Are you proud of these boys...

The Proud Boys, a right-wing extremist group with a violent agenda, played a part in the January insurrection. Along with other patriots many are receiving prison terms for their roles in the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The latest and longest was ground commander Ethan Nordean who received a sentence of 18 years and Dominic Pezzola, who set off the initial breach of the building by smashing a window with a riot shield received 10 years.
After receiving his sentence, Pezzola reportedly raised his fist and shouted, “Trump won,” as he left the courtroom.

Dominic, not that it will help, but you've got some time to rethink that statement.

15 in the race.

I saw a list of all the ones running for POTUS! A radio talk show host. An entrepreneur, an author, an activist scholar. Sheesh..they crawl out of the wood work! Granted we already had an actor. But, he came up through the ranks. And another actor and a wrestler who were Governors. And as far as I see, good at it.
Why do people with little claim to fame think they are capable of dealing with the baloney of DC?
The masses never heard of them. They have no money and politics is a rich mans game.
Anyone remember Pat Paulson? Lynden Laruche. Pat Davis? Other also rans?
Meanwhile the same old guard gets back in. They have the backers and cash and know who to bribe and blackmail.tongue

IV.

“Most of the rulers, therefore, do not need intelligent people, for may overthrow them, in a way or another, or not follow their direction; especially the wise ones, are to be banished or abolished, even more than those who insurrect, for they are able to turn the crowds against their reign. More convenient to the rulers are the obedient ones with less capacity of thinking for themselves as possible; that is why, the crowds were always easy to control, whether that consisted into following directions, without questioning, or just being led into compliance, even using methods such as coercion, using constraining, compelling, propelling, extorting, up to more violent ones led to extreme – which leads to tyranny. But normally, the tyrants succeed in power and dominion for the mass compliance, all reaching being trapped in the same web in a way or another. Like-so, each little order-follower can become or act same like a little tyrant, too, obviously showing the capacity of the human to act against its own nature, or to act upon the will of the many, transgression of the same spirit of lawlessness regardless of state of mind or heart, rank, or placement in society. In a society ruled by lawlessness, the fair deal is partaking in crime, - which, of course, act like a binding of a whole; the sphere of influence is so large and widely spread, that even from those who vehemently oppose to the ruling state, breaking ranks and deliver further stupidity and madness. One can discern in what type of environment grew up and what were the steps of being connected to the world, either by social class, jobs undertaken, skills acquired, either by the level of awareness into discernment what is really going on into this world, what place has the general, main illusion of a futuristic world in which all and everything is connected; the same principle of oneness used in antiquity, in various circles of people, has been re-evaluated and reshaped into the new, modern society. In the name of progress and evolution, both the ruler and the subject, act as a whole – the deceit being this way shared in multiple directions. For the same progress which the modern man boasting with its inventions, the human experimentation was possible, so that being taken to the next level of madness, acquired by mass enslavement and murder. For the same evolution, the modern man became ruled by the things he possessed or acquired, regardless consequences of who lives or dies, in what way the natural balance is being disturbed and for how long the impact will be present. In a world where almost nobody takes responsibility for its own actions, there is no wonder how the lawlessness thrives. The rich becoming richer and the poor ones, becoming poorer. The division within society, by poor or rich, however, is the same. None of them attained its purpose of being here, and all degenerate in a type of chaotic environment in which each is either a prey, or a hunter…”

When trust is lost...and the illness associated with it

To lose one's trust is pretty tough ..in my opinion.

What I mean by that is....I don't trust somebody unless they give me a reason not to trust them.

So, my default mindset toward trust with most people is usually of neutral natural. I don't completely trust them, but I don't completely distrust them.

Normal life interactions usually are construed under these circumstances...meaning, we live day to day life and function quite well with this neutral level of trust. We don't need to assess somebody on a deep level to determine their trustworthiness in order to interact with them on a casual level.

Of course, if somebody sticks a gun in your face and robs you, yes...you should not trust them....and of course, you want to avoid them. Thankfully, I have never had this happen to me ever...and thankfully this does not happen very often.

And of course, before you invite somebody into your house, you should have done a little deeper level assessment of how trustworthy they are. Naturally, if this person is going to be living in your household for even a longer time, you should even be that much more certain of their credibility/trustworthiness.

So, we are starting to explore the nature of trust here.

