music, thoughts, books, dreams, more

Just my world of dreams, music and thoughts. Author of two books, one a novel of Love stories set in Framingham, Mass, Secrets of the Heart the 2nd book an autobiography of growing up in Framingham, Mass. Small Town America, Framingham My generation was the first teenage generation, that was when the word was coined. Ours was the generation that started cruising through town and to the drive in theater and drive in restaurant. In our area, Ernie Kampersal,from Holliston, drove his bucking car through town, picking up girls. It rose in the air, like a stallion! We went to the soda shops and played the juke boxes. It was a different town, a different time, and it belonged to us!

Third World War? Could it be and we don't even know it?

Just thinking and wondering if anyone else has come to the conclusion that I have.   The war of the future does not have to be fought with bombs, super weapons and other hi tech equipment, because not all the radicals will be able to match the" power countries", who do have these weapons..

Thinking further, if the giant can not be tumbled with bows and arrows, or just grows angry like in the David and Goliath story, then what do you do?  After all he is liable to lose his cool and stamp you out or bomb you out...he is that big....

As Saul Alinsky preached keep them in turmoil, as soon as one situation calms down start another situation.
Think about the situations we have wasted money on, fighting wars  that have no end, and continue on, the minute we turn our back.  It seems that the enemy gains from all the equipment and expertise we leave behind.  Can we count that as a win for the Allies, or the Radicals.?  Turmoil and dissension

Suddenly in Israel young teens are captured and murdered, while in the United States we suddenly have an influx of children from foreign countries crossing our border.  While these diversions with children are going on and disturbing the civilized world, another bloody war is unfolding in the Middle East with threats against the U.S. on Twitter, another Saul Alinsky tactic... dissension, turmoil, spend money and weaken the enemy...

It appears to me, we are in a new type of warfare, one based on new tactics we are not prepared to deal with.  Our stage of civilization makes it difficult to deal with the new warfare we will face, so the little radical ants building their power centers, collecting their tools of the new warfare, may yet rise over the Goliath of our cultured civilization....Imagine being too civilized to be able to fight back?  Are we that gullible that we can not mobilize ever again to face a world wide threat, that will change it's face constantly, until it towers over us?

There may be a grain of intuition here....just think how unlikely it is that thousands of children would suddenly appear on our border?   It is hard to believe that this was not moblizied.... Is this about to happen from Africa to the Mediterranean countries, why not?  What stops it in the Med?    What would Spain, France and Italy do?

Maybe we need to have some conversations about this startling new method of warfare...destroy from within...didn't the Russians warn us during the cold war, that we would destroy ourselves?

Your turn....any thoughts on this?

The Manhattan Transfer-On A Little Street In Singapore #126-*T*O*T*Ps*70s*
