There used to be a fun David Frost show on TV in the 60's called "That Was the Week That Was" TW3 This week in particular feels like a TW3 episode as my mind takes in sound bites, chews on them, and I now I get to spit them out. Incoming! The late night talk shows do it daily, and SNL does it weekly, but I can't stay up 'til 11:30 pm anymore without 2 cups of coffee which of course makes sleeping impossible and then I am recovering for a week from missing my regular senior rest.
The Congressman's privates, the former Alaska Governor's ignorance (Sarah's vacation from history) and the intensity of solar flares strongly influence our space. They produce streams of highly energetic particles in the "coronal mass ejection". These particles impact the Earth's atmosphere and present radiation hazards to anyone caught space-walking.
That last paragraph makes me laugh; and pisses me off at the same time. The fallout from the ridiculously comical acts of elected officials, counter posed to the real dangers presented by natural forces, is the stuff of our times. What is really important, and should ultimately worry us, is not the passing shock bites of the histrionics of a never ending stream of egotistical politicians, but the colossal strength of the Sun, the tidal influences of the moon, the ever shifting plates under our feet, rogue comets, and ginormous weather lows and highs crashing into each other all over the globe.
If you've heard about the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), you know there are some incredible conspiracy theories flying around the internets about its power. How about chem trails? With no intention of spreading rumors, or in any way supporting the accuracy of these radical possibilities ……. the relevance here is that this is part of the debate that exists in the world of 2011 where much of what we can find in cyber-space leaves more questions than answers.

Speaking of questions and answers, is anybody else wondering who will be the new leadership in Egypt and Yemen? What are the behind-the-scenes reasons for America's military involvement in the overthrow of Dictators we originally supported and have financed to the tune of billions of dollars for 30 - 40 years? Why is America pouring billions more of our tax dollars into Afghanistan and Pakistan?
Is their a master plan? Is there an end game that truly forges a path to more freedom and opportunities for the suppressed people in the countries we are "helping"? Or are we repeating history by forcing out a Dictator, a fanatical, wealthy, gruel old man, to be eventually replaced by someone who agrees at first to trade our support for his power hungry cooperation? In this "Arab Spring" we a certainly helping to create leadership vacuums that any reasonable observer notes might ultimately be an opportunity for organized terrorist groups to fill.

What the hell is going on? Who the hell is in charge? Sometimes I get into the conversation with friends about the thousand year old theory that there is a secret society of families that have been acting as puppeteers behind the scenes for their own amusement and financial gain. The far-fetched possibility that for centuries a small group of very wealthy, smart, disciplined, segment of humans has "allowed" this course of history to unfold with a ultimate plan to create enough chaos that billions would spread across the globe in a dysfunctional assembly of nations and religions to ultimately perish in some cataclysmic event?
I read no history and have seen nothing in my lifetime that rationally tells me that this is possible. What I see and conclude is the very scary and disheartening reality that since humans have been in control of the animal kingdom, throughout the generations a certain percentage of people are con artists, liars, and ego-maniacal folks who openly manipulate, contradict, and shamefully take advantage of the masses for the own gain and power hungry pleasure.

As I've said before many times, don't expect too much from a life form that can't even see fairies!
ReplyDeleteOn the Travel Channel, we've seen a show about researching ghosts and spirits, trapped in time in the in-between, often "appearing", communicating and spooking the living. There are many forms of life energy and many beliefs, real and imagined. The fun part is that some of us have run into each other along the way and can maintain our bond through the expression and "winks" about our truths, observations, and have the desire to say a word or two for the benefit of Mr. Kite. There will be a show tonight on trampoline. The Hendersons will all be there ...... and a splendid time is guaranteed for all ...........
ReplyDeleteand tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill !
