Dreams Restricting Flight?!?!?

(D)ude: Man! Thank goodness for the FAA! The Federal Aviation Administration made the registration of drones mandatory beginning December 21, 2015.

(M)an: Dude! Drones that are used for business purposes have already started registering with the FAA. On the other hand, drones that are termed “hobbyist”—or utilized for, I guess you could call it play or recreational purposes—are now mandated to register with the FAA?   

D: Man! Yes! According to cnet dot com [cnet.com], there were 238 cases of drone abuse in the United States last year. Shockingly, that number has climbed substantially since then, with 1,113 cases of misuse having been reported already in 2015! It’s the holiday season and I’m concerned for pilots and their passengers. Folks are buying their children such devices, which I consider irresponsible parenting. Drones are not suitable for people under the age of, at least, twenty-one. And the repercussions for disrupting pilots’ visions as they’re flying should involve assault charges and incarceration as punishment for the operators of such devices.      

M: Dude! I totally agree! In fact, I was impressed with the recent Beethoven Google doodle that succeeded in familiarizing my nieces and nephews with reading musical compositions. It was a tough, intellectual exercise but entirely entertaining nevertheless for me as well. It got me thinking about Google glasses, specifically why hasn't Google availed the opportunity to make its glasses accessible to solving problems like obstructionist radar beams disrupting the vision of aircraft operators?

D: Man! And the unpredictable weather conditions that endanger our precious emergency medical professionals when they are taking patients to and fro facilities via helicoptered care flights! Why can’t Google glasses protect against the natural elements that make visibility an added issue of grave concern for our care flight teams? Surgeons from South America to South Asia are utilizing Google glasses to enhance their practice and instructional methodologies. Nepal is already a front runner in the pursuit to change the way medical expertise is rendered through the utilization of Google glasses beginning in medical school.

M: Dude! Silicon Valley needs to take action regarding the international threats facing the world in this volatile millennium. Hillary Rodham Clinton made reference to the Manhattan Project and how she would coalesce the great minds of today in a similar fashion to the issues of cyberspace security and decrypting encryption. However, I am greatly concerned for the United States of America under a Clinton 45 (Hillary) or Bush 45 (Jeb) presidency. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Jeb Bush are detrimental to our democracy, as are the Republican National Committee Tea Partiers and the Democratic National Committee Teabags. Reince Priebus and Debbie Wasserman Schultz are interchangeable at this stage of the 2016 presidential election cycle. Reince Priebus and the Republican Party have falsely promised Debbie Wasserman Schultz that they will never challenge her seat in the United States Congress, if she complies by stifling the debate scheduling so that Hillary Rodham Clinton goes uncontested in the Democratic Primaries. Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley are far more courageous and authentic than the artificial Hillary Rodham Clinton, a covert Republican operative just like her husband.

D: Man! What do we do? Where do we go?

M: Dude! There has to be a revolutionary movement in the United States of America where people realize their power to vote not as a privilege, but a lifeline for the desperate and disenfranchised that is essentially dying as we speak as a result of the terrible voter turnout in 2010 and 2014. But, of course, this involves registering to vote way ahead of the Presidential Election in the United States, which will be held Tuesday, November 8, 2016. Charlotte Gordon’s dual biography of Mary Wollstonecraft and her daughter Mary Godwin Shelley touches on the issue of sovereignty and nation building in Europe and North America in the late 1700s and the early 1800s, the basic argument and concern of the Europeans being that American Democracy could only survive if generations of its’ citizenry remained conscious of their responsibility to be informed participants in that grand experiment, which was the United States.

D: Man! Didn’t the French Revolution leave France incapacitated like Germany was left incapacitated after both World Wars I and II?

M: Dude! Mary Godwin Shelley’s husband takes her, and her stepsister Jane, on a romp through France and Switzerland at the start of their matrimonial woes. Celebratory at the start, convinced that they are the disciples of the late Mary Wollstonecraft, the trio anticipate a post-revolutionary France awaiting them with open doors and a livelihood for Percy Shelley, but only find desolation and poverty at every doorstep.       

