of money, functioning as a conduit from the public’s pocket to their private accounts.  This result was to change government spending patterns from one which was beneficial and shored up demand to one which was injurious based on exploitive policies designed to optimize the rate of return which equated maximizing the damage to the broad base of public interests that supported the superstructure of faction.  The Democratic Party during Clinton/Gore administration strove to strengthen America, by healing the economy, balancing the budget, and eliminating the national debt.  They are trying to reawaken a two party system of Federal Government, which is made up of all of the people, rather than faction’s money, the Democrats endeavored to employ policies that benefited all the people, rather than made money for a limited few, based on sound Democratic principles in an effort to raise public awareness sufficiently to overcome radical right Republican advantages of money and control of the media capable of disappointing their best efforts and destroying the previously established patterns of good government, which was the basis of our nation’s prosperity, Civil Rights and happiness.

            The same predisposition toward prejudice, the same apprehension and paranoia, which exploded into persecution, previously directed toward other groups a few years previously like blacks and Communists, lay dormant in the hearts of part of the population; latent and inert, certainly, and healing by slow degrees, but still easily reawakened, and again inflamed.  If we compare the 1950’s with its red scare with the attempts during the Reagan/Bush administration attacking the recreational use of drugs one finds many striking parallels. In the second instance the radical right’s secret efforts to start a crack epidemic served two purposes, first it served to distract the public and it provided the right wing populist movement with a pretense to embrace the practice of subordination, which did away with Equality and certain Civil Rights, second it was supposed to provide a source of revenue for the radical right to become an independent entity; however, the propaganda campaign that had been adversely portraying Communist Russia and Eastern Europe as the Evil Empire  came to a screeching halt with the collapse of Communist Russia and its separation from Eastern Europe due to a lack of sufficient energy reserves, and a new threat had to be found, as an adjunct in managing America’s citizens; and, at that point it became expedient to characterize the recreational use of drugs, which initially targeted addictive crack and heroin, as wrong and the label Evil Drugs was first applied and became the target of intense propaganda attention which employed propaganda practices of the media, whose point of origin was Nazi Germany in the 1930’s with their “Juden free Deutchland” campaign utilizing such ploys as the big lie and the reaffirmation of falsehoods. After first adversely portraying Communist Russia and East Europe as an Evil Empire, and then, after exhausting the available market of addictive drugs (1/2 of 1% of the population) by setting them up and busting them, which was relatively easy to do because the radical right had an international monopoly as middle men who supplied the local distribution networks that they were already busily engaging in hostile takeover operations on, in their business efforts at vertical integration in efforts to maximize their profits to pay for the radical right factions nefarious operations and immoderate proposals that legitimate governments wouldn’t approve and provide funds for.  The spirit of faction already was warm and extremely vigorous as the radical right faction, becoming acclimated to subordinating other people’s rights and doing away with the principle of Equality, as the basis of a Just society, corruptly expanded and extended their persecutions to include pot smokers, in an effort to sustain their subordinate tyrants’ artificially elevated standards of living that were tax free; and, which served to satisfy the unnatural appetites like perverse forms of predation that afflicted many of their members; nor were any dangers reasonably apprehended yet from these transformations of society from a freedom loving functional Democracy to a factional driven tyranny subject to the caprice of their prejudicial whims.  The United States maintained its false Democratic façade, whose two party system was rapidly becoming dysfunctional, as the radical right faction displaced the Republican Party and then purged it of all liberal, moderate and conservative members and turned it into its political pawn; confronting the US Constitution with a new enemy, one from within that had degenerated in a few short years from a populist movement with affiliations with the extreme religious right into an organized criminal organization complete with career criminals who attracted all the extremists and misanthropic elements of society who wished to engage in immoral criminal behavior and pretend to virtue.  Those radical right members who were not psychologically deficit in a variety of ways and were attracted to the radical right populist movement were first subject to deliberate processes of corruption, before being allowed to become privy to their inner operations.  Its true that this had no immediate consequences, because the Cold War fraudulently continued and the industrial-military received its bloated profits at the golden trough; but, little fires broke out across the country in serial rapists and wide spread acts of violence which were erroneously attributed to scapegoated sub-cultural groups, who were targeted within the larger community.  This great assault on Civil Rights continued to run its course, as the extremist radical right faction employed slander, extortion and coercive acts of violence in planned operations including prostitution, perversion, child abuse, drug trafficking, rape, criminal assault and battery with dangerous weapons, and murder.  The targeted group now represented 75% of America’s population who had recreationally experimented with drugs except alcohol which was excluded, and receiving particular aversive attention were the dissident population groups which included anyone who openly verbally criticized and disagreed with the radical right faction, whose undemocratic policies now injudiciously embraced such extremist positions as “Whatever it takes” which isn’t exactly a moderate plea for reason and law and order, and “Your either with us or against us” which is both irrational and paranoid; in an effort to steal societies rights, and then proceed to steal the resources and wealth of the nation, in a pattern as old as tyranny and first identified over 2,500 years ago in the ancient Greek city states.  It became appallingly apparent that the radical right faction used these pretences as a means of increasing their influence, displacing the Constitution, eroding Civil Rights, and abusing power by exploiting and oppressing the nation.

