Terrorist and Ye Olde Mafia Protection Racket

November 29, 2010


Have you noticed that it seems like there have been public busts of late of would be terrorist that wouldn't have had a clue if not for the entrapment , the stings that were set up ? The public statement afterword is that the US Government is sending a message to would be terrorist that if you try to bomb us we will get you. Sending messages is frivolous and like Emailing , there isn't always an answer .Generally , it seems like all the terrorist are consorting with the FBI . It makes me wonder why the FBI doesn't just go ahead and bomb some innocent people without waiting for another inept, would be , "could have blown"  to come along.Nixon now more than ever !

This is the same government that invaded Iraq as an aggressor nation in a "preemptive strike" against the threat of weapons of mass destruction that apparently didn't exist .The entire premise is faulted as we never invaded Korea who waves their atomic weaponry in our noses . It almost makes you sympathetic to the Iranian cause. The only thing that keeps America at bay is the threat of atomic weaponry or the unknown possibilities of violence. America hasn't blatantly invaded Pakistan in the name of getting Al Qaeda . No, America has become the bully , beating up those it can beat up . That is why people are blowing themselves up all over the world in desperation.


This is the same government that infiltrated the anti-war movement of the early seventies . This is the same government that spent unknown amounts of money to deport John Lennon as if he were a terrorist or advocating violence. The Kent State shootings were not in support of students or civil rights or a show of self control but nothing different than the Tienanmen Square Massacre by the Chinese Communist Government which put down a rebellion.Freedom of speech became a dangerous idea at Kent State in 1972 when the American National Guard opened fire on the students.At that time there were blatant outcries from super patriots that said , "They deserved to be shot." That was this government and is this government ,the same governing body which has continued a policy of "non- disclosure" of campaign funds since the Supreme Court second guessed the congress in January of 2010 and suggested that corporations have the same rights as individual citizens.


How can the people trust a governing body that continues to perpetrate lie after lie. Both the extreme right and the extreme left are more than disenchanted . Who is happy with the current policies? The only people being served are the extremely wealthy and this has been a consistent theme across both party lines. I can understand the frustration that has brought about the "Tea Party" while I don't agree them.There are things that we could come to agree upon but it doesn't appear to be anything the American voting public can do to stop this runaway train of partisanship which refuses to co-operate and do the right thing . Not one member of congress is attempting to work for the people . They spout words like "..What the American People Want IS.." but what they do is what they want .

   All the protecting in the name of the American people should be questioned by the American people. The public humiliation of people caught in "Stings" or forms of entrapment who are then put on the television news may not be people who were really threatening at all.Even writing this thought seems like a form of treason in this climate of lies and spins and media bites. Having doubts is a treasonable offense in a nation where we are supposed to have freedom of speech. Not only are the individual stations controlling the air waves and news bites but the current administration and both political parties are also directing their own slants. The entire concept of journalism has somehow escaped the United States.

It would seem that if the agencies that are protecting the people of the United States were doing their job correctly , they wouldn't have to broadcast their results in the manner of a Broadway Show or a political candidates campaign.The reality is that ,like NASA, the results have to be what is predicted or they are afraid of losing their budget . They support their budgets by producing results that are predicted and not by achieving actual results. This sham of "The tail wagging the dog" is not doing the job but pretending it has done the job . Meanwhile untold money is thrown down the government's expensive toilet ,supporting government jobs that should not exist anymore . How many people are working for the agencies ? How many agencies are there? How much money is in the current budget that goes toward this abstract protection ? It seems like the cost of the military, the drug enforcement , the National Security, and the Intelligence Agencies are all indefinable numbers .

I truly believe that the native born American terrorist is much more dangerous than some cartoon character that has been imagined to be part of Al Qaeda . If America loses the American credo, or even the belief in the possibility of freedom as it was promised here in America , then there will be no agency , no police force , and no governing body that will survive terror from within. Our basic premises must be adhered to as well as our aesthetic values and civil liberties even in the face of all threats from what ever possible source.

The police force of Afghanistan is worthless if our own American police force is corrupted . The possible governments of Iraq or Afghanistan are not our concern ,especially if our own government is out of the control of our own people. The American troops should be brought back to America . Every night there are reports of deaths in other countries but we rarely see the entire death rate of this entire country . What is reported to us locally is our local crime . The total crime of America dwarfs Iraq and Afghanistan . Why should we care about those countries at all? If this country is really so paranoid and obsessed with National Security , why doesn't the government enforce the laws here and stop pretending to enforce and support laws that are impossible to enforce in Iraq or Afghanistan or , for that matter , the entire Middle East .

I don't believe any of the "protective agencies" anymore,including the TSA , the CIA, the FBI, the DEA.. etc etc .This government is out of control and media "Spins" (Lies) have become what we expect as opposed to finding and facing the truth of what is happening here . We are separated ,polarized Democrats and Republicans, Black and White,rich and poor,we are left and right wings who are arguing as we all accept our characters and play our parts in the debacle we are witnessing,a play called "Greed and Power".This charade continues pretending to be for the protection of the American people ,similar to the flag waving lie that our American soldiers are fighting and dying today in Afghanistan to preserve freedom and the American way.The "Lame Duck" congress might well continue for another two years as congress votes in partisan blocks as they have for the last two years.Can there be any compromise ,cohesion,or agreement if we remain polarized and pointing fingers of blame at each other?


