Blue-Eyed Sole

 I am listening to the Young Rascals, and this is my first foray into their music.  (Also there is a standing wave in my home, so even the slightest movement or music causes unpleasant sensations on the body)  RADAR is a "standing" electromagnetic wave.  Instead of dissipating normally or fading into the distance, it "stands" in one place.  Standing waves are a common but perplexing phenomenon.  If you are privy to host one in your home, basement, barn, or workshop most people describe it as having a ghost.  You can feel something tangible in the air, and it isn't you.  It is compressed air forced into you living space basically invading your personal privacy.  Anything and everything along the path of this standing wave can modulate it causing it to do strange things.  It is like a stretched rubber band, and slight modulations to the tension of the band cause it to sympathetically vibrate of its own accord.  It is extremely annoying, and it is common in Fayettenam on the weekend.  It either is a CSX, Norfolk/Southern, or Aberdeen and Rockfish freight locomotive, or the Cape Fear Railways shunting cars in the Honeycutt Marshalling Yard or at Fort Junction.  They also have a tunnel underneath Reilly Rd where they load munition trains, so any choice of an idling locomotive could be the culprit.  Of course there is the AN/TPQ-53 army radar which is a logical cause of Havana Syndrome.  They call it "Pulsed Microwave Energy."  It sits on a truck bed in the field or anywhere else they decide to use it, and it spins 360 degrees scanning the battlefield for 35 miles and at a 90 degree width.  If the Marines are playing with this toy targeting their large howitzers, then anyone in Fayettenam is going to know it.  They are not discreet. This is not upon what I wanted to focus or write about today, but it is undeniable.  It is here, now, and in my personal space.  At a certain point one could believe it is "weaponized" or used secondarily as a tool for intimidation for certain targeted individuals.  If they know it has these unpleasant side effects, such as idling locomotives creating a standing wave, then they could use it to antagonize you.  Considering the education level of the United States army enlistees, it could be difficult for them to discern the difference between the real enemy and you.  It happens often newly indoctrinated enlistees full of themselves and their new training pick a fight in a bar and get killed.  Soldiers are involved in all kinds of crime including human and drug trafficking.  Other than the billions of dollars flowing from the Department of Defense, the presence of the military simply is tolerated.  At one time there was a healthy diplomatic relationship with Fort  Bragg.  Since BRAC and the emergence of Ground Forces Command, Fort Bragg has become just another jar head breeding ground of military cockiness.  Self confidence may be a desirable trait in an aggressive soldier, but empathy is more important.  As my left ear screams at me from tinnitus from this phenomenon, my heels also begin to hurt.  I am at a disadvantage, but it is the weekend and I want to rest.  I don't feel like getting up and shaking it off, which I am going to do shortly with my 125 decibel leaf blower.  My topic of blogging today is something equally as annoying, and it is the rhetoric of Miss Lindsey.  Lindsey Graham has become a mockery of a senator, and he has disgraced himself time and time again lying in true Trump fashion.  Considering a violent coup attempt on the United States Capital on January 6th by thousands of Trump supporters, the Jan. 6th committee has been extremely careful investigating the former president.  As his arraignment draws near on Tuesday, the New York Metro Police are preparing to tamp down any possible protest.  Many of the attackers who participated in the siege of the Capital building have been prosecuted and sent to jail.  What lingers is the rhetoric campaign of which the catch phrase has become even as Lester Holt decreed on national television, "This investigation of Donald Trump will tear the nation apart."  This is false, because two years of thoughtful reflection on Mr. Trump's actions have proven his mental instability.  He has pushed the envelope either purposely or subconsciously to achieve his own personal goals of gaining power and money.  Any sane individual would wean themselves off his addiction in their own best interests.  Even the most charismatic and friendly cult leader can ask you to drink the Cool Aid.  It is up to you to choose not to.  I am choosing to cross Lindsey Graham off my list along with Donald Trump.  It would be in the best interest of South Carolina to pick another representative.
