WOMAN! HEAR ME RUN. I MEAN ROAR.

Oh girl!

or

You go girl?

VOTE YOUR SEX OR DIE?

Today it made the news. On a cable news show, a female reporter mentioned that she was told that the women coming out for Obama can expect to not be supported by womens groups next time they need it. The reporter said she said, or wondered to herself; Really? Is that really true?

It is a stunning question. One that in a way goes to the very heart of democracy and prejudice.

Anyone who votes their personal hereditary bias, instead of qualifications, or vision, or ability to inspire, or who seems to know how the world works rightly from wrongly, anyone who decides by personal identity bias instead, is a fool at best.

I cannot imagine as a man, only voting for men because they are like me, and women some kind of mystery beyond understanding. Men are responsible for most of the destruction and misery on earth on a large scale.

Having said that; I am not a fool to vote for the first most viable woman to come along, especially when she may seem a bit like the Jekyll and Hyde conservatives in her tactics. Margaret Thatcher was not an automatic improvement. But to then try to blackmail others if they do not support your bias, no matter what kind it is, is anti-democratic to the very root. That is democratic as in Democracy.

ANYTHING GOES IN LOVE AND WAR AND, YEAH, I FORGOT, POLITICS

The form of bias bribery, by force of support, may seem legitimate to manipulators trying to rig the system to their own interest, but it is a dominator paradigm just the same. Diving the nation by type casting may seem appealing to those who have felt themselves disenfranchised, but to do that by the means of manipulation is an overt deception.

Do we recognize the historical situation we are in? Are we seeking the best for all the people in our decisions, or just my cause? If it is the latter, I expect democracy to continue to atrophy until it is a mere figment of history.

VIOLENCE AND SELF CONTROL

Being involved with family violence control puts me in an odd situation.

I have avoided physical fighting my whole life. Childhood became the most significant influence on this. My father had told me, and I took it as holy law, that you as a guy, do not strike women. I cannot say that my older sisters and I did not have shoving matches, but for me that would have been self defense. Our family dynamics was heavy on the mental sparing which can seem actually more devastating.

The physical violence in our house was later done, after my mothers death, by a step mother-guardian. She would not hesitate to hit, throw objects and threaten with knives. She sent my father to the hospital with a big gash across his forehead. I slept with the largest kitchen knife under my pillow as a self defense plan for a knife attack while I was asleep. She had hit me in the face while I was asleep, then locked me out in the snow in my pajamas. My father committed suicide not long after that.

Earlier I had incidences when someone seemed to be threatening my life as a freshman high school. I was literally about 100 lbs. and someone morbidly obese around 500 lbs, held me under water to near drowning during pool time in a crowded pool. He had done this more than once. It became so serious to me (swallowing-inhaling watter) that I thought I would have to take matters into my own hands. One more time, and I was going to put him in a headlock with my legs around his neck and hold him under until it meant something. I was a totally inhibited kid and did not trust authority to do anything but blame the victim. So I had to weigh in my mind, possibly causing someones death and being called and treated as a murderer.

As it turned out, he never did that again. But I was sure it would have been me to blame and I would have felt I had no options in my own self defense. No one seemed to notice him doing this during the pool commotion, so I believed no one would accept my story. It just never came through to experience. In physical confrontations during boyhood, I found I had to keep the potential for rage out of me, especially since I had no doubt that I would take down someone twice my size. It took someone quite a bit larger and older to overcome me. I was afraid of my rage and how if unleashed it would seem out of my control.

(As evidence that I am not just delusional about this strength proclamation. When it rained a lot during physical education, outdoor activities were called off and we were put into the gym, we freshmen and the sophomores, to have a thing called “bombardment”. This is where there are two sides chosen, a line across the middle of the gym, where the two sides throw rubber balls a little smaller than a soccer ball at each other. Out of about 150 students divided in two, little me was one of the last picked, last or second to last.

Well the first game I discovered that being in the lower 10% in size had me a bit afraid, so I hung back as many did. All it took was the guy next to you ducking and a ball out of nowhere taking you out, while leaving a big red mark somewhere. I decided to risk all and take it to the line next game.

You could see most of what was being thrown up front. I found out I could catch any-ones ball thrown at me, but no-one could hold onto mine. I was also very accurate. I won that game. The last guy standing. I was picked second of all players next game. The team first picking, picked his seeming best friend first, so I was first on the other team picked. The next game was the last. It oddly ended up being me the last standing on my team, and a very out of shape guy hiding and dodging in the corner on the other side when the period ran out. I could no longer throw fast enough to eliminate time for him to move. That is how little old me was as a skinny five feet two.)

TRUTH VS ADVICE

What I just said I cannot say to someone involved in family violence. As far as physical violence goes, I do not hit women. I have told ones who gave me any actual physical provocation that, “If you do that again, we are over!” I do not tolerate fighting, especially in the home relationships. I try to avoid physical confrontations with anyone. Now that I am a “senior citizen” I find you are not seen as a threat overall, or there is a kind of automatic respect. Most of that sense of being on guard is much diminished now. I take peace as my way and it path is most often open.

I have found that emotional abuse has prove a bit more difficult to not take part in, compared to a sense of law that one just never does such a thing. I grew up that way, making fun of someones mistake or being ridiculed. It is then a model of behavior I have had to contain and reverse. To do that requires a will and an understanding of the Golden Rule or Categorical Imperative. I need to establish the sense that not only does “what goes around comes around.”, but it is already damaging my life. Abusing others in any way is profoundly self abuse.

I need to see (learn to recognize) when I am treating another like I would not wish to be treated, and immediately review what my self respect or control problem really is. We are often given the information from another that we are on some kind of attack and they becoming defensive, or initiating their own retaliations.

Still, when expressing guidance to someone, it will often fall flat if it is preached or describes as something I am so above, and can’t understand how someone could do such a thing. That fits as a key with very few dysfunctional programs. I have to speak out of and through my own life, the love in your heart has to be in it, to be a gift expected to have a chance at being received.

PROGRESSIVE OR REACTIONARY

In some ways I have described political tactics and ways of manipulation. All manipulation is in some way an abuse of the truth. Its vibrational disturbance will not go unnoticed, except perhaps, by like minded dysfunction. The same situations and rationalizations that come to effect home life are used in the greater life of our world. Even if everyone does it, doesn’t make it right.

We will find manipulative arguments covered if various guises meant to hide their intention, and instead, be represented as your own interest. Fear and insecurity are great hiding places for manipulative interest. Optimistic vision can also be used as a trick to catch someones interest, then later prove to have been a ruse. We need to be both critically minded on the one hand, and have our heart held out open in the other. True adults can do this.

The upcoming election seems to be being based on fear and insecurity vs. hope and optimism, both of these being held as paramount in differing ways by the candidates. I am not saying that we are not justified in having these inclinations. What I am encouraging is the “true believers” and the doubtful to have their wits about them. As citizens and voters, it is up to us to determine the fact from fiction, the hidden agendas from the promises of safety and security. For power will seek to inject its corruptions into all areas of life if let be.

