HS Sweetheart

 Endings and beginnings.  Ups and downs.  Pain and relief.


Romance uplifts and casts down.


Some people have high school sweethearts.  Some don't.  Some marry them.  Some don't.  


Life is not a romance novel.  We have to face each day and keep our eyes open.  Rough and smooth, we seek the best, the good together.  If people partner, they compliment each other, warts and all.


To be alone is not necessarily lonely.  People must find what works for them.


To reach out and share some of life should be freeing.  I'm speaking only of what should and can be.  


Beware of what ifs.  It's ok to wonder and even discuss alternatives.  Yet, deal with reality.  If you had that love ok.  If you did not, well that's ok too.  Don't lament what isn't there.


If you assess life events, please factor all you like.  But deal with what you have.  That doesn't mean lamentation.  Whoa is me won't cut it.  Where are we at and where do we go are healthy questions.  


Romance is part of certain relationships.  It's like a breath of fresh air, a sustenance for the soul.  It may get you aloft, but it takes work to keep going.


Romance/ideal of Freedom gets your attention.  Then the daily work begins and never ends.


We are on a precipice.  What comes next is coming soon.


Be ready.

Wishes.

 Time of year for wishes.  


There is a sense of finishing and starting.  Even this year and maybe moreso.


Good wishes.  Bad wishes.  Evil wishes.  High and low/all levels.


Is it just a desire?


There was a woman who was lazy all her life.  She literally feigned illness so someone else would do what she was supposed to do.


When she was a kid, she shared a room with her older sister.  One side was hers, always messy.  The other was her sis's, always neat.


Messy would go til her sis would give up and clean the whole room.


Some live or rather exist letting others do for them.


Me?  I clean up after myself.


The Founders had a wish.  Their goal was Freedom.


Its high cost entailed many fighting on all levels for that attainment.  


Some waited and when victory was sure, they took credit for it.


They were known by their works or lack thereof.  


We stand at the precipice.  The time has come to accomplish our goal.  


Noone can restore the Republic except us.  


We need to clean up our own mess.


Best wishes.

Solitude

 Alone at last?  No.


There were times I hitchhiked all over the country.  In all kinds of weather, day and night, I trod a lot of leather and canvas.  I travelled, saw things and met many kinds of people, both good and evil.  I did it alone.  And not.


Evil tries to isolate us, make us believe we are few or alone.  We are finding out the opposite.  


Vehicles whizzing by.  Noone stopping.  Feet sore.  Thirsty.  Laughing and waving beer cans at me in the desert.  Butt deep in snow and not one person gave me a ride.


Until someone did.  


Much of the time, they were decent people.  Sometimes evil.  Those never harmed me.  They knew better.. Because I was never really alone.


Alone moments for rest/meditation.  Not completely by myself yet self determining.  


Many hate the President.  Many hate us.   Many hate Freedom.  


More love the President.  More love us.  More love Freedom.


 A LOT of people are waking up and realizing WE can be Free. It always has to get to a point where we are dancing on the edge. And how and where I'd not say. But we are not alone.

Cost.

 What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?


Many don't care.  They are short sided apostates or are brought up left hand path.


We've always seen greed.  Throughout the ages, it accompanies us like a disease.  Now it is blatant.


Malachi Martin spoke often how people sell their souls so they can have wealth and/or sex.  They are lazy.  Yes, any kind of success takes work and planning.  And many set their sights low.  


Whether it's explicit or not, deals are struck and people suborned regardless of the cost to security, freedom, life.  


Sheep, goats and all sorts of animals are being separated as it were.  The People are being shown the perfidy, in numbers which cannot be ignored.  Despite coverups, truth reverberates.


History unfolds.


The world has allure and for the weak a kind of strength in which they place their lives.  


Doing right and fighting for Freedom is often rough and many lose all, except for their souls.


The cost is priceless.

The Patriot Reredux.

 War is hell.


It is fought on all levels here and in spirit.


''I have long feared that my sins would return to visit me, and the cost is more than I can bear.''  Colonel Benjamin Martin-The Patriot


Horrible things are done in war and Martin did some of them.  When the War of Independence was brewing, he resisted joining in.  But, like any destiny, it was thrust upon him.  It visited and destroyed.  His choice was simple, give in or resist.


One son murdered, he rescued another.  He had to wipe out a detail of enemy troops with the help of 2 other sons.  


Skills once acquired were reawakened.  And his frenzy freaked his kids.


Martin hated what he did but he had no choice.  He was efficient and savage, but he did not enjoy it.  Beware those who like to kill.  


His hatred was channeled into doing his duty.  It never consumed him.  At the creek, his actions reflected the conflict within.


When he killed Tavington, who had murdered his oldest sons, he said that indeed they were the better men.


There is great cost fighting for Freedom


Witness the signers of the Declaration of Independence.  Many lost their lives and families, fortunes, but never their sacred honor.  


The fight for Freedom goes on.  It is thrust now upon us.  


On all levels, we stand and do what we must.

Paint.

 I've mentioned before that I house painted my way through college.  I had several jobs actually, but the painting was a practical trade.


I learned from a master craftsman and acquired some skill.  And we painted everything from barns, to factories to houses.  We primarily met good people.  The interaction was interesting.


Most folks were just that.  They wanted a decent job for a fair wage, as did we.  And most left us to our work, trusting our skills.  My friend's reputation preceded him, as is the way of business, so he had no problem finding work.  It often found him.


Some people were nit pickers and seemed to be control freaks.  They seemed insecure to want to control someone else's talent.  We usually didn't return, even though our work was exemplary.


As said, how we interacted was interesting.


One of the most fascinating aspects was presumption.  Tradesmen can be ignored or put down.  And that often entails a talking down to.  The subtlest hints are the most palpable.


Most people respected my friend.  He was earthy and had a keen perception/intelligence.  There were only a few who thought he was beneath them.  Not hatred, but a condescending disdain.  He just shrugged them off.


He startled some into friendliness.  There are those who need to come out of their shells.  My friend had a way of lighting people.  A tight situation was loosened.  


He was honest and one got what one paid for.


I surprised a guy.  His Mom was having a house readied as a wedding gift.  My job was to paint the exterior.


One day, I was on a ladder, painting an eave over the driveway.


The guy pulled up and we chatted.


I like music when I work, be it painting, studying or writing.  I happened to have some show tunes which segued to classical.  I'm eclectic -s-.


This got the guy's attention.  Our conversation startled him as he discovered my knowledge of music and history.  I was surprised a seeming spoiled rich kid could have an in depth conversation.  He was further surprised a house painter was a college student and pursuing acting.  Books and covers come to mind.


Only the shallow don't or can't allow for anything out of the box.  They believe in 'knowing one's place'.  


It's that lack of self which is evident currently.  


Paint.  It can hide or enhance.


Time to choose.

Visit To An Asylum

 I hope noone is surprised at current events.


The behavior of collectivists is mappable.  They are everything bad, contrary to Freedom and Light.  Leftism/Left hand path same.  They will stop at NOTHING  to accomplish control.  Look at their track record of death and destruction.


