Darrell's Story
Life
life has been a long strange trip. At 19 I was a musician revealed to be a minor and fired from a Las vegas revue. A semester of El Camino and a animal house frat. I hitchhiked the USA twice. I met the girl I would marry at 20 in Greenwitch Village working at the Figero Cafe. Married in San Fransico in the "Summer of love 1967 (Strange days). 52 years so far, lived on the beach in Mexico with surfer expats. Worked in oil refineries; Joined the painters union doing large scale work in L.A.. Moved to Montana and a 60 acre ranch in Bitterroot valley raising Arabian horses. Moved to Albuquerque and became a penny stockbroker working for the Forbes 1981 Salesman of the year --who later went to prison! Raced dirt bikes and motocross into my late 30's. 1979 sojourned in India. In 1982 moved to Seattle and worked for Shearson as a stock and commodites broker. Absolute honesty disqualified me for that work and left that life returning to large construction painting. Became a paint contractor painting the rich on Bainbridge Island. Put three little kids in a great public school that prepared them for life. MY son (PHD Georgetown historian now at State Department Department of History (google Seth Rotramel), daughter Heather (Yale masters fine arts now at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art) and daughter Naomi U.W. Masters in Science and now chief arborist for City of Nashville.
I am a radical. Who wouldn't be after all the lies we've been told since the news of the killing of a president sent us home from class. The future sure looked bright when we were young until they killed the president, his brother, Martin, Malcom, Co-conspirator LBJ becomes president. The Gulf of Tonkin lie led us into useless (except for profiteers) tragic war in Viet Nam, Watergate was set up to replace Nixon with Cheney and Rumsfeld to mind Ford and make Bush (a JFK co-conspirator) CIA director. David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski select Carter for us and start a proxy war with our rebels (Osama Bin Ladin) against Russia in Afghanistan. The October Surprise deal prevented the release of hostages in Iran
to give us Reagan. Hostages were released during his inauguration. Iran Contra (run by Bush) killing nuns and priests and citizens...Expand for more
with drug money and the help of a Arkansas governor (later president) letting the CIA use a mountain top airstrip when congress made the operation illegal. Former CIA Director VP Bush almost became president two months into Reagan's term thanks to his close friend's son. Bush (CIA) becomes president and lies the country into the first Gulf War. Under Clinton (the former Arkansas governor) the Trade center 1st bombing and FBI involvement infiltrating the actors and suppling the explosives. Oklahoma city bombing (Arkansas investigations and Gulf war syndrome data stored there) created environment for passing (Patriot Act 1), Waco, Ruby Ridge, and Monica's blue dress and fellatio in the Oval Office on his watch. Going out the door Clinton sold the media to the highest bidder with The telecommunications act and deregulated the controls put in place after the markets crashed in 1929 in the financial markets. W brought us 911 the "New Pearl Harbor" event (google Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth) and continuous war ever since. The 911 commision was organized by a Neo-con whose doctoral thesis in college was "The importance of maintaining public myths". Katrina showed the complete inepitude of FEMA. Corruption of government is unlimited money, blackmail, and murder. Propaganda and complete surveillance state is now our norm. Orwell and Huxley's "Brave New World" and "1984" synthesized is becoming reality. Years ago foreigners in the then Soviet Union wondered why so many Russians would take walks at 10:00 pm. Thats when the news was on. They knew it was propaganda. We trust our talking heads and even Cher's and Madonna's opinion. Mark Twain said "It's easier to lie to someone than convince them they have been lied to". Most people have no idea we are being led by the six mega corporations that feed us official truth. We never learn or hold the lies to account Even a former president, Carter has said we are no longer a constitutional democracy. Just as the taxpayer Bank gambling bail outs prevented "Systemic Economic Failure" what will happen to the media when enough people realize it is the generator of official myths. Unlikely to happen. The "New Frontier" future vision of our youth has become something else entirely.
