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. R. 25 JUNE 2022 HERE IS THAT LINK https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0vtzxBrzZAnWY5PmUHT2wwE4DRKMiYB7aEZJPexzmKZCxbUDpQ4N8bH18Dma3du9Ul&id=100063463063131

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

INTO THE ABYSS 181 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 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

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

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 182 b But what does any of have to do with the "gun control", or the corruption in the government, you ask. 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

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 write, people take my writings personally and get upset, it is easy to get upset when you realize that there are points of view that are probably more valid than the one that you hold. We love our country, we love our freedoms, we love our #Constitution, do we now? It really doesn't matter, whether you are black, white, or other, conservative or liberal, gay, straight, not sure or it is complicated, Democrat or a Republican, BLM, ANTIFA, KKK or just a run of the mill NAZI, (there is no such thing as a NeoNazi) sorry! I had asked for l to look in the mirror and to look at yourselves, first. I am not religious or pious, and if you believe in the #Christian theology the Bible asks us to examine ourselves, (someone already took an exception), 1 Corinthians 11:27-31 King Version 27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But let's not go there, shall we. Then the question we must ask ourselves is , what freedoms I love but do not wish that the others may also have? What is it about the #Constitution that I like but wish that it did not apply to others. Our politicians know this, they fool us by promising that if we vote for them they will deny those freedoms and right to those "others", and we elect them, they never promise to make thing better for us, just that they will.make things harder for those "others".

I have talked about "time" many a time, how it is spent, how do we use it, what to make of it, what "size" it is, is it real or imaginary? We will get back to it. We will also get back to "GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM" and discuss guns some more. It is still the 30th of May 2022, last night I went to bed, I was 69 years old, (technically) I woke up this morning and I was 70, yes Memorial day is also my birthday, when the day falls on the 30 of May, BTW 30th May was originally called the Decoration Day, the day to decorate the graves of the the soldiers of the Civil War, it remained the 30th of until 1971, when the last Monday in May became the "holiday". Never mind. In 2003, I noticed that we are on a path to destroy humanity, really it was many years before that even. In 1999 I had started writing some poetry, it mostly became a critique of society, of humanity, I published a book with some 80 plus poems, then I stopped the publisher from selling the book, it is still listed on Amazon, but you can't buy it. We have lost our way, we don't know what we want, oh yes we know what we want but we don't know how to get it. But you can't cross the river with one foot still planted on the shore. We want the society to be moral, as long as we don't have to be moral, we elect politicians that don't deliver but we keep reelecting them, we want our politicians to be honest, but just corrupt enough for use to be able to bribe them. We want them to be just take bribes from us, not from those that have more money than we do. We want to be able to cheat in our dealings and our relationships, but we want the other party to be honest and faithful. We want to able to lie but not be lied to. We want to be able to do whatever we want, so long as others meet our "standards ". We are doomed, everyone knows our game, because everyone else is also playing the same game. And so it goes.

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 GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM c GUN COTROL IS NOT THE SOLUTION I always default to one thing, look at myself first, what is wrong with the world probably starts with me. Who am I? What is my role, what am I doing to make things better? What if you didn't know yourself, didn't know who you are, and you met yourself on the street, what would you like about you? Would you like you? It is complicated, isn't it? Ask yourself. Two things again, I am fond of saying, every coin has a flip side, every point has a counter point, but we are always right, doesn't matter, gay, straight, liberal, conservative, capitalist, socialist, whatever, doesn’t matter, we are perfect, we are right, in the absolute. No need for anyone to change their opinion, and the phenomenon is not just "American exceptionalism" the illness today is world wide, only difference here is that we more guns, and guns make you stong, and a gun gives you more rights, whether it is Mexico, Swetto or Karachi or Manilla. Of course I own guns, rifles, pistols and shotguns, I own ammo for each, I know that most all of my friends own. I am retired military, but I owned guns even before, I started carrying when I was just 13 and lived in a remote part of a "3rd country", so I am used to having weapons and know how and especially when to use them. But again, does everyone? Of course guns are not a problem, guns do not kill. But if we are to be honest why do we own guns, yes we buy them to defend our homes against invasion and to protect our loved ones, and to overthrow our government when that time comes, in the meantime we can walk around looking like a man and impress others. We look for simple answers to real world complex problems, we must be simple minded also, and the politicians that offer simple answers are actually conmen trying to win you over, they are grooming us, and we are willing. We have been convinced that everyone has the right to own a gun, and as a result we don't allow our children to ride bicycles, play in the park unsupervised, we have made our houses into prisons, our communities are gated, our schools are virtual prisons still people are killed sitting in there own homes, oh yes, but those are the problems of those "others", well come to my small community and there are no "other people" here but still, a lot of drugs, meth, oxycontin, and petty thieves, the problem is the same, regardless. I am not for banning guns, not for licensing, not for confiscation, no one really is, in America it is , it will be impossible, but there are politicians that jump up and say that someone is talking about confiscation, that is not a fact, don't let them make a fool of you.

