"ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN"

     Let us think about that statement and where it comes from. It is supposed to refer to G-d's realm, that He rules on earth and in heaven and they should be equated under G-d's reign - hopefully. Well, today we have a different sense of the phrase for VP Pence, the heartbeat away from the Oval Office man, says that America will reign in both places, on earth as in heaven, in space and our weapons will dominate it all. Oh, now I can relax but wait a minute - weapons in space? I thought there was to be a deal about that and leave space out of that race. Or at least the weapons were to be pointed outward to protect us from the deluge of ETs coming our way. But evidently Pence feels otherwise and one can just hear the cuckoo clock and one gets sentimental thinking about One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest!
     Bit more to the point, what engenders these statements? What brings us to this point? I believe for us to understand that, we must parse the meaning and the atmosphere of hate. Today there is no more bipartisan movement, at least among the men. Among the women in government there still remains that bipartisan attempt but unfortunately there are places where there is either this side or that and no in between.
     Right here in CV we have that situation. There is either the camp of David Israel or the opposition camp where there are many toiling to rid ourselves of the hate mongering Israel camp, the anti democratic camp which wishes to install one man rule in our CV accompanied by the fake officers who in actuality are his puppets and  mouth breathing followers. And yes, there are one or two who try to an extent to remember the residents, but even they fall prey to the blindfold that David wraps around their eyes. Too sad to even think about but think we must.
     Here, in  a few words are the plans of David:
     A useless Delegate Assembly which will have no power whatsoever unless it be to echo his desires.
     An Officers group which in essence will make the decisions for the Village - as so bidden to by David. Perhaps the Executive Board will be allowed a vote as well but the vote is just as meaningless for they too will vote as ordered.
    Any suggested change or petition will be ruled upon by said officers and if no then the delegates do not even get to hear it. Yup! I kid you not.
     Any petition must be of 59 signatures reached thru an arcane mathematical figuring and each signature must be only by a delegate and no alternates allowed and from individual associations!!
     All associations are equal here, be they 82 units or 16 units and we all know who controls those half dead smaller associations, do we not?!
     There are plans to increase that amount of signatures to 117!!!!
     ESignatures are not to be accepted - or so the Luddite man of the computers so states.
     He refuses to release information and will  defy Freedom of Information Act requests, the refusing to allow the names of delegates to be public therefore making it impossible for any number of signatures to be gotten!
     All so called Volunteers will still be restricted to his puppets or those who can be so trained.
     All newspaper and radio access, assemblies and debates will be denied or extremely limited hence no fair ability to campaign.
     UCO will delete its statement of purpose, hence it is no longer to be there as an instrument to serve the residents of the Village. David and WPRF only.
     WPRF will continue to grow in authority and restrictions handed down on the residents even as they increase the cost of lease of WPRF facilities.
     The cost of living here will soon prove to be unbearable and unsustainable as costs rise, as services deteriorate, as infrastructure crumbles and even as the cable and internet service prove so faulty as to prove to be unusable. And so much for $35 million dollars. And all the rest of the fiscally irregular and unreasonable contracts that have been signed and that will be signed in the future.
     Signing in advance to talk at the Assembly in an attempt to stop the voices of the people - so never mind, we will all sign in that Thursday!! 300, 400, 500 - whatever it takes.
     And to top it all off we have the hate, above all the hate, that which is engendered by his "aw...right" little snort, his barging in on discussions, his crude mannerisms and his dictatorial mannerisms and tendencies and plans. We have the hate from his minions towards the rest of the Village and that, my friends , must stop. Step up, stand up to it.
     But how do we stop that hate which flows ever downward from the Oval Office, that hate engendered by that dangerous man, Trump. He and his have caused such a deep split in this country that I wonder if we really and truly all pledge to the same one. His ignorance rules the day as does the ignorance of the Secretary of Energy who does not know the true definition of supply and demand!! Lord above!!
     How are we to feel when his policies, or lack of them, his stupid mouth and behavior, has brought us closer to the point of nuclear war than any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Today I read just what I need to survive the first week after a nuclear attack!! As if there will be any survival or any use of survival?! He complains of leakage, and yes there is more leakage from his administration than ever before but what is being leaked are reports of unethical, immoral and perhaps even illegal doings in Washington and in the new swamp he has created!! Never mind the leakers - the whistle blowers - mind the garbage that he has brought to Washington!!
     There has now been shown that there are hidden pockets of poverty amongst us, in the suburbs as well as in the rural areas and cities. Trump wishes to add to that poverty and death traps by cutting healthcare even as he so cynically offers to care for a British infant who is dying with no hope of a remedy. For that he has the money but not for an unfortunate American suffering from terminal illnesses that could have been cured or avoided? This false business is sickening to the extreme. And it all leads to hate. It leads to a dangerous rage amongst the people. It leads to people who cannot hear each other anymore.
     And it all points to the need for action on the part of the sane people of America even as we need action on the part of the sane and reasonable people of CV. And yes, we might even have to take to the streets once more in order to make these points, but if so, then so be it. Civil protest is legal and apparently alive and well and will continue to be and do so as long as there is breath inside us.
