Two Bored of Pieces of Peace

AKA: Bored of Peace Part 2

Too Bored of Peace

Approximately four months ago, I published a piece (no pun intended) titled UN-Presidented: Bored of Peace. Given there is no point in boring the reader with that which has been previously memorialized, and for referential purposes, I provide the following link for anyone foolish enough to be interested. https://rohnkenyatta.substack.com/p/un-presidented-bored-of-peace

A half-dozen years before I was born, Alfred Hitchcock wrote and directed a film called Vertigo. It was, and remains, a psychological thriller about an acrophobic former detective who becomes obsessed and descends into madness. One of the less known elements that made the film so compelling, aside from stellar content and concept, was a groundbreaking cinematic technique (specifically, camera) that became known as the “vertigo effect.” Acrophobia is a fear of heights.

Now, let us “get down.”

Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness that makes you feel like you or the room around you is spinning, tilting, or swaying even when you are perfectly still. Being a “native” (I’ll restrain myself) of Southern California in the “US,” I have experienced many an earthquake and vertigo subsequent to the initial seismic activity is a real and disorienting thing…if not dangerous. I lost a high school football team member as a result of vertigo after he dove into a swimming pool; but that, my dear, is a long and mostly irrelevant story given the task at hand.

Vertigo is not a disease itself but a symptom of an underlying issue, most often caused by problems in the inner ear or the brain's balance centers. The most common cause, known as BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), occurs when tiny calcium crystals in your inner ear become dislodged and send confusing signals to your brain about your body’s position. Because your brain thinks you are moving while your eyes and body say you are not, you may experience a sudden loss of balance, nausea, or vomiting. Luckily, I’ve an air-sickness bag at the ready.

Be still. Be real steel. I am likely a bit at sea here, but it appears that certain folks have outdone themselves. Nonetheless, chaos cannot exist without order; and order must follow chaos. The problem that some men have is that they fail to believe that human events, the way of the world, the natural order of things, has no clock. For what is time? Ask your neighbor or spouse what it is. Ask those in your personal orbit and marvel at the varied responses.

Chairman of The Bored

Donald “Smitty” Trump's Board of Peace is a newly concocted international body, chaired by Trump, designed to oversee reconstruction and governance in Gaza, transforming it from conflict to opportunity through private investment. For a small fee of $1 billion, you, too, can become a permanent member, though its structure ordains President Smitty as ultimate ruler. In a word, ‘tis another cheesy Trump trick to undermine the United Nations Security Council, which is the UN's primary body for maintaining international peace and security.

One of the prospective members for the council is none other than Russian President Vladimir Putin. Now, for the record, I have absolutely nothing against Mr. Putin. In fact I very much appreciate and admire the relationships that Russia has cultivated with Alkebulanian nations; past and present.

That notwithstanding, I cannot help but note the irony of his being a member of Smitty’s little piece of a peace charade, guaranteed to be a further disaster for Palestine, as war rages for a fourth year with Ukraine. Two days ago, Mr. Putin suggested that he might become a member if the “US” uses a billion dollars of seized Russian assets to pay the membership fee required. An exquisitely novel maneuver in addition to being amusing as hell. Vlad is mad…and clearly bored of peace.

Or he is, perhaps, the wittingly most powerful piece on a board where the king is really a pawn (a chess reference for the unlikely dullard reading this article).

The swirling geopolitical vertigo presented is enhanced by the fact that while NATO (the Nothing but Anglo Terrorist Organization) is wringing its hands with fears, real or imagined, that President Putin is about to roll across Europe in a Genghis Kahn invasion, it is “US” President Smitty that espouses an invasion of Greenland. A European country a lot further from the United States than Ukraine is from Russia.

In the meantime, President Smitty kidnaps the leader of a sovereign nation, tells the world he is going to “run” that sovereign nation, has bombed Syria, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Yemen, Somalia, fishing boats and ordered the armed seizure of oil tankers. All in the last 200 days. I am almost certain I have missed a few more of his murderous, draft dodging shenanigans. He, too, is bored of peace as well as being an embarrassing, cowardly, racist piece of orange excrement and I trust the reader will pardon my emotional outburst. Think of it as a rare treat, indeed.

Bored of Peace Part 2: Dolly Zoom

So, we have two presidents of two major militarized nations that are potentially king (and queen, FITFO) killing and murdering by the tens of thousands that are both pieces of the board and bored of peace. My failure to mention prospective members, also butchers, Tony Blair and Benjamin Nut-and-Yahoo is a tactical one. Besides with peacemakers like the aforementioned, what could possibly go wrong(er)? Be mindful that both the “US” and Russian flags are red, white and blue.

Heh, heh.
