Culebra is fighting an encroachment of would-be
"eco-minded" developers. In truth they are wolves
in sheep's clothing. Understanding the gross negligence
of social justice and equality, due to rapacious greed
helps understand the political/economic world that
has delivered this darkness at our door. In that spirit
here is the text of a recent speech that sums it up.
Read it if you dare, see if it makes sense and then
see if you can guess the soeaker.
"Our country has been hijacked and Congressmen have
proven themselves to have been in on the plan. When it
came to the Constitution, the leadership showed us that
aiding and abetting illegal spying on us was more important
to them than protecting our civil liberties.
When it came to war and occupation, the
leadership showed us that financing an illegal and
immoral war, based on lies, was more important to them
than the people's desire for peace.
And when the people, hurting from the financial
mismanagement of this country, called for accountability
for the crimes that have been committed against the
people here, against the global community, against nature,
itself, the Democratic leadership took impeachment off the
table!
"Entire cities are going into receivership while the
Congress gives the Pentagon one half trillion dollars
annually." They continue to fund war and occupation
to the tune of $720 million a day while our children
graduate from college tens - or even hundreds - of
thousands of dollars in debt.
They want us to believe that China and Russia are our
enemies, in addition to the 60 countries on Dick Cheney's
list. They want us to believe that workers, who come to
this country to support their families are our enemies, after
leadership in the country saddled workers with NAFTA,
. But we are here today to declare that we know who the
real enemies are: those false patriots that George Washington
warned us of, who wrap themselves in the flag while betraying
our values. We are the true patriots!
We know that the strength of this country lies in the way
it countenances dissent. And we are here to dissent.
. We can see clearly now who the real stickup artists are and
that's why we're in Denver! Our actions here this week begin
the disarming of the hijackers. But today, we are now free.
Free to stand on the four pillars guiding our political
engagement: environmental wisdom, peace, grassroots
democracy, and social justice. And finally, we know our
power. We know the power of the people. We know that
true power rests in the hands of the people. People who
are willing to take a stand.
Provided our elections are fair!
And if the Democrats cave in, in the face of fraud,
disfranchisement, and theft, then we will be there to
demand election integrity!
All over this country, the signs are there. People from
New York to Florida, Washington State to California,
Colorado to Texas are liberating themselves. We must
not stop! Our country is worth it! Let's take our country
back! Power to the People!"

The speaker was Cynthia McKinney former
South Carolina U.S. Congresswoman and
current candidate for President for the Green
Party. It's interesting the politicians that more
closely represent our positions are the ones that
we have been lectured, hounded, mocked, and cajoled
into hating or dismissing. That of course includes
Nader, Kucinich, Barry Sanders, and even Ron
Paul on the right.
Nothing is going to change, I mean nothing,
till we throw out the current crop
of whores-to-lobbyists. Either we wake up or
we go to revolution, cancel all the racketeers
and political thugs holdings and start fresh.
In the meantime I fight for Culebra, Keep it pure,
keep it simple, Now you know why I wrote a song
for Culebra, case you missed it, it's a ballad/anthem
kind a thing here's the words to Blue Dream
(It opens with fanfare trumpet, breaking surf,
and seagulls, Floyd Kramer piano licks refrain
the vocals)
