Post Election Ramblings

[ABNARTY]

***It took me a while to figure out how to post a new thread. I think that was the plan RN3 (or now RN4???). Keep that dude quiet

Trying parse out how I feel and what I think after all this is difficult but I need to do it. As NB4D says, 'For every one person that reads this post, 7.99 billion have not. Still I post'. In my case, all have not, but I Soldier on.  

For the record, I am not an R or D. I do not have one issue I vote on. So to claim "I won" or "I lost" yesterday does not have much meaning for me. I don't watch the MSM so I don't even have a team in that regard.

However, I do have feelings and thoughts on the state of our beloved experiment here in the US. So, in no particular order...

- Why are citizens (for the most part) so tribal? I understand it is human nature but why can't they look past that? They need to secure an environment more conducive to the betterment of their families and communities. No party will provide that. They are simply corporations looking to consolidate wealth and power. If they have to lie to you to do so, so be it. You mean nothing to them. Are the lies more comforting than the cold truth? 

- If we can't solve election "irregularities", we are done. Look at Arizona. Maricopa county. How can anyone think there is nothing afoul going on there? Voting is not complex. The only reason to make it complicated is to obfuscate for malfeasance. Yet, the citizens of that county just keep rolling with it. What happens when that beast turns on you? What then? 

- Is the plan to staff the entire elected segment of our government with mentally challenged individuals as puppets? I guess they have run out of willing stooges? First the President, now Senators (looking at you Pennsylvania), what's next? Those people need help, they don't need to be exploited. The Governor of my state is feckless, he does nothing except what gets fed to him. I guess if you are a Deep Stater or powerful corporate entity, puppets are preferable. They can do as told, take the public heat, and are expendable. 

- Regardless of who gets elected, I do not have much hope for positive change. WEF bulls*** seems to be the order of the day. As a taxpayers, I am not OK with umpteen billion $$$ going to Ukraine or other places while my country rots. But I guess that makes me a conspiracy theorist, a bigot, or whatever the current slur of the week is. I happen to think the Constitution is a good blue print. I guess Trudeau would say that thought is unacceptable.    

I try to counter all this negativity with positive actions on my tiny homestead. Gardening, preserving food stores, stocking up on items, being cordial with my neighbors, working on personal growth, posting to the Rogues, etc. Does it help?

I would say that the answer is nanobots. I think my answer has something to do with me being in the middle of reading Dean Koontz's "The Whispering Room".

I don't think tribalism or human nature has anything to do with the toxic mental status so many seem to be presently infected with. I think it is more a Pavlovian response to conditioning and brain washing than anything intrinsic or inherent.

Refocusing time and energy away from the negativity, is a sound and prudent solution.

Yes, Arizona, specifically as you mentioned "Maricopa county" continues to boggle my mind.

Spot on...Yes, it helps knowing that I, we, are not alone in that line of thinking.

I don't know who all is the 'force' of the hidden hand that has been slithering, subverting, infiltrating world governments, and culture and polarizing the populace to extremes, but they sure have been one helluva wrecking crew. Sure looks & smells like the WEF, but they may be just a front, since they receive way too much attention.

Individual empowerment and social, cultural & moral fabric are all far more important than tribal party weaponized politics. However, I think it goes way beyond tribal warfare when you review the past 20-30 years of Hegelian cybernetic mind manipulation Psywarfare on the masses.

The Wetiko concept meme, Wendigo psychosis or the "Wetiko Mind Virus" (and here) perpetuated by the mass media Mindwar reality distortion and the continuous war for our minds, body, & spirit today, in mental enslavement. The hive mind runs on anger, anxiety, and fear. I came to know of "Wetiko" years ago because my ex is half Cree.

Which has infected just about all facets of life like an aggressive cancer. To me this fake D & R party is worse than cancer for the Country, mostly because they talk like Abbie Hoffman & walk like Gordon Gekko. You're hearing all this talk about GenZ saving the day for Biden. It may or may not be true, but half of them are severely mentally ill. That's not an insult, it's a documented medical fact and it was done to them. And most of them have no bootstraps to pull themselves up by. Young people vote for Dems not only because they've been programmed since day care, but because they hope that Biden or whoever may toss them a UBI when things get too lean. They're definitely mistaken, but what does the GOP offer them besides 80s nostalgia?

