HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED H1

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED H 1 Maybe I should write about something totally different, something less exciting, it is late at night (as usual), I most always write late at night, since I am doing something else all day. Are you proud that the Roe V Wade has been eliminated, it took a long time, a forty plus year campaign to over turn. To turn Reagan who signed the California abortion bill into law into a champion for the "unborn". But the cost has been immense, though the evangelicals will not acknowledge. The rich "conservative" #Republicans melded the anti abortion campaign with their campaign against the workers rights, the people that thought they were fighting for the "unborn" were scammed into pushing against the worker's, against #social safety net also, it was not just two birds with one stone, it was whole flock, people fighting against abortion were made also to fight against their own interests and the interests of the children and grand parents too. Be honest now, can you see how the scam has worked, you not only get to stop abortions. But also stop the #socialsecurity and #Medicare payments for grandma at the same time. Most Americans are only loyal to the whole agenda, they do not understand the nuances. But one goes with the other. You stop abortion you keep the wages lower, you do away with title 9 protections, you undermine the protections for the disabled. All of it. And what about the religious aspect. The #conservatives actually made a big tradeoff, don't look now, but they sacrificed one of the biggest pillars of "morality" for this win, and why I say that they were used by the #Republicans and their anti "average American" agenda. To go against abortions, the #conservatives had to agree to accept premarital sex, extra marital affairs and even "out of wedlock" babies. How could you be totally against abortion without accepting the consequences of not having an abortion or what caused the need for that abortion. If the woman could not have an abortion while at the sametime be shunned by the "conservatives", for having had an affair that would not work, so the #conservatives had to accept people "having affairs" and getting pregnant out of wedlock. So much for the higher moral grounds and "not judging". And overtime this led to them accepting Trump as their leader, forget about his divorces, and his affairs and his prostitutes. What moral standing do we have when we gave up so much more. Maybe over time we will again go back to shunning those that have a divorce, or have children out of wedlock, maybe we will go back to excommunicating those that have extra marital affairs, like we used to, back when morals actually meant something. Today we celebrate. I WILL WRITE MORE M. N. R. 28 JUNE 2022

FINAL THOUGHTS F2

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE FINAL THOUGHTS F2 I usually finish, or try to, an essay in one or two nights, most of us are not used to reading anymore, my apologies. I know most educated people still read, and that thos page is supposed to be "promoted" to people over 30, still. I like to read, I used to read a whole lot more. Now with my busy schedule and not being in a particular place all the time. I read on line, or listen to podcasts that will bore many to tears. We live in a semi-literate society, by our own admission, most people, even high school graduates can not write a letter on a piece of paper, can not balance a check book, can not spell words with more than five letters and so on, you know what I am talking about. At the same time we have a world that has so much information that that it is difficult to master even one subject, therefore we have "specialties" in medicine, in physics, in chemistry, in Psychology, even in banking. At the same time, we have people that feign at being an expert on everything. Strange. They know everything about inflation, the medicine, the economy, the microbiology, the infectious diseases, nothing slides by them. People throw around "psychological" terms as they are the experts, and then talk about transportation in the next sentence as if they know all the ins and out of that field also. Relax, no harm in listening, pick up the Bible, people even argued with Jesus for Christ's sake. Let go back to freedom just for now. Throughout the history man ( the individual) has become more free, has been given more rights than before. We don't enslave the "debtors", we don't take the children of the people that owe us money (unless you owe a student loan). Magna Carta was written in 1215, UN declaration of Human rights in 1948, American slaves were freed in 1865, British Colonies earned their freedoms in the 60s, heck we even gave the American women the right to vote in 1920, finally! Even though men still like trophy wives, and like to think of women as they were called in the south, "heifers". (Term of endearment?) But! Isn't it ironic? During our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, we gave many reasons (excuses) for our long occupation, without going into details, for a time atleast, one of the reasons we gave was to "restore human rights and freedoms and to help women gain their rights and freedoms, that their women shouldn't be oppressed by the men and the strict religious doctrines. And what about the women and girls in our own country? What rights, what freedoms, what freedom from religious oppression? I understand that the #SCOTUS has allowed ban on abortion, fine, but if you have been listening closely to those that have been pushing for this ban, they have been holding the women responsible for their pregnancy, only. Listening to the #conservative #Republican arguments, we can not ignore the fact that they blame the women, even a young victims of rape or incest as the responsible party. Will this lead to a total control over women's sex life? Will America become a Talibam controlled nation like Afghanistan or Iran are? Will women be told how to dress. It doesn't seem like a farfetched idea. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 27 JUNE 2022

