WILDERNESS VOICE: Are “We The Other People” just TRESPASSING IMMIGRANT GRUNTS


 

Are “We The Other People” just TRESPASSING IMMIGRANT GRUNTS


Pigs grunt, eat whatever is put in their troves, and because their skins are too thin and sensitive play in the mud. If we were to only STOP THE FINGER POINTING and take time to read between “The Constitutional Lines,” understanding the implications, Article 1 becomes key. What we already know deep down should be free of the misleading bitterness, anger, and hate to stand side by side and conclude: How Sad! We, not they/them, have been doing it to ourselves all along. And it’s not out of ignorance but the desire to trust the God-sent command of loving thy neighbor and the courageous will to extend a helping hand of friendship to those in need.

Starting with “THE NATIVE INDIGINOUS NATIONS OF ALREADY ENLIGHTENED BUT HUMBLE PEOPLE” throughout the world onto the “STILL HOPE FILLED WORKING CLASS” of today: Like wolves in sheep clothing; like termites in the dark silently burrowing their way to weaken the structural foundations of communities ALREADY safe and strong; “they/them” continue to come bearing trinket gifts like the trojan horse left on peaceful shores with inevitable death and destruction hid within. Note: Not all that glitters is gold. But it was for the promise of silver and gold that they/them, first wave immigrants came. It was for freedom to think, choose and worship that they/them, second wave immigrants came. It was to assure the growing imperial competition for economic extraction remained selectively domestic that they/them, third wave immigrants came to write a declaration for separation and a flexible constitution for the conditional use of future fourth wave immigrants that continue to come hoping to be part of THE AMERICAN DREAM!

Yes! That dream continues to be promoted as an invitation to a land of opportunity offering milk and honey.  But in truth it’s always been a recruitment package without inclusion. And it was the third wave immigrants that not only clearly etched the matter in stone within Article 1 of the Constitution but through Amendments, Doctrines and Acts eternalized it. It used first wave immigrants as front line expendable grunts to establish military outposts, agricultural land and strategic ports for trade monopolies. It used second wave immigrants to create independent utopian type communities that fostered literacy, a sense of conscience, and the right to question the authority of hierarchy. Thus, with the quest for empire, wealth, and global trade well underway, the cultural background of the Reformation era prepared the soil that made the seeds of Enlightenment politics possible: A three-branch system of checks and balances offering periodic changes in command with party alternatives that in truth continues to keep third wave immigrant ideology well insulated and disguised. Hence, from the start of fourth wave immigrants onto present date, the “We The People” have been an elite of “Borderless White Male Property‑Owning Immigrants, now citizens economically managing the political arena from outside while keeping everyone else battling each other on the inside.

How Sad indeed it is! Under the guise of Republicans and Democrats, “We The Other People” continue pushing two sides of the same selectively exclusive coin through a single-minded slot machine intended to house large profits for the few while occasionally paying out some compensatory trinkets for the cooperating many.

The fracture being witnessed in recent developments around immigration is not isolated or new. It’s the organizing principle of a system that has long functioned less as a democratic identity and more as a management scheme controlled by those with political and economic power to temporarily address periodic shortages in labor and technology throughout the entire American story. So, we can continue to grunt like sensitive thin-skinned pigs playing in the mud while waiting to eat whatever leftovers get thrown into our troves or become like eagles braving the heights to do what we already deep down know: Beyond the centralizing enterprise, there are alternative possibilities within horizons new. And WE, "The Other People” are more than just TRESPASSING IMMIGRANT GRUNTS.

The Hurting Heart of Humanity -April issue

Image
  The hurting heart of humanity Humanities heart is in a state of global crisis! Growing natural disasters have compounded the widespread social conflict and injustice driving class and racial inequalities to unbearable levels. Crime, violence, mental illness and corruption have become little more than a normal cost of doing daily business. Existence has become an arena where depleting resources and dwindling economic opportunities are dangerously justifying the resulting consequences. of Growing unemployment, poverty and homelessness have reached unprecedented levels. Thus, mounting forms of addiction are just efforts to ease the strain of having to live in constant competition with each other at the cost of losing one’s innate natural desire, need and ability to love, trust and share. Meanwhile, the looming dark clouds full of thundering hate and lightning-fast hoarding are crippling the social threads of compassion under the weight of growing fear and despair. In truth, lookin...

Voices in the wilderness - May Issue

Image
  Voices in the Wilderness Fellow artists, blessed and gifted with talents and opportunities to be yet another historic voice in the wilderness crying out for justice to be made manifest; may our weapons of choice be sharpened to be heeded and heart felt. May our work’s, howsoever small but still flickering, become beacons of light against the seemingly growing social darkness gripping so many with feelings of helpless, hopeless despair. May our performing platforms serve as battering rams able to shatter the illusions blinding so many from the truth: We Are One! We are stewards, co-heirs destined to harvest and share what this world, this planet, this society still has the potential to offer and make manifest. For promised better days to come we need just accept that we are the voices, the hands and feet of a cosmic force made manifest thru us, for us, just because – because we’re built for more than present minds and hearts have come to accept. We’ve been granted eyes, ears a...

What Did You Do - June issue

Image
  What did you Do Whether one believes and accepts it or not; we have been gifted, more so blessed with imbedded talents and skills to achieve and fulfill what many call some preordained destiny. Thus, we each have both the right, and the obligation, to coexist while pursuing that which would provide individual meaning and purpose. The very bible not only instructs us to “Be Fruitful and Multiply” but was referenced when this country’s founding fathers, asserting as self-evident, that all men are created equal, went on to coin the term “Inalienable Rights” to mean God given birthrights assuring “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” for all of earth’s inhabitants: Regardless of what legal guides man may seek to instill thereafter. So important “WAS” the thought that they went on to say, “Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends (as currently being witnessed), it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish” what powers be and “institute a new gov...

Jan Article / 2021 - New Year, New Deal ?

Image
  Buffalo Latino Village Jan 2021article New Year, New Deal ?   Happy New Year! Its done! The ballots have been tallied, verified and announced. On January 20 th Biden enters as the new landlord and Trump exits as the delinquent tenant. But things seem far from over. Trump is not thinking of willfully vacating. So forget the drama and simply unleash the marshals with a court ordered eviction for negligence.  Like any of us, shouldn’t he be subject to arrest for trespassing. More so, shouldn’t his refusal to relinquish power be considered an act of mutiny : A crime punishable by death? But let’s wake up and face it; dominating the national discourse like no one before “Trump has been allowed to reshape the global office and shattered its century-old norms and traditions”. Fearing what’s supposedly waiting, he even seeks pardoning himself from any pending prosecutions. Funny how they call it an “ assault on the institutions of democracy ” without mention of “the...

The Jesus Factor :: Humanities Map, Legend, And Compass

Image
  The Jesus Factor  Humanities Map, Legend, And Compass  We’ve all heard of the light ! That enlightening knowledge and understanding of how God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit will converge to give humanity a second shot at a life full of harmonious coexistence free of growing pain and suffering. But the uncertainties of daily life have given rise to a fear of lacking tomorrows wants in ways that justify an unprecedented need for hording greed. Under such external pressures, it’s time to question: How much of that light (e.g. peace, love, and joy) is actually still in you?   Darkness is quickly spreading a blanket of worldwide despair ; humanities intended fruits (e.g. kindness, goodness, gentleness, forbearance and self-control) are becoming but mere shadows as we walk along the corridors between “Once Upon a Time” and “It Is what It Is.” Thus question: How deep is the darkness within you?   Seemingly overwhelmed, we fail to grasp the simplicity of common sense. ...
