I Am Not Your Negro - Film go see it - 20170204

I got to see I am not your Negro last night. Highly recommend. The film to me was a mirror to America. The triad of Malcolm, Martin, and Medgar are juxtaposed with Baldwin's artistry and human presence to plant the seed of questioning of how white America can justify the presupposition of entitlement to treat black America and indigenous America as lesser. The burden of the premise is shifted into the consciousness of the viewer to juxtapose the illusions of Doris Day and Gary Cooper with the realities of lynchings and slavery to pivot the surrealism into a pallid mirror to the shininess of 1950's white-washed appliances and picket fences. The statement I am a man is revolutionary to the insanity of the premise of supremacy and echoes poignantly into the present. Frankly put this movie is not so much about Baldwin or his life or story, but the power in his words for a white American audience to look in the mirror to what a black American audience has long known and lived. Given the current state of our government I hope people support this art.

Trump on Iran - 20170203

Piecing together the potential war with Iran military equation based on the theme of actions Trump's administration is orchestrating. The global shift to the Chinese Yuan over the U.S. Dollar exposes the false deflationary pressure that maintains the American financial oligarchy. The world needs our currency so dollars remain in demand keeping the dollar valuable, so the spending power of American firms stretches further on an international scale. You can look at China's trade deal with Russia to switch in 2014, you can look at Libya, Iraq, Venezuela, and the grand daddies: Europe and the remainder of O.P.E.C. This is one of the primary reasons the U.S. is so tight with Saudi Arabia and overlooks their horrendous violations of human rights, the House of Saud, and ties to 9/11. Americans are being marketed to right now to start to hate Iranians under an alternative facts administration. Normally when the American people are lied to there is a line, wherever that line is, it is zooming past Nixon territory on an hourly basis. Don't believe the bull shit about this extreme vetting. America already has some of the most extreme standards of legal immigration on the planet. This oh a new human got elected to the magic chair so everything has to be re-evaluated for 30 days is complete childishness. Adults look at empirical evidence and speak from knowledge, not visceral feelings of ignorance.

When the Trump administration does things like say Iran is on notice, what this means is that it has already been decided: the Trump administration wants a military campaign to notch its bedpost it can call its own. If you want to think broader and think how does a potential WWIII come out of this. Well if you ask, who does Russia side with in the oil war. China and Russia paired in 2014 on currency. Iran announces intent to switch. Africa and Dafur are directly related to Chinese buying genocide oil. The American government systematically tries to eliminate or undermine the power of governments threatening to change currencies. This is a systematic pattern that predates Trump by a long shot.

So if the Chinese economy gets the Yuan to fund O.P.E.C. then you get to the idea the biggest purchaser of oil on Earth, the U.S. military suddenly has to pay a whole lot more to go to war. You have Exxon as Secretary of State, oil at the EPA, an oil-bro at the department of Energy, we can see the risks or we should. Which side are you on, which side is your government on?

Milo goes to College - 20170201

Milo Yiannopoulous is groomed by Bannon to pervert politically correct culture into a tool of identity politics to get voters. Milo is a gay British cultural Jew college dropout who uses tabloid-style internet videos and posts to instigate reactions from liberals who try to use facts, by saying your facts are not real. Here are the alt-right facts. This is where Trump’s alternative facts term comes from on his second day in office. To the alt-right, the gender wage gap is not real. American females are already more than equal given college graduation rates. Feminists are haggard militant angry women who just need to get laid by a man.

As a gay culturally-Jewish male his barbs are particularly effective in contrast to the traditional heterosexual WASP spokesman for the Right. Yiannopoulous does not seem so much political as a hired flamethrower to aggravate the shit out of liberals and get conservatives to laugh giddy at how annoyed self-righteous femi-nazi’s and millennial activists appear. Milo wants to go to college and trigger protests. It is part of the Trump-agenda reality show and triggered liberals tend to bite the artificial lure. If you are clicking on his articles or the ones condemning him tonight you are doing just that. Do what you want, but those clicks add up to people who run media deciding what to give attention to and post. Look who that put in the White House. There are people and events to protest. Milo is not one of them.

If there is anything to learn from Milo it is the weakness in identity politics as a political strategy. Also Milo does a decent job of pilfering criticisms of fundamentalist Islamic governments from the grave of Christopher Hitchens and bastardizing his genius with nonsense and flamboyant target practice to create a viral video. The most dangerous lie is one with some truth in it.

The anti-P.C. alt-right agenda works particularly well on older conservatives who do not understand the post-civil rights era well and on younger male progeny who are piloting universities with look-how-big-my-dick is as evidenced by how disrespectful I can be to women as a tool for sex. There is a hunter gatherer strong men take aspect and wimpy P.C. feminist men are walking-vajay-jays thing happening. There is counterreaction to the feminization of the liberal male by the fraternity and football-bar bro. The math has a lot to do with sex and repression of sex.

