Spooky sunrise 2.0…
Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the pleasantly sunny, cool and very breezy island of Nantucket! Great to be with you on a bright, crisp Wednesday morning, the 15th day of October, 2014, and while all of the pundits, politicians, TV personalities, priest, poets and preachers, yes, as all the teachers, prognosticators, pampered plutocrats, prophets and most of all working poor, wake this early a.m., getting ready for yet another day on planet earth, or wherever some of them may be from, they will all be somewhat impacted by… what’s this? Just in from Reuters? There is an election in 20 days? An election that may turn the tide in this country one way or the other? That little letter ‘d‘ in the word and nations’ definition–democracy–hanging in the balance? Along with control of the U.S. Senate…? Do tell US more won’t you?
Voter suppression efforts by ‘not your grandpa’s GOP’ have failed in the states of Texas and Wisconsin recently, thus allowing for those targeted (African-Americans, students, the elderly, poor working people, really anyone not invited to the KOCH BROTHERS get together this past summer in Dana Point, California, you know, at “The MONARCH”) to have their collective voices heard on November the fourth, as I pray yours will be as well. For if Kansas and South Dakota, more about that later in the week, elect Independents, like Senator Angus King of the great state of Maine, instead of the puppets with an ‘R’ next to their name, it is quite possible that we could see independent thinking and action in that higher of the two houses of Congress, thus giving US all what we most desperately need right now in a country being devoured by special interests, i.e. BIG OIL and GAS–perhaps a move away from partisan gridlock, a movement TOWARDS Global solutions that help ALL of the people of this great land, not just those living in a bubble with a big gate keeping the ‘little people’ out, along with that unusual weather…
Keep an eye to the sky this next few hours or so if you are anywhere in that firing line of extreme weather that has become the norm of the corporate owned media outlets, heck, David Muir of ABC, doing a bang up job by the way, might as well have ‘Ginger Zee’ (weather personality-in-chief on ABC’s “World News Tonight”, with said David Muir) join him for the full broadcast, for that IS going to be the news for many years to come…
But, ’till then, keep on avoiding the real news of today, such as the “social unrest’ in Ferguson, Missouri, whose city, along with most of St. Louis and the surrounding area, stood in solidarity, demanding JUSTICE for the killing of Michael Brown this past week end in what was called ‘a week end of resistance’. Tens of thousands protesting in what is now called “Ferguson October”, perhaps a prelude to what may happen next if Brown’s killer, Officer Darren Wilson, is acquitted (as it is widely expected by most law scholars) of any and all charges of brutally firing at least 10 bullets into an unarmed teenager, killing him on the spot…
That’s right ABC, why not look at the real people of that town and many like it here in the United States of America in this late year of 2014…??
Where there is still no JUSTICE for a young black man, only 18, unarmed with his hands in the air, gunned down in a seemingly cold blooded way by a cop who a majority of white people in St. Louis believe was justified in executing this innocent soul.
Exactly how are we defining terrorism these days? It seems to me, the African-American community of Ferguson is steeped in more FEAR by the FPD then by ISIL ‘crossing’ the Mexican border’ with some of that Ebola stuff’…(a real quote from a real U.S. congressman whose name is not worth the ink to spill on paper). Have a nice rest of the week folks and steer clear of the fear, nonsense, ignorance and hate that IS FOX “NEWS”… Their brainwashing products have many side effects, but none so dire as the loss of one’s mind, moreover--the ability to think for oneself–thus making informed, wise and prudent decisions when entering the voting booth…
PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M
