I don’t know why. I should be a nervous wreck. But I feel good. Im smiling a lot for me. I guess my emotional work is starting to pay dividends.

Klaus Schwab
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Schwab
It is worth noting that he was born 5 years into Hitler’s rule, and was 7 when the Nazis lost their final battles. His parents were either Nazis themselves, or passive collaborators. There really were not other options. If they had been interned, it would be in his biography.
As I mentioned in a post I think I titled “The Little Boy who cried Fascist”, the words Nazis and Fascist have been so overused that it is understandable that people forget they have specific meanings.
And we need to remember that Nazis came, and come, from Germany. They ruled that nation for a bit more than a decade, and there is every reason to believe that a large number of them never repented their sins, never forgave the West and the Russians, and retain many of the core beliefs that first led them onto the battlefield, and to build and operate concentration and death camps.
The Great Reset may LITERALLY be the brainchild of a Nazi, with zero embellishment or exaggeration. I am just reading his obviously carefully circumscribed biography, and will not claim that with further reading my views may not evolve, but that is the first pass.
And the shit he is talking about sure sounds an awful like the “perverted science” that Churchill fulminated against and saw as one of their primary enemies.
Hell, with mind control, could the Nazis have simply not just fitted all the Jews with microchips? Is this guy trying to do something other than treat all of us the way the Nazis treated the Jews?
It is later than you think, I think.
Election Coverage
The Epoch Times is the only news outlet doing what to me is a responsible job covering both the fraud allegations, and the investigations into them.
People who have lived with Communism know how bad Communism is, so they are paying close attention, and are obviously vastly less apathetic and complacent than most of our media is.
Antonin Scalia
Im getting a picture of him hovering around the present Supreme Court. As I have shared I literally think that sort of thing is possible. This book is an interesting resource in that regard: https://www.amazon.com/Return-Tomorrow-George-C-Ritchie/dp/080078412X
I continue to believe he was murdered. He died “in his sleep” but was found with a pillow over his head. I do not believe an autopsy was done.
In my view there is every reason to believe several dozen men, and a few women, exist out there who are smart enough, trained enough, and experienced enough that, with added planning to make sure the right cops, right judges, and overall right environment are present, murders can be committed with close to impunity.
And killing Scalia was an obvious move. As I recall, only the diligent efforts of Mitch McConnell prevented his replacement with an anti-Constitutionalist.
Reminder
Virtually all of the problems in America are caused by about 200 people whose names we know.
There is no reason so many of us have to be ignorant and stupid.
There is no good reason for poverty in our nation.
There is no reason we could not all have easy access to world class healthcare (but not the way the lunatics want it).
All of our problems have solutions, and in most cases relatively easy and obvious solutions that could be implemented by people possessed of no special skills or talents other than honesty and goodwill.
The system is beautiful. The system runs itself. But people within the system continue to break and weaken it.
Governments do not create anything. Sometimes they pay for the creations, as with the military and space exploration, but by and large their only POSSIBLE role is inhibition. Their main action is getting in the way.
If there is something we want to stop, like crime, that is good.
But if you want economic innovation and invention, then the best role of the government is none. No role at all.
And here is the thing: Google and Facebook and Twitter depend on the inferior educations most people received in high school and college for their tricks. I do think all should be treated as publishers, because they are clearly editors.
And even there, if you think about it, what 230 does is PROTECT them from the consequences of their actions. In a truly free market, anyone who is genuinely hurt can and should be able to sue. The government is not tolerating what they are doing, it is ENABLING it.
As I ponder this, I realize I’m a bit out of my depth on that specific topic, but I do feel that the internet could and should still be the Wild West. The only banned speech should be speech that would be illegal anywhere else, which is specific threats, some types of pornography, and the like.
By specifically editorializing through Fact Checkers who only react to conservative speech, Facebook and others actively suppress the First Amendment right to freedom of speech. They are a for profit platform, but at the same time according to the laws it should be possible to sue them if they are pushing an openly partisan agenda. In important respects, they are acting as de facto lobbyists for the Democrats, as are Google and Twitter.
And again, we all have an interest in reducing election fraud. That sort of thing is a proper role of government. It is something we want less of.
Be nice
No, I’m not getting soft, or at least that particular kind. I wanted to comment that Be Nice and Be Kind amount to integration propaganda. While fine in theory, expressed politically they amount to the demand to submit without question, and without even inconvenience. If you train everyone to smile and be nice all the time, you can get away with anything. No one will want to risk being labeled mean.
I was in an elevator the other day, and someone had written “Be Nice” on it. I barely resisted the temptation to write “Obey” below it.
Q-Anon
I would say this: I see NO REASON, at all, none, to assume that there exist honest elements in our government in sufficient numbers and in high enough places to make a difference. They have let Trump flap in the wind for four years, unless I am missing something.
While I hope all this stuff is true–obviously–I would say that no one concerned about our country should include possible action by invisible people without names or firm information in their plans.