FINAL THOUGHTS F1

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE FINAL THOUGHTS F1 It's been a slow day, a long day, a hot day , if you dared venture outside. I don't go outside much, with history of two strokes, diabetes and high blood pressure, I am careful. I like cold weather much more, as long as itbis above the teens. You can see my name, you can look at my profile, my name actually doesn't reflect my faith or my beliefs. Someone actually asked me today why I came here and became a citizen, there is only one true answer, if you will. My family is well off, I am probably the least well off among my siblings and cousins, none of them live in America, I was in country where the government was religious and I was not, it didn't work out too well, all I can say on that. I got to travel, got be free, I could grow my hair out long, wear Western clothes, even had an ear pierced and wore an ear ring. Watched American TV, American movies and so much more. I read western novels, studied psychology, the #Constitution, the history, the politics, comparative religions, and so much more, many many things I couldn't have done before. We like to call ourselves "free", but what is "freedom"? What is it good for? What you are using it for? I mean I can also go to a concert, go to a church, any church if I like, read any book, watch any movie, study any subject , eat a steak, go to the beach, I carry, I drive a truck, and a Prius also. So what is freedom and what you have done with it or plan to do? And who is stopping you? Don't we always say it is the freest country in the world. What are you doing with your freedom? It is sad really. Before you understand freedom you have understand that you are in a prison. Most of us don't know, we know that we are free because we have been told that we are free, next time cop pulls you over just explain that to him or her. Most humans have no idea what freedom is. And wouldn't know how to live if we're totally free. We have jobs, we have families, we have mortgages and credit cards, and so on, whatever you want add or subtract. Takes me back to two things, does a goldfish in a bowl know it is imprisoned? And also , does the fish know what is water? No, we don't understand. An elephant is chained, after a while it becomes used to idea as to how far he can go, he stays, he doesn't wander off even if the chain is removed, you get the idea. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N.

FINAL THOUGHTS G2

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE FINAL THOUGHTS G2 So, earlier today I posted video, it's an hour long but very informative, if you haven't, please go watch it. It is the history of our country. About how the elite have been trying to keep the poor, "the lower classes" poor and under control. No it is not about black and white, slave vs free, it is about the white elite keeping the poor whites down. Refusing to help uplift the poor, to educate, to feed the poor. It is about the rich and the powerful oppressing the poor whites, from taking their lands to disenfranchisement, to even sterilizing the poor women. It's an eye opener, and it is also a window into the future, if you will. I will put a link to the video at the bottom. I have been saying for a long time, it is not about the liberal and conservative, not about the Democrats vs Republicans, it is about power and control and keeping the masses fighting, keeping there attention away from the reality. In America today there are roughly 2 billionaires per million of population. If they were interested in providing better living conditions for the workers, better Healthcare or education we wouldn't be where we are, the idea that they care about the poor is perverse. It is not just the USA, the world over, the super rich don't care about the masses, there are billionaires in India, in Pakistan, in Mexico and Brazil, and so is abject poverty, hunger and disease. Making money doesn't make you a better or caring human being, What is worse is what is happening to worker's rights, if the policy is to bring back manufacturing then we must also make labor cheap, we must also have minimally educated and minimally trained labor force, no wonder the education is being pushed back while training in trades is promoted. It is late, past my bedtime I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE 13

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE 13 I have waited, every single day for the next shoe to drop. For someone, anyone to present a incontrovertible proof of wide scale cheating or manipulation of the presidential election. I have waited for the Italians to confess, for Biden to be exposed, for the "Deep State" to be exposed. I am waiting, I hope you are also. I said do not embarrass your gods, do not invoke any deities hoping they will just change the numbers on the sheets and the computers. All those "prophets" made their gods look powerless. Don't. You just make them angry, don't say they talk to you, when they don't. Now we wait for a bigger confrontation, I hope these people understand what they are getting Into. Many of the protesters have been arrested, many more have lost their jobs, others placed on terrorist watch lists. Trump is not thinking about them, they lost, Trump like people that don't lose. Even if he pardons these, the next batch, if there is one will not be so lucky. If Trump is not inaugurated, the next administration will definitely go after these people, their organizations and their guns and their finances. Stay cool. Even if nothing else happens these groups will be broken up and their leadership at least will be dealt with. In my articles on "Deep State" and "Conspiracy Theory" I had stated that IF there is a deep state then Trump was a used, he played right into the hands of the deep state, making them more powerful and even exposing their enemies. I also stated that Qanon was likely a product of such deep state to confuse the opposition and having them running on wild goose chases, or more like a dog chasing his tail. There was no end to crap being put out by Qanon, the bogus claims, the head scratching "revelations". What did you get? Easiest person to fool is the one that has more self confidence than knowledge, like Trump even. Trump had a chance to expose the "deep state" four years, what you think? M. N. R. 11 JANUARY 2021

CONNECTING THE DOTS 1A

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE CONNECTING THE DOTS 1A Starting a new headline, this may not become a long series of essays but I am not promising anything. So I did finish watching the Matrix, IV , Resurrections, it is way to long and slow to make the point, other than that if liked part 2 and 3, you will endure. The question still remains, the question I have talked about so many times, "what is reality", what is real, and isn't reality made up, created in our imagination as we desire. We are silly, human beings, we are always so sure that we "know", we "understand", and still we take a kind waitress or a counter person to be flirting while they are just doing their jobs. And that is the least of it. But! We are so left, right, we are so Democrat and Republican that we totally forgot what being an American even means, and that is by design, and it has been done to us on purpose, how is that for a "Conspiracy Theory". And I have spent my last twenty years explaining and warning. Even the people that are being paid to inform us are part of the Conspiracy themselves. Earlier today I posted a quote from none other than "Thomas Sowell" about telling the truth, I wish he understood what that quote means. We are being mislead and deceived because we like it that way, and also that we don't know any better, we are told what we want to hear, and we want to hear it because we have been told that it is whatbwe want, left or right we are programmed. We talk about, always, about how free we are, how we can do what we want, and for that, we don't want better education, cheaper healthcare, better culture, peace, affordable housing, nome, we are free, free to choose to be screwed over. We are living in the "future" , a future that we would not even know how to exist without, yet we yearn to go back, not just back to the 20th century mind you, we want to go back to the stone age, literally. Really. Hollywood has not only " promoted the gay agenda" Hollywood has made us believe that we could "thrive" in stone age", just don't call it as being brainwashed. What is our reality? Really! Do you belive that the ultra rich and the corporations want you to be free, independent, have privacy and choice? Isn't that what you worry about losing? But we give all our data to the corporations, they know what we watch, what we eat, how big our house is what car we drive, how many kids we have and what cereal our kids eat, so time to wake up and realize that we are dreaming. And what about population control, well we will talk about that too. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 24 JUNE 2022

