INTO THE ABYSS 187 a

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 187 a Didn't write last couple of nights, not that I couldn't think of anything to say, but there is way too much. I started writing this series of articles under the title of "INTO the Abyss" 3 years ago, there are probably 300 different sections, I was talking about my life experiences, things that I did, where have been and what I became. Over time, the story changed and I started talking about the world around me, where we have been and how the world is changing. It is not simple, we do live in an interconnected world and there is no backing away, no backing out, not in the short order. We are too invested in world affairs to "just say no". Our whole future as a nation is on the table. How do we stop being involved in world affairs? Can we? Half our national budget is based upon a thriving "military-industrial complex". Half the jobs in the country are directly or indirectly based on the defense spending. Military contract jobs are everywhere, in every community, and those jobs create other jobs, from housing construction to restaurants and malls. I love near a military base, were it to close there would be nothing left, nothing. And that is true of every such community near a military base, near a arms manufacturer, near a military hospital. And so on. The war in Ukraine may be bad for the farmers or the hungry people in Africa or the factories in Germany, but military contractors and manufacturers are raking in dollars. It is not all bad news. At home the billionaires are sponsoring the politicians that will help reduce the population, divide the country and get rid of the middle class , on way or another, choose your poison. But who cares. Throughout history, every single experiment to create a homogeneous society, a superior class, a selected group has failed in a disaster. From the Bolshevik revolution, to Nazi Germany, the Taliban in the Middle East, the "colonization" and the Inquisition. I have said that when we take away freedoms of others we must also surrender a few of our own. It not just one group that is better than another. It happens every single time. No matter what anyone pretends, they all have the same aim, Where are the politicians that can simply and clearly articulate a problem and their proposed solution, it is easy to point fingers and make accusations without offering any evidence or offering a clear, just and workable solution. We blame those "thugs" for killing others willy-nilly, but what do our "leaders" propose? Are not just like those thugs also. Let's talk and be honest. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 28 JULY 2022