We each are freedom, love, and truths best and last hopes. Better to stand with understanding under their tall light, than the ignorance that festers in the shadows of misunderstanding.

BIG BAD POST ON FICTIONAL CRITIQUE OF CONSERVATISM

IN RESPONSE TO CONSERVATISM’S CONSTANT DESIGNING OF THE FACTS TO SUIT STATUS HIERARCHIES AND SKEWED BELIEF SYSTEM IDENTITIES, AND ITS CONCERTED OPPROBRIUM TOWARDS ANYTHING LIBERAL, COMES…

(And to follow the beginnings of the book, two shorter middle sections before second half, which is not posted.)

INTRODUCTION

On September 11, 2001, I decided I must write something from my life experiences to expose the hypocrisy and double standards of conservatism. I was flooded with the ‘get to it’ impulse, get to setting the record straight to a planet in denial. The actions of yet another reactionary group slaughtering unsuspecting innocent people was the final straw for a simmering desire I had long been nurturing. I had been by the Trade Center 8 days before, and my best friend the day before. I knew people who walked home from midtown in the dust and ash of lives vanished, martyred for conservative certainties of another belief system.

In my own country, the United States of America, I had experienced the choke-hold conservatism has had on my own life, and seen its effects on others. On top of that, for a long time now, hearing the endless excuses for reactionary behavior masquerading as patriotism, or spiritual conviction, when in fact it was the excuse for escape from our collective realities and responsibilities that necessitate compassion and understanding, made my spirit insist enough was enough.

From my first grade parochial school class of 63 students in one room; to the Vietnam war draft where democracy and freedom were nonexistent to the draftee; to the social neglect of not having parents, with not family, community nor state providing any guidance; to living with chronic tooth pain and social withdrawal; to the work world experience of social-economic inequality; to the mine fields of the “battle of the sexes”; to the retrogression of the fourth estate into a childish form of ‘presented’ information on training wheels guided by manipulative interest; to the promise that I was told the United States stood for and fought for.

The real truth of that elevated promise was obviously broken, broken and made into a big hollow wooden horse pushed through the gates of that American once authentic Spirit, to instead further opportunistic advantage. A Trojan Horse packed to the rafters with predators. Predators who see a certain advantage to themselves in perpetuation conservatism’s conformist ideologies, that allow them to seem human, but others to seem less, and so deserve treatment as such.

THE RISE OF THE FALL

The noisy American conservatives, the ad hominem conservatives, had grown more bold since rebounding from Mc Carthyist shame. It is as if there was enough decency and critical thinking ability still around at that time, to regain the political landscape from the fear mongers, to a least stand up for the promise of a free and diverse America.

But that venom simmered, fermenting in the moist caverns of conservative ideologies, came out of its perfect circular reasoning hole to stalk the land, a serpent looking for new plots to meander in. It found the slippery silk spun world of “wedge issues” to bind individual identities to political interest, numbing the followers to the actual machinations of those interest. Things like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, for one example) under these conservatives would have the wolves guarding the hen-house; the polluting interest having oversight over; pollution!

As an open minded person, willing to allow the benefit of doubt in argument to shatter my own beliefs in order to live by a higher order of truth, the right wing ranting and raving always seemed obviously sinister, but stupid in its blindness and conceit. Yet in its inbred philosophy, laughable and perhaps worse yet; understandable in prideful arrogance and hubris. When those fanatics put on the suit and ties of church and state, then go about remaking those structures of society and state into their own image, the comedy show is over.

This method of denial applies at times to the left wing as well. Aspects of the so called left, can have no sympathy or understanding for the insecurities that drive the wealthy and powerful to strangle themselves along with the culture. Ignorance is the breeding ground of hate and illusion. These deceptions of reactive point of view can fester, leading to gangrene of the heart, when ones own spirit is cut off from the Whole of Life.

WHEN 19 LOSERS DECIDE AMERICAS PATH

It was what it was; it was simple emotional poisoning, it was not objectively questioning, it was shaming and damning the other sides with the false purity of absolutes. At what horrible cost to humankind had the poison of ideologies drugged their users into blindness of spirit? Actually killing innocent people to proclaim the power over an others symbols, conceived in the attackers convoluted perception as a noble deed. Conservatism offered fighting hate with hate, a recipe for one thing to perpetuate–hate.

It is this reactionary view called conservatism, that puts insecurity safely at the center of ones heart. Hence the external test of apparent bent over “loyalty”; flags, pledges, prayer demonstrations, parades of conformist no thinking required buzz words and symbols, all meant to assuage the fear of otherness. That core of now self imposed darkness that nest in the conservatives superior delusions of idea based self grandeur.

These delusions forbid questions, especially of context, they refuse introspection as to responsibilities of the conservatives own actions. Precisely why they are always wishing or whining about everyone who thinks differently, not holding up their side of a Faustian bargain with ignorance. Facts are often the conservatives worst nightmare. Ideologies build the walls to keep input of differing perspective, or even grievance, out of the conservatives sense of self responsibility, including liberals whose own beliefs have atrophied into stone coldness.

During the Clinton administration, you could observe the ad hominem machinery of hate and loathing gaining more respect through control of media access and repetition. The 2000 election represented the overthrow of that promise of what America had stood for, the exception becoming, that that freedom was stolen to elite’s who use their advantage over the many, binding to their privilege, the “We the People”. Media consolidation is a noose around democracies neck, slid over it by corporatist seeking domination.

FREEDOM IS ABOUT THE TRUTH!

In this one most important sense of a true democracy, the Will of the People, I did not care who won that election in 2000, only that they had won fair and square. I was outraged when Dems. even suggested restricting overseas military voting for some suspicion, only to find much later, the Repubs. did restrict the newly enlisted and possibly more liberal votes from the same source they were raising hell about over the Dems. On that fact, “We the People”, our nation and heritage, was blatantly betrayed. But what could one person do when the institutions set up to defend our rights had gone AWOL, inebriate with the same anesthesia polluting the body politic? Our fate now in the possession of institutions both corrupt and afraid in the land of the free and home of the brave.

There was also the sense that We the People were running out of time to continue that endeavor to “form a more perfect union”. George Orwell’s 1984 was seeming to manifest its characteristics through many conservative channels. Words and concepts being construed to mean their polar opposite, their anti-spirit. The entertainment news channels had been declaring America had shifted surely to the right, and other so called “MSM” (the “wise” conservatives illusionary liberal Main Stream Media) assumed the same, beginning to find and load the tables with status quo conservative pundit sycophants and “patriotic” jingoist. While basic poll data of citizen values were quite solidly liberal by definition. The grand liberal messages of the Bible, the US Constitution and Bill of Rights were being so conditionalized by language, truncated to serve various power interest in our society, that these promises to all were being denied by the few, as they seemingly have the resources to endlessly try to convince us otherwise through a Russian Roulette of propagandized definition.

