Nothing to fear but fear itself – and CNN




Saturday, May 23, 2020

the rain came late last night it lingers into this morning, a gray shroud over a world that is thick with the scent of real and imagined death.
People on the street clutch their face masks and cover the hands with gloves in a terror that they might breathe in the wrong thing or touch something that will kill them.
We have come a long way since my grandfather's time when all we needed to Fear was Fear Itself.
or even those days post 9/11 when we looked to the skies in fear of terrorists.
We get issued terror every day on CNN, MSNBC and the host of other networks that broadcast into our lives their brand of fear, selling us horror stories along with hand sanitizer and expecting us to buy both.
Our lives are dictated by the personal biases of the New York Times and The Washington Post who Pander the same bullshit to the more educated class, proving that there is very little difference between those who have gone through the university propaganda process and those who had simply endured what all of us must endure through common education.
No amount of rain can wash away the stench of this from our lives no more than it can take the distaste from our mouths we are stuck with the hypocrisy of politics that seems to permeate everywhere, oozing out of the soil itself, poisoning us and our environment worse than any of the carbon footprint crap we get.
We get this kind of All or Nothing politics, the CNN's of the world selling this crap about Trump being a racist and the other side talking about the sexual predator nature of Democrats like Bill Clinton and maybe even Joe Biden.
Main Street of course used to be Main Street and then for time it was the mall and now it is places like Twitter and Facebook with the same problem haddock censorship of the Masters of these media organizations who have their own agenda censoring what they do not like and promoting what they do.
Meanwhile others especially poorer neighborhoods are terrified of this new 5G technology that seems to have emerged as the new Matrix the monster that will consume our lives and track us along with vaccines and the rest of the microchip world.
It is hard to make sense of the world that does not make sense.
It is difficult to live in a society where the world cannot be cleansed by rain but gets stained by bullshit not by pollution of the ordinary kind but the pollution of the Mind.
I no longer can wake up and look out and let the rain touch my hand and know that the day will be cleaner because of it. I am just to stand by and suffer what comes over the radio news or in the newspaper headline or even over the internet the constant drumbeat of Terror that seems to be designed to keep me afraid rather than make me fear full of fear itself
I envy my grandfather and my uncles who merely had to put up with this threat on foreign soil this fascism that brooded in Europe and Asia and attempted to seize what CNN now seizes today, eroding our lives with misinformation that we can never double-check, fact checkers are biased so that even the monitors of this world seem to be caught up in the whirlwind of hate and I have local leaders who won't even let me walk out in the rain without a mask to breathe clean air, filling it up with the terror of their own of version of their own sales pitch and it is difficult to understand what their motive is except to say they like us being scared.
