What does a one-stick drum sound like?
“boom boom boom boom boom boom . . . .”
(Eventually you get the point. Oh – it’s “boom.”)

About getting your agenda through – if you pound the public with only one side of the story, eventually the public “softens” and accepts that one point of view.
Ever see a drum and bugle corps performance – in person?
It’s an amazing thing. Dozens of drummers playing a rich complex, musical rhythm that is quite mesmerizing. It’s an artistic experience that fully engulfs you.
But — one drum stick? Imagine –
Bang. Bang. Bang. Boom. Boom. Boom.
Not much of a musical experience!
But one single drum beat, repeated, can have quite an effect on our mental processes:
. . . boom . . . boom . . . boom . . . boomity boom . . . boom . . .
. . .boom . . . trump . . . boom . . . russia . . . boom . . . collusion . . . boom . . . trump . . . boom . . . russia . . . boom . . . collusion . . . According to polls of Democrats, 68% of them think that “President Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia in order to get elected.”
Huh? Proof, evidence, testimony, paper documents, and the money trail all show that the Hillary campaign colluded with the Russians (to obtain a false document that was presented to the FISA court to get permission to spy on an American citizen who worked on the Trump campaign . . . Hillary colluded . . . with a Russian government official and a former British spy who declares his hatred of President Trump and who obtained that false document and transmitted it to members of the Hillary campaign.
I understand, however, that the drumbeat from the entertainment-news media uses the word “trump” and “russia” and “collusion” like a boom boom boom from one drumstick on a drum.
68% of Democrat voters think that it was Trump who colluded.

You can do it with science too. “Boom out” or broadcast only one set of facts, false facts or true facts, as long as they’re one-sided, one drumstick . . . .
In spite of many thousands of scientists, with thousands of studies, that show that the planet’s average temperature is not rising, it may be cooling slightly, antarctic ice is not disappearing, it’s actually growing, ocean levels are not rising, and the penguins and polar bears are safe, in spite of all that, “Global Climate Change” problems are still being promoted.
It has to be promoted. The flow of hundreds of Billions of US dollars is at stake.
Remember the news article a few months ago that some antarctic expedition returned with the dismaying report that even the Emperor Penguins have disappeared?
Did you hear that a very large colony of them have been “found”? They had just moved to another part of Antarctica. (That’s the “other half” of the story.)
Ice is melting in Antarctica? Ice is melting in Antarctica. Ice is melting in Antarctica. Ice is melting in Antarctica. . . .
No. According to a BBC report (a Far Leftist source of information)
Some 272 billion tonnes more snow were being dumped on the White Continent annually in the decade 2001-2010 compared with 1801-1810.
This yearly extra is equivalent to twice the water volume found today in the Dead Sea.
And: 10% more precipitation (snow) in that same time period. (Remember, Ice Ages don’t begin with lower temperatures – it doesn’t get “icy cold’ in an Ice Age. What happens is that snow falls are greater, earlier in the Fall, later in the Spring, and less of it melts from one winter to another. The ice pack increases in depth; glacier-type ice forms and grows in depth from one year to another.
(The BBC article is obliged to tell us that the ice is melting down there on one part “really fast” — but they don’t strike with the other drumsticks: (1) the part of the ice shelf that is melting is already floating over the water – that ice melt won’t add to ocean levels, (2) underneath those parts of the melting ice shelves are not “automobiles and cow flatulence from evil meat-eaters”; underneath the ice are many new volcanoes, 91 new ones so far have been discovered. The water is being warmed in that vicinity by volcanoes.)

Back to the U.S. Lots and lots of drum booms for “March of Women who Hate Trump and Wear Pink Hats” and “March for Women’s Rights” and the march against gun-ownership where many schools facilitated their students field trip to Washington DC to participate and boom . . . boom . . . boom lots of celebrities promoted themselves by being interviewed with the marchers . . .
Hardly a sound about the much larger marches and demonstrations such as the February “March for Life,” the many rallies supporting Pres. Trump and his policies, and this week’s Students March Against Abortion – with 365 schools around the country participating. But I can’t find any information on that yet.
Just . . . no information.

Maybe this is an exercise in Zen paradoxes: What is the sound of one hand clapping?
Facebook and Twitter and YouTube take away one hand in our country – the conservative hand.
“Zen” ideas are nice and sweet, cute, but this can get dangerous for the world too. There are many governments around the world who are questioning the source of the chemical gas attack in Syria. Some are even questioning whether it happened.
I don’t know. I don’t have an opinion on that. There is an extremely LOUD SCREEN of BOOM BOOM BOOM – President Assad did it to his own people – BOOM BOOM BOOM . . . Assad did it – Assad did it – Assad did it . . .
Aren’t those called WAR DRUMS?
All our Founding Fathers agreed that in order to hold on to our nation, the voting public would have to be well-informed and intelligent enough to understand the issues. We have to work very hard today to become well-informed. Too hard.
Some people have an Agenda to insert into our country. They need to “transform” the American people. They need for the American people to acquiesce to their agenda.
They seem to have a very loud single drumstick.

The other half of the story:
In a follow-up to the unexplained death of Deputy Sheriff Fitzsimons in a couple posts ago – one of the things he was questioning is why there was permission granted for the Parkland students (and associates) to assemble in Washington DC before the shooting even happened.
Seems strange. I still can’t find the .jpeg of that email, but here is a copy of the words from that email inquiry:
Good morning,