This defies logic/common sense.  Collectivism, which has existed wherever humans dwell, pivots on control.


They keep hammering their dark experiment, fully expecting different results.  That's insanity.  The cop out is that they haven't gotten it quite right.  It is the excuse for tyranny.  They clamp down to refine the insanity.


Controlling due to lack of self is a hallmark.  They take, all the time claiming they share.  Insanity.


Collectivists target the young/naive.  The idealistic lies dance in the imagination of the young, who seek to right wrongs, share and get along.  A mind too open gets filled with something.  


Witness the blue vs red.  You know, when that originated, libs were red and conservatives blue.  It was a big Freudian whoops lol.  It's more than color.


Where blue prevails, we see the failures of collectivism.  And the aforementioned droning repeat performances that have brought evil/misery/death to millions and more.  


Controlling due to lack of self demands denial and lies.  That is their foundation.  They are lazy and rely on the lowest common denominator.  


Many are sick, but there is a cure.  Truth.


Quite a few will cling to their insanity to the bitter end.  But a lot of people were cured recently.  They are the reachables, they opted for the truth they finally saw.  


Don't buy into depression.  Evil isolates, dispirits, bullies people.  Just don't let them.


Insane minions aka trolls infest communication.  Don't feed them.  


Truth stands alone.  Yet we must defend Freedom with it or the asylum dwellers will run things.  


Courage.  Eye to eye and face to face.  And Light.  We are never alone.


Watch closely as the insane try to reclaim America.  They are being dealt with.  


The masks are falling.  It's impossible for enemies of Liberty to hide.  They are so obvious as are we who are Restoring the Republic.  


We see how they destroy.


We must rebuild.

Fudge

 I have no talent for making fudge.  It is a talent.


The right combination of ingredients, heat, intensity and timing all play a part.


My Mom and brother and mother inlaw made great fudge.  I make sludge.


Anyway, that's not what I'm driving at.  Sorry to fudge -s-.


NB: Beware and be ready.  Collectivists and their masters who wish to be ours will stop at nothing to destroy the Republic.  Come what may, be ready for any eventuality.  Study the enemy.  Build on truth and Light.  Watch and act wisely.


Boy howdy, is that true!


So many attempts to destroy our commander in chief, so many failures.  This is the hail mary.


A number of factors mix together both electronic and manual, to make a pot of confusion.


Our enemies are hoping to bamboozle, to distance events, banking on what they perceive as short memory.  The collectivists always underestimate the greatness of Americans.  Like all criminals, they think we are basically like them.  They rely on a lowest common denominator.  


They repeatedly demand proof even when abundant.  Even presented, they demand more.  Very Alinskyan.


The solution is to be unrelenting, pattern the truth where it matters most.  Stay calm and do not rise to their bait.


I remember kids who fudged tests in school.  It ranged from sneaking looks at others, including some accomplices sharing answers, to having answers written and hidden.  Or swiping whole tests.  Plagiarism sometimes happened for term papers.


These people go on to have shallow lives.  They end up sometimes with lots of material but no substance.


What faces us now is clear.  The collectivists seek to muddy.  They end up with sludge.  


We battle with truth, no apologies, and hammer.  


When caught, fudgers lie and squirm.  We must put them in a vise.  


The delight of truth and Light exposes them.  Let them dwell in darkness.


We will prevail in Light.

The Other Place.

 I may have written about this before.  Well, we have quite a time ahead so here we go.


The other place is an old time ref to h e-double hockey sticks, the absence of God.  BTW, is the actual word forbidden?  If so, hmm, is it like holding a mirror up to something to repel it?  


Perhaps the other place could be a metaphor describing what would take the place of the current administration.  It brings to mind a Twilight Zone ep called A Nice Place To Visit.


A petty criminal is killed in a gun battle with police.  He wakes to find a jovial figure called Pip telling him he is to guide him and give him whatever he wants.  Initially suspicious, Valentine goes with him.


And the thug gets a nice place, food, clothes, booze and broads as he says.  But it gets boring and he can't do anything on his own.  He can't visit with old pals because Pip tells him that this place is Valentine's alone.  


He gets so tired of it all he says he'd rather go to the other place.


Pip informs him it IS the other place and Valentine is locked in his apartment.


Oh yes.  Pip is dressed in white and all seems that way.


Pip is also an irritation vague to begin with.


My German prof had been a translator at Nuremberg, said of East/West Germany that some people liked others to do their thinking for them, to be given everything.


There are also those who welcome perdition.  One told me he welcomed the lake of fire as a cleansing free from God.  !!!  


So, as always we have a choice.  


Do we continue self determination/Liberty with all its risks?


Or do we become lackeys who receive handouts and bow to controllers?


This place or the other?


May it be THIS PLACE.


NB: Beware and be ready.  Collectivists and their masters who wish to be ours will stop at nothing to destroy the Republic.  Come what may, be ready for any eventuality.  Study the enemy.  Build on truth and Light.  Watch and act wisely.

Restoration.

 I've mentioned that one of my jobs working my way through college was housepainting with a skilled master craftsman.  We often crisscrossed with other crafts.


My friend and I painted new and repainted old.  And there was plenty of opportunity to observe the work involved putting a job together.  


The new buildings took precision even with new materials.  Frames, joints, everything fitted including drywall and plaster.  Pieces of the whole.


Old houses might have detail finish work for trim or bannisters etc.


There might be dryrot or other damage needing replacement.  This is even more detail and required a symphony of skills.


This tumultuous time demands attention toward restoration of the Constitutional Republic.  It is our house of Liberty.


Too many expected a power swirl and punp to clean things out.  No.


Old dark power must be confronted bit by bit and replaced with original intent.  That can't be erased long as we keep it in mind.  Planting seeds or Adams' brushfires of Freedom.  Not a consuming fire.  A refining fire.


This election do what you can.


A piece here and there all come together in a firm foundation and secure build.


Pass it on.

Passage

 Things are certainly in motion.  


I feel like we're crossing a rickety bridge or flying through turbulence.  Such is the challenge we make.  There is no choice.  Power never tamely surrenders.


It's remarkably simple.  We continue to seek a new birth of Freedom, or we sink.  


The legislative is only part as are the the executive and judicial.  It's up to each of us.  It's a mindset of Liberty which acts as our vehicle.  These days I think we need an armored vehicle instead of a convertible -s-.  


I don't want to chase my tail.  There is enough socalled news.  Watch.  Dig.  Find. Do.


Noone else can do it for you.

Cover

 It's the spooky time of year, moreso this year.  There's a lot of covering up.


Masks are disguises.  They cover with a new character.  They can cover with anonymity or blandness.  It can be fun or obstruction.  


Since it's the weird time indulge me.  What if.


There is a spiritual basis for all.  I've talked about it.  


Now what if masks are a test of complicity.  Let's see if this is accepted/tolerated.  Then move to something else.


What if noone can buy or sell without a mask, or a number.


Spooky food for thought.

Jewels

 Not the family jewels.  

Shining moments.

In my previously mentioned non dusty musty way, I'll use a graphic yet accurate analogy.

