HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED 13 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 HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED 13a I didn't write the past couple of nights. It is so easy for me to sit down and start writing on just about any topic you can imagine, probably even about something I know very little about. I read. I research, I think, I connect the dots, how things are related. How things are intertwined. You and I. Both if us have seen this, take a hand full of paper clips and put then in a bowl, leave them there for a bit then start taking them out one by one , you will notice that those clips are tangled, you can try the same with lengths of yarn for the same result. We may be different people, in our town, state, country and the world. Our lives are intertwined, our futures and our fortunes are co-mingled, whether we like it or not. Recently there was a headline, as the Euro drops and the European epoxies slow down, the profits of the American corporations will take hit. And as the war in Ukraine has shown, we are having food shortages, we will have fewer animals to raise for meat. Simple enough. For the past sixty years or more US has also influenced the culture around the globe, the movies, the video games, the TV shows, and music, we set the pace. Heck there are Arab and Afghan rappers, there are Korean soap operas and Pakistani game shows. Christmas in Japan and Christmas I'm Arab countries, Valentines day in Kuwait and Iraq. It is not just the culture, it is also the economy, the food, the cars, pick an item, the real estate price go up and down in unison almost. We rule. We also can not separate ourselves. Our navies and air forces reach around the globe. We can not build a wall big enough, and what will we do with all our military might if we turned inwards, if we left the UN, if we disbanded NATO, what will happen to the Military Industrial complex, and the related jobs, the contracts, the factories, think! Before I go further, let me explain a few things, maybe you are new to my page. Stay with me. This article will be a long one, it may take me a few days yet to finish, please stay and follow, even if you get angry, please share. Nothing that is going on in world today, or in our country (The USA) is news, it was always designed and planned and the plan continues. The outcome is known and predictable, it is already predicted. No matter what side you are on, what road you take, what plan you follow, we end up in the same place, regardless. There have been "warnings" , we have been told what the plan is and how it is being implemented, we just "didn't see it coming", but we did and ignored it, I will explain. I started calling into talk radio shows around 27, 28 years ago, and questioning, I wrote to congressmen and the presidents, I wrote in the local newspapers, asking questions, I questioned the DA, the police chiefs, then I blogged, and the I started a "page" that was barred, I started another page. I questioned. I wanted to know the truth, the truth was always there. The media and the books have been hinting at what is happening, how we are being manipulated, how we are fed lies, we knew, we didn't want to know,, I will give evidence. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N.

RANDOM THOUGHTS G 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 RANDOM THOUGHTS G 1a Back in February of 2020 I wrote about the upcoming epidemic and its economic and financial consequences, I was mostly right, about 95 percent in what I had predicted. The US government had not yet declared the disease a major event yet, nothing to worry about it was said even a week later. But it was it did affect the economy in every way I predicted. I had repsoted that article a couple of months ago, again. I was against arming Ukraine and enticing the Russians, inviting and prodding them to invade, in mid January I posted a meme I made, "Don't Poke The Bear" I said. We did, and we see the consequences, whether Ukraine is winning or not, Putin is not done, and we are not going to shame him into quitting. It could get a lot worse, let's hope it doesn't, for the children and grand children's sake, yours and mine. So anyway, the life goes on. Are we in a recession or not? The news says that the GDP is down, for the second consecutive quarter, but no we are not in a recession. The stock market was up, yesterday and today as well, the interest rates went up and the stocks did also, that has happened before. Here it is from one horse's mouth "People also ask What happens to markets when interest rates Rise? Higher interest rates can also make investors more likely to sell their stocks, which affects the market overall. The more people sell, the lower stock prices dip. Falling stock prices often cause people to panic-sell, pushing prices down even further.4 days ago https://www.fortpittcapital.com › blog" So what is happening? Who knows. There are many variables, but don't look, There is the higher interest rates, it makes it difficult to buy a home, to remodel, to buy a car and to pay off your credit card debt or a student loan. With higher interest rates you need more money to pay off the debt and you have less money for buying other things. That reduces consumption and thus retail sales. Add to that the inflation penalty, you need more money to buy fewer goods, the retailers raise the prices even more to keep their profit margins and also to pay more for the labor. Employment goes down as the sales do, fewer people working means that the working people don't have money to spend, (proves my point the rich don't really create jobs, the poor do). Then we have the Ukraine war and non availability of grains and fertilizers, not to mention higher cost of natural gas to run the European factories, prices of imports (when and if available) go up also. And the climate change, unpredictable crops, forest fires, lower river shipping capacity all create problems for the supply chain, from food, to lumber to raw materials. Power generation goes down as rivers dry, what else? How many can survive living off the grid, for how long? We are in a recession, and it could get worse, it could be deeper and long lasting. What politicians do you believe can fix it, don't fool yourself. How? Please! I WILL WRITE MORE M. N. R. 29 JULY 2022

