Brave New World vs. Brave Old Realities

Editorial Medclinician  12/4/09

 

I was up late watching a kind of Black comedy jam series show on satellite T.V. Understand these are the days of the political landmines- i.e. despite the fact the comedians- everyone used the N word 500 times to a largely black audience with some nearly rolling in the aisles in the days of Neo Nazis and White Supremacists taking credit for a recent train bombing- what is humor if spoken by those of color is poison in the mouth of a WASP. Actually, I am not a WASP. Yet the mixture of Native American-whose country was stolen by foreign invader do not rate as a big potential presidential candidate. No, I think a lot of political truth was spoken by the comedians- everyone one of them persons of color who could to the backbeat of hip hop and rap to tell the truth.

 

A huge factor in the election of the president was color. It was not qualifications, and as one comedian I could care less about his policies or political ideas-it was time after hundreds of years to get a person of color into the presidency. It was really important we got a qualified person in the office, or one who could run the country effectively, or even had one decent solution to pantheon of problems left by the hang in effigy President Bush who left in almost Nixon disgrace. They would maybe even impeach him- but there was neither time nor any logical reason to do so in terms of effect.

 

So- and the jokes were funny in an I'm an old man trying to digest the subtleties of a Black culture I am neither a part of, do not live in downtown Chicago or New York- but at least currently in a small town in West Virginia- could not follow all the allusions to black now important people having risen from nowhere to lead our country.

 

Are they doing a good job? And of course the administration is appropriately diverse. As the comedian said- hey maybe next time we will get a good person of color who is qualified and able to run our nation.

 

This is not the administration which tolerates criticism. No actually even in the elections they were banning news groups, and covering up stories of massive implications. Example- we had the much – I didn’t inhale thing about Clinton- over his experiments with Marijuana in college.

 

Well- as I wear a gas mask and look out my window for low flying black helicopters- need we read the diary journals of experiences in the altered state which we completely banned from publication during the campaign.

 

Of course not. How about the fact that certain persons were raised and taught the Muslim faith and despite current Christian claims- has stated we no longer are a Christian nation.

 

 You realize as almost every president has come into power- the late night talk shows would have a laugh in with voice impersonations and ect.

 

You don't laugh at the current administration. You don't go near obvious and incredible blunders and an entire year- yes we are at a year of some of the worst policy and administration ever committed in a hundred years.

So, now having taken the tiger by the tail, I certainly could apply for a job working at Fox network, were I a bit for good looking, had a better hair piece, and maybe minus 30 pounds. Hey, I lost over 100- I could go on one of those exerciser commercials-before and after.

Yet, I am - now noted on a list- phone and computer monitored with probably many a spook comment- why should anyone care- going to continue on the vain and various media read what I put out and may or may not find a lot of basic truths.

The current administration is blowing it. And as in any relationship- whether a marriage or that of the president and the American people- while I have never been unfaithful to my wife, nope that will never be a Med the famous golfer had an affair item after the book hits- is on he rocks.

I think it is. And I think as in some of my relationships in earlier years, while actually succeeding quite well many times, the lets put this problem in the future and THEN we will really evaluate it an deal with it.

Sorry. With Iran nukes targeting Tel Aviv- with a jobless rate of over 10% and people screaming at decibels take that blasted health care reform package and lose it- what do we do?

Hey- seen any good spy movies lately? How about DIVERSION.

Yep- now scope this in- we are headed in a gruesome Pandemic- no joke. I keep tracking the virus and it is getting nastier and we are IN Third Wave. Course everyone wants to be the first to post the stories and carry the readerships to tens of thousands of reads- but economically, globally, and foreign policy- the decisions that have been made - suck.

Consider, this stand up comedy. Many readers already consider much of my posts incredibly amusing. So just consider this a monologue and flow with it.

The Emperor's new clothes. I love it You have this leader standing naked and no one has the anatomical apparatus to say- Sir- you are naked.