There have been loads of discussions about show biz having turned woke aka culturally Marxist.  Dull, boring pap, reminiscent of soviet style propaganda.  Agree with it or be banished.

I don't watch TV nor go to movies almost at all.  Funny 'tude for a writer and inactive actor (soon we'll see).  It depends.

As said, I will get a TV season on disc then watch as much at a time as I like and commercials gladly excluded.  Or a movie, to see what's what.  

Some things are drivel.  Many are mixed and often an effort to watch.

Get ready for the gross analogy.

Imagine a bowl of poop.  Not too vividly I hope lol.  Mixed in are some jewels, things that stand out as good/notable.

One picks with a very long handled spoon and extracts the jewels from the mess.  We wash off and disinfect those stones.  

We examine the jewels, note them and well, do what you want with them in analogy

Once picked out, I rarely go back.  The effort is tiring.

OTOH, there are shows that are outstanding or nearly so.  Is timeless classic too cliche?

A timeless jewel the US.  Yes, a lotta poop on the way -s-.  And now, well we see the waste and perfidy.

We shake it off and disinfect.

I believe Patrick Henry would agree.

Birth.

After prep, a beginning.


Birth comes to mind having witnessed the birth of my last two kids and arriving after the birth of the first.  Continuation.


Parenting might be a different thing from bearing kids.


I was giving lectures/discussions about Shakespeare at a local high school while I appeared in a pro production locally.  My son was a baby and I brought him along in his stroller.


The teachers and kids doted on him.  And one boy admitted to fathering a child.


I immediately said it was a great responsibility and was he prepared to help raise the baby.  His silence spoke volumes. 


Many are given up for adoption.  They are brought in, made part of a family, with all the rights and importantly the love and support of that family.


We will discuss another time how some babies are born and treated as objects.  We'll talk about exploitation soon.  And rescue as well as prosecuting perpetrators.


Figuratively we can prep something then put it into action.  Movies have development, preproduction, production and postproduction.  It's all analogous to desire, gestation and birth then raising kids.  The same can be true for other plans, such as a country to spring forth.


This is abundantly clear with the US.  It was conceived, declared and acted upon many levels.  And there has been much adopted into the US family.


Remember, many of us were born and raised here.  Others came from near and far to be adopted with citizenship in all its totality.


ALL of us are children of Freedom.


It is priceless birth.

Cats

 Nope, not the musical.  Real kitties.  Felis catus.


I won't go into the science/physiology etc.  As usual, you might look it up yourself.  It's certainly interesting.

It's just that I've always been a 'dog person'.  There have always been dogs around and they have been canine friends and family.

I've known several people with cats and often, though generally allergic, I've acclimated to some.  

We have taken to feeding neighborhood or feral cats.  We have a porch shelter for winter too.  

Although they run when we go out, I talk to them and rattle the food bag.  They sit and listen and are happy to eat!  

The kitties keep rodents away and, call me crazy, they sense negative things, so they keep that at bay as well.  

One cat was apparently dumped or lost.  We managed to socialize and she now has a forever home.

Wonder why this post is here?

Well, I often don't do musty dusty.  I surprise and hope I don't bore lol.

And caring for animals is human.  With a lack of humanity running loose, it is a duty of Free people to spread all that is Light.

I feed the birds and squirrels too -s-.

And strays, are we not to save them?

Notice the rescue of kids on the rise.

Be flexible, step lightly and rid the world of vermin.

Sparky

Not the electric chair.  Not Reddi Kilowatt.  Just a figure of speech.

Not even the famous 'brushfires of Freedom' quote from Sam Adams, though it is related.

My point is related to inspiration and mostly a practical application.  

Say there is a prof one knows.  Someone else is interested in teaching and has qualifications.  One introduces these two.  This is essentially the same for any job or even hobby.  Sparking interest.

Common goals.  Like minds meeting.  Match making?  Sort of without the romance lol.

Starting something, then handing it over.  Forgotten?  Maybe.  Relay race.

Fostering?  Yes.

As for me, this kind of work has its own satisfaction.  The credit should be the end result.  

There is an instinct for such connections.  Most are successful and only a few don't click.

This ability has always been.  

But I have a hunch it's moreso these days.

Kinetic energy sparks.

Leftovers.

 Oh those big dinners such as Turkey Day and Christmas.  Mom fixed plenty and as a teen I could eat 3 plates at dinner.  The leftovers beckoned my brother and me for sandwiches and pie later.  We burned it all off!  


For any sierra juliet whiskey creeping about, my bfam and I devised a system of delivering food to the poor.  More on that another time.


Leftovers can well be shared.  Loaves and fishes come to mind.  Sometime it's better than original and sometimes not -s-.  But it is available.  Waste not, want not.


On another level, it can mean inheritance.  Materially, it is effects, clothes, house, furniture etc.  Mentally, it's what was taught.  Spiritually, it is actually the core of forever, such as love never dying.  


After all is said and done, what's left?


A meal or garbage.


It's what we make of it.

Follow The Leaders

 Confusion runs rampant.  Armies or gangs of terrorist are running amok.  That's how the collectivists hide/obfuscate.  We have a commie hydra on our hands.


We need to watch, analyze, calculate.  Yes, we must be ready for action.  Just the reason we must do the former.


The hydra.  Cut off a head, 2 more appear.  Heracles solved that.  He got his nephew to cauterize each stump as he cut each head.  The final head was cut and placed under a huge rock.  Heracles dipped his arrowheads in the poisonous blood.


Terrorists?  Go after the heads.  Use their poisonous politics/tactics against them.


Is this being done?


We will see.

Undertaker

 These days there are those who want to bury America.  The masks as it were have fallen.  The tactics are classic Bolshevik.

We need undertakers.

Now, you have to take a look at the words definitions.


True, most think of those who prepare and bury the dead.  Quite a biz.

Undertake also means to take on or assume a job/responsibility.  The responsibility should be obvious.


Restore the Republic.

There is no time to fence sit.  We must be informed and when we act, it must be in truth and self defense.


Perhaps the job is more dire than the days of the War pf Independence.  

Be careful, for our enemies are slippery  They lie and denying their own existence is part of it.


We have Light and Truth on our side.  But we must act.  We must undertake the responsibility of 'doing Freedom'.  

As the collectivists try to turn tables, spread the example given us long ago but fresh as dawm.

Kruschchev said communism would bury the US.  That happens only if we let it.


People must be shown.  In spite of the obtuse who cling to lead weight of denial, crowds are flocking to Liberty.  

Undertake to show and teach them.  They are our siblings in Freedom

As for that common definition of undertaker, I leave you with the words of Dr Joseph Warren:


"May our land be a land of liberty...until the last shock of time

shall bury the empires of the world in one common undistinguishable

ruin!"   Joseph Warren

My BFAM

 My brother from another mother crossed over.  For the sake of anonymity, I'll leave off his name.  But, I'll tell you about him.

We first met in a college English class.  As people do, we simply got to know each other.  This guy was one of those people one likes from the start.  We talked things out and found much in common.

We were both involved in church work and cared about parishioners as well as all the people in several neighborhoods.  In an increasingly subverted church, we were a support base for one another.  Individuals banding together ala E Pluribus Unum.