RANDOM PSYCHOLOGY 133

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE RANDOM PSYCHOLOGY 133 A CONSPIRACY THEORY (AGAIN) A few months before the presidential election last year, I did a series of articles on "conspiracy theories", the noise about an election was to be stolen unless a certain candidate won, the 800 thousand missing children a year in the US, about baby eating cabal, the deep state etc. I did my best to clarify what was in the realm of possibilities and what was definitely not. The more usable and correct knowledge you have the better the possibility that you can separate the wheat from the chaff. That is one of the reasons when I started this (my third blog), I started it with articles on "knowledge" and "reason" and "logic". The more one knows the less the chances of one being duped. We have ways been surrounded by the "conspiracy theories", the grassy knol, the pre knowledge of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Red Scare, all the way up to and including , 9/11 was an inside job, and Sandy Hook was fake. Believe what you like. And it is not just the semi literate that fall for some outrageous lies, Oprah was sold on the "Secret", people think wrestling is real and that Dr Phil is a psychologist, that Dr. Oz is legit, and then we have the Scientologists. I rest my case. Not really, MORE TO FOLLOW THEN BACK TO MORE OF 132 The page has restricted distribution, please like and share if you will, comment and let's talk, thank you M. N. R. 17 JUNE 2021

FINAL THOUGHTS G 1

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE FINAL THOUGHTS G 1 I should write something else, but I want to get this off my chest 1st. There is a difference between sanity and insanity, logical and illogical, there are two sides to every coin. If we are only looking for differences, we will never come to common grounds in anything, ask your partner. We are "one notion", start from this point and always come back to this sane point. Now Everything you and I own is thanks to 1st, the government spending, and then 2d the FED, doesn't matter who you are or what you do, if you don't understand then you don't understand economics, no matter how many degrees you have. There are two genders, how you act, what you feel about yourself is NOT a gender, you can be queen, gay, experimenting, even unsure and undecided the fact doesn't change. You can choose you pronouns, you can choose your outfits, you can do any makeup, others are not bound to follow your rules that you make up for yourself. You can choose your religion or have none. Same rules apply, read them again. You can dress anyway you want at school or at work, just don't cover your face and do not bare your privates. I am gun owner, I am licensed to carry, I am always armed but you will never know. Never see. You don't need an AR or something similar to go to Walmart, trust me, if you carry an AR you don't shop at Tiffany's. And if you need more than one round to take out an active shooter, you need some training, you will kill the innocent instead. Think tactical. You are not the next John Dick! Most everyday killers only have one gun and one magazine, and they think they are Rambo, guns don't make a man, a man knows how to use a gun, properly. This a free country, everyone of us has a right to be free, don't make rules for others to live by, you will die angry, chill! Turn of the TV, turn off the cell phone. There are people making millions by making you think and act in unproductive ways. Stop buying junk to impress others, where we all are going, no checked baggage is allowed. Elon Musk will take as much change with him as I will. Stop being impressed by other people's money, they are a bigger conman you or will ever be. Ever eat at the Golden Coral? See how people eat, they are no different than the average billionaire. A thug shooting at a party is not less moral than a Congress person, they just kill the hapless in different ways, by different methods. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 22 JUNE 2022

FINAL THOUGHTS F 2

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE FINAL THOUGHTS F 2 It is said that to be able to function properly, one must be able to carry two totally opposite ideas in their head. Or something like that, most of us do even if we say that we don't. Don't take it personal, we all do. If you are new here, welcome, and if you have or decide to follow my page, thank you, hope you like and stay, and hope you leave a comment or a critique and we can talk. How do we "all" carry opposite ideas in our heads, I will explain later but as always I invite you to think about what os in your head. How you own thoughts are in conflict, one with the other and yo I decide either to ignore one, or may be speak about one as if the other doesn't exist. We do it about our politics, economy, culture and even about our own belief systems. But that is topic for later, not tonight. It's been a long day, and it is past midnight and I am still up. I should get some rest but! It was a long day, Father's day, BTW a very happy father's day to everyone who has a father (in some way). I drove 130 miles, one way, to go see my eldest child, her husband and their two sons, the older is almost three and the baby is just two months old, I am very lucky man. I haven't had the radio on my car for almost eight years now, no CDs, no podcasts, I drive and I spend my time thinking, mostly, sometimes my mind is quiet, and I am spaced out ( as they say). BTW, on here I don't profess a religion, I don't say what I believe, I don't say I am religious or pious, what I believe is my business, as what you believe is yours. I was talking about two opposing thoughts, and I thought, well I tried to figure out life and death, what is death? No one knows, we have some stories we are told that we believe in. Some believe that life is just is, we die and "game over", others believe that we go on living in another realm. Question that came to my mind was that, if we leave the the body and at the same instant we "start" to live in a different realm, then how did we "die", and if we did not "die" per se, then what is death actually? Also there are some that believe in a life in a different realm but also believe that while in this "different" realm we still keep in "contact" with this world and "watch over" those that we leave behind, how is that probable since death means a "disconnect" from this " world". So which is it? And does our calendar also apply in the "next reality" so that we can celebrate birthdays and anniversaries fir those that are no longer in "existence" in this realty? What do you think? Are we just knowingly fooling ourselves, do you think this appropriate? I told my daughter that I wanted to a take few ( a couple) of pictures with the family so the children will have something to look back at, she was busy and totally forgot. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M.

