Holy shit, it's been some time, hasn't it? Ya know, I had to take a break from here due to financial issues, but now that I'm back, I have so much to catch up on! Like reviewing some of my previous blog posts!
It's not a great feeling being right about horrible things about to happen. It's really shitty, in fact.
Yet, that pales in comparison to the quotidian insanity we've been dealing with. It is rather difficult dealing with all of this in a healthy manner. Granted.... that's the point. The age old tactic of "Divide and Conquer". The people won't rise against if they are too busy at each others throats. Corruption ensues. Countless suffer, struggle, or worse.
For those of you not aware, the popular vote doesn't elect the President of the U.S. not unless there is a tie in the Electoral College, then a subsequent tie in Congress, THEN the popular vote is used to elect the President, presuming there isn't another tie. For those of you not in the U.S... most people in the U.S. only vote during a Presidential election. We have two elections every year. It's beyond infuriating.
I'm 37 years old. My entire life has been under this massive corporate manipulation of the government. I've watched it grow and fester. Things are looking bad.
Drumpf talks trash but he is trash. He acts like he won't leave, and that is only true if he has the backup to defend him. He is nothing without his little bitches.
They are trying their hardest to undermine the founding principles of the country. All for vanity, greed, and power.
It really isn't that far from a Benjamin Franklin quote,
"Those who would sacrifice a little liberty for security would lose both and deserve neither."
Whereas in this instance, they are sacrificing life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, as granted by the constitution.
I would say that they are also sacrificing justice, freedom, and equality, but.... we've never had those.
The history of this country is mired in hypocrisy, betrayal, and blood. It's not something to be that proud of.
We have world class economists and professors saying that the financial crash started back in February. They go on to say that we could expect a collapse after January 2021.
The reality of the situation is dire. It's fucked. It was made that way.
Not intentionally, so to speak. After all, the hoarding of wealth for a select few has always been the plan, yet the global consequences are often left ignored. Blinded by the emotional compromise of greed and vanity. All for imposed imaginary value on an inanimate object that we hold in higher regard than life and principle.
Fucking money.
Drumpf was given a fortune, was handed everything in life, never had to work a single day, bankrupt numerous failed business attempts, is a pedophile, a habitual liar, virtually everything that the loud and proud are against.... yet they still support him.
They are joined by hate, not by reason.
There in lies the real problem. Racism. What this country was founded on. Alongside sexism, classism, and nationalism. Foolish ideals that hinder our species and pit us against each other.
Now time for a little bit of history...
As it may be told in the history books that the slave trade was established in 1619 in what would become the U.S.A., slave trades were going on before it was made official and established. The important note is that it was founded by the Puritans. Now for some this may mean nothing, so allow me to explain. The Puritans were devout followers of the Bible. They read that shit daily and took it literally. So, when that shit gets into Exodus 20: 20-21 where it tells you about beating your slave and whether you are punished or not, they take it as slavery is totally acceptable and of course skin color matters. These are the same fucks who lied to and took advantage of the indigenous at every turn.
Now, the Puritans were the first to establish themselves in the 'New World'. They had been there for over 100 years by the time the Quakers showed up. The Quakers were far more productive and considerate than the Puritans. So, we come back to the earliest recorded slave trade in U.S. history.
It was done in 1607 by the Puritans in opposition to the Quakers because the Quakers were doing things so much more efficiently than the Puritans, that the Puritans decided they had to rely on slave labor to keep their way of life.
Are you surprised?!?!?
The same fucking shit that has built this country and has never been dealt with, is still ravaging the country today.
America's enemies have exploited that weakness, that foolishness, and we are suffering greatly because of it.
Again, I am currently 37 years old, and I've been calling it since I was 14....
Neo-Rome is falling.