I am reminded of Captain Kirk on a bad day. Ever see Star Trek- when the captain gets two personalities. And keeps asking everybody- oh gosh- the Kingons are attacking Captain what do we do.

Well, Scotty (voice of Captain Kirk) what do you think. I don't know sir- there's a lot of them and the engine are about explode. Weren't Scotty's engines always about to explode. They won't go no more sir!

Well- lets get the guitar- light a campfire- invite a lot of Muslim extremists and say how would you like to stop making billions from Asia and Russia and quite developing a nuclear arsenal. First let's sing Kumbaya- toast marshmellows- and watch leave it to Beaver-

Point... and only the Med can tread this paths tha some find so hard to follow- but I have faith that the many intelligent people out there will-

Let us do something absolutely incompitent. Yep- that' right. Those grumpy old rich hate the poor people - the accountants of our nation keep saying - your runaway spending is going to kill us. Your plans don't work. You pleas that you have inherited nightmare problems and you have no clear path- and you don't to solve them and appealing to everyone for help is not helping- the current administration is.. a dud.

It is like telling the Woody Allen joke to the king after much laughter and he says something very uncool and the next views is a Woody Allen head near a wooden Allen body.

Every morning- call me 3 a.m. ***** - I mean after all- I did start the ..... thing- I watch the commentators and experts- generals, economists, scientists- saying what in the ..... are you guys doing?

And some whispers in the back- I know- lets have a couple wander into a dinner with a head of security person who has decided to a) cut the budget by letting the president shake hands with party crashers who could be OBL in other clothing and shaven- and really ruin the party in an explosive sense. Boom.

Head of national security looking distressed. Well, my this was an unfortunate oversight.

So... my rant for the week- I took a few days off as several of my medical friends head for the deep mountains and talk to me by satellite phone saying- anything on that spreading mutation Med. Yep- I see people trying to pick up the slack of my tracking- with dire spread of it in California.

Hey- its here. But nope- what is on the news.

Well we, have the golfer who was having an affair- and horrors of horrors- the admin is invoking executive privilege to explain why a woman- a very connected woman put on staff afer removing a not part of the party totally blew it by having no Secret Service guarding the President. Does this matter?

Well, a yes here. After all - despite the claims that there were tea parties (protests) over the admins policy across America (this stuff was very suppressed in main stream news like the word terrorist in reporting the psycho Muslim extremist officer- a solider of Allah) just doing his soldier of Allah thing. Did they have the common sense to monitor such a huge threat to security? Nope. Why?

Because these are the days of the war on terror is well- it gets confusing. Just like the President stated unlike Bush- who invoked executive privilege to protect details of national security- this one is to protect a total faux pas http://www.thefreedictionary.com/faux+pas
The appointment of the in crowd who are not qualified and totally blow national security while sipping champagne and oblivious to the safety of our President.

You realize- this is characteristic of the current administration.  The strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. Ever took the really unqualified and inexperience- i.e. a Sarah with a top selling book and a lust for the White House as subtle as a brick- and make them- a leader in a high position with huge power.

I respect Arnold, but you cannot take Conan the Barbarian, with connections at the highest levels to the Kennedies and expect him to save California as it spirals into economic chaos. I know I will live to regret that-because I have talked his staffers and we are trying to do something with energy- but somewhere in Santa Clara Valley (Silicon Valley) we decided to put people in power just because they were minority. We decided to put people into power postions who made horrific decisions and now we have not by popular choice- there were 105,000,000 Americans who voted non of the above- and Hilary (I always complain about this) was kicked out of the show- because of technicality of primary ettiquete.

So here's the deal.

We can't get China - who has just about stolen our labor market and Japan -who has stolen our car market - take a ride on the Reading to Detroit and you will see the corpse of the auto industry- hands out of the pockets of our politicians who are making big big deals (which are not making us big big jobs)

We are selling technolgy big time to China and actaully the Wall Street lineup- the ones who should be booked and jailed - are in the Bahamas playing at Atlantis

http://honeymoons.about.com/cs/bahamas/a/Atlantis_Resort.htm


As you watch your houses value, your job get wiped out, and our country jobless rate escalate- where is the economic stimulus money?

