The Emergence of the Patriot Party

Perhaps we can learn a lesson from the the outgoing President about burning bridges.  Perhaps we can extrapolate the meaning and efficacy of the word "conservative."  If Trump was a true conservative and a true Republican, he would have played his cards differently.  Being conservative means just that.  Instead of laying out all your cards on the table in a large wager with much at risk, being conservative wisely holds back some of this risk in a calculated attempt not to lose so big.  (That is a huge run-on sentence, but I am not going to change it.)  My brain is not operating at top efficacy thanks to the military industrial complex.  Jump Master Flash went to work this morning at four o'clock a.m.  That means there are maneuvers at Fort Bragg.  Several years ago in February the temperature reached ninety degrees.  It was revealed a huge military "operation" had taken place in the drop zones at Fort Bragg.  Six hundred and fifty vehicles had been mustered in this exercise in preparation for the rapid deployment of the 82nd Airborne.  Our yard was so confused.  It thought it was spring, and most of our flowering foliage began to bloom then to be frozen in the remaining months of winter.  9/11 inflicted a wound in America that to this day has not healed.  It has not healed, because the response to 9/11 was systematic in our national defense.  9/11 has had such far reaching influences on our country, we have yet to regroup.  Still we are operating in this now antiquated perspective.  It is difficult to say if 9/11 was staged.  It if was precipitated by Americans, then the certain results was the Patriot Act, an unConstitutional piece of legislation which sacrificed the privacy of all Americans in one fell swoop.  Suddenly it was okay for Washington to eavesdrop on everyones' personal conversations.  It has never stopped.  Whether overt terrorist intent ever was uncovered is unclear, but the homeland has been secure.  It should be, because with the Patriot Act came a complete new department in the federal government, the Department of Homeland Security.  For all of the communists who maliciously shout "Socialism" trying to disguise the true nature of their desires, to be a part of the party in control providing equity to the people, another department in the bureaucratic red tape of Washington is just another source of income.  Our communists have been sucking on the teat of Washington for so long, they have lost sight of the fact that all ready America is a socialist entity.  Only it angers them when the revenue potentially may flow to the needy or deserved.  The party must stay in control, and therefore the wealth must flow to them.  The party.  The reality of America today, the stark juxtaposition of defunct Cold War politics with right wing extremism is starting.  Only is it about keeping the pieces of the pie, and no one wants the pie more than Southern Dixiecrats.  Somehow living in this vacuum of American culture and advancement has created a chapter in time that has stood still, at least that is what Dixiecrats thing and desire.  It is very simple.  Things forever will stay the same.  The pecking order remains constant.  Those in control and with power and influence will remain.  This precept, this very axiom is the foundation of the American South, and inherently it is oppressive.  If Donald Trump were a true Republican, and America has forgotten what that is, and if he were a conservative, he would have played his hand much differently.  It is easy to say an all out assault on America's Capital attempting to thwart the confirmation of state electoral votes and the confirmation of a new president was not the best approach.  Certainly this was not conservative.  If it is one thing we have learned, and it should be said loudly and clearly that the "new" Republican party, a party which has discarded most of its previous belief in lieu of a blind allegiance to a psychotic, self-proclaimed, autocratic dictator no longer is the Republican Party.  There is no Republican party.  This group of marauders easily who abandoned any legitimate or relevant platform of politics in favor of blind submission to power should be recast as what they are.  Evidently Mr. Trump is trying to forge his own party, this party, the Patriot Party.  Had Mr. Trump been a true conservative and a traditional Republican, he would have been a different leader.  Instead he ran under the guise or ruse of the Republican party because it was convenient and at his disposal.  It didn't take long to obliterate it completely and replace it with the ideals of his own political philosophy, extremism.  Donald Trump is a product of global politics, where traditional Democrat and Republican views are not well represented.  In this sense a change has occurred in American politics where are traditional system no longer is able to represent the needs and ideals of an evolving nation.  Would anyone think a Dixiecrat Party still is the best vehicle for leadership in the American South?  The answer is an unequivocal, "No."  The American South has shown their desire for progressive leadership instead choosing the strong black women who are in tune with an ever expanding demographic.  "Things Ain't What They Used to Be."  If Donald Trump had been a true conservative and a true Republican, he would not have won the Presidency.  He infiltrated the Republican party and radicalized it over the course of four years in the White House.  The Republican Party is no more, or at least what is left is whimper.  The fault and failure of the Republican Party is ubiquitous with the across the board failures of America in the past two decades.  What America has failed to do and with great effort and purpose is not to pass the torch to its younger generation.  Instead the incumbents chose to exploit their younger generation in a way only that could be considered fascist.  Graduating with massive financial debt for university level education.  Entering a "globalized" marketplace when much of the money and power in America actually is held in overseas banks.  Facing a manufacturing base which is a remnant of its former self.  The list goes one, but this was not a level playing field.  The intent was not to pass leadership, power, and affluence to a younger generation, it was to prop up a sick, narcissistic, childish group of American dough boys.  These men are responsible for the attack on the United States Capital.  Trump never was a Republican.  Never was he a conservative.  He is and always has been an extremist who found and energized a mostly dormant strain of American racism.  He sought to give notoriety to an undeserving band of malcontents, reap their support, and toss them to the wolves.  So he has as they are corralled by the FBI and brought to justice for their misdeeds.  Conservatism seeks to provide security for itself through methodological caution.  Instead of gambling big, Trump's chosen tool, conservatives scrimp and save for a rainy day.  Donald Trump chose to go out with a bang, and he has what is coming, complete censure by the United States government.  I don't think he is worried much about it.  It is a lesson we all can learn from.  At the moment the Donald has fallen from grace, and he is taking down the country with him.  We do not deserve to be dragged into his abyss.  We did not gamble big.  We did not radicalize the remnants of the Republican Party.  We did not insight insurrection and civil war in America.  Americans did not want this.  Only is it a ploy to disguise the transfer of power to a new and necessary regime, and they are going out kicking and screaming.  

Leland Shabeland

 I have to stimulate myself.  What's new?  Student are attempting to learn virtually at home on a computer.  It is a disservice to them.  Fucking Covid 19.  I am ready for my ears to stop ringing.  The big ass military train that pulled out of Fort Bragg at the beginning of the week.  Now it is in Leland being broken up into little pieces and sorted into Sunny Point.  It is a never ending prospect.  While this is happening the entire Southeastern part of North Carolina is under quarantine.  We are a huge military whore, a big black hole that the military climbs in and out of.  Nothing else much matters.  When they decide to practice war, we all are in on it.  There is no escape.  So I am blowing smoke, writing without discipline, running off at the mouth.  Why?  Because when this activity is happening interruption occurs on many levels.  I can't blame the military for my tinnitus.  I can blame Carnival for putting the keyboard player sitting on his amp in front of the drum kit.  His cymbals were in my left ear, and now I can't hear those top few tones.  I know when there is a plane, or train, or helicopter, because my left ear rings.  You can't get a straight answer out of anyone, that tinnitus is caused by low frequency sound waves or infrasound.  If you have any hearing loss, then those lost frequencies will ring when there is an infrasound wave around.  You can't hear it either.  You are being doubly assaulted by invisible sound that invades your tactile sensations and makes it difficult to hear.  There is a standing wave in your home that muddies up sound.  The television, musical instruments, or conversation all suffer.  The stereo image of my headphones gets pushed to one side.  It is fucked up.  No musical output, because I can't compete with it.  Never ending bullshit.  We had a nice break from it the previous weeks.  I was able to play the bass, record keyboards, and my Hammond organ.  Now we are in the waiting game.  When will it end.