The alt-right uses obscenities forbidden for religious right conservatives. Trump that bitch. Make fun of: the handicapped, homosexuals, safe spaces, P.C. acronyms, and start racial brushfires. Use anti-Semitic slurs. Engage a constant attack on feminists to counterpunch Hillary Clinton’s base of white women to prompt inter-female aggression. In the misogynistic lens, good women of the alt-right get laid by a man she serves in the libido adventures of the alt-right troll.

The attractive mechanism in Milo’s actions are the support of free speech, even troll speech. He intentionally goes to P.C. bastion colleges and created confrontations between college Republican groups and protesters for Black Lives Matters and feminist groups. He wants ridiculousness. The point of the troll is the reaction and the infancy of misunderstanding how to react to the opponent is why Milo’s presence permeated the internet and helped alt-right media affect the 2016 U.S. presidential election.  The alt-Right wants a divided-issue Left.

If the fractional Left continues to champion identity politics issues: black lives matters, women's march, environmentalism, immigration, labor unions, etc. in factions rather than a singular consolidated progressive agenda the Left is divided and weaker.  This is the major political error of politically correct culture because facts get buried in this idea as if to care about an issue the issue has to be related to one's ego and self-identification.  The Republicans crafted this with Christianity paired with Capitalism in the 1950's and the perverse agenda has co-opted what is moral or good into what is about how I see myself in my America.  

Trump mimicked this strategy on the campaign trail. Build that Wall! Trump that Bitch! Crooked Hillary. Show the emails! Muslim ban. Detention camps. Abortion ban. Defund Planned Parenthood. Climate change is a Chinese conspiracy. I don’t know Putin. Locker room talk. Panel of rape accusers for Bill Clinton night of the last debate. I will only show my tax returns after the audit is over. I don’t pay taxes. These are incendiary statements contrary to a typical opponent’s strategy. This is David versus Goliath where David is an annoying pompous orange cheese puff-looking slow-roll Keyser Soze in the weeds against a woman with plenty of skeletons of her own.

Trump announces on his third day in office he will not release his tax returns. He says voters do not care. The press is using alternative facts about his inauguration crowd size. This is re-framed language for the word lies. As a political reality Democrats and the press are going to milk the tax story forever, which will serve as a distraction for Trump's true agenda. This is the liberal feminist in the college auditorium yelling at Milo with facts.

Facts do not work on Trump. He ignores them. The alt-right twists arguments into convenient alternative facts. Swallow. Kellyanne Conway hair shrug. The post-truth internet currently does not demand facts.

Trump wants a circus. He wants a reality show. He wants the spotlight on him so that his unqualified department heads and the professional politicians and congress can re-engineer laws and programs to shift trillions of dollars in the global economy while the press and his opponents focus on his gyrations and vortex of ego.

Some of his agenda like the Mexican wall are intentional distractions. Others like tax cuts are not. Threatening military action against Iran is horrendous and should scare the hell out of anyone. Milo is a tool being paid very well to normalize a very dangerous agenda to better the rival news network to Fox News in Bannon's Brietbart and gaslight the world and sell oil. Please if you are a progressive think before you click, but you can click on this link it's a kickass Descendents song.

Checklist for a Necon Gameplan

Posturing for war. A neoconservative game plan. Set up. Stage the enemy from a checklist of raw materials nations who have not yet been annihilated. Do something asinine to provoke target. Goad a terrorist event or unacceptable behavior. Capitalize. Rationalize the destruction of infrastructure and control of those resources. Market to American people as patriotic while incurring massive debt. Suppress dissent. Use alternative facts. Use military. Inflict massive casualties. U.S. military is the biggest purchaser of oil. Impose hegemony. Corporate profit. Consolidated control. Repeat. Salute flag. Pray to the dominate mirror of god.

Words at the Start of Black History Month 20170201

Words on the start of Black History Month and the start of humanity. "The fight over the blue gold is coming." There is so much wisdom in those words. The stressed and polluted water basins. The drained aquifers to exponentially deplete reservoirs that took thousands of years to reserve. Drilled. California to South Dakota. Oklahoma earthquakes. What happens after the last drop of Lake Mead is gone? What of India and China when billions confront starvation?

There was a time in my life where my father taught me the power of indigenous people through his bond of Louisiana hunting grounds, to respect the animals and plants in union. He still lives that way, but his mind while being a forester and a very real functional environmental conservationist does not vote that way or stand with what Standing Rock represents. Fox News and inculcated retirement television ideology depart from what is real into alternative realities with guns and black snakes. There is a bit of Luke Skywalker in me on this one.

