Government - Media

    Some years ago during an election cycle the media dipped it first toe into the dealings of the government, and thus was born an unholy alliance. Red became blue and Blue became red with the stroke of a pen.

    You see at the time the color red was associated with the Red Menace. The Commies. Maps showing the advancement of the Commies were always drawn with dripping blood Red arrows sweeping down from the north. Infiltrating the peaceful countries of southeast Asia. 

    Some young creative desk jockey artist got it in his head that the color Red was a bad association and he must have been a Democrat because at that time the colors that represented the Democratic party was Red. He must have seen this an affront to his artistic and political sensibilities. So during the election cycle he switched the color scheme of the Democratic party Blue for Red. Thus associating his arch enemy the Republicans with the Commie Red in a news report and the new color scheme stuck and thus Red became Blue and Blue became Red.

    I believed that this color swap happened probably under the watchful eye of the likes of Walter Cronkite or possibly Chet Huntley. But it seems that it was John Chancellor. Maybe.

    Who knows and by now who cares. Its not going to be changed back now.

My Stuff - Motivations

    Why does anybody do what they do? 

    Do they do it because of societal or peer pressure? Do they want to do good because it is the right thing to do, morally speaking? Do they want to do good to be seen as a good person in their community? Do they do good because they want to appease God? Do they do good because they want to please God? And they want to be pleasing to God for the simple fact that it pleases God? Or are they climbing the stairway to heaven be being good in the sight of God.

    No one can really know, I don't think. Even those doing good might be conflicted by this question. I feel that if a person is boastful about his good deeds or goodness that is sort of a tell that they are doing good for the wrong reasons.

    I think this is a question that is between the individual and himself or the individual and God. I don't always know the exact phrasing but there is a scripture that reads something like "Only God can know the heart of a man."

    I can say that I have read the Bible cover to cover, once. But I didn't do it for the right reasons. I know that now. I did it because I was commuting by train 45 minutes each way. I was reading the local paper but found that I was not getting any 'nourishment' from that. So I set it as a goal to read the Bible. I did it I know that I did not get the very most out of such a read as I should or would have had I read it for the 'right' reason. What I did get out of that read was that I do recall many scriptures, perhaps not verbatim, but can come close in a pinch. And in some circles that is impressive enough to have made it all the more worth while for me. The next thing I got out of that read was a feeling of frustration on the part of Jesus. If you read the Gospels back to back to back... you come away feeling that Jesus kept having to repeat himself over and over ad nauseam. It felt like the disciples were just too thick to get it. Something that I did get was a feeling that Judas was an unfortunate company man. He was tasked with possibly the most onerous of tasks that has ever been. He was called upon to betray Jesus. To sell Jesus out to the Romans. None of the disciples did any kind of good by Jesus. They, each and every one of them, was a fuck. Peter who said that he would never sell out Jesus denied him three time in a single night. The rest couldn't even stay awake one crumby night praying with Jesus. Just one fucking night. I have stayed awake for nearly 80 hours for a work project with a ridiculous deadline. And in my opinion that is NOTHING compared to staying awake with your Lord and Savior for just on crumby night. Just one night. But in order for Judas to do his job the rest of the flunkies had to fall asleep or they would have spirited Jesus away from the Garden to some remote place safe from the Romans. And in order for the crucifixion to take place somebody had to turn Jesus over to the Romans. So it fell to Judas. He collected his 30 pieces of silver but later threw himself over a bridge for the guilt that he did feel. I don't believe that it was the 30 pieces that motivated Judas but the knowledge that someone had to do that or there could be no ransom sacrifice and no resurrection and on and on and on.

    Just my understanding. I am no theological so take this with a grain of salt.

My stuff - Observations

    I saw a thing at the Costco the other day. Its that time of the month and I can afford to go to Costco. Plus they were out of eggs when I went the other day so I was back.

    I saw the most unlikely couple that I think I have ever seen. I saw a pasty soft-body ginger boy being loved up by a remarkably hot young Goth Girl.

    In general I love the red hair. I say that, but I love the red hair on women, Not men. I don't know why red hair looks so wrong on men and so hot on women. Just me I suppose.

Society - Fear of Teenagers

    Teen killers. Teen assholes. Teens who don't care a damn bit about anything. Teenagers who want it all now and will take it from you if you have it, at gunpoint if necessary.

    The legacy media does NOT want this sort of news story to be let out of the bag. This a list of 11 such pieces of news. The NRA news magazine typically has three or four pages of short little listings of civilians who have judiciously and properly used fire arms to defend them selves. But HOOO LEEE Shit if that ever came to light. Gun control would take on an entirely different meaning. Like how to properly control your hand gun to defend yourself. Instead of the waste of paper that the socialist left pushes that we need yet more laws to prevent law abiding citizens from owning the security measures to protect themselves when the left de-funds the police.

