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...

PRESIDENT OBAMA PREPARES DEPARTURE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE WITH MOST UNPRECEDENTED CRIMINAL PARDON: HILLARY CLINTON JULY 1, 2016  We have all know of  the chance meeting of former President Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch on an Arizona tarmac. It is a moment legalists will agree was ill-advised no matter how harmless the nature of their chit-chat.  GOP leaders and Radical Republican media pundits are making full use of the fodder to cry foul as it fuels speculation of the former President tampering with the Justice Department to overrule any potential criminal findings by the FBI, the agency investigating the Hillary Clinton cyber bag of  emails. If Bill Clinton's brief encounter is not enough to cast an iota of suspicion, then President Obama took it to an atmosphere that will catch some gasping for air. POLITICALSITENEWS.COM broke a story reporting that under the President's order the Justice Department file ...

ISIS TERROR DENIES BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS, IMPOSES DISTORTED VIEW UPON THE PEACEFUL  (Photo 1) MOSUL MUSEUM Destruction   (Photo 2) Is this not one of the veiled oppressed showing their muscle? The Huffington Post* Reports in Sunday's yet another Islamic State Abomination. ISIS employs tactics of subjugation of the territory under control, includes murder of THE INNOCENTS and brutal executions of hostages uploaded to the Internet where WE then label it VIRAL. It does not end there. (Go to Huffington link below for story and comments) Upon reading this current Huffington Post and prior reports by U.S. foreign press, BBC World, and Reuters I came to a decision to add my own comments to those following the story. Conversations Gary Grzymkowski  ·  Wayne State University This is a crime against their own people, an affront to civilization everywhere. This is  heritage, history and building blocks of all human society. I b...

"Something is happening here, What it is...is not exactly clear. There's a Man with a Gun over there, Saying You Got to Beware..." They Sell the Catch Phrase                    "Everything Is Fluid"  I received an email forwarded by a cohort espousing this date in history as one when the Women’s Right to Vote won approval as the  19th amendment to our Constitution. It  is more of a timeline and summary of the events leading up to final vote.    However, I do not believe many of us know of just how emotional and physical impact for the activists. The movement or fight was prolonged and bitter over decades! W omen were abused, incarcerated and force-fed because of their Activism.  The fight for Women's Rights began July of 1848 with the formation of a Women’s Rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York. The battle persisted first in our Nation’s Congress where it barely passed both House and Senate...

IRAQ - A Perfect Example of American Failure to Act on Democratic Principles We Espouse "We the People" now have the truth of "Our" Government's flagrant use of propaganda, disinformation, white noise, misinformation and outright lies found in blunder after blunder in IRAQ. This expedition to uncover hideous WMDs, free the Iraqi people with democracy and "promote" or protect our national interest is "malarkey." Our wild expedition into Iraq and now the astonishing and rapid collapse of government serves as a summary of our failures and the corruption operating in Washington. The well publicized blunders and those not yet well publicized are not new. Our operative intervention in Iraq has a history in our past. Our history serves as a timeline of government repetitive failures. Korea, the Cold War, Vietnam, the so-called war on drugs in South America, Libya, Egypt, Afghanistan and Iraq are the obvious. There is a commonality in all of t...

I R A Q    IS … IS In A Freefall! OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM is MISSION UNACCOMPLISHED Or “MISSION IMPOSSIBLE?” The Colossal Failure of the U.S. in IRAQ Should Serve A Wake-Up Call for “We the People” MISSION ACCOMPLISHED   These are just a few of potential ideas for a title for the blog http://livingonthediagonal.blogspot.com/ as they came to overwhelm my brain.  There is a deluge of information transmitted daily by the BBC-Network and Reuters over the Internet since Monday this week. As I viewed, the photographs, read, watched live reports and some shocking videos, my mind was on overload and confusion. I decided to waste time in checking what our major networks were up to as Mosul is being “overrun” by ISIS. This group is the latest to enter the fray and go by Islamic State of Iraq and Syria ) .  Every news program kept their focus on the tired over analysis of stories of Benghazi, Bergdahl, Eric Cantor and Hillary’s new bo...
