Illusions

Movies can capture the imagination as is said. They can take you on great journeys of inner reflection. They can celebrate monumental moments. They can titllate and even be prurient. They can amuse and give respite from the world. They can espouse political and religious thought. The flip side is also true.

They can mold minds often by taking away critical thinking. They can create smoke and mirrors and obfuscate instead of enlighten. Lies become truth. Black becomes white. Which is which?

The ability to think for yourself, light, good, God (Or just reason for you who don't do the god thing.). But, along the way, darkness and doubt can dog us. To a sociopath good is another thing entirely. It's whatever he/she makes it. Surely certain current and former Presidents can be counted in that category.

Freedom can mean doing what one wants but only NOT at the expense of others. Consideration as in your Freedom stops at my face etc.

Make no mistake. There is right and wrong. In spite of all the facade builders in ol Hollyweird, it remains.

One of the current illusions is personified in the funeral of a certain self proclaimed king. His popularity started to plunge in the late 80's. There were only a mere 50 odd thousand at his memorial. Yet the mainstream press claims a million people. His fame is narrowed, like certain camera angles meant to suggest a place/time when there can be only a hint. A short actor can appear average or even tall with such artistry.

Everywhere his virtues are extolled. But, there is a dark cloud of crime against children and cheating business partners, and compulsive spending (I have a brother in law perpetually in debt for same. As for crimes against kids, my wife was raped at 6 and her nephews were 'alledgedly' molested by the paternal grandfather.). There is the image of a great artist when his later efforts were scant compared to earlier efforts. As to quality, I'll leave that to each to decide individually.

He is the liberals' darling. Something of dwindling substance that they build up with exaggerations and lies. A prime example of what the liberal mind stands for, all show and no substance.

Let the dance lights twirl and the repetitive music pulsate while someone struts and makes choking noises. Don't think, just faint.

Beyond entertainment, which is necessary for us all to stay sane (especially for me lately), this extends to mind control. At least to the extent that it shuts down reason and only allows raw reaction. It seems to bring some away with all heart and no thought.

Flashy false light.

I suggest we smash the spotlight and take a look inside each one if us, lest like the lie they purport about this 'king' we begin to believe it not even about him, but a greater lie about Freedom and thought.

While the celebs are buried the bad guys play. Badly done motto. But right on.

Smoke and mirrors hide the worldly machinations.

Take a look inside. Take a look beyond.

Spread the light of truth regarding Restoration of our Republic.
