12. THE THREE RRR'S

To the reader,
Please go to "older posts" begin with
#1. EVEPLEBEODIOUS, then sequentially with #2., #3., etc.

#12. THE THREE RRR'S
..............4-PART SCRIPT...........

PART- #1. Right or Wrong

At one time The Three RRR'S meant:
Reading, Writing and Arithmatic!

Is'nt it just a little strange that The Three RRR'S did'nt even stand for
the correct words. Yeah right ; cause instead of The Three RRR's it
should have been RWA, which of course stands for:
Reading, Writing and Arithmatic; not Right Wing ASSociate!

There is the right, there is the left and of course there is the correct way.
I am not sure even after all this time, that "anyone really" knows the way.

We think we know the way and we say "your wrong" and then you say
"no your wrong" and though we both seem to have some understanding,
it seems there is not a solid base to stand on for either.

Consequently, we continue to argue, debate, fight and even go to war
with each other over our differences simply because of this confusion.

Please correct me if I am wrong; I thought this grouping of states we call:
The United States Of America was supposed to be founded on Democracy.

Democracy means to me, that a proposition , or a way is brought before
"the people" for evaluation, debate and a vote. "After" the vote, the vote
is counted and the "majority" of the votes either yeah or nay decides
whether the proposition or way is adopted into the social fabric or rejected.

I almost said, soundly rejected and then thought there have been at times
"sound" propositions or ways that have been rejected by the people!
Go figure!

If we are supposed to be a Democratic nation, then why is there
so much confusion?

Is the war in Iraq justified? Some say yes and some say no!

Who is correct?

Is any war justified? Some say yes and some say no!

The yes group most likely feels as I do, that if someone or a group of
somebodys decided what is mine should be theirs; such as my belongings,
my family, my way of life, or my freedom; then I would feel I have
the right to defend againast the "tyranny". Thus "justified"!

I believe this defensive action to be "honorable".

By the way, if you were my neighbor and you were in the "no justification"
for war group, I would defend you if you needed defence, cause thats
what neighbors are supposed to do; right? Some say yes and some say no!

Although I believe in peace and do desire peace, I realize the truth;
which is, there are definately those in the world who believe what is mine
should be theirs and what is yours should be theirs and make no mistake
about it, these will not hesitate to, by any means;
take ours and make it theirs.

So now that we have established "my personal view" on war, can we get
to the question which is; do I believe the war in Iraq is justified?

Answer: NO, NO, NO,etc.

Don't believe your lying eyes and ears!

Believe the fact, that there are not and were not any:
WMD's (Weapons Of Mass Destruction)!

Believe that the war in Iraq, called "Operation Iraqi Freedom" implies what?
That the Iraqi people needed liberation.

They indeed did need liberation, however did "they" want liberation
enough to "take it" and make it so?

No, "they" did not.

Why not?

Because they were weak with the fear of retribution from
their dictatorial leader Saddam Hussein, if "they" stood up against him
and his regieme. I do not fault theese people for their fear.

So there is two purported reasons for the war in Iraq:
One reason, which was suppossed to be "THE REASON" is;
The WMD"s which have yet to be found.

The second reason is, The Democratization of Iraq.
A free and democratic Iraq was according to the architects of this war;
was supposed to stabilize "the region".

Which of these two reasons is the real reason?

Which of these two reasons are "righteous reasons" for
the United States Of America to engage in a pre-emptive first strike war
against the soverign nation of Iraq?

I say neither of these reasons are or were righteous.
Self righteous perhaps, but most definately not righteous.

Even if Saddam Hussein"HAD WMD"s" (which he did not), and he hated
America (which he did); was this reason enough to initiate a
first strike scenario?

NO.

What if the Saddam Hussein attacked The United States?

Yes, kick his ass!

Though the people of Iraq were oppressed and fearful, I believe toppling
Saddam Hussein's regieme by aggression was not righteous or
for that matter legal.

So, I believe the War in Iraq is wrong, illegal and I believe the invitation
George W. (Long Shanks) Bush sent to the Angel Of Death to
come and party was fucked up!

PART #2. Were Winning

Now let me get this straight; even with the combined military Coalition forces
armed with U.S. Air support, including F-15s, F-16s, Wart Hogs,
Apache Helos, Commanche helos, Black Hawk helos, Abrahms tanks,
Armored Hummers, Bradley personel carriers, heavy artillery,
cruise missles, computer aided satelite surveilance and guidance systems,
Hellfire armed drone aircraft, etc. and with over 175,000 extremely
well trained, well nuourished troops and a 8 billion dollar a month war chest,

EVEN STILL; The War in Iraq has still claimed,
ON AVERAGE EACH AND EVERY MONTH, FOR THE PAST 39 MONTHS:
60 American soldiers lives,
120 Iraqi soldiers and police lives,
641 innocent Iraqi civilian lives, including men, women and children.
?# of the alleged enemies lives.
Wounded and severely maimed 513 American soldiers and
countless more civillians, not only physically but also spiritually.

