seeking integrity in these times

if i were to try to blog on single focused subjects
i would be blogging almost endlessly
and this is not so much due to slightly schizophrenic tendencies
but the interconnected state of the world
in which my economic and social status turn out to be
a direct reflection of the barely suppressed chaos
that is america

as i write i sometimes feel relief
and this may be as much reason to write as any
for in writing i can begin to celebrate the fascinating complexity
of reality at this time in human evolution
which i would venture to say is unparalleled

i mean growing up in the middle ages probably sucked bad
but at least one understood one's lot as a serf on a farm
and could therefore maintain the heroic focus
which peasants have worldwide over millenia
trying to survive and raise families
amidst the often intense personal violence and oppression
of ruling class shenanigans and religious intolerance

nowadays it is unclear just what the social contract is
between the ruling class who have become so well-hidden
that to try to point them out immediately qualifies one as a nutty conspiracist

and modern serfs who coincidentally are rapidly growing in number
due to theft of their homes through fraudulent foreclosure scams
and the gutting of the american economy by multinationals
as well as untold trillions spent in militaristic ventures
that kill millions of innocent people and poison the planet
supposedly to protect us from terrorism

well i will tell you how it is
but you can look up what happened to the uss liberty in 1967
if you want to know just how the world works:

there is a shadow government named the CIA formed in 1947
that in 1963 in a bloody coup took hold of this country
killing over six million mostly democratic activists like allende in dozens of countries
while running drugs and guns in support of dictatorships around the world
gradually installing their own pyramidal structure of psychopaths

to achieve their spectacularly display of domestic mass murder in september of 2001

with the help of the global banksters and a bought-out congress
gutting the economy with trillion dollar bailouts
currency destruction and recent forays to outlaw home gardening
they are driving the usa incessantly toward a desperate fascism
beyond the huxleyan phase of distraction we have just completed
on to the hardcore orwellian phase we have just begun:

_________________


the line they have crossed is called the TSA
who subject all domestic flight passengers to the threat of radiation
or sexual molestation if they wish to continue to travel by air
under the guise of a threat of another underwear bomber
who it turns out was nothing but a CIA dupe
a confused young muslim easily recruited
through that agencys arabic branch known as al qaeda

one can tell because its the same modus operandi
as all the other so-called terrorist events
in which there are gaping holes in the official story
whose evidence drops into a black hole
upon handling by the ever-reliable FBI

in this case two huge leads were completely ignored by so-called investigators:
the startling revelation of a passenger observed to have been filming the entire flight
including calmly standing to record the fire
and first hand reports of a tall indian man who helped the young nigerian bomber
who couldn't even find the right gate to get on the plane
despite the bomber not even having a passport
reports of which unsurprisingly found no traction
in a mass media managed more effectively than in the old ussr

all of which conveniently led to multi-million dollar profits
for some collaborating corporation producing x-ray machines
to be installed at every major airport
as well as the psychologically pinpointed stress
of invasive groping of crotches including reaching into people's underwear
with gloves unchanged from person to person

with all resisters threatened tackled or arrested
as a test case scenario of how pliant the public has become


________________


i for one will be taking the train in my own small personal boycott
for even if i would not be one of those selected for such gestapo treatment
to witness others subject to such tactics without protesting
would be tantamount to a collaboration
my good german ancestors attempted to get by with
and in doing so sacrificed their country to evil

it means sacrificing an extra day of work
in order to travel 20 hours each way
but the inconvenience is the least i can do
as global events from gmo food to atmospheric manipulation
to bankster theft of the entire nation's wealth
to authoritarian enforcement of illegal statutes
prohibiting people from sleeping or eating
continue to threaten personal sovereignty
with overwhelming force

on the upside jesse ventura has joined the air travel boycott
along with his lawsuit of the TSA gropers filed yesterday

unfortunately there are also breaking reports
that amtrak has now instituted mobile x-ray scanners
on the L A branch i will be traveling
so confrontation may be inevitable after all
but hey we do the best we can to avoid it
and then deal with it as we must

i consider it all further training
not only in preparation for functioning amidst the postmodern order of things
but in discerning with little outside support
what is real and worth fighting for

while maintaining the psychological serenity
and physical health also called for
by the overarching need

for integrity

  1. I've been arriving and departing at Lamy, NM. It is such an old world station. It does not have scanners or check points or TSA. At best, it has flush toilets, some electricity and a few horses hitched to a post at the side of the station.

  2. I like Lamy and thanks for the note. It's getting all the way out to L A where I have to switch trains--and since they are installing mobile x-ray machines there, possibly deal with the same BS I'm trying to boycott in the first place--which has me tweaked.

  3. One way to get around the x-ray machine is to end the train trip in L.A., then jump on a bus or a passenger metro link to your next destination. I do not know if there is a high speed rail between L.A. and San Diego. Maybe, from L.A., you can hook up with a ride-share.

    Another possibility is to do what I do: end the train trip in San Bernardino. From there, I get a Greyhound to Palm Springs.

    BTW: I am just assuming that your train trip destination is Southern CA.
