Hey there, Rachel, you’re old enough to remember this classic scene; you must however, read it in a Cheech Marín, voice: 🎤 Mexican Americans—love education, so they go to night school, and they take Spanish—and get “B”… “It’s like a protest tune.” [2]. As a product of both the Mexican grade school system, and of one of the many–many–many independent (High School) districts in the Great State of California, i always found that entire scene funny —if not hillarious, and mostly because of how crisp and true it rang to all my fellow Chelas, and Chanos, sitting in High School next to me. Language barriers from English to Spanish were always a riot; not so much the other way around when the Sand Glass was flipped, because  getting lost in translation from Latin American to White Anglo Saxon Politics was a diferent kind of riot, one with no punchlines, but rather punches for every point grounded in facts. From fellow students, to American History teachers, and of course my counselor: Uncle Sam’s America was always right, “here’s your “D” in American History.” Next year you are enrolled in “Home Ed” class. The note had to be signed by the “parental units,” i received the barely passing grade not for lack of knowledge (if i remember well) but for lack of attention and for disturbing the class… it was sometime between 1986 to ’89; Gibson hit one of the greatests home runs in “World” Series History, and yours truly was already soaked in testimonials and first person anecdotes about what went on in a ranch called Bufalo; but most important about the tales of the man who took down FBI agent Enrique Camarena… on the Billboard charts Point Dexter was feeling “hot-hot-hot,” just as Oliver North was raising his right hand in front of the Senate in order to justify “the gipper’s” Iran Contra “Gun Walking” program.  Fucking Nancy was giving major Shade To Her Former Friend Rock Hudson: SHE JUST SAID NO to him when a Parisian hospital called to secure Ronnie’s support: REPUBLICAN COMPASION AT ITS Best!

Two X-mas’ ago we [the staff] received a multimedia box set about “The Salt of The Earth,” or something like that. We never found the time to watch it (a second time) so the gift just sat there; waitng for someone to put it on the disk drive and hit the playback mode.  •—¡—•.  EFEMERIDE IMPROVISADA… fue PRECISAMENTE en un día como ayer, pero de 1945, cuando La Carta de Las Naciones Unidas entró en efecto, la organización de Países Alineados después de la 2da Guerra Mundial tenía … perdón tiene, sigue teniendo la esperanza de que todo el mundo algún día cante al unísono, la canción de Disneylandia: “It’s A Small World After All.”  [3]  .•—!—•.  Let’s take this last theme song sentence up a notch, shall we? According to Sarah Chayes, a leading authority in the field of corruption, according to TRMS, and her work (Sarah’s not Rachel’s) in Afghanistan, “people subjected to systematic corruption react  by going to extremes.” TRMS 23/Oct/2017. [1].  If we heard right, Chayes attributes the success of the Boko Haram affiliate ambush in Niger as a territorial consequence, rather than an ideological inspired attack… i once had the very brief opportunity of exchanging “off the record” comments with a Food an Agriculture U.N. oficial, it was around the time when the current Mexican Secretary of the National Sports Commision, el licenciado Alfredo Castillo, was charged with disbanding the “auto defensas” in the Tierra Caliente  of the State of Michoacán…. Hold that thought, right now we have to ‘race like a pissed horse’ and another blackout is headed to our parade. •—¡—• TimeStamp: 19h30 CET.

“It turns out that this village was a << liddle >> contaminated by hostile forces… the unit stayed a << liddle >> longer than expected because, apparently people were aware that something [fishy, perhaps?] was going on.” }-~~•> Excerpt was piggybacked from a segment of the TRMS aired on Monday the 23rd of October, the link to that clip is hyperlinked in “Thing 2” below…  the segment was the prelude to Eric Holder expert opinion on the relationship between the current Attornney Gral. of “King” Donald the boar, first of his name, and The White House.