            The full extent of America’s transformation down the dark road into tyranny did not materialize immediately; because, at first public opinion would never have permitted it; and, initially, Democracy prevailed after the end of the Cold War Era.  As corrupt as the industrial-military were, extending the Cold War at least an additional decade, at an annual cost of approx, $200 to $300 billion per year in unnecessary military expenditures that shifted smoothly into siphoning off foreign aid ear marked to aid the newly redeemed Russian state, but in fact were corruptly diverted to radical right faction portfolio investments that at first were directed to Western Europe and then became World wide, with particular emphasis made along the Pacific Rim; and, as much as caused enough people to object and perceive that they exceeded the bounds of propriety; which included the first phony war fought with Iraq that was designed to shore up Saddam Hussein’s sagging domestic political prospects for having fought a failed 10 year war with Iran allied with the USA, by separating him from the United States; and, it was supposed to provide the US with a foreign threat that Republican Pres. Bush Sr. was to rally his dwindling political prospects with, by giving American voters a winning warrior to vote for.  But, the Republican Party was caught giving Iraq bogus agricultural loans through a Rome bank, to cover the cost of the war and rearmed Iraq’s military; yet the election was close with massive money advantages, the recent purchased dominance of American media, and a strategy to split the dissident vote with a third party candidate Ross Perot; there were still large numbers of deceived voters that were difficult to convince that an American party could be so corrupt that they would push things to that extremity.  Those same naïve honest Americans can not comprehend that the radical right faction’s political pawn is destroying the intent of the US Constitution that this nation’s people has supported with great sacrifice over the years, retaining a scant phony façade.

            The Democratic Administration of President Clinton placed in the middle of the most corrupt administration in the history of the country and the perpetual disaster that is Republican Pres. Bush Jr.’s administration demonstrates the positive potential of sound government principles and all that they can accomplish utilizing talented citizens to meet the needs of the country, with its eight year period of prosperity and only one war forced on it by the radical right faction, who armed an army of Albanian peasants, and it fought without a single fatality and for less than the five billion Republican dominated Congress provided for it.  But, when the Republican Party fraudulently stole the Presidential election, declaring the losing candidate as the winner, the case was not the same; and radical right faction’s model of government which viewed politics as an investment and government as a means to make large amounts of money for very few people, with government programs serving as a conduit from the public’s pocket to the private accounts of right wing factions’ power elite, what a difference was immediately felt.  The country and world experienced, under the pressure from Republican Party exploitive policies, the largest crash in the history of Wall Street where good people lost up to 75% of their life’s savings, retirement, and children’s college funds in an instant and an ensuing six year depression for the country while good economic news was restricted to the ruling radical right’s power elite, who retain tax cuts while Sr. Citizens lose prescription benefits and are confronted with Draconian alternatives like eating or buying essential medicine to maintain their fragile health.  And, more and more Senior Citizens lost their homes and independence and had to move in with their grown children who were reeling under problems of their own like making ends meet while their wages fall to Third World levels, and jobs fled from the country, which becomes saddled with the world’s largest debt as it past six Trillion and soared to SEVEN TRILLION DOLLARS, and no relief for the world’s largest trade deficit problems that could only grow worse with the flight of each additional job.  Three phony wars where fought for no valid reason, which bled and already badly hemorrhaging economy that made a once peaceful prosperous nation the world’s biggest threat to world peace, and 80% of its citizens faced the stark prospect of soon living like poor people in the Third World.  No jobs, no affordable adequate housing, no education, no effective job training except as radical right vice ridden corrupt prostitutes perverts child abusers rapist, pimps and sadistic thugs, in A COUNTRY WITH JOB FLIGHT PROGRAMS RATHER THAN JOB CREATION PROGRAMS.

