Random Musings on Current Events 11.24.2023

Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in the media from behind the front lines of a purple state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format.

Does anyone else feel that there is an unseen or rather unknown power or powers that are conspiring and working together to keep them from thriving? This invisible force will allow one just enough to survive but will do all in its or their power to ever keep one from going to the next level, so to speak.

Personally, I have had several instances in which I have tried to “break out” of my station only to see the “rules” change. One particular instance, that comes to mind, is in the 2000’s when I started to invest in real estate, working hard to minimize debt, then watching the market crash in the late 2000’s, watch some financial institutions fail as a result, then thinking that a lot of distressed properties would come onto the market and that I might be able to pick up a couple of these properties up as investments. Instead, many of the properties that were foreclosed upon sat vacant for years as their condition’s deteriorated. When they finally did come on the market the local real estate market had bottomed and the same foreclosed properties came up for sale one or two at a time and they were being sold through large national real estate companies that previously had no local representation. It gradually became obvious to me that the too big to fail finance houses and its surrogates in Washington D.C. were firmly in control and that the free market no longer existed, at least in Real Estate. That I lived in a quasi-fascist reality in which politically connected interests were allowed to survive in this once great nation. In other words, winners and losers are not determined by the marketplace but rather by political interests and for political reasons.

Lately, I have been thinking about how rapidly the giants of Silicon Valley rose squashing their competition and subsequently how they have colluded with government interests. Now this has been proven that the Silicon Valley “media” giants colluded with entrenched government interests to see that President Trump did not retain the office of President. It is my opinion they did not elect Joe Biden but rather they worked to ensure President Trump did not retain the office and it really is sad and, quite frankly, criminal. Yet again, hidden interests in the corridors of national power are picking winners and losers to maintain their power, plain and simple. Is Donald Trump a perfect man? No, absolutely not, but the alternative is Joe Biden and he is the best they can offer me as a naturally born man of the united states of America? Give me a break, the man and those around him are overtly supporting a communist dictator, laundered money through Afghanistan, the Ukraine, and now apparently Israel is more important than my own country? It is also my opinion that Facebook, Google, and Amazon received dark money from three letter agencies in the United States through cut outs or however these agencies fund their malfeasance and treason.

Back to these giant behemoths of Silicon Valley and the amount of power they wield; it is my opinion that there is no way these giants became as large as they have without the help of three letter government agencies. All one has to do is look at the type of power they wield and how it benefits tyrants. These giants essentially have monopolies in the gathering of information on each and every individual who uses the internet for whatever they use the internet for and I have no doubt government agencies have back doors to this data. Everything from internet searches, views, purchases and whatever else are logged and saved in giant data bases throughout the country and world and more continue to be built. This data is then saved to be mined for whatever reason whether nefarious or benign, if needed, in the future. These companies can then mine the data to tailor and target individuals for marketing reasons or more nefariously in the case of three letter agencies to run psychological operations against us plebeians to ensure the major wielders of power maintain their power. Am I supposed to believe these are the good guys? Am I to believe that they care a wit about my welfare and that of my family and friends? In fact, and I have said this before, at what point do these so called human beings become a clear and present threat to the safety and wellbeing of me and my loved ones?

A car has blown up at the Rainbow Bridge border crossing between Canada and the United States near Niagara Falls on the New York side. Geez, the day before Thanksgiving on one of, if not the largest, days in which the number of people are traveling in the united States. I am so comforted knowing the FBI is on the scene and now know that I will never know the true story of what happened as the cover up masters have taken over the crime scene.

Speaking of another incident on the day before Thanksgiving yet another train has derailed, this time in Kentucky, and at least two of the fifteen cars that derailed were carrying some form of sulfur. My prayers go out to the people living near the derailment. I am sure Pete Buttigieg will take some time to visit the site, not.

Populist leaders have won elections in Argentina and the Netherlands this week and the left controlled media is apoplectic. I can only pray that the leftists will accept the election results and become a peaceful opposition as the right has been for the most part recently. However, I do not hold high hopes for this considering all that was done in the country that was once the beacon of light for freedom loving people to prevent it’s President from being reelected.

Is it a coincidence that the week after Dictator Xi visited San Francisco and met with Joe Biden that a mysterious lung infection is spreading in China? Eerily similar to another time a few years back. Call me cynical but I must wonder if the ruling elites have decided to pull out the play book that was so successful late 2020 and 2021?

