Voter Education

The narration on the Gate Keeper’s Profile is in post production. Updated research is forthcoming on the new job description for the cast of characters who/will occupy shadow positions from our local communities to the hallowed halls of the United States Congress. The preliminary draft analysis indicates the new age gate keeper will still operate on a time sensitive schedule by not allowing anyone access that might threaten to expose the cover up of lack luster community relations/constituents services protocols.
As we sort through the enormous amount of information being streamed don’t get it twisted, the gate keepers include thousands of present and former community leaders, local, state and congressional staffers. They had/have unlimited access to file cabinets of approved information that they are directed to share with the chosen ones. If you aren’t on the list, you are advised to visit a website. Your need to know request is covered in the “USA Patriot Act.” Click on: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_PATRIOT_Act)
There is another discipline of voter education and education in general that dictates we take time out to reflect on what we now know and how best to use this new knowledge as we move forward. It has only been 16 days since the general election and electoral tempers are leveling off. Thoughts of the upcoming holidays are replacing that after the elections depression.
One can’t help but be exhausted from all the pressures of life, raising children, caring for parents, working too hard or too aimlessly? This Thanksgiving season gives us another opportunity to reflect on what to do next in life and plan how to chart a meaningful path.
Elections evoke a great deal of passion even though their direct practical consequences for our lives elude us. A huge struggle takes place culminating on election day, but what is the struggle really about? Is it the details of our everyday physical existence—are we completely unaffected by the outcome? We are left with the same work, the same family, and the same friends, no matter what the outcome. So why all the brouhaha? Something huge appears to be at stake? But what?
Last week’s post on the emergence of this new strain of boll weevil had a thought provoking effect on what’s past is past. I’ve been overwhelmed with the amount of feedback that touched nerves, raised the attention level to high and generated dialog in so many different expressions of understanding. Most noticeable were the comments of personal concern. People are afraid of the truth. If you tick them off you’ll find yourself alone. Play ball and enjoy the fruits of the good life. Sounds like a warning but encouragement also comes in the form of: I couldn’t have said it better. If they are talking about you then you’re doing something right and giving documented examples of the trickery that lurks within.
To sum it up, learning to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in this life has purpose. Be mindful, there are no mistakes, or coincidences in politics. Expect to hear some new definitions for the loop holes in the transactions of the people’s liquidity. It will sound more pleasant to the ears, but be assured; the results are what you call an oxymoron. You end up having more debt than you can afford.
One thing is clear; we’re in for some political dark days ahead. Right-left and middle wingers are preparing to keep us mired in disastrous economic stagnation long enough to win back the White House. So, as we pause this Thanksgiving season to give thanks for all the blessing in our lives don’t forget the countless number of voices plowing through the shackles in our minds. The voice of reason takes a stand and knows where the skeletons are buried. But, the voice of selfishness knows allowing the truth a fair hearing will lead to a unanimous trust but verify policy. The practice of don’t worry just follow my lead have intended misdirected goals and objectives that are not in our best interest. Those echoes you hear from the past are the voices of the backs you have stepped on to keep you feeding at the money troth. Boll weevils and dim-utter-crats are playing with fire, and it’s being fueled by a long history of urinating in our face while saying, it’s just rain.
Yes, reflecting reminds us of the shock and uh of those that voted for self serving opportunist whose sole ambition is protecting their ass_sets while enhancing their thrust for power. Stepping on the backs of the uninformed to achieve an ulterior motive breaks one’s spirit. While the weak keep looking down, your climb to the top leaves a trail of broken hearts and unfulfilled dreams. Your blinders hide the inability of your arrogance to comprehend the next back you attempt to step on may stand up forcing you to a stop. No more slip-slidin’
When we start to move ourselves in a new forward-motion of mutual recognition of who we really are and what we really long for on this earth, our private and personal depressions will be replaced by an independent thinker’s approach to life. Truth is not absolute; it changes over time. Everyone has an equal claim to life, liberty, justice, and ideas should be open to criticism.
Enjoy this time honored tradition of communing with family and friends for tomorrow, if you awake, the water torture continues one drip at a time until the weight spills over and is absorbed into the dash of your final resting place.
Finally, May the tracks of my journey be tagged with a GPS microchip, so future generations will have a point of reference enabling the forgotten thought, Before you take that first step towards the pie in the sky, it is written, life’s lessons will be the topic of your dissertation. Ascend to achieve the highest degree only a few obtain a PhD in the Truth!
“Everlasting peace comes with a disclaimer; additional paperwork required executor of the will can contact their political gate keeper for instructions.”
