(not yet) "DEAD" : (no longer) "SILENT" !!

Some "Good" NEWS, for a CHANGE?

They call our generation "Silent" (birth year, 1939), because we elected no President from our generation. Given what the "Presidency" and the process that activates it, has come to today, we did this nation a favor, I guess. For those dwindling numbers of us still here, there is a treasure trove of information and insight available from the Great Depression, World War II, and the Cold War. It seems that most of our citizens today are "not interested" -- even while living through "echoes" of those horrific events!

That is especially true of our Cable Media Outlets, led by FOX and followed by CNN. Perfecting what Goebbels accomplished with lesser technologies at the time of my birth, these outlets "own" the minds of too many of that Silent Generation; remaining among us. It's a special type of cruelty to "psyche" and "plumb" these old minds for past racist social habits, after they have struggled for so long to convince themselves that they have "overcome" those practices and beliefs.

C-SPAN remains popular among this group, but, unfortunately, it sweeps in a panoply of other belief systems. On today show, they featured in-depth coverage of a new study, Media Insight Project, http://www.americanpressinstitute.org/publications/reports/survey-research/personal-news-cycle/

Google it! Read their findings; they show how our news consumption is presently segmented by age, devices used, type of media, etc.

Our "Silent" Generation is surprisingly "savvy" about what is happening to them, our nation, and the world.

We have money, we read, we were taught to speak clearly, listen well, and to THINK! Not so, for the generations that followed us.

Stay Vigilant! We may live long enough to help save this nation (again)! You 'young-uns' had better be careful, Rush Limbaugh is writing books for your babies. He' obviously projecting new markets ahead?

TO CORY BOOKER:

Please? Can you get an answer??

Risking exposure of the fact that I could NEVER be a politician, who, like you, is willing and able to "break bread" with some of the most foul among us, I applaud your willingness to do so with every one of these people I call Repoobs. Extremely unlike the Republicans who preceeded them (Brooke, "Irksome" Dirksen); they began appearing on the scene to form the "clown car" of candidates of "Republicans", during the run-up to the 2012 election. We all saw their unprecedented vitriol as it continued to mount, up to, and including their Party Convention.

The relentless campaign to de-legitimate a sitting president of the United States of America, demoralizes our citizenry, and encourages the rise of opposition abroad. In my 74 years, I have never seen such a thing; and

we've gone through some horrible times in this country since my birth year of 1939. The race of the President is their operative base. No one who is not hopelessly blind can deny that!

So: my question: ask them if its true that, what author Sam Greenlee wrote in his novel; The Spook Who Sat By The Door, 1969, Sixth Printing, 2002, Chapter 9: (spoken of white liberals):

"They can forgive a nigger almost anything, other than competence, ..."

Since 1969, the burning of our cities, the "Backlash" Movement (white Liberals and white Right), the installment of powerless (except or Mayor Washingon?) Black Mayors around the country, the White Right have learned well the tactics of the white Liberal of the "Great Society". Ask the Repoobs what they hope to gain by pursuing their tactics? Do they think their destruction of the power of the Office of the President, and the reputation of this one man will get it for them?

Stay Vigilant! Let us know what they tell you?? Are you sure you're from New Jersey??

TEXAS (PERRY) talks "SECCESSION" (again) ; ROMNEY draws a "RACE CARD" ??

Did U Know; Lincoln "Armed" Blacks (men)??

Read a (real) copy of the Emancipation Proclamation; it's there! At a time when blacks in this country could be killed, by any white person, no questions asked,; any black owning or touching a "gun" would certainly bring a quick a death (usually of an entire family, "community", or region). Those "Armed" blacks were those black men who fought for the Union in our Civil War. They were swiftly sent, after Lincoln's assassination, and the amendments of our Constitution that applied, OUT WEST! They made our country safer for white settlers getting out of our East, they fought "Indian Wars" in our South and West; fought Outlaws (including Billie the Kid in Historic Lincoln County, New Mexico. They protected that 'ol reprobate, Leland Stanford's, railroad interests. (Maybe THAT's why today's SPOOKS, like "little miss mushroom cloud" Condi, love to hang out there)? (Have U Seen "12-Years" yet??)

