I was thinking that I should not be dealing in poetry since I really have little knowledge about what it is about. Have you ever seen a paradox?
One of my son’s appreciates it and understands it which makes me recognize my shortcomings. None the less, I persist in putting some forth.
Last Wednesday I wrote about W. B. Yeats and his short poem on youth and age. It brought thoughts to my mind that perhaps some of his other poems would be suited for a Wednesday. The first I thought about was An Irish Airman Forsees His Death. This poem was written as a tribute to Robert Gregory, the only son of Sir William & Lady Augusta Gregory of Coole park, who died when his Sopwith F1 Camel crashed. It expressed the conundrum of an Irishman who dons a British uniform.
I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan’s poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public man, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.
Then there is this which is said to have been written by Yeats because of his unrequited love for Maud Gonne.
- When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
- And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
- And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
- Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
- How many loved your moments of glad grace,
- And loved your beauty with love false or true,
- But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
- And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
- And bending down beside the glowing bars,
- Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
- And paced upon the mountains overhead
- And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
The poem that most reflects upon our time is The Second Coming: How can one not read it and think of the horridness of Trump and his destruction of America as and effective actor on the world stage.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
‘Tis enough. I end with this:
- Much have I wandered over Sandymount’s beach;
- Stared at the waters of the sea beyond reach;
- Thinking of those residing on that other shore
- In Holyhead there lives our enemies of yore

Fauci’s guy prepares us for the bad news that masks and social distancing don’t work against mutated virus
The NY POST got some fascinating quotes from the Senior Scientific Advisor in Tony Fauci’s office, David Morens. Morens recently coauthored an article with Fauci (which I discussed here) in which the two of them instructed us that we need to learn to live more harmoniously with nature, or “we will increasingly provoke new disease emergences. Yup, Fauci and Morens are telling us the pandemic is our own fault. Here’s the full quote:
“The COVID-19 pandemic is yet another reminder, added to the rapidly growing archive of historical reminders, that in a human-dominated world, in which our human activities represent aggressive, damaging, and unbalanced interactions with nature, we will increasingly provoke new disease emergences. We remain at risk for the foreseeable future. COVID-19 is among the most vivid wake-up calls in over a century. It should force us to begin to think in earnest and collectively about living in more thoughtful and creative harmony with nature, even as we plan for nature’s inevitable, and always unexpected, surprises.”
Are they hinting that a reduced human population will be less susceptible to pandemics? Or that rural populations need to move? Is the Great Reset going to control our “interactions with nature”?
Here are excerpts from the NY Post story, in which Morens again seems to be a harbinger of things to come, preparing us for the failures of masks and social distancing to prevent spread of SARS-CoV-2. (In my state, the top health official acknowledged a few days ago that most new cases are due to silent community spread, rather than outbreaks.)
“David Morens, a virologist at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the findings suggest that the virus may become more contagious and that this “may have implications for our ability to control it.”
He said it’s possible that the virus had evolved to resist efforts such as hand-washing and social distancing.
“Wearing masks, washing our hands, all those things are barriers to transmissibility, or contagion, but as the virus becomes more contagious, it statistically is better at getting around those barriers,” Morens told the newspaper.”
These phony public health officials have never admitted they were wrong about anything during this scamdemic. And now, they have started invoking viral mutations (that cunningly defeat masks and distancing) to gin up the fear and keep the scamdemic going, until the public is on its knees. And the Great Reset can begin.

FBI,Police, Phone Company Implicated : Alleged Wiretap Scheme Investigated in Cincinnati
By ERIC HARRISON
JAN. 14, 1989
TIMES STAFF WRITER
http://www.votefraud.org/Archive/Write/wiretap.htm
FROM THE votefraud.org ARCHIVES
Gates contends both West and Peter Gabor, security director, told him to install wire taps in subsequent elections. Both men declined comment Thursday.
In 1979 – the election which is the focus of the deposition – Gates said he received instructions in the mail from West about installing wire taps on county computers in the County Administration Building at Court and Main streets.
The wire taps were installed on the eve of the election at Cincinnati Bell’s switching control center at Seventh and Elm Streets and terminated in a conference room in the building, Gates alleges.
In the deposition, Gates described in great technical detail installation of the wire taps.
About 8:30 p.m. on election day – Nov. 6, 1979 – Gates said he was called by West and told something had gone wrong causing the elections computer to malfunction. At West’s instructions, Gates said he removed the taps.
The elections computer shut down for two hours on election evening due to what was believed to be a power failure, Condit Sr. has said.
Gates said West told him they “had the ability to actually alter what was being done with the votes.”
Gates said West told him the Board of Elections did not know about the taps and that the computer program for the eletions computer “was obtained out of California, and that the programming had been obtained through the FBI … ”
Shortly after the 1979 election, Gates said he met with the late Richad Dugan, former Cincinnati Bell president, to express his concerns that the wire taps were done without a court order.
“Mr. Dugan said it was a very gray area . . . This was just small compared to what was going on. He told me just, if I had a problem, to talk to him and everything would be okay, but everything was under control,” Gates said.

