To be somewhat 'politically correct' I begin with what is today referred to as 'Media Consolidation or Consolidated Media'; mostly acknowledged as 'news with a spin' or a biased focus. For example, 'news channels' brought up the 'spin' of the 'Obama Girls', but, did not bother to speak about the 'Goldwater Girls', as Ms. Clinton was once a Goldwater Girl; 'unconscious racism' or what? Their 'intent and motive' is to mislead and cause misunderstanding among the 'citizens, constituents, and consumers; 'the American people'. But, apparently the 'perpetuators' of such 'enterprises' need to read the text "Theology"; from the belly of the whale; by Frederick Herzog; in the media's bias on Rev.Wright's mention of 'Black liberation theology', the media failed to mention that there is 'Latin liberation theology, 'Southern Baptist liberation theology', and 'European liberation theology'. Our 'path of pleasure' eventually leads to distraction from 'Spiritual growth', as the 'manifestation' of 'growth and maturity' gives way to being 'called and chosen' from Spirit, as the soul matures, and it is not a fantasy where everything falls into place, nor, is it taken care of without effort, for, it is the integration of two realities, or let one go. Our sojourn, with emotion and motion, is heartfelt and hurtful, as we seek love, yet, fear the loss of self in a close relationship, as this particular adversity make us push and fight for a love-centered relationship in a self-centered world, because, someone is quietly in our corner encouraging and encompassing a love, for all, via compassion, patience and selflessness; wisdom forsees what we have 'set loose', because, of our 'immaturity and ignorance'. "Some lessons cannot be taught, as some lessons must be lived, and if I should live another day I pray the Lord, He guide my way".
I am a Vietnam combat veteran, and I joined the Army on 11-07-1965, in downtown 'cowtown'. After passing the 'enlistment tests', all categories, the recruiting sergeant, who signed my DD-214, indicated that he was out of the 'official' contract forms, yet, by us signing notebook paper, it was still a contract; upon arriving at 'Tiger Land', Ft. Polk, Louisiana, another Armed Forces representative took that piece of paper and stated, "this is an example of being 'shafted' by the Army", and threw it in a barrel; I went after it, supposedly, disobeying a direct order to "take a seat"; I was not allowed to retrieve that piece of paper, my 'enlistment contract', thus, my civil rights, my human rights, and my Constitutional Rights were bellicosely, nefariously, and blatantly violated. And now I am expected to fight for my country!? I did, ( George 'W' Bu$h did not) yet, I am thankful God did not allow me to die for this country, as this 'rep', of the Armed Forces, did what he did, he did in the 'spirit of Jim Crow and $egregation', as well as the Civil Rights Movement. So, I fully understand, over understand, and can discern what Reverend Wright has said. And I, too, believe that 9-11 was an inside job, as Bu$h Jr. was, at that time, a 'rebel without a cause'! Now, he has 'the war on terror', but, all was about the 'War on Poverty', as in the civil rights movement, human rights, and Constitutional rights. Even before Bush Sr. was president, there was Mr. R. Nixon's 'war on communism', then came the Reagan/Bush Sr.'s 'war on drugs', 'here and now', the 'war on terror', yet, not one of these 'commanders-in-chief' have ever taken up the challenge of the War on Poverty. WHY? Today, 'here and now', is a day to begin progress, if and when, you, I, we do not let fear get in the way, through a 'fiery realm', which is our sojourn to overcome division, divisiveness resulting in unity to victory, collectively, and in the 'spirit of miscegenation'. For, it is here that we encounter an 'axis of ignorance' which does not give rise to empathy, compassion, and a sense of fairness (we have been down this way before via $lavery, The Recon$truction, the Holocau$t, $upreme Court rulings against Civil Rights,Human Rights, and Constitutional Rights, 'new age,new world order technology', and The Abrogation of The War On Poverty!!!).