            In 1980 before the Republican Party became displaced by the radical right faction and Regan/Bush Sr. ticket came to power, and the USA descended into the second worst depression of the twentieth century because of their exploitive policies, the USA had a standard of living that was the highest in the world, but by the time they left office in disgrace the USA standard of living had fallen out of the top 15 on its way toward the Third World standard now facing the majority of the nation.  The USA’s plummeting standard of living was temporarily stopped during the Democratic administration of  Clinton/Gore.  In 1992 before Pres. Clinton took office sufficient information was available to affirm suspicions about the radical right faction’s designs for America.  Their role with the international drug trade monopoly, their role fraudulently conducting stock market manipulation that created a bubble which eventually burst and their long standing antagonisms with the WTO, who openly opposed the radical right faction for following such ill advised exploitive programs that generated such disastrous results, and their central role establishing mid-east terrorism initially through Hamas at the end of the Cold War Era, fraudulently diverting foreign aid ear marked for Russia, purchasing oil and natural gas fields in S. America and Indonesia at ridiculously low prices brought about by corrupt political violence, and their dubious role directing aid to rearm Iraq were becoming known to increasing numbers of citizens; but, not before other measures were made domestically, which displaced the US Supreme Court like their current appointment whose record is evidently so shameful that its unacceptable and it has to be hidden from the public and stacking Federal Court with judges acceptable to the radical right faction that have been characterized as ideological clones, in a blatant attempt to rule the nation through the courts, thereby procuring the dissolution of the Constitution’s Federal Government System with its Civil Rights, Equality, Egalitarian Safeguards, and Checks and Balance System, which supposedly separates power and protects our citizens from the most degenerate thing known to man a corrupt tyranny that abuses of power. – This lamentable state of affairs quickly resulted in an unprecedented assault in the United States on that portion of American Civil Rights, which are subsumed under private property rights.  This sorry state is best demonstrated by the infamous Microsoft Trials, when Bill Gates the richest man in the world was sued in a variety of States and in Federal court as the radical right utilized its political clout gained from its political investments, in the later instance the radical right faction displaced Federal Bureaucracy, tried to steal his company and his company’s products, which represented the culmination of a lifetime of work; because, Microsoft had developed a product that better met the need of consumer demand with a tool which among a wide variety of other things effectively accessed internet and thus competed with AOL eroding its over 90% monopoly of market share, in what was projected to be a gain of approximately 30% of the market accessing internet.  The fact that this represented destroying the company that was responsible for single handedly overcoming the considerable inflationary pressure that confronted the country at the time, by improving service sector labor productivity rates was callously and foolishly disregarded, in favor of short sited radical right factional interests.  In a move that when coupled with a similar suite brought by the displaced Federal Judiciary against another leading US corporate giant AT& T brought venture capitol investment for internet commerce to a screeching halt, which not only overcame the impetus of new business activity functioning as a magnet for investment capitol as theoretically it should, it combined with oil increase shocks of around 100% to the economy, which effectively stalled the economy and brought on a depression.  How the 30% Microsoft market share represented a monopoly that deserved anti-trust action from the Federal Bureaucracy, when AOL with its over 90% market share didn’t is a question that remains unresolved.  However, what is clearly demonstrated is how factional interests run contradistinctive to the general current of the overall economic interests of the country. - Its simple strategy was no less devastating in its negative impact, first taking control of the Presidency, second take control of the Senate and then the House of Representatives if possible, and finally, through Presidential appointments to the Judiciary rubber stamped by the Republican Party political sycophants in the Senate, which had previously been purchased and purged as part of the radical right faction’s plans, with the help of a few fifth column Democrats strategically placed, displace the Judicial Branch, all strings pulled by the same puppet masters in the radical right faction.  The “new” government should be more malleable to the radical right factional interests following policies designed to maximize returns on their political investments with exploitive policies that are inherently injurious to the broad based interests of the country, for to maximize returns on exploitation equates picking those policies that damage the most and run contrary to the interests of the nation; while the media, procured for its propaganda function for the radical right faction, inundates the public with propaganda that justifies policies that benefit the short term interests of faction.  Its fair to conclude that the radical right faction functioned purely for avarice for itself, and contrary to the interests of the nation, when it bought a “new” navy, which was comprised of obsolete ships, even after the collapse of the Communist Russian State was common knowledge, and our own NSC publicly declared to Congress that the USA didn’t have ANY enemies in the entire world.  This radical right faction dominated Republican Party had pushed corruption and vice with great enthusiasm and single minded determination.  This unified government under hostile control by the radical right faction, commenced government by exclusion, which was covered up by tokenistic appointments of racial and ethnic individuals who were designed to splinter off the political constituency of their political opponents; they picked people to fill leadership positions, based on loyalty who followed orders without question, and not individuals based on ability; and, at the same time hypocritically failed to promote programs that helped minority and ethnic groups and gave equal education and employment, they did not help with housing for the poor as housing soared to bubble proportions increasing 20% a year as people tried to invest their money safely in other investments than stocks and bonds which the retiring Head of the Fed. declared to be systemically corrupt in a rare moment of candor, nor help heat homes which experienced 200% fuel bill increases, nor provide public Health Care programs while the private health care that the Republicans backed floundered facing 20% annual cost increases; however, they did suppress wages, reduce jobs and discourage retirement.  Isn’t it warranted to take for granted that they who caused and observed the negative effects of policies that included raising energy costs by over 200%, burst a stock market bubble that they had created through fraudulent insider trading practices that wiped out 75% of the markets worth and subsequently had been causing smaller private corporate retirement groups to go bankrupt and watched other corporations raid their own employees retirement programs in desperate efforts to stay solvent but left former retired employees destitute, given the previously mentioned unfair health care that gave worse health and experienced unsustainable cost increases around 20% per year and left over 10 million more Americans uncovered during the last four years while nothing was done – they’re resolved to continue these policies even though their profoundly negative consequences are already clearly discernable; and, the radical right faction lead Republican Party are going to increase the problems by privatizing Social Security and Medicare; even when its equally obvious that even they’re aware that strong corrective measures are necessary, in order to overcome these problems.  I state that the good citizens of this country have just cause to doubt the ability and the sincerity of the intent of the radical right faction’s political pawns the Republican Party.  The citizens should conclude that this faction who is responsible for our present disastrous problems are vastly less appropriate than any other group to employ to correct these circumstances.  The citizens would agree if given a clear and accurate presentation of our current situation.  Its less than comforting to realize that at present the US government is spending large amounts of money investigating the inept measures to provide disaster relief for the Hurricane Katrina that hit our shores with such appalling devastation near New Orleans, particularly when one realizes that relief didn’t start ‘till after one week of avoidable violence and chaos, when President Bush Jr. turned to the opposition party in order to find someone who could get the job done, which confirms the contention of the negative effects of faction on leadership; and, that such a disaster following a disaster is being investigated by the man responsible, the man who was in charge.  The radical right faction lead Republican Party is turning George Bush Jr. loose on the US public again!  This time to investigate himself – I wonder how it will turn out!  In an administration that Americans have come to hope the advice given to a great cartoon character will be followed, “Stand there Dudlee, just don’t do anything!”  Unfortunately, when it became essential that factional leadership act in an incisive and effective manner, this critical weakness of faction was clearly exposed.  But, in consequence of engaging the President to investigate himself, the radical right faction shows just how much they’ve to hide from the public, and the depths of absurdity to which the incompetence of factional government has descended, in no small measure due to failures in leadership and labor inputs inherent in contemporary factional tyranny.  Any attempts to rationalize it away and superficially leave it on the unfortunate drinking problem of the President doesn’t explain away consistent failure at each and every  stage of government from the local level all the way to the top office in the land, when at each step along the way Americans encounter the failed leadership and labor resulting from the vice and corrupt incompetence of faction.

