Heat Waves,
a Mirage, a Vision
But in
reality, a Void
It started
way back in 2004. Some TV executive took a failed business man and made him
into a reality TV star.
Oh, this
business man had seen successes, but only by ignoring integrity and morality.
By leaving his partners, those to whom he had originally sold many ideas, who
believed in co-operative efforts and loyalty, to try and complete whatever
disaster he had originally talked them into. A project that, through the
manipulation of facts sounded good but proved to be impossible under those
circumstances offered by reality.
So, this new reality TV star led business graduates and real-estate agents through a variety of tasks that were often mean and impossible. On the rare occasions when they actually achieved success – seldom completely but often partially due to actual intelligence and tenacity superior to the host’s – they were instructed to “Move on to the next phase.”
However,
most of the time, even when they achieved some of the success the host had
never intended, they were told, “You’re fired!”
And the TV
executives, even some of the competition said, “Isn’t that funny?” and others
agreed with, “A real riot.”
It wasn’t
funny. It was demeaning and destructive. It taught division and hate.
And there
were many glaring inaccuracies.
And people
said, “Well, it’s only TV. You can’t expect it to be the truth.”
“But it’s
supposed to be reality TV.”
“It’s
alright. Everyone knows it isn’t real.”
And then he
heard that some people on the southern border where unhappy with the
undocumented immigrants walking into the country. Rightly so, of course,
because some of those avoiding the border, perhaps as much as half of one
percent of the total are drug cartel members, thieves and murderers and should
be squashed and eradicated like Ebola virus.
Suddenly
our reality TV star, who knew absolutely nothing about the situation in the
Southwest began describing the, “Six thousand murders. Thousands of slaughtered
livestock. Ranchers going out of business due to the theft. Stolen vehicles
used to transport cocaine into the country.”
And
thinking people said, “Those are all lies. No one will believe such
foolishness.”
But no one
said, “Prove it!”
And when
they did, he said, “Fake news.”
And a
national broadcaster --- A NATIONAL BROADCASTER.
ARE YOU
PAYING ATTENTION YET?
A national
broadcaster also said, “Fake news”!
And he
continued with another attack. “These thousands are using up our resources, medical
and financial and costing us millions,” he said, when in fact, there where and
are no real programs offering relief to these people, most of whom worked hard
to pick fruit and vegetables at a price that made it possible for the producer
to make a living and the consumer to be able to buy it.
Did anyone
say, “Prove it!”? Did anyone say, “Show me the figures!”?
Once he had
everyone’s attention and believing the absolute disaster that didn’t
exist, and hating neighbors because they didn’t swallow the BS and thereby
destroying a perfectly wonderful country, he said, “I’m going to run for
President and we’re gonna build a wall.”
HALLELUYA!
A WALL!
We
pause for a moment for identification.
This
“unregistered immigration” is the primary, over-riding concern for the US of A?
The
fact that in a majority of cases, if the leader of a household, and in some
cases, the secondary leader, develop cancer or have a stroke or heart attack
that family is or soon will be homeless doesn’t bother anyone? The fact that in
many countries, even underprivileged countries, you can recover from such
medical misfortune and live for years, even decades, but in the US of A there
is a very high possibility the great emergency room (and it is absolutely second to none) treatment will initially
save you and within months or a few years you will die anyway because you can't reach proper follo -up doesn’t bother anyone?
The fact that a work-place injury can lead to loss of employment even if that
injury is due to poor standards maintained by the employer doesn’t bother
anyone?
Perhaps
it’s education or the lack of it that few understand. During the recent
election there were many expressing the idea that the President of the country
could change anything he wanted at any time. Suggestions by some, even outright
statements that there are no checks and balances on government, civil, state or
federal or that laws are changed to meet the circumstances.
That
is just two subjects of dozens that are part of every nation. But they aren’t
as important as the population being increased through immigration each year by 1% of the existing
population?
I wonder what those of Nez Perce ir Cheyenne heritage think about that?
And
everyone could envision the wall and could imagine how it would keep the dozen
or two dozen cartel maggoty vermin out of the country --- out of the MAYBE
250,000 that were coming across to pick carrots and cabbage --- and they could
see what a wonderful thing it would be and it would save the country and keep
the drugs out and wages would go up and even the high school drop-outs cooking
meth, making oxycodone, cutting and distributing coke, selling drugs on the
corner, high-jacking cars and mugging tourist would have a productive job and
contribute to society.
And the The
Great Wall of the Trumpeter was built and it slowed border incursion way down
from 250,000 to 300,000 and no one knows for sure what it cost but it was well
over $3 million which would have hired and trained many, many border agents
who, unlike a wall, would have been able to tell how dangerous the migrants
were and if they intended destruction, mayhem and murder or just wanted a job
and to contribute to society.
And the one
National Broadcaster who supported The Great Wall of the Trumpeter with what
proved to be complete fabrications and who made statements about an
international company that was proven to be another fabrication was told by US
courts to pay a fine far smaller than the damaged caused --- AND WAS STILL
ALLOWED TO OPERATE!
And no one
said the company is the “National Enquirer of the airwaves.”
And he
said, “They come in here from the Caribbean …”
(Perhaps they swam?) “and they have homeless shelters …” (perhaps made
of palm fronds?) “and they’re stealing and eating all the cats and dogs.”
And some
thinking people said, “No one will believe something so silly.”
But no one
said, “You are a liar.”
And no
maggoty vermin from drug cartels entered ----- (Which may be true since I’ve
seen publications claiming that the maggoty vermin of drug cartels, finding
fewer trained personnel to oppose them simply land their Leer Jets, Bombardiers
and Dassault Falcons at the most convenient airport.) ------or at least no such
miscreants were captured by The Great
Wall of the Trumpeter
And no one
called him out to make him prove these outrageous statements.
No one could
envision he would be believed.
It was all
a joke. “He’s a clown, unworthy of respect.”
For four
years he held a position that should garner the utmost respect but instead the
rest of the world laughed.
If someone
in the world shows some signs of having access to dollars (or Rubles) he treats
them like great Maharajas or deities even though in at least two cases they are
the most despicable creatures on the planet --- even more so than the maggoty
vermin of the drug cartels.
There are a
great many people desolate and depressed that he is once again headed for
Washington DC and I say now unto them, “You brought it on yourself.”
YOU allowed
his mis - representation of integrity and proper business practices to not only be
portrayed on TV but to continue.
YOU allowed
statements with no factual support, in some cases far exceeding even a glimmer
of possibility (6000 murders? Stealing and eating all the cats and dogs?),
statements that destroyed lives, societies, supportive companies and national
unity.
You laughed
at his outrageous antics thinking no one could possibly believe.
Apparently,
something like 34% of the voting public did believe --- or at least
wanted to.
Even when they have been proven wrong, people will still support a very bad cause because they don’t want to admit they’ve been duped. But despite this fact I truly believe that in this circumstance, morality, integrity and a great country are all too important to be abandoned. As a result, many of those now on the bandwagon will realize, in two or two and a half years that reality is far different than reality TV.
And the two “sides” are about as far apart as your two hands
so surely two decent directors can be found
It would
have been much easier for you in 2015 but now you have about four years to make
it work.
You thought the first four where a disaster? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