Riots on the streets of Dublin after a knife wielding man, apparently Algerian, stabbed two adults and three children. Riots in which the rioters destroyed some businesses, police cars, and a bus. Ostensibly, these rioters were rioting against foreigners who have been settled in Ireland but have been unwilling to acclimatize to Irish culture, not unlike most other places in Europe. What bothers me about this is the rioters are being branded as extreme right wingers and why would extremists on the right who are against foreigner’s attack businesses and symbols of law and order? I understand Ireland is essentially a socialist country, after all the IRA of old was essentially a Marxist organization. It almost seems, like the U.S. during the summer of love of 2020, the riots were preplanned and too well organized to not be well planned and organized.

Geez, for wanting to pull back and not let myself get wrapped up in current events I sure have paid attention to a few this past week.

God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere in between. Additionally, forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.

Thanksgiving Day 2023

I pause today to give thanks for the time that I had with those who have passed, for the time I have with those living, and for those who weathered great hardships to establish the united states of America. I would also like to give thanks to the native peoples who in the early years provided their wisdom of the land to the early settlers. Wisdom that without it we would not have a Thanksgiving Day.

Though I have posted this proclamation before I think it is appropriate to post this first proclamation of Thanksgiving again:

Proclamation

A National Thanksgiving

Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and

Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me “to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness;”

Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26^th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted; for the civil and religious liberty with which are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and , in general, for the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally, to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the 3d day of October, A.D. 1789.

I watched the movie “The Legend of Bagger Vance” the other night and one of the main characters, played by Matt Damon, Captain Junah, is a man haunted by his past service in World War I in which many men who served under him were killed in action. Bagger Vance, played by Will Smith, is an angel sent to help steer Junah straight and help him get through his PTSD or Shell Shock or whatever they called it after WWI. There is one scene that sticks with me and that is when Bagger tells Junah to see the course. Essentially, he is telling him to see it with his heart. See his path and what he, Junah, needs to see to play his shot. Not anyone else’s shot but his shot.

Speaking of Bagger Vance and the fact the movie takes place in the United States’ south, I happened to listen to “Simple Man” by Lynyrd Skynyrd and the lyrics are:

Mama told me when I was young

“Come sit beside me, my only son

And listen closely to what I say

And if you do this, it’ll help you some sunny day, ah yeah”

Oh, take your time, don’t live too fast

Troubles will come they will pass

You’ll find a woman, yeah, and you’ll find love

And don’t forget, son, there is someone up above

And be a simple kind of man

Oh, be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

Oh, won’t you do this for me, son, if you can?

Forget you lust for the rich man’s gold

All that you need is in your soul

And you do this, oh, baby, if you try

All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied

…But, be a simple, be a simple man

Oh, be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

There is, to me, something about this song that sums up what I have been rolling around in my mind as I observe the ramblings, rumblings and rants of the world.

The Conservative Constitutionalist needs to slow down, pull in, and remember what is really important and it certainly is not what is happening half a world away in the Middle East, Ukraine, and in China. The Conservative Constitutionalist needs to play his game and not anyone else’s game. Sure, events there can impact what is happening to me eventually and probably will and, in fact have, but for now I have found myself, along with many others, getting worked up about these events for no reason. Every time I click a link, I am supporting some large media giant sell advertisement or every time I turn on a news broadcast, I am supporting yet another media giant and helping them to sell advertising.

I believe what I am trying to say is that I have, unintentionally been supporting the rich elitists and their lifestyles at the expense of my lifestyle and letting myself be swayed to live in their world, at their pace, and to ignore what is right in front of me. It is Thanksgiving week now and I was reminded this past weekend that this is really a time of Thanksgiving unique to the American experience. It is a time to reflect on this country’s native American heritage and its melding with the early English settlers and how the early Native American’s taught and saved the early English settlers from starvation and how to live in this new world. What I was reminded of is that I am an American first and foremost. I am not a European, an Asian, a Middle Easterner, or anyone else but an American, end of story. Also, that I need to focus on what is right in front of me and not what is happening half a world away.