Speaking of terrorist ,let's not forget Paulson, Bernanke,and Geithner and their Great Bank Heist ,putting money back in banks that the banks had stolen and gambled away in a system unfettered by the regulations that had been put on banking and the market since the Great Depression.This unelected triumvirate of economic terrorist were also endorsed by Obama ,who took up where Bush left off enabling big money interest from off shore ,foreign banks,and businesses that cross the borders and boundaries of the ships of state to actually affect this Ship that is the State of America .The Bilderberger Group and the Tri Lateral Pact never pretended to be interested in preserving democracy but US Presidents usually get elected by spouting democratic Americanisms not openly paying off Wall Street and the financial institutes.Bush listened to Paulson before he left office and Obama kept Paulson .He either bought the whole cock and bull story or learned the truth as he continued with Bernake and Geithner,to promote an agenda that transcends party lines which has nothing to do with the welfare or the will of the American people . What happened to auditing the Federal Reserve? Where did the money go? Nobody will tell and they sometimes,like January 2010 ,they say they don't know. Our Congress endorsed bail outs for the very people who caused the economic crisis in the first place . The United States has been economically terrorized and there were no"Muslim Fundamentalist" involved .

 

Akh a Crock or a Fine MSH You Got Us In..

November 29, 2010

Messiah, the translation of the Old Testament Hebrew word pronounced maw-shakh ,meaning Anointed One , which when translated into the New Testament Greek is Christos.

The Egyptians saw the king as divine and as early as the Fourth Dynasty (27th century BC) the king was looked upon as the Son of Ra .The king was anointed ,not with oil but with the fat of the holy crocodile. This ancient Egyptian word for crocodile was MeSeH or msh ,as there were no vowels in ancient Egyptian or Hebrew. This wor...

Akh In Hell Continued

November 18, 2010

               There was a hell in ancient Egypt , too , way , way back as far as 8 to ten thousand years BC. We really see their gods as myths now but the main characters (gods) ,Isis, Osiris, and Set were an epic Greek myth-tragedy before there were Greek myths. Osiris was married to Isis and his brother,Set,was jealous.Set seems almost like a character out of an old time movie western with the guy twiddling his mustash and putting the heroine on the railroad track. Set attempted to kill Os...

"Akh in the Hell" ,Excerpts from My Comments on Intolerance

November 15, 2010











Pt 1

 

Intolerance seems to be built into the first commandment which is a trait of monotheistic religions that followed since Akhnaton ,( the father of Tut),decreed the very same commandment "Thou shalt have no other god before me,"except he substituted the "Aten" in place of all the other gods in the temples of Egypt.He enforced his theocratic monotheism under the threat of death with the might of the Egyptian army of his era.His preoccupation developing a cult that allowed him to do w...

Characters

July 24, 2010





I don't know why I thought of Danny Gatton this morning . Thinking of Danny made me think of Bruce Swaim .Going to "Club Soda" on a whim to visit Bruce when he happened to be playing with Danny was a surprise deal.Even then, when I drank alcohol,I rarely went out on my nights off. Bruce didn't seem like the kind of guy to play a character in Danny's act with the Fender guitar.On the other hand, he did play gigs with me that weren’t all jazz. I don't know , I can't remember all the gigs but ...

..and this guy did nothing...

May 17, 2010

                 Number one , regulate the banking industry and Wall Street as it was after the Great Depression.If the boat is filling up ,stop the water coming in! Two week ago , regulate the cut off valve , the protection against spills by the companies drilling off the coast . Stop the oil coming in! British Petroleum is working toward raking in the oil, not stopping the flow.Allowing the company to take care of the problem is unacceptable.There is no reason to believe that big capitalist...

Capitalist Art Directing Culture

January 24, 2010



    It has occurred to me that I used to have friends who listened to music . We all liked the "Waltz for Debby" live album from the Vanguard by Bill Evans when it came out . We were crazy about Coltrane and "Favorite Things" was nearly a pop tune to us but "Africa Brass " was just terrific . We didn't get high to listen to them or drink , we just liked it , we all liked it . Most of my friends in high school were older musicians but I did have some friends my own age and they also liked jazz...

Big Brother Riding the Gun

January 19, 2010
Trusting private enterprise to help the needy brings more corruption and the government seems to make the simplest items much more complicated. So what should we do ?We have just come through another era that will be looked back on as dirty with corruption. Last February instead of throwing billions of dollars to Wall Street and the banking industry , congress should have been re-regulating both Wall Street and US Banking the way that they were regulated after the crash of 1929 produced the g...

"Sticks" and the Color Organ Party

November 14, 2009


              When I left the band in 1965 and ended up in Texas I had no work for a long time . I took a place on the Colorado River with two other guys . One of the guys was a drummer and professor at the U of Texas, Austin, Sticks Whipple. Sticks was also the fencing champion at the University. Usually he was a quiet kind of guy with a good sense of humor but one night he drank a bit at our "Castle" and got pretty arrogant at a party we had there. Another  friend and me had put together wh...

These Are the Blues

October 31, 2009




    I responded to an article on Wynton Marsalis posted in "Facebook" by one of my "friends" there. I posted the first paragraph and then went back and deleted it . I realized that I don't know the "friend" very well at all. It occurred to me that I hire the man but he probably isn't really a friend ,especially as he posted an article titled"Racism and Greed have Put the Blues on the Back Street" ( or back pages ... I don't recall right now and I refuse to post a link to this bullshit) It was...
