The American (and Global) Establishment

 After an intensely dark and slanderous Presidential campaign, the election results arrived in nauseating and insipid fashion.  Despite the predictions of contesting the results (if Kamala Harris won) and ensuing violence, an immediate and seeming miraculous Trump victory immediately tempered a previously vitriolic and hateful campaign.  The snow job by American media was meant to quell dissatisfaction or reaction to Trump's win.  "There there little child.  Take your medicine.  It was meant to be."  It must be the paradox of all paradoxes.  (and as I write this a menacing and intended to be intimidating Apache attack helicopter flies directly over my house)  It is a concrete metaphor for the Trump campaign.  Intimidation but mostly hot air.  A U.S. Army attack helicopter cannot fire on civilians, but it can practice its craft of warfare on American civilians.  We know nothing of the force that commands these war birds, and with a starkly divided nation the American people cannot be assured the United States military has not pledged their allegiance to the traitor emeritus.  If the federal government has become weaponized, in true Trump fashion his organization would be the first to use it but blaming it on the other side.  This has been their strategy all along.  The sickeningly pallid media declaration that Trump has become a living American martyr fighting his way back to the White House is at odds with reality.  It is a smothering blanket meant to quell resistance to the electing of an aspiring dictator.  There are a handful of postulates resulting from this uncanny turn of events.  When Trump lost he incited a riot that stormed the Capital and attempted to thwart the confirmation of the vote.  People died.  As Trump won (if that is the case) Johnny is urged to be quiet and take his medicine.  Because Electoral votes were manipulated in both previous elections, we are to assume the bribing of state governments didn't happen again?  Shut up and take the money.  What are the postulates?  It takes a specific point of view to understand.  The "Establishment" will not allow a black woman President.  That is too real.  With the history of suffrage and other women's rights, a strong woman President could effect change in America.  Jim Crow Jr. could not allow that.  White America, ignoring our true diverse history, won't allow a black woman President.  Social media and the internet have destroyed a once economically viable print media.  It has destroyed constructive, thoughtful, tangible, print media upon which the world has relied for centuries.  In the swipe of an iPhone screen, newspapers, periodicals, and other printed news have vanished into the digital domain (including movies) allowing third party assailants to hijack, manipulate, and redistribute information.  It is called "Big Brother," and the author George Orwell predicted this decades ago.  It was called "1984."  We are overdue, but it is here.  Without printed material, internet media has become desperate for fodder.  They need stories, and Donald Trump winning the White House for a second time is too good to pass up.  The sheer breadth of his evil musings have created novels of plots to be exploited in the next four years.  Kamala Harris in the White House would have been to real for America's  now television existence.  America always has been shaped by the entertainment industry, but for film and television largely it was a product of the misplaced Jewish community escaping the Holocaust.  They recreated their dreams in Hollywood through film and television.  Their vision helped shape the American dream, and it was positive.  A bigoted, White Supremacist, mostly Southern and Confederate faction has decided they have no interest in the historically accurate origins of America.  This includes Critical Race Theory.  My own personal study of American Roots music, Jazz, Gospel, and other racially diverse musical forms and habits staunchly were being discouraged during this presidential election.  It was a covert war on African-American influence in America, and now it will continue.  Do we remember Black Lives Matter?  Effectively it was quelled by a murdering pandemic that took the place of more specific single killings carried out by a corrupt police force.  The Establishment can not have a black woman President, nor do they want any recollection of American Roots Music.  Jazz, Gospel, and other art forms driven by human suffering at the hands of racially discriminatory white supremacists no longer are welcome.  Instead they created a political skirmish driven by stolen confidential documents sold to Iran and Hamas, attacking Israel.  Their immediate and decisive military response will effect the same change as a cataclysmic hurricane or flood rendering valuable real estate available devoid of its original indigenous inhabitants.  It is Wounded Knee on a grand scale, nothing more than genocide.  America now has suffered the same grievous atrocities of other third world nations.  It is incumbent upon the American people to insure that a Trump dictatorship does not ensue.  What would have happened if Kamala Harris won?  Would the Extreme Right have revolted again inciting violence and political unrest?  Perhaps it is best that Trump won circumventing a second American civil war.  The story line is too rich and economically viable to bypass.  It's drama!  The health and longevity of America on the other hand is not assured.  We are well on our way to becoming a Third World nation with the chasm between the elite rich and poor growing at the same rate as Global Warming.  Before the poor die of starvation or lack of food, probably we will perish in the remnants of a ruined planet Earth suffocating from lack of viable oxygen and growing fungus from the heat and humidity of Climate Change.  America always has been shaped by the entertainment industry, but the shift to the digital domain, promulgated by foreign interests, has undermined patriotic solidarity.  We have no main stream.  We do not know who we are, and there is nothing in the future without the vision of the creative minds of American artists and laymen.  The commercial music industry should remain a shining example of America's successes.  Jazz is crucial.  Sitting on a plantation porch, sipping lemonade, and collecting a fortune in rice assets earned on the backs of laboring enslaved Africans isn't the answer.  Only diversity, honesty, and forward thinking can save America.
