The Absence of Wavelength

What’s Wrong

How should I feel if people impugn integrity, embellish, lie, slander and libel? I’ve had these things to consider since my early tutelage as reporter. I know fear when I see it, and it applies gossip, back channels, and nameless taunts and boasts, shuns as would a grade school bully.

Life is hypocritical, lies that it punishes bullies…yeah, if they’re schoolyard punks. Authority isn’t afraid of them, uses as example, but really does it to further empower itself. It is ruthless, causes “necessary casualties” in dominion. It is now pervasive in society. Just look at what our leadership has become. It invokes apathy to become complacent. It should bring about a rallying cry, for an unnecessary burden to be dealt with. It rules outside of democracy, applying itself through loopholes only it is allowed to command.

I’m observing society, concerned with the mental health of a nation in denial.

It’s dehumanizing and a falseness I see. No blaming should be on my end. I’m a journalist. This is my entry.

Fear points fingers. I’m not in it for me. I care what’s left behind, not shortcutting life.

A man has to live by a code. If that includes corruption and deceit, I’ll be behind the security tape.

I’ve witnessed it in my face, bullied and threatened by authority on the take, 30-plus years ago. It’s the most pathetic and alarming thing I’ve witnessed. I should be four biographies deep before hitting this berg. Guess why I don’t report, even anonymously. If you hear dishonesty in here, do you have unchecked bias?

Not to boast, I’ve witnessed boasting. It wants me to address it. If I do, I will not miss the mark ever again. I took down 12 people at the gym with two sentences the last time I was there. Whether boast or not, truth from even one person can silence. Line drawn.

Set semantics aside and see issues for what they are.
