Wisdom From the 1900s

Wisdom From the 1900s

I’m reading another book from the early 1900s. This one is by Walter Lippmann titled Drift and Mastery, published 1914. It is an incredible display of rational thinking and articulation. Wow! Talk about make me feel inferior! I can aspire to write so adroitly, but I am under no illusions. I do my best and strive to improve. What else can I do?

I bought this book to expand my understanding of the progressives. I hear the term often in the “news.” It seems only right to learn more and he was a central figure in the movement. He even may have been the one who coined the term. In the introduction he presents it in quotation marks and writes that he thinks is would be a good name for a trend happening during that time.

Lippmann and the progressives of his time espoused a different version of progressive ideas than I am seeing today. Naturally. Times change things. Some things don’t change much though. We are still under a heavy burden placed upon the backs of mankind by accumulation over history. Lippmann and others considered themselves to be rebels, and they probably were, but the term is too general. More definition is needed. Still, they were attempting to take the temperature of the time and change it, so, they were rebellious at least. After more than a hundred years, their cause is still unattained.

It seemed that they had some good ideas and a will to see then put into action. I wonder what Lippmann thought about the depression that followed his book. Maybe I can find some record about it. One thing is a logical derivative; the Great Depression had a dramatic effect on the movement of the progressives. It seems quite obvious to me that there are people with fabulous wealth who have strong incentives to protect it.

Our world is one in which wealth is power. Make no mistake. Only those of “invincible ignorance,” as Lippmann put it, cannot see that money is power. That being said, it must also be said that even the not-so-ignorant and even intelligent people do not grasp the full ramifications of the fact. As I ponder the intricacies of reality, understandings assail me like lightening flashing in my mind. Linking together one bit of data with another and then another until it becomes like a train of many boxcars, a long train of thought, insights begin to add more boxcars and more boxcars until my ability to articulate falls far short of justice. Sharing these things using available means of communications is proving a greater challenge than the achievement of the insights. Lord help me!

I realize that people don’t understand all about everything. That is by definition ignorance. Our long and horrible history is proof of our ignorance and terrible ways. If God would snap his fingers and banish all ignorance, things would be very different. Alas, I doubt God has such power. The long history of mankind seems to be valid proof . We are caught in the throes of sharp contrast among Americans. Opposites contest. Opinions lack unanimity. Even though we all live on the same planet in the same time with virtually identical needs and forms, tensions are reaching the snapping point. All hell could break out any minute. It is a powder keg out there. Are we to take to the same old solutions of our past, violence? Many are thinking it will be necessary. It will not be necessary. It will be folly so great it could be the end of all life.

Man has gone beyond. He has the power to harm everything. We ARE harming everything! This is something that scares the hell out of me. Not simply because we are killing and destroying, but because the powerful want to do something about it.

You would have to have just arrived here from Mars or some distant planet to be unaware of the vast and rampant pedophile atrocities going on around the world. It is something that spans all “classes” of people. But the rich are able to harm more children and have already been captured in commercial “clubs” of child molesters. Do you think the powerful people who could hurt children are just sitting idly by while mankind destroys the world? They are not. Fools who can’t resist the brainwashing that makes them use the words “conspiracy theorist” as a pejorative are minions. Unwitting victims of their own misplaced trust. Which is something that I deeply want to write about for it is one of the leading causes for the debacle we are bringing upon ourselves.

Instead of typing another round of polemics and explanations, I will simply call your attention to the Great Reset. Notice the similarity the name has to the Great Depression. Great is not used here in the sense of something good and positive. Sure, those who invented the term hope you will take it that way, but the term is used to relate the size, proportion, extent, and effect as well as the value they ascribe to it. As for the misplaced trust, one need but get a smattering of expression of one’s political views to know exactly what stations they watch and listen to. They go to the ones they trust. FOOLS! Why would you trust any of them? There is only one answer, you have been conditioned.

I hope to develop this more, but time bears down upon me. I hope you will try to take a step back and let love open your eyes. You can do it. You just have to truly want it and believe it can happen.

