A PRIMER FOR A NEW GENERATION AND THE COMING POLITICAL REVOLUTION  Note: A follow-up to: THE PROPHECY OF BOB DYLAN - "A HARD RAIN'S A-GONNA FALL" - AND IT IS TORRENTIAL - Updated As I reflected upon Dylan's lyrics some 60 years ago and my own images and words came to mind. From the age of thirteen the music and lyrics of Bob Dylan created an awakening within me of enormous impact. The tumultuous events of the 1960s affected the lives of everyone beginning with the threat of nuclear catastrophe. What followed was a movement among citizens to more closely scrutinize the world around them. The Kennedy assassination shocked a nation, his successor Lyndon B. Johnson continued the legacy with passage of Civil Rights, Voting Rights, Medicare and many programs as part of The Great Society. President Johnson's domestic achievements were monumental as not seen since FDR's New Deal. However, under his administration the War in Vietnam escalated to the degre...

THE PROPHECY OF BOB DYLAN - "A HARD RAIN'S A-GONNA FALL"     Many believed one true genius before his time, composed music and lyrics true in 1962 and it holds the same truth today. Bob Dylan became the voice of a new generation, for the disenfranchised and those denied justice. The times subjugated a population to a system being born coming to fruition.    "The Free Wheel'n Bob Dylan"  became an American classic during its own tenure. However, Dylan became the lyrical prophet for a nation ridden with lies to the people. The promise of liberty and justice began to unravel. Our democratic way of life dissolved into the oligarchy in place today who took no prisoners. The arrogance is found in the percentage we all now know.   "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" is song that has often come to mind in recent years and dominates my images of the surreal, the obnoxious and the untruths of the current elec...

ALL EYES ARE ON MICHIGAN PRIMARY: WHY BLACKS NEED TO "FEEL THE BERN"  & VOTE FOR SANDERS    "A FUTURE TO BELIEVE IN" - SANDERS HAS A RECORD IN HIS FIGHT FOR JUSTICE & EQUALITY   To Black, Hispanic and All Voters in Michigan, Your Time is NOW!  VOTE FOR BERNIE SANDERS on Tuesday!   Detroit & Flint, MI (updated March 6, 2016)   The Truth is   Bernie Sanders up to this time has been snubbed by Black leadership with a blanket endorsement of Hillary Clinton. The rationale has been to stick with someone "they know." This kind of thinking among white male voters gave a second term to George W. Bush and WE all know where that led. And, President Obama inherited not only Bush blunders but the blame for income inequality, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the collapse of the economy at the hands of Wall Street.   The old ways are not working . It is ti...

FLINT : TAMPERING with WATER SUPPLY = INTERNAL THREAT of TERRORISM and to NATIONAL SECURITY   Would PAUL RYAN, RICK SANTORUM, TED CRUZ...bathe their children in this water?   Is it just a matter of semantics when FEMA disqualified the Flint Water Crisis as not the product of a natural disaster, but man-made? If that is the case, then it can be labeled as an act of terror from within. Internal acts of terrorism including tampering with our drinking water has been the topic of discussion in recent weeks. The existence of terrorist cells within the USA is a matter of concern and increased monitoring by all intelligence agencies. And a case can be made that even an act of negligence (in the least) is qualified for DHS (Department of Homeland Security ) to intervene with any and all resources to address the rehabilitation and security in Flint. The release of Michigan Governor Rick Snyder's email has only muddied the Flint River tragic poisoning. The large sampling ap...
