Service Causulties

This is real news, about service people doing the bidding of our country and . . . it's sad news.

We are in the middle of a difficult situation where . . . is about to happen and . . . we don't have liberty to say if we did know, which I do not. And thus, if you have to deal with a wartime stance, and you want to pretend that it isn't, you have protestors and lawyers being forward. As it should be. We can't let people rot in airports, or be detained when they are not criminals. If someone can vouch for them, then it all ought to be OK. However, all this protesting about the blackout period before the new vetting rules seems like a lot of wasted effort and political grandstanding by people who should realize that, really, despite what you want to believe, this is wartime in most of the world. It's the world war that the power-propaganda pretends isn't happening. Why can't anyone just come from Yemen whenever they want to? Because there is a war and it doesn't make sense to leave the situation the way it was when we had an administration that was aiding and abetting just their friends, and not trying to solve the problems becuase they hadn't colored in enough 'Springs' yet with their false cause political collectivism that they name after one of the worlds's great religous populations, an act of false association.

If you have the ware-withall to buy an international ticket from Cairo, a place that is not in the war zone, then you probably aren't in that difficult a situation. Cairo is nice, Eygptians are hospitable and cosmopolitan and pretty much invented the idea of 'come one, come all'. We have a nile river here, of sorts, called "The Hudson". It's a very very welcoming place. And we applaud that. We aren't shutting our doors forever. It's a transitional part of our governmental cycle. And we need to rework the methodologies of vetting our friends. In the meantime, if you want to be our guests, then you'd be patient and go along with the situation because we don't know what the big plans are.

A real general doesn't release the big plans to the world so that the spooky-guys of the world have a significant advantage. There are those who fancy theymselves as some kinds of kings of the realm, with too much power and influence they fund the agitators, feeding them BS, and trying to make it all seem like some kind of rock-fest at the federal-hall. Listen, we have a lot better ways to get out ideas now aadays, which is what protesting is supposed to do. Anything more than that and it's a rock-fest? A festival? A carnival?

If it's a carnival, or a festival, then we ought to expect fesival rules. That means that we don't block and accost people. Please don't block the sidewalks. Do not block the highways. And, as well, please don't, do not, chant along with the megaphone guy. Have something real to say. If you have 30 seconds of airtime you don't want to give the same message 7 times.

Have a real message, and don't be impolite to strangers

Have something real to say and people will listen. If you have good ideas they will follow along with your logic. And if you make some mistakes in your presentation, they might point them out, and coach you on how to be more precise, so you don't make it sound like you don't know what you are talking about, when you really do.

Chill for a while.

America is like a block party that got out of control. Suddenly everyone in the town wants to crash it. So the MC says. 'The service guys (gals and others) at the Fire Inspectors office (Fire Marshall Bill?) says that this party has gotten a little bit out of control. We need to stop letting people in for a while, till things cool down a bit.

If you have a reason to be there, then you might have a way in if it's allowed. But safety first.

The Big Plans

We don't know what the big plans are.

You don't second guess the master physician in the middle of surgery. The Trump team is working things, and they have some necessary things that have to happen.

H1B changes?

H1B poaches the best people from other countries, to the detriment of those here, for the purposes of cut-rate engineering. It is a boon to the re-billers of the cost-plus industries.

Unite against the tyranny of
        yourself
     and divide your
           flaws into 
   manageable chunks of
     self improvement.

now not here.

2017

 
 These duds, these clunkers. 
 They drop from the shelf
 and give out a carefree vibe as they shatter.
 

If I pretend to be an illegal foreigner can
I came and stay too?
If I do stay
in Scully Square
at Marty's Hostel,
will he put a mint
on my pillow?
Can I have take-out
sent to my room?

   a Buddha statue of that man, doesn't suit him. 
They dress him in their own hard stone
 and try to steal his brilliance from the world
 and to bully in a world of their own hegemony,
   the divided country behind them as a cleaved stone mountain,
 a crass attempt to destroy the symbols of the great man's oration.
 A Buddha statue of that man, doesn't suit him.
He is dress in their indignation
from their lack of understanding
of what he really meant
when he meant what he said.

And he did mean it. 

You have to undress him then,
and see him as naked and afraid
and understand that he was actually a man.
not a chess piece monolith.

So if you make chess-piece monoliths,
and put them in a park,
chess pieces are made to be moved. 
Parks can be used to model the backdrop
of videogame levels . . . 
where the stones and statues 
can often be rolled or moved somehow
to perhaps solve a puzzle.

So roll that stone backwards
and fill in the gap
and make that monolith less loathsome.

In essence of form? what does that mean anyway?

Political and Media Inanity

Kafka wrote comedy. Orwell was a pessimist. Depends who you ask.

Imagine if they both could have lived and made it to Los Angeles, post war, and been collaborators on writing romantic screwball comedies for Hollywood. If we search IMDB for movies written by Kafka, or by Orwell, will we find one? I kind of doubt it.

Truck-u-later

in this column Truck-u-later steps in deeper . . .

The story is that the 'ban' was something thought up by the last administration, and the current one is using it. It makes sense to have a small period while the new vetting methods perfect.

Trump-zilla

The kaiju (strange creature) who the protestors imagine

Necessary measures proceed. Some people, without thought, knee-jerk protest against Trump's every breath. They make him into Trumpzilla, he's the strange creature who always fights for the right and the just. But . . .they see him as a villain, which he is not.

Jan 29, 2017

from The Japanese
kaiju : strange creature
kaijin : strange creatures

Both Mothra and Godzilla were kaijin.