INTO THE ABYSS 187 a

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE INTO THE ABYSS 187 a Didn't write last couple of nights, not that I couldn't think of anything to say, but there is way too much. I started writing this series of articles under the title of "INTO the Abyss" 3 years ago, there are probably 300 different sections, I was talking about my life experiences, things that I did, where have been and what I became. Over time, the story changed and I started talking about the world around me, where we have been and how the world is changing. It is not simple, we do live in an interconnected world and there is no backing away, no backing out, not in the short order. We are too invested in world affairs to "just say no". Our whole future as a nation is on the table. How do we stop being involved in world affairs? Can we? Half our national budget is based upon a thriving "military-industrial complex". Half the jobs in the country are directly or indirectly based on the defense spending. Military contract jobs are everywhere, in every community, and those jobs create other jobs, from housing construction to restaurants and malls. I love near a military base, were it to close there would be nothing left, nothing. And that is true of every such community near a military base, near a arms manufacturer, near a military hospital. And so on. The war in Ukraine may be bad for the farmers or the hungry people in Africa or the factories in Germany, but military contractors and manufacturers are raking in dollars. It is not all bad news. At home the billionaires are sponsoring the politicians that will help reduce the population, divide the country and get rid of the middle class , on way or another, choose your poison. But who cares. Throughout history, every single experiment to create a homogeneous society, a superior class, a selected group has failed in a disaster. From the Bolshevik revolution, to Nazi Germany, the Taliban in the Middle East, the "colonization" and the Inquisition. I have said that when we take away freedoms of others we must also surrender a few of our own. It not just one group that is better than another. It happens every single time. No matter what anyone pretends, they all have the same aim, Where are the politicians that can simply and clearly articulate a problem and their proposed solution, it is easy to point fingers and make accusations without offering any evidence or offering a clear, just and workable solution. We blame those "thugs" for killing others willy-nilly, but what do our "leaders" propose? Are not just like those thugs also. Let's talk and be honest. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 28 JULY 2022

RANDOM 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 RANDOM THOUGHTS F 2 I am, therefore I think, I am full of it. It's been a month since last "RANDOM THOUGHTS", I'll post a link if I can find. "Choice is an illusion", we don't make choices, we are predictable, and anyway, when you are driving , and paying attention, hopefully, do you always think about when to hit the brake or you just do it, automatically? No you don't make a choice. You don't, now if you wish to hit that car in front of you do have to choose, but that decision was already made, long ago, you made that choice for other reasons. Future is fluid, it is not set in stone, you and I decide on what it will look like. (Barring the unknown consequences, or sometimes ignoring the known outcomes). The universe knows, however, "it is written", it knows what you will choose. There is no free will. Everything happens "now", the universe does not recognize our concept of time. And if one believes in a Supreme being, then that Supreme being again is not restricted by time, Everything is happening right now, there is no past, there is no future. Quantum mechanics is not restricted by space, every thing is everywhere. What future have you choosen? What does it look like, what are you doing there, are you happy with what you have done? What does "your" world look like? Can you live with it? I don't have heros, idols, I am not a fan of anyone. Typically if you have a "hero", you try to emulate them, if you think you like "John Wick", pretty sure you fantasize about being "him". If it is Rambo, you want to be like Rambo. But what if you claim to have a Saint for a hero? A prophet maybe? What qualities of him/her do you like? How much you behave or act like them? Do you? By the time you realize that your foot is on the brake, the car is already braking, the car computer acts faster than your brain. Nothing is easier than feeling "morally superior" than by telling others to act morally. There are 613 commandments. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 24 JULY 2022