            In Louisiana as in Washington D.C., the faction lead Republican Party failed to provide adequate leadership at all levels resulting in the collapse of government and the disruption of essential supplies and services, the consequence of which was needless deprivation and suffering and unnecessary violent anarchy and deaths.  First, the Mayor of New Orleans evidently did not notice that the city had somehow sunk beneath the mighty Mississippi river, and she took over 24 hours to report this little detail.  Second, the governor of Louisiana seems to have been too busy to notice, maybe she doesn’t watch TV, that the biggest city in the state was missing for two days – notice the incompetence increasing the further one goes up the chain of command.  And finally, the radical right lead Republican Party’s chief puppet leader Pres. George Bush Jr., took over one week to get the Federal government effectively involved; and then, he called in a Democrat, former Pres. Clinton.  Again, it must be mentioned that the failure in leadership was more fundamental than an inadequate response made too late in a realization of the old saying, “Too little, too late.”.  The right wing faction lead Republican Party leadership’s lack of comprehending what the devastating consequences of not adequately funding the country’s infrastructure needs would generate, by not providing sufficient funds for the Mississippi River levees to be completed by the Army Corp of Engineers.  The radical right faction lead Republican Party leadership’s complete failure to respond to what was identified as the countries single greatest threat, with any kind of comprehensive relief plan.  It’s ironic to note that when a recent disaster struck the Third World in remote regions in S. E. Asia relief was provided in the form of food, water, and medicine within 24 hours.  In the United States of America it took over a week; and then, it only got effectively organized when, as stated, a non-factional figure was called in and placed in charge - former Democratic Pres. Clinton.