On that September 11th day, my life became the basic source material for this reply. Not driven by insights from some book or ideological conviction, but mainly the experience of my own life; how an individual is manipulated by institutions, situational emotional declarations of truth without proof, and other “authorities” in life.

Whether those steering with their directive intentions were for good or ill, in effect, became of paramount importance. The old existential position of apathy; “It’s all the same, nothing changes, and so it doesn’t matter what I do.”, was put to shame by the power of one individual (or tiny group) to be hero or villain to the entire world. Ideas themselves, become the messengers of bias, a bias often not accepted or acknowledged by the one holding that slanted premise as fact. The public seems purposely left adrift on a life raft on a sea of abstractions, becoming dependent on the ship that comes up and throws down the ladder. It seeming to have good food on board according to the words over the nutrients.

RIGHT FROM LIFE

The results of my personal inquiry were to speak for themselves through one individuals lens. All that any of us ultimately have to determine what our authentic nature actually is, as contrasted to the entire world who will tell you their own opinion of who or what you are. Those opinions are to be used as a type of check and balance to ones own perspective, helping the individual to determine the reality of the apparent effects of their presence in the world. We experience that truth by honing our own lens with critical thinking applied not only to the outer world of apparent external influence, but also the inner world of ones own beliefs and judgment. One is only able to see clearly through this crystal ball when that prism is seen for what it is. This is an ongoing commission I have received from my life’s story.

From the viewpoint of my own life, status quo power interest have a constant and overwhelming advantage in the modern world to bind the individual to their interest, making the powerful interest appear as the individuals own (dependency-addiction). To counteract the relentless demonization of liberal open-mindedness and tolerance for difference, a complete table turning was in order. As I set up to expose reactionary concepts and self imagery, it became shockingly clear how simple it was to put the shoe on the other foot. The story to follow is that exploration into the world of contradiction between liberal and conservative philosophical parameters. The consequences of their effects pertain to all existence in ones experience of consciousness; to love and hate, to life and death, to an honest life.

(Introducing)

A Prospect for a New American Cosmology

A scenario employing the lexicon of ‘right wing’ circular logic thought matrices extrapolated to a conclusion.

1

LET THE EVENING BEGIN

We were shown to our seats as if at some play. After a few minutes the lights went out. There we were in the dark, waiting on what?

Footsteps are heard quickly coming down the aisle. How could that be in this blackness? Someone must be wearing infrared eye wear. Can’t make out those words, but it seems somebody is being removed from the auditorium. Wow! That was an unsettling experience for one sitting here in the null and void.

I had received an e-mail, a letter and a phone call to confirm my attendance at this alleged unprecedented event, said to be a historical rendering of the current situation in America and the world. I suddenly wondered what I had really gotten myself into.

You could make out something appearing on stage to the back. Colors, familiar and swishing, its the American flag, becoming bright and beautiful, it fades out a bit, and then our presidents face appears smiling in front of the flag. Less than 30 seconds later appears his wife, slightly behind him, smiling the same.

The closed news conference was a bizarre setting. A few dozen of us reporters, sat up front beneath a podium, in an otherwise dark, cavernous hall. A huge monitor stretched from wall to wall above us to the back of the stage, beaming the president and first ladies smiling faces, lending a peaceful air. As if in living glory, a diaphanous US flag waved ethereal goodness in the mist around them.

The Vice President came smiling to the front stage podium to forward this announcement;

“A Bright Star has risen over America, an Angel to guide our nation through these confusing and troubled times.”

Then he presaged; “Any comments about a fallen angel or thought control will be met with the image of me leaving the church smiling on Sunday morning, denouncing those speculations as the ‘crackpot fringe.’

Remember, it is the image that counts, that speaks a thousand words into the heart of the viewer. That image will rule the day. By our direction, with our spin, our web will tie up those who disagree with us. “Bias is believed to be extrinsic to the beliefs of its originator. Emotional judgment seems to be true. There is MY wedge into humankind.”, according to our Angel. Believe me, We are in charge of manipulation. Trouble us to you peril, is my friendly advice.

Life is about opportunity; opportunism, survival of the fittest, the rest is of little consequence. Our Angel says Darwin was right, it’s all about survival. Warfare, competitive sports, all competition seeking dominance, is the American Way, the way of the winner.

The meek? Well, they are failures in every respect, comfortable with being unwanted children of the welfare state. They do, and will inherit nothing but the serfdom they have coming to them. Their G– be damned! And as you will come to see, the vast majority of the American people will support us on this proposition; to do whatever it takes to restore peace and prosperity to our nation. Only enemies of the United States would wish otherwise.”

THE RNS (Real News Service)
@1492 Zulu time

“You all have been invited here to be given an opportunity to get on track with the future, which any responsible journalist should welcome.” Said our newest Secretary for Homebase Security, Joe Ridgedland.

“Tonight is an evening of clarification, a night of coming clean to you who would chose to observe and report on our doings. You will be let in on our little secrets, and for that honor, you will be required to keep your opinions to yourself. We will be defining what our national interest are, and what is required of each individual to fulfill the intention of those commissions.

To that end, we are letting you know that you are not above those interest. You do not live in some perpetually privileged state where we will allow you to undermine our determination to overcome any and all adversaries. You will be held accountable for violating this trust we must expect from you. We have the will and the ability to have your life and carrier go down hill, as if by magic, if you work to undermine our desires. Think about it folks. Your spouse, your children, your life, it will all begin to unravel with your sinking spirit. This is your future, should you decide to work against us. You can take that to the bank!

We are not like some countries that can be intimidated any longer to vote for the wrong people. Americans are too wise to be manipulated by terrorist no matter who they are! You know that is true.”, said Ridgedland.

“Some people will stop at nothing to attempt to weave a blanket of fabrication, allegation and innuendo around this administration, but America will not be intimidated. We will do whatever it takes to stop biased, undermining comments, and their evil intent, from ever seeing the light of day. To criticize us is to criticize our war on terror, that is unacceptable. The American people are with us on this.” He said.

2
Now for the rest of the lesson we were given.

Pointing to the fact that studies have shown that approximately 70% of any given population will support authority figures under fearful times of stress, the Secretary professed;

“The American people want us to do what it takes to protect them. It is a survival thing! Think of the implications of that commission. You can see clearly how fear and stress work in our favor, we can do anything in fears name, while our leaders remain, by fearful good will, mistake free. Doing something is what counts, no matter how wise or ill conceived. Fear gives us this immunity from critique under the umbrella of “what it takes”. It is the penultimate straw. You have to trust us.

We are given a blank check all thanks to this fear. If what it takes requires stopping free elections, it will be done, was done. If what it takes requires suspension of the free press, it will be done. If what it takes requires stopping critical thinking, it will be done, or freedom of speech, it will be squashed on earth as it is in heaven. Anyway, we really do not have those things you know, since they are relative in fundamental ways to income level, well, except to a certain degree thinking. And May I repeat, the American people are with me on this.

