Sike! i would kill myself before i ran for President. i march to the beat of my own drum, and i do it ALONE.
i have so many things running through my mind right now, in regards to the events that have taken place within the last few days… i just need to write them down.
Politics are not my thing. They never have been, and they never will be. i had enough faith in Obama to vote for him, but that’s about the extent of my political activity. Oh, yeah, i also voted for Nader in the election before that. i don’t know what kind of president Ralph Nader would have turned out to be, but he is responsible for hipping me to the concept of green living. And at that time, he was supported by Cornel West (one of my heroes). i was actually able to see West speak at a Nader rally in 2000, at Henry J. Kaiser….
Back to my point – i often ignore anything to do with politics, because it stresses me out. i like to live life pretending the lies and corruption do not exist, and that’s how i survive. So i have little knowledge of the war, Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden or the Taliban. i also choose not to pay attention to anything pertaining to political parties. What’s the difference between a Democrat and a Republican? And what the hell is the Tea Party? Personally, i hate labels. therefore i will never associate myself with any such thing. I’m Leah, dammit! i’m a Cancer, born in the year of the Earth Goat, with a moon in Virgo and Virgo rising. And i’m an artist.
Yes, all these things that separate us, they are all illusory. So even if someone does not share the same views as me, i am not going to judge them, or even try to change their mind. But that will not stop me from saying what i think needs to be said.
i actually learned about the supposed “death of Osama bin Laden” on Twitter, from Maxwell, of all people. After that, my timeline was inundated with patriotic, pro-Obama tweets. (Mind you, up to now, i’ve had no real qualms with Obama. i’ve kinda ignored him for the past 3 years. The only time he becomes a part of my reality is when he is mentioned by Tavis Smiley and Cornel West.) As i read these tweets, my heart sank. i can’t tell you why, but i knew it was all wrong. As i said before, i don’t know much about bin Laden, (though i did watch Fahrenheit 9/11), but what i’ve gathered is that he’s not a savory person. So the feeling i was feeling was not one of compassion, or sorrow. i guess i just felt bad for humanity – and how we think. We react too quickly, and don’t take the time to analyze a situation, or search for the truth.
Just like everything else in the news, after 2 days, the noise had died down and only a few people were still talking about it. But me, i’ve been researching, and listening to different points of view. Frankly, the President and his people are not doing a good job at convincing me. i mean, C’MON! A sea burial? And no photos? Just the fact that the announcement interrupted ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ was too much for me. Straight HOLLYWOOD.
i can’t prove that Osama bin Laden was killed in 2004, but i don’t doubt it’s a possibility. There are videos, credible videos to make you question it, like the one that shows Benazir Bhutto talking about Osama bin Laden being killed by Omar Sheikh in 2007 (http://youtu.be/UnychOXj9Tg). i don’t know, you be the judge. Let your heart and intuition guide you – don’t take anyone else’s word for it.
In closing, i would just like to say that i don’t want no problems with Big Brother, or the U.S. Government lol. i like my freedom and my privacy (the little bit i still have). i know i’m not the sharpest tool in the box, but the intelligence i do possess?? i don’t want it insulted. Dig? Why not show me, and the rest of America a little respect, and just be HONEST for a change. Yeah, i know that will never happen, but a girl can dream…
EVERYBODY (that includes you, me, the Prez, Donald Trump and every living soul across the globe) get FREE! Free your mind, use your heart as your guide, stop putting money first, find your passion, help somebody, love yourself, quit lyin’, appreciate your loved ones, stop giving to receive, take back your health… Be HAPPY.