Over 33,000 dead people = 28,000 gallons of blood
probally enough to fill your pool!
swimming anybody?

With a monetary price tag of $1,700,000,000.00
thats 1 Trillon 700 Billion dollars and counting.

All this from fighting an enemy that ;
has NO air support,
NO heavy tanks or artillery,
who use mini pickup trucks instead of armored Humvees,
whose primary weapons are 39mm assualt rifles and IED's mostly
made from ordinace that "the Coalition Forces" failed to secure!

Due to this "shamefull failure" if I was a corral full of
Donkeys and Elephants, I would be ashamed to eat my daily ration of
straw provided by their Corporate Warmonger Zoo Keepers, who seem
to absolutely love this war!

What is a Warmonger?
My definition; it is someone who believes war is "OK" and some how
reaps a reward from it.

What possible reward can come frow the waging of a war?

There is one reward that sticks out in my mind and this is;
MONEY and lots of it!

Of course we have all heard how "money is the root of all evil", but
check it out; it is not money that is the root of al evil, it is the
"love" of money" which is the root of all evil.

I am sure you've heard;
"if you want to find out who is the culprit of some scam, follow the money".

Show me the Money! Show me the $1,700,000,000.00

Who stands to gain from war?
Unfortunately the whole country in some way, mostly because war
drives the economy well; very well as a matter of fact.

Some people say war is "great" for the economy and they are
absolutely correct.

I personally, would prefer an economy driven by love and understanding
rather than by hate and confusion.

It is the war(s) that are presently keeping the U.S. afloat. Without these
wars, because of all of the other failures of The Bush Administration,
Our Magnaminous Congress (who sold us out) and The Corporate Giants
who now own us, the country would most likely fall flat on it's face.

Of course there are those in our society who more directly reap the
rewards and stand to gain much more than most from the building of
nations and the spilling of blood.

These are the Kings and Queens of the "profiteers"; those that
suck the cream from the "Governments tits" as if it were the
very elixir of life itself!

These and "their families" are quite secure, but by such a nasty means
to an end I would say.

Those who own so very much, seem to have so very little of
what is truly important. We must educate their children of this sadness.

I am sure you feel it is "these" who should be blamed and you are quite
right, for it is these , who for their selfishness and greed disease our
nations body and thus instigate this bloody diarrhea called war.

Unfortunately this does not wash clean our blood stained hands;

AS A SOCIETY, "WE" HAVE ALLOWED
THIS ATROCITY TO TO BE BORN AND CONTINUE; EVEN NOW

Where have all the Billions gone?

The next time you look at your bank statement, find where it states
the dollar amount balance. This may be where some of the
$1,700,000,000 is!

NO WAY. YES WAY and by the way, that beautiful home you own or
are purchasing; yep some of the billions may be in it and yes of course
that hot to go sporty car and the college fund for your sons and daughters
and the steak and lobster dinner you consumed last night and the boat
and the doctors bills and the hospital bills and the electricity and the
gasoline and the clothier and the taxes and the etc.!

Do you get my point?

With every war there is the theaters of the war, the players and the tools
of which there are the bullets, cases and powder for the small arms and
artillery; the bombs, rockets, mortars and grenades; and then there are
all of the delivery components such as ships, missiles, planes, trucks,
tanks, and trains, etc.; and then there is all of the manufacturing factories
necessary to create these marvels of destruction and their counter parts.
Then there is the materials and support systems like food, clothing, fuel
and communications equipment required; and on and on and.

Which domino are you? Which domino am I?

Am I contributing to your delinquency? Are you contributing to mine?

Tell the guy who makes the bombs the war is over and he is now
out of a job; yeah right!

He just might tell you someone needs to start a new war, cause
he needs his job to feed his family and you could bet good money he is
a good father, loves: his wife, his children, his community and his country.

He also would most likely tell you he is very patriotic and he might even
use that old cliche "love it or leave it"!

Explain to someone the company they work for is a war mongering
company and they will argue with you and say NO WAY, cause they
only make one small metal part; how could they be making a living on
war and then you tell them: that the small metal part just so happens
to be a key component for a trigger mechanizm for a cruise missle
launcher or some other ungodly weapon designed to do one specfic
thing, which is to kill.

I lived in a small bustling city on the Ohio, in West "by God" Virginia;
near another community that, oh by the way; did have a manufacturing
plant that made components for the M-14 rifle.

This piece delivers a 308 caliber bullet; one of the NATO rounds.

The M-14 is a great weapon, super accurate, and it kills well.

I wonder how many in that community realized this fact?

PART #3. "I didn't know"!

I can't believe how ignorant and naive I was in 1968.
What in the hell was wrong with me?
"Join the Navy and see the world"!

I not only took the offering but also the line, the hook and the pole
as well; the same pole I feel "they"royally screwed me with.

On my 18th birthday, I joined the U.S. Navy. It was 1968.
At the end of May I entered "boot camp" and after graduation I was
to become a jet mechanic and was placed on my first duty station;
an aircraft carrier.

