Stockholm Syndrome
Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the cool, sunny, beautiful and tranquil island of Nantucket! Great to be with you on this Tuesday morning, a little after sunrise as you see below you (Hyannis Harbor), the 1st day of October, 2013, a stellar day out there and if you plan on visiting the Cape today from say Indiana, make sure you ’sea’ the Cape Cod National Seashore because, what? It’s closed?! The republican nut jobs did what?!! They shut the bloody country down over the implementation (ironically today) of the Affordable Care Act (LAW)? Those bastards! That’s right folks, just like a little, mean spirited fat kid that no one likes, a true spoiled brat, the far right wing faction of said caucus has managed to shut the federal government down, the U.S. federal government at midnight, by far the largest employer in the country, sending 800,000 workers home, including the FDA and NASA. All public parks and landmarks, from Yosemite to the Smithsonian Institute to the Statue of Liberty will be closed, services to the elderly such as ‘meals on wheels’ will be curbed as well as services to children such as ‘head start’, along with other agencies that act as the glue that holds this nation together. All for what? To make an ideological point that NO one worth their salt on the GOP side of the coin is in favor of? That’s right, Senator, or should we say de facto “Speaker of the House” Ted Cruz of Texas got his wish to be the biggest douche bag in the room, opting to hurt America as he does his master’s bidding–i.e. certain unnamed plutocrats who, should I divulge their names could be viewed as a lack of discretion, The KOCH BROTHERS!, founders of “Americans for Prosperity” (at the expense of 99 percent of the ‘little Americans’), want to turn this nation ‘of the people’ into a nation of ‘of the corporation’, a nation where there exists no regulations and no taxes, a nation where the letter of the LAW need only apply to those making under 10 million dollars a year (just ask the big CEO’s of the big five banks in this country, they’ll tell ya!), while the oligarchy rapes and pillages the land for their own profit margins, all while using said government for subsidies, e.g. oil and farming, subsidies for themselves, while it cuts off social programs for the masses such as S.N.A.P., creating a chasm so wide between the haves and the have nots one needs a GPS device just to navigate between the two points… Did you think ‘ole Ted there was working by himself? Come on media outlets! Get the REAL story. Of course this need not apply to the likes of FOX “NEWS” where the good folks over at ‘ole Rupert “arrrgggghhhhh matie!” Murdoch’s station employ the Stockholm Syndrome daily, urging it’s viewership that they should feel sorry for their captors, indeed look upon a Ted Cruz as a hero, while they struggle to put food on their own tables (note the chain on the frog’s ankle while he offers his monster captors some nice flowers). The goal of the media today should be this– I want to see the man behind the curtain, I want to see the wizard! (and expose them for who and what they truly ARE!) Well, I am sure John Stewart of “The Daily Show”, not to mention Steve Colbert on “The Colbert Report”, congratulations by the way on the Emmy!, will have a field day with this one, as we head off into the unknown with the raising of the debt ceiling in three weeks or so, i.e. paying our bills! Pay attention to that man behind the curtain, ask yourself what is the end game with these jokers, these slobs of society, whose only goal is to make more money than GOD! WE will SEA about that won’t we? Have a nice day folks and keep on keeping on, for it is always darkest right before the dawn… PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M
