Man! Dude! Session #343

(M)an: Dude! Karachi, Pakistan has succumbed to such severely high temperatures due to climate fluctuations that at least two hundred folks are dying every day from dehydration and heatstroke. But no one inside Pakistan’s government nor at The New York Times has put the pieces of this conundrum together, the main point being that it is Ramadan and people all over Pakistan are fasting, even laborers who carry enormous weight upon their bodies all day long with an enormous heavyhearted determination to endure the test of faith regardless of the conditions set outside.

(D)ude: Man! Their will power is commendable! Their survival in peril due to the awful heat wave that is unlike any Karachi, Pakistan has faced before, laborers deserve paid leave of absence from work during religious observances. The Muslim Clerics in Pakistan ought to pick up this issue immediately because countless underclass women and children will be widowed and orphaned as a result of their male household breadwinners dying due to the fatalistic combination of Dawn until Dusk Fasting and going to work full-time as well in such brutal weather conditions.   

M: Dude! The Pakistani Government and Muslim Clerics need to do something fast and not wait! People will be fasting until the weekend of Friday, July 17, 2015, the day when Muslims will  begin to observe the official concluding event of Fasting during Ramadan, which is Eid-ul-Fitr, the “Feast of Breaking the Fast” and I believe N. J. Dawood’s translation of The Koran addresses Fasting regulations which entail compassionate emergency mandates in case a Muslim finds himself or herself in deathly conditions like the weather-related disconcerting crisis facing Pakistan’s healthcare industry, fourteen thousand people having been hospitalized thus far in Karachi, the death toll reaching one thousand yesterday according to the New York Times article by Saba Imtiaz and Zia ur-Rehman.

D: Man! You know, all acts of terrorism are representative of a misplaced superiority complex somewhere in the mind of the perpetrator, whether that perpetrator be the GOP or ISIL. Both organizations have a shared perspective of the world being only reasonable if its’ inhabitants are fearful of the GOP or, the case of the two organizations connected intimately with the GOP since George Herbert Walker Bush and his scion George Walker Bush, al-Qaeda and ISIL.

M: Dude! Dawood’s translation of The Koran clearly identifies God as the only entity to be feared yet compassionate and merciful too, going so far as to give absolution to those who cannot carry out the specifics entailed within “The Recital.” Take the surah, or chapter, entitled “The Table” in Dawood’s translation of the Muslim Holy Book,

“He that is constrained by hunger to eat of what is forbidden, not intending to commit sin, will find God forgiving and merciful.” (page 79 from the paperback version)

“God does not wish to burden you; He seeks only to purify you and to perfect His favor to you, so that you may give thanks.” (page 80)

D: Man! Dawood’s translation also affirms in the surah which translates as “The Table” that,

“He that denies the Faith shall gain nothing from his labors. In the world to come he will surely be among the losers.” (page 80 as well)

M: Dude! That’s where Muslim Clerics come into significance as learned Koranic scholars.

Man! Dude! Session #342

(D)ude: Man! With all the floods hitting communities across the United States, why can’t the Army Corps of Engineers transport the rain water to drought areas? I was reading about Kevin Costner’s patent concerning innovative machinery that separates water and oil, which got me thinking about the water and oil crises right now. And, speaking of another kind of patent, what will become of my fellow childhood sufferers with patent ductus arteriosus and other congenital deficits needing repair if the Supreme Court and Senate of the United States rebuke the Affordable Care Act and refute patient-oriented healthcare to the 16 million Americans currently covered because of it and the millions awaiting to enroll in future marketplaces?  

(M)an: Dude! The Citizens United ruling by the Supreme Court in 2010 was worse than the communism scare that President Eisenhower and then-Vice President Nixon purported the United States into quite methodically in the late nineteen fifties of the twentieth century and into the fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties thereafter. And don’t forget how Reagan ushered in the threat of terrorism to take the place of the communism scare and Cold War lingo jingo. Of course, President Clinton did nothing despite the eminent threat to the homeland by Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda affiliates in the nineteen nineties. And now Hillary Rodham Clinton is aligning with Jeb Bush’s campaign lingo jingo of barbaric hawkishness in foreign policy affairs.  

D: Man! Hillary Rodham Clinton is wanting to wage war with Russian President Putin. Meanwhile, Jeb Bush and the big tent coalition of GOP candidates running for the presidential primaries in order to attract voters to the sounder stupidities of Jeb Bush, have seriously convinced themselves that President Obama has no strategy in Afghanistan and Iraq or anywhere in the world.

