Month: November 2020

 I have been saying for a while now that elections need to be audited.  You need to take one randomly chosen county in each State and verify that all the ballots are valid, and do this in each election.

The Left says, in effect, “you have not PROVEN, yet, that we are cheating, so we must not be.”  But what form would that proof take?  Could or should it be stronger than locking out observers when the counting is happening for a closely contested election?  People showing up with suitcases full of God knows what–most likely fraudulent ballots–and waltzing straight into secured ballot rooms?

Most professional Accountants know their jobs.  They follow procedures and processes.  Most of the time, everything they do is fine.  But most companies have their books audited each and every year.  Why?  Fraud does happen.  Mistakes happen.  It helps to get a second set of eyes on the core of your business.

Elections are the soul of democracy.  Their integrity should be sacred.  If there is even a WHIFF of impropriety, we need to validate the whole process.

And the politics of this is obvious.  Democrats for many years have been the cheaters.  There was probably a time long ago when Republicans cheated too, but there has been no reason to think that has been going on for 60 years or more.  I would think it would have been more like in the 20’s in city and State elections, to counter the Tammany Hall’s of our country.

My vote is that any group of counters who won’t allow inspection and surveillance, should have their whole crop of ballots declared for the person they are obviously working against, in this case Donald Trump.  If we did that in a couple of elections, they would straighten up and fly right.

As things stand, if fraud on this scale is allowed, why would it not be larger next time?  Why would it not become a regular feature of our electoral landscape?  I can’t see why it would not, and self evidently we have NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MANY YEARS.

Again: we need to hire accounting firms to go through and validate small randomly chosen samples for EVERY Election, and we need more careful validation when there is suspected–fairly open would be the words I would use–fraud, as in Milwaukee and Detroit.

To do less is to over some time period risk violence.  With Trump our future is good.  With Biden, we are looking at masks and economic decline.  If Biden is declared the winner, I literally expect several projects I have been anticipating to cancel.  Companies will start holding on to their money again.  The confidence will be gone.  At this time, after this 7-8 month assault on our economy, that would and will be devastating.  At some point, the guns will come out.  It is inevitable.

 1. I have often observed that people wearing masks cannot understand each other.  The masks muffle their voices and inhibit proper enunciation.  Their solution?  Getting closer together, and not infrequently pulling the mask down to speak.

2. Humidifiers more or less drop viruses out of the air.  They are a cheap and easy way to reduce the spread, particularly, of aerosolized particles.  Have you heard this?  Six months in?  I had not until the other day.  It was on the Frontline Doctors talk on masks.

3. I think I shared this already, but here is the United States “curve”: https://covid19.who.int/region/amro/country/us

What you see is what I think was intended, which is a never ending series of waves, sufficient to create panic and induce fear, but none in themselves that large.  And we now long know that much of that is deaths that have nothing, or functionally nothing, to do with COVID-19.

4. We stand a good chance of inaugurating as President a senile, psychopathic traitor, who literally took money from the  Chinese for policy favorable to them.  They may well have helped him get elected, if in fact he does get declared the winner, all the massive evidence of cheating notwithstanding.

What I said of Barack Obama holds doubly true of Joe Biden.  We knew nothing about Obama.  We know EVERYTHING about Biden.  He is a stereotype of the glad handing hack for sale to everyone with a few dollars to rub together.  He is a Machine politician assembled at General Casting.  He has taken bribes for any number of countries around the world, some of them our enemies, or at least rivals.

My vote is that Trump does whatever it takes to stay in office.  Our Republic cannot take much more of this beating.  We already know that the CIA and FBI are corrupt and in effect acting as the allies of aspiring authoritarians.  Without knowing the details, we know there is some profoundly sick stuff going on with the elites, and that most of THEM are psychopaths too.

5. I shout at the wind.

6. I shout at the wind, but the wind does not hear.

7. My challenge is to live with all of this, to relax, to be happy, to do my duty as I see fit, and to try and grow spiritually every day.

Spirituality is applied savoir vivre.  No good life can or does exist without laughter, calm, love, courage, fidelity, and awareness, among other virtues.

If these are the end times, let’s make the best of them.

 Is being addicted to media not something close to functional hypervigilance?  If I am clicking every five minutes to check, to check, to check, is that not functional OCD?  

This world may spin out of control, and that spinning out of control could easily take the form of the world becoming a gigantic prison.  Centralized authority is less orderly than formal Complexity.  It subtracts as much information as possible.  That is its nature.

But if we survive with goodness intact, with working hearts in addition to the adding machines on our shoulders, then we will come to view all of this as madness.

History has seen wave after wave after wave of madness.  Christianity, as it was deployed historically by the Church, is madness.  Low fat diets are madness.  Lockdowns and masks are madness.

History has seen a few people, here and there, who made a difference; and in their own times, most of them were hated.

No matter what happens, I think I am going to walk away from this continual storm.  I think I have developed the resources emotionally to do it, finally.  

 Oddly enough, I feel relatively tranquil.  I think I have accepted that Biden may win, and that a whole host of unnecessary, bad things will follow.

My task is to build tranquility in all circumstances.  Equanimity is, perhaps, the beginning of all lasting blessings.