Our commitment to family was literal as we became fathers.  Being there and raising our kids was predominate.  

We weathered the storm of liberal assault when we were actually historically liberal.  We were truly content of character.

We gathered good food discarded by groceries and distributed it to neighborhoods.  Perhaps a local food bank idea grew from that.

He was a counselor.  He helped many kids find success out of turmoil.  We both dealt with the tempest tossed and relied on one another for support.

We fought evil and evil attacked us.  By God's grace and our friendship, we came through.  

I never knew anyone who healed and loved more than he.

He was godfather to the kids, a defender of family and Light.

Vietnam War vet, doctorate in Education, counselor, family man.  And more

Free spirit of Light on earth.

I learned to fight bullies.

Physically from my big brother of blood.

Intellectually by my GreatGrandmother.

Spiritually by my big brother from another mother.

There is so much.  Hard in a few words to summarize a life of love and commitment to Light.

He is in spirit.

Love never dies.

Adoption

Sometimes family of blood and choice converge.  One can be better than another, but certainly not always.

Bloodlines are important to some.  There are those who take great pains concerning progeny.

Now, there is nothing wrong with family pride.  I am proud of mine.  The study of genes, dna etc, are interesting.  And the social and spiritual aspects are significant.  We are curious how we are put together.  

We must examine ourselves, flaws and all.  What makes us human.  And what doesn't  The current political climate has plenty of examples.

Standing for Liberty or tyranny couldn't be clearer.  Don't fall for the hype.  We have many areas still untouched and countless proponents for Freedom.  Beware trickery.  Look out for fraud.

I believe the President is aware and many with him are dealing with the negatives.  There has never been a more vociferous, antiAmerican attitude in our history.  The answer is all of us.

There are many here since before the country was born.  Like Mom used to say, some of our family met others when they arrived.  

There are many who have recently joined us.

What do we have in common?  Opportunity.  What we make it.

We are brought in together.  One family.

Arguments?  Sure.  What family doesn't argue.  But to destroy, well that's more Cain and Abel territory.

To build, strive, work.

E Pluribus Unum.

Sic

The following is opinion.  

I'm not a doctor.  Haven't played one yet, though I portrayed an animal husbandry expert -s-.  

This is an impression of something about a year ago.

Opinions?  Well actually it's what docs call their diagnoses.

Associates of Mrs Sigurd returned from overseas, one from Ireland and one from China.  The former was fine.  The latter displayed no symptoms.  But several people did.

Mrs Sigurd had a terrible bout of what we thought was bronchitis.  She was homebound for 3 1/2 weeks.  

Though she was in her room across the hall, I came down with it too.

Extreme fatigue, sore throat like glass shards, loss of appetite, loss of taste/smell, congestion/inability to get deep breaths, and a headache like a constant stabbing.  It was hell.

I've had pneumonia/bronchitis/flu several times.  Seasonal and taken care of with various meds including a certain z med.  Nothing was ever like this.

We went to the doctor's office.  They seemed puzzled but said there was a slight spike in early Fall cases.

I was given a breath test and received a huffer like asthma patients get.  Also doxycycline.  Mrs S got something similar.

Altogether, we endured about a month of recovery.  

Our daughter visited and got ill.  She immediately went to the doc, got a huffer and fairly quickly recovered.

For us, everything receded slowly, but it left.

My sense of taste/smell was the last and it frizzed for a while.  Mrs S was more damaged as she had preexisting conditions.

My system was sturdy and built back up.

Just an observation.

We are stronger now.

A sick or fear ridden society is more easily controlled.

We are experiencing lies mixed with truth.

Watch yourselves and make sure you don't surrender to fear.

Blues Brews

Well it would be great to kick back with some beer and listen to some blues.  Maybe later.  Right now we have some thinking to do.

One of the things that should come out of all the baloney is a good self examination.  Time to reflect to see where we're at.  Have we taken things for granted?  Is apathy a factor?  And do we delegate responsibility when we need to stand up ourselves?  These are all being exploited by the collectivists.  All of us should, like Crockett said, ''Be sure you're right then go ahead''.  And those in public eye/service are no exception.

Specifically, police are under attack and scrutiny.  We'll deal with politicians etal another time.  

Police work has been oversimplified and stereotyped.  Often portrayed as shining heroes or corrupt villains, real people can get lost in the shuffle.  

Mind you, there are many heroes.  They risk so that others are helped.  

And police work is detailed yet routine.  It's dangerous and sometimes boring.  And isn't over w/o paper work.  It's a club sort of.  It is also paramilitary, with a different approach except in the direst of circumstances.  

Often there are split second decisions.  Some involve physical events including shootings.  Each incident can be different.  But one thing should be clear.  It is a matter of self defense.  

Officers often do protect.  Obligation may vary.  They listen and arbitrate aka peace keeping.

The work can jade and embitter.  They need a strong support base.  It's a curious balance.

They see the down side of life and are called to the midst of evil.  They are between the dark and light.

If cops break the law they must be treated like anyone else.

When they do their jobs, they must be thanked and when heroic, honored.  

The Bolsheviks are attempting to do away with cops.  Then they would replace with soviet or Maoist secret police.

An Oath to uphold and defend the Constitution is sacred.

Now I tell you I've known many police.  Even a few top cops.  I almost became one and have counseled.  My son may enter a department.

So each cop must have faith in themselves AND all of us supporting them.

As I said to an officer the other day, 'we are all in this together' after he said we must watch each other's backs.

Do you serve the people or the state?

Lather Rinse Repeat

Double clean.  Sometimes things are that dirty.  And the situation begs it.

Our enemies, those of Liberty, are busy.  The pressure increases between the streets and congress.  All to take the President down.  Then us.

The President is wise in a restrained use of power.  Yes, restrained.  As always, the demos/collectivists are warmongers.  They seek, in provoking violence, to tumble us into a forced communist society.

The President knows this and is allowing them to show their perfidy.  We've been given a sample of what living under communism is like.  I pray for decent people who have received the brunt of it.

The only way the collectivists could win is to cheat.  And of course they accuse us of what they are guilty.  Everything else has failed.

This has been done before.  The Bolsheviks did the same crimes in 1918.  However, this is different.

Unlike the royal government, we are a Constitutional Republic.  It's a stumbling block to these mokes' tyranny.  They think they have us now though.  Multiple attempts at derailing the President, at the expense of the people, have failed.  But the collectivists have 'faith' in the one/two of disease and unrest to finally topple us.  They, as always, underestimate us.

They have been studied.  We are going after leaders.  And not all of America is topsy turvy.  Wisdom reigns how Feds are called in.  I will speak of cops later.

We are not waltzing while the country burns.  

We are Americans.

We will lather rinse repeat the filth out.

Maybe more of a power flush/uninstall.

Green Light

From its first inception by that lazy unwashed bum, Marxism has been on the move.  He expected others to do his dirty work and the useful idiots don't disappoint.

It caught on with mostly effete snobs and spread fairly quickly.  There were even elements in the American War Between the States.  Marx was a fanboy of Lincoln.  It quietly spread, snaring the gullible, personality arrested to its fold.