D: Man! Percy Shelley couldn’t find a publisher in London?

M: Dude! He was a wild and controversial soul in England, having left his first wife, expecting their second child, for Mary Godwin Shelley, and leaving Mary Shelley momentarily during her pregnancies as well. Their descendants made sure all journal entries betraying Percy Shelley’s and Mary Godwin Shelley’s fidelity and celebrated love story, were torn out and disposed of for eternity. And his significant literary works came after he had wed Mary Godwin. She was always a trusted intellectual colleague, Percy Shelley proclaiming her “originality” as the driving force behind their relationship.    

D: Man! Have you read Gloria Steinem’s latest memoir, My Life on the Road?

M: Dude! Yeah? Didn’t you think it was choppy compared to her previous books?

D: Man! Gloria Steinem spent 18 years constructing her latest tour de force, but it is choppy. You know, I found out the reason why it is lacking watching Steinem’s interview on PBS with Charlie Rose. According to Steinem herself, her editors at Random House took a proverbial machete and tore her latest masterpiece into incomplete shreds that left me wanting, and I bet I’m not alone in this assessment. Steinem must re-release this memoir with another publishing house and include those missing parts she had to depart with at Random House.

M: Dude! Random House? Everybody knows Simon and Schuster as being crusty conservative and the publisher of the Clintons’ memoirs, but Random House as well?  

D: Man! Of course! Jon Ellis Meacham is Random House’s exec editor and executive Vice President! Come on! Have you forgotten already? The guy wrote the latest entreaty biography of the Bushes titled Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush!  

M: Dude! Walter Isaacson, like Jon Ellis Meacham, seems enchanted by Jeb Bush, as does Joe Scarborough. Scarborough protects Jeb like a mother kangaroo keeps her joeys in her pouch. The American Press Corps and the Clintons and Bushes are conspiring against Russia right now in the same way they conspired against Iraq, wanting the major Western fossil fuel corporations to take over the oil infrastructure of the Russians as they did the Iraqis. Hillary Rodham Clinton is just as lethal to the health of the world economy as Jeb Bush. American voters need to make certain that they do not elect one more Clinton nor Bush.

D: Man! Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley are the antidote to Hillary Rodham Clinton’s artificiality and Jeb’s jabber.

M: Dude! Saddam and Iraq then, Putin and Russia now?

D: Man! That is, if you vote for either Clinton and Bush! But, fortunately, there are Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley!

Pushed into the open... Hillary Rodham Clinton & Democratic National Committee

(D)ude: Man! Muslims need to formally declare ISIL, or Daesh cutthroats as it is known in France, as infidels.

(M)an: Dude! France took a great leap of faith to entrust Muslim allies to properly define the terrorist monsters as what they truly are, Daesh, or destroyers and sowers of discord.

D: Man! But that’s not enough! The new Arab-led coalition in the Middle East needs to decree Daesh as kafir, or infidel. There is an Islamic Law componential known as takfir which involves excommunication from the Islamic faith, and this is the time for the Muslim World to unite in the fight against terrorism and take the lead by labeling Daesh as having committed mukaffir, in misidentifying Islam as being an intolerant and violent faith, hence Daesh is haram.  

M: Dude! This is the time to expunge all heretical monstrosities. Speaking of which, Frances Swaggart and her husband Jimmy Swaggart have been boasting about raising six million dollars for their evangelical television network that is broadcast worldwide. The husband and wife pairing and their co-hosts have been alluding to Babylon, claiming it’s second coming in the United States is just moments away.        

D: Man! Frances and Jimmy Swaggart probably were issued the six-million-dollar donation by an undisclosed Republican Party Super-PAC, for the purposes of continuing to exploit viewers’ anger, fear, and frustration in this age of deliberately manufactured uncertainties and devastations.

