People do not always say what they mean. That is a given. Some times it is on purpose and other times it is not. However, it seems that during the present times it has become the more popular way to speak and communicate. And in response, it seems that one must say or ask, "What was that again?" Not a pleasant state of affairs.
Locally we have a great example of this 1984 kind of speech. No need to even go back a few years as the present is rife with this newspeak. So....Atlantic Broadband is going to use great new technology, directional boring, to input all their cables and whatever. Well, what was that? Seems that directional boring is another name for trenching, long, ugly trenches into the landscape of the Village. It leaves scars, indentations in the earth and piles of dirt left around where it can no longer fit. And for extra decoration we have orange and gray tubes sticking out of the ground like a sci-fi monster. And in the meanwhile, they have perfected the art of cutting underground infrastructure to pieces but aha, they are so advanced. Just ask David Israel and minions.
Meanwhile, this company, this small company has decided to give the east coast of Florida great deals. Or so they say, and have gone eagerly after the business of Comcast. In the cases of many, it seems that the supposed leaders have agreed to this while the residents are not very happy. They liked their Comcast, the choices it gave them, the service it provided and the size of it, enough to go around. Atlantic Broadband, AB, it seems to me, will have to gear up a whole lot to fulfill its commitments and I am afraid that it is all a pipe dream. And so what was that again?
Want more? Okay....We were told that the realty building was falling to pieces, a dangerous place and if we did not agree to a tradeoff we were in effect condemning the people who worked there to a dangerous and life threatening place of work. It would all be on our shoulders. So all we had to do was give Levy this prime spot of property and in return we would get a concrete shed which needed it all from soup to nuts. I would love to see the receipts here as to who is actually paying for what. But in any case, we were told it would become a wonderful place, a new home, for The Rag, as it was homeless. Well. Now we find that it will soon be all done and guess what? It will be "handed over to Atlantic Broadband!!!!!"What was that?
But wait. It does not end here with the barrel of lies and obfuscations of the Village and David Israel. Nope, our oh so intrepid leader, Trump, has his own version of this and he apparently has found a whole community of people ready to follow him down this not so golden brick road.
What? Stormy Daniels? Who is that? Oh, Cohen paid her $130,000. Oh, I never knew that. Oh, but yes I did. But Cohen did it out of the goodness of his heart and his love for me. Oh, but I paid him back - more than $300,000 more!
My lawyers are great. But most seemingly had to go for one reason or another. I am hoping that at least some quit due to disgust with their Trump client, but some were just incompetent, a conglomeration of Keystone Lawyers who inserted feet every time they opened their mouths. The newest and seems to me a truly great one at this is Giuliani. He puts his client deeper into the hole each time he opens his mouth and that, apparently, is called, getting up to speed, a learning curve. Say what? What was that?
Sanders is falling all over her lying tongue, Haley puts Trump in his place and takes no crap from him, his aides cannot get their lies together and what was that becomes the mantra of the day when it comes to Trumpspeak. And the politicians seem to follow right along and what was that? One Pennsylvania legislator needs a bodyguard to protect her from another one, an ex boyfriend? What was that? Oh, never mind that. How about the hypocrite who ranted against the right to choose and then tried to force his pregnant mistress to get an abortion. No right to choose there!? What was that?
And do not think international affairs are any different. Oh, no, I am not an anti Semite. It is just that the Jews cheat everyone by their usury and role in society. They lie, the Bible lies, they are a bastard branch of humanity. The Rohingya? Oh, they set their own villages on fire and waded across rivers so they can rot in hunger and despair in Bangladesh refugee camps. And those wishful immigrants who try to come thru our orders from gasp! Mexico or Central America? What gall they have to seek refuge in the most famous place of refuge in the history of the world! The nerve! So what was that? But not to worry, for it seems that we have enough people willing to do the job of chasing these people, ripping families apart, kicking those already down, rounding them up, rendering their lives asunder They even volunteer to do it for no pay. Wow! Such a redeeming trait they have! What was that?
So between Russia's ads on Facebook, backdoor meetings with Trump campaign people, deny it though they do, Duterte's murderous rampage which seemingly is an anti drug campaign - seems if one kills all the people there will be no drug problems. Interesting method.
And the world keeps spinning on its what was that speech. It spins the lies and then dips them in Kool Aid for all to swallow. And that so many do swallow that Kool Aid is disheartening. So we need to keep asking and demanding WHAT WAS THAT? And demand answers, ones that make sense and at least carry some of the scent of truth.
