It was 50 years ago today that Bloody
Sunday happened in Selma Alabama. My wife asked me the question on
why have attitudes not really changed in fifty years whereas cars, computers,
televisions, cameras, telephones have improved so much? The simple answer
to her question is that the greed and fear of people are as they were when we
were all living in caves. The complex answer to her question is as
follows:
While we all think we live in a country
of equal opportunity and where “they will not be judged by the color of their
skin but the content of their character”, we simply do not live in that
utopia. The complex answer actually has to with the Complex.
Yes, the Military Industrial Congressional Complex.
The Complex is far more entrenched in
owning and running America in 2015 than it was in 1965. The
disparity in wages between the CEO and the workers is far greater in 2015 than
it was in 1965. President Eisenhower warned in 1961 of the
Complex. Martin Luther King Jr. had dreams in 1963 and marched in
1965. The Complex had more than dreams; they had the power and used it to
get even more power.
The Complex actually is no longer lily
white as it was in 1965; instead, it is now a global Complex of all shades. And, its basic operation remains the same:
the sinister control of elected officials, unelected officials, and civil
servants to extract as much wealth as they can from the rest of
mankind. The complex has gone beyond the color of the skin and as
long as the content of your character is sinister you are welcomed into the
Complex. Colin Powell, Condi Rice, and Vinod Khosla all have
non-white skins. Yet, they are members of the Complex, together with
Halliburton, Walmart, Al Gore, John Doerr, Jamie Diamon, Dick Cheney, and the Clintons.
Eisenhower would never have thought Algeria and the Saudis would fund a former
president’s foundation to the tune of millions. But this is what has
happened. The global Complex at work. The Clintons at work.
Martin Luther King Jr. is far above
this all. He is still a beacon of hope and Selma is the bridge to
hope. What is needed is that the people simply don’t take nonsense
anymore. The people in Ferguson were wrong to accuse just one officer for
premeditated murder, but were 100% right to demand justice and an honest police
force and municipal court system. Attorney General Holder was
eloquent and brilliant, and I applaud him and his department.
Unfortunately, his boss is beholden to the Complex and is part of the
Complex.
Both Doerr and Khosla have hosted to the president to dinners,
to bend his ears and to raise money for him and his party. Doerr and
Khosla have extracted hundreds of millions of dollars of our money with fake
green science, gangrene, technology and fake green promises. Doerr and
Khosla are no different than the cops in Selma Alabama 50 years ago or the
police force and municipal court in Ferguson today. They have this
arrogant attitude that they are always correct, know better than all, have
power, and are entitled to extract fortunes for fraudulent gangrene junk.
I intend to ask the next US AG to investigate the DOJ of Delaware and the
entire State Government in Delaware on the BLOOMDOGGLE. The BLOOMDOGGLE
is a daily bank robbery of over $100,000 each and every day in Delaware from
the poor ratepayers of DELMARVA Power. The BLOOMDOGGLE is orchestrated by
Al Gore, Colin Powell, and John Doerr. They promised clean,
reliable, and affordable power. Instead, they delivered dirty, unreliable,
and exorbitantly expensive power. They screwed the poor ratepayers
of DELMARVA Power. The police force and municipal court in Ferguson
promised to obey the constitution. The sad reality is that they delivered
corrupt government.
If Martin Luther King Jr were alive
today, he would be saddened to see the State of our Union. Racist cops
still use dogs on people of color, and the multicolored Complex have leashes
and collars around the necks of our government officials, from the First State
all the way to the Yellowhammer State. Interesting that Alabama is the
Yellowhammer state and Sulfur is yellow. My hope is that people of all
color really focus on the content of the character of those who lead us and whom
we elect. If Hillary Clinton is nominated for her party to be their
candidate for president, I would say she does not deserve the job based on the
content of her character. I do believe that Martin Luther King Junior
looked down on Eric Holder two days ago and was proud of Holder’s eloquent and frank speech, that exonerated the one officer doing his job, and yet indicted the
entire Ferguson police force and municipal court for systematically depriving people of their civil rights.
There is no fundamental difference
between the State Government of Delaware and its DOJ and the police force and
municipal court in Ferguson. They all methodically deprive common folks
of their civil rights. Stephen Hawking said “we are just an advanced
breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star but, we can
understand the Universe. That makes us “something special.”
Folks, we are special; we want social, economic, and environmental justice for
all the monkeys on this minor planet. We understand the Universe
and the Complex.
The simple answer may be that it was
far easier to understand how to make microelectronic chips or to make cars,
computers, TVs, and phones better than it is to stop human greed and
fear. The complex answer is that Complex does not want a society based
upon the contents of one’s character unless of course one shares the same
sinister desire to subjugate people. If we rid ourselves of the
Complex, the answer again will be simple: that we are all special and we
understand the Universe. Stephen Hawking also said “entropy
increases in time as we measure time in the direction entropy increases.”
I would rephrase this that “The Complex increases in time as we measure time in
the direction that the Complex increases.” Let’s call a total time
out on who is running the show. It is We The People!!!
Let’s pause for a moment and remember
Selma. Then, let’s end all BLOOMDOGGLES and crimes against humanity and
nature, all the way from Selma to Sand Hill Road. Sand Hill Road is the
Selma of 2015.
