“Slaves & Drugs: It’s not just those who buy them; it’s those who supply them.” Many of today’s policy decisions are presented with isolated “facts” to obfuscate the actual historical situation. Full Disclosure – Full Exposure of all government policies and statistics is the only “level field” that will ensure our freedom.
Lossy Government strips out whatever it regards as either unnecessary or redundant – it is capable of reaching decisions without help.
People have become the objects of government; not the participants.
“2022: ‘Equality’ isn’t bona fide – it’s stratified.” One proof that we are living in an adolescent society is the prevalence of excuses.
They are “reasons” without the backing of facts; or the clarity of debate.
They are adjudications that suppress one side of the argument.
And more simply: they are actions and ideas that directly contradict the lives and beliefs of every respected figure of human worth and equality.
If you don’t believe me; believe them — and not the evil that is done in their name.
2022: “Can’t find workers” — When the early eighties want ads read: “Machinist wanted – 5 years experience” – my skills as an artist only qualified me for temporary, entry level employment; and it was up to me to make something of the opportunity. These days; politicians discourage the “work ethic” – so they can make something of the opportunity.
“Don’t fix the problem – embrace the opportunity” is a fitting motto for today’s autocratic government: every problem is used as an excuse to take money, power, everything – and spin-doctor it all clean afterward.
Debate is a thing of the past — we are living in a time of edicts, pronouncements, and authorities — of silent conforming to an unquestionable threat. We’re like rabbits: frozen to immobility in the sights of a rifle. What are the odds of surviving?
We’re all disposable — and the more conforming we are; the more easily disposed of. Doctrine does not recognize people as of primary importance: There is no longer an inflexible standard of human worth to protect us from oppression.
Of course we’re disposable: There is not one new policy or regulation that does not add to the power and control of those who crave power and control.
We are a society of adolescents: we want; but we don’t know what — we demand respect; but we don’t care to earn it — we give up power; to avoid responsibility — and we embrace an inflexible group doctrine; to avoid thinking or acting alone.
We are running in an abattoir of our own making — we are the guards of our own prison.
We’ve told them something is wrong — now someone had better fix it. Someone had better.
“You think you get no respect . . .”
How bad are things? The comparisons are always with the worst happenings; never the best. The People have been whipsawed between Power and Policy until they are ground into a “gray goo” of nutrients. “No it’s not” has become the universal response to our suffering. And like a pantomime comedy: every time our leaders come and bend down to pick us up; they kick us out of reach with their clumsy locomotion.
“How bad are things?” There may be no one left to be told how much better off they are.
“Reimagining Integrity – Don’t give up your principles: reimagine them!”
There’s a workaround for everything. Just as there is a greater good than good – there is an integrity that is more than a mere adherence to basic principles: a greater integrity.
The History Channel is premiering a new series on Abraham Lincoln:
Would anybody like to bet that Lincoln won’t be “reimagined” into supporting things that he never would have agreed to if he were still alive?
How about you, Nietzsche?
“An equation has two sides . . . Our Social Policies have one” – the dangers of mathematics and the dangers of government – both systems only need to be self-consistent to maximize their utility – and what’s more self-consistent than a dictatorship?
Mathematically speaking; the only “equals” left is: “conforming = survival.”
“♥ – ♥ = Tompkins County” Bumper sticker
They’re cunning as weasels
And slicker’n snot
But compassionate humans
Is one thing they’re not.
Tompkins County – the grayness is built in – there is no right or wrong; just a flat gray — and the flat refusal to see any other solution; but the one that is most profitable to the policy makers.
It’s emblematic that the gray fog of their excuses and justifications – hides the cold and unyielding gray of their immovable Doctrine.
A heartless gray – a gray of the change; the new chapter – and the closer one gets to the source; the greater the influence of its corruption.
