Burning Planet Earth

 On cue the meteorologists report record breaking high temperatures for Christmas.  Always it has been unusually hot on Christmas, but this had not been happening forever.  Interestingly when they report this unusually hot and humid weather, there is no insight into its cause.  They mumble something about the Caribbean keeping the normal jet stream upended.  The map shows this recurring and menacing red trough of hot air, kind of like Trump.  (a menacing red coif of hot air)  If the shoe fits.  If anyone seriously would think about what causes unseasonable hot weather on Christmas, answers could be found.  We in America have become bought and paid for including the meteorologists.  As such they really should not be branded meteorologists at all.  They are amateur jocks and beauty queens trying to report news.  Most have had no journalistic training, and most never have taken a speech class.  Speech and language in America also has been manipulated like pop music.  What once was good now is bad.  Under the ruse of American pop culture, which once was fueled by honesty and a desired to state the truth, platforms have been commandeered and are used for deceit.  Trump started this trend.  Eagerly and for monetary gain or just plain survival, the country signed up for the "lie for money" plan.  Lester Holt now lies to the American people, and I guess we cannot blame him personally.  He is the same "Stepford Wife" as the rest of them.  He says what they tell him to.  He is no Dan Rather, Charles Kuralt, Ted Koppel, or any other serious journalist.  He is the man in blackface doing the man's bidding.  I'm sorry Lester.  We are breaking up with you and the rest of the repeating loop masquerading as national news.  Never have we been in a worse place in America.  It just took a while for the "fake news" to make it mainstream.  I drove around today, because Fayettenam often is the source of national disturbance.  If it is not Fort Bragg causing the environmental disturbances, it is something else.  We live in a Uwharrie, Horry, whorie state, whose mission is to sell.  Roy Cooper sells the state like a traveling merchant while sprinkling money on the incumbent population.  There are bitcoin mines in our  Appalachian Mountains.  CSX has set up shop in Rocky Mount and Hamlet.  All the while the bait and switch of finding affordable housing becomes more insulting when the environment doesn't keep up with or support these new residents.  It is the same old tired game.  Sprinkle sugar on shit, sell it big, make the profit, and toss them into the swamp.  North Carolina is nothing she once was.  She is a big, fat, smelly whore, and all you have to do is breath in.  Today I found Cargill's expanded industrial complex, a soy bean processing plant which is suffering from a massive cash infusion.  Hence and to my surprise, the lot next door was purchased and developed, and now there are scores of tractor trailer rigs lined up waiting for the goods.  There are lines of eighteen-wheelers, many with refrigeration units, sitting idling waiting to fill up with high octane vegetable oil.  There have been lines of trucks before now, but they were the ones bringing in the raw materials.  These new lines of trucks now are hauling out the increased product from the Cargill plant across the Cape Fear River.  I stuck my head out of the window, and it didn't seem obnoxious, the noise or heat.  Please know drying husks is what they do at this plant.  They have massive heaters and blowers that dry the soy bean husks once they are treated with a strong chemical to remove their oil.  It is a twofold operation.  This is new.  Only recently in the Fayetteville Observer did they write about the plant's recent expansion.  Cargill decided to invest in this particular plant for several reasons.  One is it sits on the CSX mainline which brings in the chemicals in tank cars.  The other is it is close the the Cape Fear River, the toxic waste dump of most local industries including Chemours.  They have been doing this for decades under the DuPont name.  When the heat got turned up, DuPont sold out to the Chinese the same way DAK got sold to a Mexican conglomerate.  Revenge must seem sweet to them.  We destroyed the South American economy with NAFTA, and many families lost everything.  I guess it is fair to blow PFAS into our local air and water.  Both plants like heat.  If I remember correctly heat aids their production either in transportation of materials or the processing itself.  It is no coincidence it is hot for Christmas.  They celebrate the birth of the Savior of the world by burning up His planet.