But there are so many that are way smarter and knowledgeable. Most of us have an opinion, among other things, most all of us do, so it is said, and being that we live in a "democracy" we apparantly also believe that all opinions are equal. Then this happened, really, on Foxnews Jesse Waters had a perfect idea, we need more school therapists, he did, problem solved! See now, how easy it was, why did I never think of it, we need to provide more therapists after every massacre. No we don't always think smart, and not all opinions are worthy or correct. We claim to be a #Christian people and we don't always follow his words, we always find exceptions, may be the guy was really not as smart, right! (I am being sarcastic here, please). More on this later. We live in a culture (the world over), where everyone is right, no exceptions, a couple of days earlier I had posted something under the title " How Americans are Played" read it if you wish, if you think we are an exception to anything we are only fooling ourselves. Yes we have more weapons than all the rest of the world put together, yes we can take over the world and we plan to, at the sametime the people that want us to take over the world are also against the "New World Order", ironic isn't it? Also we are exceptional, but look at the gun culture in Mexico, in the Philippines, in Afghanistan and in Pakistan, really we are not so different, we are not! We don't want to go around killing others willy-nilly, yet we also want to literally kill anyone we don't like, liberals, gays, conservatives, minorities, prolife, proabortionists, and people that mess up our order at the drive-thru and cashiers that are rude. Be honest please. Have you heard that 1974 song of Mac Davis, "or lord its hard to be humble", you should, Google it, it clearly talks about us today, like it is said, if everyone is is right, then no one is. It is not longer just the "American exceptionalism", we are all exceptional now, like I was saying earlier, we are all special, rules don't apply to us, we can always have it our way, and we don't then screw everything and everybody. If you disagree, please comment, then also see how, if, this writing is talking about you. I WILL WRITE MORE. M. N.

For long I have spent time in "self reflection", what make me "I", to understand my "lowest desires", to understand the world and makes us keep going off the tracks. Tens of thousands of years of progress and evolution, of philosophers and prophets and seers, yet here we are, reduced to hand wringing, and hopes and wishes and thoughts and prayers, of asking for some laws to be changed, for guns to be "controlled", for whatever makes you happy. The job of a prophet or philosopher is not to solve your problems, the job is to make you pay attention to yourself, your actions and to the world around you and "think". But here's the rub, can we think, and how? And what can we think. The problem is made clear by the saying, "to think outside the box", our thinking is always limited by what we "know", and most people don't know a whole lot, no matter their level of education and even how much money they have made. Yes, some self reflection here, please. I posting this to get you started, I will add to it over the next few posts, if you can, think where I may be going with this, and what you think. M. N.

HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED f

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 f We all are proud to be politically involved, we all know the issues, we all know how the country's problems can all be solved, we have a representative government, we elect those that practically run our lives and we hold them responsible. Okay, wake up now. We do not have a representative government, the people we elect do not solve any problems, we are just happy that they all blame all the problems on the otherside. If we only knew, if we only cared. In a country where "money" is free speech, and money is what elects the government, and money is what it takes to make money, you and I don't have a voice , you and I don't have a chance. We are just happy to blame the "others", just like the "real Housewives of whatever the crap". Everything is someone else's fault. We have no clue. Everyone in the US is a constitutional expert, except we have no idea what is says, especially the lawyers that we elect to represent us, and more especially (specifically) the justices that are appointed to our courts. May be you are also one of these experts. Read the "preamble to the constitution", what does it say, read it "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Does it mean anything to you, what does it say? What is this thing about "establish justice" what does it even mean? What do you think? Establish justice is of course about having a fair and equitable justice system where "everyone is equal under the law", it is not just about black or white, a cop or a thug, poor or rich, but even there where is the equity? You really believe that we have a working justice system where one can actually trust the system, honestly. Do you even favor a real equitable justice system, do our representatives at any level, from a city council to the congress itself support real justice. It is an honest question. Then ask yourself how can we have tranquility when the system is not fair. This is just to get you thinking, I will write more soon. M. N. R. 23 MAY 2022

HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED e

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 e So you believe that two parties are different, that one party is working more for the average American than the other, that "YOUR" party is more about personal freedom, for the #Constitution or whatever other garbage. In fact, neither party works for the average/working/ middle class/ poor American and you can take that the bank as they are taking you to the cleaners. Name one thing that either party has done that does not help the big money, the corporate interests and the bankers. Either way. If you think that the #Republican policies only help the rich then consider this, whatever the #Democrat policies be they also put government money, and "your l" money in the pockets of the rich. Somehow every policy that is designed to "help" the poor or the "average citizen" can somehow be perverted and is perverted to help the rich become richer. Be it #foodstamps, #rentalsubsidies, #tuitionassistance (Pell grants) #studentloans, or #healthcare everything the government does to help the #needy actually hurts the public and enriches the already rich. And it also increases the costs to the public while increasing the "budget deficits" , of course the #Republicans go along and allow all of it to go on. These items also hurt the poor, they increase dependence and cause apathy so that instead of protesting for jobs, for better pay, and better opportunities the public starts to believe that someone is actually doing something to help.

INTO THE ABYSS 180 d

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 180 d I don't usually write on Friday nights, my days are busier on Saturdays. But I also had a hectic Thursday and didn't get to write, though I had planned to. Maybe I will be able to keep this one short, maybe. There are a few things to consider here, something for you to think about till we talk next. I had been talking about a couple of things, you can scroll down and read, maybe I will place the links in the comments so you can read. But a point tonight, we say that we are not easily persuaded, are we sure? The fact is that we are, most of the time it is not that we like what the "person" says, the fact is that the person "says" what he knows that we want to hear. Really. David Koresh, Jim Jones, Ted Bundy, Charles Manson they all told their people what those people wanted to hear. And once the people were hooked they all did with them what they wanted to. Humans are not much better than animals in this. We use cheese to lure a rat into the cage, we use corn as bait for the deer. The difference is that the rat or the deer "cannot know better", we claim to be intelligent humans, we can, we are obligated to learn better. The "parable" of Moloch warns us, we must also pay attention to the future also and not sacrifice our futures and the future of our children and grandchildren for gain in the present.

INTO THE ABYSS 180 c

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 180 c I am not a very smart person and I don't know everything, and if you tell me that you are smarter, or that you do know everything, I will agree, and will simply listen, maybe I will learn something. One thing I know, I learn something new everyday, and I change my views, I change my opinions, my feelings are the Gospels. We are humans, we all make mistakes, we misunderstand things, we even make up things to support our views. We were talking about the Ship of Thesues , if you didn't read that I hope that you will scroll down and read the first and second parts of this "article" , "INTO THE ABYSS 180". If I were to say that I am a moral person, (I am not, I don't claim to be a moral or a religious person). I am sure you have a list of certain traits that you will judge me aginst. What do you expect a "moral", "righteous" person to be like? May be you expect them to be fair, honest, truthful, trustworthy, uncorruptible, someone who will not take bribes, someone who will not do favors for money, or quid pro quo. May be you think they should not be a substance abuser, a child abuser or a spouse abuser, nor a philanderer. The list could go on still. Let's go back to the Ship of Thesues, how many of these traits in your list are you willing to say that a person could be without and still be a "good person". Do the people you elect or make deals with have all or even most of the traits that make one a good person or you default to a person that you can use (even for a good price). I am not a fan of any politician, but there is something we should have learned from Trump, when he said how all those politicians came to him, begging for money, and that he gave money to both the Democrats and the Republicans. We have a government of the people that are corrupt to the core, our judges at all level, to include the Supreme Court are corrupt, once we see that, once we admit that it is a single fruit but the whole basket ( at all levels) is rotten, only then and after we fix ourselves and our expectations we can change the system. We can not corrupt our officials for our personal gains when it is convenient and then expect them to ve honest when we are losing the game. I WILL WRITE MORE M. N. R. 19 MAY 2022