On January 1st, 1969, at about 8:00AM, one of Americas prime warships,
The USS Kitty Hawk, CVA 63 departed San Diego for
The Gulf Of Tonkin and helped drop bombs on Viet Nam
(and who knows where else), all year long.

Tons and Tons of death and destruction.

These bombs of which my hands touched, indiscrimanantly killed:
the alleged enemy, the Viet Cong and also through "friendly fire",
they killed American soldiers, allied soldiers, and innocent civillian men,
women and children.

Even if I had never touched a single bomb, because of my participation
and support of "the almighty war machine", my hands would still be
stained red from "the blood of the dead"; but since I helped bring
these death devices on board, the shade of bright crimson shall
forever tint my vision.

Do I claim victimization? Absolutely!

Ms. Coulter;
Does this now mean my words should not be heard or even spoken?

Earlier I stated I believed I got "shafted" by joining the Navy. Nobody
made me join, this is true. There was a draft at the time, but this was not
my motivation either.

I truly believe it was the sense of adventure that was the main motivator
for my decision and as it was to others, the service was just a means
to an end.

What end? A vehichle to transport "us" out of the norm, you know;
breaking out to ourselves, leaving the old behind, experiencing the
new and unknown.

Nothing evil or malicious; we were just lost wanting to be found.

I was so blinded by the needs of "myself", I could not see the "reality"
of the times.

Some did know what was going on and thank God they stood up for and
spoke out loudly and proudly their convictions. I only wish I would have
seen and understood the reality of that time, cause I am sure knowing
what I know now, I most definately would not have swallowed the bait
and bait is exactly what it was and still is.

The U.S.Government baits it's most vulnerable citizens; it's youth and
economically challenged, to "join up" for cash, or a better job, or a better
future, or some promise; anything to get them to sign on the dotted line,
so they will have the power to either use or abuse; mostly abuse.

The Viet Nam war was definately abuse and so is the present and past
war in Iraq.

PART #4. THE RRR,S DEFINED

During the Viet Nam War, there was a peaceful movement calling for
a "revolution" and an end to the Great Debacle that I believe would have
eventually suceeded earlier had it not been for a group of anti-war activist
known as the "Weathermen". "Their" goal to end the senseless killing
was "undone" by their violence. It has been said that "their" organization
was infiltrated by some who brought on the violence; either way, the
violence played against the desired outcome.

Though The "Weathermen" had good intentions, the whole anti-war
movement was hindered by their violence.

The "Weathermen" were not the only distractions to the anti-war
movement; there was alsothe racial divide, civil rights, abortion,
the womens liberation movement, drugs, the sexual revolution and
the basic questioning of "The Establishment's" values and authority.

All of these and more needed to be addressed, but I believe these
might have worked against each other and may have been the
reason why the anti-war movement wasn't more timely, effectual
and successful.

They say "hind sight is 20/20"!

Looking back should reveal all of the mistakes and weaknesses of a
movemnent and this clarity of vision should be the means by which
future movements may prevail.

Do not cloud the issues that are priority, by opening another front.
This is the means by which the establishment causes confusion;
confusion causes failures.

If you do not wish to succeed, itwould be better for the movement
that you did not even participate and woe to the enemy of the
movement or the traitor to the movement.

I say woe and that may imply to the reader that some sort of
violent demise might fall upon the enemy of the movement or
the traitor of the movement; "believe it not", for the movement
should always be "non-violent".

However, I must confess that when I see film of
peaceful protesters getting the shit beat out of them by
heavily armed, heavily armored, club toting, badge wearing
herds of people acting more like domineering pigs; I get a
little anxous and upset.

And, I must also confess, that when I see one of these acosted
peaceful protesters "pushed beyond patients", then retalliate and
score a direct hit square on the nose of one of these beasts,
it makes me want to jump up and shout out;
Yeah, "give it to him", that dirty bastard deserves it.

"I LOVE PORK, BUT PIGS MAKE ME SICK"

Police
Insolence
Governing
Society

insolence; arrogant, going beyond due bounds,

I know I would be wrong to engage in this activity and I know
I must remain strong and "not" give in to these drives or desires to
retaliate, however this is the "great dillema" we face:

"THEY" know we do not want to engage them and knowing this,
"some of them" who are beastly and dedicated to violence, will ; either
shoot or beat "some of us" to death anyway!

This is not a game; remember those at:
Kent State
Jackson State
Berkley
Columbia University
Paris,
Prauge,
Mexico city,
Tienaman Square.

No, of course I don't have all the answers, but I do know this:
If you think something is "not right", you should do something
about it; not only for your benefit but also for mine and that I
should do likewise for you.

If you believe and I believe the same and we stand together, then we
are twice the adversary; if you have a friend and I have a friend that
also belive as you and I, then we are four and then more and then
many more, untill we are a great multitude standing together in
unity speaking up, speaking out and speaking on
for whatever the need in harmony.