The Autonomous Planet of Androids

 My personal wounds of loss have been well disguised for some time until now.  With the influx of Irish Catholic sentiment into the White House, necessarily my emotional psyche is being tweaked.  (The Apache helicopters don't help, nor does the idling SD-40-3 a few miles away)  No one ever will understand what an invasive technology AC Traction is.  No where in mainstream American life has low frequency alternating current been exploited on such a massive scale.  When choosing a system for America's power grid, there was a heated competition between DC and AC.  AC it was reported could kill you, and it did find several victims.  We choose alternating current but at a consistent frequency to run through our homes, power our appliances, and provide a service much needed by Americans.  It is a utility, a form of energy which augments our production and aids our existence.  The choice to harness AC on a larger scale and use it for transient transportation is a different matter.  The necessary challenge was not using a specific steady frequency of alternating current.  Until 1990 America had no way to change this chosen frequency anyway.  It remained 60 Hz, and products and services were made around this standard.  Enter the personal computer, specifically the Hewlett Packard.  With some sizeable achievements in the field of semiconductors, suddenly AC was available through an insulated gate bipolar transister (or IGBT) at varying frequencies which were engineered to coincide with the RPM's of an electric motor.  Of course this motor became known as an AC drive, a unit different from its sister DC motor.  With no brushes with which to wear out, its rotating magnetic field was efficient pulling the rotor of the motor.  What was more appealing was the software designed to control this electricity used to regulate the speed of the drive.  The speed of the drive or motor now was determinate on the frequency of the alternating current powering it.  The PC or personal computer made by Hewlett Packard was a core component in this new system.  It transformed diesel-electric locomotives from clunky mechanical beasts to well-tuned, smooth, and efficient movers of heavy freight.  The cost of and maintenance of this complex high voltage electrical system is an issue in its availability.  Over the course of thirty years since its invention, the rail industry mildly has been fickle on the attributes of AC traction.  The Norfolk/Southern initially decides not to invest in this technology, while CSX-T used it as a major tool in its corporate ascendancy.  Heavily they invested in AC powered locomotives with little knowledge of any of its effects on the environment.  If you chose to build mobile AC generating plants capable of outputting hundreds of thousands of volts of alternating current, placed these in a traditional locomotive and sent them on their merry way down the tracks, was is possible there could be environmental results?  Any bonafide engineer would tell you that characteristics of electricity are similar to the characteristics of acoustic sound.  They operate in waves, and these waves have peculiar abnormalities which produce harmonics, transients, and the like which may be perceived as undesirable.  If queried I am positive the Environmental Protection Agency would have not much to say on the matter.  I questioned representatives of the Federal Railroad Administration while living in Columbus, OH and they did not know what AC Traction was.  It can be extrapolated that thirty years down the pike the effects of AC traction have manifested themselves greatly in American society, and we have chosen to ignore it.  With the implementation of AC traction has evolved a bevy of illnesses which yet have been explained.  Still today we are grappling with the effects of Attention Deficit Disorder.  Largely it has been buried in the sand of red tape.  Big Pharma delights in each new disorder promptly offering a new miracle drug to quell its effects.  America and Americans are not the same, and largely if anyone paid attention it could be attributed to the effects of huge amounts of airborne low frequency alternating current.  Its effects, while not the same as electromagnetic energy, are similar.  This is why low frequency electricity of any kind is used sparingly in society.  Also it would be discovered that the HAARP facility in Alaska's task was to energize the ionosphere with long wave length low frequency radio waves.  They created a phased array system that would negate the use of the 150 miles antenna currently in use in the Midwest to communicate with naval submarines.  In terms of climactic results energizing the ionosphere would not be seen as a positive accomplishment.  Because of the magnitude of the corporate lobby, largely any of these adverse consequences of AC traction are overlooked.  Instead America suffers at the behest of a reinvigorated, newly profitable, and now powerful corporate conglomerate.  Not unlike Big Tech, Google, Facebook and Apple, the railroads have infiltrated our nation again with nary a care for the citizens who seek to use its services.  We are a distraction, and soon the distraction who provides the need for their product may disappear. 

The Larger Picture

The pressing topic on my mind is ignorance that breeds insolence.  Bad behavior was popularized by a trend in television programming.  I can't remember the year or the network, but one of the shows which exploited bad behavior was Jerry Springer.  Here was an intelligent man who sold out.  The green becomes the holy grail.  It does not matter the road taken, high or low.  Television became an example for what not to do.  It was renegade, and the harm it has done to American society is irreparable.  Reality TV followed, when in reality networks chose to dump talent because it was more expensive than exploiting common Americans.  It was not difficult to dupe the public on becoming the new slate of "actors" in these cheap and tawdry shows.  Evidently trash sells, and television never looked back.  Because Washington pulled the plug in public education, the youth of America have had to example to follow.  Their parents are too busy trying to make ends meet.  Teachers are being threatened and abused.  Television has turned to trash for programming.  It is no surprise America has become ignorant, addicted, and violent.  The pinnacle of this ignorance is openly Americans have discarded the notion that God has their back.  We feel so forsaken it has become incumbent upon us to determine our own gender.  The monstrosity of this idea, the sheer narcissistic audacity to believe we determine our own gender is representative of the impending fall of humankind.  If you are so self absorbed to believe that only your own personal issues are of consequence then America has failed you.  We have not provided the adequate social, religious, or cultural education for you to be a productive citizen.  The irony of this confusion, this willingness to ignore our own physiology in lieu of some erratic, by chance, malleable notion that we neither are male or female, the discarding of the far reaching rewards of human sexuality, only can be considered selfish.  If you only are able and willing to entertain your own opinions, then we arrive at 2016, a year characterized by overt opinion, division, and unwillingness to compromise.  It has been so well represented by a vindictive, dishonest, and divisive Republican party willing only to curry favor for immediate and superficial power in government, the example has been set.  It is no wonder we are in this predicament.  The truth really is those who feel this way, unsure of their own sex, have been forsaken by America.  They have been cast aside, alienated, and ignored by mainstream America.  They are the rejects, and to them the most important thing is vindication for themselves.  This is not the most effective station for a rewarding life in American society.  This divide, this separative movement has not been good for solidarity in America.  All ready we have become fractured in race and ethnicity.  Further divisions of America will prove not helpful in unifying a disparate populace.  To what have we and should we look to provide this unity?  Once it was sexuality.  Before Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, Jeffry Epstein, and the rest, sexuality once was the driving force of human life.  Never was it considered depraved, perverse, or rebellious.  It was a given.  It was manufactured and provided by God, our God to augment and fulfill our lives.  With devolution of America and her traditional values, sexuality has been perverted.  We have become wary, cautious, and doubtful of this innate human gift.  This is upsetting to me, because at the age of fifty-eight, still I am single.  Never before did I have to search for the reason for my human nature.  It was provided to me by my Creator, and I was grateful.  Now humans have interfered with this process, and this magical bond, this God-given spiritually-driven physicality is a shadow of its former self.  With the demise of overt heterosexuality will be the demise of the human race.  I am not a homophobe.  Fully I understand the need and desire for everyone to have someone.  If you are not cut out to gel with the opposite sex, then it is at your disposal to seek companionship elsewhere.  I do not believe this alternate choice should become a platform for your life, nor should it give you notoriety within American culture.  This is what the LGBT movement desires, recognition for their difference.  They want to be heralded simply because they are different.  Because they found difficulty mitigating a sometimes tenuous track of heterosexual romance, they are to be celebrated.  I will be blunt in my opinion.  Get in line.  Why should a lesbian be given greater consideration over a man?  The answer is it is a ploy.  It is a ploy which has been devised and implemented to favor the LGBT community.  You are lesbian and so you prefer the sweet nectar of women as opposed to the foul stench of males testicles?  Get in line.  Why should you step to the front of the line?  It has been the same for thousands of years.  Just now lesbian women are realizing the ultimate prize of the female?  The female form has been prized since its inception, so it is no great surprise recently empowered butch women decide they want the same.  I don't respect this perspective.  I am surrounded by man hating lesbians each day I venture out of the house.  Like the newly targeted and oppressed white devil of the middle-aged Caucasian man, I now am the target for the wrath and failure of American society.  Most of this is because of Republican, Dixiecrat, aspirational autocrats operating in the pattern of Strom Thurman.  Certainly Senator Lindsey Graham sets no example of a pattern of exemplary behavior for American living.  He is a known hypocrite, deserter, and traitor.  If you look at the United States Senate, no longer do we have any shining examples of exemplary behavior.  Instead we have a promulgation of Reality TV, altercation created for monetary reward.  This is a failure of Capitalism.  When a nation becomes so smug and powerful that survival becomes trite, rest assured at some point that necessary survival once again will present itself in real time with a threatening of our environment, a coup of our government, or the health and well being of our people.  It is here.  It is time for greater ideals once again to take root solidifying the American way and attempting to provide the support system each and every one of us so desperately need.  It is time to stop being selfish and see the bigger picture.  

