Is the United States Heading Toward a Race War?

There has been a bad retaliation shooting incident in Dallas.  It occurred around nine o clock last night.  There was this Black sniper who gunned down five Dallas police officers and wounded six more.  The streets were a regular shooting gallery.  A Black Lives Matters protest was going on at the time and Black people were running for cover when the bullets flew.  This shooter, who may have had assistants, was a regular Rambo and they couldn’t seem to kill him.  The stand-off seemed to go on for hours.  Then he was in this underground garage and knowing they couldn’t get him with bullets they planted a bomb in the garage and killed him that way.  Paul Ryan's response was to pull an anti-gun bill at the last minute that had been scheduled for today.  The President made another speech and campaign activities have been suspended.  Except Congressman Joe Walsh apparently made a threat against the President.  I just hope Donald Trump doesn’t make any statements because he will make it worse.  It’s like we have a full fledged race war on our hands now after the two shooting incidents of the previous two days.  It's strengthens the argument that we must militarize the police department even up to using bombs on suspects.  We all need to pray for peace.  Because it doesn’t take much imagination to see how we could evolve into some locked down police state no matter whether it’s Donald or Hillary who wins.  This Black guy is deranged and when unstable individuals hear bad news they act in disturbing ways.  It’s like evil is a force out there with a will of its own and it’s just like it’s looking for a human instrument to work out its evil intents.   But the republicans don’t want to have hearings on gun control legislation, but instead want to investigate John Lewis and the other demonstrators who participated in that ‘sit in” a couple of weeks ago. And the thing is they’ll be going on another long vacation in a few weeks.  We have one week to go before the Republican convention and two weeks before the Democratic one.  One wonders to what extent “Law and Order” speeches will dominate both weeks.  We all need to pray for sanity and calm. 

The ABC network news was a little biased in the way they edited the FBI chief’s remarks to congress yesterday.  I watched a big chunk of it.  They picked the most resolute remarks of the FBI chief saying Hillary was not guilty, but failed to include scenes where Republican congressmen dismantled the FBI chief’s arguments by pointing out case after case where Hillary either lied or concealed her actions and did things which were expressly forbidden under the law.  If they ever decided that people exercising gross negligence weren’t really guilty because they lacked “specific intent” we’d have to let a lot of people out of jail.  Like I say if you get drunk and get in a car and kill someone in a head-on collision you had no specific intent to kill that specific driver in that particular car.  But your general intent was to have complete disregard of any safety precautions.  The trouble is- - now they want to “refer” another investigation to the FBI because Hillary lied to congress in the Bengazi hearings.  And the State Department itself is going to investigate the same E mail events.  There comes a point of diminishing returns here where going after her becomes pointless and too political.  Yes I believe the fix was in but that’s just the way things are.  Hillary is getting off Scott free and you can’t do anything about it. 

On the Rush Limbaugh program a couple of days ago Rush was saying that there is so little evidence of global warming over the past twenty years that it's non existent and- - - if anything there is evidence of global cooling since 1998.  Republicans have been camping on this 1998 year for a decade now as the all time hottest year.  So according to Rush they are going back-- not just to "climate change" but actual "Global cooling" and in the coning months you're going to hear cries of "Global Cooling" as the next big threat.  Rush says "They won't just let the status quo be but they always have to keep us agitated with Something".

Watching the news yesterday they bring up other shooting events such as a nineteen year old white guy who was gunned down by a cop in Fresno or something a month ago.  I think it’s disturbing that they conthiscate video evidence like the Chicago PD and the Burger King surveillance camera video, and in Wednesday’s case you had the Quickie Mart video where they don’t have a warrant or anything.  The Burger King video was returned with a 65 minute gap in the recording, which would have covered that suspect that was trying to run from the cops and got gunned down.  The two latest incidents you have people who were on the ground and never drew their weapons and were still shot.  In the case of Minisota the man was ordered to get his identification and while obeying the officer as his girlfriend explained he had a gun permit- - the boyfriend is shot and later dies.  The problem is you might ignore Wednesday’s and Thursday’s officer shootings of suspects, but when the other side fights back- - then you have troubles. 

