"FOLLOW" the "DUCK(s)" ??

"Tis the Season" & The "Ducks" are Busy!!

Are the remaining "Conservatives" in this country to pitied? Or, What? It strikes me that they are extremely busy re-defining "Conservative" for the 21st Century. I began this BLOG (The OWL) in 2011, because I couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing on our "Smelly Telly"; in the run-up to the 2012 re-election of President Barack Obama.

This heavily race-based government; fashioned and bequeathed to us by our Founders; has moved quite a distance, socially, politically, and economically from those days in the late 18th Century when Slave Owners

decided to "go-for-broke" and confiscate the assets of the King of England (slaves and all).

Today's "Conservatives" are fighting "tooth-and-nail" to 'conserve' what they can of that legacy, warts and all! Enter the "Ducks": and find that many Deep South miscreants are busy re-defining things. The "N" word is off the table for their use, so they need credible stand-ins. These people live inside a peculiar, extreme version of the Christian Bible. It is one in which every thing and every one they don't like, are "fair-game". Homosexuals and Blacks are their most recent target. According to "Papa Duck","We's (blacks)" are just happy-go-lucky, never "blue" shufflers. Christians are the new name for "whites" (they don't say what non-Christians are); (their)God does not approve of Homosexuals, and history will be constantly re-written to conform to their image of those people who are "not like" them.

They fall perfectly in line with all other religious extremists around our planet who are busy cooking up trouble that, unless successfully-checked, will consume us all. There is a strange assortment of "supporters" trailing in their wake. One, the Governor of the troubled state of Louisiana, is of "Indian" extraction. As the most racist Southern States "dig-in" to protect their troubled past; another state, South Carolina, has also chosen the "Indian" route to the achievement of their goals. Could it be that India, aside from inflicting a terrible historic legacy on our Native Americans, are well versed, from Ancient times, in matters such as Race, Class, Caste, and Skin Color? That past seriously threatens the future of India to this day. Google Oliver Cromwell Cox, and learn all you need to know about this history.

Pay attention, also, to the very visible, and vocal, "white women" who champion "The Ducks". Take it from someone who lived through decades of nationally-visible incidents from Emmett Till to Trayvon Martin, it's the WOMEN (all races, all religions) who are the "keepers" of the socio-economic order! Don't fall for "Women" (the way voters fell for counterfeit Blacks i.e.,on our Supreme Court); -- mistaking them for "reformers"!!

Stay Vigilant! Question everything, and everyone. Choose wisely!

"BLACK SANTA" .. "Rip"-off? or: "Riff"-Off?

YOU Can Decide .. "Reserved" Rights Infringed?

I woke up to a replay of SNL's 14Dec "Riff" on Black Santa. I bolted up at the lines about Santa "stealing" credit for my work. I thought "I wrote that"! Sure enough, on December 9, 2012, THE OWL published (over: "All Rights Reserved: Williams LLC") A Christmas Story (Santa as "Educator"??).

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/15/santa-claus-is-black_n_4449345.html

After some digging, I found that a fast-moving story in the Media, involving Slate, FOX, MSNBC, and SNL was "going viral" over, what obviously, to me, sprang from my Blog. Google: willigl, and it will pop up THE OWL (willigl.blogspot.com). Search the time line on the right of the articles and click on 2012, December, and the blog will appear as the December 9, 2012 publication.

One year and one day after I published, Slate published its article by Aisha Harris.

http://www.slate.com/articles/life/holidays/2013/12/santa_claus_an_old_white_man_not_anymore_meet_santa_the_penguin_a_new_christmas.html

That article led to FOX folks reactions that involved throwing racist remarks about Santa and Jesus to their white supremacist base. The story, as they say, now has "legs"; and is spreading rapidly.

I encourage all to read the December 9, 2012 story, and decide if "writers" in the media are playing fast and loose with "protected" content.

A footnote; a few years before I appeared as a black Santa, I asked a young Jewish colleague at the NSA if he held Christmas or Jewish Holidays for his young children. He replied: I do all of the versions, I don't want my kids to miss anything. My sentiments exactly, resentments, and all!

Stay Vigilant! Merry (purloined?) Christmas!

SNOWDEN: "60 minutes": "intelligence" ??

Remembering When NSA (and our "intelligence") "worked"

Did CBS and "60 Minutes" lose their nerve, and their "way", after Cheney/Bush "gutted" Dan Rather? Can' Be Sure??

