Clear Channel
Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the warm, muggy, soon to be thunderous island of Nantucket! Great to be with you on this very humid, heavy Hyannis/Hyannis Port Waterfront(s)–the 15th day of July, 2015–a lazy Wednesday morning to be sure, around 10:55 a.m.. Most of the visitors from all ’round this little blue rock we all call ‘home’ for this present moment are well aware that it is a little sticky out there and that we will be receiving some more of that ‘normal’ wild weather a little later on in the form of thunder, lightening and heavy rain. Although, right now it is sunny…
The sun is always shining 35,000 feet above one’s head. Eternal Hope. U.S. President Barack Obama will be speaking today in Washington D.C., mostly regarding an historic deal between the U.S. and Iran–pure in it’s intention and focus--a deal to curb and hopefully eliminate the latter’s nuclear weapon ambitions. There is little doubt the extremely hard work put in by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has paid off. This deal is coupled with this fine president’s leadership in the monumental task of ridding the world–once and for all–of any and all nuclear weapons; including the materials needed to make one. Preventing rogue nations from getting their hands on any “loose nukes” in the future. This agreement between Iran and the rest of that world is not only historic, it also represents a deep hope that reason and logic will finally triumph, peace becoming the watchword of the day.
Diplomacy is not just for breakfast anymore. Talking out ‘your problems’ is infinitely more effective than bombing them away. Of course, don’t tell that to the military industrial complex! Greedy and rather insane men of the gun, always standing to gain from a good skirmish in the Middle East. Just ask Dick Cheney, he’ll tell ya!
The American citizenry has been dumbed down–U.S. media’s soul being bought and all–over the course of the past twenty or so years, brainwashed by the 500 or so channels on their collective TV’s, ’smart phones’ or any number of electronic collars. Now mouthpieces for multinational corporations and the Oligarchs who own them. Thus, said American public (most of them), not in a position to make a clear, intelligent, informed choice when this race for the 2016 U.S. President really heats up. For the “services” they receive from their ‘cable providers’ are not really the “Clear Channel” of truth and grace, love and forgiveness, no sir! Most of these stations are designed to “inform” the target, I mean, listener, with as little KNOWLEDGE as possible, ‘providing’ little in the way of quality information. All while peddling enough pharmaceutical poison to kill and Elephant.
So when you tune into FOX “news” tonight (God forbid, I pray), keep this in mind. There is a lovable old scallywag in Australia convincing you to vote against your own best interests. Rupert, “arrgghh matey!”, Murdoch, is that ancient news man who has made a fortune in telling whoppers to that world–via News Corporation–for decades and decades and decades; shaping American political opinions from Iowa to New Hampshire, California to Michigan, with those manipulated opinions eventually turning into votes and thus, power in the United States of America.
We miss you CBS News’ Walter Cronkite!
Have a great day everybody!
PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M