Hard-line tribal warfare is exhausting to me and is the classic divide & conquer. "Tribalized politics" is slander, demagoguery, and ideological regurgitation. Everything but rationality, and boy, the past few years we have all seen it play out on the world stage and so much more.

When people get too deep into binary party politics, it often blinds and distracts them from things that would really move the needle in their life and others. It becomes a team sport and form of entertainment, with a big championship (election) every 4 years. This opinion may be unpopular, but until you have your general life in order (habits, beliefs, health, wealth, happiness), spending HUGE amounts of time on politics is a wasteful distraction.

Get your self, family, money and relationships in order first. You have limited energy. If you have your life in basic order, you are better protected, prepared, and have options, no matter who wins whatever election...Relying on your 'team' to win for you to be happy and thriving is a major loss. Make sure you'll be good either way. Use your energy wisely.

I think a lot of people (out on the big media platforms) who will agree are the same people who will go right back to monolithic party tribalism as soon as they start scrolling again. Hard-line tribal warfare is the natural result of a species that is largely controlled by the ego.

Tribalism benefits nobody in a modern civilization. Anything divisive or dogmatic. Anything where someone "other" has to be vilified so that the "we" can claim moral superiority and justification. For any and all actions, will only stagnate any further human progress. American civilization was based on individual liberties and rights. Going back to tribal/identity politics is regressive and pushing us further backwards not forward.


Socrates discoursing with his fellow citizens:
– What do you want, souls of rational men or irrational?
– Souls of rational men.
– Of what rational men, sound or unsound?
– Sound.
– Why then do you not seek for them?
– Because we have them.
– Why then do you fight and quarrel?
“Strong minds discuss ideas,
average minds discuss events,
weak minds discuss people.”
– Socrates

I won't get in any useless flame wars with the Twitterati today, tomorrow, or next week. I really wish Trump would just retire to a private island and disappear from sight & mind. Be kind and generous and just let them enjoy their last respite because winter is coming for nearly all of them, hardcore. MAGA is chasing after phantoms. There's no stopping this country's decline and ultimate dissolution. The split-up (of some kind) of the USA I think will occur well before 2050. That's not a tragedy, it's an inevitability and also a tremendous opportunity. Remember, Fortune favors the Bold; chance favors the prepared mind.

The Wolves Within

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life:

“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy."

"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil–he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego."

He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you–and inside every other person, too.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

I saw a Joni Mitchell quote a few days ago that fit very well here. Took me a few but I found it. Just substitute politics for music and I think you'll catch my drift!

This election did not really spark my interest. As most here know, i am not even American.

But i will make a list about a few things i am pleased about:

-Maryland and Missouri legalized recreational cannabis use

-"Voters in Alabama, Oregon, Tennessee and Vermont have officially abolished slavery in all forms by voting to amend their state constitutions, removing a legal exception that still permitted slavery and involuntary servitude as forms of punishment for crimes."

-Ron DeSantis kicked butt.

As of right now, at the federal level the Senate was +/- 1 seat. The House was +/-7 or so seats. Governors were +/-2. For a midterm election, this is nothing. It might as well not even happened there is so little difference. The states themselves, as you mentioned, did some good stuff. I can appreciate the lack of interest. It's up there with paint drying.

It didn't help when Trump came in and started eating the young.

Knowing how corrupt and controlled the participants in this game can be, I would not be the least surprised to find out that he is just doing what he is instructed to do.

Elections Fatigue??? More like, BS fatigue. How much more crap can we continue to swallow?

BS Fatigue. I like that. It should be classified as an official disease. Or maybe it is sanity at it's finest, not sure.
Crap swallowing festival will continue. It is gonna get worse, before it gets even worse. Looking at you, World Economic Forum.

[Minstrel]

If 2-5% of the voting public were too busy partying, scrambling to be 'influencers', and crying about how prior generations screwed (and continue to screw) them...their votes would likely go, invariably & en masse, with whatever the MSM-talking-heads instructed...and that would likely be 'straight party ticket/s'...growing the hurdle-to-sane-results to an almost unmanageable height.

If that portion of the voting public is more like 8-12% (or more)...there is probably no hope for salvation.

IMO, they are not to blame for their effective idiocy. We produced them. Just as we were 'produced' by our predecessors...

Any consideration/s - that shadowy-Others, dedicated to the destruction of Freedom, have been working, non-stop, to put Us All back into servitude, slavery, and even - extinction - was effectively quashed before I entered High School (circa - the early 1970's).

