"Like a Song of Love that Clings to Me" [Nat King Cole]

Nigel-Wright Intra-galactic Relations #6

(K)ehkashan: Daddy? What will become of Bibi Saano’s sons and daughters and their children’s children? India and Pakistan are not the rivals they are portrayed to be in the media, the politicians in these countries are corrupt. Like the Republican Party in the United States today, the newspapers and magazines and Google News—How can Fox News and Breitbart be considered in the same category as Mother Jones and USA Today?—pitting everyday people against their own good judgment.     

(D)addy Anwar: I have no answer, Love. I too worry about Bibi Sanoo’s descendants being left to suffer alongside the Indus River Valley farmland they call home and the major Indo-Pak cities where they work as, essentially, indentured servants. There are harsh ramifications that the world is facing as a result of the Republican Party’s completely taking over both houses of the United States Congress due to the lowest voter turnout in United States history last year.     

(P)ape Harry: Of course, the Republican Party insists on voter restrictions and then interpreting the low voter turnout as representative of the American people. And the media is choosing to submit to the Republican Party as if it is immobile and dumbstruck. Look at the decline in journalistic standards at The Atlantic, where President George Walker Bush 41’s speechwriter David Frum is promoting war pastimes and global dissention amongst nations by perverting the literary works of Herman Wouk, whom he titles as The Great War Novelist America Forgot.      

(K)ehkashan: Papa? What’s to become of US if George Clooney’s barrister wife Amal Alamuddin Clooney is being declared by New York Magazine as The Consummate Feminist Superhero? I mean, she is, after all, Julian Assange’s attorney. I guess in the world according to the Republican Party of the United States, you can fight for a sexual predator like Julian Assange and be considered a human rights attorney regardless. If American voters choose not to turn out and vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton next year, the Republican Party is going to take my generation’s reproductive freedom and healthcare by making a mess out of sexual assault charges on top of that abortion bill Representative John Boehner’s Congress passed in the House last week. Like Amal Alamuddin Clooney defending Assange and Sweden’s Chief Public Prosecutor Eva Finne’s dismissing charges of rape and molestation against the creepy predator, the United States of America will also succumb to the wrath of another creepy predator, sitting on its Supreme Court – Clarence Thomas – and his rightwing, Citizens United, Bush-defending accomplices Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito. Who knows how many venereal diseases will be lost on the courts in the United States, as was the case against Assange, the two women who brought forth the rape charges contracting the exact same sexually transmitted disease from their perpetrator, but the Swedish police never carrying through an investigation via blood testing Assange.

(P)apa Harry: You’re deeply sad, Darling. Let’s let Daddy figure out a plan of action to get us back up from the brinks of hopelessness and into some bursts of happiness.

(D)addy Anwar: Your anguishing is unbearable, Love. How about a trip to the TCU campus? We can park near the Kroger over there and walk the entire length of the track around the university.  

(K)ehkashan: I’m not interested in some bursts of happiness! It’s raining outside and I’d rather cry anyways! I’m really hurting and think the biker gang violence in Waco, Texas over the weekend was a deliberate move by the Republican Tea GOP to bring in a new era of politically divided campuses and homegrown terror on the motorways. Grampa and Grammom met, married, and were professors at Baylor University, the first of many academic institutions to be located off that one highway that leads to the University of Texas at Austin and San Antonio onwards.    

(D)addy Anwar: Okay. How about just hanging out at the bookstore? Hunter Davies wrote a bestseller about the Beatles’ lyrics titled just that, The Beatles Lyrics, last year. He brings up an interesting perspective about John and Paul and George’s first years together as part of The Quarrymen. Their passion as musicians flourished after their big breakthrough in 1963. But they stuck together through everything, including their individual and collective growth as a nascent band touring all parts of England and, later, cultural icons and megastar sophisticates who embraced diversity and humanity in all forms and fashions.   

(P)apa Harry: Wait a minute. Darling? How was the biker gang violence in Waco over the weekend intentional?

(K)ehkashan: The Republican Tea GOP is trying hard to sell the Democrats as being the same as the Republicans. But underground, they are maligning the United States Constitution, especially the parts concerning militias, in their quest to privatize all forms of government in the United States, federal and state, by creating tensions and terrors through the Press Corps depicting the White House through prejudicial lenses that they really believe History will not hold them accountable for because they will have torn down all government structures and diplomatic alliances upon President Jeb Bush and VP Marco Rubio taking over the White House in 2016 and destroying all evidence through the United States Press Corps’ rightwing-slanted writing and reporting on the current administration’s innovative and painstakingly brilliant designs concerning nonviolent intervention methods in domestic and foreign affairs.      