No extended funds for the GI Bill and the present members of the Armed Forces, because, according to the 'present administration incumbency', they have said it is much too expen$ive?! Maybe, its because the HAWK$ and DOVE$ are in a 'state of denial' which comes from a 'state of indecision' which has created a 'paranormal state' in which "the sins of the father are visited on the children of men", i.e. the Israeli-Palenstinian conflict, any 'regime change' in the Middle Ea$t, etc.; which brings in the '$tate of the Union'; the U.S. Air Force giving France/Europe a 'military contract' which denies American citizens, consumers,and constituents from doing that work in the United States, and many American citizens are 'channeled' into the 'military-industrial complex and the Prison-Industrial Complex', where 'traditional' 'crimes of the heart', such as, 30 years of lynching, Jim Crow, and Segregation which have been perpetuated since, the movie, 'Birth of a Nation', has put us in a 'timeless state of grace' where there is doubt, shame, anger, and grief, and consistent social terrorism via the 'politics of fear'.
We must refrain from absorbing negative attitudes from anyone who is 'wallowing in any kind of pity', and remain optimistic in the 'force of depressing' ideas. For example, the 'consolidated media' brought up the 'Obama Girls'; and some other 'insignificant girls', yet, why didn't they reach into the 'archives', and show the 'Goldwater Girls', as Ms. Hilary Clinton was one, for, there was 'Goldwater this and Goldwater that', and so on and so on! But, above and beyond 'this and that' you, I, we are consciously on the way home in a Spiritual sense, because, by His Grace and Mercy, we notice and appreciate the 'sychronicities' which are transcending character, personality, family, community, and reputation. The Spirit is like a 'serious mood' which washes over us, yet, this is not the end of the fun, since, the aimof our intentions is with consciousness which releases us into a 'realm of freedom from inner conflicts', miscegenation, and the 'gifts' of past incarnations have come through a 'collective' I Am; similar to 'it takes a village', and converts an 'unexpressed feeling' into a 'passionate action'. This is an opportunity for each citizen, consumer, constituent to penetrate their individual 'inner' life to validate our commitment to change and truth, and to do what is right, as we express our power in the process, for all who stand for truth and fairness, this is the time for Spiritual realization, rather than anything negative and non-spiritual. Our society is in a deep 'state of sensitivity and imaginative impressionability' when it comes to 'race' that was developed within a 'womb of deep denial'. Each day the American people choose to do the 'right thing', as we experience this present 'Wheel of Darkness'. This is an opportunity for each citizen to overcome 'illusion', and the 'Lords of Illusion', the bi-partisanship of this present administration (and past administrations).
In my travels I have experienced and witnessed that most 'juvenile' Caucasian males, who happen to get in trouble with the law, were given a 'chance'; if that, yet, whether or not, chance was not accepted, the White juvenile's record was 'expunged', and most times, automatically. The Black juvenile males, even if it was their first time for such a circumstance, were taken into 'custody', and at the 'discretion' of the prosecutor they are charged, but, their record is not, or hardly ever expunged, because they are 'targeted' to be 'sifted, tracked, marginalized, and eventually disenfranchised'; thus, 'labeled and stereotyped' at an earlier age. And now, 40 to 50 years later, we are still hesitant and reluctant to dialogue, sincerely, for and with, Race In America!!! Bolts of awareness suggest that it is a good time to be philosophical, to study, and to meditate about ways all Americans can contribute to this effort, since, only those who possess wisdom, patience, and optimism will be able to see through the 'social' limitations for this change and discipline. Bu$h Jr. and the Republic of Cheney have given the American people No Education, No Healthcare, No Affordable Housing, No American Dream for the citizens, consumers, and constituents who are drowning in debt, 'bi-partisan exploitation' at its finest from the 'present and vice presidents. In spite of this 'dual' contrary 'state of consciousness' we 'grow and mature' collectively, which reflects the higher truths of our inner Spiritual nature and, manifests powerful catylsts for more growth, maturity, and creative positive change. Since, it is not by 'chance', but, by 'design' that the 'present administration' okayed the so-called 'economic stimulus payment', for it is given to those whose income is, at least, $3,000.00 or more per month, yet, those who truly need the money and would probably spend it on the 'very things' this admini$tration has cut out of the budget, and possibly because most of the 'needy American people' do not have or drive SUVs or other gas guzzling automobiles; we are in a 'Rece$$ion'; woe unto us! 'Honesty is not synonymous with the Truth, for, knowledge and its proper use wins battles, so, we, the American people, must cultivate the heart, the mentality, and the attitude of a warrior, because, any unrighteousness is a sin!'