Not Capitalism or Socialism but Love

Not Capitalism or Socialism but Love

America is still arguing over capitalism and socialism. I see value in both. But I see both as undesirable, even evil. I have come to the conclusion that the argument is being set upon us like a harness. The arguments over capitalism and socialism, with some communism thrown in, are economics arguments that are more like fussing over which type of harness is best. The issue of liberty and rights is being obfuscated by economics arguments. Mankind has flourished despite wars and countless horrors so long there are over seven billion people. Peace is moments between wars, but those too are plagued with violence, hardship, injustice, arguments, and death. It has to stop. Now!

People are the problem. They don’t know what they are doing, but they keep doing it anyway. This planet is the generational ship that carries us all through space at speeds we are unable to duplicate. Generation after generation people come into life here and blink out like firefly lights. Relative to the universe, the time of the light is not long enough to illumine the way. Before a humans can develop significant consciousness, they die. Slowly over thousands of years they increase their number without increasing wisdom enough to stop kicking and nipping at each other as they pull the wagon like so many mules harnessed to it. If you can interpret their language, you can hear them arguing over which type of harness is best. It never even inters their minds that they have been trapped and harnessed to work like slaves at the hands of masters who are no more conscious than they are but have the reigns and the whip. Where they are driving the people is a mystery, but a mystery even to the people doing the driving. None can admit their ignorance and none dare let it be noticed. People are the problems because they like to think they know what they are doing and where we are going. Just a small burst of the light of truth would be enough to open the curtains and reveal the wonders and imbue the bliss that is there to be had.

The arguments about socialism and capitalism are all total nonsense. As if there are no other choices and man must take one or the other, people split themselves into passionate factions opposed to each other. Just a little light would reveal to anyone that both concepts of how to conduct an economy are unworthy of approval. Neither removes the harnesses strapped around the people. Neither pulls the team driver from the seat and puts him in the harness to help pull the wagon. This defines the real issue. It is not one of capitalism or socialism or even communism. It is one of power.

Great stone pyramids still stand to be marveled over by modern man. Minds boggle over the idea that great numbers of people were put to labor carving huge blocks from the stone and dragging them far away where they were ingeniously stacked to form pyramids that amaze mankind even today. None are immune to the amazement. They even marvel over the facts to be deduced from the pyramids. But that marveling fails them where it could benefit them most.

People have no trouble realizing that someone was able to get many thousands of people to build pyramids for them to be buried in. Monuments to ego and arrogance is what they are. But they testify to a division of people that is as old as humanity, maybe older. People have been divided since the beginning between those who drive and those who pull. I think it was a necessary period of experience, but the articulation of the details is not appropriate for this article. What is appropriate is the articulation of the details regarding the ancient division of people into masses who do the providing and those who receive it.

I have yet to encounter someone who has the least bit of difficulty realizing that the pharaohs got people to serve their every wish. They know that he received while the rest of the people provided. Likewise, I have yet to encounter someone who has translated the present to reveal the past. I grant that my experience of mankind is minute. I have met few of the billions. But the present tells me that people are still providing for those who receive. The people are still working to provide like slaves or like mules harnessed to a wagon that pulls the pharaohs. While people argue, fuss, and fight over economics systems, they do not notice that they are still harnessed to the pharaoh’s wagon. This is the one issue that matters.

Who out there is unaware of the people who have their own jets, yachts, mansions, and anything they want? The pharaohs no longer want stone monuments to be buried in. They want luxury and freedom from labor. I think everyone what that. They can have it, too, but only when they realize some obvious truths that have evaded them for thousands of years.

You must realize that there are people who have the power to force billions of people to serve them. I think a lot about the character of such people, but I know little or nothing that could reveal the truth about them. I can only speculate, and I keep speculation where it belongs, in the Unknowns column. It is enough to see that some get all they want and billions struggle to get by as they provide for those who have power over them.

I recently read in a book from 1914 about the socialism/capitalism argument the words, “the cost of living.” It hit me like a ton of garbage. Living does not cost anything. It may be difficult to realize this fact. So, think about it. How much does it cost to inhale? How much does it cost to take a seed, a fruit, or a leaf and eat? The cost of living is simply what someone demands of you. Who can demand it? It is so simple! The cost of living is being imposed on the people by those who have seized all that is needed to survive.

Recently people demonstrated hoarding that shocked the world. Fear of a pandemic caused people to gather all they could of commodities including, and astonishingly, toilet paper. It was soon unavailable. Of course, the unavailability was a simple supply and demand problem. There was never a real shortage. But that should be a lesson to mankind. When what we need is seized, there is none for the the rest. That is the trick that is as old as humanity. Simply take control of the land so that people have to come to you for even a place set their feet on the ground.