Last night's lead story on "60 Minutes" left me, and, I'm sure many other citizens, "incredulous"! Did I just see, in prime time, the head of the NSA say he traveled to Hawaii to "sit in the seat" that Snowden occupied when he ripped this country off? Did I also see his "man in charge" openly disagree with his boss, for all the world to see? Did I hear them both admit that we still don't know the extent of what Snowden did, or how he did it?

As a veteran who served "The Agency" during the Cuban Missile Crisis, I will never forget our President, those who supported him, and their "success" at turning away what was clearly the imminent threat of World War III (nuclear)!!

Contrast that with our "Intelligence" experiences during 9/11. We were told that NOTHING worked!! From the National Security Adviser, throughout the "Community", we were told that all "systems" failed! Reports of "tampering" with "intelligence" leading up to the Iraq invasion; "shuffles" and reorganizations within the "community"; and a Medal for the guy in charge of the CIA at the time, were all paraded before us.

President Truman, famously, spoke out after the Bay of Pigs incident, citing the CIA as a rogue agency and a flaw in the reorganization of our security apparatus following World War II. http://irapilgrim.mcn.org/war13.html

Are we left to believe that a high-school drop-out, white male U.S. citizen, pulled off a caper that has hamstrung our security apparatus in 2013; and, did it ALL ALONE?? If we do, then, shame on us!! If Putin saw last night's show, he must have cracked a rib laughing at us.

Stay Vigilant! We deserve the Government that we ACCEPT!!

THE "SECRET" OF MANDELA'S SUCCESS ??

RESPECT is the KEY !!

I've been taught that "Nobody respects a person, or a people, who don't respect themselves, or those people who were their "forebears"! I am convinced that Nelson Mandela showed the world the power an individual can wield when he or she truly respects themselves and their ancestors.

The United States, an "immigrant" nation, has a history of attracting people from around the world who are eager to "extinguish" their past connections to country, family, kith, and kin. In addition, they all are expected to subscribe to "exceptionalism" , and its former identities of "white supremacy" and "color racism".

Non-white immigrants have have often striven to demonstrate their "non-blackness", or exhibit other techniques to "blend in" with the white "master class and race". All of the nation's institutions, both religious, and secular, are tainted with the stain. The nation faces the threat of ultimate decline as a result. It shows in our failing educational achievements, in our failure to share power across "color lines", our attitudes toward "guns", and in our religious postures and practices.

Non-whites, and especially those of them who admit to African ancestry, are peculiarly unable, this far in time from the formal "end" to chattel slavery, to break free of the curse of elevating all things white over all things "not-white". Social pathologies have grown and multiplied over centuries, as a result. The Trayvon Martin incident, and the failure of whites to respect President Obama are ready and obvious examples of the afflictions we face as a nation. The refusal to take seriously our exploding gun violence, is yet another. This nation's "identity crisis" supersedes all other social, economic, and political pathologies.

We depend on "Laws" to save us, but we don't enforce the laws we pass. We police our nation, and "educate" our nation with institutions peopled and controlled by uneducated or undereducated white males who insist on protecting our "conservative" past; to include forms of Segregation and practices that have not changed much since the days of chattel slavery.

From comic book heroes to Jesus Christ, we inflict our children with lies about their history and trick them into "worshipping" figures that are detrimental to their psyche.

By teaching the black South African a way to "forgive" whites for their historic actions, Mandela has taught them not to fall for the Western Christian definition of "forgiveness" that teaches that whites or "chosen" by God; or that they are "God's Messengers on Earth", and therefore, can be "forgiven" in advance for whatever they do. Its easy to see how they could, in the past, fool slaves who could not read or write (any white could kill them immediately for understanding any alphabet).

Mandela's "Going Home" today in the place of his ancestors, speaks volumes of his uniqueness among mankind.

Stay Vigilant! The agents of "corruption" and "confusion" were to be seen at the funeral! Pray for South Africa; Pray for the Earth!

When "RICH" whites "DUMP" poor whites (In the U.S.)

When It Happened Before

"Mad-Ronnie"s Reagan Revolution (1980) worked because he convinced poor whites that they were Middle Class (simply because they were white). The Archie Bunker, blue collar class rewarded Reagan by helping him kill their Unions! The last time we went through this in this country was after the Financial Meltdown that took place between 1929 and 1933 -- known as The Great Depression!