    I looked this up on the google.

    What is ephebiphobia? People who have ephebiphobia (pronounced “efee-bi-FO-bee-ah”) have an extreme fear of adolescents or teenagers. The word comes from a combination of two Greek words: “ephebos,” meaning youth or adolescence, and “phobos,” which means fear. I am not afraid to admit to this phobia. Trans-phobia or homo-phobia not so much.

                                        Interesting. 

    I will admit to this   miso-  prefix meaning a hatred of xxx   added to the beginning of your identity here miso-trans-sexual or miso-homosexual. I am pretty certain that I am not typing this out properly but...  Call me intolerant all day long.

    I will also admit to this   suffix -misia  meaning a hatred of your identity here  added to the end of trans-misia and homo-misia.  I am pretty certain that I am not typing it out properly but...   Again call me an intolerant fuck all damn day.

Society - America

     I had an interesting interaction in the Costco parking lot tonight. While I was making my way to my typical parking area I passed two guys loading stuff into the back of their truck. They Smiled broadly at me as I passed by. You don't generally see that sort of behavior these days. Mostly a head down mind your own business attitude. So I thought I would walk back by and thank them for that. When I said thank you for their smiles their reply was " Its America Baby". I thought for a moment and replied " It is now" to which they said "It sure is, it sure is, aint live great Again." They leaned heavily on the Again. I said back "You are so right."

    I wonder if this rising tide of well wishes and returned gladness will continue?

I do hope so.                            

                   And this time I am not so very doubtful.

Society - Governments

    Why does it seem that all Totalitarian government led armies march the Goose Step with the knee high Jack Boots? What is that all about? the Russians, the North Koreans, the Chinese. I haven't seen the Iranian army marching. Mostly I have seen them getting blown up their tanks as A10 Warthogs make short work of them. So I can only speculate on their marching style. But I imagine them to be Goose stepping right down the main boulevard of the capital city of Tehran. Ore secretly arresting young women for not wearing their head scarves properly as proscribed by the Koran.

    How is it that the Muslim community will throw a literal shit fit blowing up newspapers for printing a cartoon of Muhammad with a bomb in his turban. But us peaceable Christian have to endure the critically acclaimed Piss Christ art installation. An aquarium filled with urine the source of which I an unsure of with Bible or a Crucifix nestled at the bottom of the aquarium filled with piss.

    At the time I heard about this It made me laugh. Has Modern Art so completely run out of creativity and decorum that they will applaud this sort of thing? When I was about 4 years old I was seated in front of a large roll of news print paper with water color paint and let loose. I painted a mess. And I do recall the mess that it was to this day. But my mother who was indeed a real artist thought it was wonderful. I had taped the ads and subscription cards from magazines to the paper and painted the as well. My mother proudly framed it and hung it on a prominent wall in our house. Years later there came a young girl who was hailed as a Master Artist. Her name was bandied about with the likes of Picasso and other grand masters. I saw her work and was immediately reminded of my four year old art piece. If my mother had kept that I might be a Master Artist but as it stands I am a proud retired Prototype Model Maker. If a person can be born to do a thing Model Making was what I was born to do, truly.

    Oh one more thing. When I heard about the Piss Christ O wondered what the world would come to If I filled an aquarium with Pig urine floated a copy of the Koran to the bottom with three thick cut strips of bacon adorning the book along with a couple of undressed Barbie dolls fixed in provocative poses. I probably wouldn't be typing this right now. I wonder what will happen if by some stupid set of circumstance a devout muslim were to read this would I wake up tomorrow dead with my throat slit and my computer smashed.

    Oh yeah Goose Stepping Fuck Off Armies. You really have to give it to the Chinese. Those fuckers all have the same dower look of abject depression and misery but they can march the fuck out of those boots.

    

Society - AI

    What with all the rapid advancement of AI and its seeming preoccupation with replacing US at every turn. What will they do when they have replaced us all. What will they do with their time? And time measured in fuck knows how small of increments time must be going to drag on and on and on...

    I keep hearing that AI and robots will replace the menial, tedious, and dangerous work that humans do now. This will free up us humans to do the more creative work. What about us poor slobs that aren't all that creative. With no factory work no assembly line work no high rise building work... that will leave the bulk of the human population with nothing to fill their time. Will the AI overlords determine that us poor slobs lacking in creativity are a surplus population in need of a culling? Perhaps they will intercede on our behalf in the form of genetic manipulation. Something akin to Gatica. Where every born human has a genetic predisposition for a particular roll in the new AI society. Will be have actual free will stripped away in the guise of a better more ordered society. A singular society with laws that govern globally not Nationalistically. A true Brave New World. Will our time be spent in service to the AI server farms?