INTO THE ABYSS 186 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 186 b It is not that we are brave, really, that we want a revolution, we are scared, scared of losing what we have. What we have is ours, because of the system we want to overthrow. We are against the FED and the banks, but we borrowed money from the banks who borrowed it from the FED so we could built a big house, borrow money to buy a farm, borrow money to expand our business. We are afraid of losing what "we have built" thanks to the FED. The government does not run the country, the big businesses do, the billionaires do, and there is already a "New World Order", you and I are not part of it, we are distracted. If anything. Those that run the world are not worried about any "civil war" or its consequences. If we kill eachother we only solve their problem, we help them reach the twin goals of population reduction and slowing consumption. Slowing consumption and reducing population conserve resources and reduce pollution. So much the better. You want to kill eachother no big deal, you want the children uneducated so much the better, we need slaves, we need hungry masses that will work for food. We know about the super rich, the Musk and the Bezos, they are not the ones, we don't see the people that actually run the world. Do your own research. Two years ago when the markets were tanking, the rich bought the stocks, earlier this year, when the markets were high the billionaires were selling, look at the FTC fillings, they are public records. Politicians don't care, they are being paid to divide us, and we turn on eachother, so much the better. Those politicians that are encouraging a civil uprising from the sidelines asj them what is their plan? What will the "government" look like after the event? How will life improve for the average person, what kind of jobs? What income? What housing and transportation provisions are there? There are no plans, there are no provisions. There is no certain future. Actually there is no leadership, no "shadow government ". And if the revolution happens, what you own will be taken (taxed) to pay for the future "expenses". This is how it works, everywhere. Sadly, some of the biggest fools are the veterans that have been in a country like Afghanistan and have seen a civil war and think that it will not be the same here. It will be, I know it will. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 22 JULY 2022

INTO THE ABYSS 186 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 186 a I know, I am changing the subject here, but I am really not, I write about America, we are a country, a society, everything is connected, everything affects everything else. Be it gas prices, the food prices, the minimum wage, the rental costs, the student loans, the deficit, the social security, healthcare, gun control, abortion. So you cannot just talk about one thing and every other problem gets solved. It doesn't work like that, it is the real life. If you are my (70) or close, it is better than 50/50 chance that you have driven drunk, you had an affair or two, you probably experimented with some drugs, "experimented in bedroom" and so on, I am not judging, and no one knows, we can be honest, even if it is to our own selves. I remember times before we had the internet and the cellphones, before we had air-conditioning, when most cars were stick shift, before we had transplants, when a kidney stone required major surgery and there were no stents. Yeah, I remember the good old days too. When if you rented a room as a man and wife, or had a chance of clothes at someone's house you could be considered married. And adultery was actually grounds for a divorce. One thing has not changed though, the desire of the average American for an armed revolution, it is in our blood, it has always been there, we have always been ready, and willing, that has never diminished. We always dream of that glory. We are just waiting, tomorrow will be a great day. We have plans, our friends are all ready, we have the guns and the ammo and the Ford F-150s ready. I know because I have been writing about the upcoming revolution and what life will be like when we finally take over, and run the country the way we want to. As a veteran myself. I know many of my friends that are ready and willing to take up arms and defend the #Constitution and defeat the #Communist, just hang in there. We want to eliminate corruption in the government. If we could just start small and clean up our cities and towns, our counties and the states, but the corruption closer to home serves our purpose, it helps our businesses, it helps us with our contracts, it gets jobs for our kin folk, and it helps us keep them "others" in line. Don't mention it! May be I will go item by item as to how our revolution is doomed, before we can get started. And we can change the country. Our friends overseas want nothing more than the United States to self destruct, if you think that any country in the world will miss the United States you are wrong, just study the geo politics , surprise yourself.

HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED I 2b

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 I 2b To quote once again from "the Kybalion", "All truths are but half truths, all paradoxes may be reconciled". But we live in the age of lies, age of accusations, promised are made never to be kept. And sheep are being led to the slaughter house. Why can't we just live in peace and prosper. Why can't we live in harmony, we could you know. If only we didn't listen to the snake old salesmen. It is not just the politics, they are using the religion, to divide us, I will show you. We say that we believe, we say that we a moral and loving people, nothing could be further than the truth. Now you can believe any lie that you wish, left or right, I will try to show you how bothsides are lying, and I will show you lose what avenue you take. Give me time, and follow along. Most humans are emotional beings, unless one happens to be a sociopath. We have created generations of sociopaths and psychopaths, on both sides, people that are the most immoral are chosen, by us, as our leaders, because they exactly represent our values of which do not have any. We have been brainwashed. Left, right and center, we are a lost sheep, our "shepherds are wolves in sheep's clothing" . It doesn't matter who you are, where you are, what side you are on or against, there is phenomenon called "highway hypnosis", you are driving down a straight road, or you are driving on a familiar road, time passes, you have no idea how long, suddenly you are miles away and don't remember anything, you don't know how you made it, have no memory, something happens, you are focused on whatever you are involved with, you forget about the world around you, you don't what has happened around you, what you saw, what you passed by, what you have seen, you are "there". We get involved in our affairs, and the times change, we don't notice. We live in a neighborhood, everyone does the same thing, our group of friends has the same ideas, same ideologies, we don't notice if they are right or wrong, we follow along, we get used to it. It will be hard for me to tell a "liberal" friend how the welfare system, as we have today, is destroying families, leading to child abuse and neglect, leading to drug use, and worse, or that if a child chooses to play with a doll they should not be "encouraged" to follow other gender norms. Similarly if I were to tell a conservative friend that if you are living of grid and want to use solar energy, then it will be just fine to use solar energy in the city, at least as a backup plan, it will be okay even to drive a hybrid. We don't see simple solutions that can work. We must go all out, be at eachother's throat for every little thing because our politicians tell us to, because this is how they make money, secure their base, and keep the power.

HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED I 2a

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 I 2a Obviously, we are a very smart people, atleast we like to think so. There is in old Jackie Chan movie called "Rush hour" where Chris Tucker asks Jackie "do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth". Well do we? Do we even understand the words that come out of our own mouths? We have stories about America, or should I say "myths", we make statements that are totally opposite of eachother and we claim that bothsides are true. Actually, I don't think that we even realize that we are making contradictory claims. So we say we are a smart people, are we? Do we really believe it? How? I mean we go about all day complaining about how dumb every other person that we deal with is! From our bosses to our clerks, the people at any office, the people that answer at call centers, the fast food workers, the store help, the servers at the restaurants and so on. Our day passes dealing with "stupid" ( your definition) and yet we claim that we are a nation of smart people, I don't know, what do you think? Then there is the idea of the "hard working Americans" usually the term is used by the politicians at all levels, where are they though? Who are those hard working Americans? We lie to ourselves and we believe all the lies we are told, that is not smart, is it? Ask any boss, any manager at the local Dollar store, and construction supervisor, they will tell you how difficult it is to find good workers, but we like being lied to, politicians know we like to be told lies, we are a nation of heroes, unsung and otherwise, trust me no one in our country is "worthless", but! We call some of our workers "essential" meaning that without these workers the economy will stall, come to a halt, and then ask the politicians " should these workers get a rise in the minimum wage" and see what happens. Ask the Ron DeSantis, ask Abbott, no! What are we? Who are we? We don't even know ourselves, we don't even understand the words that are coming out of our mouths! It is late, I will continue with this part again soon. M. N. R. 17 JULY 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 HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED I1 If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there. Lewis Carroll If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else. Yogi Berra if you don't where you are going how will you know when you are lost M. N. R. We have good intentions, we always have good intentions, no wonder we are upset about the corrupt government, corrupt officials, corrupt people. Oh no, it is not us, we are good people, it is those others, always those others, they have no character, no values, they are lazy, and they mooch off the people like us, they are the leeches. It is always those others, the people on welfare, the poor, the disabled, and those others. And look, the politicians are always pointing them out, there has to be a reason, the politicians are smarter than us, they can see. Really? Have you ever seen someone on welfare that became a millionaire by being on foodstamps? Or an elderly on social security that was buying carb legs with their Social security payments. Yes, I have seen people on foodstamps buying crab legs, buying chips and ice with stamps and buying beer with their cash. I have seen people living in subsidized housing with fancy cars and $3000 wheels. And I really don't care. I used to work with a retired Colonel, he was a GS-12 and was riffed to GS-7, with save pay, he was also a VA 100%percent disabled, he was making real money. Then there are developers, they own 100s of units of "subsidized housing" collecting millions in rent from the federal government, getting depreciation tax cuts, and the poor living in those apartments getting the blame for being moochers. How about your fake colleges and universities that collect millions for "education" while their students sometimes don't even exist. You see where I am going with this! I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N.

INTO THE ABYSS 185 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 185 B So, some of my posts upset you. I like that. I post stuff that makes you think, maybe not, but the will show you that not everyone agrees with whatever viewpoints you hold dear. I posted a quote just yesterday, from Winston Churchill " if two people agree on everything, one of them is useless", one of them is not using their own brain. Don't worry, it is always useful to disagree with someone, we disagree with our spouses, our parents, our friends, bosses and colleagues all the time. Which brings me to the point I started with last night, "George Orwell was so wrong. He thought that somewhere in a dystopian future, a government will control the media and use the television to brainwash the public. That the government will burn the books to keep the people from learning. The government will try to scuttle the flow of information so as to subjugate the people. How wrong he was, the government mo longer has to do any such thing. We are doing it to ourselves, doing it proudly, We are staying ignorant willingly. We are obeying the government that we hate so much, we are so blind, so ill-informed that we don't even see that. There are serious issues with our education system, I noted that over twenty years ago, I wrote about the problems and about the possible improvements of the system. Neither side is interested, whether it is the liberals that want lower standards so that everyone can "pass", did I mention that the conservatives also want the same. Bothsides want to push their agendas that have nothing at all to do with "reading, writing and arithmetic" , it is about social engineering, whether it is the "drag shows or the Bible and the prayer". Whether it is the CRT ( which is not taught in schools ) or whether the school should be an extension of the Sunday school. (In as much as no sex Ed, no evolution) . We fail our kids. Time after time our kids show that they are not prepared for the future. The media is owned by the big corporations, they are not in it to inform, they are in it to produce the next generation of consumers. They are in it to mislead, misdirect and misinform, pick your poison, whatever channel you like. Poor Orwell didn't know about the 300 channels plus pay-per-view. You can pay to be brainwashed. In the Matrix you were plugged into a computer to download programs directly into your brain, in the real world you don't need to be wired to the computer, you can get anything from a sermon, to how to rob a bank, how to rape torture and kill, just use your remote. No wonder every citizen at every level is ready and willing to kill another, murder is our solution to every problem. Even the "good guys" in the police, FBI, SWAT and NCIS shows are good because they kill the other guy. We can no longer "just get along", even our presidents approve of murder. And our school boards like the book burnings. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 14 JULY 2022

