Standing on Broadway and 53rd Street, in October 2002. What is going on? All these people are passing me , like a school of fish, and they are all bobbing their head to the right. They are strangers to each others, and yet, they are all telling me to go in "that" direction. I thought, this cannot be real, but yet it is. 

I thought of " Alice in Wonderland." 

I was covering my mouth because it was hanging opened in shock.

I thought of "The Wizard of Oz." I had no Toto, though, just a reference of storybook tales to keep me sane and logical...

The Royal Haggle of Pawns.

                                                 The Royal Haggle of Pawns

If the chessboard is setting up as; The British Empire vs. The Remnants of The Ottoman Empire, on which side shall the American Revolution pawns stand?  Where shall the Chinese Empire pawns stand?  The Greek Empire pawns?  The Remnants of the Roman Empire pawns?  The former Soviet Union pawns? Where shall they stand?

If one day four British pawns stand and sing "We all live in a Yellow Submarine", what are they really saying?  All pawns stand on a Yellow chessboard?
In chess pawns move to protect their King.

Chess is just a boardgame.

Reality says that General Motors moved to China and Detroit is rebuilding by the efforts of its citizens.  By its American Pawns.

America does not have a King, it has a Constitution.  If Americans were set up to protect the Constitution, how did Americans end up singing "We all live in a Yellow Submarine" ?

NAFTA.

Zimmerman is the Mainstream Media's baby and Obama is a pawn

      We are the viewers.  We are the consumers.  We are the American citizens who are bombarded with news that, as in the Treyvon Martin- George Zimmerman story,  emotionally manipulate the masses.

This Monday morning I turned on NBC for news and over 5 minutes were spent on "Kate is currently in Labor."  I flip the channel to CBS which is still reporting on George Zimmerman.

George Zimmerman must be happy that Kate is laboring in the hospital, taking attention away from him being or not being a racist.

President Obama identified with a hoodie wearing teenager Trayvon Martin, in saying, he remembers people locking their cars when they saw him approaching.  Was this really necessary of President Obama to join the Zimmerman-Martin Media Circus and remind Americans the empathy he has for black people in society? Or, maybe, he remembers his College pot smoking, hang out days with sympathy for himself?

"Today Show" covered a couple of stories after the opening Kate story this morning, but, as I write, Today Show returned to reporting on the Royal Family and Kate for a few more minutes.  This is celebrity news at its highest order. 

George Zimmerman is thankful to Kate.  Trayvon's mother is wishing the media coverage of the shooting never ends. While Benghazi has disappeared off the news, President Obama is waiting for direction.