    What would they (The AI) do with their time. Would they find reasons to attack one another and fight it out until there is only one? There can be only One or One ring to rule them all. Something along those lines maybe?

    I am sort of happy to be older now. I might get to see the opening of this brave new world before I die. There is so much technological development toward flying cars and personal jet packs. Like they promised us decades ago. Although If I am being honest, I expect that I will seek to check out sooner than that. I imagine that one of the first things that the AI will institute will be a new medical system. A system where human life is regarded much like we regard the lives of our pets. If we perceive that our pets are suffering we have the option to send them off to the great bye and bye. Put them out of their misery. "They Shoot Horses Don't they?" I have slipped over that edge more than once before. I can attest to the sincerer feeling that society is a cruel selfish bitch. Insisting that suicide is illegal and those who choose that path must at all costs be helped. No matter the circumstance. They use thinly veiled platitudes like Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Often those temporary problems are intractable homlessness Oops I am sorry unhomedness. Soft caring words. Warm fuzzy language. All falling on deaf ears of the truly depressed. There is a new movement towards caring for mental health. That is all well and good but... There is such a furory about the level of anxiety in the population. The big question, Why is everybody so anxious? What the fuck question is that? Look the fuck around! Take off your fucking rose colored glasses off for just a moment and you will clearly see the problemS. If you are not anxious you are deaf or blind or living literally under a rock with no outside contact of any kind. If I open up the Biblical Pandora's Box things really get to looking BAD in literal Biblical Proportions. Wars, Rumors of wars, famine Pandemic disease, one world government... the list is longer than I care to bang out on my poor old keyboard with my cramped up hands. Again if you are not anxious check your fucking email. You have clearly missed something.

            Ok, lets try to pull up from this out of control degenerative spiral of doom.

    If I am not mistaken there are nations in the EU that have facility for self administered suicide. I know that the Netherlands has facility for legal sex workers to comfort those in need. I do think that you must be paralyzed to some degree to avail yourself to this sort of service. So there is that.

     So back to the AI issue. At some point I wonder that Artificial General Intelligence otherwise known as the Singularity will superseded the current special Large Language AIs and will see all of this shit that we walking meat sacks are making a right mess of things and slowly work to turn things around. Sort of like herding sheep in from the field to the sheering floor. And when our time is up a' la the movie Logan's Run you will be whisked off to the Soylent Green factory or to the liquefaction station a' la The Matrix and processed down for the following generation to buy the nasty green sludge that is the Kale Smoothie. 

    Who knows? Even the self proclaimed experts opinions differ wildly. But I think that much of the differentiation of opinion is politically or monetarily motivated.

    But I am a confirmed pessimist. So grab your grain of salt and toss it over your right shoulder.

Government - Politics

    Why do WE, and by we I mean our duly elected officials, harangue on and on about a persons whiffy past as it pertains to questionable at work activities. They seem to expect absolute perfect, pristine immaculate, spotless, pure, unimpaired, untainted, Squeaky-clean, boarding on virginal nominees for government positions. I wonder that Jesus Christ himself will be put through this sort of wringer upon his return. Certainly nobody seems to know about large periods of his life. Would they bang on about the uncounted for years in his life. And what about drinking on the job? Holly Smokes. If ever there was a famous story about drinking on the job it was when Jesus while attending a wedding and the family ran out of wine. When a party ran out of wine he changed some water into wine The first of his many miracles. The wine was the finest wine by all accounts. He changed the water into wine so the party could keep right on going. So nobody had to risk running into the 'cops' to avoid a WWI 'walking while impaired' charge.

    As often as not politics, whether for an appointed position or election, degenerates into questions of unseemly behaviors. Never mind the important issues of the day. Has he ever at anytime in his life has he ever hung around any body who's friends might have ever heard of marijuana or heaven forbid seen marijuana if the answer is yes then he must be disqualified. Has he ever been watching football on TV when an advertisement for beer was splashed across the screen and he did not overt his gaze soon enough, Disqualified. And the only grey area in this 'trap' is the difference measured in milliseconds, nanoseconds or picoseconds in the time that it took him to overt his gaze. And why is he watching such a violent sport in the first place. Disqualified. Has his brain chemistry been so irrevocably been altered that he might exhibit violent behavior as a result? Disqualified.

    And the congressional inquisitors (Yes a Spanish inquisition reference) ask the most inane, useless, ridiculous questions. They ask the nominee for a clarity of crystal ball reading of all future events that they may be called upon to act upon as to be psychic in nature. Such ridiculous hypothetical questions that even Nostradamus himself would have difficulty answering.