INTO THE ABYSS 180 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 180 b So I started writing this series last night, talking about the Plato's Allegory of the Cave, Plutarch's Ship of Thesues and of course the Biblical parable of "Moloch". Don't be upset, I don't mean to demean the #Scriptures, but the Bible itself admits that there are some parables, and as I quoted from Matthew 13 itself, the statement on parables, if you did not read that piece, please do scroll down and read it first. We live in a very modern world, we are really really smart, we "are for real" all the time. The problem is that we don't know what is "real", we knowingly accept "fake" for real and insist that we are "right", when I was a teenager, my father used to watch professional wrestling, he and I would argue, I said it was fake and he insisted that it was real, today, everyone "knows" that is fake, and accepts it as real. Why not, we have been programmed so, we watch "reality shows" don't we. Worse, we are stepping into the world of "virtual reality" and ready to dive right in, people are making avatars, even marrying them, you know where I am going with this. I personally don't believe in "reality", but there are things that do matter, and the future of humanity may depend on it. The story of the "Ship of Thesues" , if you are not familiar, states that Thesues had a ship made of wood, over time as parts of the ships would rot, they would be replaced by new parts, to the point that in the end every single part had been replaced, the question is, is it still the "Ship of Thesues" and at what time it stops being the Ship of Thesues ? We have a free country, we have laws, we have a #Constitution, we have a democracy where everyone is equal, we have rule of law, the laws apply to everyone equally, so we say, but is it true? Is this the reality? I would argue that No, none of it is true, part by part, plank by plank, the democracy has been dismantled, the #Constitution has been subverted, laws have been rewritten, laws have been changed to where we are not equal, the laws don't apply equally, and the average person has no protection from abuse. We pay good money for our imitation carb meat. I WILL WRITE MORE M. N. R. 18 MAY 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 180 a Who are we and what are we here for? The question has been asked for eons and there have been a million answers, some similar to many others, and the others somewhere way out there, depends upon your own personal preferences and prospective. So then. I like to learn, I like to ponder the imponderables. I am weird like that. I also like to connect that dots, how things relate one to another and the try to predict the outcomes, I fail sometimes, sometimes I fail more than other times. There are certain philosophical ideas, I like the example of the Ship of Thesues, I like the Allegory of the Cave, I like the parable of Moloch in the Scriptures, And they all relate to the world that we live in, as if the world that we live in actually could be "real", we like to think that it is real, but the philosophers have said for millinnea that it may not be, and recently the scientists have also postulated that we may be living in a computer program, an "artificial reality", a simulation. What does it even matter? I am not religious, I don't follow a dogma, though I do follow certain "codes of ethics" in my personal life I wouldn't call it a religion. To claim that one follows a certain religion imposes and heavy burden, one most follow the dogma to the letter or one is just a pretender, piety is not in the claim alone, piety comes from character. In my essays under "LEARNING" , I have been talking about the difference between "knowing and understanding", we can "know" a lot and yet not understand anything. Some people that claim to know the #Scriptures don't really understand, though all claim to "know". MATTHEW 13:13-15 explains it thusly King James Version 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. So what does any of this have to do with what I was talking about? I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 17 MAY 2022

