“Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within the boundaries drawn around us by the equal rights of others.” – – Thomas Jefferson
We have not had rightful liberty really since the founders died so almost 200 years. We have relative liberty, compared to other nations all over the globe.
This right here is where the focus needs to be. When the companies that advertise on that platform realize that all the viewership they are getting is actually just bought being used to manipulate public opinion, isn’t that fraud? Should not be investigated? Surely they should get some of their money back? It’s absolutely where I would hit these fuckers
And I believe the phrase death blossom was actually pulled from an old movie called the last starfighter – – if you have not seen it, it’s the weapon the spaceship has it requires all the ships energy to deploy but it also requires all the enemy ships to be within a certain short range—-duck duck go the clip
Thank you by the way for the impromptu therapy session. Bottom line, my rage seethes at those that are too intellectually lazy to get with the fucking program. I mean, I’m a fairly bright guy but a lot of this is just taking time to read and think and discern, so it is not outside the realm of a normal person. Drives me nuts. Particularly with this Covid crap – – I mean, I personally have been impacted the least because of all of this because of my circumstances and yet I am seem to be the most enraged and I’m flabbergasted as to why people that are getting clobbered mentally, physically, emotionally, financially way worse than me are just sitting there and taking it.
I like that. I can see the abyss but it doesn’t make me abysmal, that’s some wisdom right there. Trying to be a happy warrior, actually ran for office this cycle in what ended up being the worst cycle ever to run in. Saw the corruption of the GOP upfront and personal, did it for the right reasons but realized the system is that far gone. Unfortunately the only peace I have anymore as if I’m sleeping or if I’m drinking. I imagine that is a lot of us
You seem to have a good grasp on everything, however sitting idly by while my country is stolen and destroyed does not seem like the optimal plan. What else can we be doing as the “show” plays out? As a hedge, per se? Thoughts?
This is a great post. I was unaware of the grand solar minimum and it’s effects, but you pose an interesting theory. That said in the struggle between liberty and statism/communism, I guess one of the fatal flaws of the west and our rampant individualism is that we are susceptible to bribes and blackmail because our diminished sense of virtue and collective effort. Me ne me! And the commies exploit our decadent self-serving nature. Conversely, The human spirit, no matter what nationality, urines to breathe three, if there is even a modicum of knowledge of what liberty is compared to tyranny. I think that’s what they are trying to eradicate, any memory of what it is like to be free such that the future slaves will never question their existence. Fortunately for us there are still books and history and knowledge that has not been corrupted such that anyone yearning for the truth can find it with a little work. And once the flame of liberty is ignited inside you, it cannot be extinguished.
Having spent a few years strolling around the sandbox myself, I can attest to that. At this point one must make the personal determination to weigh the high cost of living in a society with the illusion of freedom, versus finding the thugs that rob you the least. I could live nicely in muscat or Aqaba. Does that make sense?