Anthrax Vaccine Manufacturer to produce Covid-19 vaccines for US market
Emergent BioSolutions produces anthrax vaccine. It used to be named Bioport, but changed its name to disguise its past. Its products have made thousands of people chronically ill.
It has never brought a product to market. It has knowingly sold multiple defective products, almost always to the US government. No one else would buy them. Yet it has inexplicably made 300% profit margins.
And now (very quietly, as none of the companies who have partnered with Emergent BioSolutions seems to want to advertise the partnership) this company will be manufacturing 3 different Covid-19 vaccines–vaccines that have already been selected by the US government for advanced development. All three of these vaccines have entered Phase 3 (the final phase) of clinical trials.
Emergent BioSolutions will be manufacturing Covid-19 vaccines that were designed by Astra-Zeneca (Oxford University), Johnson and Johnson (Janssen division) and Novavax, a Maryland startup.
Emergent’s name may not be on the label, but the company has inked Covid vaccine contracts with the US government and these 3 companies for well over a billion dollars.
However, they don’t have an operation to accomplish this–the company is built on smoke and mirrors. Tomorrow (September 30) Emergent is hosting an online job fair, and hopes to hire 300 people. The Covid-19 vaccines will emerge from a factory just out of mothballs, with a workforce substantially filled by new hires.
Here are Emergent’s press releases making the announcements:

Ray McGovern
Retired CIA Officer : b. 1939
Allegations keep cropping up in the press that CIA alumni are undermining the Bush/Cheney administration. In at least one sense, I suppose, this is true. For when an administration embarks on a war justified by little or no intelligence, speaking the truth can be regarded as treachery. The country could use more of that kind of ´treachery.´
– GET YOUR OWN “RAY MCGOVERN” POSTERS, PRINTS, AND MORE –
Biography
Ray McGovern is an activist who writes and lectures about, among other issues, war and the role of CIA. He holds an M.A. in Russian Studies from Fordham University, a certificate in Theological Studies from Georgetown University, and is a graduate of Harvard Business School’s Advanced Management Program.
In 1996, McGovern caught the attention of the media when he criticized the Pope’s position on women priests. It was his analysis of the war in Iraq, and of the CIA’s role in bringing the war about, that made McGovern one of the country´s most powerful, anti-war voices.
“Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Those words are carved into the marble facade of the entrance to the CIA. Ray McGovern worked to adhere to this credo during his 27- year career as an analyst at the CIA, understanding the inscription to mean that, “the primary function of the Central Intelligence Agency is to seek the truth…and to be able to report that truth without fear or favor.”
His intelligence work, beginning in US Army and continuing at the CIA, spanned seven presidents from President Kennedy to President George H.W. Bush. As an analyst on foreign policy, McGovern would synthesize material given to him on a daily basis and then brief senior White House advisers with his conclusions. Now retired, McGovern is proud of the fact that he reported his findings “without fear or favor” to the politicians and was supported in his work by his superiors.
As a co-founder in 2003 of Veterans Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), McGovern speaks out against what he sees as corruption in the CIA, which allowed the agency´s integrity to bend to the will of President George W. Bush and his White House officials. He asserts that the war in Iraq was manufactured and sold to the United States under false pretenses –- the real reason being oil. In a 2007 letter to former CIA Director George Tenet, McGovern and other former intelligence officers called Tenet onto the carpet for signing documents he knew to be fraudulent (one, for example, that stated that Iraq was buying uranium from Africa), and for testifying that Iraq had links to Al-Qaeda, when actual intelligence reports found no link between Iraq and Osama bin Laden. In short, they accused Tenet of “dovetailing” intelligence to fit with what politicians wanted to hear in the push for an unnecessary war with Iraq.
McGovern sees the damage done to the faith in intelligence work as profound, believing it will take years to correct. He hopes to see the CIA become again an entity independent from political administration.
During both the Bush and Obama years, the White House has eyed an attack on Iran to stop its apparent development of nuclear capabilities. McGovern has raised concerns over why an attack would be necessary, writing, “The very same men who…brought us the war in Iraq are now focusing on Iran, which they view as the only remaining obstacle to American domination of the entire, oil-rich Middle East.”
He also called for the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, suggesting, “Why not focus on a high crime that the Bush administration has already admitted to, with claims it is above the law and the Constitution: electronic eavesdropping on Americans without the required court warrant.”