LEARNING 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 LEARNING h 1 I write a lot, on many topics, with some education, some experience,( military and civilian), running two businesses for over thirty years, a stable marriage that has lasted 36 years, raising 3 kids and putting them through college (out of pocket and with no student loans), and with 70 years of living, on three continents, and learning five languages, I think I know a little. Not bragging on myself here, just letting you know a bit about me. No you don't need college or a degree to know a lot. But you do need to have a sense of logic, sound reasoning, and know you may not know everything and should be willing to learn. A bull or a mule may be really determined, but he is not "right", we can both agree. Nothing in this world is the "final word" yet, no matter how right I may believe myself to be. Everyday we learn something new in science, in medicine, in computers, even in farming and making armaments. If refused to change our thinking, our ways, we would not have made any progress over the years. What we have, what you and I see today is the result of change, some over thousands of years, some just over the past few days, months or years. Time to time, we recognize that we are doing something wrong and change our "traditions" , heck we use to have out houses and now we just "use the bathroom" right inside our pretty home. It is different, it is totally against tradition also. Fact! I have titled this post as "LEARNING h 1" I plan to write more as a continuation of this post, I hope you will follow along. We have a strong tradition in this country, we buy older homes and remodel them, we buy older cars and spend money, time and great effort to restore them, we like to keep the original parts, I love that. We also used to take cars, in the older days and souped them up, I have never seen any one trying to tear down a souped car or a refurbished and remodeled home. When we talk about "taking over country back", what arr we talking about. We used to be great country, what made us great is that we made life better for ALL our citizens, we had strong families, we had great work ethic. We helped our neighbors, we built strong communities, we gave more rights and more freedoms to all our citizens, we had a great middle class, we had jobs with guarantees, and retirement and healthcare. We had companies that were made to care for the workers, they were forced to clean up their operations and clean up the environment. If that is where we want to take #America back, let's go. Yes there are serious problems in certain communities, those needs to be pointed out and addressed, right now the politicians are not solving problems, heck have no ideas about how to solve the problems. They know they all are the cause, left, right and center, open your eyes and see the truth, don't listen to them, tell them you need to see their plans and their actions. I WILL WRITE MORE M. N.

INTO THE ABYSS 179 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 179 b We have to be really smart, to understand and to know. By definition we are not and that in itself is a hard pill to swallow. We like to think of ourselves as smart, really really smart. We are all above average. There are concepts that we fail to grasp, so our default position is to reject the concept out hand as either false or just not "right". Think about this, even the best scientists can vagus grasp the vastness of universe even though the can tell you that it 13.5 billion years old or that it is 93 billion light years across. They can give you the numbers but surely they can not in simple terms explain how big that is. But here are a couple of other things, we do not know for sure that the space is infinite. If the space is infinite indeed the the billions of galaxies or not it is mostly empty, to the point so that it is more than 99% nothing. Think of another thing, if we take into account the dark energy and the "anti- matter", it is all zero, nothing. Of course a human body is 99.9999999% empty space, really. So, in other words the space is empty, human body is ??? You decide! Is it not all than just our imagination? And we think we are so good/bad! What do we really know, what makes us so confident, we have created a reality, based upon stories we have been told, who we are, what we are, what is our role in the scheme of things, in this universe that we seem to believe that we exist in (which is an empty space full of nothing). Yes we are special, as long as we don't think about it. Of course there is something, if you like to think that way, look for some simple explanation, that may not be true, but it is palatable, we can add some salt, some spices, or just hold our noses and swallow hard.

