The administration did eventually say that there will be an invesstigation
of the attack on the hospital. That was far short of an apology because
apparently, an apology might give the impression that perhaps we did
something truly wrong. But the promise of an investigation was, at least, a
tacit admission that something happened that, perhaps, should have not.

Good Monday Morning Abdulah and All Eager Listers.
Here it is, the First Monday in October. The day our unbiased Supreme Court
convenes to once again uphold our Constitution and keep us all safe from
Terror.
Another historic event on this glorious day, an agreement has been reached
on the long awaited TPP. Once signed, we peons will have a much better
definition of our place in this emerging International Corporate
Empire(ICE).
But one item I seem to have missed. I heard our President's impassioned
speech concerning the mass murders in Roseburg, Oregon, at the UCC, but
where is his outcry of rage over the murder of Doctor's Without Borders and
their patients in the hospital in Afghanistan?
Are we really expected to believe that our Prince of Peace, Barak Obama, is
going along with the imbecilic fabrication that this mass murder was simply
"collateral damage"?
Or is he going to wait until the smoke clears and anger subsides, to tell us
how sad he is.
Abdulah, that is what I mean by Americans being conditioned in how we
receive information. We are fed certain information in a way to elicit the
desired response. And the response is always directed toward our Nation
being the Greatest Nation Ever! We are conditioned to accept the Fairy Tale
that we are the World's Peace Keepers. Such messages are woven throughout
our daily feeding of what we call "News". We have been trained to ignore
the items that do not fit our Fairy Tale. So we can read about a hospital
being destroyed and innocent people murdered, while believing that it is
simply a mistake or collateral damage. That is because we've been
conditioned to accept our Peace-Loving Nature, so of course we would never
do such a thing intentionally.
And so, woven into our "Make Believe World", is the thread that Terrorists
are wanting to plunder our glorious Land of Plenty. And those Terrorists
are Muslims. Of course they used to be Japanese and Nazis and then
Communists from the hated Soviet Union. At times the Terrorists are Black,
and at other times they are Jews. While we get along with the Arabs, we
don't really trust them.
And on it goes. lies like silken threads, woven through our so called news.
Abdulah, our greatest weapon is our ability to think. That ability is being
constantly attacked.
Our greatest enemy is within our nation's borders. It is the Mass Media.
When radio, and later TV, became the transporter of our news, surrounded by
sponsors lying through their teeth to shake our dollars loose, we had begun
to allow ourselves to be taken over. Is it too late to turn back? Only
time will tell.

Exactly so, Roger. As you have pointed out so many times, words have
real power.
Following my recent medical procedure, an ablation of the heart, a
friend dropped by and commented that I was looking alert in a very
relaxed way. I took it as an attempt to let me know that I was
looking much improved.
After he took off, I turned to Cathy and beamed. "I'm a fast healer.
Sturdy Pioneer stock does it." Cathy said, "Alert in a relaxed way?
You have your pants unbuckled and your zipper down, and your hair
looks like a herd of ducks slept there all night."
Suddenly I had lost that feeling of well-being and told Cathy, "Think
I'll hobble to bed and take a nap".
Whether we admit it or not, we subconsciously respond to words. Some
words have broad definitions and can be used to guide our thinking.
Some words have very different meanings for each of us, and must be
used carefully in order to be effective. Often the first verbal
impression sets a tone that is hard to overcome. A local TV reporter
put it this way. "Are Seattle teachers putting their own demands
ahead of their students well being? As teachers turn their backs on
their duties, harried parents scramble to find safe care for their
children."
No one said the teachers had no right in demanding a decent wage, but
I had the impression of a bunch of hard faced men and women turning
away from little children who are weeping and begging to be taught.
And how many of us have been one of those harried parents? I put in
my time as a single parent.
Each of us responds to this news item from our own experiences. But
most of us will be feeling empathy for the harried parents and worried
over the safety of the children. The teachers become just a bit more
removed from our sympathies. And yet, many of these teachers are
parents. Some are single parents. They are struggling to provide for
their children, too. But by the words chosen, and the emphasis placed
on the harried parents and the children's safety, these teachers
become "things" rather than equal members of the community.
Frankly, we have been conditioned on how to receive information.
Until we decide that it is our responsibility to think about what is
being fed us, and why, we will go along, being tugged this way and
that without ever understanding that we are being played like puppets
on a string.

Have you ever noticed that when one of these mass shootings is
perpetrated by a white guy it is always explained as mental illness
and when the perpetrator is anyone else it is terrorism?
