“We seem to live in a world where forgetting and oblivion are an industry in themselves and very, very few people are remotely interested or aware of their own recent history, much less their neighbors'. I tend to think we are what we remember, what we know. The less we remember, the less we know about ourselves, the less we are. ― Carlos Ruiz Zafón “We forget old stories, but those stories remain the same.” ― Dejan Stojanovic, “Confusion: the bastard half-brother of chaos. Chaos: the torture instrument of forgetting.” Preti Taneja
They did it again, refused to adhere to any rules of law, the laws established by the Constitution, and replaced the laws with lies. Convenient, when in fact, the facts are too burdensome, so just pretend fiction is the truth, and have anyone gullible, or giddy enough agree, forgetting is the favored fortune of the future. So, Trump and his gang of goons, sworn to protect Trump, and now it seems their own lying lives, instead of America, act as criminals complaining to the crowd of mindless minions, that the real criminals are those seeking to remember, and purposely provide those remembrances for public discourse, and public knowledge! And the more the intentional forgetfulness lingers, the longer, memories of the past meld into a void, which is so cluttered with noise and that it begins to feel nonsensical and a numbness encroaches and today’s lies form into the rot and ruin, mold and mildew of a space piled with junk!
Kids remain in Concentration Camps, Families are still separated, some parents in one country, and the rest of their family hidden from sight in another land. The real reason Trump won the 2016 election is no longer news but an assumption and the rotten players then have returned and the barrel of votes ripening for the 2020 election is becoming infected with the same poison, prepared by Putin! Women are still an issue with the Evangelical American Taliban, whose male leadership feeling omnipotent is actually impotent; and along with the female gender, are intimidated with the freedom the homosexual community desire to love whomever they wish. Liars, lying under oath, as if placing a hand on a Bible means nothing more than sharing your DNA on a perceived Holy Book, remain in positions of power from the Supreme Court to the various Cabinet members, to the folks who once protected the security of this nation, only to transform into a personal army for Trump.
They did it again, the remaining so-called Top Tier of men and women running for the office of President from the Democrat Party, forgetting that no paper ballots, means no true voter tally. They debate the inefficient methods Trump chooses to fight a war, or walk away from a war, or to whom he owes allegiance, for whom he only desires death and doom, forgetting in their scurry and hurry to score a point or two, our Troops are in the crosshairs of enemies deadly weaponry. Guns kill, mass shootings continue, school kids now learn reading writing and how to hide from assault weapons, but not much is done to fix the issues of murder and mayhem used by a very UN-REGULATED MILITIA! They did it again, spoke about the economy, affordable medical care, social security, and environment…but have expressed any resolve to remove a tyrant who IS still the Commander-In-Chief. “…We seem to live in a world where forgetting and oblivion are an industry in themselves…”/ Carlos Ruiz Zafón, and the more we permit this the less chance we have for change and are left with only consequence!
