“…And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence…”(‘The Sound of Silence’/Paul Simon) Sadly, the NOISE of Trump and his cohorts of American bred Oligarchs/religious zealots who feign there IS difference between their Christian ideological vice-like grip on freedom so similar to the Muslim Taliban, the pay to incite bigotry and racist propagandists, and so-called Conservative spokespeople from FOX Noise to Conservative Radio Snake Oil Salesmen and Saleswomen…the minions of MAGA self-righteous, self-anointed Patriots whose Patriotism includes dressing, and saluting the once and forever enemies of the United States such as the Confederate States of America, the German Nazi Government, and now the Putin led Russians, who have invaded this nation in 2016..that NOISE has grown so loud, and consistent, that too many Americans have either become dumb deaf and blind…a means to an end from which MOST Authoritarian, Narcissistic Despots and their lemming-like hate-filled Enablers conceive, and conspire to achieve!
"…Fools, " said I, "You do not know Silence, like a cancer, grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words, like silent raindrops, fell And echoed in the wells, of silence…” (The Sound of Silence/Paul Simon) The same Trump NOISE appears and reappears as so-called Journalists remind us that during a Hurricane, Trump is once again playing golf, that once again when an American politician travels, he or she ends up staying at a Trump-owned property. We are spoken AT, by Talking Heads, paid six-salary figures that, Trump is a liar, a bigot, a racist, a homophobe, misogynist, and anti-Semite…and their words seem to rattle in the wind like the Tumbleweeds in a West Texas landscape, the same state, which recently made purchasing and owning a gun MUCH easier, even as three mass shootings in the past few months took the lives of the innocent, and even wounded and killed the good guys with guns, the Texas Marshalls. Some, once HARDCORE Republican mouthpieces are now seceding from the Republican Party as if their current behavior amends their past endorsements for the current crop of blackmailed/bullied/and spineless GOP Russian Compromised Agents or perhaps Russian Assets!
“…And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made, And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming, And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls" And whispered in the sounds of silence..” (The Sound of Silence/Paul Simon). Some people have asked and wondered why I am so OBSESSED with my daily harangue regarding Trump/#Moscow Mitch/The Republican Party/the Maggots who wear MAGA hats, who continue to support a man who cares less and less about their lives, but more and more about their votes. I watch as the leadership of the Democrat Party ebb and flows like a tide, demanding the truth about Trump be exposed, yet only seem to talk, and then become silent, waiting for a better time to act…I consider that REACTING. The Jews in Rome and Berlin remained silent…the Jews in Warsaw, stayed silent too long to attempt an Uprising…the Reagan Administration was silent about the HIV-AIDS epidemic. Until Rosa Parks decided that sitting in the front of the Bus, the “Colored folk”, sat in the back…Silence, a passive/aggressive response by humans, NEVER has been a victor, only a defeated soldier. The ACT-UP soldiers of the LGBT finally understood that SILENCE EQUALS DEATH! No more silence, NEVER any more silence…if you decide that 2020 will automatically change the world in which are living, then your head is entirely up your ass, or deeply and firmly in the ground. To remain silent is to commit suicide, and I do not want to die a slow agonizing death!
