The Herd of the Readers!

They have been making us inquisitive readers follow a path that leads us in circles, and helps them sleep at night. The first thing they do is get us in the School Yard. They bombard us with Children's stories that are hand crafted with some Journalistic Integrity, but really just a focus with a Pinnacle on a nice Saturday Summer Afternoon in a Manhattan Penthouse, with a doorman waiting to lead you to a limousine to see the latest Broadway show. Sure it's fabulous but it's unreachable, all the other stories are meant to turn a child into a future sucker, always tailoring their speech and writing to that context of an unrealistic goal. Then it really starts to get dirty, the "Tween" years. Where they specifically target the viscous fifth and sixth grade girls with pretty unicorns which they will murder for. All the reading is tailored to this viciousness with a taste of blood. The teachers both male and female join in on it, and chart a course for an unreal future. When the reality of life sets in, and that is where they start bombarding the economics of life ritual to all the boys and girls who will have to get a job at minimum wage upon graduating high school. It is all about getting an apartment, and pay for expenses and giving that last drop of money for some worthless item of consuming. The important thing is to get everybody reading this, and make it the centerpoint. Even those with high aspiration are subjected to this tawdry sold conversation whose end goals is to understand that economics is not about a Social Science, no, it is about understanding your place under the yoke of the true power in this country.

Once the tawdry high school crap is over, there still exist a target group of community colleges and college students who actually have taken up reading print journalism. Every college has a lame, silly little school newspaper, that writes boring stories of  little to no interest to anyone, other than the school administration and staff for their shameless promotion. Unless you work for these people full time, they make you feel as if your are missing the boat and are falling behind in honing your writing talents. Then comes the communication majors, a group of people who prey about others using the power of conversation to make you feel a bit less confident in you speaking the English Language. God forbid English not being your mother tongue, then they will really lay in on you, if you let on to them. It is all about making it look like a closed, shop, for the "talent" to work with the ownership at lower costs of less controversial stories. Now mind you nowadays, every Ivy League Math and Science whiz graduate goes into the field of Finance, instead of Science and Research. Why? Big Money pays handsomely to suck the talent into the field and help them build a replica of a good economy so they can tout it in the newspapers who have corralled a fair amount of journalistic talents into the Business Writing sector, we'll get back to that later.  First we have to discuss the college graduate. Then they can retire with a few million in the bank.

Their goal is to get as many people as possible to not read. But those that do, smaller in number can be re-routed from the read real issues.  Like silly little success stories about people who work 80 hour work weeks but always get a hot date on weekends.  Journalist have a revolving door between public relations and legitimate media outlets, and it is a survival mode, not a choice.. Hollywood lures in journalist in droves as do advertising firm. People are always focused on "the money" because that's where the truth is. But you can't find the truth unless you get some for yourself, and their just isn't enough to go around.

At an unsuspecting time, the crap really starts to spew, because they want you to consume and buy those things that were sold to the Chinese for your spending pleasure. It is about the top ten places to eat, recopies, organic food, new gadgets,  packaged clothing sets with a shave kit, you name it. The reading gets shorter into little paragraph that describe the latest consumer phase. At the same time the financial reading is alive an well with the latest mutual fund, investment opportunity which the failed banks are trying to revitalize with false promises, so long as they make a small profit, while leading people who make $15 dollars an hour to still think that they are gonna lets them retire with four million dollars. No, no you wont get more than a few hundred thousand adjusted for the inflation that you caused by consuming all those products; and that's if  you're lucky. If you lose your job, then forget it. That's ok though because soon enough then you'll find a $12 an hour jobs for the rest of your life and be one of the few who will qualify for social security when you retire, like a battered Veteran. High Honor, Right?

That is the cycle of life my friends, the food chain at it's finest. It is someone  who thinks they has a birthright to a chickens because they either killed the real chickens  or were probably maimed heavily so they can no longer lay eggs. They are Deluded bringers of False Chickens who sing the blues and consume the better items than the rest of us.

The First Warning Sign!!