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 179 a We think we know, we know a lot, most of us do anyway, it is one of the benefits of being a human I believe, especially in the "modren" society. We are supposed to know and thus we are supposed to have opinions, whether we know anything or not. We have no idea, in reality we really do not. WHT is your name Bob or Bettey and not Jack or Jill, can you give me a good reason? May be you were named after one of your relatives, so what does that mean, do you become "them"? Why? Ask, what does Bob mean anyway, can you define a "Bob", if I "Just" happen to know that your name is Bob, what does that tell me? We are not who we "ARE", we are born and we get a random name, if you were called Jim instead of Bob, you would have never known, you would have accepted the "fact" that you are Jim, and would be, probably" upset if I kept calling you Bob. You did not choose to be white or black, rich or poor, nor did you choose to be born in America, or the 20th/21st century, so there is that. What are we so proud of? Our stories are just that, a series of random "coincidences" over which we had no control over, none, zero, zilch. Yes, so much for all your great accomplishments. Our opinions also greatly depend upon our upbringing and circumstances, not our choices, the fact that you can even read this, is because you happen to have money, for whatever reason, that you can read English, for whatever reason, that you have eyes for whatever reason, and also maybe you can read this because you didn't die in a airplane crash at the age of whatever, or that your great grandfather didn't die in the 2WW and was able to procreate. We like to say that life is choices, we are wrong, life is chances, all of it, the electron on the oxygen atom that you just breathed in was across the universe somewhere just the instant prior, deal with it.

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 LEARNING f Of course, like I said , we all have an ego, and ego doesn't work the way we think it does, not the way that we think. More that I say that I am humble, I am only stoking my ego, I become "proud" even of my "humility". And pride is a deadly sin. Proverbs 16:18 says, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” I like your comments, all of them, they teach me so much about myself, sometimes what I should do or think, and sometimes they also expose my own faults to myself, how I may be not thinking right, as I see how others think what I don't like. I forget. How is it that we can twist things to fit our own way of thinking, I have said many times that I am neither religious nor pious, and I don't delude myself, I know if my behavior is against the basic tenets of my belief system, there is nothing I can do to not have to pay for my indiscretions. It is true the absolution is offered to us all, but it is all said that I can not sin in the hope of being forgiven, it says so. Hebrews 10:26-31 KJV For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Tonight as I lie down to sleep, I will again review my life, and look at my deeds and judge myself and make amends before I am judged.

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 LEARNING e We no longer are interested in what is right or wrong, we twist laws, #Constitution , the truth and even the #Scriptures to suit our purpose. Bothsides are guilty of it, I am guilty of it too (probably). It is not just as persons, as a society we all want to win, but it has nothing to with our lives. Most of us fail as basic human beings, at all levels. Just watch the news, and look at our society. We point fingers at "those others" we make fun of "them", but we are them. I was on the #foxnews blog, an item about sending signals to aliens, and the comments were about "LGBTQ", about gender dysphoria, what are you talking about, is that all you are worried about? Is that all you can think of, grow up. I said this much afew years back. We have been told that we must have screwed up lives, we must learn to adjust to dysfunction, that the society must be dysfunctional, that we must learn to adapt. I don't know what came first. The chicken or the egg. Was it predicted that the society doesn't know how to operate, what a family is or should be. Or that we, #conservative and #liberal just gave up trying, just to have a good time at the expense of the future generations and a peaceful existence as human beings. It is true that the "psychology" has been pushing "self" above all else, but where is the evidence that the conservative didn't fall in the same trap. Breakdown of society has had immense cost, and now it is too late to back up and regroup. It always go back to the same thing, both the left and the right claim to be doing "the right thing", but they are both the same. Maybe I will repost the articles I wrote back 12-13 years ago, a series " there are two paths" showing how the end result of the policies of the left and the right is always the same. For a quick and simple example, bothsides today want to censor the other side, both sides want the other side to shut up and be quiet, get out of the way, there is a simple reason for it. Our country is ruled by the extremely rich, they select the "representatives" they select the senators and they select the presidential candidates, yes they selected Trump also. So much the better to divide the people. Bothsides have a base of about 30%percent if the population that are ill educated, I'll informed and easily swayed, easy manipulated, and they will stick to their party regardless how they maybe harmed. Both the #liberal and the #conservative polices keep the working class in their place, and the longer these policies are in force, the poor will keep getting poorer, their numbers only expanding.

