In Tora! Tora! Tora! a poem by the Japanese Emperor is quoted, “If all men are brothers why are the wind and waves so restless?”
It’s an ill wind that does not blow some good. Since the pope’s speech Hitler’s Mein Kampf is enjoying a renewal of brisk sales in Muslim nations, dictators threatening America and Israel are getting plenty of face time in the UN and on TV networks worldwide. Meanwhile our “leadership” continues to live on planet Greed seemingly oblivious to We the People, fiddling while Rome burns.
Power corrupts, and this explains why the White House and Congress, state legislatures seem oblivious to the fact America is being destroyed by the enormity of corruption throughout all levels of government, continuing to sell out and betray America to other nations for power and profits, for slave labor from Mexico, and can’t even agree on the need of secure borders and secure ballots.
Some time ago an editor for The Bakersfield Californian published a column calling attention to the aggravation of receiving all kinds of material from banks, credit card companies, government agencies that continue to send out their computer generated propaganda long after a loved one is deceased.
Granted it is left to the living to inform the appropriate parties that the loved one to whom all of this computer generated junk is addressed has passed on. But this editor pointed out the extreme difficulty one faces in stemming this flood of unwanted and unneeded computer generated material that continues coming despite efforts to stem the flood. Among the difficulties in attempts to inform the various parties and agencies involved of a loved one’s passing are those interminable mindless, disembodied telephone menus that so frustrate any hope of talking to a real, live and breathing human being.
Unexpectedly I find myself the remaining patriarch with all the folks now gone. I hope I have “cleaned up” after myself, and others won’t suffer any “clutter” after I am gone. We owe that to those remaining after our demise.
Now given the extent of corruption, and yes TREASON! in government at all levels I have to wonder: Who is going to “clean up” after America’s demise?