If you want to protest, protest. If you were waiting for someone else to act, looks like its you. If you are a potential whistle-blower, get it done.
“Trust the plan”, and “don’t do anything without us” work to keep people passive and disengaged.
Assume it is a fraud–and most likely an operation by our own or foreign intelligence agencies–if that assumption affects your life in any way.
Me, I read the news. I will see what I see.
One can hope
Pieczenik doubles down: https://79days.news/watch?id=5fc6cd4cb4b7ac58e58ffc81
I look this way, then I look this way, then I look behind me. I’m going in circles. Who to believe? I read the internet, and I, like you, have NO IDEA what has happened that no reporter saw, and/or no reporter wanted to report, and/or no reporter or witness COULD report. Or what was reported and censored. Until there is light, darkness remains omnipotent in its ability to conceal.
I don’t think most people GET that with a proper regime of censorship you can’t know what is being made to disappear. A UFO could land on the White House lawn, aliens step out, roast marshmallows, play flag football, levitate a few times, then climb back in and disappear instantly. We would never know.
We may never know completely what “just happened”, but there will be a “just happened” of some sort in a month or two.
Here are two problems I see with Pieczenik. 1) he claimed that the CIA Director had been fired several weeks ago. As of this moment, my understanding is that she is still there. 2) He said that arrests were happening several weeks ago, and that we had detailed accounting of all the ballots. If this were true, why would Trump be having the legal problems he is having in getting fair hearings, and why has this not been introduced into evidence?
Personally, I find this guy’s credibility weak, but share this because he seems clearly at one time to have been an insider, and he is obviously an intelligent guy, but not certainly a sane one, and not certainly an honest one.
I continue to hope and pray I see Trump raising his right hand in front of John Roberts on January 20th, swearing to uphold faithfully the office of President, and to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Heroin and Sadism
Like most people, I went through a phase of interest in serial killers. They are literally like a different species of human.
One known aspect about them is that they are all thinking about suicide, sooner or later. Nearly all of them have serious substance abuse disorders.
All addictions to strong stimulation have a common purpose: the eradication of the present self, which for addicts is filled with pain, regret and all sorts of unprocessed emotions. They cannot live happily on their own.
In this respect, cruelty and heroin are the same thing, and not infrequently go together. They are both small deaths, in lieu of the Big Death. They are small suicides, enacted regularly, and which, in the case of heroin, in nearly all cases lead sooner or later to the real thing. And heroin users KNOW this, and most of them accept it, I think. The idea of playing Russian Roulette appeals to them on some level. Sooner or later their pain goes away for good.
To be good is to be able to live happily with little. To be evil is to be miserable, no matter the extent of the wealth.
This has always been true, I think. It is not so much the case that the rich cannot enter heaven, as that they cannot enter heaven without letting go, and letting go is a big, big problem for most of them. Perhaps this is the root of Christ’s analogy. You have to become small, and you cannot become small if you try and bring all your baggage with you.
I would offer again the monkey trap analogy. In Southeast Asia, I think it is, they tie jar or bottles to trees with strings–jars or bottles that will allow a monkey to put an open hand in, but not take a closed fist out–and put something like a banana a monkey would want at the bottom. Over and over and over they find monkeys trapped by these bottles, because they can’t let go of the banana. Rather, they DON’T let go of the banana. This is such a good metaphor.
To grow a larger Self, you have to let go of the smaller self, and in general, you have to do so without touching and knowing that larger Self. You have to have faith. You have to take the leap, and over time, that leap will always be rewarded.
But if I take a physical analogy, let us say your self is now a circle 1 meter in diameter. There is no linear path to a self which is 3 meters in diameter. One vanishes, then the other appears. It is like a quantum leap. The “physical” orbits of electrons are described as doing this. There is no intermediate. This is one of the reasons why many physicists do not believe there are little bits at the bottom of everything.
It is the caterpillar to the chrysalis to the butterfly, over and over. And I think it is possible to learn to do this every day, in small ways. Even the trek from 1 to 1.1 meters involves a death and rebirth.
And I suppose this is the root problem with addiction: you get the death, but never the rebirth. The addict is the person denuded of faith, and thus the possibility of redemption and growth. This is the ultimate root of evil.
High Noon
Without belaboring the analogy, which is obvious enough–one guy facing a large number of enemies seeking to destroy him, abandoned by most of those who should be his allies–I will remind you of the church scene, and the guys who said in effect “I’d love to help you, man, but I just can’t.”
We need to remember that Joe Biden has almost certainly taken, indirectly, something on the order of billions of dollars in bribes from China, and WE KNOW THIS. And his guy–for State, I think it is–is already saying “hey, these guys are our PALS”.