Serious concerns with the conduct of the Covid-19 vaccine clinical trials
Did you know…this past week major media outlets reported four new serious concerns about the Covid-19 vaccine trials?
•NY Times 9/22: Two vaccine experts identify a major flaw in the Covid-19 vaccine trials. The trials are focusing on whether the vaccines prevent mild disease, not moderate or severe disease which are the major concerns. (1)
•Washington Post 9/22: A former Harvard Medical School physician and AIDS researcher, Dr. William Hazeltine, agrees with the NY Times article. Further he notes that the design of Pfizer and Moderna vaccine trials is such that they could be considered a success with fewer than 100 people vaccinated. These are not nearly enough numbers to determine long-term efficacy and safety. (2)
•CNN 9/25: The AstraZeneca Covid-19 trial is still paused in the US as more information is becoming available about 2 participants in UK who experienced severe neurological autoimmune diseases during the vaccine trial. US physicians question whether the diseases are unrelated to the vaccine as AstraZeneca claims. (3)
•NBC News 9/24: Perhaps most alarming is the news that Dr. Richard Whitley, the chair of the US Data Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB) evaluating the vaccine trials in the US, has significant conflicts of interest. In 2019 he received consulting fees from GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) which is making a COVID-19 vaccine, and he is on the board of Gilead Sciences which manufactures remdesivir. He also oversees another DSMB for GSK. The identities of the other members of the DSMB are being withheld. According to conflict of interest guidelines, DSMB members or their family members should have no professional, proprietary or financial relationship with companies sponsoring the research. (4)
•In a Pew Research Center poll of over 10,000 Americans conducted September 8-13, those who say they would get a COVID-19 vaccine has dropped sharply with only 21% stating they would “definitely” get the vaccine. (5)

Documentary.

Robert Shetterly/Americans Who Tell The Truth
Chris Hedges
War Correspondent, Writer : 1956
Once we sign on for war’s crusade, once we see ourselves on the side of the angels, once we embrace a theological or ideological belief system that defines itself as the embodiment of goodness and light, it is only a matter of how we will carry out murder.
Biography
Chris Hedges, the son of a Presbyterian minister, was born on September 18, 1956 in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. He graduated from Colgate University with a BA in English Literature and went on to receive a Master of Divinity from Harvard. He has an honorary doctorate from Starr King School for the Ministry in Berkeley, California.
Hedges spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. He was an early and outspoken critic of the US plan to invade and occupy Iraq and called the press coverage at the time “shameful cheerleading.” In 2002, he was part of a team of reporters for The New York Times who won a Pulitzer Prize for the paper’s coverage of global terrorism. That same year he won an Amnesty International Global Award for Human Rights Journalism.
In 2003, shortly after the war in Iraq began, Hedges was asked to give the commencement address at Rockford College in Rockford, Illinois. He told the graduating class “…we are embarking on an occupation that, if history is any guide, will be as damaging to our souls as it will be to our prestige, power and security.” He went on to say that “This is a war of liberation in Iraq, but it is a war of liberation by Iraqis from American occupation.” As he spoke, several hundred members of the audience began jeering and booing. His microphone was cut twice. Two young men rushed the stage to try to prevent him from speaking and Hedges had to cut short his address. He was escorted off campus by security officials before the diplomas were awarded. This event made national news and he became a lightning rod not only for right wing pundits and commentators, but also mainstream newspapers. The Wall Street Journal ran an editorial which denounced his anti-war stance and the The New York Times issued a formal reprimand, forbidding Hedges to speak about the war. The reprimand condemned his remarks as undermining the paper’s impartiality. Hedges resigned shortly thereafter and became a senior fellow at the Nation Institute.
Hedges’ is the author of the 2002 best seller, War is A Force That Gives Us Meaning, which is an examination of what war does to individuals and societies. He states that war is the pornography of violence, a powerful narcotic that “…has a dark beauty, filled with the monstrous and the grotesque.” He goes on to explain, “War gives us a distorted sense of self. It gives us meaning. It creates a feeling of comradeship that obliterates our alienation and makes us feel, for perhaps the first time in our lives, that we belong.” Of his own experience of war, living and working as a journalist in the war zones of Central America, the Balkans and the Middle East, he writes: “I have seen too much of violent death. I have tasted too much of my own fear. I have painful memories that lie buried and untouched most of the time. It is never easy when they surface.”
Some contend that his 2008 book, Collateral Damage, is his most courageous work. For it, he interviewed combat veterans of the Iraq war who have testified on the record about atrocities carried out by American soldiers and marines during the military occupation of Iraq. His book reveals in heartbreaking detail the devastating moral and physical consequences of the occupation.
Hedges has also published the following books: What Every Person Should Know About War (2003); Losing Moses on the Freeway: The Ten Commandments in America (2005); American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America (2008); I Don’t Believe in Atheists (2008); Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle ( 2009); and Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt (2012).
Hedges writes a weekly column for Truthdig.com and is married to Eunice Wong, an actor. Together they have one child, Konrad, and Hedges has two children, Noelle and Thomas, from a previous marriage. He lives in Princeton, New Jersey.

