I've Still Got My Head Buried in the Sands of My Imagination
Considering if I were a Black man.  Especially a young Black man.  If you're a Black man (or woman) and you come up on a White, KKK-inspired, gaggle of cops, especially those in military garb, what the hell do you do?  You can't turn and run.  To cops that's a sure sign of guilt.  It also gives them the right to blow your running "guilty" ass away for good.  "Good riddance," the commander on the shift says to his boys as they stand around with all their AKAs smoking.  "Who got the most hits on the nigger?"  "I think Greg did; hit that big buck in the head with two shots."  "Was the buck packin' heat...or drugs?"  "No.  He was clean."  "Then why did we kill him?"  "Cause, he was runnin', man, and we know a Black man runner is always running 'cause he's guilty.

Why do most  White people hate Blacks (they also hate Mexicans, Arabs, Jews, Poor White Trash, and Atheists)?  Because...and watch out, you may not like this...Black genes are dominant.  Black man + White woman = Black baby.  Or vice-versa: White man + Black woman = Black baby [Yes, I know about sunshine kids].  That's why southern racist Whites lynched Black men they accused of flirting, whistling at, or hitting on a White woman.  Emmett Till, a Chicago teenager visiting his relatives in Mississippi, was murdered because he supposedly made a sexual remark about a White woman, the purest of women known, don't you know.

Onward Christian Soldiers
Here come the Christian soldiers back into Iraq...and some special forces have been active in Syria, too, and Commander Obama can't wait to reenter the Iraq bullshit/fuck up, to bomb our CIA-created ISIS out of existence (a futile waste of very expensive bombs).  It's like a modern-day Crusades, with the Christian zealots out to shove the Muslims into Hell and take over their land and oil in the name of OUR AMERICAN GOD (also known as the Israeli God).


Has anyone discovered yet that the CIA is fomenting all this bullshit in Syria, in Iraq, in Yemen, in Libya?  That the CIA not only gave us Bin Laudin, but they also have given us this ISIS bunch that's raising cane and hell in Iraq and Lower Syria these days (there are photographs of Smilin' Joe Biden meeting with this bunch looking happy as a possum eating shit).  The dude who beheaded Foley spoke with a British accent.  What the fuck does that mean; why wouldn't an Arab who learned British English speak with a British accent?

The British are directly responsible for all this bullshit in the Middle East.  It all started way back in WWI.  The current Middle East crisis was started by the CIA during the early fifties after the duly elected president of Iran, Mohammed Mosaddegh, nationalized all the British oil companies (including the evil BP) and according to a Bill Moyers report in 1987 on our "Secret Government" this nationalization totally pissed off John Foster Dulles (Sec'y of State under good ole Dwight D. Eisenhower (who played golf more than he was president)) and John's evil brother Allan who was head of the CIA.  These two New England Ivy League assholes convinced Eisenhower to give the CIA permission to go in and overthrow Mosaddegh's duly elected government and install instead our old asshole buddy, the pompous egotistical schmuck, the Shah of Iran, who later the people of Iran began to hate so much, they finally drove his cancer-wracked ass out (he came to the USA supposedly for treatment of his cancer; in fact, We the People of the USA paid for this crook's hospitalization and operations) and that's when the Ayatollah Khomeini took over and why our embassy was attacked and its staff was held hostage.  That lying dog and totally stupid, inept, Grade B actor, Ronald "We'll Soon Be Flying to Tokyo in 3 Hours" Reagan, gave the Iranians weapons in return for them releasing our Embassy hostages, which they did, a move that paved the way for that idiot Reagan to get elected president (what fools are We the People who vote in this country).  Don't forget, too, that Iran and Iraq were at bloody war for almost a decade.  War is so wasteful and so humanly devastating.  But, hey, our American war philosophy is that war eventually brings on peace and power and rule.

We love WAR.  We love killing.  Watch all these stupid copy-cat cop teevee shows.  On most of them humans are killed in several excessive ways, either by machine-gunning away 10 bad guys at a time or on one NCIS, their whole headquarters were blown to bits by a gang of Arab-looking criminal entities.

We Now Live Under Military Rule
One of the marvelous areas of stupidity among my fellow "Amuricans" (speaking Lyndon-Johnsonian) is the fact that I still hear them babbling about us being a democracy and not a Fascist state based on a war economy.  Pundits dance all around the truth of this chaotic mess a bunch of Ivy League propagandized (mostly lawyers; G.W. being the first non-lawyer president since D. D. Eisenhower), backward-thinking presidents and their gathering-up-of-nest-eggs Congresses have gotten us into.