His son deserves to be in jail not just for the bribes, but for being a pedophile who kept images on his laptop, no doubt for use in masturbation. We have those images. The FBI had them for nearly a year and did nothing, and even now the Delaware State police have them. Do you expect a prosecution for a really open and shut crime? I don’t. I expect crickets. If Biden gets in office, if and when they announce they are dropping the investigation–it will probably just never be mentioned again–the press will ignore it. And if they don’t ignore it, social media will censor it.
Jeffrey Epstein, who was accused of using weird sex to blackmail many if not most of the most powerful men and women in America, was murdered, while in a maximum security prison, where he should have been on suicide watch. The guards were bribed to not be there, and the cameras were disabled from inside. The murderers got in, got it done, got out, and there has been no real investigation. In a high profile case, watched by the world, where many observers were saying “he is going to be murdered”, he was murdered, and they got away with it, 100%. Scot free.
Here is what people need to understand: a variety of game changing technologies are coming on line. AI is, I am very sure, coming very close to passing the Turing test. It is creating art, and writing songs and novels.
Robots are advancing quickly. Combined with effective AI, even with regards to physical conflict, it is rapidly becoming the case that a VERY small number of people with access to this technology could easily overpower in purely physical, military terms, 200 million people with guns.
We can assume that if the 305th Military Intelligence Battalion is the Kraken, that it will be broken apart by Biden, and cast to the four winds. Anyone helping Trump will find themselves watching empty missile silos somewhere in Montana, if they can’t find a way to prosecute and jail them outright.
Now is the time for a stand, of whatever sort may be possible. The odds are overwhelming. No statistician would bet on success. But the odds are not zero. And the longer it takes to begin reigning in the lawlessness, the closer they approach zero.
Some time ago I wrote a post called Perfection? Reading it now, I would write it differently now. I have grown since then.
But O’Brien, in 1984, said that the future was an infinity of a boot on the human face. He said this in a spirit of sadism. Even then, though, O’Brien was tired. Even then, he himself wanted to die too. (and in actual fact Richard Burton himself died of a heart attack shortly after completing the film, at the relatively young age of 58). Such a system would not last forever. Perhaps hundreds, perhaps even thousands of years. But it is contrary to everything which makes human beings want to live. It is unnatural. It lacks God, and God is the glue of life itself. Smith felt this for a long time, until some structure in his brain gave out under the most extreme duress possible and imaginable.
We have all the knowledge we need to build something beautiful and lasting on this planet. Without getting into my ideas on infinity–I have a large post I will make at some point that will blow your mind a bit, and which I am still digesting emotionally myself–we could build a happy, honestly egalitarian society that would endure hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, perhaps here, perhaps spread out over the cosmos.
We know, now, that prosperity can be generalized in the United States. There is every reason to think this can be done around the world. I GET that the planet does not have infinite resources, but it is also obvious to me that–given spiritually rich, emotionally nourishing culture–we don’t need that much.
It may be that everything we have–all our technology–had already been built 10,000 years ago, and they decided instead to build stone buildings that lasted essentially forever instead, and live the lives of simple farmers. Most people lived in perishable huts, that have perished.
The task has never really been to make life easier, but to make it more MEANINGFUL. There are millions of Africans, today, who are happier with nearly nothing, by American standards, than most of us are. They have honest friends. They dance together in their villages. They have their families right there with them. They do not work too hard, or too little. They sing. They see the stars at night.
Give people meaning, and the economics will work out.
The problem is that our aspiring overlords themselves lack meaning, so they cannot see how this would be possible. Their meaning consists in the manic need to find people to “save”, who they in general push down with one hand while pulling them up with the other. The process cannot be completed, because otherwise they would lose their shallow and tenuous raison d’etre.
No: our problems have solutions. All we need are sane people willing to do the obvious, common sense things, and let us save ourselves. There is ample time.
One last note: I am of course trying to figure out how to deal emotionally with all possible eventualities. Hope is a fine thing, but it is dashed on the rocks of life continually. Every Main Street, especially now, is littered with ship wrecks.
What difference is there between a Buddhist who, in seeking their Buddha Nature, tries to avoid both desire and repulsion, and to cling to his “real” nature, which is calm and peaceful; and a devout Christian, who prays daily, “Lord, let me seek thy will in all things, and accept it in all things, and in all things give thanks and praise, happiness, and joy and peace”?
In my view, both are spiritual solutions which are very similar to the same problem, which is the inherent difficulty in managing emotional states in a world where death and pain stalk us daily, even in the best of times.
You have to let go. You have to stop bracing for impact. And when you do this, you find things floating down the river continually which buoy you, which make you feel good, which allow you to feel good, which make life itself feel good, which make the company of other humans pleasant, which fill you with the Four Greats, joy, tranquility, compassion and love.
I have many miles to go in my journey. I cannot say that more difficulty would not make my work easier, or my character better. I don’t honestly know what I need. I am blind, in most important respects. But I have hope, not so much in the world–although there is definitely hope even now that we can right this ship before it founders–but in my own ability to continue to grow and adapt to whatever happens to me.