Time to Remember

Acknowledging your wounds is a necessary step in the healing process.  When one acknowledges a wound several realizations occur. If you have a wound, it means you have been harmed either by a conscious attack or an accident with dangerous repercussions.  In either case a wound is a serious affair.  It cannot be ignored.  It must be recognized, understood, and reparations must be made.  The more volatile result is the accountability for the inflicted wound.  Herein lies a deep philosophical conundrum, whether to seek retribution against the former President for the harm he has caused the nation, or move on somehow hoping that he will just disappear and his dangerous alliance will evaporate into thin air.  Everyone in America knows the answer to this predicament.  After a heinous attack on an in session Congress, leniency should not be allowed.  Those responsible for planning and implementing this overt assault on American democracy will be held accountable.  Never has it been more necessary to instill American justice through her Constitutional and legal processes.  Joe Biden's inauguration was a metaphor for America's renewed commitment to decency, honesty, and justice.  It is startling how ready the Biden regime is.  They have been preparing for this juncture in time for almost half a century.  It is tragic and lamentable that in our current system, it could take half a century for an opportunity to present itself.  This would be the definition of hard work and dedication to one's job.  I am quick to point out that musician Jeff Lorber had to wait forty years to received his much deserved Grammy award.  His pioneering recordings of the late 1970's were ground breaking in the field of jazz and popular music, so ahead of us he had to back peddle four decades to reap the recognition of his achievements.  This seems to be the way of America.  The Academy is a fickle spinster, and if one does not satisfy the requisite and predetermined criteria set forth by a very small body of seeming professionals, one is not invited into the fold.  I have come to realize this in and of itself is the great tragedy of life.  William Shakespeare realized that tragedy is all that life is.  It is how we handle the tragedy that determines our character, and yet it gets tiresome.  The year 2020 has been tiresome, and we are in the process of assessing and mitigating our wounds.  While in the throes of battle, necessarily it is better not to dwell on our wounds.  We must keep fighting.  Now that Donald Trump has been removed from the Presidency and no longer is an immediate threat to Americans, the severity of his attack clearly is visible.  For the first time clearly we can assess the attack which has been made on the American people.  It is disturbing.  It is upsetting, and it is painful.  What is painful is the loss which has occurred.  It was not clear to me until watching the inauguration on television how much America has suffered.  It is the little things.  Donald Trump represented a type of being not characterized by the teachings of Jesus Christ.  He was not capable of human empathy, hence the last four years of the American Presidency have been rife with inhuman sentiments.  There has been little culture of any kind.  It was not until Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, and Garth Brooks sang patriotic songs again at the Capital with the Marine band I realized how much we have been deprived as a nation.  The patriotism, the pageantry, and the heraldry of American life and governance largely has been absent from our lives.  These cultural practices, these institutions, and these humanities are what augment our lives and make the meaningful.  Instead during the four years of the Trump Presidency we have had communism.  Rest assured what we have experienced is no different than what has existed in America since her inception.  It has been a "Red Scare" and that red fully is the red of Communism.  It is the red of Communist China, and the red of the USSR.  It is the red of North Korea, and our former President was a red sympathizer.  His wife's father was a high ranking official in the Communist party.  The problem is seventy million Americans who voted for Donald Trump will not admit what they really are.  As a wave of feeling floods back into the White House, a dangerous dichotomy has been created.  Bleeding heart Liberal sentimentality while necessary to restore a moral conscious for America also is a ripe target for those with Red sentiments.  It belies my intrinsic human mechanism to try and understand how the color of one's skin or the sound of one's voice in any way can be considered inferior to anyone else.  Yesterday I realized if America only had been white for her short lifetime, what would we be?  Would country music be the only voice of expression for Americans?  While there is great strength in the body of America's country music, and largely it is the soul of our struggles against great odds, it is not the only voice.  America always has been diverse.  We are a nation of immigrants.  African-Americans were captured and enslaved and brought to America against their wills.  Their presence in the moral conscience of America is more important than others, so white America never will be finished with the task of accommodating their opinions.  Their influence and deserving acceptance in the realm of American life never will change, and we are  a richer nation because of it.  American Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, Gospel, and Rock 'n' Roll would not exist without black lives, and most Americans are content to acknowledge this authorship.  These things make America human and give us a soul.  With this soul comes vulnerability.  As Trump recedes from the American battlefield, for the first time we are able to see clearly the damage that has been wrought. The wounds are fresh, and the brutality of an unmitigated global pandemic is continuing to kill.  Quickly we must button up the damage, formulate a new plan, and find a way to restore health and happiness in American life.  We have been fighting so long, it is difficult to remember how.

America, a Job Well Done

 What exactly is the ruckus?  What is it the QAnon followers want?  What are they seeking in America?  For what issue exactly are they protesting?  "Stop the steal?"  Truly somehow they believe that the Democratic National Party, a political party after being in the minority for four years under a fringe Republican president with no platform who led their Republican party astray with demagogic rhetoric, somehow has masterminded a criminal infiltration of the nation's electoral process?  Instead of legally and logically mounting their own campaign, in the true spirit of American politics and in full support of the Constitution, exercising one of the greatest attributes of our democratic republic, appropriately launching, running, and winning a presidential election, instead criminally they chose to commit voter fraud and tamper with the process and the result.  Let me make one thing perfectly clear.  Everything that Donald Trump ever has said either is a confession or a projection.  They only way he and Rudy Giuliani could ever purport such a far fetched thing is because they themselves thought of it.  They delved into the electoral process four years ago, it corners, pockets, and landmines and staked it out for future exploitation.  How do you think Donald Trump won in 2016 losing the popular vote by a large margin?  It was a shock to everyone, because no one was prepared at that time for the possibility of such fraudulent and criminal behavior.  We had yet to learn of Trump's criminal nature, because it had been well disguised all of these years.  Four year later when the lawsuits began to unfold, pointless, unsubstantiated, unproven assertions that were systematically discarded by the judicial system on all accounts for lack of substance, then we began to see what had happened all ready in 2016.  Threaten state legislatures with mob violence and force them to disqualify their own state appointed electors on a moot point, and replace these electors with Trump sympathizers.  Easy capeazy.  Done.  Election won.  The trouble was four years later it wouldn't work, so with Donald's projection of his own guilt, he blames it on the Democrats.  Because his supporters were not familiar with their own ruse, somehow they projected it on the Democrats.  Even after immense voter suppression, the closing of four thousand polling places in the state of Georgia, the objections to aids to help people vote during a national pandemic that could threaten their lives, after massive voter suppression the Democratic Party rallied, registered new voters, urged democrats to brave hell and high water, and overcame treasonous odds to honestly win.  For them it's like it couldn't be done, because they wouldn't know how.  Black people accomplishing something as important as flipping the Senate?  What do they want?  They are afraid of being governed by people of color, because they think people of color are inferior to them.  If America was honest and chose to magnify the accomplishments of minority races they we have in the past, it would not be a difficult thing to understand.  How many decades has America hummed along with and danced to Motown songs?  Berry Gordy?  Issac Hayes?  Smokey Robinson?  How often have we loved black comedians like Richard Prior who are brave enough to tell the truth about America?  This newly energized racist slant is so shallow, pointless, and fruitless to everyone, only can it be a ploy to grab power.  Donald Trump and his family have no substance.  They have no interest in anything other than themselves, and it has been proven for four long years.  They do no value American culture.  They do no value music, theater, cinema, or visual art.  I believe they are not capable of understanding it.  They have proven themselves to be the most inhuman posse ever to grace Washington, DC.  Trailer trash of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  It is fortunate we did not see more of them as they acted out their soap opera in the White House.  The country is in a downward spiral, because it has to be managed.  It has to be managed and administered like a finely-tuned corporation, and the entirety of the American populace are its employees.  It is not unlike Socialism, because a nation does not operate divided.  There must be solidarity, and sense of unity of spirit and purpose for a nation to exist.  Donald's methodology is based upon third world country politics, and he was wagering that we were that stupid.  The problem was the sheer greatness of America arose and defeated him.  He did make America great, great enough to see through his ruse and remove him from power.  It was a job well done.

A Bad Investment

 Today's Topic:  Trump is ejected from the White House.  It would be a good idea for everyone to read Michael Cohen's book.  If anyone has credible insight into the Trump presidency, it would be a long time Trump employee, partner, loyalist, and forsaken confidant.  It must be a sour taste, sour grapes.  I once was accused of "sour grapes."  Perhaps it was true.  When you are young and in the throes of ambition trying to plot your career path, the humors are volatile.  As we age emotional chemical energy may subside like testosterone.  Perhaps a soul is created when potential, great potential, energy, and ambition are caged, diverted, or quelled completely.  Is this soul a necessity.  Is it the prohibition of opportunity which creates this soul?  I think this is part of it, the necessary existence of pain from denial which energizes  at least part of the soul.  Possibly it forges a commitment.  Is this soul, this realization of disappointment necessary for an artistic and well-rounded perspective?  Does it fuel the creative performance in a way which is helpful, meaningful, and communicative?  I am not sure of the answer to this question.  Three decades down the pike I see no value to the denial of opportunity.  Only it results in the oppression of human expression.  It stymies creativity, personal voice, and productivity.  It is a wound which over time must be mitigated.  Perhaps this lengthy process of healing is what is of more value to an artist.  It would be of value to any aware human being, awareness being a solid philosophical holistic process which seeks to aid human existence by being aware of our enemies, the daily environmental processes which attack our natural and free-flowing existence.  The growing pains of America right now in 2021 directly are related to this refusal to pass the torch to a younger generation.  A Boomer generation and their predecessors, necessarily a strong and empowered American contingency, is and has refused to pass their torch to a younger America.  During the era of Viet Nam, a decade of extraneous and heinous foreign imperialism resulting in a ten year war in a country with whom we had no relationship or understanding, resulting in the death and destruction of both the Vietnamese and Americans, the youthful generation were empowered.  Their souls were wounded with senseless inanity.  The violence and death became so intimate,  omnipresent, and inevitable in our own lives, a stand had to be taken.  The "Hippie" movement was born of a desire for peace and love, and it was a good thing for America.  In 2020 our Hippie movement is Black Lives Matter.  The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's necessarily has been rekindled in response to widespread police corruption in America.  Racial violence instigated this movement on both sides, senselessly killing African-Americans only from misunderstanding, but fueling a counterculture which defeated a maniacal, bigoted, tyrannical, communist dictator who inexplicably became the President of the United States.  With absolute political cunning and personal charisma this man rallied an extremist base and almost overthrew the American democratic republic.  Part of the responsibility and blame for this coup squarely rests upon America's incumbency.  Covertly the peaceful transfer of power for which America seeks all ready has been thwarted.  Slowly over time in our political system power, instead logically and systematically of being transferred from one generation to another, power has been amassed by not changing the guard.  This oppression has occurred in many arenas in America.  It is evident in academia, corporate America, and government, both local and federal.  America's anachronistic system of the "Old South," "Old Money," or "Feudalism" has stymied a much needed progressive agenda necessary to keep up with technological sprawl inherent in an internet-based society.  The World Wide Web covertly has undermined America's traditional information systems including newsprint, newspapers and periodicals, broadcast news, television and radio, and the educational system which seeks to enlighten individuals through our system of public education.  America has been under siege, and it has been by "Social Media."  What developed as a seemingly harmless and entertaining popular cultural phenomenon, aggressively and violently was radicalized through the dissemination of propaganda and misinformation not unlike the predictions of "Big Brother" in George Orwell's novel "1984."  It took three and a half decades to come to fruition in America, and it took eight more years for the cataclysmic predictions of 2012 to surface.  This event could have been prevented, if the peaceful transfer of power all ready had been implemented in America's infrastructure.  If America had continued to chose to invest in her younger generation through education with the consensual passing of the torch, this coup could have been prevented.  Instead Washington decided to promulgate the power of its incumbency in both the civil and governmental arenas refusing to allow fresh blood to flow into American life.  The staid, anachronistic, and lifeless policies of an socially and economically oppressive regime sought to keep power in America.  When the sheer power of our Constitution and its policies triumphed in ensuring the peaceful transfer of power to a newly elected regime, we are surprised that process is bridled with aberrations.  It is laden with resistance.  As with each recent transfer of power by the electing of a new President, a metaphorical dive into the cookie jar appears.  With W. is was the TARP assets.  With Obama it was the Affordable Care Act.  With Trump it is his crony business associates.  It always is a matter of which corrupt contingency will be successful getting America's money through Washington.  Corporate America and their defense contractor subsidiaries have exhausted our domestic supply.  There is no money left in the hands of the middle and lower class to line their pockets anymore.  They have moved on to government.  Like America raped and pillaged the new territories of Alaska by over fishing and hunting, we have raped and pillaged our domestic homeland and thrown her to the wolves.  Only are the words of the outgoing Secretary of Defense necessary to understand this attempted coup.  "Russia is doing things well." 