Now, I was in a relationship where she lost my trust. This loss of trust is the sole reason why I called off our 13 year relationship. 13 years is a long time and a lot of people were effected...not only us as individuals...but her family, my family...and our friends...and many others....because of a loss of trust.

But the day I called off our relationship...I told her "I no longer trust you, and that is not fair for you or fair for me."

What did I mean by that? What I meant by that is that she could have taken 2 minutes longer to go get the mail and suspicion could have arose. Of course this is an extreme example, but none the less, a legitimate example.

This blog has nothing to do about me and my past relationship. That was just an example. This is about trust, the loss of it, and the illness associated with it.

Loss of trust = the illness of suspicion.

What about when a population loses trust in its Gov?

Nietzsche says, when a country loses the trust of its people, that country no longer exist.

The illness of suspicion will breed conspiracy...then maybe wrongful beliefs...then...how ill can things get..

In other words, is there anything a country can do to reclaim trust...or anything anyone can do to reclaim it?

The number of gun owners in America...

I can't find the blog I commented on last week referencing the number of guns sold in America versus the population and from raw facts it would appear each American had a gun. From experience of friends, workers and going to gun shows, I'd estimate one person had 10 guns while 9 didn't, making the tally (from a glance) look like everyone had a gun.

Okay, that thought passed. I was listening to a news report of Jeffrey Ferguson, a Superior court Judge in Orange County California had murdered his wife.

Get this: 47 weapons and more than 26,000 rounds of ammunition were recovered during a search of his home, including the pistol used in the shooting. Authorities said the weapons were legally owned. A rifle registered in his name is not accounted for.

72 year old Ferguson was arrested last week. He was released a day later on $1 million bail and set to be arraigned on September first.

That 'shoots a hole' in the statement that each American owns a gun.



A rifle registered in his name is not accounted for, according to the district attorney's office.




Where do you think he stashed the rifle?

Beat him to the punch so he's in dire straits

I see this as an 'age old' problem...

I see this as an 'age old' problem, in getting our (old) lawmakers pass new laws that limit the age (or term duration) to members of congress and senate.
That's not likely to happen.

81 year old senator Mitch McConnell had a 2nd 'freeze' in public. He took a fall recently and appears to have other issues. Maybe more blackouts when no one is around?
This morning I read he's been checked out by a doctor and found to be okay.
Okay to who? A complete medical test in 24 hours... I think not.

Dianne Feinstein is 90 and semi-coherent to the point she has to be coaxed to say 'aye' when it's time for a vote.


If they won't vote themselves out of a job... who will?

The ALGORHYTHM

III.

“One therefore is aware how the crowds are being manipulated into compliance to slavery and wars. Their training starts even before they are born, and that is through parenthood. Both male and female are being led to the same point of planning possibilities of prosperous future, which in case of a child – most of times – all the illusions are being imprinted and transmitted, in various ways. If the child is being nurtured into the world of lawlessness, lies and deceit occupy a main role even since cradle, continuing this reversible process in childhood times, forming gradually its future character, where the parameters are about to be modified when becomes a teenager, and from that point further, all that has been imprinted into its being takes lead by influencing in decisions, or better said, choices, - voluntary, or constrained; during youth, the control is being transferred to each individual, who will definitely have a leadership into modeling itself upon the rules of a society also formed from resemblance, interaction, spectrum of influence, characters being reshaped over and over again, - likewise, parameters changed, and thus, ancient goals of controlling the human being are done mostly in stealth mode, in secrecy and regardless consequences. So as in ancient times the rules seeking a path to attain immortality, which should work or better said, designed to work only to themselves – the rulers, - and those who serve them, - the new models of the futuristic world is being analyzed over and over again, till choices being made in favor of whom, how and when, under the same banners of progress and evolution, although both have the same root in common, which is dominion over the crowds. As long as the crowds are happy, all what goes along in the background of the scene, stays hidden; thus, when emerges to the surface, the crowds can not distinguish, and although among them, are individuals who could or can, are being removed, replaced, marginalized, until the point of lunacy and mockery, discrediting the truth in plain sight, which was always about to rule, to over-rule, to reign or conquer. Dominion. New forms or shapes of modeling society appears in gradual implementation, and as the time pass by, so less to notice, - if not led to the point of ignorance and denial. It is so easy, to stir the crowds in acceptance of wars and laws, but what is being harder is finding the right tyrant to rule upon them. It is, therefore, all, by choice…”

Could an Indian President be the answer?

Maybe this is what the US needs to stop internal strife.