At that time the Labor Union Movement established their foot-hold in their fight against the Wall Street Barons and Industrialists; by passing Glass-Steagall legislation to curb the excess of the Money Boys of that day, and The Wagner Act for organized labor. Poor whites won those battles by forming alliances with non-whites. Once the Unions were established, they turned against their black and other non-white allies by creating segregated unions. Poor whites held rigidly to their "religion" of discrimination against persons of color. The root of that hatred rested in the religion of the ethnic white poor. The Rich of that day used those poor whites to "Police" the blacks and other non-whites in our segregated, apartheid nation.

Fast forward to 2013, and our Mad-Right, legacy of Mad-Ronnie, is engaged in a Civil War within the Republican Party. The Party finally realizes that they must exorcise the Tea Party and their fellow-travelling race baiters; or their Party has no future! Not all of these Wacko's are to be found in the Republican Party. There are still "Blue Dogs", and "Yellow Dogs", in the Democratic Party. Their poison is spreading throughout the nation, forming RED, (and Poor) states.

Hopefully, non-whites in the United States, like the blacks in South Africa, will find the inner courage and wisdom to stand up to this poison in all of its forms and get finally free from the shackles of slavery.

The poison works primarily in the mind, appealing to emotion, while killing off the ability to think rationally. The current "kerfluffle" in the Media over the "REDSKINS" is a current example of the way this poison works. The 'Birthers' are yet another.

Why now? Poor whites have "discovered" that, despite the Media's long-standing campaign to paste a non-white face on Poverty in this country; the majority of poor people in the United States are, and always have been, white!

The Republican Party, from 2000 to 2008 bilked this nation out of 13 Trillion Dollars, through river-boat gambles that failed in the Middle East, Tax Give-Away's to the top 1%, Housing Industry Melt-Downs, and a free-for-all in our banking and financial systems. That Middle Class that Reagan welcomed poor whites to join, vanished, as result!

While the Republicans "house clean" within their party, the Democrats must do the same! Political Tricks like electing a tough gansta from New Jersey, or electing a female, or some slick skin-color ruse like "9-9-9"; will not save a party or save our country!

Stay Vigilant! If Unions ever regain their strength, they'd better get it right this time!

the"CURE" FOR "HEALTHCARE" in the U.S??

"Dirty BIG Secrets"??

Those of us born before World War II know something, perhaps, the rest of you don't.

If you EVER paid ONE Cent of Federal Income Taxes during your life time, you have "subsidized" every medical doctor, every trained nurse, every pharmacist, and the "industries" they work in.

During the decades since WW-II, the most craven and self-centered among those in the "professions". have organized and worked to make their services "scarce"; for purposes of driving up prices, while restricting care. This "socialization" of medical care, has been something the leaders of organizations like the AMA have prized most highly, while pointing fingers and howls of "Socialized Medicine" at anyone who wanted to challenge their strangle-hold on healthcare in this country.

After the 1970s, President Nixon brought the Insurance Industry into the picture; perverting healthcare and "conditioning" us all to expect to self-limit our access to healthcare by thinking we had to allow insurance officials to dictate who received healthcare and who didn't. The insurance industry also became the force that "rationed" healthcare for all of us. We docilely accepted this travesty, all the while continuing to subsidize all of them with our taxes, and passively accept our "lot" in their dictates.

We can stop this crap!! Those of us in my generation remember when doctors and healthcare nurses visited your home; even if you, like me, were born in a racially segregated, "apartheid" world.

How! Break the artificial barriers to the production of quality doctors, nurses, and pharmacists in this country. Fire any insurance executive or agent who is not also medically trained to the highest level.

"Unbundle" those parts of the processes for healthcare delivery and strictly regulate every step in the process to keep the "snake-oil", unethical, and criminal elements out. Make sure that no aspect of healthcare delivery "subsidized" in any way for our tax dollars is ever restricted or limited, or diminished in quality for any recipient. Return to our national legal restrictions against advertising

any and all healthcare substances and/or devices that require a doctor's prescription!

Stay Vigilant! Wake up and realize that the Repoobs and their backers are agents of the craven actors in this entire matter! Obamacare is a "healthy" baby-step toward Healthcare Sanity!