I want desperately to expound. It just seems to me that people could benefit by some understandings that they lack. None are living long enough to gain them. If people could live a few hundred years in good health without the plague of senescence, I think humans could become a blessing to the universe. Instead, we are still parasites, predators, blights, and pestilence. As a whole, we don’t know what we are doing. We keep going anyway. Something is stirring, though.

Mankind is young when compared to the time it took rain to carve the Grand Canyon. The domination of the people by some is old, but I have seen it. Many others have seen it. It is an awakening that promises beauty and wonders never even approached before. I think, and I am vigilant for arrogance and ego, that this writing is proof of the awakening. How could I write it if I didn’t know what to write? I don’t think I am alone or that I am something great because I can write it. I do, however, think I am lucky, blessed even.

I give all credit to love. Love came upon my fifty years ago and caused me something of a rebirth. The changes that happened in me made me happy beyond anything I have seen anywhere else. They brought me to God, eventually. But that is personal. The revealing of unseen facts is not. It is imperative that each one of us realizes that we are being controlled. There is no liberty. Freedom is actually a myth. We are all slaves. Even the ones who think they have power over the people because they live in fabulous luxury and leisure. We are all trapped in the legacies of our history and it is time to shuck off the harness that binds us to the past and find the love that history has incessantly told us we need.

Love is greater than socialism, communism, capitalism, democracy, monarch, or any other method ever tried. We have tried everything but love. Why? Well, that too is a topic too vast to answer here. We can all answer it, though. The truth will indeed set us free. Please realize that you were born into this world totally helpless and that you became what your experiences made you. All you experienced was the legacy of thousands of years. Let love give you a rebirth and become what you want. If it can happen to me, it can happen to you. Love is coming. Why not make it today?

Good People Commit Fraud

Good People Commit Fraud

It is becoming clear that volunteers who worked processing votes in the 2020 election were heavily involved in fraud designed to get Trump out of office. People have been made to think that Trump is so horrible they are willing to do anything to turn the results to Biden. The reports are astonishing. Read this article and/or watch the video.

This is not just a software fraud. It is not just Biden supporters committing fraud. I have little doubt that Biden was not being selected, but that Trump was being stopped. People can vote against a candidate by voting for the other candidate. They don’t have to like the other candidate. Simply hating and fearing a candidate can be enough to get people to vote for the other. It is obvious that the people who were involved in tabulating the votes or conducting to process in some other manner are just that sort of person. According to the man in the video, the volunteers conspired to make sure Trump did not win the election. In video recordings made by bystanders, they are clearly seen committing fraud against the people appointed to monitor the counting. That is an amazing human behavior, but there was more.

During the night trucks were arriving at the tabulation centers with trash bags full of ballots for Biden. The media has the power to make people commit crimes. The problems such people embody is staggering, but they are innocent. It is the media that is culpable.

Hate speech is being presented as just cause for censoring. Offensive statements are being touted as something that must be stopped. Political correctness is being enforced by civilians. This and much more is the work of the media. The media is the property of some very rich people. That is a conflict of interest. What is passing as news is agenda programming. The people who own the media set the agenda and all the well paid employees love their jobs. So, they go along. Some probably even think the agenda is a good one. That they manage to cooperate with the agenda of the owner is incriminating and flies in the face of the concept of government of the people. The owners are people, but that does not make what they do government of the people.

Media owners know better than most that how much power they have. The evidence that they hold the people in disdain is overwhelming. Could that be why they are working to defeat the power of the people? I think it is. I agree with them in many things including the opinion that the people are not reliable. They can’t be counted on to monitor the government well enough to execute the government as designed by the founders. But that is not because of them. It is because of the systems that overwhelm them every minute of every day. What systems, you ask. All of them. Take for example that the systems give some unfathomable wealth and everyone else has to do without and labor their lives away. It goes deeper and wider, but I don’t have time to go into it here. The people are good and wonderful. The rich who despise us are fools. I wonder sometimes if they too are victims of the systems. After all, the inherited them like we all did. Reason is sorely missing.

