In The Beginning....
Ah, the beginning. Where to start, what to write, what to say, what to do.
Damn that bad luck.
As I write this i am watching the classic David Lynch film "Blue Velvet". Isabel Rosellini is such a classic babe. The daughter of Sophia Loren who I think is on the top ten list of all-time hot babes and the grand niece of Italian Fascist Dictator Benito Mussolini of WWII fame.
My late father had a story from WWII about Mussolini. When he wed my mother he had a 24 hour honeymoon and was shipped beck to the war. It was the Anzio Invasion of Italy and he was on the beach, stuck in a foxhole and being shelled for two entire weeks. When the Americans finally broke through, he and my mothers' Uncle, Arnold Lemke and the best man at his wedding Bernie Elkins went on a drunk. A massive drunk of epic proportions. During this massive drunk, the guys somehow got behind enemy lines and ended up in Rome. They stole Mussolini's Rolls Royce and continued their drunk while cruising the Italian countryside. They came upon a small town near the German border and came upon a classic Kodak moment. There before their eyes, hanging upside down from a tree and being stoned was Il Duce. Benito Mussolini himself. My dad took pictures and I got to see them a couple of times when I was younger.
When I listen to the younger people of today speak of things like WWII, I wonder and am saddened because they do not know their history. They act like they are smart, but the one thing my dad drilled into me was that "those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it". What I see happening in todays day and age are the same mistakes and the same evils that created that situation coming to pass again.
What is even sadder in my opinion is that many of the younger generation do not care. The apathy and lack of concern is thick in the air. The arrogance that "it will not happen here" is scary to me because of the weaponry at the command of the true fascists of today who are somehow considered "enlightened" while those of my parent's generation are considered "dinosaurs" and "fascists" by those who have no idea or concept what fascism and nazi-ism really was.
Control of the population by government, control of the manufacturing, banking and education systems by the government. "Fairness Doctrine" to control the airwaves. Control by a central core. Control, control, control and the lemmings go off the cliff all together because they are all followers.
"Well it's 1973, I wonder who we're gonna see
Who's in power now? I think I'll turn on the TV
The man on the news says "China's gonna beat us
we've shot all our dreamers, there's no one left to lead us"
From the Larry Norman song "Reader's Digest"
Oh so true even today.