Furthermore - by the time of my first child's birth, I had already given up on the notion that anything I did (or, could do) would make a fractional-degree of difference in the direction this nation was/(is) going..and sadly, I would venture to guess that the majority of Gen X-Y-Millenial-Z's, as well, consider 'voting' (in concert) just another item to rally around, at the beer-pong table...

Summarily - We were screwed long before the 2022 mid-terms.

Please pardon my optimism.

Yep, this is a great one. I ran across this story maybe 5 years ago. It has been in my mind on / off ever since.

I want the good wolf to win. But sometimes my mind sinks into this very dark and cold place. How do i actually feed the good wolf? What do i have to do? I swear i will try.

NightSkye you are definitely one of the good humans. How do you feed the good wolf? Especially as you witness a lot of evil stuff. I don't, but still i struggle with this concept.

Sorry for the off-topic but i could really use some guidance, regarding this.

"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil–he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego."


He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you–and inside every other person, too.”



The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf will win?”



 The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

One of my favorites.

Too bad too many of us keep feeding the beast.

Yep, this is a great one. I ran across this story maybe 5 years ago. It has been in my mind on / off ever since.



I want the good wolf to win. But sometimes my mind sinks into this very dark and cold place. How do i actually feed the good wolf? What do i have to do? I swear i will try.



NightSkye you are definitely one of the good humans. How do you feed the good wolf? Especially as you witness a lot of evil stuff. I don't, but still i struggle with this concept.



Sorry for the off-topic but i could really use some guidance, regarding this.

Thanks Finn, it is not easy, and life experiences have taught me that mistakes can be powerful learning experiences.

I grew up in a poor but loving community, that laid a strong foundation for love of family and community. Being blessed to have lived a good life, put me in a position where serving my community is enjoyable to me, and provides me with the purpose I need to get out of bed in the morning and remain productive.

I truly "love" everyone that I meet, until they give me a reason not to love them. 

If you ask any of my nine siblings, what do they remember most about our childhood, they will all tel you, "Laughter". I try to distribute joy, peace, and laughter, wherever I go and in everything I do.

I had a case most recently where an lady in her 70's had been sexually assaulted. She was emotionally wrought. When she left she was laughing. She asked me if she could hug me, of course I gave her a hug. She told me that she did not think she would ever be able to laugh again, and thanked me for restoring laughter to her spirit.

That is exactly why I do what I do.

I do not believe that magic is real. But that is pretty damn close to magic. Thank you for everything you do. You set a fine example to us all.

There are only two consequences you can draw looking at the election of John Frankenstein to the Senate, the good people of Pennsylvania have either lost their minds (collective amnesia), OR something more nefarious went on Tuesday. Wait, three...it was a long time coming given the past state of affairs as the signs were everywhere.

["There is a time for every purpose under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to heal and a time to kill,
a time to build and a time to tear down,
a time to laugh and a time to weep,
a time to dance and a time to mourn,
a time to gather stones and a time to scatter,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to seek and a time to lose,
a time to keep and a time to cast away,
a time to sew and a time to rend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for peace and a time for war."]

RIP Pennsylvania.



This is why this was the “craziest” election ever and defied all predictions. Ballot harvesting is how they won in 2020. (81 million ballots harvested. Not 81 million votes.) And this is how it will be done going forward, so kiss our Constitutional Republic goodby. We are living in a Democracy now! - God help us.

Big Picture, 2022 Midterm Elections Highlight the Distinct Difference Between Ballots and Votes

Blood Moon Bloodbath... Democrats Steal Midterms, Communism Comes Home to America...Crime, Inflation, Record Gas Prices, War, Open Borders and Corruption WIN BIGLY!

California and New York proved to America that once the communists take control there is no going back – to civility.

Next, a Marvel Team-Up of Stacey Abrams, Charlie Crist and Beto.

Guess I better stock up my bunker for the long dark winter ride.

They voted the way one would when living in Walnut Grove from the series 'Little House On The Prairie', they
voted with a child-like heart.

I do not get invited to Davos anymore. Hard to keep up.

LMAO

I didn't get invited down to Mar-A-Lago for Thanksgiving Dinner either.

Nobody's the guy who gets my vote from now on ... even if it is a negative on my Social Credit Score.
