Waxing musefully over the sesquipedalian rodomontades of a decade re immigration and a resultant white-hot USA economy for nationals and immigrants together, it occurred to me a lot of double-talk, concurrent pro/con positioning from same mouths, flew from every media and political oracle. You used to hear, for example, Mayor Daley back in the 1990's say that ever-growing New Urbanism would result in jobs, plus rich people coming to live in the new high-priced everything, which thus would even further stimulate local personal economies; immigrants from all over Latin America poured in, classed by media/officials as all "Mexicans", and were to told not to fret about repaying Su Casa New Urban housing, State healthcare costs, et al...trabajo would soon be theirs, as America is still a huge industrial edifice in fact needing to go green it pollutes with so much good wage job-related byproducts.

 

Ah, how most of us together today chuckle at that sort of stuff, eh? And right now, domestically and foreign-owned (e.g., Saudi Citibank) have lots of New Urban Chicago and USA locales where they could use USA bailout money to create factories, offices, jobs...right now, just don't ask WHAT or WHERE, as usual; um, it also seems to need NEW schools that current diverse racial/ethnic/religious educators may not be a part of.

 

More relevant double-talk: Pope Benedict XVI has concurrently made Holocaust denial (genocide ignoring) a part of allowable faith doctrine as well as something he immediately condemns; confusing, no? The same thing goes with modern RC soul/resurrection theory: see, if you are rotten as can be to people, lie, effectuate as if you were "only following orders" re anything smelly at all, the soul dies with the body and rots together with it, so if between your life and the Parousia, if people come round and say what you did...even violative of all Ten Commandments...Christ in the end will resurrect you and forgive you like latter day clergy did. Unless as a nuisance you're a Catholic who believes the Thomas Aquinas Summa Theologica defintion of soul such that it goes for judgment immediately after leaving the body...then of course, YOU'RE right too! Just persona non grata, like those who don't align with the pro-Islamic ironfist rulers who want the Jews gone or no peace.

 

In the Chicago archdiocese, you certainly are branded "medieval" and a "pest" of questionable mentality and future mental health if you have, say, a Fulton Sheen view of Roman Catholicism; if you believe that you and your family come before even at the loss of others based on others not sharing your religious credo, then the devil can have those others and the small "real church" will go forward. If nothing else, all will be worked out when at Parousia Christ sees the only remaining Christians, no matter how few, agree that those cut down in between were of no sinful loss. This, Chicago just gave $1 million to ensure its continued teaching due to lack of archdiocese parishoners (ALL OF LAKE AND COOK COUNTIES) having the cash themselves.

 

Now, Mayor Daley says he is NO enemy of Israel, in fact, a vehement ally thereof (q.v., e.g., http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/950120,iran051508.article )...indeed, the MEDIA Daley insists anyone who attacks Israel will be treated as if they attacked his Roman Catholic being personally. Certainly, MEDIA Daley would never side with Mymood Alibabajihad, Hamas, Hezzbollah, Qaeda, blah blah blah. 

 

At the same time, Mayor Daley is now in the Mid East, per USA media, alleging there will soon be non-stop flights from (not "TO and from", one notes) Saudi Arabia which "will bring business to Chicago" and the USA...um, no, nobody's said what industry(ies), where, how may jobs, or why the Saudis need to see Daley before even Citicorp can lend out a cent of bailout bucks.

 

One hopes that unlike his Pope, this time Daley isn't just pulling our leg, or that the motif for this Presidential term is to bring in assorted African/Mid East Muslims on ruse to them they'll have houses and jobs and healthcare, while we lazybones/terroristic/racist/nationalist/VAWAbusive blah blah blah white, non-white, Hispanic, Hindu, and so forth wait in fretful expectation of these "next" well-to-do immigrants to first house themselves, then deliver an economy for all so bright we gotta wear shades.

 

I mean no invidiousness presently to Daley or Saudi government, and certainly to any Muslims or anyone else who might get as fast a shuffle as the rest of us do; it's just that there IS a pattern over the last 15 years, the world IS where it's at, few leading faces have changed; we hear "Blagojevich blah blah blah", but not one thing Blago "blahed" is ever followed upon to see what it is and if anybody is STILL continuing "blah" in his absence...makes it seem that rather than CAUSING much folks shouldn't like, he was getting in the way of its superfast expansion(s)...would not accelerating whatever bad deals, plans, whatever, just make everybody doing it "mini-Blagos" from now on? When all we get is shrinking jobs, broadcast media, and media outlets generally, amid infinite double-talk, it can be hard to spot the change for the forest.