M: Dude! People are in fear of Jeb Bush and Hillary Rodham Clinton becoming the presidential candidates for the White House in 2016. And they have many concrete reasons to be afraid. The Bush and Clinton presidencies were treacherous. Yes, there was the Clinton 42 Surplus which Bush 43 swiftly dissolved after disintegrating American Society through the 9/11/01 terrorist massacre that boosted his plummeting approval ratings. Likewise, Clinton 42 disintegrated the former Yugoslavia via regime toppling and snobby distancing and indifference that proved genocidal for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and had roots in Reagan and Bush’s calculated errors abroad with the 1984 National Security Decision Directive NSDD 133 and the 1987 instatement of Slobodan Milosevic in Serbia.

D: Man! Don’t forget that the Croats and the Serbs were made into the fascist Ustase terrorism group during World War II by the Axis Powers which included Italy’s Mussolini and Germany’s Hitler and Japan’s Konoe.  

M: Dude! The wounds of many wars are being healed by Secretary John Kerry right now. Alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is also Leader of the Christian Democratic Union, a liberal-conservative political party that has membership in the European People’s Party and European Parliament, and the heart to extend a hand to the refugee populations coming into Europe from Syria primarily.

D: Man! The United States of America has a liberal-conservative mix of interests showing up as a direct result of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ compassionate and compellingly authentic message of uniting the working and middle classes across our great nation in 2016, whether discussing relevant Biblical Scripture at Liberty University, or getting the backing of a variety of workers’ unions.

M: Dude! Hillary Rodham Clinton states with a very disturbing laugh that cash is the answer in the Middle East, specifically referring to paying tribal Sheikhs.

D: Man! Debbie Wasserman Schultz has misleadingly instructed Hillary Rodham Clinton in utilizing laughter as a style of response. And I did not appreciate how Rodham Clinton laughed off responding formally to Lincoln Chaffee in the first debate and then walked onto the stage late during the third debate. This is that same undercurrent of arrogance which characterizes her husband and the Teabag Democrats and all the members of the Republican Neocon Bush Family Dynasty.  

M: Dude! She boasted about US buying the Sheikhs in that region of the world, but she missed the opportunity to tell of how overwhelmingly Sheikhs are beloved leaders inside Muslim communities who invest on behalf of the men and women and children they oversee. That the Sheikhs do not just pocket the cash themselves, but truly attempt to revitalize their communities that have been ravished and ravaged by warfare, which has a hard link to climate change uncertainties spurred by the Untied States Congress’ denial of the phenomenon altogether and refusal to provide the necessary funding of two billion dollars needed to sustain the economies of the countries that are providing refugee relief, like Turkey and Jordan for instance.  

D: Man! Instead, the United States Congress is misbehaving as a genocidal anchorage for international unrest by withholding funding of the United Nations’ Refugee Agency UNHCR.

M: Dude! The Sheikhs that Hillary Rodham Clinton refers to are misled by the American Republican Party’s opposition in the region. Senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain must be placed under surveillance, as should Senator Dianne Feinstein. Clinton and Feinstein are collaborating friends and the bad blood from the Clinton and both Bush presidencies are boiling hot in contempt towards the Obama and Biden transparency and Kerry’s painstakingly tough diplomacy efforts right now. If elected President of the United States, Hillary and Jeb both will sear the hard work put in to jumpstarting our economy by President Obama and the reconfiguring of our place in the world through diplomacy, not warfare, by Secretary Kerry.     

D: Man! Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush are mistakes that our country cannot afford to make again, and again and again.

M: Dude! Of course! Herbert Walker and Clinton and Walker Bush attempted an underhanded strategy of playing evil tactics with the Sheikhs in the Middle East.   

D: Man! How so?