FINAL THOUGHTS F 1

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE FINAL THOUGHTS F 1 I think, therfore I am full of it! I think that I think, constantly, still trying to make sense of life, make sense of things. Always connecting the dots, seeing patterns, in thoughts, in people, in Psychology. There is nothing random, everything has a meaning, a purpose, a pattern. I know a little physics, basic stuff, particles, smaller than atoms, quantum particles, quantum mechanics explains life, quantum mechanics explains human existence, human behaviors, explains reality better than anything. My eldest daughter knows that I loved the movies " the Matrix", not because it is a science fiction, not because of guns and mayhem, but it is a spiritual movie, movie about human mind, our relationship to the world and to reality. And as it is in quantum mechanics, reality is malleable. Reality changes when observed, and I guess it changes according to who is doing the observing. So she bought me the "The Matrix Resurrections" as my father's day present, it is on my Amazon prime, it will take me a few weeks to watch the whole movie, and then a few more watch it again, I don't watch much TV , I don't have much time. "Choice is an illusion". People want to revolt, we wait for a civil war, we want a civil war, against the system that has made us what we are, who we are. This is not the first time I have talked about "the Matrix", or "Inception", or "Predestination" and some other movies, or TV shows. All we have, all that we see, all that we own was made by "the System" that we want to overthrow, our houses, our businesses, our food supply, everything you and I "own" was created by "the same system", we also corrupted it. We ignored the signs, the warnings, the admonitions. Now we look for someone else to blame for the mess. We don't want the "red pill", reality is painful. Don't blame others before you have thought about how you and I have benefited from it. BTW it is hot during summer time, really. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 17 JUNE 2022

INTO THE ABYSS 181 b

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 181 b I do not really wish to start an argument, the truth does not require a support mechanism. Facts are facts. And denial is also real. If one has to hem and haw, to look for exceptions (excuses), to justify their stance then we can assume that they know the truth but want to justify why they are not willing to recognize it. I could talk about how the left is screwed up, how the liberals are wrong, how they are so off the mark in their beliefs, and I have been talking about it since Maddona was still in her diapers. But, give me a chance. I am not some way out there freak, I consider myself to be rational and moderate, more than anything I balance my opinions, I can see what is right and what is wrong. I respect your opinions and views, but you nor I are the standard. Through out the recorded history there have been universal truths, as in different cultures and societies, in different place , even different continents have reached the same conclusions. Lying, cheating, stealing, and murder are wrong everywhere. A lie is a lie, even the ten commandments prohibit lying, it does not make any exceptions. Both the liberals and the conservatives lie, that is politics, hiding the truth is also a lie "in and of itself". In any dogma that we follow, the leader wants to be in control, slowly the dogma takes on a life of its own, its survival and its life depends on controlling the lives of its followers, the more obedient one becomes the more restrictive the dogma becomes, it want more submission, more sacrifice, more commitment, and most followers will obey, blindly. I am old military guy, and I know how well it works. It works in any organization, no exceptions. No denying it. Just look at how it works at your work place, your golf club, in your bowling league, in your biker club, or the most obvious one. Over twenty years ago I had warned, "economics is not a science and politics is not a religion" , just see where we are today. (The paragraph below was posted elsewhere earlier) Most people should have been paying attention for the last 40 plus years, we had an economy based on debt, every "recovery" based on even more debt. We kept the wages low to help the "corporations" while making people collect welfare to be able to live. Low wages also meant that #SocialSecurity" contributions fell below the outlays, increases in "medical" costs broke #Medicare, it didn't happen overnight, it will take a long time to fix, if ever, no one today is willing to accept any sacrifice or a lower standard of living, the plan is going exactly as thought. We are looking for someone else to blame for what happened while we were all sleeping at the wheel, a civil war is not gonna fix, it will just be a part of the agenda of reducing population. Now Lindsay Graham and Rick Scott want your parents and grandparents to starve and die penniless, wake the hell up. M. N. R. 16 JUNE 2022 I WILL WRITE MORE SOON