The big leader who cashed in and cashed out- and now are sipping Pina Coladas and guess what - are whipping up - Economic Stim Part 2-

Who will get it? Come on now.

What happened at the job summit? Did they ask the small business or anyone who could actually create JOBS? .gov cannot really create the jobs. They can only terrify the companies - to death by waving this god awful health plan so they won't have any idea how much it will cost to run their business and how many people to fire.

Is this any way to run an airlines?

Nope.

Error after error. And the mainstream can't touch it. The news can' say it. The Emperor's new clothes- well they don't fit America- and mostly because they- aren't.

A year had come and gone about.

Proclamation after proclamation which gives the appearance we are making progress.

What of change and the dreams of the tear streaked sign waving people? This is not Martin Luther King- this is not FDR- hat or not hat.

This is really really bad policy and really really bad decisions.

Congress agonizes. The Republicans keep say... no, no, no.. not tax and spend. They cringe at putting 7 trillon dollars of slush money into our capital which will give us a heroin money rush and then I need a fix because I am going down.

Money for nothing and your health care for free.

Dream on America. You are living in a coma.

Listen to those nasty crabby people like me. The doom and gloom bunch. You know what? We have solutions. We have ideas. They beg us for ideas. I posted- send the troops to our boys in Afghanistan. Hey- I have no influence- but they are sending them.
 
To what?

Talk to some generals and people in contact on the fighting there.

Statement- head of Homeland Security- we are seeing a new breed of infiltration of America by new young crazier than crazy extremists who are at point all over our country. They are blowing things up- or at least getting way closer all the time.

None of the policies being advanced now have real solid popular support. The solider in Afghanistan are excited because after being pulled in from their almost suicidal outposts- they may get their 30,000 (over a year)- they need them last week.

So that was the burst of reality in the middle of the fiasco of current policy and mega blunder that are really taking a hit on America.

There will be payback for broken dreams. And just being in power is not enough for minorities if it does not translate into a a help me check or jobs to feed their families.

Crazy- I have heard the word a lot. It doesn't apply to me. It applies to the current policies and programs being pushed which are going to create less jobs, push us into a depression, absolutely botch the handling the Pandemic- and

you know what- smell the hype.  We want to pollute the air and burn the ozone- the ice caps are melting- we release a BIG NASA COVERUP. Secret emails- it was all a false alarm.

I don't buy it. The Chinese talk about 2020 and maybe they will cleanup their emmisions.

I will take hits for this thread.

Its all over the non-mainstream. The mainstream can't print it or broadcast. They are told what to say and how loud to say it. They are owned. Transparency? Give me a break. LOL

We aren't.

Med, Obama didn't say that the way you're representing it. You tend to post a bunch of Fallacies. Some you make up and some come out of conspiracy sites. I would spend an hour to correct them all but I only have a few minutes. Maybe someone else has time to fix the rest and they are numerous in this one thread alone.

Removing just one word or removing paragraphs can alter our perception of what was really said. Conspiracy sites that Med reads altered the actual speech to fit their goals and Med fell for it.

Obama didn't say, "We are no longer are a Christian nation" as you quote it.

This is the actual Speech if you care to learn the truth.

We are a nation of many faiths and of those with no faith at all. The religious practices of all must be respected.

Given the increasing diversity of America's population, the dangers of sectarianism have never been greater. Whatever we once were, we are no longer just a Christian nation; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers. - Call to Renewal Keynote Address. The way it was meant to be delivered:
http://www.barackobama.com/pdf/ObamaonFaith.pdf

That quote appears also on Obama's campaign Web site. Unfortunately for Obama, he stumbled just a bit when he delivered the actual quote, as can be seen in this video of his speech, posted on YouTube by the Obama campaign. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35sGJrWKcmY&feature=related

The way it actually came out was:
Obama, June 28, 2006 (as delivered): Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation at least, not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.

