Man! Dude! Session #348
(D)ude: Man! Could you please clarify foreign relations and the GOP Tea and the Teabag Democrats? Are they really so desperate for war as to derail the Iran Nuclear Deal and every direction for diplomacy?
(M)an: Dude! The GOP Tea and the Teabag Democrats think they can set all the blame for the Iran Nuclear Deal not going through the United States Congress on the President of the United States Barack Obama. But the 21st Century is going to prove impossible for the GOP Tea and Teabag Democrats because there is a new generation of problem-solvers thanks to the cultural crossroads of tablet technologies and Internet availability.
D: Man! If these problem-solvers do not manage to attain the test scores while sustaining the rigors of seven to eight classes per week for the duration of their high school careers, then what? What good is computer savviness when you’re thrown out of the education system entirely by the time you’re fifteen?
M: Dude! The elective classes should be thrown out entirely for all the students to focus on keeping an after-school job or paid internship.
D: Man! But what if you land an internship with Martha Stewart-like business folks who refuse to financially compensate?
M: Dude! I’ll tell you the problem with Martha Stewart-like business folks and unpaid internships. Martha Stewart began her career in home decor and managed to relate original do-it-yourself projects in the first book she wrote and probably even in her second bestseller. But, eventually, she began an enterprise and financial empire which afforded her the callousness to take her peons for granted.
D: Man! That’s right. I bet Martha Stewart’s a killer Marie Antoinette! Let them eat cake or brioche or pork? I believe Rousseau’s autobiography more so than anything ever written by John H. Sununu. Did you know he remains convinced that national security issues as a George Herbert Walker Bush White House Chief of Staff led him to cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of travel expenses labelled official business involving ski trips and dentist visits that could not possibly be serious enough to involve military jets and last-minute cancellations in favor of corporate airfare. Of course, in shallow sportsmanship that’s uncharacteristic of even the deceptive Dick Cheney and Walker Junior, Sununu presses forth with self-incriminating rhetoric about President Reagan having had the national security concerns that ultimately resulted in Sununu’s blatant disregard for expenditures costing US taxpayers major bucks. Pork is pork. Sununu’s pork.
M: Dude! Concerning Martha Stewart and Marie Antoinette, I am reminded of a passage from Antonia Fraser’s biography of the latter’s journeying from the Queen-Empress Maria Teresa’s Archduchess daughter to the Austrian-born French Queen wife to Louis the Sixteenth, page 423,
Marie Antoinette found solace from the aching boredom that is every prisoner’s lot by watching the guards at their eternal card games. She had sent for her knitting-box from the Temple to continue making stockings for her son; the royal ladies, left behind, knowing “how fond she was of this occupation,” had hastily packed up all the silk and worsted they could find. But this was not permitted. Nor was she allowed needles for embroidery, so she began to pull out threads from the remains of the toile on the walls, and weave them into garters. And then there was reading.
D: Man! What? Marie Antoinette suffering from boredom? But why?
M: Dude! She was imprisoned! However, as Fraser continues forth on page 423,
This form of existence, extremely confined but not completely intolerable, was brought to an end officially by the discovery of the Carnation Plot in early September… On 11 September the Queen was moved to another cell, the former pharmacy. Although it too had a window on to the Women’s Courtyard, this was to be semi-blocked. The inner and outer doors of the cell, which was divided between “the widow Capet” and her gendarmes, were to be made much more secure.
D: Man! And who was the guy who was headstrong about Marie Antoinette’s eventual beheading?
M: Dude! Lord George Augustus Herbert, the 11th Earl of Pembroke, of England. He declared to the Committee of Public Safety on September 2, 1793,
I have promised the head of Antoinette. I will go and cut it off myself if there is any delay in giving it to me.
D: Man! The mostly unpopulated stadium seats at Donald John Trump's pep rally in Mobile, Alabama provided visual hope for a brighter and stronger future for our nation of thrifty tycoon-oligarchs like him and their reliance on the private market to provide the services that our democratic government was designed to absorb into its fabric of diversification and diversity. Like Martha Stewart, the GOP Tea and the Teabag Democrats are very much invested in a socioeconomic infrastructure that cannot sustain itself logistically. The guns and drugs on our streets are a direct result of a crumbling financial institution that is free market capitalism, a system where you’re either a criminally intuned talker without anything but a voicebox and ambition and the incredible stamina to keep up with your lies and falsehoods and the vocabulary and mathematics of profiting and loss management, or you’re a product developer with the same cunningness, but a product or products to offer alongside a sustainable business model.
