DICK CHENEY’S BRAIN WANTS TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT

DICK CHENEY’S BRAIN

WANTS TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT

Due to a miracle of modern medicine and unlimited funding, death will not stop Dick Cheney's brain from running for President.

CONFIDENTIAL MEMO:

FROM DICK CHENEY TASK FORCE

RE: Dick Cheney’s brain.

Confidential discussions with the 1% of the 1% Republicans (wealthiest of the wealthy Republicans) and they decided Dick Cheney’s brain should be ready to run for President just as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

Dick volunteered to be “harvested” in order to be the first cyborg-enhanced President. Dick said, “Over my dead body!” and we said, “Of course.” (Yuk, Yuk! And you thought Dick Cheney didn’t have a funny thought in his head!) He will live in a small PetSmart fish tank supported by finest advanced technology known to man provided by America's highest high-tech companies.

Dick will be the most experienced candidate for President. And, he is not tainted by the current Republican administration. He worked for Nixon and Ford White Houses and was Chief of Staff; was elected in Wyoming then served as Secretary of Defense, Vice President for “W”, and now, he will have overcome death.

The choice of Cheney for President is obvious. Wouldn’t you rather have a brilliant, experienced, ruthless brain in a secure PetSmart fish-tank than Donald Trump?

Since Cheney will have died and cannot die again, this Task Force can guarantee that if Republicans elect Cheney’s brain, they will have a leader who has proven he is not afraid to take on dictators, thugs and scumbags - not necessarily in that order.

WHY DO THIS?

There are serious, Fake News, court challenges looming. There are weapons of mass destruction poised to do the U.S. harm. There is a coup ready to happen. The FBI and Congress can’t be trusted. If we don’t have THE RIGHT leader who BELIEVES this, and is ready to ACT and ACT swiftly, then our way of life is in peril as it was with the 1st and 2nd Iraq invasions.

You knew Dick. You know that his brain would move whatever political, military and economic levers necessary to remove the terrorists, domestic and foreign.

America needs a strong man in office, and Cheney is the strongest candidate, even if he may be physically floating in a PetSmart fish-tank hooked up by Haliburton, Microsoft and Dell.

Google has provided Dick’s brain with a set of VR glasses. Dragon Naturally Speaking will let him dictate all communication. Blue Tooth makes him smile. He will be on the job, 24/7 which is good because we will need the extra time to undo this court triggered gridlock. This swamp.

Cheney is totally NOT afraid to stand up, or drift up, for American values and take our country back from the dangerous path on which it has been traveling.

Cheney doesn’t have a backbone but his spineless body has more spine than those so-called patriots in Congress! He’ll show us how to overcome gridlock! After all, he orchestrated the War on Terror, pushed through the NSA wiretapping and waterboarding. When he’s President, Congress better pay attention or else a little invitation to visit with the fish tank!

WHAT DO WE NEED?

Look at his track record! He voted against the Department of Education and Head Start. “What a waste of money, educating young poor kids (didn't do ME any good!)! Sorry President Reagan, but I voted to against the sanctions on South Africa because of apartheid – that was bad for business and 1%/1% profits!  I also opposed releasing Nelson Mandella – that man was a terrorist and worse, a Communist!”

Gorbachev and Yeltsin - he was skeptical, VERY skeptical about those guys, guess where he stands (or floats) on Putin? (Can a fish tank snarl?) The Saudis? How did their sand get on our oil? And, remember, it was Cheney who ordered the invasion of Panama.

He wants the Tea Party to remember that a TRUE American KEEPS LOOKING for “yellow cake” until he finds it.

Look at how WRONG the world has been on so many things – Cheney would shake his head in disbelief if he had a head!

What we need is for everyone to look at Cheney’s record and get over any inhibitions about electing “a floater”. He once had a birth certificate, he will have a death certificate and he will have a PetSmart fish tank certificate.

Does the Constitution allow this? The Constitution says nothing about this. This will actually be a refreshing change. After all, how many Presidents have we had with NO brain whatsoever?  Plus with the Supreme Court we have now, no-problemo!