Easy to share what's not yours and skate what is yours.

Russia fell under manipulation from outside and inside.  Flavors change same poison with China, Cuba, Venezuela etc.

During WW2 American commies obeyed Stalin to fight Hitler when Germany attacked Russia.  They didn't stop, they detoured.  And the Chinese version continued to subvert.

Collectivists like to spin a myth of red scare, as if commies were a paranoid delusion.  In fact it was a virulent disease.

Just like vampires, commies are strongest when people disbelieve.  But like the mythic bloodsuckers, the real one are repulsed by equivalent to silver and sunlight.  Truth, constant, unrelenting destroys them.

Study these greenlighters.  And don't just counter, take the initiative.

If anyone says communism/collectivism are passe, just smile and do what you must.

Liberty, greenlit by God and the Founders, never stops.

Opportunities

Timing.  Aticki ticki tocka.  Important.

Study and look around to see.

There was a young actor/writer who had worked long and hard to learn his craft.  He made friends with notable showbiz people.  He planned.

A movie was planned.

He had a friend who was a mentor who could direct.

Another was an advisor/producer.

Details were worked out.

The young man even obtained permission to film from another friend, a County Sheriff and a Chief of Police.

Then reticence set in.

Several factors came into play.  They could have been overcome and momentum would have driven forward.  But, in spite of good efforts, stop is stop.

There had been enemies on the outside who had been overcome.  But being one's own worse enemy cannot.  Finger on the button and off.

There had been a plan to get to know a producer/writer/director and encourage him to finish his own work.  The young man would have accepted any role in helping the legend's commitment.  It didn't happen because of reticence.  The legend's own reticence floundered progress.

Reticence is a death watch beetle.

Neohope has sprung forth.

Though the mentors were elderly and died, there are new contacts and a new approach for not obly the movie, but a series of books that could be turned into movies.

Timing.

We make new opportunities and they beget new projects/new life.

Don't let fear of failure or success stop the new.  Slings and arrows and self wounding are over.

Opportunities for triumph abound.

And any resemblance to current events is not coincidental.

Succession

One thing follows another.  For weal or woe.

There was a young, up and coming actor who chose to appear in a regional Shakespeare production.  He didn't have much to do but figured it was a chance to observe a pro production and meet a notable actor.

From the beginning he was treated with disdain.  Nonetheless, he endured and indeed received a crash course in production.

As is often the case, he made friends with production people.  Their views are often different from the top tier.  And he got to know that well known actor.

One of the principal roles was filled by a local football star.  As for the rest of his makeup, that's up in the air.  As for acting, he was dumb as a box of rocks.

The director etal spent extra time past Equity hours, to coach him.  They worked and worked to little avail.  His delivery remained at what might be grade school theater level.  But they had a 'star' for audience pull.

The star had to leave for spring training.  The finances were limited and there were no understudies.  So cast members were ratcheted to fill the gap.

The young actor had had ample time to be familiar with principal roles. To fill an inevitable gap, the director brought in another local actor, instead of tapping the onset talent.

A slap in the face?  To say the least.  And yet, the young actor endured.

He came away with invaluable knowledge how to put together a production.  His subsequent work in NYC and Hollywood benefitted immensely.

Any resemblance to current events is not coincidental, for there are no coincidences.

Historicity

How many times have I talked about history?  How it must be understood fully, warts and all?

Dig.  Research.  And most of all, study the methods used by collectivists to reshape history in their twisted matrix.

In order for the commies to conquer, they must erase all and rewrite.

The Bolsheviks did it.  Nazis too.  The red guard and later iterations did it.  Stop them.

Spread truth.

Archive truth.

And remember, not all of America is on fire.  Where Freedom lives, the tyrants lose.

Sick And Well

Sometimes the last days seem to predominate our memories.

Someone was vibrant, alive, always on the move.  They had a life and shared of thenselves.

Then illness strikes.  The slow descent begins.  Deterioration sets in.

With many illnesses, it is slow.  Memory is different for those taken quickly.  Perseverance.  Love,  Grief.  They all play a part.

Sometimes, we become so engaged in care and worry, we forget all the good before.  Or there are regrets of things left undone.  Persevere.

I hope those ill have been good parents etc.  Remember the good things.

I remember A Dad with whom I went to ballgames etc.  He taught me content of character.

I recall a good dog, who was loving strong loyal and brave.

Two not really disparate examples.

A Father who said I was full of the old stuff and a doggie bounding down the stairs to joyously greet me.

Sure, there were the times when they slowly failed and we took care of them.

But we have that foundation of strength and love which never goes away.

Old And New

Things can change.  There is an end then a beginning.

Now, we could debate karma in all its nuances.  Let it be simply a term for events currently.  Good or bad, old or new methods, ways, fluctuations for how we live.

Let's say there is a pattern of events, large and small, that oppose/thwart a person.  One course is tried and obstacles rise.  Around, over, under, through?  A similar thread appears even when something else is attempted.  And occasionally there is an attempt on the person's life.

While the old is busy in its rut, a new way rises quietly.  Facts are accumulated and the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune make one tougher.  The old is studied and its ways become well known.  It never changes.  The new gives way to something surprisingly old as well.  There is eternal truth that outdistances lies.

And we think for ourselves.

The old tries to lure and bully its way back.  This is to no avail.

We move forward, on a journey of Liberty on all levels.

Loose

If something's loose, tighten it.  Well, unless it needs to be flexible.  Loose and tight are surely variables.

Loosen the tyrannical grasp some governors and mayors are exercising now.

Tighten laws against letting criminals run rampant.

A particular kind of loose has been noted for a while.

Remember the old adage 'the inmates are running the asylum'?  Well, it's true.

Increasingly, we see the unhinged literally loose in the streets.  Many stories pop up with people exhibiting severe mental illnesses.  Often violence and complete dependence on emotion ensue.  I have a background in clinical psychology from college.  I suggest if you want those explanations, seek them.

I am talking about the delusional, psychopathic etal.  There are many meuroses for instance not in that league.  It's when something dominates a life that it becomes dangerous.

Many who should be under care are just left to wander.  It is part of Cultural Marxism.  Worse is better.

IMHO collectivism is unhinged.  It defies logic and contributes to the destruction of society from within.

Instead of treatment, many are left to spew.

Confrontation to deal with problems is called for.  Exposing collectivism as the social/spiritual plague it is grows today, in spite of diversions like up north.

In this case, we must tighten up, lest we become completely unhinged.

Show And Tell

People can be told the moon is made of green cheese.  Then they either accept that or find out for themselves.

I always advise you to dig, research.  Facts are stubborn things.

The collectivists will obfuscate of course.  They will ascribe to us what they themselves are guilty of.  Mostly editorial type opinion passes for facts with our leftist buds.  And when they demand cites, if you oblige (I don't usually.  I tell them to find it themselves for the truth is before them.), they will claim your sources are merely biased and from unreliable places.  In spite of actual facts, they drone on and claim you are doing what they actually do.

Now, facts are finally inundating the public concerning crimes against the President, the People and Constitution.  How convoluted it is.  And the material is irrefutable, though of course, the collectivists try.  The People are being shown.