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 181 A There is so much we should talk about, so much I want to say, nothing that is aimed at you in person, I never say anything to hurt a particular person's feelings, I talk un generalities, don't get offended, being offended or taking things personally destroys a conversation, let's talk, but don't take it personal, put your feelings aside. I'll probably keep this short, it's been a long day, and this man is tired. Once again, it is not an attack on anyone. Let's talk, "you" here doesn't mean "YOU"! I have talked about us taking ourselves as " better" , no matter the status, no matter the achievements or lack thereof, whether we are an executive or in prison, a thief, a murderer, a shoplifter, unemployed, whatever our station in live, we are "proud", we are special, aren't we? You don't have to believe me, just look around, it is the attacks and abuse of others, doesn't matter who, it is a methhead attacking a cop, it is a cop killing an unarmed person in his back, it is a cashier abusing a customer, it is a customer abusing store workers, it is fired employee killing coworkers, it is Ted Cruz abusing airlines agent, it is Biden being rude to the press and Trump telling his followers to beat up hecklers. Nope, we are all the same, all of us, no exceptions. But it is just the starting point. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 15 JUNE 2022

HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED H2

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED H2 Please read part 1 of this at the link in 1st comment. I got my Bachelor's in Management at 32, and Master's in Psychology at 38, you can call me a late bloomer, or experienced in life. For the last many years I have been observing the economy, the politics and the Psychology of humans. Ever try to give a toddler some medicine, say for a cold or a fever, they run, they don't like the idea. It is nothing more than a toddler's ego, he/she wants to say no to you, no reason, but it the will of the child to show you that they don't have to listen to anyone, right or wrong. Years ago, I had used the example of the movie "Inception", you plant an idea in a person's head and the idea takes root and grows, until the person internalize the idea and makes it their own. We use "propaganda" for the same purpose, and the masses follow. And in case of "hypnotism" the person "volunteers" to be implanted with an idea. Earlier today, I post a verse from the Duran Duran song, "you pay the prophets, to justify your reasons". Ironic, I don't really know what they thought of the line, but, we go to church to listen to the preacher, mostly for the same, "to justify" our actions or decisions, and we go to the psychologists, we listen to the politicians, all the same, to satisfy our egos, to make us feel "right" in whatever it is that we feel, or we do. It is all about having our egos stroked, right or wrong. No one wants to admit that they are wrong, that they were conned, no one wants to feel stupid, we actually dig our heels in. Just like a toddler refusing to take medicine. We know, it is not always some stupid people that get conned, Bernie Madoff clients were rich, very rich. Frank Abagnale conned hospital and airline executives. There is no shame in admitting one is wrong, but it is that "ego" thing. If we the people should have the power, then should the power be with all or a few, and if with a few then what does the word "democracy" mean? And what is the meaning of "insurance", be it health, fire, floods, auto or home, is insurance itself not basically "socialist"? We get lost, going of on tangents, and we are conned at every step. We need to learn more. I WILL WRITE MORE M. N. R. 15 JUNE 2022

HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED h 1

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED h 1 I have said this many times before, may be I should just add it to every post I make. The platform shows that I have over 4k followers, I hope there will be many more, and I know over the years, I have probably made enough people angry that maybe just as many have unfollowed the page also, so you like it here, please do share post, articles or the page itself, thank you. I don't pretend to be perfect, I don't claim to be religious or even moral, many may pretend, I do not. That bar is really high and many will come short, I do not point fingers, I want you to judge yourself. Always. So, if you disagree with something I did not myself write, post your argument, I will try to explain my point of view, but I will not start a war over it, sometimes I post things I personally do not agree with, and I read the comments, to me it is not about likes or dislikes, it is about walking a mile in another man's shoes. We live in a "interconnected world ", we choose to do so, we can always become hermits, but if we must coexist, we must learn also to live with "those others". I have l lived in four different countries, as in "lived" not just visiting. I speak four languages, and somehow I have also lived in four different states. People are the same everywhere, all over the world, and we all tend to live in over own little worlds, unaware of the actual realities, and unable to withstand any changes. Ask anyone that lived through the depression how it effected their lives and did they ever get over it. We assume a lot, the world over, everyone knows they are smart, even in the streets of Manilla and Hong Kong, Karachi and Kabul, Frankfort and New York, there are hustlers and conmen, just as they are in state houses and DC, In the police stations and on the block. But we forget, we are the system, we are where we are because we learned the game, we took advantage of the same system that we so hate and wish to overthrow. And the ones we wish to overthrow will watch us from far away and get a good laugh, suckers. I WRITE MORE, SOON, Please give Tha page a like if you will and let's talk M. N. R. 13 JUNE 2022