The Kybalion But have to see and know and understand the paradox, if not you are just lost, dazed and confused. We live in a society that is at war with itself. It is like where a family is fueding at home and someone breaks in an steals everything in the house. We have a society where everyone is stressed because we all want to do everything, have everything, be like everyone else and have no cost. We are a society where therapy is offered on line. Therapy is offered on Facebook, Google and on YouTube and the therapists need therapy themselves. We are a society where everyone is losing and everyone is winning all at the same time. Not what the phrase actually meant when it was coined, but in a very literal sense though our while life has become a "theater of the absurd", our lives our wants and needs, our wins and losses are absurd. Over two years ago, I had predicted the aftermath of the current "healthcrises", the stock market crash, the employment loses, the inflation, the run away spending, the supply chain problems and the shortages. We were actually set up for the fall, the healthcrises was just an excuse, just as Ukraine is. We are losing as country, we are losing our freedoms, we are losing our future, but we are told that we are winning. The new world order continues, the population control agenda continues, the lower standard of living for the general population is at hand, but we are winning, by losing our rights. We are celebrating the death of Roe V Wade, like it will put bread on our table and the chicken in our pot. What we used to know as freedom has lost any meaning or relevance. But, we are winning. Life is all about "in your face", there is no decorum, none required. Our politicians, our justices, our police and our judges , our teachers and our leaders behave exactly the same as those we so "lovingly" call thugs. Strip off any titles and our congress people, our senators, our presidents and governors behave exactly the same as some shoplifters and petty thugs, or big thugs. Watch, observe the manners of any one person and try to judge what class or category they are from. At least in that much we are truly democratic now. Are you sure you have won? Whatever you think you did, whatever you wanted to win, you think you are right, and that is why you won. I always come back to the "self", Maybe this has been a bit confusing, I meant it to be so, make one think, Galatians 6:4 But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another I WILL WRITE MORE, SOON M.

RANDOM PSYCHOLOGY 161 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 RANDOM PSYCHOLOGY 161 a Maybe you are new to this page, or maybe you have been along for while, I thank you. I was recently barred from the page for a week, as I posted below it was a mistake of "the platform" itself but! I have bolgged for many years, as the intro says, "it is a personal blog and not a news site" I do, however, post many articles of news each day, the ones that I find of interest myself and hope you will find something of interest in tem also. That is not the point either. The title says "RANDOM PSYCHOLOGY " so let's talk psychology, a little. I have stated that in today's world one needs an IQ of say 115 to stay afloat. Mind you the average IQ is a hundred, so easily over half the population of any "set" is below average and can be manipulated if one so desires. Stay with me. If I gave you a blank page and asked you to tell me the story on that page, you would rightfully think that I have lost my marbles. So I hand you a book, and ask you to tell me the story, (without reading the book) could you? Say we open the book and look at the words on the pages, can we now know the story? Of course no, we must read the words, in order and continously, page by page, still we don't know, not really, because if ten people read the same book, the same story, each person will have a different understanding, oh they may agree basically, but the story will mean different things to different people, depending upon their own understanding of the world. Or it should. Then we could have a hundred people write the same basic story and we will have different ways of how the story is written, who comes as the hero or the villain, how the scenes are ordered, what words are used to manipulate emotions.and so on. Once again, how one perceives the story will depend upon the readers own social status, values, upbringing, education, and so on. The adage say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", it is also true that what we observe in life, what we feel about life, what we think of a situation or think of people per se is totally subjective, whether true or not. Sadly, we all think of ourselves as both "informed and open minded", nothing is further than the truth . To say that you have "found the truth" is to admit that you have stopped searching.

