No Mas Pantalones

Liar liar pants on fire. I could write a spacious diatribe re that little childhood taunt. Appropriate perhaps, since the behavior of so many is childish and said taunt very apt. There's an insurance commercial where two insincere salesmen keep answering questions with lies as their pants smoulder then burst into flame. Trying to be trendy one says 'no mas pantalones' Spanish for no more pants, plus the reference to 'liar liar...'. Sure the nod is obvious. The collectivists are losing their pants while the Republic loses its trousers. Those silly liberals are losing as long as they are exposed. It's a combo spotlight and feet to fire that is their downfall. We must be more unrelenting than any Fabian socialist in pressuring them. These mokes lie pathologically and delude themselves it's for the 'cause'. And the ones who pull their strings, they are stone cold psychopaths. Yep, turn the tables on 'em. Make 'em lose not just their pants, but the war. Because, what they do and would do to us if they win is untenable.

Under Pressure

Here is a small reveal: Under Pressure form David Bowie and Queen was the first song I played as a DJ. 'Pressure, pressing down on me'. Nope, I'm not commenting on those guys. I like to leave certain opinions up to each person. But I reserve the right to give mine and exchange ideas. That must be one of the greatest saving graces when we are under pressure. It comes from so many places on so many levels. It's worldwide, national, state, local, gtoup and individual. Part of the idea is to keep people so busy that they don't have time to address the issues. It's not diversions like sports (ok unless it gets obsessive) or hobbies (same). It's grinding away with the gov putting more taxes, laws, statutes on our backs like a load of leaden kaka. We are kept so busy, we wonder if we are alone. Isolation, limitation and resignation bear down. The way out is to realize we are not alone! Now, I know a lot of us are in the company of like minded folk. A glance to the right can tell you something about that. I'm reaching out to those who think it's no use. We are stronger together than apart. So, this is my 'Captain Obvious' post. But, I bet we all know people who are lost in a sea of bureaucracy. Open up their worlds! Remember phone trees? One person calls someone maybe two. They in turn do the same and so on. Pressure can be handled. Just don't blow your lid -s-.

Pravda

What is truth? Good question from Pontius Pilate. That's because people frequently find truth relative. They see what they want to see. That's also why MSM are so effective. Taking facts and creatively bending them, or leaving out, or emphasizing certain things at certain points is sadly an art. Pravda is Russian for truth. Why it was such a joke in cold war days. Mastery of manipulation extended back in US news and, for that matter, whenever people have wanted to know what was going on. Some folks want to be told, want to be cared for, controlled. Marga Meier, who taught me German and Medieval History talked often of the divided Germany. There was likely less control in West than in East. But now it is a worldwide tendency to 'edit' events. Accept that, or be like me and how my brother and many teachers taught me to dig. With the internet, it's easier to snap to something and get the unadulterated evidence so vital to 'pravda'. Things are quickly and in some cases viciously covered up. That's why you should check the people in the right column here. These guys and gal can refer you to further Freedom seeking spots. It boils down to interpreting what's going on. Believe or equivocate, it's up to you. The truth will not only give you the means to be Free, it will be a faithful guide, if you choose to believe.

Damn Traitors

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague." --Marcus Cicero Well, he certainly had a way with words, huh? Of course, Cicero saw Julius Caesar as a threat to the Roman Republic. His dictatorship was supposed to be temporary. We can't be sure if that's what Julius had in mind. The point is Cicero saw Caesar's rise to absolute power. And we know it corrupts absolutely. Mind you, none of this is just cut and dried. There was a lot of intrigue and factionalism, eventually leading to Cicero's death, after Caesar's assassination. Don't look for exact parallels re our Republic and the Roman one. We have the only true Constitutional Republic in world history. Rather than go into a big lecture, go research. Our history is there for the study. I'm simply thinking traitors. It's not just paranoia, more than a Red Scare, though that was real and communism is very much alive. Traitors offer the knife in the back. They lie and use half lies to rot the fiber of Freedom. Alinsky comes to mind as well as the tactics of the Soviet machine. Compromising our way out of Freedom continues. Therefore, contravening that continues apace. The collectivists love to paint our history and ourselves in the worst possible light. The goal is to discredit, perhaps even compromise us. I think the goading is to push Freedom minded folks to do something rash. Here is my suggestion: Countermove/intel them. Traitors are many and have existed for centuries. Remember Adams' Sedition Act. Statism/Federalism surely destroys us without commies. However, they work hand in hand, resulting in strange bedfellows. Liberals think they can have their cake and eat it too. Many long for the new dawn, the impossible dream of collectivists always. The State rules but some are more equal than others. Don't be paranoid. Face traitors with truth ie, our heritage of the people ruling, self government. I'm sure we are still in for the fight of our country's life. Power is not willingly surrendered. Neither will our rights. As I have said, we fight an enemy that never sleeps. We must learn to sleep less.

Nowhere Man

I thought it was a provocative series. How's that for Hollywoody wording? -s- Thomas Veil is a photojournalist. He's at his favorite restaurant with his wife and knows the owner personally. He gets up to use the restroom. When he comes back, his life has been erased. No one recognizes him. He's kicked out and his home is not his anymore. His wife denies knowing him and is with another man. ATMS don't work, his Mom had a stroke and is incapable of recognizing him. His best friend is dead. Everything is gone. Totally erased. It seems his circumstance is based on a photo he took called Hidden Agenda. It depicts four men hanged in South America. His proof is in negatives of the shoot. A secret organization chases him to retrieve them. So most of the series is about Veil keeping the negatives from them and trying to find out more about them. It's revealed he was part of an experiment in brainwashing called Project Marathon. All the facts he thought he knew were implanted. He is a covert op, his code is Gemini and Heritage House is investigating the Organization and Marathon. Hidden Agenda is indeed that as the people actually killed were four Senators. He watches a tape explaining all at the end of the series but it's left up in the air. What's this got to do with anything? Everything. Don't doubt for a minute that mind games are not played. There are people who devise them full time. They just are not as intricate as portrayed in Nowhere Man. However, people do disappear for one reason or another. People go off the grid on their own or are disappeared by others. You can make of this what you will. Reality is what people agree on. And it just might be that if we don't have a strong sense of self, that reality will be what we are told instead of what is in our hearts and minds. Somewhere out there lies the truth.........