wa-llahi! We need a new thread. After the last couple days of Trump comments, it’s very clear that that Glorious Leader is guiding the country into civil war. Matt thinks Trump will bug out. I’m not so sure. The people behind Trump, the forces of hate, are pushing him, hard. I, always, believed Trump would use some medical complaint to split the WH early. Of course, he’d want to keep everything he, and, his creepy family, have stolen over the last few years. Now, this situation has changed. Prison looms over Trump’s post-presidential future. He’s been cornered by SDNY. I don’t think he’ll retreat. Trump has nowhere to go. He’s decided to fight it out. It’s gonna be a bloody 2020.
Skip the extra “that” in the second line. It should read, “that Glorious Leader”…My bad.

You may remember my mentioning that my sister was
married to a former Jesuit who ran with a group of
Jesuits including a former Jesuit named Jerry Mohatt.
I mentioned that in the early 70’s Mohatt founded a community college
for the Lakota Sioux indians in South Dakota called
Sinte Gleska College.
Back in the mid 70’s I interviewed for a faculty teaching position
in their criminal justice program.
I did not get the job. But I did get a chance to meet a friend of
Jerry Mohatt who was a poet and a law professor.
His name was Frank Pommersheim
https://works.bepress.com/frank_pommersheim/
About Frank Pommersheim
Frank Pommersheim was born in New York City, but has lived in South Dakota for more than 35 years. Prior to joining the faculty in 1984, he lived and worked on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation for ten years. He currently serves on a number of tribal appellate courts throughout Indian country including Chief Justice for the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal Court of Appeals and the Rosebud Sioux Supreme Court. Professor Pommersheim writes extensively in the field of Indian law. He is the author of several books in the area of Indian law, including “Braid of Feathers: American Indian Law and Contemporary Tribal Life,” “Broken Landscape: Indians, Indian Tribes and the Constitution,” and most recently, “Tribal Justice: 25 Years as a Tribal Appellate Justice.” Professor Pommersheim is also the author of numerous scholarly articles in the field of Indian law.
Professor Pommersheim has also received the University of South Dakota Belbas-Larson Award for Excellence in Teaching, the South Dakota Peace and Justice Center Reconciliation Award, and the John Wesley Jackson Award as the Outstanding Professor of Law. Frank is also a poet. His most recent book of poetry is a chapbook entitled “Local Memory and Karma (The Buddha Correspondence Vol. 2).” In addition, Frank is an amateur but avid bird watcher, who is well-acquainted with the works of Bob Dylan, and has played a lot of hoops all over this land.