Like the friend who taught me to house paint my way through college, there is a right way and wrong way.

So, if that green cheese is not the moon and doesn't even exist, you will soon see.

Holes.

Don't fall in one nor trip over one.

As I always advise, examine what's going on.  Some stuff needs more than others.  But, whatever you do, don't be merely a headline scanner.  Don't jump to conclusions.

Collectivists holes don't change.  Craving and want especially of the collective, drive them.  They destroy and do not replace.  There is just more want.  Worse is better.

The Constitutional Republic has flaws.  It attempts to improve but never throws out the original intent.  The rights of the individual likewise are recognized and form one.

One denigrates.  One uplifts.  Things get worse or better.

Power grows/government takes.  Power decreases/government shrinks.

It's a classical pattern.

Collectivism at people's expense vs the Republic for people's benefit.

Is it simple?  Yes and no.

There are often mixed results and thus the holes.  It is a constant endeavor.

Therefore, look for those holes.  Where collectivism creeps, expose and stop it.

Where Freedom rings, proliferate.  But make sure it's open and honest.

There is so much to do.

Watch out for holes.

Controlling due to lack of self, the biggest hole of all.

Tips

Words to the wise?

Don't panic.

There are those reveling in the fearmongering currently abroad.  Fear engenders control.  Face fear.  Be aware.

I suggest taking things seriously.  That doesn't mean you accept anything particular.  Examine, question and decide for yourself.  Look at who associates with whom.  What have they to gain/lose?  As with all, dig, research see about association and motive.

Several governors and mayors are abusing Freedom.  Point them out, speak up and do Freedom.

Note the qualities of people.  We have everything from wacked behavior to over cautious and sloppy reactions.  Stand firm but be like the sapling in the wind that bends yet rises back up.

Watch what's going on elsewhere.  Or behind, underneath, around.  The world turns.  And those who would control us hope we don't notice.

Help others.

In spite of isolation, reach out.  Find ways.  E Pluribus Unum.

Do all you can to strengthen your immune system.  Fresh air etc. Move around.

Our enemies mix lies with truth.  Watch them.  Note them.  As always do not let them get away.  Remember it isn't just a president they're after.  They seek to dominate all of us.

I remember yet again what my German/Medieval European History prof said.  She had been a translator at Nuremberg and saw firsthand tyranny.

Discussing East/West Germany at the time she simply said that there are always those who want to be told what to do.  She came to America to think for herself.  I must find out if she is still with us and safe.

Think for yourselves.  Do what we always do and proclaim Liberty.

Bits

Little pieces.  Or part of a rein.  Nothing happens overnight, until it does.

The socalled swamp is cumulative.  It's taken decades to reach the depth of corruption witnessed now.  And the last 8 years before the current President was a concerted effort to completely subvert our government by seeding all areas with collectivists/globalists.  It's quite a task to drain.  More like a power flush.

In spite of great odds, the President has steadily excised collectivists.  There is more coming and lots going on behind the scenes especially with our current event.  And that current event plays a large part.

The collectivists see and are attempting to exploit a crisis.  No surprise.  If left to their unAmerican designs, the country would truly be economically wrecked.  Inactivity leads to atrophy.  It takes a while.

The country was at historical levels of economic success.  With the current situation, there has been damage.  But that damage is being monitored and soon will be on the road to recovery.  We will see.

Poverty makes people more easily controlled.  Sickness as well.  And the President is right that we are seeing who is for Freedom and who is not.  The truth will out.

What we do with these bits remains to be seen.  However, the collectivists seem to be backfiring.  More and more people are waking up.  It's one of the benefits of staying home.  Many miss Freedom at whatever level it's limited.

There are some who don't care if we tank, as long as it stops the President.  It's like an assassin taking out a whole plane to get one person.  We won't let them.  He won't let them.

There is an immense amount of ego with our enemies.  Always has.  They trip over their own um feet.

They try to thwart cures/treatments.  Again a sick people are more easily controlled.  But people aren't succumbing as hoped by our enemies.  And we are being made aware of just who is tyrannical.

We are preparing just in case there is more skullduggery and will be able to equip if needed.

Do not panic.  Do not be afraid.  Be aware.

Bit by bit as I've said, we will prevail.

Freedom/Liberty are the trend.  We are moving forward.  Lenin's old saying 'worse is better' is failing.

Brushfires of Freedom are being lit here and elsewhere.

That light grows in bits, showing where and what to do.

Do your bit.

Moments

Sounds like a 70s coffee commercial lol.

I just think it's time to take stock..

There's a lot going on right now, both silliness and seriousness.  We need to sift through that stuff.

Things have slowed down considerably.  Many have been at home.  For a time, it perhaps has given people a chance to get off the merry go round and see what's going on.

It's a chance to appreciate people with service jobs.  Not just cops and firemen.  The people who keep commerce literally moving.  We serve in many ways, on many levels.

I have before talked of giving credit to all.  So many take things for granted.  Who builds the roads, buildings, manufactures many articles as well as facilitating life.  That includes food service and grocery workers, among many others.

We have had some time to reflect on where we each are.  What we value.  How we deal and relate with others.  I hope it's strengthening us as persons, a country and the world.

Time to spend with those we know and love in various roles.  Homeschooling is great and a worthy challenge.  Don't be afraid and get help.  Home repair projects, learning to cook or finding something new to do or pursue things long put off.  Thus one might meet new people even now.  The human endeavor is pretty energetic.

For some, these moments are very different from their routine.  Embrace it and take a breather.

For me, there isn't a lot divergent from before.  However, events go on and wheels turn.

We must notice what is going on.  Take note, for one thing touches another.

Thanks for taking a moment to read my thoughts.  More, as always, to follow.

Now

Look.  Sink or swim.  Blow out the stink.  Move.  Where the rubber hits the road.

There comes a point where you cannot avoid what's happening.

Reticence has often been self defeating.  Wait too long and opportunity passes you by.  That's not to say a time and place for action.  Houston waited, then struck at just the right time.  Dancing on a string.

We are where we need to be.  Time to clear our minds.  Time to take stock.  Action can be mental rather than or in addition to physical.

Mirror.  Now I look older than I did years ago.  Not bad though lol.  I work with what I have.  And the same goes for the soul.

There is no stopping us.  We never give up.  Time to decide.

Now.

Monday, March 30, 2020

We

The People.  Individuals coming together for the common good.  Quite the opposite of collectivism.  That's forced lockstep and no original thought.

We are all in this together, whatever this is.  And it is time to examine ourselves.

What have we taken for granted?  Are we predators or liberators?  Are we coming together or drifting apart?

Even the poor in USA have it good.  To an extent, yes.  We have advantages and opulence only dreamt of in the past.  Things are tighter now.  Are we struggling?  Are we spoiled?  Depends.

Some people cruise along, with goods and services at beck and call.  When everything is done for us, we forget others serve.  Then they hit a wall.  Panic sets in.  They hoard.  Notice I said some.

Others have appreciated what's been done for them.  They realize we all play a part in society.  When times toughen, so do they.  They stockpile.

