The Unauthorized World Situation Report

\Please Forgive My Taking So Long To Respond To The Manuscript You Sent Me. That Is The Unauthorized World Situation Report. You Are A Very Brave Soul To Take On The Liars And The Manipulators As You Have. I Would Even Go So Far As To Say That You Have Written Yourself Into A Dangerous Situation. There Are Too Many Of The Entrenched Who Would Be More Than Infuriated That You Have Blown The Cover From Their Game.... Your Fight Against The Inbred Stupidity Of The History Of This Century Is A Noble And A Lonely One. I Marvel At How You Persist Against The Odds. I Believe That Your Views Are On The Mark.... All Those Of Us Who Are Aware Can Do Is To Protect Our Own Minds Against This Onslaught Which Has Erased The Sensibilities Of Almost All Humans.\-Charles Bukowski. \Your Book Is Fantastic. I Reserve The Right To Plagiarize It At Will. Especially The Parts About The Origins Of World War Ii.\-Taki Theodoracopulos. From The Prologue.... Over The Decades Since The Second World War It Has Become Increasingly Fashionable For The President Of The United States To Make A Spectacle Of Himself In Any Number Of Remarkable Ways. The Sending Of An Annual \State Of The World\ Message To The Congress Of The United States Is A Prime Example. Granted On Its Own This State Of The World Message Is Nothing To Lose Sleep Over. The Document In Question Is Packed With Self-Serving Nonsense And Misinformation; It Is Routinely Filed Away And In Short Order Forgotten About. Nonetheless The Implications Of This \State Of The World\ Message Do Merit Our Attention And At Least Five Minutes Of Serious Thought. Why? For The Simple Reason That These Implications Are Fantastic When Viewed Within The Context Of History.. Briefly Stated The President Of The United States And The American Congress Are Presiding Over The Greatest Free-For-All In Recorded Time Bar None And Yet They Remain Confused Dissatisfied And Unfulfilled. It Seems That They Require Something More-A Larger Horizon A New Distraction Perhaps A Crusade To Justify Their Own Existence. They Are Not Sure What. At The Same Time It Must Be Perfectly Obvious-Even To Themselves-That They Are Ignorant Of Many Many Things. At The Top Of This List I Submit Is The Inescapable Confucian Truth A Truth Which Ezra Pound-Arguably America S Greatest Modern Poet-Attempted To Hand-Deliver To Them Just Prior To The Outbreak Of The Second World War. PoundS Message Was Simple To The Point And Irrefutable: One Must Have Order Within Oneself Before One Can Bring Order To Others. Pound Felt An Absence Of Order At The Center Of Things.. In Addition To Their Bread-And-Circus Exploits Pertaining To The Domestic Agenda The Politicians In Washington-Having Rejected Pound S Message Back In The Late 1930S-Now Talk And Act As If They Were Qualified To Direct The Affairs Of The Rest Of Planet As Well. Such A Conclusion Is What An Annual Presidential \State Of The World\ Message Sent In All Seriousness To The Congress Of The United States Must Logically Imply. Looking At The Factual Record That Is Precisely What Many High-Ranking Officials In Washington D.C. Have Been Working Overtime To Achieve. When Woodrow Wilson S Inner Circle Decided In 1917 To Railroad Their Hapless Fellow Citizens Into The Great War On Behalf Of The Tottering British Empire The Die Was Cast.