M: Dude! They funded the Sheikhs discriminatingly and the Sheikhs did not fall for the evil tactics of either Bush nor Clinton, which was in the same strain of how the Reagan Administration discriminatingly sold arms in the region in the eighties. The Sheikhs were keener than expected, not falling for the strategy of the Bushes or Clinton. Unable to buy the Sheikhs for the intent to punish or topple a regime or regimes, the Bushes and Clinton then financially hired the Sheikhs’ opposition to disrespect and endanger their communities’ respective autonomy and that’s how terrorism came into existence in the Middle East.

Doomsday Megalomaniac Architects & 1968, Then and Today

(M)an: Dude! I know that what’s going on at Chipotle Restaurants is exactly what went wrong at Blue Bell Creameries. Due to lack of any adequate campaign finance reform because of John Roberts’ SCOTUS decision Citizens United in 2010, Republican Super-PACs are funding experimentations in how to get their Republican donors, like Sid Bass of Fort Worth, Texas, for example, to take considerable control of a business like Blue Bell Creameries. Right now, Sid Bass is projected to own 33% of the stock in Blue Bell Creameries by 2018.    

(D)ude: Man! What progressive sin did Blue Bell Creameries commit? Chipotle Restaurants committed the progressive sin of banning guns in all their establishments. But what must Blue Bell Creameries have done to come under the evil watchfulness of the dangerously discreet and dastardly Republicans?

M: Dude! The Republican Party in the United States of America is practicing how it will maneuver its political will after Donald Trump and/or Jeb Bush ascend into the White House through the very same means of ascension that got George Walker Bush the White House in 2000, through the Supreme Court comprised of far-right wingers like Alito, Scalia, and Thomas, who are so ridiculously partisan that American voters must take interest immediately in casting their ballots on Election Day, November 8, 2016 for Hillary Rodham Clinton and the Democratic Party, or suffer another Alito, Scalia, or Thomas-like anarchist being appointed to the highest court.

D: Man! Honestly, we’ve only got six legitimate justices on the Supreme Court right now! But going back to Chipotle and Blue Bell ice cream, I think that the two businesses are indicators to how the Republican Party does business via its Super-PACs, taking E. Coli and Listeria to these establishments themselves by buying insiders for anywhere between a few thousand dollars to several hundreds of thousands of dollars.    

M: Dude! Remember the Keystone XL Pipeline and the two hundred thousand dollar checks being rolled out to politicians to support that disastrous endeavor? Well, if the American Voter decides not to cast a ballot on or before  November 8, 2016, that American Voter will have essentially rendered  policies like genocidal warfare and more progressive businesses being overtaken by Republican Party donors underhandedly via corrupt methods as seen in the outbreaks of contamination at Blue Bell Creameries and Chipotle that were deliberately carried out by funding from Republican Super-PACs.

D: Man! Genocidal warfare? Corruption to such an extreme extent? Where’s the American Press Corps? Have the Republican donors and their Super-PACs bought American journalists as well? If so, then American journalism is tainted in a time of desperate need for the American Press Corps to take the side of the American public, the majority of whom embrace the middle and working classes that they represent in their hometowns and communities. But, as in 1968, the American Press Corps is foolishly refusing to exercise its investigative integrity, hence, making it really hard for the American Voter to watch the news without doubt and fear. It is that same doubt and fear instituted by the American Press Corps in 1968, when journalists across the USA looked the other way as Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. were assassinated, and the American Voter became apathetic and disconnected to the point that the Republican Party ticket won and ushered into power doomsday megalomaniac architects Richard Nixon and, among his significant others, Henry Kissinger. Right now, Donald J. Trump is borrowing heavily from the 1968 Republican presidential candidate Richard Nixon (the “silent majority” being part of Nixon’s slogan that particular year) and the 1980 Republican presidential candidate Ronald Reagan (“let’s make America great again” being part of Reagan’s campaign slogans then).  