HISTORY IN CONTEXT K2

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE HISTORY IN CONTEXT K2 Well it didn't work out like anyone had planned. I had thought that the US and her partners will let Ukraine fall, as we have done in other countries where we went to promote freedom and democracy. We have a long and illustrious history of bringing democracy and freedom through revolutions, bribery and outright assassinations. Yes. Come to think of it, we had also sponsored the "Orange revolution" in Ukraine itself. Overthrowing the elected government in favor of a one that was faovered by the Nazis and White Supremacists. To be honest, today, in no country in the world there is such a thing as a "free and fair election", not even in the USA. The elections are manipulated by big money, the big money promotes the candidates that will do their bidding and fight for "there" interests above all else. So both the US and her allies poured money into Ukraine just the Russians were making deals and concessions to gain influence. It is not about freedom or democracy, not about human rights. Bad luck for Ukraine that it is rich in natural resources and the land is supremely fertile. Whoever can gain the control of its resources can make money, real money. If the US and her allies "capture" the government, our own oligarchs and corporations make money. It is also not about the "history" which is just a point of convenience to give your arguments some validity. As anywhere else , we choose to use or ignore such arguments. (US would not ever say that we have occupied the "Indian lands" illegally, so that is not an argument. And what if you are a member of the jury, and the DA and his lawyers decide to hide the "facts", or you fall asleep during arguments, you ignore the evidence, in the jury room, you forget the facts of the case to the point that you don't even know what to ask for, or what you are looking at. In most instances, people tend to believe what matches their own expectations or desires, or we fall to listening to and giving more weight to the case presented by the "authorities". Time after time, we fell for the line about Iraq, about Chile, about Indonesia, about Panama. No wonder the government is confident that they can blow some up our skirts. But Ukraine is different, and it is not just the possible IMF loans, the stocks of defense contractors, the contracts for building what is being turned to rubble everyday. I had mentioned previously, after the gulf War, after Iraq, after withdrawal from Afghanistan, why we spend hundreds of billions on "intelligence" and still have nothing to show for it, we fail every time. Sure we are "helping" Ukraine, we are arming them, we don't even ask how many are dying there, So far, we have avoided the feared WW3, we have not put troops on the ground there, and Putin has not used nukes. But we and the people all over the world, are paying for our war of choice, everyone around the globe has been hit by higher prices, the gas prices are at a record, and climbing, food shortages increasing, and people in the poorest of nations have already started dying of starvation.

HISTORY IN CONTEXT K1

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE HISTORY IN CONTEXT K1 We all know about what is called a "jury nullification", where the jury deliberately ignores the evidence and reaches a not guilty verdict. It happens more often than we think, as when OJ or Casey Anthony were found not guilty, as when police officers are not convicted, as when the rich folk with powerful lawyers are set free. Would we "ourselves" do something like it? Evidence suggests that we already do, we sleep in the jury boxes, we doze off, we ignore the facts, and that makes us "the jury" as criminal as the perpetrator. But I digress, we are not a jury here, we are busy with our own lives and we have very short memory, heck I know a person that married the same person, four times. We have relationships with people, sexual or business, that are known to be "trouble" known to be bad news. There is story of "Sara" she was married 7 times and each time her new husband was killed by a demon, yet there came Tobit. Maybe I am getting of track, bear with me. There is a theory in physics about "parallel univerese", and "alternate reality", then there was another recent theory about "alternate truth". There is a recent movie, I haven't seen it, but it sounds interesting, I probably won't like it, I don't like much science fiction, it is always more fiction than it is science, to me reality is much more fascinating than fiction. I talk often about "connecting the dots", in life that means remembering facts, remembering history, and seeing the outcomes, and again remembering. If it is true that there are "parallel universes", and there are "alternative realities", then it is easy to understand why we are where we are, why we can argue about things since what happened in your "reality" may not have happened in mine. Or is it that we have programmed ourselves to see things differently, no matter the facts, no matter the evidence, no matter the history. If facts "ARE" facts, if "truth" is unimpeachable, then what is the truth? And Clinton had famously said, what "IS" "IS". And we argue endlessly, because we don't live in the same reality, point taken, we are so far removed from history. The German philosopher Georg Hegel famously said, “The only thing that we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.” but we could, we should, we must. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N.

FINAL THOUGHTS e 2

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE FINAL THOUGHTS e 2 Earlier somewhere, I talked about time, distances and the "size" of the universe. Numbers so huge that we can not fathom, can not understand and can not relate. No matter how great a scientist you are, you have no idea what a "Planck", oh you have a number, but can you actually visualize it. There are billions of galaxies withe trillions of stars, can you understand what all that means? I like to think, I like to imagine. Our thoughts are corrupted by our knowledge and understanding, or lack of these. How do you, how can you understand a problem if you insert your "self" into the problem and also into the solution too. By this, we fail to fully understand the problem and also fail to come up with an honest opinion or a solution. It becomes about us, we become the problem. In as much as that the problem can only be defined by us and also we must like the, and approve of the solution. Left or right, liberal or conservative we are not free of fault, our understanding is always questionable, it must be. The universe doesn't care, whether we live or die, get rich or be poor, whether we destroy ourselves as a spices or evolve into an "intelligent life form", for all the evidence that we have , we are really not that smart, yes, you and I both. I was talking about solving the problems of humanity. Earlier in my writings I had quoted from the scriptures the parable of Moloch, (if you are a believer than you can say it is the word of God, that is fine too). The parable says that we should not sacrifice our children to Moloch, to me it means that we should not be so worried about money and worldly goods that we destroy the future of our children. Fact of history I had noted was that over the generations the wealth does not remain. But we have come to believe that money is everything, it the "all" that there is. And going back to solving problems, everyone that we know, from the city council to the state house, to Congress and the Whitehouse, the "industry leaders" to the military generals, they all say that only they can "solve the problem", and only they are the solution. Stop! Think! If they are, if they have , why are the problems not being solved? Whatever "your" solution is, I am listening. I WILL WRITE MORE M. N. R. 09 JUNE 2022