 Last night I had a dream I was in Hamburg, Germany and they were getting ready to do a movie on the early days of the Beatles.  In addition to the usuals such as Stu, and Klaus Voorman and Astrid, there were two people I never heard of who were also former members of the band named Jeff and Chewy or something.  Me and Paul (my brother) were picked to play the parts of these two mystery band members, so we got in wardrobe and were hired.  In addition to our pay we got certain limited free food and all the beer we could drink.  There were signs in this giant indoor mall that had a black roof.  The thing is all the signs were in English rather than German except for the occasional odd English word.  There was the free food section and the pay for food section.  There was also some Wheel of Fortune type thing of photos of men’s and women’s faces and the wheel below this were various men’s and woman’s sex organs and you had to match the sex organ with the face.  At any rate we finished the production and it came out OK.  Then Mom and Dad came by to pick us up (?) and I’m not sure how young we were but they yelled at me for drinking beer and being in a degenerate environment. 

FBI Clears Hillary of Wrongdoing

The FBI failed to recommend any charges being filed against Hillary Clinton for what they are calling “E-gazi”.  Last week congress exhonerated Hillary on Bengazi and today the other shoe has dropped giving Hillary Clinton a much clearer horizon ahead.  FBI chief James Comee listed the many offences against the law that Hillary did and concluded that none of it rose to the level of an indictable crime.  Hillary was extremely careless and negligent in handling her E mails.  Hillary lied about only having one phone device.  She also lied saying she only had one server or one administrator.   She had at least three and when one would be decomisionned apparently the loose E mails would be scattered on the ground like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, and the FBI reassembled all these pieces.  Hillary’s negligence put foreign agents in danger.  Hillary also lied about never sending E mails that were classified at the time.  It so happens there were a hundred and ten such E mails that were classified as sensitive or top security at the time.  There were another two thousand E mails that were classified as classified afterwards.  Shawn Hannity covered this topic extensively over the noon hour.  Hillary has lied about so many things.  Now that she’s gotten off the charges, the banana peel is taken away from her foot, she is celebrating by campaigning with President Obama today as though nothing were ever wrong. 

I know the movie Ferenheit 911 has already been made.  I want to make my movie different with for the most part a strict dramatization of events with alias names.  For instance Rush Limbaugh will go by his old alias of Jeff Christie.  Al Gore will not be Alvin Garret.  Dick Chaney will be Chad Henderson.  What I want to do is to subdivide "Part One", which will go all the way up to early 2006 extending the time-line another sixteen months or so.  This will cover the meat of what George Bush did wrong in office.  It's almost as though this movie had been actually made in 2006.   The point is of course that it could have been, but the events discussed in this movie are still relevant and haven't been dealt with.  Go check the previous posting below this one for the rest of the content of the movie.  Here are a bunch of fresh scenes I want to incorporate.  Rush Limbaugh endorses George Bush as "the conservative candidate" even though Pat Buchannon is running against him and has better positions on trade and the economic health of the nation than does Bush.  Put someone like Me in the scene who remarks that he's not sure Bush can be a real born again Christian because he's from a rich family and they do everything for show anyhow.  And the others in the room generally agree with me.  Of course Rush has connections to the Bush Crime family.  On September 11th itself we sure want to put in the scene where the President is in Serasota Florida reading "My Pet Goat" to a second grade class.  President Bush was already informed of the first attack and brushed it off.  Then when news of the second building being hit- - he is told more explicitly "Mr President, the nation is under attack" and continues reading for another seven minutes.  I'd show all seven minutes of it.  But of course I'd interspurse it with all the scrambling around in the war room of people trying to manage the crisis.  Then I'd slip in a little rendition.  This is where a mark is kidnapped and taken to Serbia or somewhere to be tortured by US forces.  Then he's dumped out in the street in Eastern Europe somewhere and has to get back home and fears for his life if he dares tell what happened to him.  I would include lots of waterboarding at Guantanamo Bay and I'd be pretty detailed and explicit here showing it going on for minute after minute and to more than one person but a whole series of persons.  Then I'd throw in Abo Grave and the POW abuse stuff there, too.  Just for the heck of it I'd throw in Laura Schlenger's son mouthing off and having strange posters in his room.  I would also do long edits of Howard Dean's speeches- - and then repeat the yell he did on newscast after newscast to show how one thing can be blown completely out of proportion.  Then I'd show the results of the elections in Iraq and the purple thumbs.  There was one in January of 2005 and there was another in October of 2005.  I guess I'd cover Hurricane Katrina just for the hell of it to highlight George Bush's general disinterest in the subject.  Then I'd cover Justice Robert's confirmation for Chief Justice.  I have people asking him whether or not he sticks up for the "little guy" and listening to his evasive answer.  Then I'd have him field the question that yielded "I'm just here to rule on balls and strikes' and then to guild the lily I'd pose a hypothetical case that's strikingly similar to Citizen's United.  But the Justice would refuse to venture an oppinion as to "whether I'd expand the ruling to throw out bars on Corporations because this is a hypothetical case which might come before the court and I wouldn't want to prejudice myself in advance.  When asked "Well could bring up another case" and get the same stonewall.  Then there were all of the surveilance questions and new revelations on spying occur every day.   I'd cover the liberal talk show revival and how people on the left were voicing their oppinions now.  The issue would be raised of how far we should let the government go to violate our rights of privacy.  Someone would raise the thing about the Fourteen Ways we know we have moved into a fascist society.  (I have that page somewhere on this hard drive)  Finally I'd close with the 35 Articles of Impeachment that were proposed before congress and people signing petetions to get this issue brought before congress.  And then I'd go black screen and have a white vertical crawl of philosophical statements about all of this being ten years ago and the question is whether we have progressed or retrogressed on the intervening ten years.  I think we know the answer. 