Mr. Trumps unwillingness to acknowledge conflict of interest just popped up with the news and they are packaging it with all his other promises being faltered. The others are a sigh of relief by most educated voters, but the conflict of interest is of serious concern. What Trump is probably thinking at this very moment is what would George Washington do?  People are thinking, is his house in order or not? Trump of course is having to deal with the reality of giving up his business to his Children who though he claimed on his TV show to have complete and total faith in, may not.  But he is paving the way for others like him and needs to make a lasting impression.

Power Corrupts? And if you do not understand that you can go.... Well then again, maybe that's the problem that Mr. Trump is fighting against, that rigidness within a context of rigidness, and the expectation if a status quo.  Life is tough, it aint fair, deal with it!! Is what they say! Then again if those standards can be doubled at the upper edges and it can mean looking the other way. The people spoke for Trump, but they also looked the other way, he may be thinking he can push the envelope.

One thing is that through the process of the so called big government as America the old  was replaced by Bosses in the Cities, Railroads and Trusts the counter-juxtaposition with that was those who would never waiver and the small town decency that was the true cornerstone of our nations path. The element of being a straight shooter in contrast to these things was always front and center. When when it was our turn on the worlds stage that was even more emphasized and held dearest.

So now with all that has been touted as cancerous and destructive, Trump will not simply just get away with a means of self-promotion, and utilizing his image while he meets executives from the Indian Subcontinent as if nothing is wrong.

He needs to come up with a plan and a plan quick to release the business to his Children. Or are we not in the right by asking to this? Maybe the rest of us cannott understand the position of rich , right? Guess again,  high profiles, have stampeded themselves into the spotlight and have to honor up to the question. We can't except to dumb down the population until they tolerate anything.

Flipping and flopping is not the end of the world, especially since it is every budding Politicians dream to go about thorough nonsense, get elected and actually do good. What Trump told us he was doing in essence , was trusting the people.  Yet when the real problem surfaces, their's got to be a standard. Not only because the president has a bigger responsibility greater than himself but because it is the one thing that can be used as a reference to both trust and credibility. The government of George Washington, who really did not think much of his office, played a small role. If Trump want to make the government smaller and more efficient, more power to him. If he want to use the government to grow the economy and tangle with China, he should have nothing holding him back. If he want to keep his business and rule the Roost of Capital Hill, then their is something called a conflict of interest.

It has been ignored in Wall Street in recent years, in corporate America, and in what he claimed to be his re-surfacing in the last decade. It's time to think about what it means to hitch on to friends in government and change that government back to what it once was. That's right Trump, you are now an insider, and we are not letting you take that away from us.  Your mission is to take us back to that time before the hijackers took our government hostage and laid claim to it for our own good. This part is not as rigid. First, change the System back into a Wild Animal, rather than a cocksucking Bonfire. Second bring the yearning faces of politicians to a place so they no longer feel like whores, but rather upstanding  Fabricators.  Make it tough instead of impossible for a cop to be straight in this country. Fix the justice system so that Judges are not bought and paid for, but without closing the door entirely. Make it so the government no longer records our conversations and blatantly abuses our rights, but don't cut the cords off of the CIA and FBI.  Save people from certain doom, but do not act as a safety net for their future mistakes.


These are the realistic goals put in place for Mr. Trump. Getting us back on track. If he does that then he can go on and fulfill his promise to make things greater than they ever were, by which of course he hopefully means less chaotic His idealism is a great asset for him, but at the same time he is bogged down by propaganda and conflict of interest. It is a thinking mans challenge for him, and he needs to start to getting down to thinking along with his actions. If he falls short then, it's a good idea to get things back on track first and foremost. Then he can worry about being a loved politician without having to go to jail for it and I am talking about sacrifice not vice.

Just Words

The term "Never Trump" has been thrown around in out of context and within the political realm has taken a different meaning. Do not get me wrong, I like the man, though at this juncture I will never vote for him, because the royalty of social media told me so. That being said, 7 months ago when this was still being thrown around, my view was a little different. I said, wait, wait and see what he is really about, more importantly wait and see what he will do to criminals who want at the presidency once again. Is he trying to get over the political hurdle? Or is he just a zany celebrity trying to score big on his fame, and ink himself in the history books. Well now we know that he is not for real, but he stopped, dead in their tracks the people who were trying to get a piece of the pie once again. I think back to Jeb Bush, who seemed like a smart person. Yet at the same time, dynasty on a third term and the amount money being thrown would mean another set of hands tied, this time with more reason to trust. So maybe it would not have been so bad? Though it might have put us to sleep.

