Just Add Some MILK There, While You're At It, Why Don't You?!?
Now, do not panic, ladies and gentlemen, at the sight of this title right here! This isn't to go on a very distasteful diatribe against the publishing industry again (or the movie industry, music industry, pharmaceutical industry... basically any industry there is, really! Agro? Perish the thought: I have respect for dairy farmers; they're not pub-leech-ers! But I'm digressing already here - as per usual as I love to do...!) - although, I am pretty sure that I've said it before; maybe not blogged it, but certainly said it: these things are mass-produced, dried-up, repackaged and strewn-over so much, all you have to do to consume them is add milk, or water - et voilà!
Admittedly, yes, adding water could work too. But that is not the point right now...
A recently published book has apparently successfully linked the assassination plots that offed JFK, MLK and RFK... A movie about one Harvey MILK was released recently enough, too - and it narrowingly beat the release of that book; thank Sean Penn for that - as if to say Harvey is more greatly missed than John, Martin and Robert - so why not have included him in the mix as well, hmm? They killed the Kennedys because they wanted to change things; so wanted Martin Luther King. And Harvey Milk too! If he had had his way, the gay way would have been far easier - that much sooner. So Harvey was as much a 'threat of change' as the other three. But the book does not go so far. Maybe Milk wasn't so necessary to, ah, milk it, I suppose...
Easy pun to make - I know.
But you can see where I'm going with this - can't you?
JFK, MLK and RFK - wow, and they call it "bombshell" material?
What's more, this is a SURPRISE to some...?!?
I'll tell you what a "heavily researched" book could surprise me with: if it actually successfully linked the murders of Nicole Brown, Ron Goldman and the mass suicide of that Heaven's Gate cult...!
Now THAT would be surprising!
If someone wrote a book that tried to tie together the "suicide" of one Marilyn Monroe with that of George Reeves and that of Van Gogh...!
Now THAT would be mightily surprising, yes...!
If any author out there attempts to assemble shoe-horned evidence that "proves without a shadow of a doubt" that it was the exact same conspirators that attempted to kill Ronald Reagan, Pope John-Paul II and Lucky Luciano and then turned around and traced links to the actual assassinations of Gandhi, Benazir and Yitzhak - now THEN AND ONLY THEN would I be forced to pause and go "OH MY GOD - they're right!!!"
A conspiracy theorist's wet dream, in short - THAT is the only thing that could possibly "shock" me out of my state of luminescent indifference!
Or rather, not indifference but IMPERMIABILITY!
Because, let's face it now: anyone like me has already seen IT ALL.
And nothing, I repeat, absolutely NOTHING can surprise me anymore!
For I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
And I do mean EVERYTHING.
Obviously, this is meant in real-life; not in ''revised history'' or whatever this exercise should be called - and revisionism is what I always adhered to as label, to be frank. All of this ''revisionary'' work is, therefore, superfluous at best - for it preoccupies us with past events (even though time is an illusion - we have to keep with it) while very serious are going down right now - and we ignore it.
What is the point of preoccupying oneself with past tragedies - if it is not to be forewarned and prevent such occurrences to ever happen again in the future - meaning right now!
Or haven't you heard - the future is now!
Our focus should be on it - not on the things we cannot change anymore (unless they create that time machine H.G. wrote about!) and most certainly not on invented stories (and I say this even though fiction is my forté...!)
We are, increasingly so, in a world that is simply blind to the dangers that surrounds it - so many do not read at all and those who do are reading the wrong material...!
That is why even writing books seems nearly superfluous to me at this time; since REALITY is so much more unbelievably disturbing than fiction!