And now, hot damn, we've got a chance at finally maybe starting World War III.  And a further hot damn is in order when you think about this maybe being that nuclear war our warmongering military leaders and our warmongering Nobel Peace Prize-winning president and our asskissing Congress have been hoping and praying for.  Hot damn, we finally may be able to annihilate the human race.  And the Earth shivers with delight as it thinks of finally getting rid of this monkey who thinks he's created from above, blah, blah, blah, bullshit, blah.

I loved listening to our UN warmonger ambassador, Samantha Power (and power is her game, too), condemning Russia for "invading" the Ukraine (a former Soviet state; Nazi sympathizers in WWII) saying the Russkies are defying the sanctity of international law by threatening the illegal Ukraine government with military intervention (I'm breaking up here; laughing my ass off at this American hypocrite's reasoning).  In the meantime, look what our enforcing (via the CIA and its agents provocateurs) of our kind of democracy on Korea, Vietnam (except, of course, the North Vietnamese kicked our asses and saved their country from being divided in half), Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya (where they are now involved in a civil war), etc., did to those countries.  It has left these countries in devastation, destruction, with millions of dead, divided, now either with civil wars or with potential civil wars.

We truly do love war and killing.  And it was all spelled out in the Neo-Con Manifesto, the ultimate goal of which has always been to drive our economy down to where We the People of this Mess of Divided States of America are forced into cheap labor situations (slavery being the cheapest) and a downgrading of our social order to that of a Third World country.

Hot damn, bring 'em on.

Existing in New York City: WAR, WAR, OH GLORIOUS WAR!!!

Truckin' Away From the Front Lines
So I've decided to bury my head in the sands of my own imagination.  To divorce reality.  Impossible, you say, and I probably agree with you, but certainly today, being outside reality makes more sense than trying to plow through the Fascistic hurdles of what reality in the Good Ol' USA has become.

One hurdle: I recently had a chance to fly with a bevy of my Michigander friends to their hometown to enjoy their participation in a jazz festival big band.  OK, until I read where you weren't able to board an airliner to any destination without the equivalent of two government photo IDs or one government plus a corporate-issued photo ID.  Whoaaaa....  I was stopped in my tracks.  I haven't had two photo IDs in at least 10 years since I dropped out of the advertising rat race and decided to sail my ship alone (without a car so without a driver's license).  "Sorry," I was told, by United Airlines, "we can't let you on our planes unless you can prove who you are, which is via two photo IDs, one issued by a government or you have a credit card with your photo on it."  I asked them how a photo proves who I am and they, like my mother excused segregation when I was a kid in Texas by saying it was a shame but it was the law, said they were sorry but that was the law.  And whose law was it?  Turns out it started with Slick Willie Clinton's original Patriot Act after the Oklahoma City bombing.  Yes, folks, Slick Willie Clinton gave us the original Patriot Act not Georgie Porgie Puddin' Pie Bush.  Bush gave us Homeland Security and their version of the Patriot Act.  Slick Willie also did away with habeas corpus.  But don't get me started on the Clintons or the Bushes...because that will cause me to lift my head out of the sands of my own imagination and begin seeing the truth behind the many political illusionists and their so many illusions.

OK, sez I to our benevolent government, I once had a passport so I'll just renew it.  Not so easy, a postal clerk who processes passport requests told me.  She said I would still have to provide two current photo IDs to renew a passport since the last time I had a passport was in the 1960s when I was but a long-haired kid totally different-looking from who I am now.

Ah, to hell with it, was my final positioning on the matter.  I don't like to fly anyway.  Planes are some of the biggest germ breeders on earth.  Just think, that airliner from Liberia to Nigeria had a man with the ebola virus on it exposing hundreds of people to the virus (it's contracted from an affected person's body fluids).  It's all a matter of speed anyway.  I could have traveled to Michigan by Megabus but it would have taken me a long grueling ton of hours to get there; same with Amtrak in terms of taking at least two days or longer to get there.