Hey Barry! I caught your White House Ceremony yesterday. Notice it featured mis-treated Jews and "Hispanics" (one token black). http://nypost.com/2014/03/19/obama-honors-unrecognized-military-veterans/

From: New Mexico's Buffalo Soldiers 1866-1900: (Monroe Lee Billington, Univ Press of CO, pg 108):

"Because of feats of heroism during the Indian Wars of the late nineteenth century, eighteen black enlisted men, eleven of whom were members of the Ninth Cavalry, received Congressional Medals of Honor. Eight of these men performed their deeds of valor in new Mexico, where, along with others who pursued Victorio and Nana, they experienced some of the most grueling ordeals in the history of the Indian Wars. In the face of great dangers, they fought - and died - to make New Mexico and the West safer for civilians of all races."

Against long odds, the Buffalo Soldiers Society of New Mexico have fought the "establishments" of this state, white, Hispanic, Native, that have little or no interest in allowing this history to be known. Current Governor, included!

Those Outlaws of the old West became "lawmen" ( and Texas Rangers, that oppressed blacks and "Mexicans" who survived the Tejanos the Texans "screwed" after gaining their help at the Alamo).

Back to Mitt: he's taking advantage, I guess of the "incredibly shrinking Christie" (same as Perry?) in these Hard-Right Civil Wars going on in our Republican Party. Looks like 'ol Mitt is looking to "gut" Cruz and Rubio in 2016. (MELISSA: stop yo' sniv'lin, Gal! You soundin' laks "Butterfly McQueen! Rachel would never do that on T.V!!). Don't let the likes of Romney scare you.

Stay Vigilant! Maybe the White House can help out the New Mexico Buffalo Soldiers??

Against "THE LAW" ?? (really?)

"Law" vs. "Gun"??

Both within nations, and outside nations on this planet, this is the issue!. All world citizens are frustrated because there is no effective international "law" to help us find the "vanished Red Eye Flite". There is no international "law" that binds the likes of Putin to anyone (except himself and his cronies). Within the AMERICAS, the LAW, since 1492 has been whatever the most dominant rich, white, male, and religiously-powerful males say it is. NOTE TO ROMNEY: Knock off your "jingo" dog-whistles to your Mad, Hard-, Right, Cracker-Mindset adherents: THE AMERICAN PEOPLE include ALL citizens of North America, South America, and Central America.

For those who crave empire, the gun is the ultimate law. In a materialist world, you can only "own" what you can keep by force. In our National Security Strucsture of 1948, we included a Defense Department (formerly a War Department) -- for "guns"; and a State Department (in our early years as a nation, the U.S. Navy performed that function, because then, as now, Command of Sea Lanes was essential).

We are persistently, and peculiarly, a deeply rascist nation (from our early founders to this day); we have corrupted these institutions as we spread our internally-perfected, institutionalized racism abroad. The "chickens" are coming home this early in the 21st century. Cheney/Bush/Rumsfeld put the final, perhaps fatal,stress on our Defense as a nation; when they, for the first time in our history, cut taxes while in the midst of launching long costly international wars. They may have "destroyed" armed defense as a viable concept. Our South-by-Southwest "Katzenjammers" in our Senate (McCain and Graham) are pitiful remnants of this dangerous bunch.

To a Bush: "Law" is Stand-Your-Ground (go hunting for unarmed black males in our streets).

To our Supreme Court: "Law" is whatever Hard-Right "Bull-Sh*t" they can pass.

To members of the Cracker-MindSet: "law" is still the white, male, U.S. citizen.

Holder or Gonzales? Take your pick, if you think "Law" is our Attorney General (at the Federal Level).

In Our States: "Law" is whatever our encroaching "Red" Governors can get their legislatures to pass.

To Federal Attorneys in our nation: (Christie was one; enough said?)

The world is in a "pickle"; from Putin abroad to Christie at home. "Law" becomes more meaningless every day. The Ultimate "Lawless" ?? Large Corporations (everywhere); Organized Crime (everywhere); and your foamin'-at'the-mouth neighbor (white, male, any age) with a "gun".

