STORY
May 18th 2020
For today's blog, after Saturday's poll result honoring Joan of Arc's canonization, I will present fastidiously, the interview from yesterday, the positively incomparable senior rapper Simon Wheeler the third as my guest, and query him concerning a man over ten thousand voters do not know, Leo Smiley, advocate to the homeless Leo Smiley, and display it after I explain some reservations.  
I have wondered the purpose behind my fanbase, even if they are free or real as the random write in winning a poll is the definition to modern falsehood, hoping it is not to convey information about JSmiles1, who Leo Smiley knows too well as episode 69 concerning banned internet words attest, and convey information about Leo Smiley will help a thesis for an online class I am taking, while JSMiles1 is not worth telling children about.
Simon Wheeler the third was at a replica of Angel's Hotel in his house, kept a mask on even though he lived alone, eyes showed a love of life, a pizza stain on his captain planet shirt showed a love of food, he never looked at me during the interview, he looked to the left when sad, to the right when happy , to the ceiling when quiet, to the floor when bellowing, he seemed to be preaching to the world about a prophet, though I did not ask about one. So, I asked him one question, if he knew about Leo Smiley, and he gave his reply, which concluded our interview. He replied:
Ohhhh, you know there was a playa, name JSmiles1 I tell ya, he live two blocks down the road. I think his ancestor, a simple harvester, came as a pilgrim , not the one's in films then, while eight others came from the east. But when he received, and after he was Extremely pleased, his first phone , a ring tone to moan, came after every messaging. For no one wanted, he was not stunted, to message him first you see. A simple moan, not like a loud one from ol' Joan, was all he wanted to hear. If he saw anything, whether or not a plaything, he wanted to text message it , announce or boast it, right then and there. If he saw a couple, even if their life seem supple, arguing in their home, he made a texting tome. If he saw a squirrel, whether still or in a twirl, busying about a tree, he will text how later it flee. If kids were playing ball in the street, he will text it; if a pigeon took bread and flew away, he will text it. If he saw two kids flying paper airplanes he will text it. If he saw some fellas, all of them brothas, on his favorite corner, not the one with music by werner, singing or drinking about,... he will wait, cause it's never too late, for Hakim Johnson , graduate of the Harlem boys choir, and invitational caroler to the Vatican twice the pride of his sire, to etch out a tune, with magic like a rune, and do it with a smile, like all the good unpaid acts of the Hollywood miles. If he saw a kid, not one that hid, on a bike being chased, he will follow his trail, longer than the route for mail, and message every step of the way. That is why whenever JSmiles1 was about, every kid, lady, playa, knew his route. He message anything he could, if messages was water he'd fill up the woods. One time a woman named Janine, fell from the city heat, and her fall made a loud scene. I can not say who picked her up, or her apartment or who put medicine in her cup, but JSMiles1 came in her place, and looked all interested at her face, and was told she will be all well, three high fathers and two hail mary’s, yes. JSMiles1 merely texted, "She ain't recovered yet"
JSMiles1 had a video game system, officially it was called a Listem, but folk called her Susan, with eyes near the control port and all. To start took five minutes to load, the sound of popcorn waiting was always to explode, cause she would never turn on, with her insides all done, cause of rain, or some pain, after a lifelong injury with a fall. Her game was simple, shoot through a space like a fipple, all the players always let her go first. If cable was on she will pause, or maybe it was the telephone that was the cause, but the user always gained huge points, but before the winning tally, in each and I mean each and every rally, she will come out with a glitch, and literally say one word on the screen, ditch , hitch or witch, and then she win.
