STROBOSCOPIC POLITICAL STRATEGY

Photo by Du039bVu039e Gu039bRCIu039b on Pexels.com

Imagine if you will, 

everything you see in the MAGA

movement is really still.

Moments framed in space and time

and speeded up at will.

Whose will matters; yours or mine?

Wagons moving forward

we are told but their wheels appear 

to travel in reverse.

This wagon wheel illusion

is not just made for movies.

It is made to sow confusion.

The brain’s refresh rate is slower

than the information it is seeing.

It believes it is seeing motion

when the still image is moving more rapidly 

than the brain can refresh.

Unmerged refresh rates upend believability.

Under certain lighting conditions

and with other distractions

this effect is more striking

and not to the brain’s liking.

The distracting stroboscopic effect

is not truly an illusion, but a warning.

Our brains try to make sense of the lie

right before our eyes.

Sampling any phenomenon

with the wrong frequency

leads to misinterpretation.

The frame moves faster and faster

and slower brain rates sense a disaster.

Film. Repeat. Film in bright light

to move people to the Right.

Offer more distraction

and the lies seem so real

that we put them on media’s reels

so we think were are moving 

forward; but, our country 

is moving backward.

We must understand projection

for our own and our country’s protection.

We are seeing under the illusion of confusion.

A political strategy for those untrained

to give this phenomena a name.

Now you know it.

Now you own it.

Now do something about it.

Hard to believe 13 years later we face the same intransigence of Republicans. Only the names have changed. Policies are even more entrenched and courts stacked against the 99%z

REMAINING ON STAGE

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com

Crickets on the hearth,

Spiders in the bed,

push early-morning risers

to live out their dread

of hurricanes and floods

and myriad disasters;

reminding us we are mere humans

and the joke of the universe’s laughter.

Perhaps, that is why some few stay

and refuse to be subdued,

pretending they control the stage

lifting a finger in Mother Nature’s face.

And we imagine they are me and you.

As the curtain comes down

the audience leaves, 

except for the very few.

And laughter dies, as seas and rivers

overcome their bounds and flow anew.

AMUSED

Men say there are nine muses

all female,

all source,

all inspiration

behind man’s creation.

I alone amuse myself, 

a female 

well enough,

tough enough

wise enough

behind my own creation.

We females are funny that way.

We have no time

to while away,

nor our egos sway,

where power games lay.

We do not play.

We females amuse ourselves

as we go on life’s way

to build lives better,

to make peace surer,

to allay furor

which gets in the way.

We find joy in  every day.

We bring joy

to every girl and boy,

to every woman and man,

to all we can,

smiling all the way.

Men may need nine muses.

Women are happy to be

all  nine at every time,

in every way,

on every day.

We women do not play.

Letter to the Editor: Bar associations must insist on removal of Justices Thomas and Alito

Newark Advocate

U.S. Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have engaged in insurrectionist activities, or at the least appear in support of it, by supporting calls to state legislators to create false electors ( Thomas); flying the American flag in support of insurrection at home (Alito) ; and by refusing to rule in a timely fashion so as to impede resolution of the president’s “absolute immunity” issue, contrary to procedural and substantive precedent. Both fail judicial impartiality by ruling on cases of “friends” giving expensive “gifts.”

null

Chief Justice John Roberts seems unable to stop such breach of legal ethics. Congressional impeachment of these justices is necessary, but seems unlikely given Republican obstruction.

It is time for bar associations nationwide to insist Alito and Thomas be removed from the court and disbarred from practicing law. Every lawyer in this country has sworn an oath to behave ethically and uphold the constitutions and laws of state and nation. This includes Alito and Thomas.

null

Why are the lawyers of this country remaining silent while the rule of law weakens at every level of adjudication (Judge Cannon)?

Speak now or we may forever have to hold our peace. The law may not be able to retain its union with justice and freedom, unless we speak now.

Columbus resident Louise Annarino is a former Ohio assistant attorney general, former associate director of legal affairs at Ohio University, and a former attorney at Legal Aid Society of Columbus who is now retired from the practice of law.