The Wrong Leader

 A lot of things are spinning around right now.  The establishment is trying to make heads or tails of the siege on the United States Capital.  Only can it be labeled a covert attack, because its nebulousness disguised its true potential.  We are finding that a much more egregious intent was possible.  Caches of weapons have been found.  The depth of the uprising was further than could have been imagined.  It was a stunningly strategic tactical maneuver this attack instigated by Trump.  Our President has been a master of the obvious.  His rantings are so extreme yet so honest, they are difficult to believe.  We laugh at them, because we have been afraid to take them seriously, until now.  As the Washington community wades through the debris discerning perpetrators, motive, and intent, Trump's base also is discerning their own deception.  It is a strong statement when a real estate broker from Texas says she was only following the urges of her President.  Touche.  The President of the United States incited a riot in an attempt to delay the confirmation of the new President of the United States.  It was a full fledged coup, but his base didn't know it.  They were in it for the sport, for the rush, and for the fix.  This is how extremists operate.  It is about visceral stimulation.  It is a sporting event.  While protest still was the overt result, lives were lost.  This event came dangerously close to becoming the onset of full blown civil war.  Luckily reason prevailed, but the damage was done.  A line must be drawn between civility, government, and crime.  Slowly the Trump base is beginning to understand they were the product of a deception.  They have been deceived and left standing in the lurch.  They did not win.  They did not choose the appropriate side in American governance.  The misinformation about the Democrats, the utter lies with no basis in any reality with which to stoke a fire, was fruitless, because it was not true.  Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are not coming for your guns.  They are not coming to censor your speech or written words.  They are not going to commandeer the Republic and give it to the socialists.  The radical ideas of Bernie Sanders were not enough to win him the election, hence Joe Biden won.  America is not ready for socialized medicine, education, or income, and we knew it.  Joe Biden is going to help America far more than Donald Trump ever could.  He may not make you feel good doing it.  He may not blow charisma and charm your way.  He may not suckle your teat like you want, but Joe is going to help America.  He is grounded in reality like most Americans who were not born into spoils.  Joe knows what reality is.  He knows what loss is.  It is these things he intends to address as President of the United States.  How could any American, red or blue, say that vaccine distribution is not a priority?  Over three hundred thousand Americans have died from this virus, and they will continue to die without help.  Those who somehow believe that wearing a mask is an infringement of their rights need a reality check.  A nation cannot sustain divided, and if it is rapidly it will die.  A nation only can live with solidarity, because it takes a village to survive.  The cavalier nature of red is young, dumb, and full of cum, and I am sick of hearing it.  Vanity in a nutshell.  The work of the devil on your sleeve.  Without the presence of God to make you feel something, we are doomed.  This is why this event happened.  Sport.  Adrenalin.  Vanity.  Power.  Immaturity.  Those shallow enough to think that they are the only thing that matter.  The high school football jock.  The head cheerleader.  A popularity contest, because education has failed in America.  The need and desire to study history, context, philosophy, and government are moot.  We are too busy trying to have fun, because our environment is so polluted by industrial waste we can't remember what gender we are much less whom we are supposed to love.  America never has been more confused.  Misguided, but misguided on purpose with full knowledge of the its purpose and its intent.  Inciting civil war.  That is the crime for which the President is guilty.  Treason.  He must be tried and convicted and sentenced to prison.  Four years of ignorance, rhetoric, and disinformation, and still we are living in the Trump sewer being dragged into a civil war instigated by nothing more than skin color.  Black Lives are smart enough to "stand down," while this insurrection plays out.  Let the extremists burn out.  Let them get it out of their systems, because when Trump leaves Washington their movement is over.  A career criminal can be no leader once exposed.  I do not think it will take long for red America to understand.  Whatever it was they wanted, whatever rush of power or ego boost they desired, will be put in check.  When the lives of our own children are at risk from an airborne disease, at some point you will realize that White Power is not important.  All lives matter.  If capitalism was working, then Americans would not be pitted against one another.  If jobs were spread evenly to all Americans, if we made a living wage, and if women were respected in the workplace, this would not be an issue.  America has soiled herself.  The Harvey Weinsteins, the Bill Cosby's, and the Rupert Murdochs have shat in their own beds, and now they have to sleep in it.  It was a failure of leadership not unlike Nazi Germany.  We right here in America have seen how close you can come to complete and total decimation of a nation under the tutelage of an insane dictator.  Who knew it would be Trump?

The Motive of Covid

I want to take a moment to reflect upon health.  Without complaining, belly aching, or expressing sour grapes, I have been through the mill with health concerns over the last few years.  I have come to understand that Covid 19 possibly played a role in the severity of my illness.  We are discovering that many of those who have died from the Corona Virus, actually are dying from other underlying conditions or complications.  As of right now I am not clear on the nature of this virus.  It would seem because our President miraculously recovered from this illness, the effects of its intrinsic pathogen could be flu like.  The more pressing issue is that this virus masquerades as a flu, but in reality it is much more.  It has been called a vascular ailment, a disease that affects the blood vessels and causes them to leak.  Any kind of previous or underlying condition such as a bacterial or fungal infection is exacerbated.  Those dying are slated with a variety of internal organ failures.  This suggests this virus was conceptualized as a biological weapon.  It upon discovery is much more covert and thus effective than an anthrax assault or some other gross and brutal neurotoxin.  It is doing exactly what its designers intended.  As of now we do not know who these people are.  Speculation could run the gamut.  Iran.  China.  Russia.  My instincts tell me it is more likely the United States who built this weapon as Judy Mikovits said in the documentary, "Plandemic."  Fort Dietrich in Baltimore, MD and the labs in North Carolina were her exact words.  It is unconscionable that domestic terrorists of America have unleashed this covert attack on our populace achieving their goal of thinning out the American population.  Those dying are the ones deemed appropriate.  Minorities, the aging, and the sick all have been targeted with this specific pathogen.  Somehow in my own personal dealings with health, specifically in my inability to purchase health insurance, I have had to contend with this assault.  I have been writing about ensuing civil unrest in America for several years, and now it has made itself known in the form of a deadly pathogen which covertly can be released at will on specific targets.  While I am fairly certain I have had the Corona virus, whence it came I do not know.  My underlying illnesses were enough to make it severe like others.  It became urgent for me to understand and find a solution for these ailments.  As I have written before H. Pylori is problematic for the G.I. tract.  With its cessation by antibiotic drugs often a fungal component will be energized, thus you must content with two infections at the same time or at least in sequence.  I was subject to a Candida invasion resultant from the antibiotics used to kill H. Pylori.  While your digestive issues resolve including acid reflux and nausea, "leaky gut" makes itself known.  Your G.I. tract becomes permeable and toxins begin to leak into your abdominal cavity.  This causes all kinds of problems including cramping and dire pain.  Alcohol becomes a powerfully harmful substance with the onset of leaky gut promulgated by Candida albicans.  You must stop drinking alcohol completely and take antifungal drugs for three months to impede this condition.  I have done this twice, and the first time it was extremely successful.  The second time unbeknownst to me I had contracted a Staph infection from working in our yard.  It could have come from anywhere.  My feet have had a fungal infection since I began working on cruise ships.  These open wounds on my feet are susceptible to a Staph infection from dirt in the yard blowing into my boots.  This was a continuous scenario for me for quite a few years, and my health woes escalated.  Openings in the skin, bacteria, and fungus will result in an internal infections of which I began to suffer.  I was aware of the effects of Candida on my abdomen, and it was not pleasant.  Then the staph infection crept in surreptiously complicating my situation.  Immediately I was pallid.  My skin yellowed, and I knew I was sick.  I just didn't know it was bacterial.  I was not aware there was such a thing as a systemic skin infection.  I was familiar with the fungal infection, because it is visible.  I think it was Covid 10 that force my hand.  I was deathly ill, lethargic, confused, and in pain.  My kidneys hurt.  I began to take Cipro, and took the dosage in full strength for a full two weeks.  Surprisingly as well as healing my kidneys, more importantly it addressed my pale and diseased skin.  As how it recovered with antifungal medication, it did a similar thing after taking the Cipro.  The Staph infection finally was quelled.  The down side was the Cipro energized the continual fungal infection I had had for several years.  Acutely I remember planting our spring garden in 2020.  I picked and plowed a new plot in our yard that received more sun.  This particular plot needed soil revitalization, so I spent a lot of time on my hands and knees with my hands in the dirt.  The exact moment I breathed in fungal spores was cemented in my soul.  Immediately my lungs filled up with shit.  I had been clear and strong up until this time.  This was a different fungus, and from which there are a lot to choose.  All of them thrive in soil and decaying wood.  I am not stranger to such things, because I have enjoyed working in our nearby woods for decades.  Never have I hesitated tackling a fallen tree, enveloping vines, or eroding soil.  I never thought it could make me deathly ill.  I ended up with a Staph bacterial infection and a serious fungal infection at the same time.  One of them spread from the urinary tract to my pelvis, to my spine, and began to creep up my back into my head.  These symptoms were new, inciting, and menacing.  First my back began to ache, then my hips, then my buttocks.  It crawled up my spine between my shoulder blades and into one side of my head.  I had "altered sensations" on one side of my body from the resultant transverse myelitis.  It became meningitis when it entered my brain.  Needless to say I knew I was sick, but without health insurance it was up to me to figure out these pathogens.  The Cipro killed the Staph infection in my skin, but my muscles and joints still were under assault.  My mobility greatly was compromised, so I began antifungals.  Almost overnight the pain in my back stopped and my fluidity of motion returned.  It was like a miracle.  I discovered a combination of antibiotic and antifungal that was necessary to address my concerns.  It is an ongoing process.  Infrasound is an instigator of illness as well as electromagnetic energy.  When they are present your other weaknesses are exposed.  I do not know if without Covid these infections would have presented themselves as severely.  Leaking blood vessels are a dire threat to any human weakness, and often the human body can combat mild bacterial and fungal invasions.  As we are seeing with the current pandemic, Covid 19 will become the biggest killer of our generation.