M: Dude! Whoah! That’s a lot of work! No wonder my nieces and nephews have outgrown their childhood ambitions of mastering celebrity obscenities for far more attainable goals like fostering middle class values that involve reconciliation with the disparaging 2% who, like Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney before him, maintain that obscene celebrity attitude of being better because they can afford far more than the 98% of US. Have you noticed the obscene rudeness and downright disrespect afforded to the American Press Corps by Jeb Bush on his campaign trail?
D: Man! All the GOP contenders right now are campaigning on Jeb Bush’s behalf! It’s like that mythological character with the multiple serpents comprising her hair strands.
M: Dude! Medusa?
D: Man! Yeah! The GOP Medusa calling out from the TEA wing of the party, Don’t Tread On Me! It’s so obvious that the GOP is crumbling as a result of its imperialist bigotry, the negative ramifications of nepotism already showing in the way George Herbert Walker Bush’s sons have not shown any intellect, other than their boudior banter and burlesque brutality. The GOP since George Walker Bush and Jeb Bush’s entries into the beltway, remind me of the GOP Tea Party and Democratic Teabags present during President Jimmy Carter’s Administration. Watergate was a first step in a brutal direction for the Republican Party and the Teabag Democrats, having begun with then-Vice President Richard Nixon in 1953.
M: Dude! President Eisenhower’s first year in the White House? 1953? That was when the Shah of Iran was brought back to power by the Eisenhower Administration’s authorizing the CIA to overthrow the then-Prime Minister of Iran Mohammad Mosaddegh. In 1979, President Jimmy Carter reached out to former Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger for advice about whether to allow the Shah to enter the United States for cancer treatment and was enocuraged to go with the plan to allow the Shah into the United States. Deliberate misguidance! This was a duplicitous and very criminally calculated move by Kissinger to bring Ronald Reagan into the White House by having the then-President Jimmy Carter stir up unrest abroad amongst the Iranian people, the United States Press reporting the Iranian civilians’ sentiments with linearity of either pro-Shah or pro-Ayatollah Khomeini. The Republican Party and the Press Corps in the United States always report the perspectives of the status quo in countries like Iran and Iraq. They bad mouth the tyrannical tyrants like Saddam and Assad, but what about the tyranny of the Republican Tea GOP and Democratic Teabags and the corporate status quo that exists discreetly in their United States? Look at the Keystone XL Pipeline arguments in favor of destroying American soil and families and aquifers for crude tarsands oil for TransCanada!
D: Man! President Eisenhower’s Secretary of State John Foster Dulles constructed an “Eisenhower Doctrine” that basically countered the war on communism in the Middle East, which was later used by Reagan and Herbert Walker Bush to lay the unstable foundation for the war on terrorism in the Middle East that was utilized by Walker Junior’s Administration to place the ultimate blame on Iraq for the losses that we the people shouldered and continue to suffer the pains of the aftermath that is 9/11/01.
M: Dude! The terrorist activities and attacks that the United States of America was participant to in the deliberated errors of Reagan and Bush post-1980 Elections—that the incumbent presidential candidate Jimmy Carter surrendered or sacrificed in order to guarantee the safe return home to Washington, DC of the 52 hostages from Iran, coincidentally or intentionally by the Kissinger Reaganites, twenty minutes into Ronald Reagan’s inaugural address—involved countries other than Iran, such as Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Kuwait, Iraq, Italy, Austria, Germany, and Scotland, and in this course of time the United States of America. I say Kissinger Reaganites because Henry Kissinger introduced the platform of foreign policy that has been utilized by every American president since Richard Nixon’s days as President Eisenhower’s vice president. Eisenhower extolled the following line about the right wingers within the Republican Party and his moderate disposition in sharp contrast from their extremism, "I have just one purpose ... and that is to build up a strong progressive Republican Party in this country. If the right wing wants a fight, they are going to get it ... before I end up, either this Republican Party will reflect progressivism or I won't be with them anymore.”
D: Man! What happened?
M: Dude! President Eisenhower’s tendencies towards and comments about the people of, for example, the Phillipines were skewed. And the separate but equal notion of conveying understanding to minorities at home and abroad Eisenhower carried with him always and, eventually, into the White House. As Kasey S. Pipes writes in Ike’s Final Battle: The Road to Little Rock and the Challenge of Equality, Ike wrote in his diary that he had “learned to expect from the Filipinos with whom we deal, a minimum of performance from a maximum of promise.” There was “no lack of intelligence” among the Filipinos. But there was still something missing.
They were, “with few exceptions, unaccustomed to the requirements of the administrative and executive procedure.” After meeting with Filipinos and agreeing on a plan of action, Eisenhower said that often “nothing whatsoever will be done.” “These peculiar traits we are learning to take into account,” Ike lamented in his diary, “but obviously they impede progress.”
While doubting the martial abilities of the Filipinos, Ike harbored no such uncertainty about the Germans. As the decade [1930s] came to a close, he saw another war brewing in Europe. He wanted in on it. He had missed out on action in the First World War. He didn’t want that to happen again.