We have carte blanche for our crusade on terror. Are you still with me? If we need our people to believe one person is another, no problem, that is patriotism! 70% are set up psychologically to go along with the direction of deception. You must follow your leader anywhere, no matter what. It is an axiom of status. It’s beautiful! The truth is what we say it is, due to the leverage of fear. Go against that word of ours and what you do is go against your God and country, as defined by those who have access. Can you see the opportunity this situation opens up for us? Do you think in your wildest dreams we would let it slip by?

We are redefining exactly Who God is in the philosophical underpinnings of our nation. Through the reconfiguration of belief system tenets, we are redesigning the world into the image of our desires. We do this for American supremacy. History has shown us that the trust and insecurity issues around the belief in God are the single most powerful motivation for individuals to do things against their nature. Symbols are magically powerful control mechanisms! They become a question of ones honor, and that is powerful! By rectifying the operational concept of God, we create an opening in the public for the acceptance of once unacceptable spiritual implications.

We have associated the idea of God with a new, more broad-based revanchist definition suitable to a clash of cultures all under fears guidance and control. We are on a crusade to get back our culture form the liberals and their God, after we convince the public they have had it taken away by those influences, but the God we will re-conceive more delicately, as to not startle the nation. We are blessed with opportunism to achieve this designer democracy that gives us power over the people. Believe me. It is relatively simple, thanks to fear, to keep a carrot dangled in front of our hungry conservative followers.

This opportunity is one we cannot afford to pass by, now that the means to our ends is so close to fruition. The new battle field is over the soul, and in this endeavor we will not fail, our way of life depends on it. And so, metaphorically speaking, whatever it takes to apprehend or in any way cease and desist this Old God character will be done. We have the right of imperium. We cannot have Him, or It, or whatever It is threatening our national interest. Remember, it is that Old God who threatens people out of the blue with vicious, heinous terror tactics. He will unmercifully kill you in the end! America stands for democracy and freedom and unbridled opportunity, God does not. God runs a universal dictatorship which is incompatible with our democratic, Christian freedom loving values. For this reason we are now aligned with our Angel Lucifer, a real Ally who shares more of our American values and way of life, the ways of success.”

(and then the book takes off. So to speak.)

CULTURAL WARFARE

OPEN HUNTING SEASON; CULTURAL WARFARE

The line in the sand has been drawn. It crosses the Potomac, the 49th parallel, stretching from sea to shining sea. Between the two great oceans is the even greater divide; the cultural grand canyon.

Or so some would have you and I believe, we must be red or blue with no white in-between. But how has this nation of “We the People” become the nation of us against them?

Some might say the south has finally won the civil war, the war of succession, and we are now witnessing the wedged-off amputations of the one nation, the one government, in favor of feudal warlord domains. Still others see new aristocracies overcoming democracy with policies favoring inevitable global corporate hegemony. Where we begin to sculpt our lives with product or thing associations. What is more important to us is what brand of car we own, our brand of watch, brand of God, oven, or income level that allows the upgrades to occur.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news to the cultural war mongers during this campaign season, but in most respects, them is us. The conservative tendency to suppress humanity so others can be treated totally like we would not ever wish ourselves to be treated, is a tendency we must all interact with within ourselves. And the liberal tendency to want all faults to be forgiven that can be traced, by understanding, to the force of outside cause, is a generous tendency we may tend to give mostly to ourselves and perhaps not extend to others, especially acting conservatives.

If, as I contend, this great cultural divide actually is in the deepest most honest sense of individual truth, stretching our one foot on the red and the other on the blue, the cultural war that is festering across the nation is a false front designed to tear the individual into halves, deconstructing the noble self, the self of our better angels, into an angry and arrogant self lost from fuller comprehension of itself, searching aimlessly in the mirrored ideology of identity attachments, blaming the “other side” for perhaps subconsciously holding the missing self hostage.

Crazy huh?

I have lost count of the unaccountability of self professed conservatives being found out as being pedophiles, predators and or misleaders of some nature. I have lost count of the number of liberals who seem to have no particular guide as to what they believe in except that they know conservatives to be wrong, or enjoy some unbridled liberties.

But basically, both of my pigeonholed concepts of liberal and conservative are incomplete, for every human being applies both tendencies daily to live their lives. It is the nature of the polarizer that must be examined; why do some surely wish to divide up the “We the People” in the national collective mindset? Who is pursuing this divide and conquer strategy and to what ends? I will leave that speculation for now, since it would easily delve into areas of belief where facts themselves have been rendered questionable to anyone’s interpretation. When I am kept unknowing of something, how can I truthfully asses its effects, or even its existence necessarily?

OF THE BETTER HALF’S

Of this speculation, I am quite confident of its existence, though the details may be completely of a differing narrative of individuals, times and place.

Today, somewhere, there will be a child who gives thanks that their parent took them aside and showed they cared enough to lay down trustworthy directions to live by. Finally, finally! It will seem as if someone surely does intend the best for them by being a guide to the ways of life they are blinded to by youth and inexperience.

In another place an infant will have their emotional umbilical cord cut. Parents will allow the child to discover their own self regulation by weaning them from repetitive loop reinforced insecurity, proving they have a safe place to begin to satisfy their own needs. From this position of respect for the parents own emotional well being, the nights of a baby crying will stop, the raw nerves of the parents will be soothed, their relationship repaired. Now the infant, unable to speak, will wake in the night, reach out to pull the covers back on, succeeding at something she was not allowed to know she could accomplish before except by complaining. Even infants can learn what they can do when allowed to in a protective and supportive way.

And then in another place, an old conservative white guy will have an accident in the wrong neighborhood on an icy night. What looks like a thug will run over to the car, pull him and his granddaughter away from the car. Remove his own coat to cover the child, and call 9-11 on the cell phone.

The befuddled white man will be blind sided, (by his new-found other half) dropping to his knees. His own shame will be consumed before himself. His eyes will light up with fire and water, his heart seeming to grow a new, or is that a missing chamber? He will wonder in the falling snow, what else has he been wrong about? What other assumptions of mass misunderstandings does he hold as truth, that this once assumed looser is now a saving angel of grace? Suddenly the whole world seems new and beautiful to him, especially that stranger who now seems a most vital part of him.

These things will also occur in their quite places, away from the limelight. They will not be discussed on ideological talk-news propaganda shows filled with their crosses and spikes and crowns of thorns. Yet every moment this season, in the seemingly random chaos of kindness, a higher order of union will come to be.

44″They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45″He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

THE END IS NEAR! THE THEORIES ARE FALLING! PICK YOUR FACTS!

I read a post concerning a very old theory of the lifespan of democracy. It describes stages of the eventual fall of democracies over a two hundred year span on average. It is linked down this page.

This was offered with no apparent answers, except a harangue over illegal immigration, and presumably, some kind of wake up call to arms. I expect some of that immigration is helping the profit bottom lines of many of those assumed to be the holier ones in the democratic cultures scenario as presented in the second list.