FINAL THOUGHTS e 1

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE FINAL THOUGHTS e I made it to 70, that is old news now, did it change anything? Probably not. Or may be I'll admit what changed as I go along. I really never gave much thought to what anyone else thought, felt or said, feelings get hurt, but who cares? Not me, do you though? Ask yourself, be honest. Look again in the mirror, as I always say. I post things, different things, some that I agree with, many others that I know (to the best of my knowledge) that are misleading, sometimes outright lies, facts that are twisted, things I don't agree with, and I watch for reactions, likes, dislikes and the comments too. I don't know everything, I am always learning, for better or for worse, if my mind stays, I will still be learning as I die. Isn't death itself a lesson also, so much we learn only as we die, how that works? We don't know till the end. Maybe we learn somethings things only after we are dead. A few that already know everything there is to know, I like those the best, so sure, so confident, so aggressive, I am always humbled due to lack of my knowledge. I have questions, I was listening to someone say, the biggest problem we have is that "we don't know what the question is", if we knew what the next question should be we could learn everything". What is the next question, when you already know everything? Life is short we say, then what do we do with it, when we know all there is to know. We have solutions to whatever it is. Yet we have solutions, yes we do. Peace, hunger, war, globalization, trade deficits, poverty, taxes, bad roads, bad schools, and people that are not like us or people that we don't like, only we could just get rid of everyone that disagrees with us, see, all the problems solved. But isn't that the same as the "new world order", as the "population control", as the "depopulation agenda", or whatever the conspiracy of the day is. I WILL WRITE MORE M. N. R. 09 JUNE 2022

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 183 b Do we dare look at ourselves in the mirror, is the person in the mirror the same as we project ourselves to others. We live artificial lives, we play a role, we wear a "mask", so that we are acceptable to others. As much as we talk about "to be real", in all its forms, we search for "real" while being fake. Ones character doesn't determine his chances at winning the "lottery", the character is seen what they do after they have won that said lottery. Not everyone gets to join the military, or to serve as a policeman, or be elected to an office, what matters is how the behave when they are in that position. But, not everyone can win the lottery, not everyone can be you, but how you act can and does affect everyone, on the planet. Whether you are born rich or poor, white, black or other, smart or dumb, educated or uneducated, whether your parents were loving or abusive, did they work or were on drugs, it is all a Parr of the lottery, dumb luck, chance, you or I had nothing to do with it, didn't make the choice, didn't earn the privilege, settle down. It does not make you better than anyone, what you do with it, how you act what you do to/for others, is where it matters, and no, your religion is similarly a matter of "chance", how religious you are depends on how you were groomed. Or as it is sometimes, how badly you failed and found an escape. I WILL WRITE MORE M. N. R. 06 JUNE 2022

INTO THE ABYSS 183a

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 183 a About two years ago, I discussed my time in the military, talking about honor, discipline, morals and courage. Actually almost ten years ago I had distilled a phrase, " there is no honor, without courage, no faith without honesty, and no knowledge without study". But then, it is what it is. I used to watch the old cowboy movies, read western novels, there were always talks about honor, and fairness and treating people right. I have watched the "Godfather" series probably half a dozen times, the last couple of years the only TV I have watched was "Breaking Bad", and "Better call Saul", now if you want to learn about honor or justice these are the shows that you can learn something from. How do you learn anything about "character" or "morals" from "gangland", you can though, if you pay attention, you cam also learn about loyalty, honesty, fairness and justice. The real life today is not as far from these as we believe, near the end of episode 5, season 5, Frig and Mike are talking, Mike brings up the issue of "who is right" between to gangs of drug dealers. Who is right? When a drug dealer supplies drugs and gets someone hooked we call him a criminal, but when a company sells alcohol or cigarettes, or oxytocin they are billion dollar "businesses" and they can visit the White House and be honored by the leaders of our nation. We have higher taxes on beer than $2000 bottles of wine, who cares. We get in trouble as a nation when we call the same thing moral or immoral depending upon who is doing it. We accuse others of the same delinquencies that we laud our own about. How can we make progress when we call the same thing right and wrong at the same time. In my estimation all politicians are crooks, at all levels, and we do not recognize this fact we are in trouble. I WILL WRITE MORE M. N. R. 05 JUNE 2022

HISTORY IN CONTEXT J2

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE HISTORY IN CONTEXT J2 So you say that we are a free country, we have a democracy, we have laws and the law makers that are looking out for us, the "supply chain" interruption will cause the manufacturing to be brought back. You are also fooling yourself. Yes there are loud noises about the "supply chain" but what are the solutions, where are they, and how this undermines the "globalization efforts", or disrupts the plans of the "new world order". Will we have a "new world order"? The "new world order" actually already exists, whether you see it or not, or believe that it has been disrupted. If we look at the fact that the #SCOTUS has already passed the law that the corporations are people and that money is free speech, then you must also understand that the corporations with unlimited of money also OWN the government through their right to "free speech". And the corporations use their "free speech" to buy law makers. Now imagine a "Wal-Mart" with all of its products "made in America", or even "Amazon" or "Lowes", it can't happen, most Americans today don't have the income to afford the American made products, because the labor costs will be higher, we will have to build new factories, and train people and pollute the country to boot. We will have to raise wages even more for the trained workers, and the costs will spiral. The reason we can keep the wages low also is because most of of current jobs require minimal skills, and minimal education, no wonder we have such low education standards. So it is not that simple and straightforward. Our government policies are not made to help the average citizen, they are made to increase the corporate profits. Also the corporations have large influence over the governments overseas, be it China, Germany or Japan or the Philippines and Pakistan, so the new world order is already functioning, and it has nothing to do with the United Nations, don't be fooled or distracted. The United Nations is about as useful as the "--'xxxx on a whatever", United Nations is not coming to take over the US government, our government is owned by our own oligarchs. And Elon Musk is not going to save the country. I WILL WRITE MORE M. N. R. 05 JUNE 2022

