Mid-spring into early summer is a busy period with more time needed to be spent outside and not sitting in front of a computer for hours. Much has happened in the interim. As I attempted to pore over news feeds and commentary sources in an effort to gather information, attempt to vet sources, listen to my gut, sort it all out, and then sit to write, something else would happen and the process would begin again, leaving the previous project incomplete. I had every intention of returning to complete each unfinished bit of business but events—disturbing events—seemed to be happening so often and so quickly that it became obvious I would never catch up.
Now it’s summer. People get busy with their lives and pay less attention to what is going on outside of their personal pursuits and self-absorbed lives (if that’s even possible). We have more information sources than ever in history yet on the whole remain woefully ignorant and clueless, unable to assimilate and question what is happening and connect the dots. Washington and the state houses know this and use it to advance their respective agendas knowing the public is otherwise engaged and blissfully ignorant. No one pays much attention to what is happening until after Labor Day. But even if they get a whiff of what is happening, and even if they care, they are powerless to change it.
But this is an election year. The strangest ever. The contrived conventions are over leaving us with train-wrecks for nominees. Nothing is slowing down; events are accelerating so fast that even a concerned and informed public can’t keep up.
More to follow later on that thought. I am getting angrier by the day.
So what can I do to try to keep up, with and comment on, what is happening all around us in plain site but to which most seem blind or oblivious? The only logical recourse is to make these posts about no specific topics but attempt to show interconnections through free-form, stream-of-consciousness posting, with copious links to sources.
I will start by saying how much I want to thank all those who bought into the soundbites and slogans of “hope and change” in 2008. There was plenty of information to be found about the poser and impostor that inhabits the White House to tell us all we needed to know about him—it’s all still out there, easy to find. I know, I know, doing so would take away from your countless other self-absorbed activities. He has played true-to-form, no surprises to those of us who paid attention in 2007.
I will bite my tongue on what I wish I could do to all of you who are responsible for keeping this fraud in power by re-electing him. The only reason I won’t go off-the-wall berserk about that point is because the election was in the bag anyway. Loads of proof of that out there, also easy to find. I hope you realize what you hath wrought.
I also want to thank the press for doing such a fine job of not doing their job. And I would like to send a special shout-out to the feckless and spineless Republican members of the House and Senate for doing such a fine job of pretending to be an opposition party and for not producing a single viable presidential candidate…again. And let’s not forget the Supremes and the fine job they do legislating from the bench with incredibly bizarre and twisted politically motivated jurisprudence.
Yep, the country is dead. The flush down the toilet will finish in January of next year.
I’m not sure who deserves the lion-share of the blame for the implosion of this country. Actually I do: It’s the potentially overwhelmed, but more likely, disengaged public who holds no one accountable. I especially despise single-issue voters. You know who you are and I hope you know what you have done.
Cause and effect… Get used to that phrase because I will be using it often as I plod on as time and sanity permits.
Two major thrusts: First will be to present the ever-expanding role of government, perverted beyond anything the founders could ever contemplate, and the consequences. The most pernicious effect of that growth is the rise of the administrative/deep state who’s power is independent of whomever has the White House or control of Congress.
The second is the scourge of creeping incrementalism, also known as creeping normality. If we get the public to accept this, then later we can add just a little more and get them to accept that. Lather, rinse, repeat. The net result is that anything the government implements tends to be with us forever—especially (pay attention!) if said implementation gives some class of constituency free money! Budget cuts? Sure, but don’t a slice of my pie! This is the reason creeping normality must be stopped in its tracks. Stopped when the madness begins to come to the forefront of carefully primed supporting media discussion, usually masquerading as “news,” priming the political pump, giving fresh fodder to make hay by our exalted legislatures at all levels so they can claim they have “done something,” expanding their power and reaching ever-further into all aspects of our lives, with consequences that can almost never be undone.
And as government gets larger, deficits balloon, money is created but made more and more worthless as we move closer and closer to total dependency on government… and a totalitarian state.
The same approach applies to politically legitimizing social engineering such as the LGBT agenda.
Check back often to see if I have begun pull all this together.