            During the period of transformation of the USA into the radical right faction’s yoke of tyranny, the right wing populist movement moved into organized crime. Dissidents were sought out and persecuted, at first only those from the political left who acted out against the War in Vietnam, and defendants were seen on TV bound and gagged in courts.  Next, individuals who were targeted by the radical right international drug trade monopoly involved in heroin and crack were targeted, and it was during this time frame that the radical right faction’s use of perverts and prostitutes became prevalent.  Then, subliminal technologies became increasingly employed, as ever more people became subject to persecution and the radical right faction’s use of prostitutes, perverts and the systematic child abuse of children became generalized.  And finally, what originally was supposed to be a short term operation took root and expanded its corrupt operation, as the radical right’s subordinate tyrants, who had become habituated to persecuting people and needed a steady supply of scapegoat victims, constantly were looking to expand their market to include other groups.  This meant that they targeted individuals who thought that their private recreational behavior was both reasonable and beneficial, which meant that the radical right adopted more extreme methods of operation to discourage people from engaging in moderate and fun filled behaviors; and, the extremist process was exacerbated, by the fact that the internal dynamics of the operation guaranteed that the most extreme members and who tended to be the most motivated meant that they also tended to generate more results and were advanced within the what was now a criminal organization dealing in drugs, weapons, perversion and prostitution, and extremist measure patterns were soon copied by other ambitious members, and so the organization continued to become increasingly more extreme in its operational measures.   The extremist leaders soon were embracing questionable measures that were ever more difficult to justify, and so began a campaign which was adopted to create abhorrent acts that then were associated with their intended targeted victims and used to provide a false rationalization for their cruel and brutal behaviors.  It never occurred to a group that tolerated no other opinions and demanded total obedience that just because something could be gotten away with didn’t necessarily mean that it should.  And, the negative impact on members went by, if not unobserved, at least unmentioned.  And, so operations involving the most abhorrent behaviors known to man became common place and serial rapists, murders and child abuse were regularly utilized.  The radical right had found the populist movement expedient particularly when it negatively expanded to include attacking people who smoked pot because it conditioned society to be oppressed and motivated by fear, while increasing their operations numbers which represented increasing their corrupt vice ridden constituency.  The radical right faction finally realized the old axiom of tyrannical government, first rob a nation of its rights, and motivate them by fear; and, then rob the nation of its riches, by constricting it into fewer hands.  They took advantage of the nation’s horror and indignation that the radical right subordinate tyrants carefully planned and executed abhorrent acts generated with their serial crime waves and school violence campaigns which was designed to undermine popular support of public schools, so they could replace them with their inferior two tiered school system that the public never went for, and racial acts of violence.  They currently have attacked our public schools with a series of special rigged elections, which result in stacked local school boards with members amendable to their educational format, because they couldn’t contend with the negative political fallout for the Republican educational plans.  The indiscriminate use of subliminal technology meant that its use was never established on just grounds, and its use was generalized in ever greater numbers of cases ‘till individuals were picked because of personal dislikes, money motive factors, and if the radical right subordinate tyrants didn’t happen to like the way someone thought.  The fact that mediocre talents used it as a means to generate results and increase profits was accepted as reasonable.  In short whatever was expedient and profitable they abetted, certainly they were very active ‘till its use was standard and people were routinely being subliminally predisposed to commit heinous violent sex crimes.  The extreme leaders who supervised these actions looked on their increased results as justification for increased extremism and expanded ranges of operation, which benefited them personally financially as well as benefiting their reputations within the criminal organization: and sadly they had degenerated to the point where it was thought to benefit tyranny, too.  But, it’s consequences on Democracy and the effect that it had on social characteristics like moderation, prosperity, and progress, not to mention Justice, Equality, Liberty and Happiness were devastating.  As many brazen subordinate tyrants openly paraded their vicious vices as though they were virtues, and embraced behavior themselves that was blatantly very indecent, ‘till they adopted sadistic norms of behavior in open efforts to physically torture and psychologically torment in open efforts to drive people insane!  And, they enjoyed intimidating individuals this revolution of society with sadistic norms of behavior that no longer respected property rights and no longer honored personal safety, which established two standards of behavior, one for society which the subordinate tyrants openly violated with impunity and another standard for themselves.  The consequence of this was that one group of privileged individuals could function according to the dictates of reason and according to free will in ways which promoted their interests and made them happy; and, the vast majority was able to, too, so long as it was first approved, which meant everyone else had to be a hypocritical sycophant; or, else!  They had become an immoral criminal organization complete with career criminals whose operations were clearly motivated by profit and violated everything that was decent.  But, they who are without moral restraint and beyond the reach of the law soon descend into the depths of indecency, where they soon discover that indecency begets indecency, in a never ending spiral.