DONALL TRUMPETTE, THE U.S.'s 'MINI-ME' AND “TRUMP-O RICO” - An Excerpt From "MORALIC ACID- Truth and Satire"- eBOOK NOW $0.99

TRUMP-O-RICO,

THE U.S.’s “Mini Me”

Now that the secret FBI emails are being released, Donnall Trumpette is sure that his existence will be revealed.

I am Donall Trumpette, “DonaldLarge Me’s Mini-Me”.

Do not misunderstand. I may be smaller than DonaldLarge Me in height, but I have a much, much larger frontal cortex than DonaldLarge Me.

I pack the brains, he packs a big mouth and large, signature-style hair. (It is not a comb-over, it is a Trump-over.)

I played a very LARGE role in the DonaldLarge Me campaign and now in the White House while DonaldLarge Me is, of course, playing an extraordinarily super-sized role in the advancement of all mankind!

I carry a 3”X5” card in my wallet on which I make careful, tiny notations, of DonaldLarge Me’s contribution to the species. This is not about “survival” of the fittest, we’re way beyond that. DonaldLarge Me is much larger than Darwinian thinking! DonaldLarge Me is advancing the species!

His unmatched personal capacities make him the model human being against which all others will be measured. He’s big... really big. Just ask us.

He can’t help but make America Great Again, it is what will happen in his vapor trail! Greatness. Total BigGreatness. AltGreatness as Kellhyann would say. Why, DonaldLarge Me’s aroma makes America smell nice again. And, he makes Canada and Mexico smell better, too. All of North America smells nice because of him. It is Eau de Trump-o, the smell of richness, the vapor trail of success.

DonaldLarge Me is accused of hating Mexicans, Syrians, Muslims, people he fires on the Apprentice, people throws out of his rallies, and a few million others.

Nothing is further from the Truth. The Truth is that DonaldLarge Me has said over and over again that he LOVES Mexicans. He hires them! He LOVES Muslims! He has a Trump Tower in Saudi. He LOVES everyone!

 As Donnall Trumpette, DonaldLarge Me’s Mini-Me, I can tell you that DonaldLarge me is BIG on loving! BIG! America will be great again when everyone else loves as much as DonaldLarge Me!

No other candidate had a Mini-Me, except for DonaldLarge Me right?

When you elected DonaldLarge Me, America became so great that our country needed a Mini-Me, too! A U.S. Mini-Me!

I suggested that DonaldLarge Me simply designate Puerto Rico as America’s Mini-Me!

How’s that? DonaldLarge Me loves the Puerto Ricans (they’re not Mexicans, right?). And, Puerto Rico is up for sale! So, DonaldLarge Me will cut a deal with Congress to tow P.R. up here and park it right outside of New York City harbor, a short walk from Trump Tower, just like the Chinese are doing off Japan. Why not?

It will be renamed Trump-o Rico! DonaldLarge Me has agreed everyone will do the Mini-Me Pinky Kiss to get onto Trump-o Rico. Residents will have their hair dyed like DonaldLarge Me.

This is really something to look forward to! He told me that he was in love with my little idea!

NEW YEAR FIRE

WHO AM I?

     And, we are laughing and looking across the fire at each other, and talking. That’s how we keep our attention focused on the present and not worry about what’s in the dark and probably looking at us from the dark forest.

     Some of us are hardwoods, dense, heavy, with thick layers of l’aubier, living sapwood.  Others of us are soft pines. Some branches, cut limbs. We toss in pine cones with lots of future yet to be released and planted. New forest re-seed themselves after the fire rages through and burns down the ancient trees. Sometimes I feel like an ancient tree. 

      As I sit in front of the fire I see that we burn our pasts. We release those seeds of the future by telling our past stories. And those are the fuel for the New Year’s fire.

     Some of our stories are about our victories. Some of the stories are about our defeats. Our losses. Some of the stories are about the things which others did to us. It is good to release those stories that are not strengthening for us. We'll toss them onto the fire pit and watch them burn. Let ‘em go. Let the sparks rise to the sky. Turn them into ashes. Let them go.

WHY ARE WE HERE?

