Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
‘Cause I’m in need of some restraint
Mick Jagger (mainly), 1968
I read he was riffing on Baudelaire (Fleurs de mal, presumably) and Bulgakov, whose The Master and Margerita was a critique of the Soviet Union, as I recall the history, although apparently, and perhaps paradoxically, Stalin himself supported him at certain points of his largely truncated and destroyed artistic career.
If you think the CIA is a criminal organization, and that there IS a “Military-Industrial Complex” (keep in mind Eisenhower was a retired General and a Republican), you HAVE to vote for Trump this time.
What is odd, too, is that if you support the working men and women of this country, the rule of law, the black community, and all minorities here legally, you ALSO have to vote Trump.
It’s unclear to me why any person here legally, who works for a paycheck, and loves themselves and their children, would vote for anyone but Trump.
There is nothing left for Democrats but hatred, violence, and self destructive anger.
1. Kamala Harris is Richard Nixon, but without his charm, good looks, and instinctive ethical sense.
2. If you like 2020, vote Kamala Harris for President. If not, vote Trump.
The answers to questions asked by experience can only be found within the idiom of experience.
Language kills, misleads, and distracts.
Healthy routines are the earth within which new life is supported and nurtured.
The world is in motion. It may appear locked down, but emotions are flowing like a river in subterranean caves. They are with me, but usually there is a parallelism of sorts: I see in the world what is present in me, not as projection, but as an opened visual capacity.
I have a strange pivot I need to do. I have alluded to it on several occasions. It is my job, now, as I see it, to figure out, at this moment, in the coming months, how to be happy.
I was told last week by what I will call a psychic that I was born to figure out how to transmute pain. I would say it was the larger problem of the genesis and propagation of evil, but ultimately evil is pain–pain unprocessed, untransmuted, made transcendent, unavoidable, and a matter of existential need and addiction.
Satanism and Leftism both consist mainly in the creed that pain is the only reality in the world, and that it cannot be redeemed, and must be embraced and made the purpose and subject of focus and following life.
This is my long winded way of saying, again, that my gut instinct, and some higher thing I might call intuition, keeps telling me the best way for ME to fight this battle for the soul of the world is to learn to tap into higher energies. My best work could literally consist in learning how to thoroughly enrapture myself walking in the park, losing more weight, getting in great physical condition, and cooking a lot more.
It’s an odd irony, that I would get–as I see it, although I have regularly received outside validation–so good at debating, at seeing the hidden, at forming words and slogans, at making “points”, broadly understood, then at a moment of maximum need be told to stop, to step back, to let go. It feels a bit cruel, but the work involves going towards the pleasant, the high, the elevated, the good, so it really isn’t.
When you live with a certain amount of misery for long enough, the idea of kindness, of peace and rest, feels cruel. It must be a joke, you think. Don’t tease me.
But that is my work. That is what I have to do. As is likely obvious enough, I tend to think of myself as a soldier, and if you have competent, well meaning leadership, you follow orders, so I am going to try.
There is too much violence in the world, too much enmity. At my best, I still tend to add to it. Anyone incapable of seeing the problem with Kamala Harris as President–which is what we are talking about–cannot hear the thunder or see the lightning. They have passed beyond human understanding, and live in some dark, dank cave as troglodytes immune to human reason, and past summoning to return to the light, at least for now.
The hope is that most Americans are still sane enough, and that Trump can and will prevent enough cheating that he can win, get us four more years, and that that condition will find me ready to begin to do the work I believe I was born to do.
So if I post less, that is success.
There is something in all pf us that admires seemingly effortless winning. We admire the “naturals”, the talents, the something-specials.
But mist of these people are using their seeming effortlessness as a tool fir osycholigical warfare.
At the top of any game nobody has it easy, and this includes the game of life.
If anyone makes it look easy on the court or field, you can be pretty damn sure they fought some tough tough battles off the court, where minutes were hours and feet miles.
These are the battles that matter. It long seemed to me I was out of the fight, just grinding along, half or two thirds, or 99% dead. I lost, or so it seemed. But you stay in the fight, and the hopeless battles are often the best ones. It is you and your will alone, with no hope, no light, no victory in sight pr even conceivable.
Hopelessness is a sort of tree-fucking, as described in the book Gates of Fire. It is maximum effort against an immovable and unbeatable object, which still strengthens you.
I was thinking about William Casey’s supposed comment, and would amend it: they will know they are successful when most of what a large segment of the population believes is patent bullshit.
Look at the news. Look at the absolute and truly inexcusable imbecilities being uttered by educated people, even and perhaps particularly by college professors and administrators.
Get rid of the police.
Joe Biden is a good candidate.
Donald Trump is to blame for the assaults being waged on him.
In 1984, the control was 100%. In our world, you CAN get a reasonable facsimile of honest news, if you look for it, and you can deduce obvious facts even from what is provided by all the news outlets.
But the mockingbird media has ADDICTED people to idiocy, to War is Peace as an honest, morally superior position they can rest their intellectual and ethical hats on.