And, he had a brown basketball, more like a handball, seemed to let out gas, with each and every pass, but whenever he was shot, turned into a perfect pi-rock, and clear out rivals from the lot. Some tried to use a different ball, but a calamity will always predate its fall, truck/knife/bullet or something where Ronald Reagan which is the name of the ball, passed around dead and dying, JSMiles1 telling all the angry they lying, until he get the ball whop, a shot go in and mouths drop, while JSMiles1 message what he saw. That ball was always good for a story, various literal glory, till the day the kids played with brown ball, bigger than a common handball, Reagan tried to replace him, but he wasn't able to trick him, and disheartened the old ball puffed all his air out. Ronald was a good ball, and could had made it onto Ringling brothers, but no call came before his fall, and he was unlike any of his others. Shed a tear, let the drink drop, the last great basketball I was once near, sad he went out a flop.
The great JSMiles1, the only one, had a jump rope, dice, a rooster, a genie's collection of everything, so he could message about anything. He one time caught a frog, hopped into his hand from a fog, in the local park, texted "I have a green son to teach", for months he spoke like a lark, teaching under a year the hopper. Hop over a toy car, hop over the plastic star, catch a fly over an orange juice glass, catch a fly under the chair for his wee lass. The frog has no limit, he said, over and over again, each day teach a lil bit, he said, believe in him, believe in him. I saw Steph in my home, right behind me, begin a tome, "in the beginning flies " for no fee, and faster than superman, a hop over a stan' , then more stoic than a Tibetan monk as if all his ambition sunk. No frog was ever like him, before or afterward. JSMiles1 love to boast about the little green beastie, kept him safe when he traveled in a pocket made side his hoodie. One day, a loner, a stranger on the block, asked: "what is that thing on your neck, a sock". JSMiles1 say:"yoyoyo don't talk about my son, he may bite you like a snake or leap at you like a rat, but he is just my pet, frog"
Surprised, the guy wonder what's it talent and why.
JSMiles1 smile and smile: "he is the Frog that I always message everyone about, the frog that can outleap any other frog you can find or see"
The distant neighbor shake his head, no and no and no.  
"I am willing to put my money where my mouth is": JSMiles1 preach. "You have not studied the fine art of frog training, clearly, you only seen things on tv... He can out jump any frog in Calaveras county, cause he always did, and since your shirt show you a trader, I am willing to bet forty dollars, my fellow playa"
The stranger hummin: "To bad, but I will never know and neither will you. I have no frog, but if I did... I will bet you"
And JSMiles1 brighten: "wait a minute, stay right there, here is my hoodie I will be right back"
The fella took out his wallet and sat down on the fire hydrant; he ponder to himself, about the possible new wealth, and took the frog out his blanket, and remembering his lunch, pushed in a bit from chopped rotisserie chicken, as a late frog brunch. On the concrete the frog sat, still like a wrestler out for the count on the mat.  JSMiles1 returned all muddy, clothes colored around a ruddy, with a common wild frog in his hands and say: "ok, we are now ready. Here... and place him next to Steph Hawkin, that is my frog' name, and you best remember it after this. On three we will let them go"
Both men held their racers, each hopping a hop is no different than phasers. The stranger give a gentle tap, and the wild frog hop elsewhere on the concrete map. But, Steph just sat there, wonderin like the hippies did over there. No matter what his frog just sat and JSmiles1 had to admit, in his message, where his frog was at.  
The guy took the money and went on down the sidewalk, but before he crossed the street, he look to Steph and balk: "us another simple frog I see"
JSmiles1 was upset, and stared at his son now set: "What is wrong with you Steph, tell me" After a lift he noticed his weight, and all comprehension concerned his former fate. He saw the stranger turn a distant corner and raced after him getting warmer, and warmer, but he never caught him. And
 