Israel Ethnically Cleansing Palestine
This is purely a religious war.  The Jews being the Chosen People say that their God, Jehovah (Yaweh (same as Allah)), made a covenant with the poppy of the Jews, Abraham (he's ironically the poppy of the Arabs, too, don't you know), a covenant that gave Abe and his lineage all the land that now encompasses Palestine, the old Chaldean and Philistine lands (some say the Jews were first Chaldeans).  The Holy Land.  Besides, what a great way to let what happened to the Jews under Hitler be revenged by taking it out on the helpless Palestinian Arabs, dogs not humans to most gung-ho Israelis, and certainly in Gaza they are trapped like dogs.  Religion is behind most of the world's conflicts.  Can I prove such a statement.  Sure, it's easy.  Give it go, you'll see. 

Doing the Obama Shuffle
How 'bout President Obama doing his Uncle Tom shuffle by glibly joking that, "Yes, we tortured some folks," said with a "yassuh boss" twinkling in his eyes.  We once figured Little Georgie Porgie Bush was going to end up our worst president ever.  That's when we all put our "liberal" hopes in Obama's black-preacher-chant, "Yes, we can!"  Turned out Obama's "Yes, we can" simply meant "Yes, we can continue the same ol' shit, folks."

And, now, Commander-in-Chief Obama has decided to reinvade Iraq...well, he's sending in our invincible Air Force to, under the guise of flying in humanitarian aid, bomb Iraq back to the Stone Age.  Well, here we go again, folks.  And though 75% of We the People are against war, by God, Commander-in-Chief Obama sez, we're gonna have war whether you people or Congress want it or not.  I'm pulling executive privilege on your White man asses.

Pundits are philosophically analyzing Obama's latest reentry into another mess we made: the ruining of Iraq; the turning of Iraq into a embroiled and perpetual war zone.  We need Iraq, don't you see.  We need it, yes, for its oil, but we also need it as we try to control the Middle East.  Iraq sits dead in the middle of Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, Russia, the Baltic...in fact, the whole Middle East, from India over to the Mediterranean.  All of this mentioned in the original Neo-Con Manifesto whose main author is Paul Wolfowitz who is still out there somewhere promoting the Neo-Con's New World Order that old Pappy Bush warned us was being created in his "1000 Points of Light" speech.

Paul Wolfowitz Is a Psychopath/Sociopath Fool: Want Proof? Read the Following:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We live, folks, in a War Economy.  Without war and arms dealing and stealing oil without which our war machine (the world's largest) would run dry and become totally stalled, this country would go bankrupt.  We'd be taken over by Chinese Communist Capitalists.  We have always consistently backed repressive governments, dictators, terrorists...come on, we created Al-Queda to fight with the  Mujaheddin against the Soviet forces in Afghanistan; our CIA infiltrators and agent provocateurs started the civil war in Syria; in a great revenge for Ronald Reagan, We the People, through NATO, which we control and without whose finances it would fold, attacked Libya, bombed the bejesus out of it, then when our CIA thugs found Khadaffi rather than keeping him alive and questioning him or giving him a fair trail, they instead tore his body to shreds with multiple bullets (assassination a dear stream of evil that runs through the American psyche)(remember we did the same with Osama bin Laudin and remember we hanged Saddam Hussein, a botched hanging that took several efforts to finally break his stubborn neck).

So brace yourself for more and more wars as We the World's Extraordinary Human Monkeys, the dumbest people on earth, will soon reelect a lot of Republican goons (there's a great possibility in this still-Civil-War-divided country (divided over slavery still (don't forget, the Republican agenda is all about cheap labor)) that the Republicans can take over the Senate in the coming elections).  And worst of all, We the Dumbest People in the World will elect yet another do-no-wrong sociopath as our president, whether it be Hillbilly "War Lover" Clinton or the Reverend Rick Perry (yes, he's running for president) or whatever fool the Republicans run this time.  And we will still have our Catholic-controlled Supreme(ly dumb) Court trashing our Bill of Rights out of existence and totally ignoring what few Constitutional rights we have left (name them?).  Due to this War Economy, we have lost our right to privacy.  We have a billion-plus-bucks-a-year security industry now out there working hand-in-hand with our CIA, FBI, Homeland Security, NIS, local cops tracking our every move whether in reality or on the Internet, listening to our every call, reviewing everything we write on the Internet, capturing all the photos we put up on the Internet...in fact, now our newer computers allow the government a backdoor access to all our files, hardware, software, etc.

Fuck it all, I say, as I bury my head in the sands of my imagination.