The world is the world, and it is out there, and operating by its own laws.  It is not under my control, but if I harness myself, my happiness, my peace of mind, to its restlessness and continual change, then there is nothing left of me.  I need a divorce from concerns about people and places I can’t see and can’t touch.

 It occurred to me that I would be much happier if I went 10% slower.  You can stay on track, and get a lot done, but 10% loosens you, and frees you up for moments of new perception and reflection.

It is the affective equivalent of keeping your mouth slightly open when meditating and your tongue on the roof of your mouth behind your teeth.  This may have the subtle energetic benefit ascribed to it, but it certainly makes it impossible to clench your jaw.

Go slow.  Or at least slower.  Unless there is something truly important going on.

And I will note that many of these doctors have in fact been in the “front lines” in the battle against COVID-19, but that ALL of them are in the front lines in the battle–which is in my view the more important battle–for truth and effective, intelligent policy.

In one study people wearing masks were 13x more likely to get infected.  They don’t know why.

But the whole thing is worth the watch.

 I was dreaming in darkness last night.  It was not bad.  It felt like I am finally getting to see the reality of my own experience clearly.  Most all of us tell lies to ourselves all our lives; some of us more than others, and I would be in the some of us.

I think to see darkness clearly is to sense light.  I think of Lao Tzu’s “darkness within darkness: the gateway to all mystery.”

And I have been feeling light periodically over the past week or two.  I will feel ribbons of purple and orange coursing through the world.

And I feel that our planet–and all matter–floats, like the thinnest foam, within an infinite space.  Someone who knew how light it was could lift the whole universe overhead easily.

And energies flow through it like it has no mass at all.  Continually.  Some energies lift us up, and some push us down.  Gravity is the effect of us forgetting how light we really are.  Gravity is a state of being, not a law of any sort, at least where we are concerned.  We are consciously living matter, in this world.

This is a Turning Point on our planet.  As goes America, so goes most of the world.  We all know this.  We are by far the most powerful nation to ever exist, and when you consider that, it is all the more remarkable that we are so abominably stupid.  Could people like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have been nominated to be President even in this country until this very year?  It is astonishing.

I feel back on my own history.  I was dreaming, for the manyeth time, of being an academic and of being a soldier.  I have long regretted failing to be either.  But I felt then, and continue to believe logically now, that both pathways would have led to me abandoning the path I am on.  

I live a humble life now.  Nothing special.  But I am able to focus my energy on figuring out who I am, what life is about, and how we can all make it better.  I have no prism or lens I need to use other than what feels intuitively right to me.  I have nothing really distracting me.  Even the physical labor I do leaves ample mental energy for continual reflection.

I was very proud to be accepted into the University of Chicago, and very proud to have done fine there.  Nothing exceptional–there were definitely smarter people there–but I did fine.

My whole life I have been saying “not that, not that”.  I have not known the way forward, but have done my best to say no to pathways that I knew were dead ends for me.

This is a surreal time.  You have to be dead spiritually not to feel the electricity and dread in the air.  There is fear, yes, but hope too.  There is change, one way or the other.  All of this is medicine for the soul.  All of this is energy that, if you internalize it, breathe it in, will change you, will permit you to take your next step in the direction of That.

 “2020” is a creation of Democrats.  In my view, there is a power elite that is quite literally willing to throw billions of people–and yes I mean billions–of people back into extreme poverty, cause the deaths by starvation of millions, perhaps tens of millions, of people, and completely ruin Main Street and the small business sector, in order to resecure their control of the reins of power.

They politicized this thing early.  They prevented rational dialogue.  They prevented the emergence of effective treatments.  They demonized a drug that has been used with no conspicuous problems in half the world since 1955.  They mobilized and paid for riots which, in the main, destroyed black businesses, black neighborhoods, and black jobs.

And I truly believe that they wanted people to vote early because they are in a race against time.  At some point, the sheer volume of the devastation they have wrought is going to become clear.  At some point, the STUPIDITY of what we have been doing is going to become clear.  Masks make things worse.  I am 75% convinced of this, and 100% convinced they are not necessary.  Early treatment is the key to reducing death, but none of our senior people are recommending it.  Lockdowns INCREASE the death rate, in the short, middle, and long terms.

The whole thing is manufactured madness.  The “experts” have been bought, and the media has suppressed all the experts who remain dedicated to truth telling.  The Frontline Doctors continue to be censored, even we all know they are doctors and that what they are saying makes sense.

All of this because they fear Donald Trump.  He is the first honest President we have had in I can’t begin to guess how long.  Maybe it was Jack Kennedy who, despite his continual infidelities, did actually love this country in his heart.  He did risk his life for it.

All of the things the Left claims to hate about this country, about the rich, about injustice, are embodied in today’s Democrats.  They hate impartial justice, wealth they don’t control, free speech, and in my own view, happiness outright.  It is a party of nastiness, venom, sadism, and control.  And they are empowered beyond belief by the support of the tyrants of social media, all of who are nasty, awful people.

That is what I really think.  I will do the best I can to live in this country as we move towards an Orwellian future if we elect Joe Biden, but it will be in a spirit of sadness, in a spirit of loss, and a sense of how close we came to building something truly good and lasting.