Suddenly a yell, the rapper leaped from his seat and placed his face close to the screen: "Stay right there , brother man"
But, I think I learned enough about the infamous JSMiles1 and doubted much will come about Leo Smiley so I cut off the video conference with a polite message. Immediately after, I got a reply from Wheeler, about JSmiles1 Volkswagen beetle his grandfather gave him. But, I had no further inclination and took my leave.

Profd made the following post
https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12748-made-in-china-why-is-it-considered-usa-adversary/

And it's primary plus elemental position is the USA + China are in a financial synergy that disallows the concept that china is a threat. BUT, said synergy has two problems.
First the true relationship of the usa side china isn't financial but militaristic.
Second, the generator of the stated financial synergy is not the usa.


Nuclear Powered Countries and money
The reason the Nuclear powers: USA/Russia/China/ England/France made the Non proliferation treaty wasn't for peace but control. Non proliferation isn't about saving humanity, it is about allowing a set of countries, the exclusive nuclear powers set to be in a class beyond themselves. This is why, Russia or China who continuously are deemed similar to Iran/North Korea/Cuba/Libya under Quadaffi or others are never treated like them. The reason is, the iran's of the world don't have nuclear weapons.
Notice the USA has never invaded Russia. why? Russia has a huge nuclear weapons arsenal. For all the rhetoric about Putin or Russian crimes the USA and France through the European Union will never advocate a confrontation into russia because no one can guarantee the nuclear weapons will not fly and the damage from a nuclear war will derail all fiscal activity.
But having said that the nuclear powers have never been allies. They are at war all the time.
The only time the usa will not see China as a threat is when China doesn't have nuclear weapons while the only time China will not see the usa as a threat is when the usa doesn't have nuclear weapons.
Nuclear war is superior to money/global trade system. Most countries can't do it and the usa is trying hard to limit the numbers who come in.
But USA/Russia/China/England/ France/ISrael/Pakistan/ India are all enemies, they simply have an arrangement because they are in the rarest class of modern governments, nuclear powers , thus must be treated unlike the cuba's , kosovo's, others who absent nuclear power, simply don't have the weapons to truly threaten the world.

Who is the WE in the USA?
The post from PRofd has an initial statement. "China has been the blue-collar labor force for the United States of America (USA) for several decades now."
The USA is reaching 250 years soon. I have never denied I don't care for the usa, even as a boy. But, the one thing I have never seen in the usa is honesty, truth.
The usa , not merely its wealthy or powerful or its government levels, but the common farmers, homeless urban dwellers, and most others have one disease that sickens me. It is the disease of unstraight lies.
The very declaration of independence sto the united states of america starts with an unstraight lie. "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal"
The following is an unstraight lie "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal"
The person who wrote that is a white european enslaving incestual rapist, but beyond his identity, the unstraight lies are ever present.
"We"
who was we? who is we? When the writer f the line was composing his words, was he speaking about native americans, being massacred? he was speaking about black people of african descent who are enslaved or their descendants? Do all humans know all humans are human? yes. But does that suggest all humans can be spoken for? the answer is never. You can never speak for all humans and thus the unstraight lie.
"All men are created equal"
the tragedy in this is, the writer was being honest, he was speaking of men, not women, but he is unstraight, he wasn't speaking of all men he was speaking of white european men. But moreover, when anyone suggest that all men created eqaul suggest all humans are created equal , that is another unstraight lie. The two phrases don't connect. All men created equal means just that, not women . All humans are created equal means just that. BUt are all humans created equal? no. Anyone who has seen a child with cerebral palsy struggle knows, all humans are not created equal. Are all humans human? yes, but they are not all created equal.
Like the one who wrote the phrase "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal" , Profd in true Statian/ of the USA tradition or heritage, has created an unstraight lie. The USA has a legal structure which suggest all in the usa are united in responsibility to the actions of the usa, The suggestion has never been true. Again, who is we? did black towns in the south want chinese blue collar labor, started, in the 1970s when they were fighting to get labor from the same white owned businesses that fled to china and its cheaper labor? no. Did Native American reservations want chinese blue collar labor , started, in the 1970s when they were fighting to get the legal right to start businesses on reservation land which many still don't have? no. Did fiscal poor white towns in the appalachias want chinese blue collar labor, started in the 1970s, when they were fighting to get keep their land from state governments who were using all sorts of techniques to take their land for natural resources or other projects? no.
So who wanted chinese blue collar labor to have the position it does int he usa? fiscally wealthy whites. They started in the 1960s to deire this fiscal change to get cheaper labor supported by many, not all or most, whites who didn't want black people to have any happiness. What a majority of whites wanted in the 1960s was for business to maintain investment in white towns/communities in the usa and blockade the non white in the usa. What a majority of blacks wanted in the 1960s was for business to expand their opportunities to blacks while keeping activities completely in the usa. What a majority of native americans wanted in the 1960s was the right to start business and have native american controlled financial zones in the reservations that could do business with the business in the usa beyond the reservations. Instead white owned fiscal corporations moved 99% of blue collar jobs outside the usa altogether, deleting the desires or plans of most native americans most blacks plus most fiscally poor whites. But in parallel said white fiscal corporations created the modern labored and blue collar populaces around the world outside the usa. The government liked it, because it was like a payment for adhering to the governmental order of the usa. But the price is today.
Everyone in the usa knows what i said is true, but too many in the usa want to suggest unstraight lies.
The smallest populace in the usa, the mega rich chose to manipulate the labor environment in the usa to cut all the blue collar jobs out and place them overseas. but the 99% didn't want that and even after decades, the 99% still want those jobs back or have become so resentful that they simply dislike the foreigner.