It goes on to list many sometimes irrelevant facts to create the impression that dependence on the government till, by unworthy types, spells doom for a culture. That may be true, but who you think is benefiting from the government; such as the military/industrial/congressional/corporate complex, is not on the apparent radar.

Instead, vast generalizations are offered that are open to argument over who meets which of the old theory’s stage progressions downward, and in what way. Get your eraser (NOT)!, cause it will not be mentioned. Nor is there a mention of corporate world hegemony growing ever more influential, to the extent that voting itself in many of the worlds democracies begins to seem futile to alter any direction a nations seems headed, except for inward nationalism or religious orthodoxy.

OF BOTTOM LINES AND TOWED ALONG BELIEFS

This now world wide competition, and at times collusion, of special wealth privilege and or religious interest, and their special influence over democracy; such as setting intellectual agendas and viability’s of ideas open for change, not a note. Not one iota of a hint that these forces, these now extra national forces, are themselves contouring democracy to suit their needs.

To read the spin of selected facts, some curious, and most open to interpretation by the philosophy you prefer, has a near panic atmosphere, generated by the stretched logic needed to construe a predictions fulfilment in print. (The sky may be falling, but there is a difference between rain and a cometary impact.) Odd things, like the number of states and land area won by Bush and Gore in 2000. As if land itself is voting.

Remember, in the whole presentation, it is never mentioned that Gore won the popular vote. That voters were selectively targeted to extinguish their chance of having a vote. Nor is it mentioned that the government under Bush is racking up a phenomenal government bill that we all must pay one way or the other. The war industry if profiting mightily, though at our expense. One way we will pay, may well be democracies collapse. Bias is best hidden right under ones own nose.

NO! THE OTHER WELFARE STATE SCAPEGOAT

How the poor are left in a poor state educationally and locationally, and most importantly, ignored in their psychological needs in regards to the country, is not there. The resulting existential plague of who is more worthy than who as human beings, is a good study in hidden bias as a revelation of cherry picked facts meant to fit a theory. (WE have been there as a nation. Still doing that.) Some of the assumed more glorious phases of our democracy did not allow women and Blacks to vote, even allowed for the old fashioned form of slavery. Abstractions can be a handy place to keep just what I like.

That the poor are, now as ever, a necessary scapegoat and recruiting pool for undesirable and underpaid work to benefit the few, is of course missing in action. These are my points of view pertaining to what was left out of the two specious, yet easily manipulative list.

That said; here is the post of loaded and slanted philosophical notions about who is a deserving citizen.

I better give you that post; Fwd: This is an eye opener

Eye opener indeed.

If that opened my eyes to its world view, might have well put the coins back over them. Otherwise, while I am alive, you can wake me up when honest to goodness human truth is being presented, and not cognitive dissonance embedded in reaction to insecurity proped up fear.

We are not apathetic as a nation, because we are fat and weak from the government tax and spend till. Apathy is more likely the byproduct of those who see their votes repeatedly add up to nothing, even when they win.

COUNT ME IN?

Now we do not now know if our votes are even counted anymore. Not with the absolute certainty at least approachable with a paper trail. I do not know how well a democracy can survive when one party just tried to gain permanence, let alone that money determines much of any candidates exposure in the long run. What of our candidates actual “right” to lie? “I implore you not to look behind the curtain! I am the great and powerful, decider?”

Power interest is as power interest does. Wake up and smell the reality of who controls information and why we are so uniformed of our countries (actually special interest) actions in the world. Until we are shocked out of complacency by the blow-back of that ignorance of the world, and fall into another reactive cycles quagmire.

I do not need theories and questionable list to vote. I need the honest truth!

THOSE WHO HIDE BEHIND HATE AS GOOD

It is usually called patriotism.

It can be flag waving, lots of flags everywhere, Nazis and communist do that too. It is usually some test of abstraction to determine in the abstract, if you are for those promoting the abstraction from their own angle, or against it. To be against it equals something akin to being a traitor, seditious, or ungrateful to the place where that abstraction abides in the testers mind and intentions. But is implied to pertain to everyone as such! You then become the target of loathing and a parade of persecution, if it can be taken (manipulated, construed) that you implied differently.

PERSECUTION AS PRIDE

It happened to the Jews is Nazi Germany. A cult takes over, puts up its test, then targets those unwilling or unable to pass (nose size?), for the test was meant to rid the nation of those who look or think differently.

It is alleged that Jesus Christ faced this same scrutiny from status quo conservative interest at the time called the scribes and Pharisees. They questioned him in his allegiance to their own sides cause, as if that were the only cause of confirmed truth. Why did He hang around with the unwashed poor, the sinners and outcast of society? Why is it that He finds value there and not with the distinguished citizens and interest of the status quo’s conceptually pinned down paradigm? In the end; So you think you are a king? Well we agree. Here is your bloody crown then. The dominator sycophants cheer.

STATUS QUO AND THE CONTROL OF PUBLIC THROUGH SYMBOL

Terror and mystification are routinely applied across history, for entitled minority interest to control the whole of the public. It may be hidden behind law, it is the safest place to hide deceptions, there and in religio-spiritual interpretation, that leaves the target audience, fearful and contained in a dominator paradigm.

Conservative interest usually are the originator of these test, but any totalitarian interest would promulgate them into the culture. I’m sure that men who wanted women to vote were considered, effeminate or emasculated. Whites who stood up for blacks as equals under God and the Nations founding intention where considered enemies of their own people by, yep, conservative interest. We now have money as symbolic power of the beholders, and religio-spiritual charlatans, also usually very wealthy in the background. Placing both corporate interest and church interest against the will of the many, by assuming they have the right to control and manipulate the population, because money and position allows them to.

Some conservatives of the Constitution, The Bill of Rights and even the Bible, actually stood up for the rights of Blacks and Woman as human beings, deserving the same treatment under the law. These would have been called names such as “blank” lovers. Plus much else of the vile and vitriol that these kinds of demonizers spend so much of their consciousness in, for their own self punitive reasons.

WHEN SYMBOLS ARE USED AS SWORDS

Watering down the abstract conceptual purity of a status quo, or otherwise oligarchies interest, produces in them defensive fear. In that sense then, only what is good for them is to be held good by you. An abstraction, a symbol, then can stand in as your sub-servitude to a dominator’s point of view. The “brown noses” must then scurry out to test the population.

Now you are in the intended place; subjected to propaganda disguised as emotionalized fact, and guided by implied fear and terror into conforming to the elites interest mindset. The implied high minded and holier than thou symbol, now used as a club, on freedom, self responsibility, and full expression of the self into life. Life as it is in its wholeness of reality, had potentiated in you. A subjective interest now can masquerade as the interest of all. The followers are in the objective sense, slaves to both fear and terror. Loyal and patriotic pawns of special interest.

FREEDOM AND RESPONSIBILITY IN WHOSE DEFINITION?

