The recent rampage of Terrorist acts, and shooting rampages in the middle of a relaxed summer is disturbing, as it targets people at their most vulnerable, when they are trying to relax and get away.
Under the facade, however, is a pat on the back, to all the power mongers who took the helm on the war, on terror distracted the public, poisoned their minds with propaganda, and then did very little in the realm of actual policing. Now, it is being touted by the media, as very easy to accomplish, these acts on terror. Further divisions are beign drawn between gun rights advocates and gun control advocates, African American's and police.
The proponents of fear are rejoicing in victory this summer. The political realm looks unstable as ever, and with new attacks all over the globe people are forgetting that it was the two very similar administrational policies of incompetence coupled with heavy surveillance in all corners of our lives, that first put the country into a stooped slumber, and second with willing poverty in focus and resources, leaves room for the threat of fear to seep in. This way, it will be more of a reality to pick and choose who we can go to war with. The dirty scoundrel who shot up munich, was Iranian, and that is a gold strike in the eyes of the warmongers in this country.
As of now, though not outright mentioned, the media and the Obama administration are spinning the fact that these attacks are not happening on our own soil. They downplayed the Orlando attack and chalked it up to "possibly" something else. Yet it was healthy and vigorous in the base, annals of power in this country who feeds off these attack as weapons of paranoia.
Thankfully we bankrupted our national treasury and cannot afford to go to war with Iran. That, however does not rule out drone strikes and the fact that France has now joined the rank and filer of being in full cooperations on the War on Terror with Germany not far behind. They might do things differently, then again they might now.
But enough about European problems, the problems here are too important to ignore. This summer, brings a heavy population out of work, and cannot afford to travel to these places where all the evil terrorists are attacking. Here we are faced with two candidates, one who manipulated the frustrations of a paranoid, and angry populace, and another who shamelessly went through the motions of a now glaringly apparent rigged system and succeeded in the face of accusations that would have buried any candidate even a few months prior.
It is a scary political arena that is outwardly facing the American public and lying, cheating, twisting, and when it does not work, outwardly speaking for what is right, from wealth and might making right. That rhymes.
But my new interest in poetry has nothing to do with the fact that few children in schools have exposure to poetry. Textbooks are robbed of their meaning as teacher follow a standards that has been set from Washington. It seems like a becoming, after what was years of monotonous schooling, and dedication to being in a dumbed down uninspiring classrooms with prison lighting, they are pulling down the hatchet before, the newer generations get a crack at it. The inner cities are war zones, and the dwindling middle class suburbs are a provincial mess, with pervasive corruption and decay seeping within.
Yet on a positive note, Bernie Sanders, socialist and all, made a concerted effort and convinced droves of people to proposition real change. Unfortunately enough people became frazzled and frightened at the proposition of looking at a sizable tax increased, or worse yet, a status quo, putting their money on Hillary Clinton instead.
Regardless, it seems that the Bush and Obama's administration is coming to a close. Clinton and Trump are at least dedicated to reversing the debacle that came from their devious efforts. I fear however, that the tentacles will reach for many years to come, pushing, clawing, and gnawing on the darkness that cloaked the country somewhere at the time of the financial collapse. We have been going along with our daily routines unaware of the darkness. You can get a glimpse of it at the Los Angeles Harbor, with shipping containers stacked sky high, as a symbol of the greasy concessions we gave to China.
The returns of Terrorism have been very lucrative. It is no wonder that the questions still remains on the actual causes of 9/11. So much has been taken, and so much seems unsolved all in the name of finding the piggies who are out to hurt us. Being in a war against Terrorism is like being at war with the devil, if you do not follow the "holy" laws then you are in danger of falling to their evil ways. "You are with us or you are with the Terrorists." Meanwhile, the contributions to the church of anti-terrorism keep giving, making more of everything, to the drivers of the "anti"-terrorism bus.
