“There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of his imagination. It is the area we call the Twilight Zone” (Rod Serling)
Stumping or is it STOMPING, the arid environments of the folks who have become tumbleweed, floating from racist remarks to hatred rhetoric, yearning for the days of imaginary yore, Trump has taken his fictional tirade and has watered new gardens of mistrust, misinformation, and a malevolent majesty of mayhem. Caught between the need to victimize and the fear of being THE victim, the audience of MAGA wearing minions praise the empty harmonies of a heatless man.
“The truth is that killing innocent people is always wrong - and no argument or excuse, no matter how deeply believed, can ever make it right. No religion on earth condones the killing of innocent people; no faith tradition tolerates the random killing of our brothers and sisters on this earth.” (Feisal Abdul Rauf)
Using whatever tricks living up their sleeves, be it smoke and mirrors or a shell game, the Conservative media has begun to vandalize the death of an innocent man whose only curse on the world was to try and tell the truth. It matters no longer about the quality of life, nor its value, as long as deceit can be deployed to destroy a fair and equal life. From a journalist beheaded by villainous terrorists, to the torture of a journalist by a Royal Family, to the encouragement by the most powerful man in America bragging about punching and beating yet another journalist, we witness the death of innocence and the rise of madness, mindless and rife with murder!
“It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones.” (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn)
The newest propaganda speak is jobs or mobs. The inference being that bad people protested Kavanaugh’s sneaky, and sinister nomination to the Supreme Court, while dismissing the Nazi-style intimidation tactics of the good folk…White Nationalists/KKK/ and Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy. The newest bit of lynch mob motivation is to ignore the lack of rights for immigrants/women/LGBT/and people of color and praise the real American who finds discrimination a national power.
“Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.” (Blaise Pascal)
There is malaise, a disease from which I have been suffering, a condition which tears apart every single lesson of life I had grown up with, learning from family and friends that truth is not an abstract but a real as the sky above, the earth below and the air we breathe. My stomach churns, my headaches, my heart breaks, and my mind begins to spin, as I watch and witness, the truth debated as if it was just a fickle fancy, for a spoiled few.