I have made a commitment to protect Trump as a person. Yet that could lead to spillover and momentum in the campaign. It is a cat and mouse game, where the true fecal matter of politics is unmasked and now all that is left is the same old dark routine, going through the motions as if it is business as usual. He's a tough cookie though, and maybe I should not be trying to coddle him, like the press does, and most people who disagree with him.

The most difficult part is the fact that the American Public has compromised themselves in one way or the other. For Bernie, believers in capitalism had to suck it up and accept socialism as something that might work. For Trump it is something else. Now with Clinton back in the spotlight, again that watery compromising sense of do goodery pardon the pun "Trumps" the card.

This is a serious playbook, like in third world countries where the sporting events are rigged, and everyone knows it but they still go along with the motions, for box score legitimacy, and business as usual. It is base, it is crude, it is corrupt, but it continues. The question is, does the atmosphere get corrupted along with it.

Let's talk  politics, and how the mouths of conversations have been sealed. Talking about the cops will get you benched. Talking about the Jews, a fair share of misery. Talking about gays can make people turn the cards against you. Talking about George Bush Jr. can make people wonder if you really get it or not. Talking about Money can make you seem like a communist. Talking about Asians can make you look like you've lost touch. Sure racism is a hideous disease. Yet regulating it through media, and through the channels of  "intelligent" conversation, and the fear of imminent outcasting just cuts down to instant gratification and basically automatically disqualifies or casts a large percentage of the male population down to size. Career windows have been opened for people who stick to P.C. in kind of the same way Islam empowers people.

So, yes, positive, undertones are being dispersed in droves. A Hispanic State congressman is going to Jail in Southern California. African American's are still sorting out the meaning of selling out to "the man". Asians are so immersed in the greasy concessions sold to them, that they are floating above it all. Arab American's are being watched with a close eye, except for the one's that really need to be watched. The Asian American's current situation in the Untied States is a doozy of righteous might. A messy, greasy spoonful of Capitalist Communism coming from the old country. The Chinese are taking what we basically handed over to them and sending flocks of tourists, mostly to the San Gabrel Valley of Los Angeles County to spend time in cheap motels eat at odd questionable buffets, and go on tours buses to the sites and sound of America. I suspect that the restaurants are secretly operated by the Chinese as are the tour buses- who's drivers look like Mongolian Brutes. They make the balance sheets right, but in truth it all goes back to "Chi-Na" as Trump would eloquently state.

I might sound like a sour sap, but that's where I stand in politics my friend. What more can you expect from years of side jabbing our then current, now former president, with the same Tenacity as his father, or the Christian Conservatives.

I think about Hannibal attacking Rome, choosing to take elephant over the Alps. Then it think about how tired we are about talking about empire. That is what the Persian's did to defeat my people, the Armenians, and make them worship fire. They Trump us using Elephants, where we stayed true with the Donkeys, a real beast of Burden. They had to go and pick the largest free-roaming beast on the Planet, and Tame it, so they could have an advantage and make us worship fire. Brave Vartan, kept his cross close to his heart, though, and never gave into them. To this day we pride ourselves for not going to the ways of the Assyrians, and we fought back and won back our religion. No, no Elephants will not do either. Maybe we should keep thinking about what it means to go up against terrorists: and that if the worms look hard enough, they will find the enemy just like themselves.

Fiddling with the plan is becoming like a harsh, but fair lesson. Sleeping is easy when two things come up from the bottom. First is the Handy-man whose brings a loving family and fortune, and second is a wild cat who yearns for the place of the handy-man. Here come the chickens.

Four Year Waiting Period

As I became more astute to the sludgy, frightening, dark realities of the Political Arena, I find the feelings that surface to be the most dis-trustworthy. Most importantly, while all other forms of intellectual thought in our country are being thrown out the window, wholesale, the power vacum in the process remains. The feeling when their ideal choice of candidate is not elected, or the candidate for whom you have volunteered for, does not achieve victory that sense of being down for the count for four more years.