HISTORY IN CONTEXT J1

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE HISTORY IN CONTEXT J1 It has been six weeks since I talked about the Ukraine "issue". It was back when we were celebrating the demise of Russian invasion and the end of Putin. Victory of Ukraine was just days away and Putin was to be thrown out of office. Well, so far, none of it has happened, Russian operations still continue, Ukrainians are still dying, Zelensky is still in power. Or whoever is paying him. IMF is making money, our defense contractors are getting richer. Ukrainian towns and cities and their infrastructure is being destroyed, who cares, Blackrock group will "build back better". Who said it will be easy or cheap to establish the "new world order", the cost of food is up, the cost of energy too, a n d whatever else you want to buy, even the damn beer cost more. Of course we blame Biden ( he is guilty BTW), but Biden is just a puppet, as is every single American president, as are all the governments in the world actually, and you thought you are free, free to worry about school shootings, about abortion, about gun control, of course you don't know much. I wish I had time to get to some point. There are so many that are talking about the end of "globalization", about bringing the manufacturing back, about "wet dreams" of the ill informed, wishful thinking. While we complain about inflation, millions around the globe face starvation, while we complain about the high gas prices, millions around the globe are being pushed into permanent poverty, all thanks to our little misadventure in Ukraine, AND THE DANGER OF A NUCLEAR WAR STILL LOOMS. There are 56 million millionaires in the world, also there are over 3 billion people with a net worth of less than 10,000, actually the bottom 2 billion plus probably don't own anything. We say that we are against the "New world order" but the "new world order " already has been established and is working, we just don't see it because no one talks about it, we will see it. We will talk more M. N. R. 03 JUNE 2022

HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED g

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED g I ask us to evaluate ourselves, basically that is one of the hardest things to do. Back in the day when the communities were much smaller, everyone knew everybody, and their business, today we can hide. Even in smaller communities people don't know eachother all that well, so we learn to "act" in a certain manner to be socially accepted. It is not suffering from "multiple personality disorder", as some people like to identify themselves to be suffering from, it is just that we have learned act differently in different situations. We as a humanity, or even as a society have become so egotistical that it has become counterproductive, parents bully their children to get involved in certain activities that the parent may want them to but the child may not have a desire to be involved in. Even though, over time, the child may show some interest. This is especially the case where a parent wishes the child to be involved in a particular sport. But the child also learns that one can be bullied into doing their bidding, and this can show up in their behavior later, at a job or even personal relationships. Bullying also leads to another counterproductive behavior, the stubbornness, where as a person will refuse to give ground even if it is detrimental to their own cause. Stubbornness usually leads to a loss in personal interactions, and sometimes even results in financial damages. We are all, always, so certain that we know it all and thus hold opinions or act in ways that ruin us, or will ruin us, but "we know". This is just the start M. N. R. 03 JUNE 2022

Everything, isn't everything in the world connected? If not then why were so many people paying attention to the "trial" going in, what concern is it of anyone really? And what happened to the Ukraine war? Is it still going on? Who is winning? We say that we pay attention to what's going on in the world, we don't. It is hard to understand, why we are here where we are. I not famous, or very smart, but for the last however many years, I have been talking about the economy, the welfare state, the decline of culture and morals, about the healthcare, the Wallstreet, the interest rates, and more, much more. The problem is that what we don't see or understand we balme it on the government or even better, a conspiracy. But if what is being done is right out in the open, right in front of your eyes is not a "conspiracy " your problem is that you do not understand it. Americans today are frustrated, the see a country on the verge of a possible decline, and they don't understand what happened and how it happened, so they fall for any and every "conspiracy theory" sometimes "explained" by the very same people that caused the problem themselves. We are an easy prey, a nation used to being given everything rhing for free and easily doesn't understand. We fail to see that our personal "prosperity" came not from our hard work or effort, but from the government borrowing and spending, that we bought cheap stuff made by "virtual slaves" overseas and thought we were rich, then we also complained about jobs being outsourced. That the $4.5 gas is the direct result of the $1.79 gas. You get the point? Maybe. I WILL WRITE MORE LINK TO PART a IN THE COMMENTS M. N. R. 01 JUNE 2022

I will write them down, may be add some more later or just go back to the other two. I have been married to the same woman for over thirty six years, we have three wonderful children, all college graduates, all college paid for, no loans, they have good jobs and have their own life's, their own ways. We always pushed education, always pushed character and achievement, no cheerleading, no beauty pagents, they all played sports, but didn't make the "teams" they all did great in school, one was also a valedictorian, they had small scholarships. But what am I trying to say, 36 years of marriage, three kids, and what did I learn? Admit that not all problems have a solution that you want or prefer, Some problems will not be resolved immediately You must order your priorities, you can have 5, 10 or thirty items on the top of your list. Half of a cake is always better than none. You will never have everything your way, remember that, sometimes things just won't work out to your liking or advantage. Mature adults know how to accept a loss, children always want things to go their way, and throw tantrums. MAYBE I'LL FIND SOMETHING TO ADD, OR MAYBE YOU WILL M. N. R. 01 JUNE 2022