M: Dude! The 1968 Democratic National Convention came in the time of calculated unrest and eventual violence financed by the Republican Party and exploited by the American Press Corps in the United States. I say calculated because candidate Nixon was—like the almost baker’s dozen of stale candidates right now competing with Donald J. Trump for the Republican presidential nomination—banking his chances on that tragic turbulence, which was orchestrated and financed by his political party. Incidentally, Mitt Romney’s father and Michigan Governor George Romney, New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller, and California Governor Ronald Reagan all ran in 1968’s Republican Primary alongside the senior partner from the law firm Nixon, Mudge, Rose, Guthrie & Alexander [Richard Nixon].    

D: Man! That tragic turbulence took the lives of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr.

M: Dude! Hence, costing generations of American Voters who came and cast their ballots and made Nixon president, and those who followed after that, their fair shake at betterment. Of course, right now we’ve got a culture of crisis where wealth is equivocated as the American dream ideal, which is misguided. The American dream ideal is having one’s civil liberties regardless of one’s societal placement in life, meaning that the working and middle classes build the United States’ foundation on which we not only thrive, but survive. Making a living has been thrown out with the bath water, and we’re programmed by American Media to vicariously prescribe to an attitude of ridiculous self consumption displayed by the top two-percent and maintain so little for ourselves and families, showers deemed as sufficient enough for the rest of the ninety-eight percent!

D: Man! That’s true and very sad!

M: Dude! What’s truly very sad is that, like Henry Kissinger, Arianna Huffington is seen as an intellectual powerhouse celebrity.

D: Man! Henry Kissinger and Arianna Huffington do exactly what Sofia Vergara does with Spanish and English in that all three descend into accented flusters and tussles when they go up against those who challenge their standpoints.  

M: Dude! That’s true and very sad. What are Sofia Vergara’s standpoints?

D: Man! Sofia Vergara is a shrewd businesswoman actress! Haven’t you seen the website and advertisements for the new Ninja Coffee Bar brewer?

"A time for peace, I swear it's not too late!" -The Byrds

(D)ude: Man! What happened to Rahm Emanuel?

(M)an: Dude! He has been politically booby-trapped by Teabag Democrats and the Republican Party of Illinois. Emanuel was totally genuine in his apology and must remain Mayor of Chicago. This is the 21^st Century, warfare and removal of Emanuel from office through protests is not safe in the long run. 

D: Man! Why is removal of Emanuel not safe?

M: Dude! The same dynamics hit Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri when the Ferguson protests erupted in violence. The Teabag Democrats and the Republicans in Missouri were trying to displace Claire McCaskill, a strong champion of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Likewise, Rahm Emanuel was misled and deceived by his own staff and political supporters because he was in President Bill Clinton’s Administration.

D: Man! Sounds to me like Rahm Emanuel has been framed by the Teabag Dems and the Republican Party because he is so closely associated to the Clintons and did their finances so brilliantly when Bill Clinton was on the campaign trail. But what are the protestors in Chicago supposed to do now?

M: Dude! Rahm Emanuel needs to conduct a series of public forums involving the protestors and himself addressing their concerns and pain. Emanuel needs to do this personally and not lose his authenticity and patience, but endure the strife of the people directing their frustrations and fears with him publicly.

D: Man! Does Emanuel have what it takes to conduct himself in such a pragmatic approach to the situation in Chicago and do the protestors have the courage to grant Emanuel 12 months to reform himself and his staff and crew?

M: Dude! The protestors must be vigilant and demand the opportunity to be able to review Emanuel’s conduct throughout the duration of the 12 months they grant him to reform himself and his staff and crew.

D: Man! The protestors need to remember the Ferguson unrest and know that, like Claire McCaskill over there in Missouri, Rahm Emanuel as Chicago Mayor will be their safest route to reformation and a change that takes US all forward?

M: Dude! Yes! However, the public forums must be aired on public television in full alongside online transcripts available to all to review and provide email and Facebook and Twitter feedback to the Mayor and his constituents plus all concerned activists who would like to address Rahm Emanuel directly. Like the peaceful protests in Chicago right now, the public forums’ participants must observe decorum and decency and dignity.

D: Man! I’m in!
