Could not help but be slightly amused as I observed three major, and important international political players ,operate within the borders of these United States recently, as it was an art form in stagecraft in political com social maneuvers , as played out via distinctive cultures. The first in my line up was the act of symbolically flipping the bird to Uncle Obama by China’s President Hu Jintao, as both leaders went through their public, and not so private media posturing for the consumption of domestic and wider global audience , in efforts to as it were , indicate who has more ‘Cohones,’or none. The other showed why it's no mystery that some folks, and not others ,led the pack as the top millionaires , in post Communist USSR .
As I have indicated previously in another of my social commentaries , China today is the big economic enchilada on the grand stage, and the rest of the world is visibly impress from Africa to Latin America Middle East , and we’ll just throw in Moon, unknown life force, just for good measure,in the unlikely event that Commander Mark Kelly , Astronaut ,and or adoring husband of Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford, still decides to do the unthinkable , and leave her bedside to join his twin brother ,languishing somewhere in outer space, as planned before her shooting tragedy.
However I digress. So here on the one hand was tough talking pro human rights advocate Uncle Obama ,daring to play steely nose, hard ball , by scolding his guest President Hu Jintao about their atrocious Human Rights records .Note however, his precarious dilemma, in trying to play this game , with hands outstretched , begging for a shift in balance of trades fortunes, between an economically shell shocked Super Power still reeling from a depression , and that of economically savvy China with the Midas touch , but lacking much support from high end members of his own party, desperate Republicans, more keen to be political spoilers ,as many remained pissed at the fact that since the Arizona gun nut shootings of a Jewish fellow member of the House of Rep , the President’s numbers, has escalated profusely , in due measure because , uncontrollable political novice , Mama Grizzly Sarah Palin , continues to ‘shoot from the lip,‘ either to outsell GW Bush in the book department ,boost herAlaskan reality TV ratings about her dysfunctional family , or solidify that fast depleting base ,that is guaranteed to loose embarrassingly , in that upcoming 2012 Presidential electoral . Again I digress.
The Chinese President , simply smiled or perhaps more appropriately silently smirked , in that Confucian manner that was perfected so well by Chair Mao , and Den Xiaping, then told Nobel Winner Uncle O ,in not so subtle form ,where to get off his own hypocritical stage, and handle Pax Americana’s revolting unequal justice business instead , where Human Rights track record, as holder of the largest Prison Industrial Complex , Afro Genocidal empire stand’s supreme- thank you very much Mr Hypocrite in Chief.

He then pointed over his shoulder in the direction of Guantanamo Cuba ,where thousands of innocent civilians from unmentionable places across the globe , are kept like animals for the slaughter in trumped up charges , where it becomes difficult to accept their testimonies extracted after relentless vicious acts of water-boarding tortures , and similar unknown measures within the confines of friendly less law abiding enclaves - take your useless glorified Human Rights, globally accepted treaties and light bonfires to warm the hearts of your 2 million and counting homeless without a fine voice like Ted Williams , fugetdaboutit, here I come .

Compound that with the fact that America unlike most civilize industrial holds on dearly to her death penalty , under some distorted delusional notion that it somehow curbs crimes ,in a society where systematic racism exist across the length and breath of a corrupt , antiquated , and in most cases elitists judicial system . http://www.capitalpunishmentincontext.org/issues/race

Not sure if President congratulated the President on his fine speech to appease the nation that he was on top of his game when paying homage to shot Congresswoman Gifford in the State of Arizona that leads the nation as far as , for want of a new word in the lexicon of the Inglis lingo . Not sure what the score will eventually be at the end of the day , and how much concessions will be made , but we can expect the spin doctors, and partisan corporate media element to give us some idea , if they can spare the time from feeding us the usual escapist foolishness that passes as journalism , but that’s a different story for another occasion.
Let us now move across to another much media hyped event that has garnered attention since it involved one of many Afro American budding sport elites , playing one of my favorite games basketball. I am talking about a proposed trade from Denver of upcoming free agent Carmelo Anthony , to somewhere in the Tristate , possibly New York , or their small time , insignificant Garden State neighbor ,where one of the owners is a nuvo rich ,post Communist com Putin much favored Capitalist Russian billionaire, Mikhail Prokhorov , along with Hip Hop icon ,Jay Z , a serious player ,that moved from drugs to riches , without spending a second in jail , then only was able to snag the most sexually covered R&B singer in the history of America ,in bootilicious Beyonce- Good lord ,please explain how two guys can be so lucky in one swoop. http://www.venuing.com/voices/?p=3085 Again I digress.
Disgusted with the media frenzy and the distraction for his already loosing team , the Russian tycoon, did the impossible ,proving that like most Russians ,he learned to play the game of chess ,from the moment he left his mom’s womb ,was unable to speak a single word.
He publicly announced to the surprise of the Balling world, that New Jersey was no longer interested in pursuing confused , and greedy Carmelo, a Brooklyn native from coming to join his team , so as to play with players on the verge of retirement , and a prospective 20 people turning up to watch the unwatchable games in Brooklyn come 2012.
Your move Denver , or it will be Checkmate Russian style.
Once more two classic cases of new aged political and business operations that will obviously leave old school players scratching their collective heads in consternation as to how much the world has change , as new players are set to change not only the name of the game , but the way it is played , in the 21st century and beyond.