     Sitting around the fire and telling our stories to one another is something that men do, that women do, that people do. We have been hosting fire evenings for years. We invite our longtime friends to come and sit. One would think that, after all these years that the stories would be repetitive, but they're not. Just as the years of our lives are cyclical, our storytelling to one another is likewise cyclical. We peel off the layer of one story at one time on one year on one weekend on one night there is more. Our lives are deeper than we can imagine. The hurts run very deep. In some cases there may be no end to the depths of despair that our experiences have given us. It is good to sit in front of the fire and tell those stories.

     Tonight plays a special role in the process. We are held by the darkness.

     How much smaller as a people we become when we can't live with the elements – fire, water, wind, and the earth. When we become too civilized we become too small too containerized. Domesticated. We need to be out we need to be risking.  We need to be standing in front of the raw elements. We need to float our lives down the rivers of life. We need to be blown about and buffeted by the winds. We need to be challenged by the snow. We need also to face the fires. Our I-being needs to touch the elements.

     There used to be refining fires when things were melted and smelted and created by those who work the metals. Our metals in our hearts and our lives are still worked over. But many of us are not so skilled his craftsman's. When things get hot and we start getting pounded we tend to flee rather than join in the pounding. Let's take this thing and pound it into a different shape. We can change, we can grow. But we must be willing to withstand the pain. Stand the heat. So long as we are the cause of our own heat and realize that then were willing to put up with it. The refining fire will burn out the impurities in our character. Smelt the iron of our selves. But we have to put ourselves into that fire we have to load that fire tray with what we want to burn.

     It is amazing how quickly our life stories which are soft and flabby, go up in smoke. That's all they are is smoke. Very little heat. Softwood is only water and smoke. And so our lives. If they have been uneventful barely warm us.

WHAT DO I WANT?

     I want to sit with old friends around the fire. I don't give a damn how cold it is outside. I live in Vermont. And in Vermont you can count on there being ice and snow and how many Vermonters do not want to sit outside. How many Vermonters can't stand the fidgetiness of nature? You can stand the fidgetiness of nature if in your heart you have a burning fire. You have a desire. You have a love.

     And, of course, this year is not cold. There has been no ice and snow. Like sometimes in our lives, we are not challenged. We are not met by opposition. Life gives us a “pass” and there is, seemingly, no resistance. But, the reality does not matter.

    We will sit, and drape ourselves in a bit less jackets and the fire will seem hotter. And the stories, when they come, will blaze brighter. But the dark will be just as dark, and deep and mysterious. We know the mountains which we must cross in the future are just as high, and lie over to the East. As we ascend, there will be more snow. And, you know the snow will eventually come. Eventually.

And your future vision prepares for it. Your heart will be glad when the leaden skies return.

     And your friends will return. They have been delayed. But, they have said they will be there. They will come for the fire. The New Year will come, eventually. And you will be prepared. The saws and axes to cut and split the stories are to one side.

You know the future will be coming. Soon. And you hope it will arrive as will the unexpected guest.

WHY DO WE TOLERATE THE PUBLIC LIE?

WHO AM I?

   Who understands the source of their beliefs? Do the people who are supporting the different candidates know the source of their own beliefs? If so, are they willing to say that the candidates who utter the Public Lie are saying things they themselves stand for. If not, then why do we tolerate the Public Lie? 

   When lying with impunity or ad hominem becomes the status quo for those who would become President of our United States, then this leads to the situation where there are various “camps of believers” who support candidates and their Lies. Or, perhaps worse, people support candidates without knowing why they are supporting them. These then become hierarchies which influence the candidates. These camps of believers remain separate and quite distinct from one another. In the end, is our country no longer sustaining the ideal of being a “melting pot”? Has this also become a Public Lie? Are we now armed camps which rail against each other and even seek to promote their group's safety with gated communities, militia or guards to protect ourselves from ourselves?

    Young black men in inner cities arm themselves in order to protect themselves. Where are the Peace Keepers?