Trump’s disdain and low opinion of ordinary Americans is his excuse for lying about covid . (Americans are so weak as to run amok if they knew what he did.) Apparently leaders of other western democracies were foolish to inform vulnerable populations and meet the threat head-on.
He also knows more than the FDA and will decide which vaccine will be dispensed, when it will be dispensed and the hell with the FDA. Doesn’t that just instill shit load of confidence?
If he is elected, he will accept another four years; if not, he’s not going anywhere-ever.
We will now take a short intermission ….

Once again, Matt mixes poetry with politics. Matt reads Yeats’ Second Coming and thinks of “the horridness of Trump” on the world stage. For years Matt has compared Trump to Hitler, now he compares him to Satan, the rough beast. When Matt thinks of the End Times, the Apocalypse, the death of innocence, anarchy unleashed on the world, he thinks of President Trump. Everything bad and anything bad makes Matt think of Trump. Matt is obsessed.
The Second Coming is when Christ will return to vanquish that rough beast, to vanquish Satan and the forces of evil. Following Matt’s train of thought, Joe Biden must be the Savior.
Yeats’ Second Coming was written in 1919 as a reflection on the horrors of World War I (Trump has kept us out of wars) and the anarchy unleashed worldwide by such forces as the 1917 Bolshevik’s Russian Revolution. (It is the Democratic-aligned leftists who’ve recently unleashed anarchy in America, who’ve called for the burning down of America. it is the Democratic leftists who most resemble the Bolsheviks.) Trump is for law and order. Yeats’ “death of innocence” surely evokes the death of innocents in the womb. Trump spoke in defense of innocents at the Right to Life rally. Joe Biden promises to codify Roe v. Wade.
Matt harbors malice towards Trump. I like Lincoln’s poetic words: “With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.”
President Trump has brought us closer to ending perpetual wars. President Trump has provided more for Veterans and their families. President Trump has done great work for the American people and the nations of the world.
And once again you have nothing to add but the same old song and lynching.
“Everything bad and anything bad makes Matt think of Trump. Matt is obsessed.”
As is the rest of the free world. I said free world. And you are obsessed with defending Bonespurs and every foul thing he does. Grabs you right by your p*ssy, doesn’t he?
“President Trump has brought us closer to ending perpetual wars.”
Afghanistan?
“President Trump has provided more for Veterans and their families.”
I guess you don’t follow the news. And still 22 Vets a day are killing themselves. Come over to Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval Medical Center with me some day and you can ask the people in their beds what they think of him. He is loathed among most of the veterans I talk to.
“President Trump has done great work for the American people and the nations of the world.”
I can’t even begin with this one. Since he took office I have been to Central America, South America, Canada and Europe twice. I have never heard anyone say a single positive thing about Bonespurs. And I never start the conversation. It often starts with someone just staring at us and then they will ask, “What the fuck was America thinking?”
wa-llahi! “I would rather rule in Hell, than, serve in Heaven.” ( A line from Satan’s opening soliloquy in Milton’s Paradise Lost.) Sounds like Glorious Leader to me. Among Muslims. Trump is known as a shaytaniin. That means a little Satan in Arabic.
Looks like the war’s back on. Louisville won’t break weak. NFA isn’t all talk. We are racing toward the apocalyptic moment. Death to the fascists. Down with Trump. All praise to the resistance. All power to the dialectic.
wa-llahi! Dr. Atlas is Glorious Leader’s Lysenko (google: Stalin/Russia/ Lysenko)
“Words Upon the Window Pane,” Yeats wrote this play toward the end of his life. It’s a rumination on old age.
Does the worst are full of passionate intensity apply to BLM, Antifa and the rioters? Or does it apply to the awful Democrats who smeared Kavanaugh, Bork and Thomas? Or the FBI and DOJ who framed Gen Flynn and John Connolly? Or the Fake News media who can’t persuade America to vote in socialism? The Rough Beast is today’s Democrat party. It’s convention was about defund the police. BLM and systematic racism which doesn’t exist. 2. If Trump appoints Coney Barret to the High Court it will be a stark contrast to Biden. She was #1 in her class at a quality law school Notre Dame. He finished #67 out of 73 at a mediocre program Syracuse. He was at the bottom of his class 50 years ago. Not too bright then and has lost half his brain power. Will America elect a dolt?
wa-llahi! NC, look who’s talking. America, already, elected a dolt. We’re trying to get rid of him, but, he clings to our souls like dogshit to shoes.