The attacks on the very nature of freedom and responsibility often spew from the mouths who claim to represent just those things. Cults who attempt to control consensus reality and personal identity of all, need to see themselves differently from the whole, yet hold that whole of society up to their myopic standard. Here is where the test of some symbol often is used as a wedge to use fear as the threat to conform or else. We are seeing these test show up from the right wing as they usually do at election times.

Usually flag burning, or the pledge of allegiance, come around as a fake test of patriotism. Once, not so long ago, it was long hair and bell-bottom pants. They are used as wedge against alleged liberal indifference or antagonism towards the notion the conservatives hold as abstractly sacred, but reality check impaired!

BLOG SITE BITES

I have read post on this site host, where not wearing a pin, or not putting your hand over your heart, shows you are in essence, one of the enemy, or minimally a bad guy or gal at heart. What a pile of deception.

Firstly, knowing politics, I would trust a photo as being taken out of context, just as many words are used. But even more importantly, where was it ever said that you were to act like a robot to be certified perfect? The pledge of allegiance was originally written, not so long ago historically, by a socialist. I can understand at that time the Utopian dream that suddenly, all would fall into line into a beautiful society of equals who’s symbol would be used as a collective hammer to mold the group into a loving cohesive whole. A whole of act a-likes, unable and afraid to stand out. Cowering in a bonding psyche stranglehold of a mass action, afraid to stand up for their own allegiance to truth and God and nation!

That kind of leftist Utopian conservatism was a made to order weapon on the right. Adjust a word, later, throw in God, and now everyone acting alike would be alike. (conservatives primarily separation motivated delusion) It is peer pressure and threat of ostracism of the non conformist, (ancient tactics of shame) codified in the song, the salute, the seig heil, the flag, whatever the symbol of conformity is, even a cross of execution. It may be fine until it is used as a test of loyalty, for then we have left the realms of truth, justice or honesty, and entered the convoluted matrix of power and control. It is freedom the abstraction throwers hate. It is free thought that is their nemesis.

DEFEATING FREE THOUGHT

Why would they fear the individuals own test of truth over the imposed collectivist one? It seems to oppose the favored conditions they associate in their psyche with the symbol, that seems to place them above the worlds of “others”. Others whose identity is now molded into a duck in a fear based shooting gallery.

Many a libertarian opposes the left and the right for these very status quo attempts to control their own unique nature. In that, I see the founding’s of the libertarian fears. Remember the “Dixie Chicks” (country music group of three woman) just telling their own feelings to other human beings, was seen as betrayal, because it did not pander to power.

It is now an implied betrayal amongst these kinds of conservatives, to tell the truth of your feelings to others. George Orwell would be shocked at how fast and furiously, freedom is stabbed in the back in the name of freedom, and all because of not conforming to a machine like mindset, too timid and ashamed or shivering to speak your own truth. Land of the free and home of the brave indeed.

YOU ARE NOT LIKE US ARE YOU!

NOW WE CAN HATE YOU GOOD.

I started writing this post when I heard that right wingers, (conservatives, certain kinds of conservatives, whatever one wished to tag the fear merchants with,) when these people let up an uproar when one Black presidential candidates Black wife said; “People in this country are ready for change and hungry for a different kind of politics and … for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.” As I often say, context is everything, it can even make a word seem its opposite when it is taken out of context.

Whatever kinds of conservatives these were, they were shocked and appalled that this meant she had no pride in her country until her husband was a top candidate. What an insult to the nation it was, implying there was nothing for her to be proud of until her interest somehow is benefiting from how America is. The context was about her own view of hope from her conditional to subjective reference viewpoint!  Not theirs!

Well, if you have read my post and pages, you will see how this nation, clothed in some minds in glorious abstraction, actually treats its citizens and those who have served it in battle. Bring that truth up and you are against your country? Or are you telling the truth as you know it, because you love your country, standing up for freedom by applying it! A natural desire to change the nation for the betterment of all, not just elites.

FALSE COMPARISON BY SIMILAR OBJECT

Another candidates allegedly politically savy wife, brought the other woman’s words up as a contrast to her husband who was imprisoned by the enemy while serving his country. In effect this throws one persons past context into an others experience as being some kind of opposite. When in fact there is a large element of apples and oranges in the comparison of historical fact to an off the cuff personal reflection of current hopeful experience. Both are entitled to their feelings are they not? But have we really seen an opposite proved to be true?

Her comment even seems understandably true; why would you not be exceedingly proud to see a barrier that seems to represent oppression in the land of the free broken? Particularly one so personal to your own roots. Seems patriotic to the very core identity of American independence. Cultist hate independence. I doubt if there would be any “fire storm” if the primary “Christian” candidate said he was never so proud of his country since they are embracing Christ via his candidacy?

There might be some rumblings by the left and libertarians, plus constitutionally minded conservatives who know the necessity of church and state separations as independence defenses built into the constitution. I predict in this opinion that these latter ones who bring up questions would be treated as oddities, who are part of the problem of moral decline. Probably would hear much as well, about persecuting a Christian, and why you are against people being proud of their religion and Savior.

Suddenly we would hear all the nuance and ambiguities in handling a candidates unbridled excitement about his religious and soon to be government connections.

HYPOCRISY AS BLIND POLICY

When the public is in the position it is now in; left helpless to consolidated corporate media interest; manipulated by ideologically driven “fact” to emotionalized conclusion; left disabled and unwilling to challenge the ruling paradigm due to societal disconnection and doubt, we are in need of hope as never before.

If superman or superwoman are not dropping in to stand up for truth and justice united as the American Way. It is up to each of us to so stand, uniting the abstractions from the ground up and not the elite down position we are so accustomed to as inevitable.

We The People, as the actual land of the free and home of the brave. Well, that requires each one to act that way does it not? But cowering to some test of political interest and pundits who profit off of promoting divisions to enable elites? Afraid if we hold our hand “right” or where a pin like all the others are? That is the land of the ashamed of freedom and home of the subservient to other human masters, instead of the true One.

People write about their pride and goose bump feelings at large events when the Star Spangled Banner is sung. It is a song made to elicit that kind of response, but en mass, we humans feel part of something infinitely larger. Other countries and groups know of this phenomenon. With the Pledge of Allegiance to start of the day in Catholic school, one just did what one was asked. You could even feel that common purpose from doing a common thing that is directed toward something greater. It is good to feel part of something grand.

But for years I had that same sense even while not knowing the proper wording. I thought it said; and to the Republic where witches stand… That even added more mystery for me. I had heard about the Salem witch trials.

I am always proud of America for its dreams, and its daring to be a home for the individual to live both freely and responsibly. Yet I have no illusions that the old warlord dominator ways are not always trying to retake this land and all lands from the Common One. I have no pride in the attempts of prejudice, to masquerade as honor, nor robot conformity to define freedom.

CULTS, CREEDS, AND CONSENSUS REALITY

CULTS, CREEDS, AND CONSENSUS REALITY

Amazingly, I (we?) have not even known I was taking sides in things that were, as far as reality perception is concerned, problematic. I tended to have no idea that I was party to a conflict over interpretation, that I in effect inherited. If I do not truth check my “reality view” sources. I can be as wrong about things as the spell checker often notes.