(P)apa Harry: President Jeb Bush and VP Marco Rubio? I think I’d rather cry too if I had such a dreadful outlook on 2016. All generations will have to come out and vote in 2016 to get rid of such a malignancy as a Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio combination of jackasses presiding over this nation of promise and potential because of a rotting national press corps creating scenarios that are propagandist falsehoods about government reach and responsibility.    

(D)addy Anwar: Going back to the Hunter Davies chronicle of Beatles lyrics, he brings up a point that had me thinking about teardrops and shameful societal constructs a couple of moments back when you were upset.

(K)ehkashan: I still am!

(D)addy Anwar: Of course! Rightly so! Nevertheless, Hunter Davies brings to light the phenomenon of the skiffle that got me thinking about free speech and self-expression and group dynamics. A skiffle was essentially spontaneous music-making that just happened at the spur of the moment, without any need for the musician to use instruments and know how to read and write musical notes. It was a great premise as so far as John and Paul were untrained music lovers with an ear for tunes and a sense of humor that really helped their music thrive as long as it has, Davies mentioning that the release of their albums today causes an even greater commotion than they did when they were originally released.   

(P)apa Harry: A skiffle?

(K)ehkashan: I finally have a word to describe my use of pots and pans to make sounds as a toddling tot?

(P)apa Harry: Maybe?

(D)addy Anwar: The point is the karaoke speech bar that the CEO of Starbucks was promoting earlier this year could have been a tidal wave in shifting the group dynamics that exist as a result of the top 1% having a hold over 38% of total private wealth in the United States and the bottom 90% having a hold of over 73% of the total debt in turn.    

(K)ehkashan: A karaoke speech bar at Starbucks? Didn’t Huffington Post and the Daily Beast writers basically obliterate the idea, of people from all walks of life being given a platform with a microphone in a coffee shop, immediately upon its proposal? And, by the way, the music service TIDAL is cheap and lame, choosing not to stream the video from Prince’s “Rally 4 Peace” concert on Sunday, May 10, 2015. I just hope video from that brief but brave concert will be made available sometime soon by Live Nation Entertainment. Which makes me think of Bibi Saano’s offspring and the generations of oppression they continue facing. When Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush claim Russia and China are autocratic and that the United States needs to be feared, not revered as it is right now under President Obama’s Administration of diplomacy and transparency, don’t the American people understand that Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio are wanting to take us back into the past in order to wipe out regulations and the country’s treasury that reported an April 2015 budget surplus?   

(D)addy Anwar: Bibi Saano cannot come to the United States of America as we did back in the 1970s. The prospect is not even on her radar. I take that back! The prospect is there but she is not financially capable of contemplating such a possibility if Indo-Pak is mired with graver unrest if American voters refuse to show up to the polling places in 2016 and, hence, apathetically butcher the helpless worldwide. The refugee crises right now are being handled compassionately, but with a Republican Party candidate in the White House, apathetic American voters will be reading about deaths of the destitute in countries across the globe. There will be countless mass graves.  

(P)apa Harry: But with the United States Press Corps slanting towards the Republican Party, those atrocities will be sealed for several generations. Did you know that there were harsh immigration restrictions in place in the United States that kept those of the Jewish faith from seeking shelter in our nation way before the Holocaust? Likewise, writings addressing the concentration camps did not enter the mainstream American conscious until the 1970s. The 1970s were also when Lev Vygotsky was being rediscovered for his genius and reconsidered for full academic standing alongside Piaget and Erikson and Bandura, although he had died at the age of 37 on June 11, 1934.

(K)ehkashan: Amal Alamuddin Clooney is a casualty of talent because of greed. She makes me cringe because this past January she launched an effort to get the Armenian Genocide of 1915 recognized by deniers like the current Turkish Government, but in  2012 wrote a convoluted piece, available through Wikipedia, about technicalities of the United Nations Security Council and the International Criminal Court that made me conclude in wonder, Amal Alamuddin Clooney is creating physical danger for displaced persons seeking refuge in Turkey today through intentionally mistimed actions that will only further sever ties between the three Abrahamic religions in the Middle East. Amal Clooney is an opportunistic mis-handler of justice.