Profd argument to the future is instead of complaining about what happened in the past against your favor or want, focus on trying to make the system , that you didn't design and is designed against you, work better for you, however you can. The idea is adjustment while bitter over resentment. while hateful. The element that dictates the polarity is patience. The 1% in the usa can wait for change or ride out changes, whether they want them or not, , they have the money or resources. The 99% don't have the resources to ride out or wait for changes. Which means for the 99% to wait for change they have to embrace a truth, the change may never come no matter what they do, even working for it every day. This is a test of patience and I argue, after two hundred and fifty, 250, years many, and arguably a majority ,definitely a majority of Black descended of enslaved , have no patience to adjust in cycles till finding comfort.

IN AMENDMENT
How can patience be increased in any person or group... by being earned. If a person goes outside their home one day and a person hits them in the face, they may have patience and come out again the next day. But if a person keeps getting punched in the face every day they come out for three hundred and sixty five days no matter how hard they try to dunk or punch or talk or fight back or any strategy, sooner or later, they will simply stay in the house. Their patience is dried up. In two hundred and fifty years the usa has never had one place in it, not one city or town where native americans were powerful, adored, loved, strong, able to protect themselves no matter what, in control. not one city or town where Blacks were powerful, adored, loved, strong, able to protect themselves no matter what, in control.... yes, some people native americans/blacks/whites/females/ males or other have shown the ability to be patient throughout their life with the usa. But, most will never be able to do that, we are not created equally, we humans are not all the same.

It seems to me what your suggesting needs to happen in the future is for people ,more people, the ninety nine percent 99%, the majority in the united states of america u.s.a., to embrace adjusting more positively to the fiscal environment or governmental bureaucracies of the u.s.a. led by the u.s.a.'s one percent fiscal wealthy, even if they didn't want them, were unable to stop them being implemented, are suffering under them, or some negative.
I can say many people, various phenotypes/genders/religions/ages/ in various geographies in the usa have stated similar to you. There is a movement of people in the usa who stand with you. Is it a majority? I don't know, and I gamble no.
In the two hundred and fifty year history of the united states of america, i argue a majority in the populace across all racial types [phenotype/gender /religion or others] have been impatient or unsatisfied with the system. But, the minority in this country has always found a way with its resources to stop the impatient majority from jumping to violence to anarchy/a system absent any ruler whether be the law or an individual. Said minority which today includes women plus blacks plus latinos has gotten the majority to embrace stillness, do nothing which isn't patience it is a calm before a storm, in which every time the calm is extended the storm gets bigger. Two hundred and fifty year is a long extension.
I end with positive... some say strong people lead themselves. I argue a peoples goals dictate their actions. Complacency isn't equivalent to weakness, complacency can occur when one is actually happy with the way things are, not merely being coerced into activity by others. The problem with the populaces that make up the majority in the usa is they need to be convinced that engagement will lead to results each populace wants, something that has never happened in the usa. To restate the usa has never had a time in its history where native americans/blacks/whites/ latinos/women men/old/young/immigrants/orphans/prisoners/ or others got what they wanted. Either few win or all lose is what happens in the usa. So the only way for that to be undone is an era of leadership . The usa had a great era of multiracial leadership in the 1960s that was assassinated/poisoned/imprisoned/similar injury by a combination of fiscal plus governmental agents who had something to lose if all groups won. But if a a great era of multiracial leadership can happen once, it can happen again.
But, one must have patience.