            At the same time that the internal dynamics of the populist movement degenerated into organized crime and political right wing extremism, others prevailed likewise in endeavors to transform government; into a design where government spending was not only injurious to the economy, but aversive to property rights and Liberties of its citizens.  Many well meaning people began to protest against these practices and to comprehend that government had fundamentally altered.  The opposition began to protest against these practices.  The opposition Democratic Party respecting the need for social stability through continuity in the nation’s basic government structures limited its constructive criticisms to pragmatic points about the destructive consequences of privatizing entitlements, unnecessary belligerent military operations that bled the nation, and avaricious driven exploitive economic policies.  The Democratic Party went further, speaking about political developments they used the following remarkably candid disclosure, that the Republican Party had deliberately destroyed the Separation of Powers and in doing so destroyed the theoretical foundation of America’s Constitution.  But, the particular individual’s who were vaguely aware of the consequences of their conduct, and some others still influenced by moral restraint and respecting the positive function of Democracy; I believe, there were those who promoted faction, who didn’t mean to destroy Democracy, on the contrary they believed it promoted the social stability that benefited their interests.  The reason I bother to point out the Democrats actions and public position is not because it represents the true informational state of the Democratic Party and what they knew of the radical right faction dominated Republican Party and what it really intended to do; but, the Democrats were responding to what the public apprehended; for as long as the parameters of reality were controlled by the dominance of media which were owned and controlled by the radical right faction, and government was controlled by the same radical right faction, then the role of the Democratic Party was restricted to one of damage control, and in this instance educating the public; besides, the Democrats still incorrectly perceived government in the positive light of good government models based on sound principles, and so they don’t entertain the full extent of radical right faction intentions based on bad models of government that are exploitative and injurious in nature.  When the radical right faction fraudulently stole the US Presidency in two consecutive elections once by an overt lie and then through untraceable vote transfers, they criminally rejected all Constitution limitations, on belief that the benefits obtained to factional interests destroying a government and exploiting a country surpass injuries done to the entire economy.  The radical right faction’s erroneous disparaging view of government is ultimately based on faulty computer generated economic models and interpreted by individuals of decidedly suspect ability that stem from impaired labor inputs derived from a half century of exploitative policies and greed driven corruption that forms the experiential basis of their fundamentally negative concept of government.  However, after objective analysis it’s the negative model of faction driven government that produces negative government with corresponding negative economic outcomes.  Democratic government based on sound principles does work to every ones benefit including the economic interests of the radical right faction.