Attempted Assasination

 It is obvious the next step in the domestic terrorist insurrection will be an attempt on Joe Biden's life during the inauguration.  We have not seen such an event since the attempt on Ronald Reagan's life in the 1980's.  It would be prudent for the security detail in Washington to be aware of such an attempt.  While the attack on the Capital seemed haphazard and undefined, a sniper attack on the President elect is more plausible.  It would be sanctioned, paid for, and desired by the Trump regime.

There is a Fungus Amungus

The Virus is on the prowl, and it is not AIDS.  The last virus America intimately knew, and this was a long time ago, was HIV.  HIV hit home, because its targets largely were intravenous drug users and homosexuals.  Judgements were made, and whether the disease was or was not some kind of punishment from God, its effect was severe.  The most unsettling aspect of HIV was that hundreds of thousands of its victims could have been saved.  Judy Mikovits was responsible for the discovery of the important drugs effective in trying to treat HIV.  The word is her research was canned, until the appropriate patents could be obtained for these drugs benefiting powerful players in the CDC.  Her contention includes Anthony Fauci.  (Have a look at these patents)  His name is on most of them.  After the patents had been obtained and several years went by, treatment became more effective.  In the meantime hundreds of thousands of victims died.  Several feature films have been made about the AIDS virus, and they are worth watching.  Politics always is in play in human life, and it is a pity.  There have been other viruses.  Ebola.  Bird Flu.  H1N1.  SARS.  None of them have had the far reaching effects of Covid 19.  There is a simple answer to the reason why minority Americans are dying more often than others.  African-Americans and Latinos are a larger percentage of the fatalities.  Considering both racism and discrimination in America, simply these ethnic groups are not privy to the same health care as white Americans.  Bluntly put, if you are sick from Covid 19 and don't have health insurance, why would a hospital treat you?  They know in most likelihood you can't pay their bill.  Recently I was refused a referral to a urologist in Fayetteville.  They called and asked if I had "film," of which I did not.  I had no X rays, no CT scan or MRI.  The ones I did have were several years old.  In treating an enlarged prostate I never was told to have imaging done, especially of the area in the human body that is so low it can be difficult to see.  I have had kidney stones, and this was evidenced on my older scans.  The problem I was having needed new diagnosis and treatment.  I wanted a cystoscopy where the doctor inserts a scope into the urethra to view the bladder and other accompanying organs.  I did not get far, because this urologist would not consent to see me as a new patient without scans of some kind.  What?  I suspect the more pertinent reasons was I don't have health insurance through an employer, and subsequently I am categorized as "self-pay."  Red flag.  They think you can't pay, and they don't want to bother with you.  Doctors' offices prefer to deal with insurance companies, because it is easier than providing an itemized list of services and simply charging the patient for them.  Some doctors in more progressive state clinics have moved to this method.  The insurance industry in America has become problematic, especially when normal working Americans cannot obtain the appropriate health care.  Barack Obama changed some of this with his Affordable Care Act.  It also added a considerable percentage to the national debt.  Medicaid expansion was offered to many states to try to cover people, but the Republican lead legislature in Raleigh turned it down leaving millions uninsured.  I am one of those people.  When I worked in the cruise industry, my health care was included and effective.  They take care of their workers.  In mainstream America now we are on our on.  I have been struggling with health issues since I returned to North Carolina.  A large part of these problems have been caused by contact with the soil.  I have suffered from a number of bacterial and fungal infection which have become systemic.  I will admit that my fungal hygiene has not been good.  When reflecting upon my work habits in our yard over the last years, they have been suspect.  I never thought pathogens in the soil, decaying wood, and bird droppings could make you gravely ill.  I have had to suffer through it to learn and come to understand these maladies.  Without waxing philosophic, my problems began with a failed filling in a tooth.  Because the filling failed and I was at sea on a ship, the problem went undiagnosed for several months before it turned into a full fledged tooth ache.  By the time I made it to the oral surgeon in Sydney, the nerve in this tooth already was dead.  The oral surgeon, who spoke Russian, remarked he could smell the decay.  A root canal and a crown later, the H-pylori bacteria had made its way into my gut.  I was given an endoscopy in Malaga by the King's doctor.  He detected H-pylori, and so I was prescribed a two week course of antibiotics which did curb this digestive problem.  The issue is, and it is a BIG one, that often antibiotics can trigger a respective fungal infection.  Thus my health woes began.  Candida began to grow eventually giving me "leaky gut."  Never in my years of drinking alcohol had I ever had a problem with it, but if your digestive tract becomes permeable and toxins leak out into your abdominal cavity, mayhem will ensure.  It is a balancing act to treat either or both infections effectively.  I realized this and took a lengthy course of anti-fungal medication without drinking.  My mobility issues were healed in a few short months.  Painful movement, joints, and muscles returned to normal but quickly returned with the imbibing of alcohol.  The sugar in alcohol feeds the yeast infection, so it is self defeating.  From then on alcohol became a curse.  It lost its once favorable effect.  To this day my use of alcohol as an aid to mental health has been compromised.  It has been a difficult year, because of the Corona Virus.  I was plagued with a staph infection from a spider bite unbeknownst to me, and breathed in fungal spores that set up shop in my lungs.  I have been pallid for over a year.  The fungal medication did not stop my yellowed skin, because there was a bacterial infection as well.  Only upon taking antibiotics and antifungals in the proper sequence did my skin finally return to normal.  This was not before the fungus made its way into my spine, brain, and heel bones.  My hips began hurting a year ago, and my pelvis was compromised.  After I was exposed to the Coronavirus both infections became systemic, and I was a walking zombie.  I developed transverse myelitis, and one half of my body became abnormal.  I had pain on one side of my penis only.  My back ached, and slowly it began to make its up up to my head.  I developed a stiff neck, headaches, and confusion.  This was spinal meningitis.  Needless to say these events were extremely disturbing and life threatening, and I knew it.  Somehow I stumbled upon the appropriate combination of these drugs, of which prescriptions were provided with the aid of a local doctor.  After the staph infection was eradicated, the fungal infections, which were a combination of Candida, Aspergillus (black mold), or Blastomyces or Coccidioides  easily were tempered with Diflucan.  What had become a several year sickness almost overnight was quelled.  These fungal infections are prone to reoccur, so one must monitor at all times.  In my case the presence of Covid 19 exacerbated these infections.  It is the same effect that is killing hundreds of thousands of Americans.  Leaking blood vessels caused by a storm of bradykinin breaks down the blood brain barrier and other systems.  In pulmonary episodes the lungs fill with a jelly-like substance suffocating the patient.  Covid often is a fatal, but because it amplifies other serious conditions.  Fungal infections are on the rise, and if we paid attention to them and their sources, perhaps a global pandemic could have been thwarted.  

