Talking again with my old buddy D.B.:
Tuesday morn, a repeat of Monday morn. Up early, ready to get shit done. Ive got a couple guys hauling blacktop road base, laying it on my mile long driveway. Last did the drive (in recycled concrete) 5 years ago and after 2 major flooding events I need to redo it. 7am on the dot, they should be showing up soon. Here they come…
The road looks great:
I repeat… I see things in 2 basic lights… rhetorical or reasonable. My definition of rhetorical is simply "persuasive speech". Reasonable is what is says, "something that is reasonable or makes sense".
If I hear rhetoric my main thought is that I'm being sold something, convinced of something. If you say that a Ford is better than a Chevy Id have to research, study and decide for myself. If you say Red is better than Blue, again I have to assess it all. I dont simply buy what I am being sold. I am far too much of a skeptic, and a cynic. I need to test drive everything...
I know it is a simplistic view but then I am a simple sorta guy.
I also believe in "prestidigitation"… The old "look over here" stuff that has been around forever.
The trans/ abortion/ et al BS is nothing but diversion from the main. I agree with you there but… not many clever folks around to figure it out. Not enough folks thinking about enough to make a difference anywhere. Folks all too busy supporting their "teams"… noting strongly that all sides of the political spectrum work for the same masters. Everyone that gets a chance wants to be part of the Elite class, and as such, will say and do what is required to gain entry.
And to disagree, dissent from the group-thought can be dangerous. If you stand up for what you believe to be true, stand up against the "main", you have every chance of being cancelled.
Covid was a great example of herd mentality, group think and the punishments that come from dissenting.
No I do not, never did, never will support disengaging… Being disengaged means you eventually get taken over. Beaten up. Arse fucked. Not guud.
I believe in strength. I believe in clear communication. I believe that any elected "Leader" that stands up for ideals or for the non-rhetorical is going to disappear. You got to sing the song of the herd, or else...
The power-political scene is a snake pit. If you are warm blooded, you end up getting bitten.
Dont get me wrong, I am no pussy. I still walk armed through life. Like yer stick, or my steel toe boots… Im prepared to not go down without a fight. If I disagree, I verbally and respectfully state why I think you are full of shit. It do not make me many friends.
In January 1981, in Manohuki village, Makira, as a trainee PCV, I got in a group discussion with my fellow trainees… I stated that I did not vote in the 1980 election because I thought all the candidates were Bozo-The-Clowns. Why should I waste my vote? I wanted a candidate that I could support, not one that convinced me or my peer group of x, y, or z…
It was a messy argument. Me v 9 peers. I was unpatriotic, I shouldn't be allowed to be a PCV. I had to vote. It was my responsibility to vote…. I have still not changed my thinking of 40 years past… I want a candidate that I can support, not a paper-cut-out of a rhetorical machine driven by unseen forces. And now I live in the Land of Aus where voting is required. This means that at the age of 66 I popped my voting cherry.
I do see weakness, a lack of stomach for the debate, the arguments, the fights… I do see weakness...
Why is "the West" capitulating so readily to the forces that we know are less than tru and good, and might even be evil. Is a constant state of aggression required? Is sending billions upon billions worth of "arms" to Ukraine or Israel (and the others) really the best option. Or is it all simply an effort of make the Elite more powerful? Wealthier, more in control of all and everything. And push the average citizen, the tax paying citizen deeper and deeper into a no-wriggle-room submission hold.
I believe we are well past the point of returning to a realm of reasonableness… And, a you say, the world has been "dumbed-down". Almost and maybe to the point of being incapable.
Your discussion on history is understandable but… Im not a team member. I dont have to blame it all on Raygun, or Clinton, or any of the others. No one is at fault because the electorate was duped by the Elite to think all the wars since WW2 were true and good and honourable. Vote for me… I'll lower your electric bill… I'll cancel you student debt… I'll give you free day care… I'll buy you a bag of rice… Noting elections in Solomons just done, where indeed a bag of rice buys a vote.
And who actually pays for all this… of course it is the tax paying citizen.
I have no doubt that post WW2 saw the develoement of the deep, militarily focused industrial state. This "apparatus" is now entrenched world wide. It pretty much rules everything from behind the curtains. All the elected dipshits are simply puppets. The "system" has developed around the political where entrenched "public servants" push the paper, play the stage hands to the master puppeteers/ magicians… whom we never see...
Who is this cohort? Where do they live? How do we identify them?
Why is a guy like Soros playing god? And there are many others like Soros.
In my opinion, if you can name them, they aint really the top list Elite.
Of course the likes of John Kerry, Obama, Trump, and others want to gain access to the club. The likes of the Bush family and the Kennedys have been board members for generations. But, they aint the top. Epstein was a pip for the few foolish Elite (like royalty dips) but he wasn't even a big player. Thats why he (and Maxwell) were so easily expendable.
It takes more than being a billionaire to gain access.
So, no, I dont think we disengage.
In all honestly I dont have a solution or a plan for "fixing" anything.
All I got is heaps of questions.
Smiles
More later