            The Republican Party interests support good government, verses those of its members whose crimes, or fortune, or power, or limited experiences render them in some instances desperate to persist along a course that constitutes all that the individuals know, which is unfortunately along a path of folly.  Some extremist few will be disposed to persist, and a hard core nucleus might likewise contend who are lacking in other competitive abilities and hope to benefit by keeping things inert and moving along unchecked down the path to disaster; and, others may hope to bring things to a state of chaos, which none but irrational and ignorant individuals, or career criminals habituated to perverse appetites which would be hard to gratify, or bored people who use oppression as a cure for their ennui, or financially dependant individuals for whose finances make them desperate to continue activities reasonable, good, and decent citizens would never wish to see.  But it would be hard for the nations political prospects if the extremists among us dictate the character of party policies, not to mention honest common held views, or general tempore and conduct accepted for the majority of citizens, but, rather, by the private opinions based on 20 years of propaganda based on heinous acts designed to inflame passions and make people hate to an extent great enough to include embracing genocide, imputed by fanatics, or by temporary aberrant actions that created regrettable mistakes that took reason and common sense by surprise, or overwhelmed by violent passions which sometime or other betrayed the best intended individuals and even the best conducted bodies of men.  Democrat or Republican now form a two party symbiotic system; but, they’re now, for once in the history of the nation, not both recognizing sound principles of Democratic government, which the overwhelming majority of the people still believe in and believe them to hold, too; and, refuse to believe the horrible state that the Republican Party has descended.  The radically right faction controlled Republican Party, because of corrupt extortionist policies they pursued, being financially stronger than the political system will bear and currently embracing actions contrary to the current of our nation, which have already been mentioned now control all three branches of government.  The historical view of the two parties is that they both are broad and conclusive having a continuum of members from the liberal to the conservative, with the Democrat Party generally being the party that represented labors interests and the Republican Party being the party that represented big business.  This representation is not now what the two respective parties constitute.  The Republican Party stopped being the party that represented big business and became the party of faction after the Gerald Ford Presidency.  The radical right faction became disgruntled with Republican President Richard Nixon and exposed his criminal conduct during his re-election campaign, primarily because he got the United States out of the Viet Nam War which ran against the interests of the industrial-military but saved the nation further tragedy of needless deaths and political divisiveness, and the country’s prosperity which faltered under the economic dysfunction brought on by the war and caused the US to reel under the negative effects of stagflation.  What Republican Pres. Richard Nixon lacked as a warm human being he made up for in intelligence and independence, and functioning as the last effective pro business Republican President, he got the US out of Viet Nam, recognized Communist China, (both are the primary reasons for which the radical right faction could never forgive him, however the former reason was absolutely essential if he was to win re-election which he did: remember this was the second US President the radical right faction forced from office first, there was the military coup of Kennedy and then only eight years latter Nixon was forced to resign) he implemented the wage and price freezes, devaluated the US dollar in efforts to control the economy and removed the US from the gold standard, all moves which were based on sound government principles and good for the overall US economy.  The Republican Party was then displaced by the right wing with the Republican Party lurching to the political right, and the radical right factional driven policies overtly ruling the land.  The Democrat Party continued steadily down the path of Democracy except it became even broader and more inclusive than ever embracing pro-business policies that united both business and labor interests under the same political umbrella.  It’s interesting to point out that Republican Pres. Richard Nixon was the last effective leader from the Republican Party, the rise of faction brought on a deterioration of leadership, with the radical right employing first a retired actor to read lines provided for him and follow policies that he was given during the most corrupt Presidency in the history of our nation, the man was shot and suffered from Alzheimer while President and nobody noticed.  Then, the radical right lead Republicans chose an ex spy who oversaw genocide in Cambodia, secretly funding the Khmer Rouge through China; and, oversaw the Iran-Contra scandal in Central America, the only quality that he had was blind loyalty  and a willingness to violate law and follow vice ridden and corrupt policies, and his disastrous Presidency reflected that fact.  Republican Bush Jr. is probably the American nadir of Presidents which we have already discussed.  The difference in the quality of political figures between pre-faction and post faction is clear and obvious, these are men who do not serve as any kind of threat to the radical right faction to be able to function independently; and, they fit the expectation of impaired labor inputs, specially of impaired leadership, one expects from the inherently insecure faction’s tyrannical bad models of government.  The Democrat Party is comprised of members who have no disposition to sycophancy and do not function as slaves, hence the recent acrimony rising from Washington D.C. though they abet the unbridled power exercised by the Federal government that invades and violates American’s Civil Rights.   This is what the Rumor Mill concludes and thinks about the present state of parties and the contemporary effect of faction on labor inputs and leadership in the political arena in the United States.  These thoughts are expressed with open frankness and it is hoped they will be received without rancor and with the candor that they were expressed.  Thus ends the fifth discourse on the contemporary effects of faction.