Securing our Airspace

The first step in mitigating the Coronavirus outbreak is securing America's airspace.  Air in America has been under siege longer than the Democrats.  With Donald Trump's stooge Presidency vital agencies of the United States government have been rendered impotent including the Environmental Protection Agency.  Misinformation campaigns have become the tool of choice for traitors.  I have been blogging about complex, difficult, and controversial policies for twenty-five years, but I have done it with kid gloves.  All Americans acutely are aware we live in a little black box controlled by the rich.  You best tread lightly if you want to keep your job.  Until the outbreak of Covid 19 my issues of choice seemed fringe.  After living through a year of plague and pestilence, the logical ramifications of my concerns have solidified.  If our environment is uncontrolled and dirty, how is it possible for humans to stay healthy?  A traitorous contingency of big money has done everything in their power to conceal the most simplistic requirements of human life.  The best example is found in Fayetteville, the city of history, heroes, and a hometown feeling.  With governmental deregulation industry has run amuck.  Emissions have escalated leaving the environment polluted.  President Trump suggested that adequate compensation should be enough to quell a vocal response to this injustice.  People are dying, and they would not be dying in such large numbers if our environment were protected.  Blame Scott Pruitt.  Big business uncannily thinks protecting the environment is not necessary.  Always I have questioned the positioning of local industries on the banks of the Cape Fear River.  Fayetteville hosts a myriad of manufacturing plants all dotting the banks of this river.  Goodyear, DAK Americas, Cargill, Valley Proteins, Hexion, and Chemours all have taken up residence largely hidden from scrutiny in the Cape Fear River Valley.  Always I have suspected they were releasing toxins into the water.  Why else would they be there?  It is too convenient.  The precedent already has been set in Parkersburg, WV decades ago when DuPont release C8 into the watershed.  When investigated, prosecuted, and penalized for this negligent emission, simply they changed the name of the toxin and sold its manufacturing rights to the Chinese.  Promptly they set up shop in Fayetteville along the banks of the Cape Fear River and continued murdering thousands of innocent victims.  Extrapolating from this heinous behavior and witnessing a rogue President attack his own government, it is evident that America is under siege not from Islamic Extremists but from domestic terrorists.  The white collar factions runs these industries, and the blue collar faction have been summoned like dogs to the hunt.  A survey of this corridor, the Cape Fear River manufacturing conglomerate, is in order.  Instinctually never have I conceded to drink the swamp water of the Cape Fear River.  One only has to look at its cypress laden mud to realize it is not healthy for human use.  Whether bathing in it or using it to brush your teeth, this water is contaminated.  Always it has been, and that is a contributing factor to increased morbidity in Cumberland Country.  Upon examination of this Cape Fear River Manufacturing Conglomerate, we must address its support structure including transportation.  In recent years the railroads in America have had a renaissance.  A campaign has been launched largely that crippled the independent trucking industry.  A suspicious "green" rail industry emerged which far was from gangrenous.  Under the guise or ruse of "green," both CSX and Norfolk Southern continued to invest in dirtier equipment and taking advantage of the absence of the EPA.  While they were forced to adhere to some Tier standards for emission for hydrofluorocarbons, their climate footprint has been overlooked.  Carbon emissions only are a part of the problem with the environment.  While they do create greenhouse gases and trap toxins in the atmosphere, also they are producing heat in large quantities.  This is the grift.  Heat is a difficult issue to mitigate, with which the world is grappling.  There is another element to the rail industry unbeknownst to most.  The traitorous contingency of Trump would just say it doesn't exist, because we can't see it.  We can't see millimeter waves that envelope our daily existence, and their transmitters by sheer presence have become accepted into our consciousness.  Not long ago there were federal regulations restricting the placement of cell phone towers.  Now they have encroached into our personal zones beside schools, near shopping centers, and even in our neighborhoods.  Airborne electricity is a large problem today for human health.  With the polluting of our water, the releasing of greenhouse gases into our air, the production of heat as a byproduct of manufacturing and transport, and the promulgation of electromagnetic energy in our living space, where are humans to live?  These problems alone are enough to taint Fayetteville and Cumberland Country, but add the presence of the military industrial complex to the stew and dire consequences are created.  Often it is difficult to discern the difference, because they are interrelated.  Private industry provides goods and services to our military including jet fuel.  A railhead is a necessary component of military mobilization.  When all of these gears are turning, ordinary life for civilian citizens is overlooked.  In a more specific sense it is sacrificed for the pure monetary result.  The Fort Bragg economy is the pot of gold for Fayetteville residents.  With the presence of Ground Forces Command, and new strata has been layered onto this disturbing invasion.  Late afternoon chemtrails are becoming a regular sight in the Fayetteville skyline.  These are not commercial jets.  These are nebulous, unidentified, polluting aircraft that fly with impunity directly above the treelines over our neighborhoods.  If we were to wonder whence the Coronavirus comes, would it not be logical to question this white, whispy, enveloping cloud?  Perhaps God has a more specific title for this entity, the Angel of Death.  

Go Joe!

It would seem the more we wade into it, the deeper it gets.  The complicating issue is we do not know who the enemy is.  America has become familiar with this unsettling feeling, because our police force has been murdering African-Americans for decades.  The history is in the Los Angeles Police Department, and if one looks back far enough police corruption is not an uncommon American phenomenon.  The majority of America has been exempt from such disturbing news.  Slowly since the Trump Presidency white supremacy and racial prejudice once again have emerged as a dominant tenant of American life.  It is a plague, and it needs to be quelled.  If you eliminate the leader the rest slowly will disappear sinking back into the muck.  I feel no real fear, but it is not time for America to devolve into a Third World nation.  Only Donald Trump decided to pull this trump card.  He is the instigator.  He is their motivator, and although somehow he was elected to the United States Presidency it does not shield him from prosecution for sedition.  The original authors of the Constitution were well aware of the potential for political corruption in government.  Their precedents are crystal clear.  It is up to Congress to uphold the law, restore justice, and quell this domestic insurgency.  The punishment should be fast and furious.  It should be methodical.  No leeway can be given to Donald Trump for inciting pandemonium at the United States Capital.  We have become a Banana Republic, a whimpering, whining, pathetic dog barking for attention.  America has made the most grievous mistake of her existence, installing a traitor as a President.  The frightening thing is the sheer number of complicit party members content with dismantling democracy and replacing it with an autocratic regime.  These men, these conspirators are guilty of treason, and they are sitting in our state houses unabated and unabashed plotting their next insurrection.  This is what happens when Capitalism fails, when Wall Street strays, and when the people lose control of their Republic.  If Capitalism were working, none of this would be a problem.  Money would be flowing through the social classes, not coagulating with the rich.  Is 2021 the year in which average Americans feel the need to arm themselves against the potential threats of unhinged, deranged, misled malcontents feed by misinformation and propaganda?  The Coronavirus is taking its toll on Americans making them stir crazy, volatile, and angry.  They need a way to express their patriotism, but Donald Trump is not the answer.  The stakes are getting higher by the day for Mr. Biden, and something needs to be done.

The Banana Republics of America

 In the spirited true sense of multitasking, of which men notoriously are supposed to be less capable than women, intersecting plot lines are interesting.  President Barack Obama candidly explained that solving the complex problems of the Presidency was his most enjoyable aspect of the job.  Traditionally this is how the American Presidency has been construed until now.  In 2016 the American Presidency became a television game show, and the United States became a loosely bound conglomeration of tobacco republics.  We are not a tropical nation, but we may be in the near future.  With the onset of Climate Change (or more accurately Global Warming) tropical-like temperatures are migrating up the Mississippi River like New Orleans jazz musicians escaping the Jim Crow segregation of the American South.  It is inevitable, and with this temperature increase follows the perils of such a specific climate.  North America is not adept at mitigating the pathogens of a warmer climate, although we all can agree that warmer temperatures are an asset to certain specific manufacturing processes.  This is not rocket science.  Two specific examples come to mind.  One is the rendering of animal proteins for pet food, and the other is the production of vegetable oil.  In addition the manufacturing of polyester resin for plastic drink bottles benefits from warmer temperatures in the environment in transporting the raw materials to and from the plant.  These are givens in American Capitalism, and yet they simmer unknowingly from the consciousness of most citizens.  Warmer temperatures are not viewed as detrimental to human life, but without adequate monitoring and subsequent regulation the potential exists to fuel a full blown world pandemic.  Hence the Coronavirus.  No mention has been made of a connection between increased temperatures and human pathogens, and yet instinctively we all understand that fungal infections are fueled by heat and moisture.  Also no mention has been made in the mainstream media that many of the deaths attributed to Covid 19 in actuality are the result of mycosis, a disease caused by any fungus that invades the tissues causing superficial, subcutaneous, or systemic disease.  Those suffering from the effects of the Coronovirus should be treated with antifungals to address this underlying issue.  Unfortunately by the time these incredibly ill patients reach the ER, often they are beyond saving.  This is the shock and horror of this current pandemic, and no one much is helping.  Front line workers (as they have been anointed) or rather EMS workers, a compliment of paramedics and their accompanying hospital support systems, no little about what they are treating.  Merely they are trying to maintain the lives of their patients.  In previous generations such ignorance would have been inconceivable in America, the medical irresponsibility of the establishment.  We have seen in the last few decades the deterioration of human morals fueling this irresponsible behavior.  America since the election of George W. Bush has become the "Old West" and anything goes.  It is pure survival, and common Americans are losing on a massive scale.  Those winning are the rich, influential, powerful families behind such massive corporations as DuPont, Koch Industries, and Purdue Pharma.  They care nought about the little guy, which easily is witnessed on the Wall Street Markets.  This open disdain for the sanctity of human life has run rampant culminating in political disdain of federal American leadership.  We are so blinded by the media's spin and rhetoric in their necessary vie for ratings, American life has been sacrificed.  Human life in every conceivable concoction has suffered.  Most importantly the healthy sexual dynamic of gender, a once accepted and well understood foundation of human happiness, has been assaulted by a guerilla band of egocentric male marauders damaging American life.  How is it conceivable that Cliff Huxtable, America's African-American television dad, enjoys drugging young white women and raping them in front of his wife?  How is it conceivable that Harvey Weinstein has been able to use his power as a movie executive to do the same to aspiring young actresses?   This is an abomination, and yet it has proliferated in America.  In reaction the white American male has become Satan.  The recognized architect of much of humankind has been dethroned, and gender as a postulate in personal life has been questioned, soiled, and manipulated.  No one seems to know what they are or what they want.  What is jazz?  How can any civilization survive with such an assault?  How could democracy survive a domestic siege led by the sitting President of the United States?  We sit complacent in our homes under attack from a foreign disease, as the President of the United States mounts a coup of the federal government during an active session of Congress.  Still the media has yet emphatically to state that the stealing, concealing, or destruction of the certificates of authentication from each state for their chosen slate of electors was the goal.  If they had been successful in commandeering this set of documents, it is likely the certification of Joe Biden as President-elect would not have occurred.  Perhaps the saving of these documents was the most heroic action of Trump's presidency.  We do not know who did this.  What we do know is that the American system worked, the infiltrators eventually were subdued, and Congress returned to finished their business certifying the new President.  Rest assured this moment, this action, was the turning point in Donald Trump's perspective and former refusal to concede his office.  He performed a pirouette on a dime and immediately changed his tune professing that the insurrection should wane and a peaceful transfer of power should ensue.  It was too late.  What has failed in America is the system of check and balances provided by the states.  In this national debacle the weaknesses and lack of leadership of state governments is in full view.  We were not aware that America has become a loosely knotted conglomerate of tobacco republics.  Perhaps disguising the racism, prejudice, and discrimination of the American South has been the goal.  Georgia set the shining example for the challenge of this century fully accepting its attack upon voter rights, countering this full frontal assault, and flipping the state for both the President and the Senate.  It is a marvel, a miracle of modern times which will go down in history as one of the most formative progressive political actions in American history.  With it Mitch McConnell and his staid, anachronistic, and blind allegiance to a tainted Republican party has been taken from power.  No longer will the deception of the Republican party be allowed.  There is one thing left to do to tie the knot of this watershed event.  It is the second impeachment of Donald Trump, but this time successfully implemented by a majority of the Senate under the urging of the new majority leader, Chuck Schumer.  If this action necessarily must be delayed for a few months to ensure the effective distribution of the Coronavirus vaccine across America, then okay.  It is a necessary action.  Donald Trump cannot be allowed to step down from the Presidency with blood on his hands.