Do I know why I side with the interest I do? Did dad harangue the opposite view, saturating me with it when I was too young to know; it was opinion backed by emotionalized association, and not the whole truth?

This is why we are to seek objective review of our environments; to not be led down paths of opinion we observe and assume are true. That is if we seek truth above misrepresentation in order to have an honest life.

What we call special interest have special reasons to limit our base of consideration. This is a natural self preservation strategy that places itself and those who identify with the sculpted consensus reality, beyond the scope of whole truth. Yet in their unaddmitted limitations, they are as sure of certainty as rain.

RAIN ON ME

We have an unprecedented opportunity to see blind bias in action, especially of political and religious ramblings, on the Web. With a certain anonymity, beliefs emerge that were usually taboo, particularly in the workplace, in order that work get done and employees and employers get home in one piece. Here I can put my pedantic or fallacious viewpoints and ignore reaction if I so chose. Safe, but how useful is it to preach to an assumed choir, while I just hear myself think in circles? Yet we face the made up closed mind if we seek contention with our opposites, where even if our facts are true and in a well placed and meaning context; they can be spit back at us as vile.

Speaking of circular reasoning as an essential ingredient of cult-think.

Most human debate is over, not what we do know, but what we suspect or presume of others, because of what they do or do not seem to let in to their misjudgements of the issues. We presume conflict over the implications of implied willful ignorance, it, seeming as misfeasance.

SAY WHAT?

A kind of nominalism takes hold in the language of “buzz” words or phrases, which proclaim a reality of their own by mere redefined consensus of opinion, from why knows where? Who needs to tie reality with its uncertain (at times unknowable) facts, when words shaping ideas can take on a tidy unchecked round world of their own. “You liberals”, is now a classic (says it all!) around the world in eleven letters.

My experience in a religious cult, demonstrated, at first shockingly so, how words are appropriated and given new, often private to the select group, connotations or whole definitions. (Most religions begin as a cult of someones or things character traits.) These tend to tightly control thought to a conserved overriding assumption. Adjusted at times by hierarchy if allowed, or stealthily by reinterpretation. Even behaviors and manners begin to show mimicry; all smiley faces for example, not that there is something wrong with real smiles.

To become a seeming true follow or believer then, applying these words and their associate concepts often serves to indoctrinate one into an altered world view, and much peer praise and bonding to the greater cause. These are what are blown across the world in their tidy bubbles of sealed off belief. In those bubbles, truth is fixed, words mean one thing, and we know who the other is.

CHANGING WORD MEANINGS ALTERS COMPREHENSION OF REALITY

It comes to be seen, that from that newly identified unenlightened force now presumably lurking in the larger culture, you begin to notice how shallow or even wrong their idea of the word and world is. I can then come to assume others have some lack of perception, or are blocked from knowing, yes, the truth! The Web as well as the highly biased “news” shows present much ad hominem belief as fact to their already biased in that direction audience. Who needs fact checking.

What I do not know can hurt me. Being naive about methods of mind manipulation is of benefit to many interest in the culture. If I am dumping used motor oil into a river as part of a business, I do not go around saying that part of the truth. I would tend to go around saying how important and responsible it is for you to have your oil changed. How important is is to you and your family to keep your car running as best as it can be for your own safety. We are trying to protect your car and family, definitely good guys. We drink water too you know.

Probably, I don’t wish to hear about the water issue. Might even get mad if someone brought it up, or look for some way to indite the issue itself, usually damning the messenger. (Commies trying to stop me from making a living, or liberal do gooders, why don’t they get a job instead of criticize. Move if you don’t like the water.)

WE HAVE TWO HANDS

We humans tend to be liberal about our own misgivings (giving them much sway room), and then, possibly because another points a finger at us, tighten our distrust of another even more so, becoming reactionary and antagonized about the misgivings of others about us. Those who brought into light something seeming to reflect ill on me, do seem to be attacking my self esteem. Some call this mirroring back; projection. A kind of self delusional exorcism, putting that devil into someone else, at least in our own minds certainty. Cognitive dissonance relieved.

{Now, this whole post is related to a buzz worded diatribes bubble I just read in my tags. (I have just created bubble as a potential buzz word. Oh, I think it already is one.) What I will call snickering about the “liberal media” (one companies) laid off workers could get a job on Hugo Chavez team. An understandable insult from one who understands blowing bubbles more than what moves in actual reality.}

WHAT IS FAIR ABOUT WHAT IS NOT WITH THE LEFT AND RIGHT?

The “left” of the political spectrum has been known by its mutual mistrust of other allegedly left groups not as interested in their issue as they would hope. Uniting organizations to coalesce into a united movement has been stymied by the lefts own, dominant in mind, individualistic pet issue dominance (my opinion). That is probably good and bad in some ways. The left tends to be made up of individuals who have a direct connection to the issue they raise, hence often volunteering their time and money to their cause. A thousand points of light may be at times more effective than a big out of control bonfire.

It seems to me that the right, though equally filled with mistrust, became united against their proclaimed common liberal enemy, that did seem to be everywhere; Government was trying to stop you from poisoning the common waters. Government was trying to help the sick and unfortunate by birth, bad decision or design. All this “interference” had to be labeled a poison itself, “The Welfare State.” Generalized welfare is to be bad. Makes for a weak nation. Now we can feel great about attacking that demon “Big Government”, that is out to ruin our nation.

A kind of contempt for actions on the part of the whole (except fear based ones) seems to have been transformed into a good, as if problems of large scale economic or other environmental and systemic origins are to be ignored. UNLESS THEY PARTICULARLY IMPACT A CONSERVATIVE OR CORPORATE INTEREST. Then they are called vital to our survival.

You want to survive don’t you? Money and propaganda pours in to affirm the poisonous nature of “tax and spend”. That apparently gleeful liberal mindset meant to bleed you dry. Oh, they have us in a good enough bind mentally and emotionally to divert our attention! And always around fear first, glowing abstractions to come, once liberalism is put down for good.

It seems some on the right are wiling to burn any liberal legacy of our nations previous hero’s sacrifice, as Bush said; “the Constitution is just a GD piece of paper” to solidify the security of the looming corporate welfare state. (Histories usual narrative of the wealthy and status entitled keeping their privilege at anyone and anything else’s expense.)

GOVERNMENT BAD

Government was to be framed as the source of the oppression you feel, (to unseat notions of public benefit) especially the delusion that common tax was the only thing that took your own will to survive out of your pocket. (Money as your status, real value and self respect.) The will of the people (that is democracy) to address issues relating to the common good of all, was to be poisoned from both the right, and eventually the seduced pulpit itself.