Nyah Nyah Nyah

Blaming others. A crux of the disfunctional. If you ascribe blame to someone or something else, it takes off the pressure, no matter how skilled the frameup nor how hackneyed. It may actually work, at least enough for the blamer to not only feel justified, but to be exonerated in the eyes of other. Doubt is the keey. Take false accusation of child abuse. In a divorce (not mine btw), the wife points the finger at the husband. Wishing to inflict the maximum injury, she says he 'molested' or raped the kids. She will go as far as brainwashing them into thinking he did. She plants doubts even in the minds of these loved ones. Not much love there to do that to them either in reality or to warp their perception. The husband successfully contests this crime and is exonerated. Yet there will be those who wonder if he DID do something. And, his kids have been hurt anyway. It may take a long time to rebuild relationship. It is at best a scar that remains. It can be overcome of course. Time and care can take people past victimhood, to survivorship, to victor. Never has Crockett's motto 'be sure you're right, then go ahead', been more true. Impeached President Clinton lied then pointed the finger in the form of bombings to take off the pressure of scrutiny re his rapist past. Of course his impeachment should have concerned his selling out to China and not diddling a Mossad agent in the Oval Office. There are still folks who think the sun rises and sets in him and his wife. All I say is sheesh. On a person level, there are those disturbed ones who can't face their mental illness so they accuse others of the very things that plague them. So deep in denial do they become they should take advantage of a sale at the dive shop on scuba suits. If you are on the receiving end of any of this, no matter what level, stand tall. Weather the storm and fight back with truth. There may be those who think otherwise, but you can 'repoint' at them with their sickness. Make it abundantly clear, without being vindictive, that they are liars, pure and simple. Stand for truth in the Republic when it's attacked, and yourself and others. For truth is the basis. Oh yes. One thing. In standing fast, don't let them rattle you so that you appear desperate. That's guaranteed to add credence to their lies, for masny might think 'aha, you protest too much'. Stand steady in the storm, no matter how hard it gets, and be a victor!

More Smoke Signals

Smoke is a great analogy/metaphorical device. Wispy, cloudy, thick, thin, smoke can be sweet as sage or caustic as a chemical fire. It can also convey messages itself aka smoke signals used a long time by American Indians for long distance comm. I also see smoke as a red flag. Where there is smoke, there is fire comes to mind. We all know about smoke and mirrors. Obfuscation is the name of the socio-political game. It is the tried and true tool of the collectivists. Thought I'd touch on a few of the current crop. Take the Trayvon-Zimmerman game for instance. My impression is that Zimmerman is being railroaded by the usual race baiting suspects. Under the guise of righteous indignation, racial division is being fomented. Pair that with the questioning of castle doctrine/stand your ground laws and we have a nasty rights sucking event. The Republican Primary Senate race is huffin' and puffin'. Our dear antiFreedom Lugar is scared. He has real opposition for the first time. Richard Murdock offers Constitutionality,he has promised to serve the people not the state and I know personally he is progun. OTOH, we have a man as it were who has voted for every Freedom sucking bill, revels in power as a lackey to the state, or if you will, thinks he IS the state, and rivals Chuckie Schumer as a manipulative antigunner. As a result Lugar is running one of the most egregious mud slinging campaigns I've ever seen. He's lying and of course mixes it with the truth. Let me summarize and say Murdock has been doing his job as State Treasurer. The apparent coup de gras is a proLugar blip by our esteemed Governor, Mitch Daniels. Our Man Mitch my Aunt Fanny. He is showing his true colors as a RINO statist as he claims Lugar is the best thing since sliced bread. He classically twists the rhetoric claiming it is Lugar being attacked by Murdock. Did Mitch hold hands with Alinsky? He has nothing to lose, as he is kaput next election. Thank God Becky Skillman isn't running. That's another story -s-. Thanks Mitch for promotin g a 'man' who should never have been Mayor of Indianapolis let alone Senator. And speaking of smoke, we have a citywide 'smoking ban'. Yay. Breath easily all you statist prigs. You can now go to a local establishment and prattle about how self important you are without enduring smoke. For centuries, bars have been places where people also smoke. It's implied at least til now, that you go to one, if you don't smoke, you know people do. But we must be considerate. no, make that exclusionary. Now smoke free we can all be healthy as what is actually a ruse to gain more control tightens its grip. I'm not saying smoking is good for you. I gave up cigs long ago though I like a good cigar with my whiskey. It's my choice. Choice. The factor always missing when these effete snobs seek to impose themselves. Health is important. Yet it is MY calculated risk to enter a 'smoking establishment' let alone smoke. Let nonsmokers open a nonsmoking bar. Let people who smoke and who CHOOSE to work there alone. Oh yes. I digress. It's ultimately about control. Be it self defense with racial smoke, elections with aspersions cast on Freedom or smoking, we see the smoke signals rise. Time to pay attention and get a big ol industrial fan to blow bloviating away.