Stay Vigilant! Pull your head (the bigger one) out! Exxon/Koch-America approaches!

ABRAHAM LINCOLN goes GLOBAL??

A "Fold" in History??

As we get past the Ides Of March, 2014, and reach St. Patty's Day; this nation, and the rest of the world, finds itself in a startlingly "curious" place. This is especially true for those few of us on this planet who CAN read, WILL read, and CAN THINK; carefully. Of course the "Empty Wagons" among us have to be automatically excused. My 8th-grade teacher used to remind us: "It's the empty wagons that make the most noise". You Media-Junkies out there who choose not to read or think, might reflect (if you can) on that.

Our FCP (Kennedy) was compared to Abraham Lincoln, and, like Lincoln, was assassinated by racist, hard-right elements in our Deep South, who were strong defenders of chattel-slavery. Today's FBP, ran for office in 2008; channeling Abraham Lincoln. Today, those racist, Deep South descendants are the leaders of every person who, outside of the Ol' South will assist them in "taking down" our FBP. Most of these elements are to be found outside that region (mostly South by Southwest, and Inter-Mountain); the list seems to grow daily as they "spread-Red" across our nation. Their goal: to retain, at all cost, the racial/social/economic system that "replaced" chattel-slavery.

Not only race: abortion, same-sex issues, fundamental religions (Protestant "Bible-Thumpers" and white ethnics Catholics) in the rest of our country, -- aided and abetted over more than a decade by Netanyahu?) are prominent "players" in this toxic bunch. They live and/or operate inside the Republican Party. The goal of this growing group is to preserve rich-white privileges. Any and all means are being brought to bear, as they near their goal of TOTAL TAKEOVER, from the inside(?) of our system. Since at least 1970, they have systematically dismantled basic elements of our Constitution, and undermined the fundamental structure left to us by the Founding (white, slave-owning) "Fathers".

Today, the playing field is not limited to the United States. It is GLOBAL! It should be clear to even the most thick-headed that the expansion into global economics has come at a time when the population of the planet is not equipped legally, socially, or economically to cope with it. Today's tactics are to cripple the global economy, and spread the centuries-old racial poison, developed, perfected, and spread across our planet by the United States. More than 200 years of "legal work" is involved. The ethnic ancestors of our racial/ethnic/religious "players", across the planet, are being "stitched in". Murdoch? Ailes?

There is no "going back" to nation-based strategies. The Global expansion is permanent. Putin, unable to stop it, is trying (clearly, except to the blind) to slow it down, turn it in his direction, and/or spread confusion among his minions. For example: the "vanished nite-flite" mystery must be "solved" before severe damage is done to air travel. If there is no safe or secure air travel; EVERYONE is impacted! These Repoobs are playing with dynamite in ALL DIRECTIONS!

Stay Vigilant! Ar you really planning to "couch and watch" while BIG MONEY buy-out your DEMOCRACY ??

YER' MONEY! .. or ..YER' LIFE! ??

Our "Wild-West" meets "Medicine"??

To paraphrase Moms Mabley: People's goin' Crazy, Today, That's neva' gone crazy befo! . Today, when we're all distracted by Ukraine, a "vanished" nite-flite, and Vladimir; ( all Wet Dreams for Hollywood and our Fascist-leaning Media, --big-time); we have to "break-lock" from the spell being woven by any tallking head before a camera, who immediately feigns "expertise", and then springs their personal phobias, drawn from their "cracks"; the drive toward mass insanity accelerates!

Our National Security State, formed in 1948, has been the foundation for rule of the planet since that time. Our CIA, formed as part of that structure, brought selected Ex-Nazis to this country. The Baby Boom, begun in 1947, quickly joined the babies of these Nazis into our national bloodstream. Sympathizers to Hitler, before this country entered World War II, be-deviled FDR, from our Congress, similarly to the tactics we see today. After Ike, who feintly warned us as he "got outta Dodge"; after McCarthy, aided and abetted by the likes of Reagan; andafter the Bay of Pigs; Harry Truman stated that creating the CIA was a "mistake".