The Viet Nam anti-war protest was righteous in it's core and
I believe we need to get back to the righteousness of that day.

This War in Iraq, is wrong and make no mistake about it;
this war is not only nother Viet Nam, it is worse!

THE THREE RRR's:

THE RIGHTEOUS REVOLUTION REVIVAL

Musicians, Artists, Poets, Writers, Directors, Comedians and
All Peaceful People; do you see and understand this plight?

Stand up for all that is good and proper, this may be our last chance
to defend humanity.

This scribble of words are my honest, sincere and heartfelt opinions,
openly voiced to offer my vote of NO CONFIDENCE and NAY to:
The War called' Operation Iraqi Freedom" and all injustices.

How can something that was wrong from it's inception, ever be proper?

If you step in EVEPLEBEODIOUS, do you wash clean the shoe
or carry the stench with you?

4 DEAD IN OHIO / MAY 4TH, 1970
It's like this people; you gotta keep your kids in line.
It's not our problem that we killed 4 more of your children.
So what, after all, by this date we already killed over 40,000
of your precious ones; whats four more going to hurt.

Please understand, "it's nothing personal", why hell;
we didn't even know your kids and besides that;
every one knows that war is good for the economy, right!

We can't help it if we are good at what we do;
not every one knows how to kill well.

"TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL;
DON'T SEND THEM OFF TO HELL!" FCdN

AMENDED
"CANADIAN DEDICATION" VERSION
10/04/2010

Dear Canadians,
It is because of this:
Canada wants US war resisters to stay
• Paul Copeland
• guardian.co.uk,
Wednesday 29 September 2010 16.38 BST
• Article history
The case for Bill C-440, a seven-minute video on
the campaign to let US Iraq war resisters stay in Canada.
Video: WarResistersCanada

Based on:
US President Barack Obama's
31 August pronouncement and the uncritical TV news
coverage of it, it might be reasonable to believe that the
Iraq war is over.

The frustrating truth, however, is that for the Iraqi people,
for American soldiers who continue to be deployed to Iraq,
and for those US soldiers who refused to take part in the war
and sought refuge in Canada, the facts are very different.

Tom Kent,
the Associated Press's deputy managing
editorfor standards and production, explained it best
in a memo to the journalists working for his internationally
respected news organization earlier this month:

Bill C-440 is before parliament to legislate what most
Canadians approve: sanctuary for US soldiers who object
to the Iraq war

On Wednesday, Bill C-440 – an act to amend the
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (war resisters) –
will be voted on at second reading.

If passed, it will give the force of law to parliament's clear
direction and effect to the will of the majority of Canadians
that accepting Iraq war resisters is the right thing to do.

THIS SONG IS DEDICATED TO: ALL THE MANY
PEACE LOVING AND REASONABLE PEOPLE OF CANADA

PS.
The names of any other war torn cities can be placed in this song!

The "greatest mistake", was the:
"RUN & CUT" Afghan and Iraq War policy;
which was contrived by, installed by, and initiated by:
Preident, George W. (Long Shanks) Bush,
Vice President Dick Cheney,
Their Administration, along with the full support of
a great flock of war hawks, which even now continues
through and by the now presiding impostor president:
Barrack Hussein Obama(AKA Barry Soetoro) and
his administration.

THE ANSWER TO "THE QUESTION" OF
"THE LEGITAMACY"
OF THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN AND THE WAR
KNOWN AS "OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM",
IS PARAMOUNT TO "ANY SUBSEQUENT ACTION."

"If" these wars are illegitimate, this reality "must be" confronted
for what "it is" and a healing to all the wounds should be
implemented immediately with the proper remedial medications.

It is "critical" that any and all remedial procedures; up to and
including amputation of the "infected parts", be considered
to ensure a quick and positive effect to "the healing" process,
before the rot of gangrene sets in and delivers this body(America)
to the grave....

The ointments of "ATONEMENT" and "FORGIVENESS"
need to be applied copiously.

My heart is sorely afflicted and full of the puss of injustice.
So say "the people"? Can I get an amen?

32. As the scene shifts to the lead casket and entourage of the procession,
the lead casket with it's entourage will fast forward on beat to the
designated town or city of burial on the overview U.S. map.

33. The map will be marked by many sites who have already
received their fallen.

34. The entourage will deliver the casket to the video openig;
the grave sight ceremony thereby completing the cycle of respect.

35. The image of the entourage members will then dissipate back
into infamy and rest, their respectful duty completed.

36. Video / post script roll over U.S. map with over
4,000s of flag draped caskets:

This song TWO MORE DOWN / TWO MORE GONE
was written when there were 1,000 American soldiers
killed from The War known as "Operation Iraqi Freedom".

At present, the death toll is at 4,209 and steadily rising.

Over 25,000 American soldiers minds, bodies and spirits are
wounded; many horribly and permanetly maimed.

The suicidal death toll of many American soldiers returning from
this war is extremely and unusually high in numbers.

