Truth’s LIGHT
Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the sunny island of Nantucket! Great to be with you on this Sunday morning, seven a.m., the sixteenth day of October, 2011, just returning to the ‘typewriter’ from the ‘tip of the island’, Sampson’s Island, on Cotuit Bay, as the sun rises in the east once again, rising, I might add, in ‘purple mountain’s majesty’, over the mysterious body of water known as Nantucket Sound…should be a good day. The Sunday morning talk shows will be busy once again in a few hours, with punditry and pageantry all included for the low, low price of enduring all of those painful advertisements regarding pain medications, whose side effects, interestingly enough, parallel the side effects that can sometimes occur when viewing anything on the FOX NEWS propaganda television station of choice, whose main goal in inflicting their soul to that kind of torturous brainwashing must be either ignorance, intolerance, or insolence, as they suffer the side effects of watching such nonsense–side effects that include, but are not limited to, the occasional blindness, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, loss of hearing, brain damage, or, in rare occasions, seeing bright lights that are meant to lead one out of the darkness of hate and greed, and into the alien world of compassion, Love, kindness and generosity, words to some that seem as foreign as the French Constitution. On today’s, the only Sunday shows this reporter can stomach on the day normally reserved for rest, “Meet the Press, with David Gregory”, only on NBC, or ABC’s “This Week, with Christiane Amanpour”, both shows clearly the best in the business, you will most likely see stories that revolve around the unrest that is spilling out onto public streets, parks, and sometimes even tundra, as “Occupy Wall Street” goes viral, showing up all around the world (Google Milan, Italy for more coverage), evidenced by yesterday’s under-reported protests that took place in Times Square in New York City, where thousands of young, energetic, knowledgeable, and peaceful exercisers of the FIRST AMENDMENT took their bodies and voices, wills and souls to the PEOPLE, shouting out TRUISMS not heard by an ORGANIC group in this nation for quite some time, hearkening back to the days of 1968, the year when violent riots broke out in the streets, with great men like Senator Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., riding into those same streets demanding a change to the attitudes prevalent in this same nation then–screaming for racial tolerance, social JUSTICE and a fair shake for the common man or woman, who seem to be caught between a rock and a hard place in this country founded upon the words of perhaps our greatest President, Abraham Lincoln, who stated, in “The Gettysburg Address”, that ‘this nation. under God, shall have a new birth of freedom–and that government, of the People, for the People and by the People’. shall not perish from the face of the earth…’. With so many living hand to mouth in a country so wealthy, wherein millions feel helpless to invoke any real change, not really knowing all of the pertinent FACTS to begin with, by design I might add, we see more and more of them falling prey to the INTENTIONS of some real bad apples (Poster child= Koch Industries) and some equally bad actors (the UN-inspirational poster children of ‘not your grandfather’s GOP’ , currently running for the highest office in the land), barely surviving in the world of ‘capitalism gone CRAZY’, as “it” (ruling plutocrats at the moment) pits one group against another, all while raping and pillaging our land, air and water, while “it” thumps it’s collective chest and shouts out it’s endless demands via the puppets in Washington D.C. who offer up more nauseating ‘talking points’ (I’ll send ya the cleaning bill Mitch), cleverly designed to cover up that sacred mantra they have sold their soul for, over and over again, as well as the deeds that will not go unpunished… PROFIT OVER PEOPLE! If you want some proof as to the corporate stranglehold on the Light of the TRUTH, by way of poisonous offerings by say a FOX NEWS, or CNN for that matter, one only look as far as the coverage itself, as this movement begins it’s second month, starting from a whimper and growing to a LOUD ROAR, or lack of coverage as it were, for that will tell you all you need to know about the mind control the corporate owned airwaves truly have “employed” over a large chunk of the population, a population that continues to vote AGAINST it’s best interests. Stay tuned kids–it could get ugly, ‘coyote ugly’, isn’t that right Rick, “have you heard of 5 hour energy?”, Perry?–same bat time, same bat channel…and as you look out at the Washington Mall today, with the dedication ceremony scheduled for later on of a great man’s presence in granite form, thirty feet high, between the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, take a moment to remember what words and deeds are offered up here, ‘I have a dream…’, words we ALL can embrace. no? PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M