Give us back our egg.

The demcracy twins say:
"give us back our democracy."

the usurpers say:
"how dare you usurp our usurpation!"

some one shouts:
"Liberty does not wear a veil"

The giant statue starts lumbering, like
a huge Olmec Head chess piece, 
or giant Gallapagous sculpture, 
animated,
across the scene.

Maybe you should not drink
the protest kwel-aide

"but it tastes so good!" they cry.

Gathering together is holy effort.
A protest? It is always part that,
but the other part?
Do you have a point and something to say?
If not then shutt it up till you do.

And old proverb (I believe it's listed as being Chinese,
Those who say do not know. Those who know do not say.

I say I don't know,
but I do know what I don't say.
And I try to say what I might know,
but as a form of entertainment,
and a way for me to channel out my urges.
In that sense a blog, a speculative
writing project, like this one,
is a conjecture factory of snark and
possiblity hopefully 
to open up the gates that
block the water from getting to
the thirsty minds,
starving for acceptance and
affection
within the scrum.
And the protestor megaphone guy
has them all chantting nonsense.
But at least it's warm
all huddled together in the rain
even if they don't know what the cause is.
Its a free bus ride.
It's a meal.
It's some pretty colored drink.
Drink up.

Hell no, we don't know
we are here and we won't go.

Jingo sings the jingo dove
the road to hell is paved with love

Megaphone jones 
and his false cause indignation
makes them all feel so loved.

There is nothing heroic
in chanting along
with an idiot.


the false cause chorus
is so much fun
I'm in love 
with every one
and I don't care what they say
I go along for the ride
anyway.
If it's free
it's me
I'm who I am
not who I be.

The flip side of all this?

There are times when real protest is necessary, when someone finally points out "the emperor has no clothes." Donald Trump became the spokesman for very many people who were tired of the shameless nature of the naked emperors of this world destroying the social order and cretaing refugee situations, and poaching all the smart people, and driving nations into insolvency, and false cause mongering, and pitting Muslims against Jews against Christians, when most of them agree about most things: we want peace. We do not want war. We want friendship. We do not want shotgun marriage of all nations under the banner of false-cause aristocratically minded posers of the old-order who conform to the stuff they were fed in the cradle, a supremicism of position and station without regard for the other nations of hte world: special citizen diplomat class needs to not exist. No special citizens. No cut-sies in the line. (wait your turn if you want to come to America).

If you are a true believing liberal protestor, then may God Bless you and sustain you and give you wisdom. You might not like what you find out about the people who enable your protests. Some of them might have dark-hearted ulterior political motives that are illconcerned with your actual well-being. You will be the strongest to oppose them when you get older and start to understand all of their cartel bullssshhtt. Dare not speak of it much, it's better to realize that it's all of your imagination, and that is all you cn ever really say it is, or a 'writing project'. Becuase we can not ever give someone a molded piece of pudding, and then tell them "Here, now, make this your whole world." False-cause false-charity is just like that: a molded piece of something that, while it's pretty and all, it ignores the reality of the world, and the necessary things that people need for a children's story quality narrative about the world that draws cartoon cause people and then animates them in battle. But they like to see it acted out on the street, and they hope to 'effect change' for the 'betterment' of . . . and you never really get a clear agenda, but just a lot of indignation if you start mentioning facts that they don't want to hear, or disagree with the most deeply rooted false-cause agenda that they worship as a life-cause. They are actually quite sad, after all , aren't they? And thank God that they don't really exist and that no one is really like that. But they are like the square-root of negative one. Even though they are imaginary, the use of the concept helps us to understand the way that things work in the real world. The real world, in this case, referes to the psychology of the fully hypnotized young-mind who is chanting along with the mega-phone guy who is paid to be there.

get to the flipside!

The flip side is when the cause is just, like Prague 1968. Everyone gathers and it really is holy. The Russian boys are there in their tanks, and the citizens of Prague just beam love at them. But beaming love is telling them truth of what actually happened and not letting them have their way.

The love wave that the Czech and Slovaks beamed off to the Politburo in Moscow took another 25 years, or so, to take effect. Eventually the tyranny dissipated but . . . from the vacuum of things flowed in from outside. A cliche: power abhors a vacuum.

If it's a situation like in Prague, 1968, we will all be there too. But we are going to keep it non-violent like the Czech did, and also like Martin (MLK) would have wanted. We are not at that kind of critical place where the Prague style protests are necessary or useful. Current protests against sane implementation of new policy just wastes the good will of the population, and exploits those impressionable youngsters who want to be part of a just and righteous cause.

The problem would be if I'm wrong? If there is villainy afoot? But the fact is it is only a week in to the new administration, and we all should expect that our new president is going to do things that he said he would. He is not a villain, so I am not worried.

People shouldn't worry either. Why worry? You know that the good will of America has always extended to the whole world.

I'm sure whatever new vetting process arrives for our guests, the president and his people will be most concerned with that not being a tyranny. If the cause is cheaper engineering for the corruptocracy of the tech industry: isn't it time that engineer's salaries were raised? We ought to stop poaching the brightest people. And other nations should be happy if we stop. That way they can task their smartest people to help with the difficult problems of the day. Let these brightest show up as diplomats and sage politicians on an international mission of good will, not as wage-slave scabs for the profiteers in the human-services re-billing industry.

  Praise     Praise     Praise
   the        the        the
   Lord       Lord       Lord
  for his    for his    for his
 unfailing  unfailing  unfailing
   love!      love!      love!