There is a lot of footage surfacing of President Bill Clinton and his campaign in 1992. Looking upon it and looking at how he ran his campaigns, how Gore ran his campaigns, and how Hillary Clinton is running her campaign, it is quite evident that the concessions come from those who seek true change from being Down for the Count.

The count is for those who follow politics closely, who are fascinated with power and want their hand in the cookie jar of power. Naughty, Naughty, don't these people know that power corrupts? They should be coaxed away from it, after all these people just will not understand that power and money are linked so intimately and will ruin the delicate balance of a lifestyle with power and money. They are also to be cursed, for not putting themselves up for sale like any smart, decent American.

This ideology, no surprise, has "trickled down" to just about every level of our society. From high school elections, Rotary clubs, just about every social activity that requires some form of governance. The school yard mentality hangs over it, with new tennis shoes and a stern warning not to ruin other people's fairy tales, guarding heavily  the notion that naughty little changlings should not try to tip the delicate balance that has been so fruitful. The truth is lurking in the mix where "real power" , is propelling the status quo to swinish heights beyond wildest dreams of even the greediest people. 

When dead people are voting, and yes I will bet that chads are  still hanging and ruffians are suddenly volunteering on  election day, being down for the count has a whole new meaning.  It is like that sense of thirst that comes after an early morning softball game. It is a shared feeling between the winners and the losers, when the winner cheats, knowing full well that the truth needs to be forgotten by both sides.

What does not kill you only makes you stronger? That's been the adage of the hijackers of this country for over 40 years.  It is a sense of well being associated with the criminality pervasive all around. We are supposed to grin and bear it and feign intellectual conversation, but leave room for the corrupt to bombast their opinion as strongmen, where might makes right, as any good provincial thinker will concur.

When rigging occurs, when media spins out any prospect of positive change, when money poo poo real anger in this countries, the direness of the situation comes out. Politics and economics are liked very closely. Economics and Politics are not, but have been spun naturally so, to a point where we assume one does not exist with out the other. Economics and Culture, however is the roller coaster of life, and that is thrown into the mix to, causing aggravation, and dissenting opinions leading to hate.  Having weaseled their way into all three aspects, they have managed to win that feeling, this time, even before the general election takes place. They have spent their time planning for this, because for them it is the only thing that matters, and they will not give it up come hell or high water. Then again, that is a lesson for school chumps.

Just Wait Till Football Season

It is a dormant period now in the political arena. Hillary appears to be winning handily over Trump, and a foregone conclusion is that things are on the right track. Of course, we should believe that the Clinton's will have their hand back in the cookie jar, but bring good things to us, right? Yet with the onslaught of red-blooded savage beatings coming with football season, the uproar of the Trump base will be quickly riled up. Imagine the concoction of football and Trump reigning down upon the millions of unemployed males ages 18-42. They will have something to fight for and believe in, and it will get them through their week with a sense of pride and optimism.

No longer will the college educated males look down upon them with pity, as they cling to their jobs with a combination of wit and viciousness unseen in the last two millienia. In fact many of them will be tempted to join the crowd of Trump supporters and lean back into what they originally were fooled into supporting. It took months and month of propaganda like social media campaigns just to win them back.

It is poetic. A Billionaire, hijacking the party, turning against for what has catered to the likes of his kind. Biting the hand that feeds him, and hijacking the hijackers. Trump took their party away from them, and fractured the arena that they have laid siege to for decades. Meanwhile every concerned, and spin savvy citizen is screaming bloody murder, and hailing never Trump. It is a new politics of an up and coming generation, vying for legitimacy, power, and respect.

Football is very central to this generation and should not be discounted as a mere seasonal joyous occasion. It could very well lead to a red blooded surge, with girlfriends, and female followers in tow. The hope is that the better senses will get a hold of the masses and keep them from voting with passion. In any event the alternative is not much better.

