NERO FIDDLES AGAIN

     Diogenes is visiting his friend's website or blog, hoping that the search for truth will be fulfilled here. Well, we search for the truth but we are just as frustrated as he is.
     Nero fiddles while his city burned and our particular Nero fiddles while CV burns, figuratively. Instead of concentrating on the major issues that confront us, the existential threat to our very continued existence, our Nero whiles away his time with Wi Fi and broadband, with working to make sure his "enemies" disappear, with controlling all that is within his realm, never mind the laws of the larger empire wherein CV resides, that of the USA, and ignores the cries for help from associations that are being deluged with troubles, with enemy invasions, until the situation is almost beyond repair.
     Our Nero knew way before anyone else did that Sheffield O was being overrun by the Huns in the form of a ruthless motel operator, out for profit and control. This was fine as long as the operator voted Nero's way and only when the Hun came out in public with a letter attesting to his plans, that Nero was forced to acknowledge what was going on. Diogenes asks if this will be a case of too little too late. Every association board needs to be called in to talk with UCO as to how to avoid this problem. Some do not read the paper and others need hands on help and guidance, but our Nero and his advisor - He Whose Name Shall Not Be Mentioned - fiddle on, worried about their power and the attacks on their ruthless reign and control.
     Now Diogenes calls our attention to a new problem that has come out in public and this has been caused by an association president! Even the officers of the realm are becoming corrupt and careless, heedless of the needs of their civilians and constituents. Here we have an officer who is illegally allowing illegal residents to encamp within abandoned units of the realm and the question is raised as to how our vaunted security guards can be allowing them into our demesne when they should not be allowed to do so. How are they getting cards from UCO or are the functionaries of UCO too busy following the fiddling Nero's commands, too busy and too scared to watch out for invading troops and spies, for scouts testing the lay of the land, testing whether the Huns can enter in even larger numbers.
     WHERE, OH WHERE, IS OUR NERO? TOO BUSY CREATING HIS "LEGACY"?
     Diogenes asks whether anyone has ever heard of a statement by Hubbard, the man who wrote " A Message to Garcia". He asks, "Who is a friend?" He answers, "A friend is one who knows all about you and still loves you." Well, our dearly "beloved" Nero, we know all about you and we sincerely do not love you. We might like you a bit better if you resigned from your imperial office and let us get on with the business of saving our CV. Diogenes agrees and says that here is a definite bit of truth, a fine piece to insert into the legend of his search for the truth.
     As an aside, yesterday we went to see the movie, "A Woman in Gold" and we recommend that all go to see it. The story is true and the acting superb. Helen Mirren outdoes herself. There is a telling line within the movie that described the motivations of the Nazis, the Fascists , in the unfolding story and that line was and I paraphrase as I cannot remember the exact wording, "They did not only want to steal our belongings, but wanted to make us disappear." Well, that is the feeling we get here, that our resident adherents to the theories and practices of Fascism also wish to make us disappear, to be non people and hence the total blacklisting and erasure from media and the heavy handed attempts, hysterical in nature, to disallow any contribution at the DA.
     Diogenes asks how long with the citizens of this realm allow this situation to go on and here I gave him the sad truth - only time will tell. Diogenes sadly lifted his lantern on high and said goodbye as he continued on in his search for the truth, though he promised to return again soon.