For so many generations the world has repressed the presence of indigenous people and the link to the land. In the humanity of indigenous people we see the origin of our species genetically chained back to mother Africa through evolution and migration sailing the oceans long before Columbus. This threatens Abrahamic monotheisms tilting the neck of billions. Only through consciousness and embracing the root of humanity in blackness can we shed these illusionary barriers and embrace, exalt, and empower our universal interconnection to properly address the problems threatening our species' extinction.

Reality show: Muslim ban 20170128

The Steaming-Teapot Despot’s level of ignorance implodes the soul of America into a sniveling fearful petulant child cross with the arrogance of blind comfort.  The pox of pious judgment from unholy men cakes the hypocrisy of right-wing Christian xenophobia to cull the last flecks of Jesus form the Republican Party.  Abiding consent is consent.  There is no Christ is an immigration ban.
  

There was no Christ in Obama’s drone bombs or George Bush’s Iraq cratering the arts of Aleppo.  There was no Christ in the fires of Ho Chi Minh City.  There was no Christ in American slavery.  Smarmy Snatch-grabber is a long froth of a fetid brew. 

Tests of women and men of quality of heart based on religious beliefs is unconstitutional.  Such filtering is the very root of the American plantation that bore this vitriol in systemic culmination of repugnant xenophobia. 

This is unintelligent goading that causes pain. Muslims have suffered more than any group on Earth from Islamic terrorism. These are the very people America needs to abate the pernicious seed of global fundamentalism. This course of action alienates America's greatest potential allies in our citizenry and abroad from pursuing the extermination of that seed in favor of fertilizing it. Islam is love. Christianity is love. Judaism is love.

America was founded on genocide by Puritans facing persecution after the Thirty Years War seeking refuge sailing in the false illusions of Manifest Destiny. We must reckon our identity here and now in the orders of a narcissistic elitist carnival barker.

Is this who we are? Mosques in flames. Families ripped open for public spectacle. Are we to go as Rome? A pox o’ your throat, you bawling, blasphemous, incharitable dog!

A Love Poem 20170128

Summoning guts to write a love poem

Remembering the neural serum to unsheathe heart

Opened metal lunchbox on a desk

Unfolded abutment to a computer monitor

Staring into a folded-pulse bloody

Second line New Orleans trumpet through a window

Reminder to replenish almond milk from the grocer

Distractions from thinking about love

A decade of packing meals

Independence life jacket

Solo ticket row eight seat G to see Louie C.K.

Did not contemplate purchasing two, asking

Ingrained form of travel

Visualizing an over-the-shoulder glance at snow footprints

Paced lines blurring

Cunnilingus tongue acrobatics

Sensation of psychic trauma of insemination

Being a father in a courtroom and protested parking lots

Drinking Pimm’s Cups and Sazeracs to wash

Hoop dreams with poetic dancers and yoginis

The bloodlessness

Egyptian cotton and the way a woman’s buttocks

Slips out the side of the sheet

Welcoming curve of spoons

Flavor of mutual surrender

Orchid petal glitter and crescent lunge Anjaneyasana thighs

Lilac-streaked raven locks and wanting to hold hands in public

Repressed taboo hijacked by dating swipe apps

Anesthetized pap thrum blurring faces

Buddhist sand mandala in a notebook of poems

Devoured by a bitch bulldog tattered pages on carpet

Belly full of words obliterated into fetid numb

That fire of wanting to write snuffed in oxygen-less protocols

Lost employment and lost children, cindered mortgages

Haze over snow sprinkling fairy dust dreams

Knowing it is not that I look at women as unattractive or unapproachable

Female universal human vastness emanating overwhelms

There is a surface place in the fields of white powder

Where men slide about skating time impervious to depths of heart

I cannot be this man, never have, maybe never will

A poet cannot help but feel

To bleed in breath and see the tiny miracles of bloom in a woman’s breath

The curvatures of creation cry out in countless cosmic kisses

A stargazer awed in the profundity of time’s caress

The layered intricacies of witnessing a human being

Of laying body-next-to-body conversing

In a coffee shop or the top of stairs or in the folds

One exposes ovum

To be a lover in the words

Union not limited to licentious straps

Free as butterfly wings gusting cheeks flush with red blood

Lips wet with tingling morn   

I want to bury below the snow

Have conversations with the flight feathers of ravens

Of when you felt safe once, to land, to contemplate twigs and nests

The entomology of caterpillars and nourishment

I want to feel safe enough to let you land

To bed in these white sheets

Open to the warming
