A WORLD OF WONDER
The world changed while it was sleeping. The pinpoint crush of technologies coming online was too much for a subdued dawn with a gentle yellow disc coming up slowly over a distant horizon. The day broke, not the morning, breaking breakfast came with no biscuits and gravy layered down for either taste, nutrition, or warmth. The massive exposure of television transmissions, now seen on giant screens that only a few years back would have cost thousands but now cost pennies, the screens of desk, laptop and iPads come alive with no boot up time anymore and cell phones are not held, pocketed nor carried by almost everyone alive as they embedded psychologically if not physically into the very hustled existence of our lives.
Even from his faux gold-adorned oval office, broken in mind and tattered in body, the most powerful nation’s leader awakens the population every day with ‘tweets’ penetrating in from the night. If he does not supply the outrage of the first seconds, minutes, hours on into the day, then there is no light, no emotion, and no interest from a public so battered it has all forms of brain damage syndromes.
Days ago, it was that the President was dead, then he wasn’t but was about to be, then he went to the U.S. Open tennis contest, but not as a real human, but as a doddering caricature of one. The emperor wears no clothes, than one time old child’s fable becomes ever more evident as this misplaced and mispronounced words out the world are sanitized by a media and followers who simply will not hear them, and the crowds shouting insults, booing and more are filtered out by a media that is not aware that National Suicide Month might not just be important for individuals considering leaving the planet early but for a culture that may be doing the same thing.
Dog the Bounty Hunter was a popular television show a few years back. The man who was called Dog was perfectly awful as a human being. He abused everyone, especially his employees and family members. Why was this show so popular? For the same reason that the lesson applies to her in this article and to the nation at this time. The public was fascinated and attracted back to each show because it was all so outrageous, awful, and stupid in so many ways. Every show grew in popularity until the Dog was finally arrested and thrown in jail. The outrage became somehow addictive to many people, one would never think might be influenced.
Dog the Bounty Hunter is, for all intents and purposes, the President of the United States. Each day, he presents a new outrage, even killing eleven people in a boat off the Venezuelan coast because they were suspected of being drug dealers (even though there were unaccountably eleven of them, and six were likely females). They were not killed or murdered because they were suspected drug dealers, however. They were killed because they were simply the outrage of the day, necessary to keep the Rocky Horror Show running, and also being used to brush block everything else (think Epstein) aside or keep it in the background. What is the new wonder we will all wake up to tomorrow morning?
Be assured that there will now be one, and that is to go on for some time into the future, until the world turns far enough in its orbital path to come back the other way.
