BAD NEWS AT THE END OF A DOOMED MISTAKE OF A PRESIDENCY…
ISRAEL IS STILL BURNING, WHAT PALESTINIANS?…GAS UP NOW
…BUSINESS AS USUAL IN CHICAGO…RUSSIA STILL WANTS AMERICA TO CRUMBLE…GOOD LUCK BARACK…
The past year of our absent lord, Two Thousand and Eight, in this sliding American landscape will forever stand as a period of upheaval and an outrageous changing of the guards in my mind and in the written history of the great recorder. For nearly a year now I have been humping a personal crusade in the name of inner plight and restlessness with the ultimate goal that the wild road will lead me to one of those mythical crossroads of self-discovery. Well folks, whether I have reached that utopian sense of purpose and meaning, or not, in this senseless 21st Century is as obvious as the fact that the American flag will forever be seen as tinder or toilet paper around the world. Except maybe behind the thick walls of Israeli government and military buildings with US embassies next door.
The airwaves are buzzing with news that Israel is putting the hammer down on those pesky native Palestinians that are still hanging around in the ghettos that they have been herded into and raped of their homeland in the name of the Holy soil and the long lasting allowance from the US to methodically dislocate and kill them off. The hub of the US oil wheel is on fire in the Gaza Strip, and waves of terror are rippling through the region while crude oil has already gone up $5 a barrel. Not even president-elect Obama will be able pull our oil splattered flag out of the Middle East before it burns to ashes just like it appears everything else in that implosive corner of the globe will eventually do. Unfortunately the region is tragically doomed and as a Nation we are invested over our heads and there is little room for hope in any sense. How’s that for a ray of sunshine on the last day of this year? Well, there is no sunshine in Portland at the ass end of December anyway…
With Obama on his way into the shit-storm that billows through Washington, Blagojevich is carrying the torch of corrupt Illinois politics by selling off the senate seat left open. Latest word out of the windy city is that they think everyone will forget about it if they slide another African American into his place. It is becoming clear that the long trail for crooked politicians may end in Washington, but it leads back winding to the corners of America and eventually to places like Crawford, Texas and Chicago, Illinois.
From Russia, an ex-KGB analyst and professor is predicting that in less than two (2) years America will fall into a splintering civil war fueled by economic collapse, all-out class war and intervening action by surrounding countries. His eerie predictions include the entire east coast bought out by the European Union, China will take the west, the central and northern plains states will absorb into Canada, Mexico will re-take the south, and Alaska will be conquered by Russia. The stone-faced prophecy gives a terrifying glimpse into a vague and frightening future where nothing is certain or safe in the disintegrating American system.
If that’s the news today, then tomorrow it will undoubtedly be worse, and who knows what the hell will be happening in 21 days when Barack is sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. Indeed, there is change in the air, but unless Hope smells like burning oil that wafts in clouds from the Middle East and from Wall Street, there sure isn’t much to be optimistic about when the bell tolls midnight.
HAPPY NEW YEAR,
JOHN DICK