Trump Sanctions

 There is a lot bouncing around in my brain, and I have not yet put it together into a logical conclusion.  Like life itself our survival has become an extemporaneous whirlwind of irrational assault by those unknown to us.  That may be the most disconcerting realization of modern times.  We do not know who the enemy is.  I have known Donald Trump was the enemy, because all one has to do is pay attention to his actions, have a moral conscience, and be literate.  His demagoguery may fly for those who don't read newspapers, have no college education, and severely are hampered by ADD.  His crowd apparently have been an easy mark.  Finding the weak spot and exploiting it once was called "hitting below the belt."  In recent American history we have not seen such ignorance and willingness to die for nothing.  Who can explain it?  I sensed several years ago the insurrection in America would come from within.  Right wing militia groups have been mobilizing for a long time.  All they needed was a leader crazy enough to get elected President, and for all appearances call on these anarchists to overthrow the oppressive threat of the Democrats.  Only is it and ever has been about power.  There is no right or wrong.  There is no God.  There is no compassion or empathy for fellow man.  It is and has been about power.  Who will control America.  Two things are at play simultaneously.  One is the pandemic which is an all out assault on Americans.  We are battling a deadly disease, and it is winning.  Hundreds of thousands of Americans are dying unnecessarily, and still we do not know whence it came.  Covid 19 was no accident, and its unleashing on American citizens, like the attack on the Capital, was a planned event.  It is continuing.  Someone is behind this disease and its release into our environment.  If the question is asked, "What nation is capable of releasing chemical or biological weapons onto the continental United States?" what would the answer be?  Since commercial air activity has decreased significantly, the use of commercial jets to release such an agent is unlikely.  At the moment there is a surge of Covid 19 in North Carolina.  Simultaneously the Capital is besieged in Washington, DC and thousands continue to die of an unknown disease.  If more is known about the Coronavirus, they are not telling us.  They are not telling us that it is a vascular disease.  They are not telling us that much of the death is resultant of organ infection and failure from fungus or mycosis.  Covid, with its Bradykinin Storm, causes your blood vessels to leak.  If they leak in the brain, the blood brain barrier is compromised.  If they leak in other parts of the body all ready populated with fungi, then the fungi rampantly spread causing death.  Every scholarly study on fungi on the web begins with, "Fungal infections are on the rise, and the traditional drugs are becoming ineffective."  Fungus grows in warm moist environments, so with the onslaught of global warming it stands to reason fungi becomes more of a problem to human health.  I am writing about this disease, because I myself have encountered it and its effects.  It would be easier for American to believe no one was behind the Covid outbreak.  Who possibly would launch such a ruthless assault on innocent Americans?  Four days ago it would have been difficult to believe the sitting American President was responsible for a a siege at the Capital building in Washington resulting in pandemonium and death.  We are in the days of discovery, and with each passing day new information is discovered documenting the aggression and potential violence of this action.  We don't want to believe it, but it must be seen for what it was.  Congress is acting the diplomat, not overreacting, and being cautious understanding this dangerous faction of extremists.  Could they be harmless?  We now know like the KKK, they may just be good old boys dressed in white sheets, but people die in the process.  This is unacceptable.  This issue is discrimination and prejudice.  People are picking and choosing who are protected.  Who is a part of the group.  On the Capital some officials were complicit in the attack.  What can you say when the President himself is the instigator of the violence against his own populace and government.  Perhaps this is the most disturbing idea with which Americans must contend.  This is our first taste of domestic abuse on the people by those in power.  It is common in other countries.  It is a core component of Fascism.  It is a part of communism of which we ignore.  If you were a plantation-owning slave owner in the American South, perhaps the abuse of your work force was a necessary part of life.  It is not now.  Slavery has been abolished, and yet it remains.  Still the Confederacy is fighting the Civil War.  I live in a red state.  I live in a state with the second to lowest teacher salaries (my chosen profession, although I have side-stepped it), the lowest vaccine rollout rate, and one of the most corrupt state legislatures in the union.  Industrial pollution is ignored, and classism is the norm.  The poor don't matter, and the country clubbers feel they are entitled to everything North Carolina has to offer.  It is humiliating living here.  It was positive when ten former Secretaries of Defense suggested that the United States military chain of command should exercise its own conscience if their Commander in Chief enacted unconstitutional action.  They weren't mandated to follow his orders blindly.  Certainly this enough evidence to suggest that the President is incapable of performing his duties, and yet after a lawful and diplomatic Articles of Impeachment, the corrupt Senate allowed him to remain in power.  The attack on Washington on Wednesday is their fault, because they refused to accept the reality of the failure of their chosen leader.  Perhaps anarchy is what they want too.  It would seem anarchy, unrest, or rebellion is desirable as a pastime.  They enjoy the rebel yelling, but they do not understand the ramifications of their actions and their effect on the longevity of the republic.  We are in the days of discovery, and it is becoming more clear.  Do the American people owe this president the perks a traditional president earns while in office?   A pension for life?  A travel allowance?  A security detail for life?  A chance to run for public office again?  We all know the answer is no.   Donald Trump should be denied these perks, because even without criminal prosecution they would be an effective sanctioning of unconstitutional behavior.  We must dump Trump, and he must again be impeached, found guilty by the Senate, and removed from office for good.

How is in Charge Here?

The most obvious topic of this evening would be the attempted coup launched at the United States Capital while Congress was attempting to count the Presidential and Vice-Presidential electoral votes.  Barely had they delved into the accounting when an aggressive protest stormed the Bastille.  Instructed by their cult leader, the current President of the United States, a rowdy band of infidels broke into the Capital building and took over.  Unimaginably security was at a minimum (it was planned this way) and these forceful protestors were able to make their way onto both floors of Congress disrupting the order of business.  This was the plan, and while it has not been pointed out yet the strategic intent was to destroy the authenticated slates of state appointed electors and their results.  If state legislatures in some cases dispute the popular vote, they can appoint their own electors.  If the siege had been successful, these certified documents could have been lost prolonging the agony of certifying Joe Biden's win.  That was the intention.  Luckily one stead fast and quick minded aid saw fit to grab the booty and retreat, while Congressmen and women hunkered into more safe enclaves.  Shortly they will begin again counting the state's electoral votes and eventually certifying Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the new leaders of America.  It is  quite the spectacle, and it was expected.  Rachael Maddow simply asks where is the leadership to control the consequences of such an attack?  Where is the acting AG?  Where is the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security?  Where is the President, when he should be there providing leadership to this process, his job.  Instead they themselves were the purveyors of the coup.  They allowed this siege to unfold with due purpose putting the lives of lawmakers in danger.  President Donald Trump immediately should be impeached and forcibly removed from office, but that cannot happen.  His henchmen are the Republican party, and they are in office.  Over half of the elected officials in the Senate are corrupt criminals, who allowed an impeached President to remain in office.  This is what you get.  The day began well with the state of Georgia flipping the balance of power in this Senate.  Had they not won, the Democrats in Georgia, perhaps the siege would not have taken place.  The term Banana Republic is being thrown around to describe the event.  Over the course of the afternoon procedures fell into place, a curfew was enacted, and a bountiful army of armed law enforcement officers appeared.  It has been haphazard at best, and the reason is simple.  This process, this procedure should be lead by the President of the United States.  Instead he was behind the attempted coup and allowed the event to happen.  There could be no more authentic reason to remove a President from office immediately, and yet the Biden team seems unfazed.  It only is fourteen more days until this clown will be run out of town on a rail.  What happens in the meantime will be on the conscience of?