I had Face the Nation on.  There were a lot of the bobsey twins Mc Cain and Lindsey Graham, ever attached at the hip.  They are concerned about Iran and Hez Bellah and the safety of Israel and want to topple Assad and want to stay in Afghanistan, presumably for another fifteen years, because the situation is deteriorating there.  There is such a thing as cutting your losses.  Then there was Rubio from last week at the harbor.  Then there was a Democrat talking about Hillary and Lynch.  (Loretta Lynch made the ironic pledge that she would abide by whatever the FBI recomended in this case.  Mitt Romney says he can’t support either Trump or Clinton and in this I sympathize with him.  Romney is a thoughtful man, and I trust his reasoning process here.  In part two of that Miniseries- - - Donald Trump goes by the name of Daryl Bone, and the opposition campaign is "You better not vote without boning up on Bone".  Mitt Romney will play a roll in "Part Two" and his alias is Allan Reynolds, the sheet metal magnate.  His deceast father we are calling Jered Reynolds though people called him Jerry but "Jered" is a book in the book of Mormon.  He has a big picture of his father he prays to every night and got the Word from his father that he had to oppose Trump because God was willing him to do it.  By the way- - did you know Tommy Smothers was the other accoustic rhythm guitar in the Plastic Ono Band "Give Piece a Chance" the original 45 recording.  I want to do closing credits on Part One using "Give Piece a Chance".  The entire thing.