FINAL THOUGHTS d I haven't written anything for the last couple of days, frustrated I the word. We in America are proud of our "free speech", limited as it is. As if you didn't know, in recent years protesting has become more limited, not just due to the government restrictions alone either. Protesting against political ideas has restrictions, protesting against major corporations is always limited by local governments, as we in cases of Amazon and Wal-Mart unionization efforts, and the coal mines in Alabama. Political protests are limited, and many times, in our polarized country, opposite sides are more than willing to shut eachother down. And "I am holding on for a hero". And Elon #Musk is not it. Our country is no longer a functioning #Democracy, Politicians and the media are owned by the oligarchs and if you believe that they are interested in listening to you or I , or that they care what the "average citizen" thinks you are a fool. I haven't been on Facebook for two days, I haven't missed it, but that is not even the point. I have had a "blog" since 2006, where I write my personal thoughts about different things, the politics, the society and the economy, for some reason #Facebook has decided to shut me down, accuse of posting things I didn't and there is no recourse, no on to talk to, and the decisions of their bots is final, screw your free speech. Of course it is a private company that is not obliged to. But what is free speech, and what is the future of free speech? Everything you say or do is monitored, every phone call, every text, every keystroke is recorded, don't believe me ask Kevin #McCarthy, the leader of the #Republicans in the house. But I am not as shameless or dishonorable as he is. When the message is controlled, when the media is controlled by billionaires, your freedom of speech doesn't matter, if you are on #Facebook or #Twitter, if you watch any news channel, if you read any papers, the message is controlled, your news feed is manipulated, your thoughts are controlled, you are brainwashed, with your permission of course. Luckily I have other outlets, I have a blog on WordPress, and I will revive my blog on blogspot, may be, in time, I will get back on Facebook again, do also have Twitter account, join me, let's talk. 1tombstone2.wordpress.com tombstone001.blogspot.com @tombstone001 M.

A third world country

A proud but a third world nation page 1

We are turning in to a third world country. I know I rant a lot about the economy and the political discord among those we have chosen to run this country.
We also choose these to protect our constitutional rights and protect us from injustice. So much for that ideal. Time and again, over the last fifteen years I posted and wrote about corruption and abuse of our judicial system. Now, on the internet, you can see the police brutality even murder of our innocent ( until proven guilty, right) and innocent (not suspected or involved in a crime) countrymen.
One thing I also taken note of is that those that consider themselves involved are doing no better than sitting at a computer ( including cell phones now) and clicking away at links.
It's a joke, on us! No one cares how many pictures you take, post or share, those in the law enforcement know you are not going do any more than sit on your butt and wring your hands.
Law enforcement is not just your local police and sherif , it is your city council, your county commission, your district judge, your state house, your state senate, your governor, your congress person, senator, justice department, the FBI, your Supreme Court and the president, and the juries that are selected at all levels.

Iran the new best friend

A friend indeed
We must not be ashamed at all when we screw people over until we need them. That is what our common culture has become, has it not. We have friends, then we have "friends with benefits", we have marriages with prenuptials , so it goes.

Did we not try to create unrest in Iran in 2009 after their elections,

Luckily Iran did not end up in same place as say Syria, Iraq or Egypt, we tried.
We tried to implicate Iran in various terror plots against the US, no matter how far fetched and improbable, we tried.

We said that Iranians were helping Bashar in Syria while McCain was out there "hamming it up" with our favorite terrorists.

Of course we were supporting the terrorists in Syria , still are, we trained them and paid for their equipment but mow the snakes are biting, did I not talk about snake handlers a year ago?
So here we are asking for help from Iran, can they be trusted? Can Iranians be trusted? What of the give the terrorist a free passage to the gulf, then?

Subject: Poor

I am often accused of being a liberal, I am not. Just because I am a bit learned and like to study subjects and only then form my own opinions instead of listening to some one else and parroting what I hear does not mean that I am some kind of lefty.
I have previously written that we have too many poor and they keep reproducing more poor. That we should offer young girls a stipend until they have a child and then it stops. I have also proposed that the poor should be put up in barracks, separated by gender and then fed in a mess hall, so when it comes to this I am not so far away from the main stream of the Republican Party.

Indiana GOP candidate: 'No one has the guts' to let poor people 'wither and die'

There are, however, two side to a ledger, if we go through with my proposals, Walmart and Dollar stores will lose customers, not only that, pawn shops, furniture rental stores and such will go out of business. The police will write fewer tickets and face layoffs, no drug dealers to bust, no prostitutes to pay the DA and the court system, or lawyers and bondsmen. Lot of people will complain that their rentals properties are vacant and worthless, cable company, power company, phone company may increase rates due  to fewer customers. Of course used car maker will be dead too, and so on.
Some of the things to think over!
