Storm Clouds Gather (again) !!
Bill Mahr "stung" Billy Crystal on last night's show. Crystal "howled" like a pig stuck in a fence when Mahr accused him and his co-horts of undermining our President because of race. By now, however, its clear, even to the blind, that we've engaged in a very serious and dangerous game of deliberately weakening our country and our ability to govern ourselves; because of an insane desire to retain white, male, control over EVERyTHING!
Riding the twin horses of Institutional Racism and Greed, Ronald Reagan opened this era in 1980. He also opened the doors, diplomatically, to the Vatican -- the source of Fascist forces on this planet! No leader, and not our Founders, would have done such a foolish thing. Reagan was moving to solidify a base of Old South racists (Bull Connor), with urban and non-South Ethnics (Christie?) This combination has "broken" our governmening system set up by our Founders, and; lately, has taken to shooting young black males in the streets; because, the rest of our whites will let them.
I think History will show that a traceable string of activities, since 1980, has brought us to a place where the entire world is now in peril. Putin may represent the worst of both Adolph Hitler AND Joe Stalin. He has obviously been using Assad, and Syria, as a "laboratory" to predict what the United States "leadership" and that of Europe is capable of doing to stop him. We have precious few of the "defenses", put in place in 1948, by wiser heads in our past, left to use. We should have smelled a rat in 2001, following 9/11, when those "defenses" mysteriously failed. Undermined over the years by agents in our Congress, Cheney/Bush had a green light to pursue their goals, fed by the fires of race and greed. Remember, "W" had fun riding "shotgun" for Sharon BEFORE he decided to invade Iraq. Our "Intelligence" apparatus has been cut to shreds by Congress!
We saw this, before World War II, when these forces gathered to prevent leaders like FDR from challenging Hitler. I saw this, as a young officer in the early 1960's when Walter Lippmann, the most famous newspaper columnist of the time, warned Martin Luther King that Foreign Affairs was "White-man's" business in this country.
Stay Vigilant! It is what it is! Pray we can find another Churchill (somewhere) and that FBP can rise to the challenge of FDR! We will almost certainly learn (again) what SACRIFICE MEANS! OSCARS? (anyone)