M: Dude! That is not true, given that President Obama’s strategies have encompassed effective sanctions against Russia, and postmodern warfare in which our sons and daughters in uniform are devising war plans that are continuously updated and too fast for the type of ground combat that Jeb Bush and the GOP candidates insist upon with sincere ignorance and a plainspoken stupidity that ought to be alarming American Voters to start enrolling for their voter registration cards and other forms of identification needed in their states to vote in the 2016 Elections.  

D: Man! Traditional ground forces are of the last millenniums, special operations forces are the way forward everyday to a twenty-first century tomorrow with bright horizons for people all over the globe. Our sons and daughters in uniform deserve so much more when they return home from service. They are the greatest generation ever always, still in the process of redefining military operations in such diverse environments due to globalization. The Citizens United ruling by the Supreme Court in 2010 basically fizzled out all hopes of providing our current and future generations of youth the democratic gifts of a growing middle class and brilliantly mainstreamed military cushioning their dreams and comforting their safety concerns, the two fostering innovation and creativity.  

M: Dude! The American Middle Class gives cushion to aspirations and idealism, a basic kindness and love for all humanity in its entirety. With the upper 2% of earners dealing the hand that sustains our nation in an overall cultural downgrade, the rest of US 98% facing a middle class extinction while falling into the underclass if not poverty-level existence, the United States of America is in danger of becoming obsolete. At best, the billionaire donors—who are running the country essentially to loot the federal government for their own personal financial gains while providing George and Amal Clooney yet another Architectural Digest opportunity to tastelessly fill up yet another mansion wherever in the world of their liking—will have their own private oasis of cartels and assassinations, like in Narendra Modi’s India right now.   

D: Man! Prime Minister Narendra Modi is spreading Islamophobia in India and surrounding countries like Bangladesh, where he declared that Pakistan,

“constantly disturbs India, creates nuisance, promotes terrorism and such incidents keep recurring.”

M: Dude! Narendra Modi is a genocidal monstrosity brought to power by the American GOP! Look him and his BJP colleagues up and you will find comments that basically mirror the GOP’s feverishly pitched platform for plausible boots on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan if they take control of the White House in 2016 with assistance from Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign, basically a fraudulent Teabag Democrat enterprise deserving investigation, particularly since the Clinton Global Initiative partied after the sweeping 2014 midterm loss by the Democrats. President Clinton is the godson of the Bushes, tweeting out a photograph of himself reading Bush 41’s biography by Bush 43. What happened to the Hillary Rodham Clinton who refused to follow Tammy Wynette anthems like Stand By Your Man? She even convinced her aide Huma Abedin to stand by her husband-embarrassment Anthony Weiner!      

D: Man! BJP Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar said the following on Sunday, June 14, 2015,

“In the past, when there was a letter from a military commanding officer to an IAS officer or any other authority, it received attention of the highest order. Today, that respect has diminished... One reason is that for 40-50 years, we have not fought a war. I am not saying we should go to war. I am saying that because we haven't fought a war, the importance of the Army in our minds has dwindled.”

M: Dude! No wonder Narendra Modi decided to hold a yogi demonstration in front of the presidential palace in New Delhi, India on Sunday, June 21, 2015! He’s attempting to misuse the ancient meditative practice into a political move to isolate the conservatism of practitioners of Islam. He is instituting sectarianism and implying Hinduism as the only nationally recognized identification in India. Narendra Modi is doing what Benazir Bhutto’s father instituted in Pakistan in the seventies: declaring his party to be representative of the citizenry to the point of calling it the People’s Party and then carefully infiltrating colleges and universities with underground thugs who pretended to be students on campuses although they were carefully instructed to get the leading scholars addicted to drugs in order to degrade intellectual standards of Pakistani society. The GOP and its NRA branch are doing the same in the United States of America by allowing students to carry handguns on public college and university campuses beginning this fall.     

D: Man! The GOP can only recreate the horrors of history for their own financiers’ financial benefit. Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio and Rand Paul and Ron Paul all think about the presidency with inherent shamelessness of what their Republican colleagues at all levels of government have basically squandered due to declarations that climate change scientists are bogus while Bible-thumping. Imagine how many organ transplantations have been dangerously delayed or postponed due to the unpredictable floods and snowfalls across the country. Imagine if Dick Cheney had died as a result of not getting his heart transplant in time due to severe weather conditions making travel impossible for the teams of doctors and nurses needed for such procedures.      

M: Dude! Then Sheldon Adelson and David Koch would have Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, and Ron Paul convinced otherwise. Aren’t these GOP candidates scoundrels? Dirty and rotting sellouts, like Teabag Democrat Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri!

