WHY SARAH PALIN IS THE “AMERICAN DREAM”

She is the acme of hustle… and con… making a buck off of absolutely nothing… the classic ‘good ole boy/gal’ con… an example would be the classic early Andy Griffith film role in 1957, “A Face In The Crowd”… It’s a great movie… check it out. And I predict that eventually Sarah Palin’s public life with have a similar ending as that movie.

Hustle… she did become a state governor… and she did hustle money for bridges to nowhere as do most politicians… again the American dream… to be a successful rich and powerful politician… and she did abuse her power, as it was revealed in the “Troopergate” scandal… and she tried to cover it up… in the midst of her being MaCain’s running mate in 2007… and then got hustled by the Republican party sticking her with the $500,000 legal fees for her defense in the affair…

…and like any con man …she is maliciously smart… on the road with McCain she meets big league con people… producers from Lalaland… who have Master Degrees from the Academy of Hustle… and she begins her apprenticeship… the tricks are learned quickly… she has speaking talent and a charisma… ‘star power’… in a unique ‘niche’ market… the crazy radical right…

Astrologically, there are 12 basic archetype human ‘niches’… and roughly each representing 8% of the population… of 300 million… that’s 24 million… and of that… 10% are the radical right… and that’s 2.4 million viewers who will religiously watch whatever program their messiah appears on… and in current cable and satellite broadcasting… that’s a very profitable share rating… especially for low budget ‘reality’ style production programs…

…so, yeah …why keep a pain in the butt $125,000 a year job, with on going legal hassles …being billed for $500,000 for legal fees from the mess the Republican party drafted her into?

These producer and promoter guys are offering her a $100,000 per public speech with private jet to take her and entourage there and put her up in a swank hotel and then fly her back to Alaska… or to the next gig… and then let’s publish a book deal… guaranteed 2.4 millions sales from the faithful… so, she quit the governor job and took her act on the road and published a book… and whatever she makes or publishes …she’s got 2.4 million steady suckers… truly a master con… she learned well during her vice presidential campaign.

And that’s the American dream …and we’re all part of it …including me and perhaps you, dear reader. I still work at the age of 65 as a media specialist QC operator …I watch and review movies very closely for any imperfections, glitches, audio sync and proper levels, or rating content violations that a cable or satellite customer might complain about… and pass or fail the broadcast copy before it airs… It’s a good comfortable job, the pay is middle income… which is enough for my age and lifestyle…

…there are some drawbacks… the California car culture of a daily 65 mile round trip commute… some job stress… if you screw up and it broadcasts, you get fired… and no coffee or food in the reviewing booth… and you have to watch the feature closely with earphones… the good, the bad, and the ugly… all of it, to include the credits, and all the versions of it …HDX, HD, and SD, and all the broadcast bit rates for the various bandwidths… and all the related trailers of the feature… checking the video, the audio, and the content by rating, etc… with zero tolerance of errors…

…and when in doubt, cover your butt and fail it, and request another copy. If the super checks it and overrides my fail… it’s their initials on the broadcast sheet… not mine… not on my shift… and we’re all part of it… the American dream…

…my dream? …I have an incredible come back as a ‘character’ actor… I’m always bumping elbows with producer types in the hallways at the broadcast studios… I have some occasional celebrity astrology clients… and some day somebody is going to say, ‘Hey, that old guy is perfect for the occasional role of the ‘eccentric old grandfather’ in this pilot family sitcom I’m producing…’

I do an audition and get the part… and it’s a hit, and the series goes into production… and then I make a few grand per episode, with re-run residuals, appearing in 1 out of 3 or 4 episodes… maybe a dozen lines, just hit the marks without looking… say your jokes… and it’s a wrap …and a limo picks me up and takes me home… or at least they give me a reserved parking space in the studio lot …and then some beautiful young starlet falls in love with me and wants to have my baby… and that’s my meditation visualization… of a great retirement… and part time job…

…and, yeah …when I get the part …just like Sarah …I’m going to quit my day job …and go for it …the American dream.

…row, row, row your boat gently down the stream …merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream… and then… we all live happily ever after…

THE FINANCIAL… AND SPIRITUAL… REVOLUTIONS…

I have witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet empire… an illusion of lies that promised utopia and delivered nothing. Now we are witnessing and living through Capitalism exhausting itself… Religious credibility is crumbling daily amidst scandalous revelations of sexual abuse to children… and extremist violence… and the citizen’s approval rating of its government is at a pathetic 22%...

Self empowerment is the only way out of the madness… one can not depend on the culture, its leaders, its government, its changing values, its empty religion business… they can’t fix you… they only exploit you and make things worse. Dump it all… look within… find your higher self… and your conscience and follow it…

…and when you find and awaken your inner power to change your individual reality to the better …help others to do the same …by simply pointing the way …that’s all one can do …they are the ones who must tread the spiritual path on their own …survival will provide the answers …the continued exploitation of the many by the few will destroy it all …as we know it now.

As Uranus transits into Aries… violent revolutions will probably erupt throughout the planet… and in May of 2011 Neptune will ingress (transit) into the sign that it rules, Pisces… and on the positive side it can be a time of genuine spiritual awakening in many… and a movement to live in a much more humane manner with respect to all and world cooperation in which all may flourish… while others will perish in the quagmires of corruption, exploitation, and deceit that we are living through now…

It won’t be easy… but it is inevitable…

…may the peace and love of the cosmos be with you…