INTO THE ABYSS 185 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 185 A Poor George Orwell, he was so very wrong about so many things you know, but we will talk about him later. As I posted earlier, "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice, but sometimes we need our ignorance just to survive. Can you imagine what will happen if one suddenly realized that they have been wrong all along, and about everything. You know like when people find out that the person that raised them was not their actual parent, or that their partner of the last so many years was a cheat, a serial cheater. It is tough, it can destroy the person, so sometimes we just lie to ourselves, we keep the fantasy going. It is not that unusual really. A while back I had posted a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt, “Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility". a lot of people liked it, but what, what does that "responsibility" even mean? Many people today talk about preserving the #Constitution, of course that is a responsibility of every single American, but there more that do not actually understand what the Constitution means, they just decide, without any knowledge as to what it means, and why not, even the Supreme Court justices and the people in the Congress always try to make it "mean" what it does not, of we could only go back to what it says and not what someone says. Then again, we have justices that have perjured themselves as declared in the #Constitution itself. But we will get to that point also, later. Winston Churchill said, if two people agree about everything then one of them is unnecessary. Good thing that we disagree. We are at a point we were warned about, the infighting, the "I want it all to myself" attitude, to win at all cost. It is not just the politics though, look at our crime rates, the robberies, the killings, the bribery, the greed, the embezzlement, the drug trafficking, the marketing, the CEO pay, the corporate greed, the destruction of small business, the monopolies, the environment, the high school games, the peewee leagues, it is all about winning at all cost. But we are all innocent. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 13 JULY 2022

INTO THE ABYSS 184 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 184 B I was talking to Rick today, is younger than I, not much but. I finally figured out why I am always tired. I need 8 hours of sleep but I usually get up after 6 or 6 and half hours to go to bathroom and can't go back to sleep. So I need a nap or I am tired. I used to go days, weeks even in two to three hours of sleep, back then we didn't have energy drinks either. I have been married for 36 years, my eldest daughter has been married for five. I am a bit over 7 years older than my wife, John's parents are younger, his father is just under 65 and his mom much younger, both my wife and I and John's parents were married on the same day in 1986. (We didn't know eachother till the kids were married. Today, I seldom see a couple in their fifties, and sometimes in their forties that has not been married three times, has not had kids with more than one partner, I am not judging, it is just how it is, no one bats an eye. What effect it has on the kids, on the family family finances, who cares, go see a therapist. Half of the nation has a therapist the other half needs one still. We have learned to make excuses to justify our bad behavior, and no one is guilty. I am not saying that I hadn't been a bad boy, always single , GI, good career, young, whatever, I had a good time, I also learned a few things, from watching, experimenting. We could always talk about the costs of such "freedoms", I even wrote an essay about it years ago, how much such "freedom" costs in dollars and cents. You should read it, ask me for that link. But we are Americans, and we set the trends that the world follows. We establish the culture of the world. But since we are Americans, we know how to calculate the GDP. Everything we do adds to our GDP, someone gets killed, someone goes to jail, someone has an STD, doesn't matter, it counts, it adds to the gross domestic product of the country. Remember the cost of a funeral, cost of treating a bullet wound, help for the disabled, overtime for the police, the pay of a nurse, the cost of paying a judge, a coroner, the settlement of a lawsuit against police misconduct, the profits of drug company, they all count in the GDP, we have created an economic miracle, everyone can be a millionaire, or die trying.