Feeling Good (and Bad)

I don't want to write about politics, although a watershed event is transpiring in the state of Georgia in the United States.  (Not Georgia, the Slavic nation in southwestern Asia)  Two wealthy opportunists who represent the worst of an anachronistic America are vying for continued control of Georgia.  Senator David Perdue of Perdue poultry and the most wealthy member of the Senate, Kelly Loeffler, who was appointed, not elected by the people.  Both upon hearing the news of the Covid 19 outbreak dumped stock and invested in products that would benefit from such a pandemic.  Scourge.  These are elected leaders whose responsibility is to look out for the best interests of Georgians.  They have failed.  To re-elect either of them would be an investment in deception, dishonesty, and greed.  In a nutshell such a simple scenario, the empowering of the wrong individuals, is what is capable of destroying democracy.  President Donald Trump utilized this strategy completely during his tenure as leader of the free world.  The best nickname for his legacy would be "The Stooge Presidency."  The human race all ready faces enough odds from the get go.  Imagine the Lost Colony setting up camp on the shores of North Carolina and not having a clue how to mitigate Mother Nature.  Plague.  Pestilence.  The elements.  The success rate of humanity has ebbed and flowed with politics being a major determinate of whether there is time left for enlightenment.  The last four years have been pure survival, because Trump, instead of appointing capable administrators, managers, and leaders, appointed figure heads to key positions in Washington.  Effectively he broke every law concerning earning personal wealth from the influence of the Presidency.  George W. Bush did it too but with a smile and a conscience.  Gas prices during his presidency were at all time highs.  Why?  The answer is because his family was an oil family, and they had every intention of profiting from his presidency.  It is ingrained in the human psyche to capitalize on power.  Two disparate concept come to mind here.  One is God and religion are the only things capable of instilling a sense of right and wrong in the human conscience.  The other is Capitalism is brutal.  It does not seek to provide evenly for all involved.  It is a competitive affair, and perhaps ruthless behavior compelled by sheer survival is a necessary tenant of it.  Socialism, although I am not a supporter of it because it is misunderstood in America, at least seeks to provide evenly for all.  By the way Big Brother is at it again.  When I blog on Google I immediately upon mention of politics have an eaves dropper in a low flying jet which has been monitoring me for months.  Once they were small Department of Homeland Security Kingair 350's.  Then and still often it is an FBI Cessna with a muffler and a righteous surveillance array.  An entrepreneur in Ohio designed this pod full of high definition cameras which are mounted on the belly of this plane.  They fly concentric circles in the sky over many cities looking for drug and human trafficking.  Politics aside it is all related.  The simple appointing of the wrong individuals to powerful leadership positions undermines the United States Constitution and its resulting democratic republic.  As I predicted time and time again over the last year, Trump as launched this coup.  As it turns out it has become a war of words, which was the methodology of Big Brother.  There has been a handful of violence, but it is less than the domestic terrorism that has unfolded in continental America.  Schools, churches, government buildings, and movie theaters all have been targets of such attacks.  They have been nothing but diversion, while the real attack has taken place in the offices of corporations and the federal government.  It has been methodical and brutal.  A group of Republicans thought they could launch a coup over American leadership and not be seen.  It was working, and it has worked.  The quality of life of the common American consistently has been diminished.  Only it has been disguised with mobile social media devices.  Addiction is a large percentage of this assault.  Uneducated and addicted charges are more docile and compliant than well educated and rebellious citizens.  The time to invigorate education and the younger generation is now.  I didn't want to write about politics, but as I am listening to my soul it becomes necessary.  It is all connected.  My ability to be able to pursue happiness is contingent upon the security of the American government and its honest and constitutional ideals.  Those have been lost, and we have been in survival mode.  I am ready to move on.  Today as I chose to record some music for my own pleasure, my goal was impeded by Big Brother.  The rampant polluting of our air with extraneous sound and electricity goes overlooked, because it is invisible.  The core determinant of mental health are these things.  Sound and electricity are core components of the human mechanism.  They can provide happiness, and they can provide pain.  When the brain and its accompanying emotions are free to actualize, spared from external harassment, enlightenment is possible.  When our thoughts and emotions, both frequencies of electricity are overridden, we become depressed and sullen.  Why is it that only God can see the great benefit of an invigorated human race?  There is something about the process of oppression that enjoyable.  When small minds can not think of things to do that are productive, they turn to oppression.  It is not easy this agenda of productivity and positivity.  I am struggling with it at the moment thinking of things to do which are helpful and productive.  Our instincts are a large part of our output, but when they are challenged with invisible deterrents, what now?  The mind must kick in, and in the words of Wynton Marsalis we must muster the sheer willpower to overcome, even when we don't feel like it.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

Might I take the opportunity to say, that never again do I want to cook a ten pound ham.  I am a closet fan of the culinary arts but not this year.  This year has been reserved for treason.  Clearly it is evolving right before our eyes, and yet the response is muted laughter.  No one thinks it is possible, a coup launched by the outgoing President of the United States.  (and I picked this week to stop drinking)  Our president all ready has been impeached once, but the republican-controlled Senate let him stay.   He didn't even offer the Secretary of State of Georgia a tangible bribe.  Instead he used the power of the Presidency to try to commit voter fraud.  A Facebook friend suggested that everything Donald Trump does is confession or projection.  Who could think up such far-fetched thing?  It only is because they have thought of them, and probably many of them were implemented during the 2016 election.  It is more plausible that Trump's meddling won him this election.  Certainly he and his Republicans know every nook and cranny of the voting system in America.  They have proven that again in the last month trying desperately to overturn Joe Biden's victory.  Mitch let him stay, and now Trump is a semen-stained blue dress.  What I can't figure is why Republican leaders are telling their constituents to boycott the Senate runoff in Georgia tomorrow.  Is it because Trump lost, and he in all of his scathing narcissism feels Mitch should go down with the ship?  This is what I am beginning to think.  If Trump loses power, Mitch has to go too.  That is fitting.  Several pundits have pointed out that Trump's phone call to Georgia was more damaging than Nixon's involvement in Watergate.  (Muted laughter in the wings)  I liked the ham.  It was delicious.  I baked it in the oven for two hours and painted it with glaze.  The yield was prolific, and being that it became my responsibility to be thrifty.  I dissected the bone from the ham and used it to make soup.  There were many portions.  I took the meat and for the time being stored it in the fridge in a freezer bag.  I needed preparation time to figure out what to do with it.  I cook pork butts, and making pulled pork is a two or three day affair.  Quietly I consented that this ham would be the same, but I couldn't wait to get it out of the fridge.  It was heckling me.  "Freeze me!"  I can't waste that good meat.  Tonight I tackled the job, divvied up the meat, and froze about seven portions.  Because ham is salty, less is more.  There were a lot of bits and pieces left over after the freeze that were good meat.  I decided to boil them to render out their flavor.  I realized I had another run of soup.  I added mirepoix to the mix.  I removed and chopped the ham and returned it to the soup.  More soup?  The freezers are getting full!  After smelling swine for a week like you do when slow-cooking a pork butt, I was tired of cooking ham.  We needed supper, so I cooked brown rice and served the broth and meat over it.  It was delicious.  More styrofoam cups, a ladel, and more soup to freeze.  That was the end of my ham episode, and yet Trump continues.  We are in it still, and perhaps these last days are the most wrought with anxiety.  The dissenting Republicans who choose to contest the swing states will filibuster the confirmation vote with hours of useless debate.  Will it resemble Trump's impeachment proceedings?  Perhaps Jerry Springer should officiate and fighting will erupt with the throwing of a chair?  This is common in Parliment and in other nations, getting physical.  When Trump was at Mar-a-lago over the holidays away from the White House, I felt mature calm for the first time in four years.  There was no mob boss threatening his government workers, issuing subpoenas, or tweeting lies.  God was in charge of our country for a few brief days, and suddenly I remembered what is was like to feel good again.  The shit is hitting the fan in the final days leading up to the Senate's confirmation of Joe Biden as President elect.  No one seems to be worried, but I can feel it.  J-I-V-E.  I didn't think it was possible, but when Donald Trump became President our quality of life at home diminished.  It has remained diminished for the entire four years, because those of interest to him do not care about the American people or our quality of life.   They only care about making money for themselves.  They are the DuPonts and the Sacklers, who like their republican colleagues feel slavery was the right choice for America.  Is is nothing to kill your own people, and it is a normal part of governance in the free world.  Say it loudly and often enough, and they will believe it.  This is Big Brother.  I never have felt so persecuted for nothing, and this is my education about evil.  No good deed goes unpunished.