The death toll of wounded and killed of "The Alliance Forces" and
the alleged enemy are also high and as weighty of a burden on the
hearts of "their" loved ones.

The death toll of innocent men, women and children is
well over 100,000 and some say as much as 650,000 if not more.
The river of tears for these will never run dry.

The loved ones and friends of these many dead and wounded
have been sent a terrible message of "shock and awe", that will
forever plauqe their spirits and hinder their peace

A crhonology: American soldiers fallen (Asf)
10/20/06 - 2.12 deaths per day (dpd)
01/28/07 - 3,070 Asf divided by 1,411 days of war = 2.18 dpd
03/18/07 - 3,210 Asf divided by 1,460 days of war = 2.19 dpd
hence the Title; TWO MORE DOWN / TWO MORE GONE

Which two will it be today and which two will it be tommorrow?

Math:
Drum Major, 1ft + 6ft interval +
Drummer and Piper, 1ft + 6ft interval +
casket @7ft +6ft interval = 27ft total length of 1 entourage

27ft x 4,209 fallen = 113,643ft divided by 5,280ft (1 mile) = 21.5 miles
21.5 mile long procession

9 ghosts of Viet Nam per fallen x 4,209 fallen =
37,881 entourage members

58,000 fallen soldiers of The Viet Nam War (conflict)
58,000 - 37,881 entourage members = 21,000 spectators left
21,000 divided by 2 = 10,500 spectators per side of procession
3ft width per spectator + 2ft interval = 5ft x 10,500 = 52,500ft
52,500 divided by 5,280ft (1 mile) = a tad less than 10 miles long
spectator line length 10 miles.

Blood; 7 pints x 16 ounces = 112 ounces per person

American: 4,209 dead x 112 ounces = 471,408 ounces
471,408 ounces divided by 128 ounces (1gallon) = 3,680 gallons
approximately 1-standard gasoline tanker truck 1/2 full

Iraqi: civillian men, women and children 650,000 dead
650,000 x 112 ounces = 72,800,00 ounces
72,800,000 ounces divided by 128 ounces (1 gallon) = 568,000
approximately 567 standard gasoline tanker trucks full
60ft tanker length x 567 tankers = 34,020 divided by 5,280ft =
blood tanker to blood tanker line = 6.5 miles long
Puts a new twist on blood line does'nt it!



As I said; CARRY ON

I am FranCisco d Nostromo I have spoken and I will speak again.
It's your turn now!

PS.
At yesterdays writing I added the suicidal script to the post script.
Last night I called a friend to say hello and I heard this message:

This is Cliff S...., this is my last message.
On November 20th, I took my own life.

That was all I heard. I thought it was some kind of prank my
witty friend was pulling, but in my heart I worried.

I then called another whom was also a friend to this wonderful
person named Cliff and left a message asking him whats up and
that I was worried about Cliff.

I then, within five minutes received a call back and was told
Cliff had been dead for the past 20 days.

Of course I was crushed. Suicide not only kills the one who takes
their own life, it also kills the future of those they leave behind.
So please, to those of you who are considering taking your own life;
consider even more; the spirit of those who love and care about you.

My friend Cliff was not a soldier or even involved with this ugly and
unjust war; he was just a very unhappy and lonely man.

Please, help make someone happy.

Goodbye Cliff

OF THESE
ARE YOU?

I am FranCisco d Nostromo

It's your turn now!

8. PATRIOTISM
POST 03/19/03

The Flag Of The United States Of America,
the very symbol of the cause;
should never touch the ground or be disrespected.

The cause is righteousness, the basis of freedom.

The flag of America;
this symbol known throughout the world,
though dearly loved, it is also bitterly hated.
Therefore, as an American,
"I" am loved and hated!

It is the righteousness;
that the people of the world loved and respected.

"WE THE PEOPLE",
are not the authors of this righteousness;
"WE" are only the benefactors,
it is up to us to share it with each other.

To me the flag always meant;
that "WE" would never be the aggressor,
that "WE" would always be a defender.

The "pre-emptive strike"
on the sovereign nation of Iraq,
was an aggressive act militarily and
an aggressive act against not only "my beliefs",
but also against the beliefs of "Our Founding Fathers".

Many of us as citizens are quite skeptical
of "OUR" governments activities;
how much more so is the rest of the world?

Some of us as citizens fight to protect
our constitutional values from being corrupted;
but many American citizens
do nothing to promote our creed,
or for that matter their very "own" rights!
It is "these";
who when gathered together form great multitudes.
It is also "these";
who by not taking a stand
unduly burden the rest.

Those of the world who loved America,
loved her for "HER" precepts of freedom.

By becoming the first strike aggressor,
the world has lost faith in America and therefore
lost faith in us as American citizens,
believing that all of us are aggressors.

All aspects of vital importance,
including the "real"
gravity and depth of the potential threat;
should have been defined and shared with
"WE THE PEOPLE".

"WE" deserve as much from "OUR" government...
IF NOT MORE!