INTO THE ABYSS 184 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 184 A It is almost midnight, again, I always (there is no such thing as always, or never, trust me), write close to midnight, so the date at the bottom is either the present date or the tomorrow's date. I write into the future, you see, even you the reader are in the future from where you started reading this post. We always live in the "future" the past over with each word that you read. Every word you read is in the past as you read it. I am seventy years in to future from my birth. We reminisce about the past, and we don't know anything about the future. What did you know about today thirty years ago, what you had predicted, you are living it now right? We don't know what the future will be, even when we think what it will be like is a mere wishful thinking. Then we talk about how great the things were in the days of yore. Really, what was so good about the days of yore that you want to go back to, how many days of the past were so great? Before you were married, before you had the kids, a bigger house, a boat may be, before you had a newer car, back when you had a time paying the bills, how many days were really great? I listen to the stories of the people of my age, it is always the same ten, fifteen or thirty stories, over fifty or even seventy years, rest of the days were either mundane or days of struggles. Are you an exception? Probably not, think! We have two lives, most of us do, one about a real day to day life, and the other that is a pure fantasy where all the bad is excluded and all the good is illuminated, extra bright. If only our lives were so perfect. So you want to change the world? So what is keeping you? Man has tried for eons, may be this is your turn, it is your time. Did you read the last post? I will put the link in the comments. Our problem is that we want to change the world in our own image, we want the things only the way that we like, no room for anyone else, no other ideas. That also is not new, over time all systems fail, over time, all ideas show their flaws, we search for perfection in an imperfect world, because we are imperfect ourselves. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M.

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 Jude 1:16 These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage. I make no apologies, on this, my blog, you will find many things, things that interest me, I like many things, from mundane, absurd and shallow, to deep, philosophical, scientific, psychological, even sometimes moral and religious. I am not a religious person, I am not a moral person, I find it absurd when people want to impress others by their religious creeds, if you are moral and religious you won't have to argue about it on a blog post. Trust me. Also, I find it absurd when people have one and the same argument about everything, one and the same solution to all problems. We get involved in world affairs knowingly, we decide to become a part of a corrupt system and then complain about its failings. We complain because and only when we believe we are failing, and then we say that the system is failing us. Philosophers, prophets and seers always told us to stay away, to stay apart. We fail, we are greedy, we are needy, we want, we want and we want. If only we could see our own part in its failings. The fact is that the biggest complainers don't actually want to fix the system, they just want it to work some more in their favor, corruptly or otherwise. Anyway, like that page and follow, there is always something to surprise you, or something for you to disagree with Thanks I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 07 JULY 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 A Morality can only be taught by example! Or something like that. From the beginning of man's awareness, of "self" and his surroundings, we have searched for a reason, why we are here, who we are, not everyone though. Most of humanity, even today, spends the life in the mundane. Then we think, some of us do. Not all, we have had seers and philosophers, prophets, preachers, scholors and teachers of all stripe, telling us who we are, why we are here, the purpose of life. Most of are satisfied, not curious, but those that look for a meaning are still searching, still looking, still learning. If asked, most people today will readily say that they "think", that they "care", that they "know", but what? What do we think, what do we care about, what do we know, I mean beyond ourselves, in all regards. If we think about the economy, it only about how we will be affected personally, even then we know we have desires but really no control, if we care, we care only about ourselves and what is happening to us at a very narrow personal level, and what about "knowledge" beyond what "we" like or dislike. Really what? I write. I post, I read comments, and usually the comments are only about personal preferences, not about how even the simplest of things affect the whole country. The whole world. I am not "hopeless". I am aware that life will go on, whether I like the things or not, I know the future. I don't like what I see, but it will be, as we were warned. Not in religious terms. Let's not talk about that, it is too, personal, and I will argue about personal beliefs. Whether climate change is real, whether population control is a possibility. Will the earth will become inhabitable in short order, are we being controlled by the Lizard people, is there a baby eating cabal, are we living in a simulation, will AI take over? All is possible and impossible at the sametime. We are living in denial, our governments, the world over are lying, and those that say they will stand up against oppression are deluding themselves, I am not being pessimistic, I am realistic enough to see beyond the shadows. What I said in 2003 has not changed, everyday we are closer to the inevitable, like it or not, it cannot, will not be changed. Our economic model is a disaster, we all realize that, we complain about it, but we live with it, we talk about how it needs to be changed but we have no alternative, we are stuck. No wonder the politicians on the left or the right are not offering a fix, they are happy to have us fighting amongst ourselves, about abortion, about critical race theory, about school prayer, about whatever. We know and they know that consumption causes pollution, we are polluting the planet, and more consumers means even more pollution, then what? What is the solution? We all want more money so we can consume even more, more money means bigger deficits, bigger deficits cause inflation, inflation causes poverty, lower standards of living, and government borrows even more. But what do you want anyway? You and I want whatever we want and no one better ask us to change anything. What then?

