Precision Scheduled Military Imperialism

The first thought to come to mind when I sit down to blog, my laptop on my knees, and my feet slightly elevated is, "Why did I just get a blast of microdust and allergens in my eyes?"  Over the years we have upgraded our home with vinyl siding, double-pane gas-filled windows, and R-38 cellulose insulation in the attics.  It is the most energy efficient it ever has been.  The cost to heat and cool are nominal, and invasive urban noise from traffic and aircraft have been minimized.  No longer do I have to resort to earplugs when I sleep to mask the unwanted noise.  The unfortunate reality is low-flying aircraft are almost as dangerous to human health as heart disease.  This has been common knowledge, but with Donald Trump's emergence as a corrupt past President, the list of corporate and military grievances has lengthened.  Not their grievances, but their illegal behavior toward the United States citizenry.  Regulation was the first target of the GOP and the Insurrectionist Emeritus.  The corporate lobby has been chipping away at federal regulation for years, and the presence and efficacy of the EPA, FAA, FRA, and FCC has waned.  Scott Pruitt, a Texas attorney who made his career by suing the Environmental Protection Agency, was not the right choice to run this agency.  As was the Trump pattern with Louis Dejoy, the stooges he appointed did the opposite of their jobs.  They attempted to dismantle or hobble federal agencies to favor private competing corporations.  The pattern of corporate malfeasance, lobbying, and corruption is substantial, almost all major American companies have joined the campaign to eliminate any governmental oversight of their businesses.  Consequently we have the hottest year on record with no immediate change in sight.  The reason why I get a blast of microdust and allergens blown in my eyes, is because the Fayetteville Municipal Airport, Grannis Field, has no governing rules of flight.  Private, military, and commercial pilots run the airport.  They comprise the board, and because they want unbridled freedom in flying they do not restrict commercial flights in any way.  This not always was the case.  Commercial and private aircraft did not used to fly over downtown Fayetteville and Cross Creek Mall.  Now they do as they please, and the air pollution from plane emissions has risen dramatically.  Not only do I have black microdust all over our house, because they fly so low ignoring any common consideration of citizens living below, this noxious gas easily penetrates your home's HVAC protections and settles squarely in your sinus cavity.  I don't have to be standing outside when I plane flies over.  It blasts me in the face sitting inside, my laptop on my legs, and my feet slightly elevated.  Low flying commercial aircraft only is a small part of the onslaught in Cumberland Country.  There is a brand new railroad in town, and they want you to believe it is God's greatest contribution to the Fayetteville economy.  It is not.  If the Federal Railroad Administration decided to pay attention to the railroads, they would find the gamut of health violations.  Fayetteville is one of the few cities that gets hotter when the sun goes down.  That is because this is when CSX decides to run most of its trains.  With "Precision Scheduled Railroading" the common consensus is trains are longer.  They go slower, and they take longer to go by.  Now with Wabtec's "Locotrol," the crazy Mexican engineer driving a train while bombed on tequila, the infrasound, low frequency alternating current, and myriad of microwave radio signals controlling three spread out and separate prime movers, the traditional freight train now is a nightmare for everyone.  This is the new pattern of corporate behavior.  "Fuck the people.  We will do whatever we want to make more money." It goes further than that.  With the electing of the Insurrectionist Emeritus, attacking the people now is in vogue.  Don't like the results of the democratic election?  Attack the Capital.  Weaponization of the government is a gross misnomer, and it isn't true.  The real weaponization of America has been accomplished through corporate America, and every well known company that has served you for decades has signed on.  It is called ethnic cleansing, and they achieve it in full view through real life commerce.  Until regulatory agencies again begin to do their jobs, most of us will be dead.