An open national debate should have preceded
a special national vote of the people,
to determine and profess,
a true consensus of opinion and desire.

"WE THE PEOPLE" are
the checks and balance system
of "OUR" government.

"WE THE PEOPLE" are the "responsible parties";
if "WE" accept the "glory",
shall "WE" not;
also be obligated to accept the "blame"?

The refusal of "a government" / "any government",
to convey to it's people the complete agenda,
is in itself an act of deception.

Deception breeds distrust and skepticism;
skepticism breeds contempt; contempt breeds dissent;
dissent breeds rebellion;
rebellion breeds revolution and violence;
violence breeds blood shed; and as we all know,
bloodshed breeds flies;
millions of them and their maggots
feed on the flesh of both;
the innocent and the guilty,
the just and the unjust.

If it is an"offence"
to drag America's flag on the ground;
how much greater is the offence,
now that
"HER" precious red, white and blue gown
has been put through the shredder and
"SHE" now lies naked and bruised,
in the sight of all mankind.

If "OUR" nation "is" or "was" ever in
"grave danger",
"WE" should "fight the good fight"
to the death.

In the stead;
By "giving up" on "OUR" BELIEFS AND STANDARDS,
"WE" have committed "suicide.

Give "US" the TRUTH
that enables "US" to make sound decisions.

To say you have the right to do,
does not make what you do right.

"To differ in opinion is our right,
To differ from the truth is our fault"

Sincerely,
"NOT" your most perfect or patriotic citizen

I am FranCisco d Nostromo
I have spoken and I will speak again.
It's your turn now!

7. OBITUARY
.......IN PASSING......

After 226 years, 7 months and 15 days of life;
On March 19th, 2003, at 7:12pm est.: America....."The Beautiful" died.

The World watched with shock and awe, as her assisted suicide was
wrought, at the hand of her commander in chief....G.W.(Long Shanks) Bush.

Though "she" was conceived and born through much travail and
aggression, "her" wonderful precepts of freedom, justice and liberty for all,
were made tangible by the signing of:

The Declaration Of Independence
The U.S. Constitution
The Bill Of Rights

For 226 years, generations of "her" citizens, many of whom;
ruined and sacrificed their lives defending her glorious precepts;
strove forward through time, with hope and purpose;
based upon one important belief:

TO NEVER BE THE AGGRESSOR, AGAINST ANY OTHER,
FOR ANY REASON EXCEPT: LEGITAMATE WAR SCENARIOS.

Of Americas Wars there have been many:
The Wars with the Native Peoples of "Her" Borders,
The American Revolutionary War, The War of 1812, The Civil War,
The Spanish American War, the Mexican War,
World War I, World War II, The Korean War, The Viet Nam War,
The "Cold War" , The War in Grenada, The Gulf War; "Iraq",
The War in Bosnia, The War in Afganistan, and now again,
The War in "Iraq": "Operation Iraqi Freedom"

It is by this device, "Operation Iraqi Freedom" that "SHE",
America...."The Beautiful" has perished.

By becoming the"First Strike Agressor",
America....."The Beautiful" gave up the ghost and passed into infamy.

Many of the World, long believing in "her" shinning precepts of
Freedom and Democracy, took example and followed suit,
to hopefully attain the same great rewards.

Now, these many mourn at "her" passing and so they should;
for at her last gasp, "she" took with "her" to the grave, peace.

Oh peace, most beautiful peace;
you too are gone from the earth.

Will you ever visit us again?
Come back to us please, we beg of you.

At this solemn moment;
one wishes to deny the truth, saying "NO" this is not possible:
for one says, I have seen "her" here and
yet another says; I have seen "her" there!
But these are lies based upon futile hope. Believe it not,
for: "She" is gone......"She" has passed......"She" is not.

To those of you who contributed to "her" demise;
your guilt is obvious, your sentence "I" can not pass.

To those of you who tried desperately to save "her", though in vain;
I salute you.

It is now time to say goodbye:

So bye, bye Miss American pie;
drove their Humvee's to the desert,
in the desert they died.

and good "ole" boys were drinking whiskey and rye;
as the bombs fell down through the sky;
as the bombs fell down "she" died.

Now, the stench of "her" rotting carcase offends the nostrills of all the world.

On that terrible day, March 19th, 2003, that which made America "Beautiful";
"her" righteous heart;.......quit beating......and "her" soul now lay in the ashes.

Whether "her" spirit can rise up from the ashes like
the mythical creature Phoenix, remains to be seen.

These are words I have been given, are they;
more than sentiment, or mere opinion?

6. EITHER / OR: PEACE OR WAR

The power of the pen or the power of the fist;
which will it be that you put on your list of
things to do when the future comes,
will you sing for peace or beat war drums?

What will you do with the many voices of reason
so loudly ringing in your ear;
will you stand tall, proud and uprightly or
shamefully cower down in fear?

What will yu do if you feel you are wrong;
will you change your tune or
sing the same song?

Which will it be from which you choose;
will we all win or we all lose?

