Random Musings on Current Events 6.3.22

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. Additionally, I know, and it has been proven that Twitter and Facebook would censor what I have to say so I will say what I feel the need to say in this medium. However, with Elon Musk purchasing Twitter perhaps I will have to take Twitter out of my introduction but not just yet. Time will tell I suppose and for that reason I will not remove Twitter just yet from my Random Musings On Current Events introductory paragraph.

I always wonder what the topic of the week in the press will be. So many careers are being made on the never ending news cycle; a cycle that requires periodic injections of crisis to keep it rolling. In my line of work crisis is the last thing that I want or need. So much so that I work to design the possibility of crisis out of my work and so it is somewhat of anathema to my training and thought processes.

I learned this morning that there is already a vaccine being pushed first responders for Monkey Pox. What a coincidence that the vaccine just happened to be ready for distribution within days of the Monkey Pox being declared a problem.

Two days after updating this blog last, I logged onto my computer and had to boot it up three times. Twice to get my screens to work properly and yet another boot after I deleted and reloaded my virus protection software that would not work. I must wonder if there is any coincidence that just as soon as I begin to update this blog that my computer begins to get glitchy. I suppose others would say, “there can be no coincidence as the left leaning controlled big tech monopolies or government agencies would never hack into conservative leaning blog sites and their administrators’ computers.” Additionally, if I were to mention the possibility of any aforementioned possibilities, I would be branded a kooky conspiratorialist who is out of touch with reality. For that reason, I will qualify that I have no proof that this happened, and all evidence is circumstantial.

I find it fascinating and not surprising that with Mr. Musk’s purchase of Twitter, the panic of the established operatives working within and outside of Twitter, the twitter (all pun intended) and buzzing about algorithms, and how the number of followers for certain tweeters have changed that the operatives have been artificially inflating and deflating follower numbers using algorithms. Additionally, it is seeming that the algorithms have been tweaked to favor those whose political ideologies more closely matches those with the same left leaning ideologies of the Twitter operatives. This seems to coincide with the revelation that many of the members of Twitters board of directors were installed and had no investment in Twitter of their own money. I, for one, would like to know which investor(s) in Twitter installed these people on the board? Is it Blackrock or some other murky investing group who may or may not have ties to the CIA, FBI, or some other agency in government? Whoever it may be, they are the power behind these enemies of free speech and discourse in violation of Amendment I of the US Constitution. I say this because with the Section 230 protections granted Twitter and others under law they are, like the government, not a private company but fall into the public sphere and must be held accountable as a government/public entity. They do not, in my opinion, get to censor as if they were a private company.

Gun control, gun control, gun control! Yet again gun control is the topic du jour. Americans!!! Do you think the lock downs were bad in the United States due to the fraudulent fabricated fratricidal COVID mumbo jumbo hocus pocus? Just look at what the governments of Australia, New Zealand, and England were able to get away with in the name of the globalist WHO scheme. It would have been far worse for the US and, in fact, the world if Americans did not have their Second Amendment Rights. In fact, the global cabal, would have succeeded far more than they have been able to because, trust me, they know there is a wall of freedom loving individuals in the United States who will not cow tow to authoritarian dictators.

That being said, in the preceding paragraph, we as Americans should be getting prepared and getting prepared in a hurry for the next wave of authoritarian governmental maneuvers and manipulations as the people who engineered COVID are drunk with power and will continue to demand, defame, denounce, denigrate, delude and create any crisis in order to maintain and usurp more power. They do not care about me and the most certainly do not care about the majority of Americans and freedom loving people in the world. 

The Washington Post on May 30, 2022, ran a headline of a piece written by Mike Madden and Rachel Siegel saying, “US Policymakers Misjudged Inflation Threat Until it was too Late.” Huh? What did you think was going to happen when trillions of dollars were dumped into an economy that was having its production of real goods cut due to draconian government interference because of a “pandemic”? Though I am not an economist, the simple premise that more dollars chasing less goods causes inflation is not a hard one to grasp. Inflation will happen in these conditions just as sure as the sun will come up in the morning. Is there any wonder why I do not trust the media, the Federal Reserve and Washington DC insiders? I mean, duh!

Johnny Depp won his defamation case against Amber Heard? Quite frankly I really did not give one rip about this case simply because of all the media attention it was getting at the expense of real reporting on real issues. Also, it seems that whenever a media frenzy develops around something related to celebrity it is a distraction away from what is really important. Say, for instance, the failure of the sanctions against Russia as the value of the Ruble increases, there is now trade of Saudi oil in a currency other than the US Dollar, and an escalation mentality of US and European leaders against Russia instead of a de-escalation mentality against a well-developed and mature nuclear power. Despite this, I am happy that Johnny Depp stood up to Amber Heard and won. She appears to have been abusive, manipulative, and an outright liar. She used the MeToo movement to cover her evil and has been exposed. What a shock! There are evil women too? Wow, we just cannot take a woman’s word at face value any more than we can a man’s word? The sarcasm just seems to be flowing out of my fingers thinking about this topic.