Words had to have their meanings changed, charged, tainted and effectively disabled from true consideration. No more commons for you, it was never there actually. You are to be abandoned to Gods will. If you have problems you are a sinner or looser. God, presumed to not want others to share your burden, nor help lift you up, not even care for you if sick. Your church, savings, insurance if you can afford it, or family is presumably your safety net, if you have one that is.

24/7/12/365 FEAR CARDS FOR YOU

Fear, however, effects each life at times. It is a powerful director of attention. And in the hands of the right wing of things, government was to be feared as a thief, and from some churches, as an agent acting against the will of God.

Now the doors are opened to exploitation and predation in the name of opportunity. President Eisenhower had seen how far this fear and paranoia industry had gone by the 50’s, and seemed to believe it endangered our very nations founding legacy. Little did we know that the information media, would itself align with its own big business interest first, public welfare, concern for the whole, last.

That whole economic trickle down theory puts one in proper perspective. The wealthy, if feeling generous, will hire you since they see they can make some money off of you at the moment, and let a little bit trickle into your cup. We are to praise and thank them. Just listen to all their commercials! They are only interested in bettering your life. But you never know the real long term cost to the whole for their operations.

ALL CREATION IS PARTITIONED AND FOR SALE

The right wing became the spreader of new meaning. Still it is seen everywhere. Unknowingly, bias can come along with the very acceptance of the framed notion. Individuals of great wealth set up the attack on what is called the Commons, as well as an educational infrastructure created to demonize all government as it applies to compassion, empathy and understanding, except in areas where those human “goods” could be used specifically to wedge people away from their broad definition.

Oddly, this attack on the media whose job should be liberal, wide open and not some one party’s line; which must then point out unresolved issues, societal incongruities and conflicts relating to privilege, pollution, global warming, suffering in the world and amidst our own poor etc… These were tagged as liberal bias. An evil thing that focuses on what is wrong.

By not focusing on what was not working for the whole system, those wrongs could be and were ignored, even blamed for their own existence. Remember hurricane Katrina victims? Troubled Iraq war veterans? All their own fault. Not our responsibility. Give me more tax cuts.

A legion of true believers in liberal bias of the media was sent out to seed the public with suspicion of anything that could be termed liberal. (I must note that liberals can be as one sided as anyone else at times.) In the current campaign it is still a poison pill of a sorts even for democrats. The implicit liberalism of Jesus Christ, and the Bill of Rights has been scaled back. In some Christian religious sectors, Christ love is for the “reborn”, to only apply to they who follow the right wing buzz word and wedge issue machine, all circularly codified as representing the good, and what is bad be damned.

HOW MONEY FORCES ISSUES ONE WAY OR ANOTHER

Years ago I had heard (a book documented the phenomenon) that some 80,000 had graduated from “conservative” schools explicitly to seek work in the media. It was no accident that in the lead up to the Iraq war; conservative “talking heads” outnumbered liberal ones more than 3 to 1. Were we really a nation designed to be fed bias as truth in matters of life and death? Is that what our nation stands for?

Is full and forthright truth, less important than cherry picked facts and loaded opinion masquerading as reality? If so, no one ever told me that is why we sacrifice the lives of our hero’s in war, to protect deception of elites above the whole truth. That would seem akin to treason. Yet some who worked in newsrooms claimed that the directive was to have at least two pro war talkers when any contrary one was there.

Is patriotism served by a mathematically loaded deception? Maybe in old warlord systems like Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. But the land of the free and home of the brave, also proudly the cowering conformist cult of the deceivers?

I HEARD IT! YOU SAID THE L WORD!

For many these days, just the mention of liberal, is now equated with taking from you and giving to the undeserving. It is a victory for powerful interest that can be said to take from you and give to themselves. That with the aid of their well funded “think tanks”, they have been able to frame the population at large into a biased corner. This seems to be their right, given they can afford to, and did so far, get away with it. This post will not be appearing much of anywhere, for instance. Nor many more well reasoned and documented ones I might add.

Now we come to that place where between media consolidation and corporate privilege over that of the individual American, we enter a time where the freedom to be able to think for oneself is itself at great jeopardy. If this trend persist, we will end up with the complete surrender of what was the United States of America.

The freedoms, rights and responsibilities will be instead, at the whim of the One World Corporation, a conglomerate of united companies who finally put an end to war, and instead, partition the worlds bounty amidst themselves and their sycophants. If those conservative interest do not unite to stop losses on destruction and competition, they will continue to attempt to destroy each other, leaving the world as collateral damage.

FASHION TRENDS IN WORLD DOMINATION

We are entirely capable of having the whole experiment in freedom and responsible democracy, atrophy until it resembles the era of the Pharaohs. There seems to be not much in the way of a completely fear based state for the worlds people, all dependent upon a new breed of masters.

Well, I do know of one thing that can stop the trend. No. Not UFOs. It is a secret weapon called Unconditional Love. The actual Power that manifest the universe. An Infuence which we are free to ignore, to our everlasting detriment. Odd, that we each have a Divine Power in our midst, which we too evidently seem to miss. One could even go so far to say, that heaven is at hand if we are willing to see it right there, in our hands.

THE X RAY: WHEN TRUTH TURNS NAKED

From one ex cult member to all those unknowing true believers in manipulated theory, believed to be proven fact; like the “liberal media” as an anti good thing, when I see your use of buzz notions as God given truths. I can see right through you. What really happened to your heart, your love?

PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE PRIMARY QUALIFICATIONS

TOP 10 PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE PRIMARY QUALIFICATIONS

{the unwritten but understood bottom lines sifting democracy out to sea}

(My comments are essentially a one note song. My opinion of this is; the truth bares repeating, because falsehoods are proliferating like E.coli in a petri dish. That is my point of view that is.)

10 Qualifications:

1. Do not fundamentally challenge the status quo.

Well who are they?

The powers that be in your town, your state, your church (assumed majority). In other words; status vested individuals and cliques, especially moneys freedom to keep itself to itself, and increase itself as much as possible. More or less the cancer philosophy, consume until nothing is left, then die. Hopefully you will be gone by then.

2. Allow the office (government) to atrophy, along with the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Bible or other books and papers if need be. They are just papers after all.

Well what good is that?

The chief executive is not to hold corporations accountable for dominator based globalization and its world wide impacts. The exploitation of the underclasses always required to do the hard work, the kind with real stench, sweat and grueling hours to boost the profits of CEOs and shareholders is to be condoned. That is our lifestyle, or more popularly; vital national interest.

All of government associated with social welfare and health (aside from the violence (terror) supported institutions) are to be strangled in the proverbial bathtub, UNLESS YOU HAVE A SUPPORTER THAT CLAIMS PRIVATIZATION WILL MAKE THEM (AND SO YOU) RICH. MR OR MS HEAD OF NATIONS CEO.

3. Pressure “lesser” nations for their resources to maintain your societal stability.

This may require pre-emptive actions, and historically, much behind the scenes subversion of democracy and authoritarian regimes. Pay-offs and promises of support, monetarily or militarily, handles, lets say 95% of this task. Elimination or invasion, the rest.