It’s as astonishing and jaw dropping as, I suppose, fascinating in its own way. Problem is, I have to live in the world these people are doing their level best to ruin. So do my kids. So do your kids.
I wonder if a Constitutional case could be made against mail-in balloting based on the 14th Amendment. My argument would consist in the observation that a fraudulent ballot effectively cancels my own vote, depriving me of my Constitutionally guaranteed right to be represented through participating in the electoral process.
Mail-in ballots do not require proof of identity, and thus voter fraud becomes vastly easier. Dead people who have intentionally not been erased from the voter rolls–which Democrats refused to allow Pence to audit in the aftermath of the 2016 election–and people who don’t normally vote can have ballots filled out in their names, by Democrats who have spent the past four years building lists of names. In States like California which actively facilitate cheating by not really trying to keep accurate, valid lists of names, people not even in this country legally can vote, and also invalidate the votes of the rest of us who ARE here legally, and for whose benefit the system exists.
The same argument could be made for voting without Voter ID, which is universal the world over. The poorest Indians, who live in ramshackle huts, with dirt floors and no plumbing, are required to have ID.
And reading the 14th Amendment, it provides that the “basis of representation” be reduced in States where voter disenfranchisement is perpetrated. Could States where the Attorney General or equivalent fails to properly prevent fraud (California) be punished by having their number of Representatives to the House reduced? I think the law could certainly be read that way. The system as a whole depends on the honesty of the parts, and successful fraud tends to become self perpetuating, since it acts to ensure its own continuance by making sure people supporting the fraud continue to win unfair elections whose on-going continuation they make a matter of semi-official policy. Think Tammany Hall on a State or even national level. Graft for graft, never prosecuted because the criminals run the police too.
Imagine a situation where California had a quarter of their Representatives culled from the House for 2 or 4 years. It would be beautiful. And this threat, on the table, might help.
My gut instinct is that the Democrats have a threshold above which cheating is riskier than chancing a fair outcome. My gut tells me they can swing about 5 million illegal votes nationally, which is a lot. If Trump wins by more than that–which is quite possible, given how horrifically the Democrats have been treating the American people and how insulting Joe Biden is to the intelligence of Americans as a non-viable candidate who should never have been put forth for the office of President of the United States–then the election chaos the Democrats plan will be obvious to all as a farce, a gross insult, and a de facto insurrection and attempted coup, with following legal consequences, which I would hope would include arrests and prosecutions of its ring leaders.
Please continue to pray for this nation, and indeed the future of humankind. This time is pregnant with both large risk and enormous potential for good.
I continue to wonder why Switzerland, which is generally recognized as having had the most successful response to COVID, is something no one is discussing.
Even granting that the CIA controls much of our media, is it 100%?
Two facts for you to consider:
The Swiss educate many of the world elite. Bill Gates most likely sent his kids to school in Switzerland. Same with Jeff Zuckerberg.
Switzerland is also home to the Bank for International Settlements, which I don’t think I really understand. Like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, it seems to be an institution created by and for an elite whose full scope of operations is kept hidden from the public in plain sight. We know where it is, and no doubt one could watch men and women in suits with briefcases and laptops walking in and out every day, but remain unclear what happens when they get in their offices and sit down in front of their computers.
Keep in mind the background to all of this is that an unelected, unaccountable elite has the power to create infinite amounts of money merely by typing at magic keyboards. Their only limits are their cupidity and their countervailing desire to keep the system going by not getting too greedy and causing people to ask questions. Does the BIS play a role in our own money supply? I don’t know.
But I lived in Switzerland in my teens. They are intelligent, serious, humble people. Their role in all this may be as the refuge for the power elite when the rest of the world is brought crashing down. They won’t hide in bunkers. They will hide in chalets and go skiing and hiking daily.
We live in a world curated by liars. In conspiracy circles, there is a famous quote a CIA Director–I believe it is usually attributed to William Casey–saying something to the effect that “we will know we are successful when everything people believe is a lie.”
I think the Church hearings revealed the Operation Mockingbird–an effort by the CIA to sculpt and curate the “news” in this nation, illegally–was a real thing. Given that those hearings barely scratched the surface, and seemingly generated a bunch of “sure, buddy, we’ll fix it, don’t worry about it”‘s as a response, why would these operations not still be going on?
Absent a compelling background and driving narrative, sanity would break through vastly more than it does. Tucker Carlson is one of the only guys who really seems to get the scale and scope of the lies being told, and how destructive they are to our moral, social, spiritual, psychological and economic well being.
As I keep saying, in the same respect that one can infer the presence of an invisible object by how it exerts gravity on objects around it–say a black hole, or whatever the object is that seems to be outside our solar system–one can reliably infer the presence of an informational black hole, or invisible influencer by watching the news. Some sort of conspiracy theory is needed to explain our news, some sort of larger plan and covert cabal. That they want power is a reasonable assumption, and that they oppose freedom is likewise a reasonable assumption. Beyond that, little. Leftism and war and carefully and intentionally sown political division as means, that also is reasonably obvious.