Death Cult

In the not too distant past, we learned and heard that ISIS or Daesh was a death cult. A label placed on this organization by our press and media. I have taken the time to look up and see if there is a formal definition of the term “death cult” and the most objective definition I was able to find is, “a fringe religious group that glorifies or is obsessed with death” courtesy of lexico.com. I think we can see why this descriptor was applied to Daesh as they spread their death and destruction across Syria and Iraq. They left nothing but death and destruction in their wake. I will submit that the German Nazi Party in the first half of the twentieth century, the Soviet Communist Party, the Maoist Chinese Communist Party and Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge could also be defined as a death cults. Though they would never consider themselves religious groups they based their power by preying on the fear of death in human beings. They not only threatened death but implemented and carried through with their threats. In the process they were responsible for the destruction of much of Europe and Asia which included tens of millions of deaths.

Yesterday morning as I woke up to the news of rioting and looting in Philadelphia ostensibly because of another police shooting of a black man the concept of death cult rummaged in my mind. These rioters and looters paid no mind to the fact that the black man shot was wielding a knife and coming at police officers. This and video footage showing the police officers actually backed away from the assailant in an effort to defuse the situation. Now we have yet another city run by Democrats in the throes of rioting and looting that will drain the life out of that city. I say this will drain the life out of the city because I can imagine very few of the businesses will want to reopen once the smoke clears, the glass is cleaned up, and the insurance claims are filed. Let us not forget that business is the life blood of communities, states, our country, and our way of life. I say business is the life blood because it is business that generates the wealth that funds and feeds our communities and even our governments. Business is the ultimate expression in freedom and innovation. Freedom because we have choices with who to do our business seeking out the best value for our money and innovation because the successful businesses will innovate to provide this value for the least amount of cost to the business owner. This so that they can number one pay for their expenses and number two profit from the sale of their product or products. These profits, in turn, are used to seek other services or goods supporting yet even more business. Like a healthy freshwater lake when water is flowing in and water is flowing out the water of the lake retains its vitality and is capable of supporting life.

Since I have started on the metaphor of lakes, I must point out that death occurs even in healthy lakes. Unfortunately, death is still a part of life especially in the material world that we live in. Eventually all biological beings expire and on top of that all biological processes generate waste. Even in the healthiest of mountain lakes biological processes continue and death occurs. What I will submit for the sake of my current argument, however, is the introduction of fresh water to the lake and subsequently the free flow of water from the lake allows waste products to easily flow out and at the same be replenished by and diluted by the fresh water flowing into the lake. All the while life continues and flourishes. However, in the unhealthy lake water typically does not flow out as freely or fresh water into the lake is completely shut off. When the water is not allowed to flow out the lake will eventually become brackish, swamp like, and otherwise much unhealthier for normal oxygen breathing creatures to survive. Likewise, when fresh water does not flow into the lake the lake will dry up and eventually die.

Likewise, from the bodies of ideas and politics, I believe, can be drawn comparisons to the examples of fresh water, brackish or dried up bodies of water. I will submit that the societies with the freshest of ideas continually replenishing the existing bodies of ideas lead to the healthiest societies and in parallel the freshest of political institutions are characterized by the free flowing of ideas in and out of the body politic of these societies. It is when the flow of ideas into the body politic is shut off or restricted that the body becomes brackish, polluted, suffocating, oppressive and unable to support healthy life. Or, in the extreme case, when the ideas are allowed to leave without any fresh ideas to replenishing the body politic the body politic has entered a death spiral that will inevitably lead to the body drying up completely leaving nothing behind but dried up brittle crusty sand.

Currently in our country we have huge out of control media conglomerates and internet behemoths who seem intent to shut out ideas counter to the opinions of the intellectuals and or ownership of these organizations. All the while, at least in the case of the internet behemoths, they enjoy the protections of law.  In the case of media, they seem intent to quash any news counter to the narrative the intellectuals who fuel their opinion. This while they claim to be objective purveyors of news. They have, in fact, almost seem to have doubled down on their claims and efforts to suppress and stymie the conservative message at every opportunity despite being called out and proven to be carrying out their seemingly nefarious actions. I will submit to my readers that because of this suppression we as a nation are precariously close to witnessing the death of the bastion of fresh thoughts, ideas, speech, and all other freedoms. We are precariously close to watching “the swamp” expand its poisonous life draining ideas and norms to the rest of the country.

Speaking of poison, I come back to the topic of the death cult. Let me remind you that the most objective definition that I found for the term death cult is, “a fringe religious group that glorifies or is obsessed with death”. I would submit that it appears with the suppression of opposing ideas in most of the media, the internet behemoths, the constant rioting and looting in democratically controlled riotous cities, and the obsession with Covid and their subsequent desire to shut down all business that the left is under the control of a death cult. No, they will never admit they are religions but as I have written about in the past, socialism is a religion. I say they are a religion because they expect blind servitude based on faith in the party or progressive ideals and have no proof to back up their claims of social utopia. So we have a very powerful group of people in this country who seem intent to usher in the death of the US Constitution and will use death and our fear of death in the guise of Covid 19 to bring death to our economy. Additionally, they use the death of black men to stage and support riotous looting behavior which in turn brings about the death of businesses which are the hallmark of lively prosperous communities. I see nothing positive or prosperous coming out of this except more death and destruction and this alarms me. This alarms me because I enjoy and give thanks for every day of life, the food that supports life, the means by which I have to support life, and for those in my life who I love. I also miss the freedoms to move freely in society without fear of retribution for not wearing a mask, attending live worship, sporting and music events, and all other manner of life sustaining group activities in which the free exchange of ideas, discourse, and social interaction occur. All the groundwork for the death cult to flourish even more seems be laid and the outcome cannot be good for any of us.