Decisions, decisions, what , if and when;
will you scribe healing words in ink with your pen?
Which will it be that you put on your list;
hopefully not draw blood with your almighty fist!

To you the power is given whether either / or;
will it be love, understanding and peace;
or hate, confusion and war?

Should you choose the latter;
"SHE" shall surely die,
and her loss shall be lamented
as ashes fill the sky.

FranCisco d Nostromo 030303

On 031903,
"HE" George W. (Long Shanks) Bush, chose the latter:
hate, confusion and war.

Which will it be that YOU put on your list?

"From the very beginning I detested the vile flavor of drink issued
from the presses of war and murder;
and yet, the bitter wine of their fruits eversteadily flows into my mouth,
thereby forcing me to swallow their poisins of hate and greed.

My parched raw pallet, patiently awaits the end of the burning pain
of bloodshed and the new beginning; to quench my thirst with the sweet
tasting, coolness of peace". Thus sayeth the "Earth"

"The voice of thy brothers blood, crieth unto me from the ground and
now thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth
to recieve thy brothers blood from thy hand" Thus sayeth "THE LORD"

"Son; thy sins be forgiven thee" Thus also sayeth "THE LORD"

"If I ask you for forgiveness; will you give it to me or
will you perish with your hate"? FCdN

next: ON THE SUBJECT OF WAR

WELCOME MY FELLOW HUMANS

EVEPLEBE-ODIOUS
#1., 2. and 3

There is this lush, green, grassy pasture,
surrounded by a secure fence.

All over this pasture lay many piles of
bovine droppings.

Standing amongst these many piles of
bovine droppings are two bovine;

a steer and a bull.

Concerning these bovine droppings;
obviously there are two types:

Steer Shit and Bull Shit.

Now when it comes to Steer Shit we people
absolutely love it; as we buy it by the bags
full and the truck loads.

However it seems, when it comes to Bull Shit;


NO ONE wants anything to do with it!

So, the question arises; How does one
decipher the good shit, from the bad shit
in the pasture?

Answer: Use your God given
eveplebe-odious meter!

You say you don't believe in God.

Then use the sense of a good mother!

eveplebe-odious, (e-v-ple-b-o-d-s),
Bull Shit, stinky (very)

Abbreviation; eveplebe

FranCisco d Nostromo (FCdN)


2. CELEBRITIES:
WHY SHOULD WE LISTEN TO THEM?

"WE ARE JUST LIKE YOU"!
David Burn, "American Morning" 030203

We now look to actors, producers, musicians and comedians as being
role models, hopefully good ones.

But in the early times of "these industries", these wre usually just
thought of as; well as just actors, producers, musicians, and comedians!

The times have changed, today there is much more emphasis placed on
their "real life" charactor's; either good or bad, naughty or nice,
giving or greedy.... sometimes they are schmoozed and sometimes
they are butchered and put on ice.

They are; get this, human being's!

The main difference between "they" and "we"; "they" are in the
"limelight" and because of this exposure when they speak, their voice
becomes greatly amplified thereby filling the "HALL" with their noise.

Writers, producers, actors, comedians and musicians realize their power
and use it for one reason or another.; these give "the public" something
to chew on. through their productions many issues have been exposed
and examined; much education and great good has come from
their ventures. However, I am fully aware of the fact, that
"much eveplebeodious" has also been served up!


We put the celebrities on pedestals; we admire them for their works and
now you wish to denude them by asking;
"why should we listen to them" when they say:
NO WAR, NO NUKES, NO BRUTALITY, NO OIL (fuel) and:
YES CLEAN ELECTRIC, YES SOLAR POWER, YES WIND POWER,
YES HYDROGEN POWER, YES TO DIPLOMACY and
YES, PLEASE HELP YOUR FELLOW EARTHLING IN NEED.

These "celebrities" also are "citizens" of "our society" and I think the
real question should be; "why would we not listen to them"?

Maybe by being in the "limelight", some of our celebrities feel a
greater sense of responsibility to help motivate and promote the issues
that"they" earnestly believe in. Maybe they are just people wanting to
assist other people!

When anyone speaks , we should measure their fullness,feel their words
and absorb their compassion just as we also wish to heard and understood.

Shall we wage war on celebrities who wish for peace, prosperity and
longer, better quality of life for others?

Sean Penn' just one man, just one voice!
An idealist? Maybe. A patriot? No doubt. A fool? I think not.
Bono, The Baldwins, Springsteen, Mellencamp, Mr. Cosby, Whoppi,
The Sheens, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, Michael Moore,
The Dixie Chicks, Rosie O Donnel, Brad Pitt and Angelina,
Jane Fonda, as well as a myriad host of others.

These "risk" their careers to exercise "their" mouths right to speak
"their" hearts message.

I sincerely believe it "was not" Jane Fonda's desire to be "unpatriotic"
or "treasoness". simply, it was "her" means to illustrate "her"
compassion and zeal to save lives; lives on both sides of an "ugly war"!