D: Man! Money worshippers with absolute no claim on Christianity as their saving grace. House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell might as well get in a van with the male injustices of the Supreme Court and head on out to the Louisianan Bayou and attend Jimmy Swaggart’s wife’s show starring their intellectual equivalent, thus sophomoric son Donnie Swaggart.

M: Dude! If the American Middle Class and Military Veterans were given the entitlements and benefits that are rightfully theirs, then Adelson and Koch would be faced with so much intellectual competition and the world would move so much more efficiently and effectively! The Middle Class and Military contain men and women who surpass all circumstances and challenges and Adelson and Koch are petrified of seeing their fortunes stumble or stagnate as a result of our government empowering our dreamers and warriors to soldier on beyond their potentials and strengths.

D: Man! The United States Military is not being given the chance to design 21^st Century infrastructure for all of US! The United States Congress has had six months to prove itself but all they’ve arbitrated is failure after failure. Just look at a map of the United States and identify the trouble spots and see the overwhelming Republican Majority in those trouble spots. The Republican Party is incredulous to the fact that they will be marred when the time to evaluate their incompetency nears. And the International Press Corps will realize not to follow the United States Press Corps nor give our journalists any accolades because it was this same sellout American Press Corps that allowed for the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK, Jr., and X. The United States and the World deserve a lot better news coverage. The Middle Class and Military Veterans across the world are better informed with TV Asia News than the conglomerate degenerates NBC, ABC, and CBS.

   

Man! Dude! Session #341

(M)an: Dude! Beau Biden’s passing has crushed American heartstrings. 

(D)ude: Man! The numbing shock sustained due to so much unbearable pain has indeed crushed our heartstrings. 

M: Dude! Steve Jobs’ passing crushed heartstrings with such severity. Beau Biden and Steve Jobs were rare and precious husbands and fathers taken way too soon from their families as well as selfless and kind gentlemen with the physics and soul essentials to change tomorrows for the betterment of all humanity.

D: Man! Regarding changing tomorrows for the betterment of all humanity, what’s keeping Representative Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats from passing the trade adjustment assistance provision giving fast track authority to President Obama?  

M: Dude! President Obama managed to get US out of the Great Recession of 2008. From the time of President Obama’s inaugural on January 21 to June and July of 2009, he oversaw the recovery efforts that brought US back from the brinks of financial ruin. President Obama has no personal wealth interests when it comes to serving our nation and sons and daughters in uniform as Commander in Chief, a major nuance for Representative Nancy Pelosi of California and the House Democrats such as Representative Peter DeFazio of Oregon.

D: Man! A major nuance sounds likely, given that Nancy Pelosi and Peter DeFazio are Teabag Democrats wanting to inflict animosity upon the President of the United States from outside Congress, given his popularity amongst everyday Americans. I’m still trying to collect all the refrigerator magnets with pictures of the First Lady and President Obama for my nieces and nephews. But they have been sold out at the local retailers for months! And this is the case in Fort Worth, Texas! With all the gerrymandering and voting restrictions in place in Tarrant County, it should come as no surprise that Greg Abbott is Governor of Texas and our municipal golf courses have been left unkempt until recently, now that Tarrant County is converting the municipal golf courses into fracking sites.      

M: Dude! The trade adjustment assistance program provision allows President Obama to continue assistance for workers, firms, farmers, and communities displaced by global trade, through the U.S. Departments of Labor, Agriculture, and Commerce. Pelosi and DeFazio have essentially obliterated the provision which seeks to reinstate American workers back into the United States economy. But, then again, DeFazio has been blind sighted by the two-percenter Minority Leader Pelosi who is worth at least 58 million dollars and cannot possibly relate to typical American workers like you and me.  

D: Man! President Obama’s Administration is trying hard to be person-centered in its approach to global trade policy. Minority Leader Pelosi is spearheading selfishly for, in her own words, “a better deal for American workers” albeit that American workers are going to be shouldering the brunt of the responsibility to recover from any and all the grave consequences of the compassionate Commander in Chief not being given the go-ahead by the millionaire Minority Leader Pelosi, to redefine the trade industry once and for all humanity as he did in getting our country back on track after the Great Recession that was being postponed until the inevitable demise of the structure in which non-depository banks were making enough to rival depository financial systems due to there being no regulations for the non-depository banks as there were for the depository financial systems.

M: Dude! Can that be said another way?

D: Man! Of course! Yes! The inevitable demise of an institutional structure in which non-depository financial systems were making enough to rival depository banks due to there being no regulations set in place for the non-depository financial systems as there were for the depository banks.
