The World's A Stage

The world's a stage and the game is chess; we're falling behind trying to analyze the past no one's looking ahead #thepeople vs #thepower I just tweeted that. So if you follow me that's just one of the many nuggets of knowledge you can expect every once in awhile. The rest of the time its ostracizing (or at least evident by the people who constantly unfollow my ass) comments on whatever topic seems necessary. One strategy I need to focus on is STAYING FOCUSED. Because you can't relate global politics to chess one minute and the next be wailing about your deceased grandfather, regardless of how badly you miss him or how much you regret your inaction in the weeks leading up to his death. The point is: moves are being made people (wait who's my audience again? Oh yeah, no one). Moves are being made politically, economically; locally, nationally, internationally. For every corporate tax cut or executive bonus or HUGE FUCKING OIL SPILL for petes sake there is instantly created a web of secrecy and back dealings and paper trails behind them. And guess what? THEY ALL CHECK OUT. Not one Bush admin will likely ever go to jail, despite all the assumptions the liberal left might make or believe (as I do, namely that potentially law violating or at the least conflict of interest if not flat out corruption occurred and does occur, repeatedly, at all levels of government). And I'm not even that liberal people! I was raised in a pretty socially conservative home; religiously and politically relatively liberal, but it derived from a belief in Jesus Christ as Lord the Son of God. Which looking back that is really all I have in common with nearly every other denominational branch of Christianity, excepting the Quakers, Brethren, Mennonites and maybe the Amish generally and anyone rational enough to believe in social justice, equality and the "message" of Jesus, specifically. The point is: I don't necessarily believe in the historicity of Jesus the man. What he said was exceptionally profound, unless he was merely the talking head figurine of the previously dominant religion (Judaism) hell-bent on a submissive and manipulatable "lesser" sect of the same monotheistic belief. Either way the "right" or whoever is actually in control (or initiating the chaos more like it) is doing what they want at an alarming rate and in a skilled and tactical manner. The rationalism and high ideals of the left is drowning in the swamp of the low tact and subterfuge of the (corporate backed?) right who can so easily call on patriotism and nationalism and fear and hyperbole to blow to pieces decades of hard work by millions of honest and hard working people. Because let's face it: BP is going to shirk all responsibility for the blame for the spill and why not? So will halliburton and the company that did the repairs and who wouldn't? Politically, socially, economically, it's a game. If its anything like chess (and I'm proposing that it is) then you can't stop and look back at your lost rook (for example) but you need to plan ahead a course of action to take your opponents rook or his knight or his queen. It's an all out war against the environment against the poor against the weak and the slow, and rightly so. Ignoring the obvious evolutionary comparisons that could be made here, the government had a responsibility to look out for its citizens and it failed. Intentionally. It wanted more than the fame of publicly held office and the history books. Government became big business and it resides by the bottom line: get money and fuck bitches. If you're a bitch then you don't deserve that slice of land (not my views, my interpretation of the world's view). I'm not saying I know anything here..I'm saying for every lie Fox news spits there's another one right around the corner. Jon Stewart and Colbert are wasting their time correcting every doggone error and flawed journalist tactic; they aren't going to stop. They need stopped where it hurts. They need outwitted. WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THE FUTURE. PEOPLE. IT'S US VERSUS THEM. THE PEOPLE VS THE POWER. Good day.