I had the opportunity to spend some time in Southern New Mexico last week and it was a bit depressing. The town that I was staying in is depressed and there is no way around it. Two restaurants that I had eaten in the past were shut down for good, no doubt, victims of the COVID lock downs. The only jobs to be had were servicing the travelers along the interstate, a Dollar General and government jobs. Certainly, none of these jobs are jobs in which wealth is being created for this community. Instead, one of them, the government jobs, are nothing more than redistributing wealth by taking from wealth producers in order to support the recipients.

Oh yes, it was disgusting to see how they were able to clean up and keep the riff raff away in San Francisco for the visit of Xi, the Chinese dictator, while businesses flee the corrupt, decadent, third world bung hole of California. Yes, I said bung because I dare not write what I really want to call it. California politicians and remaining business leaders really are a clear and present danger to the stability of the United States. I will not even mention the sock puppet in chief of the United States who capitulated to the dictator. In fact, it appears they are in Xi’s employee which could be considered an act of treason if one were to pursue that line of thinking.

Senator Tuberville continues his hold out against the blanket confirmation of the President’s rubber stamp of military promotions in the General and Flag Officer ranks. However, some of his so called fellow Republican Senators are considering Senator Shumer’s with a resolution to the Senate Rules Committee to essentially do an end around Senator Tuberville’s insistence that he cannot approve some of the promotions because the promotions would violate the Hyde Amendment because of the proposed military promotions are for people who support abortion. Of course, the Republicans who are willing to vote for this rules change include Senators Graham, Romney, Ernst and a couple of others, so far, that I am not familiar with. Big surprise there and what surprises me is that Senator McConnell is not on the list at least publicly but I am sure he is privately. In the amount of time, they have spent waiting for this to play out I have wonder how many of these promotions they could have individually approved or rejected? That would have just taken too much work I suppose and furthermore would have required the Senatorial staffs and Senators to take public stands on this issue, specifically, and they cannot have that with elections looming on the horizon.

It really is too bad that the funding of the Vice President was not cut as proposed by several in the House of Representatives. She really is a failure at doing her job and really should be fired. Maybe she will donate some of her salary to Secretary Buttigieg. Not likely!

Stop the presses! The Screen Actors Guild strike looks like it is over! Oh, my goodness! Time for more fresh fecal matter to be put out by Hollywood. I would imagine there is some serious constipation ready for release.

The Associated Press has cut ties with Hassan Eslaiah the free-lance photographer who was embedded with Hamas during the October 7 attack on Israel. Of course, not before photographs that he took to include a selfie with Yahya Sinwar the Hamas mastermind of the attack. I wonder how many clicks and increased revenue the AP and other news outlets received publishing Eslaiah’s photographs?

Has anyone noticed how quiet and controlled the press releases from the Israeli side of the Gazan invasion are? The Israeli’s are true masters at controlling narratives and the press. So much so that there is still no mention of why Hamas was able to penetrate Israeli defenses on October 7. I am still not convinces that Israeli Intelligence, at some lever, did not know in advance the attacks were going to occur especially when freelance photographers etc. were embedded with Hamas. The best kept secrets are secrets never told and once told they are no longer secrets. Why was there an apparent stand down at the Gazan border that allowed this attack to be so successful? It just makes me wonder.

Houthis have purportedly shot down a US Drone in or around Yemen. Geez President Biden did you do that? Did your policies of delisting the Houthis and allowing Iran, who has declared the United States and enemy, embolden if not fund the Houthis?

Pro Palestinians have defaced Britain’s Cenotaph war memorial the same week as Armistice Day. When will the west wake up to the fact that Islam is not a peace loving religion? When will Christians and others realize that Islam that demands total subservience not only religiously but politically? Islam is a religion or movement that not only subscribes how to live life but how to govern peoples. It is an insidious movement that will do whatever it takes to infiltrate and overthrow existing governing structures and install its own according to the Quran if it cannot outright invade. Just read about what happened to Constantinople in its later years and how its decay led to inviting Muslim to do menial work for the corrupt, lazy, and incompetent elites of its crumbling empire. So many parallels it makes me wonder if there is any hope for the western liberal Christian based ideal.

