27.9.14



--   the current AUTHORITY
                                                                     he was confident authority wasnt capitalized
though very likely the authority might prefer it were
and that the people who read  current authority
heard it reported or saw it on their computer television or cellphone screens would 
submit
perhaps bow deeply touching their foreheads to the ground as some religious devotees 
do
or prostrate themselves collectively


frankly
those were the kind of thoughts that traipsed around in his head whenever authority 
was pronounced
decided
                       this reigning new authority  unconfirmed by free independent forces
lacked rigid verification  and exhibited no proof beyond what it showed or said

the authority should be advised to remember that the evocation of it as “the current 
authority” infers  in time  there will be different authorities
and how they are fashioned is anyones guess
 
as easily as one can count “one, two, three . . .” there follows “four, five, six . . .” and on 
and on


the current authority is military (he could think of few authorities more rigid)

it is biased  employs extreme prejudice

it tells us only what it wants

it is not compelled

it advises that it cannot reveal specific elements or actions because we are safer 
not knowing what threats are imminent


Fearmongering




the current authority
according to officials
in theatre CENTCOM
the Pentagon
                       
all talking heads

enabled because they can imprison its contract players  those actors at its game of chess
if they betrayed either the theses or strategies put in place  contended  by their 
superiors
it is not called the CHAIN of Command for nothing

Think dog
Think kennels
Think fetch

     
                                                         he wondered how the National Amnesia worked if 
he distinctly remembered
the self-assured Hubris of the last Republican Administration
thirteen years of languishing American warfare
Treasure consumed
uncounted Lives lost
Families destroyed


the new Bogeyman

ISIS
ISIL                                                                                                                                             DAESH
Al-Nusra Front
Khorasan Group
etcetera etcetera etcetera

was it him or didnt they sound  --  each and every one  --  like Wall Street conglomerates


he scratched his head

no public conversation
plenty of prattling neutering degrading
pontification
religious intonation 
assuming the High Road
a Yellow-Coward Congress not meeting its Constitutional obligations

a new Years - long conflict entered into without any determinate cost analysis
               
How about  he thought  we talk about New Taxes Assessed to afford this Conflict since
the last  --  no  that was incorrect  --  the last wasnt over yet  --  was run so dismally

frankly

he could bet his left testicle “the current authority” wasnt quibbling over these concerns