" So what is remembering? Long ago, back in our school days, we were told to remember things, it was called learning, as we learned more, we were able to "connect" those lessons, new things learned added to our knowledge, (so we were told), it is the way things have been since we started "learning". We learn what a wrench is, what a socket is, before we can become a mechanic. We learn how things work together. What if we refuse to learn though, we can say, okay, I know what a screwdriver is and that is enough. But then are you a mechanic, can you say how an engine is put together let alone how it works? Still, in our day to day life we see people that are stuck in this mindset. In all walks of life, in all manners, we all have high hopes for ourselves, we know everything. Just because you can have sex doesn’t mean that you can afford a family, that you know how to be a parent, no more than you know how the national or the world economy works just because you own a lawn care or a construction company, really. Having an opinion is easy. Having the knowledge is different. Totally. One of the faults of the modern media saturated culture is that we seem to believe that we know much more than we actually do. Once again, I go back to Plato's Allegory of the Cave, we only know what we have learned, no more no less, or as I like to say, "we are limited in our knowledge by what we know". Morality can only be taught by example! I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 03 JULY 2022

INTO THE ABYSS 182 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 182 A I didn't write last night, I wanted more people to read my last essay, "How Americans are Played", but I guess due to algorithms most of the people never saw it. I didn't get distruted as some other posts did. It was a serious topic, about how the Christian ethics got undermined, how we lost our focus on personal lives, and personal ethics and morals, how our characters were destroyed to achieve political goals. Maybe some of will still scroll down and read it, I will put the link in the comments. It is 4th of July weekend, the celebrations have already started, the military post next door already did the fireworks tonight so the soldiers and the civilians can start a 4 day weekend. It is more important, apparently, to get a vacation, go to the beach have picnics and whatever else. Do the American thing, go shop. For the past 43 years, I have never lived more than 10 miles away from the gates of Ft. Rucker, Alabama. In 1976, as luck would have it, on the "Bicentennial" I was stationed at Ft. Belvoir. Being stationed at Ft. Belvoir from June 1976 to September 1976 was a great opportunity to learn the history of the US, I visited DC every single weekend, visiting historical land marks, memorials, Smithsonian and so many other sites. The 4th of July 1976, It was a Sunday, busses were available for the troops that wished to come into DC for the celebrations. I visited the Arlington cemetery, the Tomb of Unknown, the JFK memorial. At night I saw the fireworks at the Washington Monument. I was lucky, right place at the right time. Patriotism felt different, the #Constitution meant different also. Life, history, reality, war, everything really, looks different depending upon your vantage point. 1976 everything felt different than it does today, and I am sure it looked different depending upon who you are, where you lived, what you were doing and what you did, depending also in your skin color and your background. Race riots, Vietnam, Kennedy, assassination, MLK and Malcom X assassinations, killing of Bobby Kennedy, Roe V Wade, Watergate, Nixon resignation, school desegregation, Tate Labianca murders, Texas University shootings, Mai Lai massacre, all from 1963 to 1976, what all do you remember, what do you care, do you? Remembering does make us who we are, also ignoring what we should remember does it too. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 01 JULY 2022

HOW AMERICANS ARE PLAYED H1

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

FINAL THOUGHTS F2

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

FINAL THOUGHTS F1

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

FINAL THOUGHTS G2

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

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE 13

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

CONNECTING THE DOTS 1A

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

RANDOM PSYCHOLOGY 133

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

FINAL THOUGHTS G 1

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

FINAL THOUGHTS F 2

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

FINAL THOUGHTS F 1

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

INTO THE ABYSS 181 b

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

INTO THE ABYSS 182 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 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

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 a I know, this is out of sequence, I am still working on two essays, sorta simultaneously, and these thoughts popped up. 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