The right to speak ones mind without fear of retribution or demise, is
but one of "our freedoms". However, protection from ridicule is
not promised for speaking ones mind. It is the fear of ridicule that
lashes the tounges of some of us ; I dare say many of us. To those
who fear the ridicule; though the pill may be bitter for a time, perhaps
in some cases a long time; the benefits of your bravery may
tremendously alter the future for the good of many.

SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT, SPEAK ON; WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

Surely one needs to intently listen to the hammering on the typani
membrane of "ones" own tounge being ever aware of 'it's' awesome
destuctive power.

How many tears have flowed from our eyes because of the sensitive,
powerful portrayals of humanity, these we call "actors' have given to us?
This is called the understanding of passion.

How much laughter created by these we call "comedians", has been
extracted from our gut, while at the same time illustrating how imperfect
we may be!
this is called genius.

How much light has been shed upon the darkness by documentary"s,
given and shared with us by those we call "producers"?
This is the expression of concern for fellow humans.

Let us not forget our poets, writers and musicians as they speak and
sing of the beautiful and the ugly, the happy and the sad, of love and hate,
of life and death, of then and now and all of the terrible or wonderful
possibilities of what may be.
This is is the expression of understanding and wisdom.

And "YOU" ask the question "why should we listen to them"?!

Oh, to have one of these "famous ones" attend a charity function or
private party at "OUR" request, thereby honoring "US",;
Look who's here with "US", "WE" have a celebrity amongst "US";
Just look at "US" now!

We must certify the real reason we celebrate "these people";
The simple truth, David Burn is quite right; "they are just like us";
Therefore we should treat them as "WE" wish to be treated with
respect,with courtesy, with dignity, with understanding,
with compassion and with kindness.

What more can be said except for maybe, who am I and
why should you listen to me?

I am FranCisco d Nostromo I have spoken and I will speak again.
It's your turn now!

3. MISSION STATEMENT

I'm not seeking
fortune and fame;
I'm just trying to help...
alleviate pain.

The words I speak
are from the doves beak;
always to be true,
though sometimes bleak.

Some of my words may seem
hard like a rock;
still they pass not from
the beak of a hawk.

Very hard I'll try to
help my fellow man;
Tiz against corruption,
strife and hunger,
I will take my stand.

Keep me free from hypocrisy.

FCdN

To the reader,

I have some values and principles; also
some views and opinions.
The latter, I feel need to be heard for
whatever the reasons!

The content of my writing, is more
commentary and fixed in opinion;
and at this time I open myself to your
critique, either pro or con.

I feel compelled to write my heart for
various different reasons, of which two
stand out ahead of others:

1. I am angry as hell at the hypocrisy
I am forced to live under and so too;
my heart is sorely afflicted and full of
the puss of injustice.

2. Being a socially oriented human, I feel an
obligation to my fellow human in this manner;

If any need should arise and if there be
any way I am able to help.......I should do so.

By writing I hope to help expose situations
from "my" point of view and thus
stir up debate.

This debate is intended to help rectify or
correct that which may need
rectification or correction.

I do not claim to be grossly illiterate nor
do I claim to be well educated.

You will find much of my work is not dated,
however the issues themselves may interpret
the time of script.

Much of my work has been previously written;
sometimes many years prior to publishing.

My writing skills at best, are obviously minimal
and I wish you to please overlook my
grammatical errors; however
feel free to (as I know you will) trounce me
for what I believe and purport to be.


By the way, being perfect is not something
I purport to be.

As I sit and consider these words that I
have spoken; I begin to ponder a space full
of a thick, pasty substance matter known as
hypocrisy.

As I stare into the mirror of "my history" ,
I intently study my past works of
dissent against the truth.

These unjust works brightly glare back at me
as a hot flaming fire.

It is when I gaze at these revealing images,
that I become singed, stunned and transfixed
by "my" errors.

How selfish and arrogant I was.

"for in me lies no good thing" someone once said!

It is by this realization I conclude;
that I am not worthy to speak "for the people".

Therefore I will speak "for myself" with hopes,
that if any "goodness or prosperity of spirit"
come of it, that I would feel more whole as
a social human being, by being able to share
that which I have been given.

I do my best to defeat EGO and can only hope
that somewhere, somehow, I didn't get
blindsided and I am actually feeding a monster,
rather than keeping it at bay.

That would be "pretty lost" huh!

I believe my compulsion to write is more
driven by my intent to assist, rather than my
need to vent my admitted frustrations.

With this being stated, I consider the time I
spend writing as being sacrificed, rather
than stolen; even though the time spent writing
could be spent enjoying my true passions in life.

I feel my obligation to my fellow human
is more important than any other passion
and therefore,
I must or should act accordingly.

As a only one voice of a great choir, I pray that
your eyes be opened and that you not only
see the truth, but also accept it.

You might pray for me,
that I hold true to my faith.

I am FranCisco d Nostromo
I have spoken and I will speak again.
It's your turn now!