D: Man! That separate but equal mentality that Eisenhower carried with him also was embraced by Henry Kissinger in foreign relationing across continents, particularly Asia and Africa.
M: Dude! Realpolitik and detente constrict foreign relationing into a Machiavellian mess, and both were instituted by Henry Kissinger in the Nixon and Ford Adminstrations. George Herbert Walker Bush took these policy reigns from Kissinger.
D: Man! Detente and Realpolitik are being held as essential principles of foreign policy by all the GOP presidential contenders, all perpetuating the notion of power and patriarchy over ethical consideration for the civilian lives trapped in the international refugee crises the world is facing because the United States Congress is refusing to legislate ways to expedite the funds to the United Nations necessary for countries surrounding Syria to take in and care for its displaced persons, including families with children who need to be redirected from the warfare in their surrounds by intellectual stimuli and physical nourishment.
M: Dude! As Hillary Rodham Clinton writes in It Takes a Village, page 243 [paperback, 1996],
One of the striking differences international studies have repeatedly turned up between American parents and students and their counterparts in other countries, particularly in Asia, is the greater weight our culture currently gives to innate ability, as opposed to effort, in academic success. I don’t know all the reasons for this preoccupation, which seems to be linked to an obsession with IQ tests and other means of labeling people, but some possible explantions are not particularly flattering to us.
Believing in innate ability is a handy excuse for us.
D: Man! Wow! Then again, detente and realpolitik are being used as essential principles of domestic policy by all the GOP presidential contenders. To grow up in poverty and violence that is perpetuated by the cyclical return of a GOP President of the United States every four to eight years is a reality that must change at the grassroots. People need to think of the wheel of progress and its forward momentum and want to break and replace that wheel like one of the female heroines from the Game of Thrones series declared in last season’s promo. We the people at the grassroots must exercise our voting rights despite all the inherent obstacles placed in our direction by the GOP intimidators and break that twentieth century wheel for a more perfect solar powered contraption of the 21st Century that can propel US beyond the Milky Way.
M: Dude! Detente and realpolitik realities unfold before our eyes and we’re afraid to confront the aftereffects, like the case of Vietnam militant and diplomat Le Duc Tho’s keen vision back when he declined the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize for faciliating the Paris Peace Accords alongside American militant and diplomat Henry Kissinger who had facilitated support for West Pakistan during the 1971 Bangladesh War and trudged ahead with genocidal practices playing out on that warfront to the extent that 29 Americans led by Consul General Archer Kent Blood telegramed their discontent and horror at what was unfolding in East Pakistan without effecting Henry Kissinger’s decision to let the bloodshed continue as it would in what would become the country of Bangladesh. Blood’s telegram was received with a cold reception by then-President Nixon and Henry Kissinger, both of whom decided to reassign by demoting the Consul General of East Pakistan to a post at the personnel office within the State Department.
D: Man! Yikes!
M: Dude! Le Duc Tho’s declining the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973 with wisdom and symbolic reproach towards the Nobel Committee and Kissinger is understandable. The Vietnam War would continue until the fall of Saigon two years after and no peace as Tho desired for South Vietnam. Only further bloodshed and no ceasefire whatsoever as was negotiated in the Paris Peace Accords, which would give leverage to North Vietnam.
D: Man! Speaking of realpolitik and detente, the GOP Tea Republican John Boehners and Mitch McConnells and their Teabag Democratic counterparts in 1979 orchestrated the GOP’s proxy government movement initiated by Richard Nixon during the Eisenhower Admistration and that has defined the Republican Tea GOP and the Teabag Democrats ever since. These were the people who purposely thwarted President Carter’s initial rescue mission to save the hostages. In the end, the final analysis must read that the hostages of 1979 are alive because of President Carter’s leadership and committment to the United States of America as Commander in Chief, not Reagan and despite however many dashing John H. Sununu portraitures are painted in ink about Herbert Walker Bush haivng met with the the plane that landed with the hostages inside twenty minutes into President Ronald Reagan’s inaugural address.
M: Dude! The GOP Tea and Teabag Democrats play chess with people’s lives across the globe! That’s what civilians are to this breed of savages we label leaders! We need Hillary Rodham Clinton and Charlotte’s pitter-patter in the White House! With Trey Gowdy releasing the nonlabelled classifed emails of then-Secretary of State Rodham Clinton through an unsecured computer system himself this week, just imagine how cold-blooded the GOP Tea and Teabag Democrats are becoming day in and day out with the power they’ve got over our lives because of our refusal to vote in midterm elections!
D: Man! And the complicitness of the American Press Corps alongside nilwits like Trey Gowdy!