Many are in the middle and have modest preparation.  They are wise, for they are unlikely to panic.  It is the key to our emergence and triumph.

We will win.  We will continue to Restore the Republic.

Me and ye.  We.

Are

Be.  Intransitive verb.  Many interesting iterations.  However, here we are.  State of being.  How are you doing?

Economy?  Scuttle it and achievement.  If it is constructed well, it will come back.  Or restructured in a healthy free market society.

Health?  Threaten or compromise it.  Sick people, including fear of disease, are easier to control.  Reach past the fear.  Do sensible, not fear oriented things to be healthy.

Fear, hatred, chaos are being countered now just as they have always been.  Gratitude and preparedness existed before and will continue.  It is the opposite which gives an illusion of power.

Nothing lofty nor lah dee dah about this current situation.  Think about motes and logs.  But meet the test.

Think of a pile, stack, what have you.  For a long time, it's been there stored.  You take something out of it.  The support of the sundry articles shifts.  It might topple.  Or, with careful shifting, it'll wobble but will remain.  See what works.

Time to go light.  It's a chance to tighten up.  Work out mentally and physically.  IOW have a cookie and/or a beer etc.  Just go slowly.

Some people will suffer and die currently.  And certain other people will exploit.

Remember people die and are born every day still.  May it bring us to appreciate the cycle more.

Weather the storm.  Heavy, light, calm, our state of being remains.

Where

I'm reminded when Sam's Club East arbitrarily closed a couple of years ago.  One day our daughter and I did some regular shopping.  The next day it was closed.  Just like that.  Employees showed up and were turned away.  They did receive severance and a chance for jobs elsewhere.  Hmmf.

Mrs and I went Friday, as they opened the store to liquidate merchandise.  It was already emptying fast.  Holes were appearing all over the food section especially.  The lines were long and the employees were stressed.  I looked around and contemplated what a catastrophe would do.

Well, we have found out in a mild way.  We see the result of what I'd call limited panic concerning health and goods.

My advice, albeit late, is NOT to panic, and learn to prepare.

Toilet paper.  There.  I said it.  Much has been bought in panic.  Much grabbed in greed.  Many were prepared.

There are places with varying degrees of severity.  Here fairly good.  LA not so good.  And there are many in between.  NB that the worst places are very blue.  We are fortunate here in that many of us resist a total takeover.

Make the most of where you are and where you're at.

This is textured.  On one level, it was meant to discumboobulate society here and everywhere.  It was meant to put the President on the spot, no matter the disease.  Think of an airplane downed just to get one person.  Socio/economic chaos is food for collectivism.  On the spiritual, it is a fallen path meant to pave the way for something that remains unnamed.  You all can figure that out methinks.

Be careful.  Stay well.  Protect yourself and others.  More later.

Sisyphus

King of Ephyra, punished in the underworld for his self aggrandizement and deceit.  He rolls a huge boulder up a hill.  As it nears the top, it rolls down and he repeats the action forever.  Since the origin of the myth, it has become a symbol of futility.

Is this odd?  Once upon a time, a young student minister ran afoul of the autonomous bishop and his pastor/minions.  This was because the young man preached Christianity/faith is to be lived every day.  One time he even talked about child sex abuse.

For a period of time the student served a particular church.  He did all except Communion blessing and weddings.

The congregation supported him and wished he could actually become pastor.  There was unrest in the national church and the student advised facing it eye to eye w/o fear, just faith and common sense.  Also, he said if the time came after ordination, he would see where he might go.

This guy was suspended from preaching and had to leave his service for the congregation behind.  This was simply because he did not like the collectivist bent and he also didn't osculate the bishop's posterior.

To make a short story lomg (-s-), he was mysteriously invited to assist the newly appointed pastor at that church.  The folks were glad to see him as he was them.

In the vestry, he outright asked what was going on re his suspension.  The mealy mouthed pastor said that 'people in high places did not want to see him succeed'.  Curiouser and curiouser and certainly not Christian.  In fact it was at least reminiscent of Pharissees.  And at the risk of seeming sensationalist, the young man suspected not just collectivism in the church, but also Luciferianism.

So, the pastor preached about Sisyphus that Easter Sunday.  How impossible it was to accomplish certain goals and that the boulder always rolled down.  Shouldn't he have spoken of the stone that rolled from Jesus' tomb and His Resurrection instead?

This young man continued helping people when and where he could and still does.  Serving the Light happens everywhere.  Detours yes.  Stopping, no.

I contend the real modern Sisyphus is the minion/pastor the young man encountered and the organization that in reality opposed Jesus and the church universal.  Such projection is common when modern Pharisees attempt to pollute truth.

That stone might just roll back on them.

Past Present

Some things are left in storage too long.  Dust and cob/spider webs get thick.  Some paper yellows while others stay remarkably fresh.  Things meant to be unpacked remain boxed.

I've repackaged several boxes that were left neglected for years.  Old records mixed with family momentos and some things gotten to by rodents.  They have been cleaned out.

Much can be recycled, while memories are kept.

This all seems poetic, symbolic.  Yet, this has a profound effect on life in the present.

Memories, of course, can set forth from photos and papers long stored.  Perhaps not forgotten, maybe on the back burner or they are in cold storage.  They flit to mind, but the affairs of the day swiftly carry them aside.

Sometimes these items are stored with the intent to move soon and unpack them.  However, for one reason or another, they stay unpacked, collecting dust.  Artifacts.

There might be stagnation.  Yet, once unearthed, artifacts become energized.

Moving forward, having regrouped, these things upturned add to the momentum.

Ready for a move.  All packed to transport to a new HQ.  It's an adventure in itself.

The past presents itself and accompanies now into then.

A gift, a chance taken, claimed.

Past present forward.

Deep Smear

Liberals/collectivists are vindictive.  Truism. An example.

An actor is blacklisted in local theater.  He opposed bullying, intimidation and victimization.  So, underhanded, he was never hired again in a particular market.  Auditions are just that.  You win or lose and go on.  But in local theater sometimes, as in larger venues, you are asked to appear or you know the odds.  Nothing.

Further, as an up and coming actor, sometimes one takes outside jobs.  Waiting table comes to mind etc.  An office temp job ended.  The actor had an organizational mind and fixed a very messed up office filing system.  The company was pleased and even gave him a goodbye party replete with some gifts.

Upon returning to the temp office, he was told by the head that he was cited for messing up the job.  And when asked, she said someone had to take the blame.  This woman was a friend of the woman the actor had dressed down, the teacher who bullied kids and covered her hubby's abuse of teen boys.  Hmm.

The actor had appeared in a prominent role in a first rate theater.  A tape was made of the play.  He asked to borrow it, as some production people etc wanted to see his work.  He was told the tape was missing.  The artistic director was subject to funds that had to be approved by the same prof of ill repute.  Also he was never hired by the director, even though praised and worked at the theater to help establish it along with his wife.  They had been complimented as helping found the theater.  The wife had even made soup for the director when he was sick and the director celebrated the couple's first birth.  Money talks usw.