American Homeland - Part One

If I were to do a film or TV miniseries about George W Bush there are a whole lot of dark facts I want to include in it.  It's a pretty grim allegation that we'd have a president who was sociopathic enough to even consider using innocent American lives as pawns to advance his political carrier.  Some would say to go into the relation with his mother where he learned to be cavileer about death and not lacking in empathy.  He used cocaine to numb any personal pain and he dodged the draft.  But it wasn't because he had moral scruples about taking a human life because he used the death penalty "liberally" as Governor of Texas.  Some would call it "Texas justice".  He joked about Carla Fe Tucker's born again Christianity as a way of commuting her sentence.  He joked when the first Twin Tower was hit saying "That must really be one bad pilot".  But I am aware of the golden rule and wouldn't want to make false charges against "W" the way false charges were made about Barock Obama.  First there is the 1999 conversation with his writer saying that he would start a war in the Mideast to cash in on political capitol.  Then I’d mention that I was for Buchannon but Rush hated Buchannon perhaps because he isn’t a trade internationalist.  Then there is Jeb Bush’s remark about how we need some “Pearl Harbor” type event to turn the opinions of the American public around on the terrorism issue. This remark was actually made.  In "Part two" not covered here I explain that the initials Jeb stand for Joseph Edward Bushard Thornberry.  Barbra Bush regarded Jeb as the son with the brains anyhow and the one who "should" have been President.  We'll go into this in part two when we get there.  The trouble is that Part Two is still playing itself out and we won't know for sure the outcome till Trump gets elected President, if he does.  We have George W referring to Jeb's children as "the little brown ones" due to his wife's Mexican heritage.  Then I’d include that Bush claimed that “I would not be in the business of nation building” and he would have a humble, non interventionist foreign policy.  Then I’d mention Al Gore’s lock box on the surplus.  Every detail I’d mention would be a little knife twisting irony.  Of course the details of Florida and the stolen electoral count will be gone into at some length.  Then there is the computer system approved by Clinton and Gore for terrorism – state of the art, but Bush threw the whole system out.  Bush wanted massive tax cuts saying "We have too much money, we have to give it back to the tax payers".  Then there are the numerous warnings by aids saying an Al Qaeda attack would occur in the next month and how Bush stayed five weeks in Crawford Texas.  Then there is the overpowering of a pilot on that Boston flight with box cutters of all things.  How did they get inside the cockpit?  Then there was the order of NORAD to “stand down” from the usual alert.  Then there were all of the suspicious “maintenance closings” in the Twin Towers prior to 9 – 11 with the hint that perhaps they were installing explosives.  Then there is a strange object on the planes and a flash that hit just prior to both plans hitting their respective targets.  Then there was the endless hyping about how both buildings were in imminent danger of collapsing which could occur at any time.  It was almost like a promotional advertisement.  Then there was the enormous heat generated and shooting heavy objects out of the builsings with tremendous force.  I could go on but you see the point.  It’s not just one thing or two things.  All of the Bengazi stuff centers around the alleged order to “stand down” and not give military aid.  Shawn Hannity firmly believes this.  There was the news coverage where certain lines of inquiry or details were soon dropped almost as if on orders to drop them.  There was the notice given in advance that Building Seven had been destroyed before it even happened.  There was the absence of debris at the Pennsylvania “crash site” almost as if Flight 93 had been blown out of the sky by the government, which I wouldn’t blame them for if they did, but they just ought to admit it.  Then there was the Patriot Act passage and all of the anthrax scares of powder through the mail toward influencial democratic congressmen to scare them into voting for the Patriot Act.  If we were doing George W Bush in order we would then take up the pro and anti war debate and how Phil Donahew was kicked off the air for telling the truth.  The media and people like Chris Matthews even, were cheerleaders for the war effort.  Too bad we don't have liberals such as Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd around any more.  Britain got in on the act and the concencus was that "We have to disarm Saddam Hussein".  Of course there were Collen Powel's lies about "yellow cake uranium", which they knew wasn't true.  Then there’s the 64 thousand dollar question which goes like this.  If our entire justification for the Iraq War was “Weapons of Mass Destruction”, then why didn’t Bush rest on his “Mission Accomplished” laurals and pull the troops after Bush announced in early May of 2003 that the “Mission” had indeed been “Accomplished”?  There was a decision made to wipe out the whole Republican Guard, the Iraqi army and set up a "libertarian" paradise in Iraq".  Can we get documentation of this charge?  It's a key factor.  There was the blaming of the slow economy on the events of 9 - 11 and the repeated cry that "deficets don't matter" uttered by a whole chain of republican spokesman, one after the other.  Then there would be the early 2004 campaign where Howard Dean was leading in the polls till he let  out that “Yee Hah” war cry or whatever and Howard Dean went into a flame-out dive.  Then later in the campaign there were last minute influencial events in fall 2004.  There were the Swift Boat ads against John Kerry.  There was the Bin Laden video.  There were the constant shirts in alerts from yellow to orange or whatever.  And there was the phoney CBS memo that Dan Rather got fired over.  Then there were the exit polls showing John Kerry leading in Ohio till the voter machines did their magic and suddenly Bush carried the state.  Then it could be pointed out in the movie that they don’t use Exit polling anymore because of this very thing.  I figure if you do a dramatization you could have Bush going by the alias of Stanley Thornberry.  I formerly thought that after November 2004 you'd have a logical break point before the horrors of the second Bush administration are found out.  But I have since changed my mind and we'll edit differently.  It will still be two parts in "Part One", but the intermission will be just before the launch of "Shock and Awe" in March of 2003.  There were a lot of lavish palaces that were destroyed with bombs.  Like "Ferenheit 911" I'd show a lot of ordenary life going on in the market square and such and then "Shock and Awe" hits.  Part Two is a later period and won't begin till August of 2013 with the whole Syria and the "red line" thing, and part two takes it from there.  The tenative title of Part Two is "The Empire Endures".  And I’d also mention Obama in the second half of this movie, and I’d give him the name Barry Orenthol.  That’s Orenthol as in O J Simpson, another Oreo.

I went out and got two cups of iced tea from Rico and a pack of Graham crackers.  I talked briefly with Patty, who was wearing sun glasses.  She’s going to see her ex husband and her son and her daughter.  They are going to watch fireworks.  I talked about Judy and Chewy joined the conversation.  Then I called Paul’s number and there was no answer.  I called Mom.  It seems Paul is continuing to take off work.  He has to keep the GNLD business going for loyal customers.  Judy will be having a woman staying as caretaker.  The housekeeper came in here and she is thorough doing dusting and such every day.  Mom and I talked about cateract surgery for me some more.  I’m trying to talk myself into it.  Mom talked about her hearing doctor problems and sprays that don’t do what they’re promoted to do.  Mom gets charged for a lot of fees that amount to no services.  It wasn’t till a quarter after three when I turned on Norman Goldman.  Trump’s speech on economics upset a lot of establishment republicans.