Finally, I will take a pause this weekend and attend an annual Veteran’s Day parade in honor of all those who have served. It usually is a solitary event for me since none in my family or immediate circle of friends usually wants to attend and quite frankly it is OK with me since none of them are veterans and they really do not understand. They do not understand that it is not just a parade for me and that I really am not alone. I am not alone in my memories of all those over the decades that I served with who have come and gone in my life. Some I liked some I did not. Some liked me and some did not like me but we all took oaths and “did our time”. I am not sure of the motivations that led others to serve our country and my motivations changed over time, quite honestly. The one thing that we all did, however, was to serve our country whether we agreed to it or not in the case of many who were drafted in Vietnam through World War II, though the numbers of those who were drafted are diminishing. The one thing we all had to learn was to be part of a team at minimum a basic level just to make it through boot camp or whatever path to a commissioning that we took. To all the Veterans out there I want to say, “thank you for your service”.

I have committed to posting something to this blog at least one time per week and lately I have been slacking a bit doing this. So, therefore, I am typing despite not really having paid much attention to anything in the news this week. Regardless, here I go.

The United States has a new Speaker of the House and it appears that he is on the side of the Neocons in his support for Israel and going to war in the Middle East. God help humanity because the puppet masters pulling strings seem to want this war so that they can maintain their power in the world and in the process kill a whole bunch of people. These people do not support life but rather are purveyors of death.

Speaking of the new Speaker, I read that he is going to allow a border and immigration bill of sorts to pass through the House. Of course, it is already being written that the Republicans in the Senate, the ringleader being Sen. McConnell, will not allow it to pass as written. This because he and others are beholden to those who are making money off the out of control border immigration issue. Is there any wonder why even the RINO Republicans are against the border wall and controlling the border. They and those who they represent are making too much money and maintaining their power with an open border. All I can do is yawn when I read these stories. The media will make a big deal out of it and nothing substantive will change except that the politicians will tout their positions this upcoming election cycle. OK before I fall asleep, I need to move onto another topic.

Out west in the United States the mainstream media is touting an El Nino year and because of its blah blah blah. Personally, I think the winter will be a little warmer than last winter because the effects of the Hua Tonga Volcano eruption will not be as pronounced in the earth’s upper atmosphere as we are now deeper into the second year after the eruption. I believe much of the light reflecting particulate has settled back into the lower atmosphere, however, there is still some residual to reflect light. This will still impact weather patterns but not as severely. It will be interesting to see how this effects the weather patterns and only time will tell, not a media report quoting the so called experts.

I read today that JP Morgan, Citibank and others are taking huge losses to the tune of 10’s of billions of dollars due to their exposures to US Treasuries. Personally, I can hardly even comprehend the quantities being bandied about and want to use scientific notation to write these figures out to aid in the ease and simplicity of writing them. Nine zeroes after the figures and the banks get to just write them off as if nothing happened as people behind closed doors in the city of Washington, New York, and San Francisco argue among themselves trying to figure out how to maintain confidence in the system.

I must ask myself why do I even worry about paying my credit cards and debt? They certainly do not because it is not the money, they are concerned about but rather it is how to maintain their lifestyles at the expense of the vast majority of the people in the country. I still wonder what would happen if the country as a whole decided not to support their lavish lifestyles in New York City, The Hamptons, San Francisco, Marin County, Washington D.C. etc.? Would there be chaos? Sure, there would be but would it be worse for the men and women who have never had to do hard work in their lives or those who already know how to wash dishes, swing a hammer, turn a wrench, farm and or hunt for the food they eat?

Speaking of the food that we eat I went to the grocery store the other day and yet another item that had not had its price raised much in the last year suddenly had nearly a 25% increase in its price. The pundits, government officials and so called experts can talk all they want but inflation is real, it is here and it is much higher than the official CPI. All this so the elites can maintain and illusion of stability so they can maintain their lifestyles on the backs of most Americans.

Sure, it makes it less expensive to pay the debt but at what cost? The inflation eats away at savings in dollars and one must devote more of his time laboring to maintain their same lifestyle. What irritates me to no end is the beneficiaries of this inflation have no clue or care one wit what it does to those who labor to maintain the elite’s lifestyles. This can only go on for so long before the system can no longer maintain itself because the dollar is no longer tied to the real economy, the economy of labor for bread, shelter, and transportation. Of course, I would imagine the socially inept geeks who made their fortunes on computers will try and make robots to do this work because we all know they do not like nor want to be with or compete with real human beings. Human beings are too unpredictable, dirty, and free thinking to their tastes unlike computers that are cold, logical and controllable.
