The War in Viet Nam May Be Over, but Fayettenam is Alive and Limping

The strains of, "If you lived near Camp Lejeune, you may be entitled to a settlement," have waned on television.  Unfortunately this phrase is a metaphor for a common remedy in The Swamp.  I don't believe Washington, DC always was evil.  It was not until the career lobbyists took up shop with their professional coercion of elected officials, that American democracy began to crumble.  It didn't help  the Russians bought Donald Trump and secured his freedom from a slew of grievous felonies including theft of confidential material, election rigging, treason, conspiracy, and fraud.  Oh, he got nabbed for that one, falsifying insurance property values for his gain.  He was in deep water, but investors bought him out.  Russian mafia.  Is there a difference between Putin and the mafia?  Probably not.  When you bring this stench to Washington, it has an effect; it is not the effect of people smelling your soiled Depends and knowing that you are incontinent.  Why should we know these things?  Is it because our President is too old to handle the job of president?  If the supporting Deep State of the Marines at Camp Lejeune didn't care about contaminated ground water at the base, then they don't care now.  Fayettenam is the litmus test.  Fayetteville, North Carolina is the modern Camp Lejeune, but its exploitation, wounds, and casualties may be worse than people suffering from disease and dying of cancer.  We are experiencing it in real time, and nobody knows.  If they do know, they are too afraid to resist the military industrial complex.  Rest assured it is industrial, and it is complex, and like Koch Industries, everyone is all in.  The military is the second largest economy in North Carolina.  Let me say that again.  No textiles.  No Big Tobacco.  No hogs and chickens.  No produce.  No tourism of the beautiful Atlantic beaches or the Great Smokey Mountains.  The military has overtaken the Eastern Seaboard.  If you go to the shore, you will hear the military in the sky and in the water.  Did anyone ever stop to ask the constituency of North Carolina, if we wanted this?  Roy Cooper is mum, and the future of aviation has burgeoned from his governorship.  Why is Fayettenam the new Camp Lejeune?  The Deep State was overjoyed when BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) decided to move Ground Forces Command to Fort Bragg.  The decision began in 2005, but in June of 2011 FORSCOM moved to Fort Bragg.  The gentle strains in the community then were not, "You deserve financial compensation for your suffering."  Instead it was, "Those army generals are coming, moving from Atlanta to Cumberland County."  The word on the street was someone wanted to see troops out their window.  Fourteen years have passed and one Trump Presidency beginning in 2016.  We didn't notice much amiss in the Fayetteville community until later.  There was a time when Trump told some truth.  It was true when he said "we" rebuilt the American military.  Two installments of 800 billion dollars.  Military life has not changed much, so what of that money?  Take a look at Youtube.  The number of shiny, spit and polish, seducing websites chronicling the exploits of the modern military technology are rife.  It is like a propaganda campaign.  Like?  Websites that prop up policy.  The internet.  Video.  "Content."  You can't buy any product without the internet somehow being involved or an iPad.  Is it a promotional video?  A copy of the contract?  When you watch these videos, it is another Cold War.  "I'll show you mine, if you show me yours!"  It is complex, industrial, and high technology.  Long gone are the days of lying in a trench computing trajectories with math by hand.  Today they use the AN/MPQ-64 radar.  While there are many contributing players to the game of military gentrification, and some of them are civil or private, this single Raytheon-built device is a major player transforming Fayetteville, North Carolina into Fayettenam.  The 30+ million dollar Apache helicopter firing range is a close second, but only because each aircraft has two gas turbine engines that operate at temperatures of 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit.  Fayettenam must be the only city in America that gets hotter after the sun goes down.  I'll never forget the first time I saw a rail car filled with molten sulfur on a CSX track.  The entire metal car was molten red, not just the sulfur.  There is a rubber vulcanization plant in downtown Fayetteville.  We quietly can rejoice at the closing of DAK Americas, but I have figured out when the Q-64 is watching.  It is like the TET, an autonomous, all seeing, all knowing, electromagnetic maelstrom of targeting information.  How can and does the Army differentiate between their hypothetical enemy and the citizens of Fayetteville that live around the base?  Because housing is so direly needed, people literally live on the edges of the drop zones.  Fayetteville always has been integrated with war games at Fort Bragg, but evolving and available technology subsidized by 1.6 trillion dollars of Trump appropriated dollars has created an elite, mostly covert, almost private sub military having nothing to do with grunts in a trench.  It is reliant upon the electromagnetic spectrum solely for its information.  Fort Bragg, now the home of Ground Forces Command and Special Operations, has been playing high tech War Games since this infusion of revenue.  In contrast to Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld's ruthless approach to annihilating Iraq, wiping out their infrastructure from above and disabling human life, is "Unconventional Warfare" any more humane?  I say not.  It is happening now, and no one knows it, because it cannot be seen.  What is the difference between a biological and chemical weapon?  A chemical weapon has a physical footprint.  It is a liquid or a gas, and it has to be applied.  It is dangerous to handle, and its refuse is difficult of which to dispose.  A biological weapon, something former George W. Bush Vice President Dick Cheney sanctioned Dr. Anthony Fauci to create is much more sinister.  While the visual images of the Black Plague are gruesome and painful, slowly dying from the inside out with no concrete diagnosis of multiple causes is pure evil.  Like the effects of the Q-64 radar on the human body, you can't see the pathogen.  Let's combine the virility of a lab-created virus with radiation.  In any given scenario whether the radiation activates the pathogen, or the pathogen is exacerbated by skin penetrating millimeter waves, the outcome is morbid.  It is difficult to qualify if and how the disparate players in the game of democratic deconstruction are cooperating.  Certainly CSX has been a major player in transporting the goods of the treasonous.  The smell of Vodka wafting down from the skies, as Russian pilots assault the American people in ways not definable is unmistakable.  The trifecta of military, air, and rail on a domestic community has ability to impart change.  In a democracy that change may be for the people.  In the case of Donald Trump, a traitor, that change is akin to any other fascist dictator attempting to oppress, silence, and eventually kill his own people.  With the citizens of Fayetteville dead, Fort Biberty will be free to spread out like the communist enclave it is meant to become.  The sight of Stepford Soldiers earning their daily keep will usurp any semblance of cultural life and art, and the disparate strains of diverse lineage through sound, race, and presence will melt into one great chorus of, "Hile Trump."