The volunteers who were counting the votes are just like everyone else. We all inherited the world as it was when we were born. They differ in one critical aspect, though. Many, maybe most, are regular watchers of the media. One can easily see who they are by simply sampling their opinions. The people who have to work all the time just to get by don’t watch the media much. The don’t expose themselves to the manipulation of the media enough to fall under the spell. The amount of media effort exerted to make Trump into a dangerous demon attempting eat the children went beyond all others. No period in history has seen such massive and widespread assault on the character of Donald Trump. That so many people went along with is terrible testimony against them, but not against their innocence. It is the power of the media that is guilty. All who cooperated with it are people who are less innocent.

I do not have a method that can be used to remedy the problems. I know that love would solve all our problems, but we need a way to remedy the problems the media presents before people finally attain love. Maybe just making it known that the media has spell casting power. If people would stop believing everything the media says and stop exposing themselves so much, maybe it would help.

The Media Spell

The Media Spell

Election fraud is not the biggest problem in this election. The way the media has made people fear Trump so deeply, to despise him passionately, is the real problem. Millions of otherwise smart people are sure to their souls that Trump is worse than Hitler. They see him as all sorts of despicable. I think they couldn’t be more wrong, but the grip the media has on them is almost impossible to break.
The world is being attacked by the media. The money they command is unholy. But the minds they command is worse. Even in as unlikely a place as Aerial America, a television show about the nation, a part about William Randolph Hurst included a brief mention of the fact that Hurst intended to control the nation using his newspapers. If people do not snap out of the spell they are under, we may be doomed.
Some very rich and powerful people think the world is being destroyed. They blame the population. They are right to a small extent, but they are wrong in a huge way. I think they are so caught up in their own psychology they don’t have the ability to reason. Some think they are disciple of Satan and have only evil intentions. Who knows? I do know that they are clamoring about climate change, pollution, the damage to nature, the depletion of resources, over-population, and many other things that put the likelihood of intentions to do something about it rather high.
If you see all that is happening, and if you can see what has happened, then add the possibility that the rich are trying to do something about the things they complain of so much, it all begins to make sense in a twisted way. I think that is what they are doing and that most of the bigger aspects of what is happening are sourced in exactly that place.
I could not be more passionate about the condition of the planet. I love all that live. My love is powerful and fulfilling. I want drastic changes in most of what humans do. I am not willing to kill them to stop them, though. I am not willing to enslave them to do it either. I will settle for nothing but love as the cure. Not because I am attached to my desire, but because I think it is the best way. I am attached to the truth. I plan to stay this way. Only love will save us. It is the truth and always has been. But this world is missing love to such an extent that history is a nightmare no bad dream can attain. It defies reason that billions of Christians do not love everyone. The causes of love’s absence can be traced back to the media. Its influence is that powerful.
I could write a book about the causes of human behavior, but I don’t want to. I want to do what I can to get people to detach from the media. They are under its spell. They trust it. Such a huge and terrible mistake seems impossible, but there it is. How else could someone be so sure that Trump is a racist, a misogynist, a white supremacist, narcissist, greedy, and all the other things they are so certain he is? They don’t know the man! They are taking the word of the media Trump denigrated and vowed to oppose. They have mislead millions of people. They continue to.
The COVID-19 hysteria is a media spell. The election debacle is a media spell. So many civilians are convinced that Trump is do dangerous and evil the poured out in droves to volunteer to help process the votes in the 2020 election. I don’t need the courts to tell me whether or not the volunteers cheated. It is obvious. I saw video recordings of them doing it. I have listened to witnesses testify to it. One witness testified to them meeting and rallying like combatants going to battle. They conspired in large groups to prevent the election from going to Trump. Why? Obviously that thought it was important enough to break the law and to put honor aside for what they saw as a greater cause. This is something the media is leaving out.
Talk radio, television, and internet content is leaving out the fact that millions of people have been made to think Trump is worse than Hitler. Even if they do not approve of the things he has done and didn’t do, there is no reasonable route to thinking Hitler was not as bad. It is pure nonsense and garbage. They hate and fear Trump because the media wants them too. That is all there is to it. So, why is none of the media, save this post, talking about it? The answer to that question demands an answer, but I don’t have time to try to write about it. It is too much for a post and the spell the people are under is impenetrable. They cannot be reasoned with and facts are not effective. The hate is so powerful it does what hate always does, make people irrational.
