The Weaponization of Sound

 I need to water my Zygocactuses.  I moved them from the den to the dining room, and they are happy.  I even have a few blooms early.  Never have I seen footage like I saw tonight on the evening news.  Donald Trump may get his war.  Will it be the invasion of Venezuela or the second American civil war?  Judging from this footage it all ready has begun.  This is how it begins, small skirmishes of resistance.  I count my blessings, and I am safe, but my sensibilities and quality of life are war.  Why?  Fort Liberty, or is it Fort Bragg?  We now have a war department, so it is obvious Washington likes war.  Dwight Eisenhower warned us about a war economy, but it is inevitable.  I was naive and thought America was good and just.  Watch Oliver Stone's film "JFK."  You will learn otherwise.  Always there have been oligarchs and there are many in the military.  I am not happy that the headquarters of Special Operations was moved to Fort Bragg.  I used to drive across Fort Bragg before 9/11 to play piano in the Pinehurst Hotel dining room.  Sometimes I saw night jumps.  Often I was strafed by a low flying helicopter.  Seth Harp has a new book, "The Fort Bragg Cartel."  We should read it.  What is it like to have the most trained and covert force of the military close by?  Frightening, and we have the Robin Sage exercise four times a year.  Fayetteville and Fort Bragg were better before Ground Forces came in and became the dominant force.  Now it is Gitmo, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.  Alas the torturer is dead.  It is crystal clear Washington has no interest in "We the people."  It has become an oligarchy, and it is disgusting and dysfunctional.  To allow one man to amass a trillion dollars is a disservice to the nation.  Washington has allowed this to happen eliminating the middle class and forcing the rest into abject poverty.  The Supreme Court is complicit, irrelevant, and useless.  Let's allow the President to stop giving food to the hungry.  What are they thinking?  My beef is with the continual surveillance.  Is the Patriot Act still active?  Let's manufacture a crisis so the President can have war powers.  Elon Musk's Star Link is only part of it.  It is useful to provide internet for some including the Ukrainian army, but the rest of the satellites are spy satellites for Washington.  Easily they can be fitted with weapons.  They all ready have one.  It creates the Havana Syndrome, and like the JFK assassination it is covered up.  Who covers it up?  The answer is the intelligence community.  I don't like being surveilled, and there are so many means to do it.  I don't care if they listen to my conversations, but their means are disruptive to human life.  What do I mean?  As a musician sound is important.  At the core of all music is audible sound.  It is our goal.  Music is to be heard.  When things impede sound, it is unconstitutional.  The Constitution does apply.  We have weaponized sound.