Which brings me to the central tenant of the campaign, Crookedness. This is not a light term to be thrown about. Mostly because power is at stake and we all know what power does.(see previous sentence if you do not) Hillary will create an undertone of a notion that it is ok to be a little crooked. Hell, anyone who's anybody has had a little power and is crooked. That is the fatal error, the one that will allow the agenda to be skewed in the favor of the moneyed interest who are already turning fate toward themselves. They have emergency caves for situation such as these, where massive hysteria can lead to a huge demand for the truth. They will bury the truth, by utilizing yet another one of their assets. This time it will take the shape of returning to "work" and going back to business as usual. You will see it in  football season, you will see it in the media, and most importantly you will see it in your relationships with people all around you. You will assume that it the right course of how things should be, you will be wrong.

It is the seal for that economic tradeoff that has seeped into our countries deep sense of political liberty. It is the difference between safety and security and freedom. Playing it safe on the football field yield rewards, playing it safe in the political arena upsets the herd.  After all, what we get from the media is spoon fed nonsense , and their goal is to make us accept these facts hook, line and sinker. Then we can go about our business as if it was our own, not knowing of course that we just checked it away.

Election day is coming soon, and the excitement of politics has been deflated. Perhaps that is good thing, because for once we can take a look at what is really happening and root out the corrupt forces and make them bend to our will. The only question is, will our pride, passion, and our inability to accept wrongdoing get the better of us?

When Terror Brings Return!

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.

Consumption Will Hide That Pesky Reality

Those that have jobs consume. Those that do not have jobs fall off the face of the planet. Those who have jobs have someone to look down on and think, well thank god I have a job, and then go on consuming. 

Consumers have been single handedly carrying the Economy. Nothing Else.  No manufacturing, no investment in capital, and no new jobs created, except those for millennials who "demand" hand crafted jobs that will cater to them. 
 
They consume because that is what is asked of them, and what advertisements are consistently reminding them. I have sworn off commercials. They are meant to Brand people so that they can be fooled into accepting the consumers lifestyle, and of course eating as much meat and dairy as possible. Sure, we would not have all this entertainment and sports without them, but when they cross the line, they must be held in check. So I swear off of them. Every blue moon or so, I will look at what they are selling and promise to purchase an Item, just to keep the pony show rolling, but I will not cater to their greedy vision of mass consumption and a fairy tale ending, usually at the mall.

I am also weary of the Chinese. It seems that the entire country is visiting the Southern California area, on a mission to prop up the economy in the United States, so they can go about stealing our jobs. I am convinced that their employers give their worker free vacations to the United States, so as to pump money from the jobs that they stole from us, so we go on thinking that everything is Hunky Dory. 

The numbers are skewed, the information is false, and many people are yearning for the days where our government was just "a little" corrupt. I guess that is the lesson they would like to teach us. If we complain, then they will give us a glimpse of what it could be like. So vote back in the establishment, suckers, and don't forget to thank them on your way out of the Voting booth, with that false sense of sold optimism that spans from the elementary schools to the retirement "communities". 

I would like to be wealthy for a few weeks or so to see what is on that side. Then again, wealthy people are not the same as they used to be. They used to live in mansions and drive limos, take first class vacations, and make others jealous. Apparently now it is more of a predatory situation. They want to bully people in traffic, they want to be seen in public as a better breed of person, and most of all they want more "power". That sweet concoction of power, the ultimate aphrodisiac to strive for, nothing else will do the trick. The suckers will put more of them over this hurdle,  the .1%. Just getting close to it means living the rest of your lives in relative luxury, but you can never attain that heavenly mixture that is sealed off.

So there it is hook,line and sinker. I feel like I have been taking a book from Bernie Sanders. Yet that is the truth. Many people are falling off the face of the earth, and those that are not are living in fear, consuming like there is no tomorrow. It makes for good conversation with the newest brand of 18 dollar wine and that new recipe from the Whole Foods, meat and dairy included, of course. Then again these things have never been acceptable, because it forces people to really look at themselves, and to accept the fact that they have been misled.  This is why poor Bernie did not win the election. They knew that if they rigged the election close enough to the beginning, there would be enough people in denial, or in another tax bracket who would continue harping status quo and keep the greed train on the path. Life is good, after all, if you close your eyes far enough.