We then lurched to the Cuban Missile Crisis, the assassination of Kennedy (our FCP?), Malcolm, Martin, and Bobby; this element (strangely traceable to Texas, beginning around 1960) had its "head". The National Security States is in shambles today, except for the POWER OF MONEY! ( and FEAR, as Cheney/Bush demonstrated in their "uses" of 9/11). Our Congress today is the FOX-HOLE this element operates from.

After the voting results in Tampa a few days ago, this Cabal smells blood as they march behind the false-front of Obamacare to regain total control of Congress. They will have the power to "shut-down" Obama. The United States, as Hollywood portrays it, but never was, will be GONE!! This mess, begun by Nixon

allied with the AMA, and called "The Best Health-care System in the World", was joined by Hospitals, and, fatally,big Insurance and big Pharma, quickly threatened to bankrupt the country. Its a false choice to choose between "Entitlements" or "Big Spending". Health-care costs drive all of it!

Good medicine-practicioners, caught on, and started voting with their feet during the Clinton Administration.

The, experienced, amazingly capable doctors were the heart of whatever kept this country healthy since the last Depression. They believed in the Hippocratic Oath http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocratic_Oath.

The mostly-foreign, or foreign-trained doctors who are rapidly replacing them in our system pose life or death risks to us all. The only thing that stands between them and the government money our present system pormises is the Patient! THESE doctors have the same power to "bury their mistakes" left to them by the AMA. All Greedy, Racist, and philosophical backers of the anti-Obamacare forces shoould THINK TWICE.

Stay Vigilant! "Dime-Novels" and Hollywood created the myth of "John Wayne" and the "Good Guy v. Bad Guy"; in our old Wild West. That crap, assisted by racist Comic Books during the last Depression maintained, updated and spread globally by Hollywood, is now deep in the mass "blood stream" of this nation, and Cracker-Backers around the world. CLEAN OUT CONGRESS WITH CAREFULLY SCRUTINIZED CANDIDATES in 2014!!

OVERTIME: where "HELP" meets "12-YRS" ??

The "True" POWER of "Computing"?

The "Real" "Road to 'Serfdom'" ??

R U "included" ?

If the "Ol Massas" of chattel-slave operations in the Americas, from 1530 to the end of Our (first) Civil

War (1865); had TODAY's "Computing Power" ; chattel-slavery would not have been defeated in that War; and Texas might have succeeded in its plan to extend slavery to California! They would have the "computing" power to calculate the optimal mix of water and corn meal to work their slaves to death most efficiently!

Our Corporations, today, have that power; all industries, all levels, all "market-caps". President Obama's

Executive Action yesterday reveals to those (who are not still brain dead) how those in our Upper-Middle-Class "get this"! Watch C-Span today and get the "Overtime-101" that everyone must understand how they do it; and you can escape the Bullsh*t our MEDIA and the Hard Right are handing out.

Thank GOD for Bill Maher! (oops); No one, not even Pope-Too; Not even his nemesis, Paul Ryan; who is busy "dog-whispering his carefully-selected messages to the differing segments that adhere to the Cracker-Mind Set on our Hard Right. For the rest of us who are infected by, and under sway of, the Cracker-Mind Set, and who who pose as Liberals, Independents, Progressives, and, whatever you can call what Rand Paul is morphing into; I rely on Bill Maher to keep me up to date on our race against time to prevent the INTERNALLY-driven COLLAPSE of these United States of America! Big Money and the mindless, race-mad loonies of the Right and the Republican Party are poised to achieve in the 2014 election the "victory" they failed to get in the 2012 election.

Today, when we're also terribly distracted by "Red-Eye-Flights" that "vanish" in the night; and those truly evil

enemies, in Russia; of this world as we have known it. To fully understand these things, we all must also understand what National Technical Means, means. If you are one of those among us who still swallow the story that 9/11 occurred without access to these Means; that 19 or so smart, young, Arab, engineers pulled it of; on their own; you need serious help with your ability to think!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_technical_means_of_verification.

Stay Vigilant! So many messages, so little TIME (for anything). The clock is ticking! DoesMarch Madness replicate the worst aspects of chattel slavery?? We must ALL become Elijah Cummings, or "Di-Fi"!