That wasn't as smoothly stated as he had intended, but the meaning remains clear to any reasonable person. Saying that the U.S. is not "just" a Christian nation carries the sense that it is both a Christian nation and more: a nation of Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and nonbelievers as well. Furthermore, any survey of religious beliefs held by Americans will show that to be a factually correct statement.

However, what the authors of this and similar mass e-mails have chosen to omit is the word "just," converting Obama's factual description of America's diversity of religious beliefs to a statement that some interpret as anti-Christian.

One other Note:

LA Times November 24, 2009
What do scientists think about religion?

-snip-

Given that scientists are much less likely than the general public to believe in God, it's not surprising that the percentage who are affiliated with a particular religion is also lower. Nearly half of U.S. scientists say they have no religious affiliation -- describing themselves as atheist, agnostic or nothing in particular -- compared with 17% of all Americans.

-snip-

And the public does not share scientists' certainty about evolution. While 87% of scientists say that life evolved over time due to natural processes, only 32% of the public believes this to be true, according to a different Pew poll earlier this year.

Many Americans Mix Multiple Faiths
Eastern, New Age Beliefs Widespread
 
Dec. 9, 2009
 

The religious beliefs and practices of Americans do not fit neatly into conventional categories. A new poll by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life finds that large numbers of Americans engage in multiple religious practices, mixing elements of diverse traditions. Many say they attend worship services of more than one faith or denomination -- even when they are not traveling or going to special events like weddings and funerals. Many also blend Christianity with Eastern or New Age beliefs such as reincarnation, astrology and the presence of spiritual energy in physical objects. And sizeable minorities of all major U.S. religious groups say they have experienced supernatural phenomena, such as being in touch with the dead or with ghosts.

One-third of Americans (35%) say they regularly (9%) or occasionally (26%) attend religious services at more than one place, and most of these (24% of the public overall) indicate that they sometimes attend religious services of a faith different from their own. Aside from when they are traveling and special events like weddings and funerals, three-in-ten Protestants attend services outside their own denomination, and one-fifth of Catholics say they sometimes attend non-Catholic services.

Though the U.S. is an overwhelmingly Christian country, significant minorities profess belief in a variety of Eastern or New Age beliefs. For instance, 24% of the public overall and 22% of Christians say they believe in reincarnation -- that people will be reborn in this world again and again. And similar numbers (25% of the public overall, 23% of Christians) believe in astrology. Nearly three-in-ten Americans say they have felt in touch with someone who has already died, almost one-in-five say they have seen or been in the presence of ghosts, and 15% have consulted a fortuneteller or a psychic.
 
==========================================================
 
Americans are increasingly searching for spirituality that more accurately represents their beliefs.  And although the United States is still considered a nation based upon Christianity and even freedom from religion...the American people are decreasingly primarily Christian-oriented.
==========================================================
 
Oh, and MED...your latest 3-part rant seems to confirm my belief that you are still crazier than a wharf rat.   I only hope that people here will see through your consipiracy-filled theories.
 
Are you sure you aren't Art Bell?  You and Mr. Bell should team up on his late-night radio show...together you two can fill the night air with  endless stories on UFO abductions, Area 51 alien-human genetic experiments, US government-military complex programs to kill off the elderly, etc. -- thereby, providing thousands of insomniacs, night-owl consipiracy freaks, and street walkers with entertainment for their sponge-like minds to absorb.

I do not want to tell anyone what to believe in, BUT there is a God and an anti-christ. Now I know for a fact the pres is not God soooooooo. And anyone who listens and believes everything they hear/read really needs to sit back and absorb it all. I am not a night-owl conspiracy freak but have common sense. I do believe in the Bible and as I say this I am reiminded of how many believe in nothing but negative rants. I will get some hits telling me off but somewhere out there there are people like me. Thank God I never went to college with the left wing thinkers. I travel alone and make up my own mind. I do not need anyone telling me what I should believe so just save it for other ears.
Is anybody out there