    Is our country now a Lie? This was the case in Ancient Greece where the family (okios) was the prime force. Today, we can see that our citizens are strongly in favor of families. In this election we have the Clintons, the Bushes. Coincidence? Family’s represent one motive force within our nation which feels good, safe, protected by families. Have we simply become tolerant of these old forces and have come to tolerate them because we are too lazy or too busy for any alternative? But, it is a Public Lie. Our country was created as a revolution against monarchy or the family rule.

    We once rebelled against monarchy, family, okios. The family of the monarch was considered to be an extension of the gods. These families were ordering their societies, were elites, had way more money and properties, possessions, castles and towers named after themselves. Oh yes, they thus kept citizens from shooting one another by keeping soldiers under their family command (before ”law enforcement”). 

What replaced okios rule was rule of law. Law was above families - "under law". The idea was once that each person was equal before the law and the laws were enforced on all equally.  Black Lives Matter, all lives matter, under rule of law and not families, each person is equal before the law. Not corporations. Corporations were not people. The Public Lie today is that there are forces working against the rule of law and the individual. We have seen many recent killings of black people. We have seen corporations killing democracy. Public Lies which now seem to be above the law. We are tolerating this for how long?

WHY AM I HERE?

  I bring you Polis! Polis is the opposing approach to life to okios, corporatism and oligarchy.  In ancient Greece, the Polis came to be seen as the opposing philosophical construct to okios – family, monarchy, centralized wealth. Laws were thought to be transcendent ideals which were above all families, gangs, corporations or countries. Humans gained access to laws through groupings such as representatives which were truly representative of people – human beings-  rather than being rather than corporations (okinos groups) technologically groups or economically “bought” – financial okinos groups.

   Vaclav Havel, a revolutionary in Czechoslovakia during that country’s recent Soviet/totalitarian era, wrote an essay during the time of the totalitarian state entitled “Power To The Powerless”. We should read that. In that essay Havel, who after being released from prison after the “Velvet Revolution” became President, described a parallel polis during the time of totalitarianism. One polis was the State which was based on wealth and power. The parallel polis was based on powerless human-to-human relationships. We have a parallel polis in our country, too.

It seems that today we have an interesting   mirror image of the totalitarian state of Havel’s time where we have an uber-Capitalistic, greedy 10% dominating 90%. In his lecture. Havel actually describes this capitalist / totalitarian mirroring. Each has a different form of Public Lie. Totalitarian states today continue to tolerate leaders lying with impunity, and so perhaps, our current experience is preparing us for a time when honesty is no longer a requirement for governance.

If the state becomes a Lie, then are Liars the best to govern?

WHAT DO I WANT?

   The shadow side of the polis is also something with which we are experiencing. It is a different version of the Public Lie. It is when the leader is leading a public which no longer feels it can do anything if the leader is lying. The leader can then freely speak the Lie. There is no notice. There is a mass psychosis.  Here’s how it is done: “Truth” is now created with forceful argument rather than reasoned argument. Those with great wealth appear to be the ones who are “believed” – even when they speak blatant untruths.

    One of the most memorable examples of this was Donald Rumsfeld who said (regarding the lack of evidence of WMDs in Iraq): 

"The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.” 

    Such circular statements should begin to test the inner strength of citizens. The game was rigged.  We allowed those in power to continue to rule. The world has become a worse place, tens of thousands of Iraqis suffered and died and U.S. troops died because of the Public Lie. It is a Public Lie some would like us to repeat if given the power and feel they can repeat.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character give him power. ~Abraham Lincoln

The situation today seems to beg us to become “judgmental”. We do not need citizens being judgmental and driven by power and emotion.  What we need is to form judgments, seek Truth outside of our silos. The first step is to know that you don’t know. That we have come to live in silos. That leaders have tried to isolate us from one another as they sought to prove their families are experienced and know what to do. However, their solutions to all problems are to let them lead again.

Here’s what the poet Rilke said:

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart 
and try to love the questions themselves
Like locked rooms and like books 
that are written in a very foreign tongue. 
Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you 
because you would not be able to live them. 
And the point is, to live everything. 
Live the questions now. 
Perhaps gradually, without noticing it, 
you will live along some distant day into the answer. 
~Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