 

 

 

                                                            II.

                                                INTERNET SPEED

            The radical right’s ongoing efforts to raise the illusion with the USA public of a drug traffic not dominated by the radical right rose to new heights of absurdity this month, when it was claimed by the propaganda machine that speed labs were independently trying to sell speed on internet.  The advantage to the radical right becomes immediately apparent, for they no longer have to face their share of responsibility for hypocritically setting up behind the scenes a situation, for propaganda purposes, they profess to oppose in public.  The problem with the contention is that it’s inherently ridiculous.  Speed freaks are some of the most paranoid individuals imaginable, and to realistically expect them to be willing to sell speed to total strangers sight unseen as it were, which is a felony in a situation where their wares are exposed to a hostile public with a far greater chance of the seller being set up and busted than successfully selling their product, is a comically absurd contention.  Nice try but no cigar.  If speed freaks are trying to sell speed on internet, then you can bet the farm that they where subliminally set up to do it.  Try utilizing the subliminal technology beneficially, by licensing it with careful records kept on how and why it’s used, which are independently monitored, and employing it to help people rather than hurt them.

            I for one welcome the contention, if true, which it obviously isn’t.  Because it means that we will soon have arrested another set of people who are acting irresponsibly by unsafely distributing a truly dangerous drug.  The contention that speed kills is true!  And, if it doesn’t those who abuse it soon feel so miserable that they almost wish that they were dead.

            The real story here is individuals who deliberately manipulate the public with misinformation, or contrive circumstances in such a way as to create false scenarios to stampede society into making mistaken decisions based on lies and misleading information.  This is generally done on purpose to further some extremist group’s private agenda, which isn’t reasonable enough to gain a majority of public support on the basis of its own merits.   At best society is stuck wasting money pursuing erroneous policies generating what has an overwhelming probability of being a less than optimum solution.  It’s axiomatic that just like with any other organized human endeavor, good government outcomes are directly related to good informational inputs.