The actor, as usual for such folks, needed new headshots.  A local guy who was quite good did a set.  They were horrible.  Looked like a ghost.  Other work the photographer had done was good, flattering for the actors.  Our blacklisted actor's were piquantly trash.

The photographer and his wife were friends of the aforesaid prof and hubby.  Is there a pattern?  Or is this just grousing by a 'disgruntled' artist?

One could come to one's own conclusions.  Add the fact that in addition to the ill repute earned by the teaching couple, they had a history of vindictive behavior with others to the extent of attempting to ruin careers.  Sounds like junior league versions of some politicians of historical level.

That they were liberal is, to me, a foregone conclusion  Collectivism uses those same tactics.  Deception, projection and coverup are daily M.O. for the scurrilous.

What happened to the actor?  He rose above the fray and went to NYC/Hollywood and trained with real pros, even some liberals.

He was simply told by an ally that his views would be enhanced or encumbered, depending on the crowd.  So it was and is.

At a local party, he had occasion to converse with a lady of immense talent, who had initially been trained by his wife's grandmother.  This lady was a rising star.  She married a man who was far less talented and was jealous of her.  He coerced her to move back home, where he ran with the crowd of wannabes and big ducks in a small pond.  He both allied and disparaged said crowd.  Such is the nature of hell.

The lady advised the actor not to let them do to him, what they did to her.

He didn't let them.

Common

What is in the heart?  Is it the same for everyone or do our hearts' desires differ?  Yes and no.

Things have changed.  Liberal and conservative labels have shifted.  Perhaps better, the masks have fallen and we see people as they truly are.

There has been a lot of talk recently concerning Star Trek and several other sci-fi franchises.  They have morphed into cultural Marxist miasmas, bent on destroying original intent and replacing it with collectivist matrix.

Please search the web for all the nuances of how culture is subverted.  There is still ample example.  There is a piquant point I'm making.

I sent a note to an actor re Star Trek.  This person was known to be beyond liberal, certainly leftist.

I noted we were divergent politically, but that ST had always been a place for many to gather and enjoy the shows.  It appealed to many if not all. ST traditionally was NOT political.  Yes, major issues were tackled on TOS and subsequent shows.  But it was left up to the viewer what to decide, what to think.  That's good storytelling to me, no matter the medium.

The actor responded that EVERYTHING was politics, inre it was the foundation of everything.  That's the quintessential collectivist view.

And there was the obligatory slamming of the President, including all the tired put downs.  I refuse to reiterate that bilge.  BTW, we have a President who learned from his mistakes, as we all should.  And there is an unfathomable faith in Freedom together with an enthusiasm to restore the Republic.  That is the quintessential way of those who proclaim individual Liberty.

I have no problem with fiction that can illustrate said Freedom.  It must be truly fair/balanced, for if it is, there is no doubt how fatal collectivism is and how diametrically opposed to all that is right, free and light about us and the US.  And for the matter of that, for the rest of the world.  Success where Liberty lives and desolation elsewhere.

So for characters like that guy, there is indeed nothing in common, no common ground.  Collectivists are intractable in their fatalism.  They live in a world of lies and half truths because there is nothing for them to defend against the truth.

Look up common.  See its nuances.  I look to familiarity.  We know truths.  We live them.

Unfortunately, lies and half truths, along with the commensurate mud slinging, are all too common amongst collectivists.

Let that be common knowledge.

Chemistry

Better living?

There are still chemistry sets!  I used to experiment as a kid.  Had both fun and learned something.  It was my and many other kids' intro to socalled hard science.

Don't know what's in the current sets.  Lazy reporting on my part?  Maybe.  But there was nothing dangerous years ago.  Besides I had supervision.

I've always been one to wonder and investigate what makes things tick.  That's on all levels in all ways.

Chemistry involves action/reaction.  One thing leads to another.  And some things blend while some don't.

In relationships, we often hear of chemistry.  Are they simpatico?  Things in common?

We hear of chemistry when devising business deals.  It's around when we find out if we like something or not.

Sometimes it's instinctual.  There are people who rub us the wrong way and vice versa.  Light and dark know each other.

So, mix and match.  Watch out for danger and go ahead.  Freedom is risky.

Empathy

Beyond sympathy.  It's more than been there done that.

Some of us experience good and bad of others.  We can 'see' what comes down.

Stress can be good or bad.  Do we have ways to relieve it?  Good, healthy methods which see us through.

Believe it or not re the level of caring people give.  I contend such empathy happens. I've experienced folks who do so.

If we can offer support one on one, then we can continue to unite.  We can give of ourselves for groups and for our country.  We can be on the side of others worldwide seeking Freedom as well.

It's not a matter of allowing your emotions to control you.  It is a balance of head and heart.

That  is the crux of life and certainly the essence of the Republic.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true lol.

One piece fits with another.

Together we stand.  Divided we fall.

Legal.

Remember Darth Sidious' manipulations in The Phantom Menace etc?  Slowly, secretly, behind the scenes, he manipulated policies and suborned people and laws to his benefit, all for control.  Sound familiar?

He was cautioned that certain things weren't legal in the Republic.  ''I'll make it legal'', he said as he wended his way to power.

Funny thing that one of my daily dictionary words today is allege.  Commonly used today, it implies that something hasn't been proven, even though it has occurred.  For 'legal' reasons, it must be processed in a court of 'law'.  It used to mean someone offering proof in support of a plea.  There is truth and there is legal truth.

Rule of law implies Constitutionally established  procedure.  Rule of men implies the almost whimsical attitude undermining the former.  ''Well it's the law'' is the excuse for many abuses.  And without the Constitutional checks and balances, whatever someone in temporary control says goes.  Witness the current impeachment process.  They say one thing and do another.

The specter of the distorted faces of traitors pop up and file past my mind.  They don't predominate, but they do create distaste.  These are the perpetrators of sedition and treason.  It has always been so.  Let them be a reminder that Freedom isn't free.  We must always fight to preserve it.

As Crockett said in The Alamo 1960, ''There's right and there's wrong.  You gotta do one or the other.  You do the one and you're living.  You do the other and you may be walkin' around, but you're dead as a beaver hat.''

So that might explain why it seems that we get down to the wire, to the edge of desperation.

We are fast coming to extinction or redemption.

Best to remember legal is not moral.

Workout

Seems like it was just New Years Eve.  A whole month into the year already.  There is a difference now.

I was not besotted.  I was breaking with sporadic exercise and a slow system that obstructed my goals.

Sure, I was aware and busy doing my part, working to Restore the Republic.  But I was personally lagging.  I crept along, distracted.

Now, I'm shedding some excess weight by watching what I eat.  No alcohol for a while and activity, physical vigor.  It's working.

Due to my work, I'm at my bedroom desk a lot, tapping away.  I get up and move around.  In addition to workouts, I do calisthenics.  I flex, breathe, working my stomach muscles.  I include my butt and grip and neck.    And perhaps most importantly, I walk.  I'm rebuilding my endurance.

As for time, I remain acutely aware.  I'm mindful of aging and I'm not letting myself grow discouraged.  I will use my time.

How much time is up to the Great Maker.  I hope I'm allowed enough to accomplish my part in all this.

I will keep on.  I will workout.