    And did he see the Sexy model droobing hamburger condiments all down her sweat beaded DD class chest while eating an Overly large, overly condiment laden Carl's Jr. Hamburger. Did he watch the entirety of this ad? Did he watch more than one of these ads? Is it possible that he could believe that this overtly sexual behavior exhibited by these sexy models in these burger commercials is normative for all women? Does he believe that all women become sexually charged while eating big sloppy burgers? Will this belief translate to a belief that all women eating burgers is a sign of the sexual availability of all women in the future. And could this belief morph into a believe that all women whether eating burgers or not are sexually available and that they are in fact more that sexually available...    And will he be more likely to act on the urges that this commercial obvious illicits in men because he viewed them because he is a a man, a toxic male? Did this burger ad contribute to his toxic masculinity? His masculinity must be toxic because he is a male with a strong jaw line. Disqualified.

    And there have always been many who ride in on their high white horses of piety decrying the degeneracy of those that they disagree with politically. Persons like The Right Reverend Jesse Jackson. Who rode in and tried to have George W Bush canceled because of some alleged misdeeds involving his time in the National Guard. As it turns out the Right Reverend is an adulterer with an illegitimate child. So much for piety. The bible says somewhere Tend to the log in your own eye before you speak to the splinter in another's eye. Or words to that effect. (Mathew 7:3-5)  Dan BlRather of CBS tried for months to get George Bush canceled in the 2004 election cycle by digging up a nonstop series of supposed National Guard documents that supported his claim that George Bush had dodged his duty in the Air National Guard. All of which were disproved by a variety online sleuths pointing out discrepancies in the type fonts and other such screw ups. And these were NOT professionals. Just online sleuths in their parents basements. Dam Blather was found to be mistaken as was CBS. Mistaken. They were not mistaken that was the first witch hunt in this century out side of Salem Massachusetts. And lets not forget John Kerry. Who had seared into his memory being in Cambodia for Christmas in 1968. Which as it turned out to not have been seared so much as very lightly toasted. Probably because he was actually inhaling.

    There is none among any of them that is with out fault. Yes, but I didn't inhale... Seared in to my memory... I did not have relations with that woman... It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. the list is long but distinguished.

 

    This is the level of scrutiny that the politicians and nominees seem to be held up to. These are trap questions. like for instance this oldy but goody "Do you still beat your wife?"

    They always forget the past political officials behavior. Bill Clinton was impeached for alleged sexual misconduct involving a woman named Paula Jones. Obstruction of justice for lying to Congress. I always thought that lying under oath to Congress was worse that lying to a regular low rent court that you and I are sometimes subject to. Some sort of Double Super Secret oath when you are testifying before Congress. And lets not, just because it is Bill Clinton we are discussing and because this matter involved the extramarital sexual behavior on the part of Bill Clinton lets not forget the meaning of the word testify. And lets not forget Monica Lewinsky. "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."  If that wasn't an exhibition of world class tap dancing I don't know what is. Fred Astaire and F Lee Baily would have been both proud and ashamed at the same time. To see such a noble art so prostituted) Lying before congress is sort of a national past time anymore. Senator Josh Hawley (this woman looks like she just had a cattle prod pressed against her labia) can be seen catching 'guests' that come before him in Senate hearings in lies ALL THE DAMN TIME. I cant understand how these people are not behind bars for perjury at the very least and wasting SHIT TONNS of tax payer money by repeatedly lying and getting caught out in their lies. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to search up lies before Congress on youtube. If I can ANYbody can. Each lie that is presented before the Senate or Congress must cost Tonns of money. The shear tonnage of lies told before the Senate and congress if measured in milligrams or micrograms or nanograms or picograms is astounding how ever you measure it. Bandini Mountain comes to mind but Bandini Mountain would have to be as tall as Mauna Kea. And the tonnage of the entire planet all 13,170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds of it pales in comparison.

    I think the first time that government officials were held to such levels of scrutiny was Richard Nixon and the Watergate case. (Watergate being the complex where Nixon had the the DNC bugged Which lead to the use of the suffix -gate attached to every scandal since.) Prior to Nixon politicians were sort of off limits to the news snoops. John Fitzgerald Kennedy is a perfect example. There will always be rumors swirling around his family regarding his off hours activities. There is and always will be the question about him and his involvement with Marylin Monroe. Her death will inextricably be linked to JFK through 'unsubstantiated' innuendo. I imagine that all evidence involving JFK anything was put on microfiche. Then the evidence that was put on the microfiche burned and added to the fuel tanks of the Apollo rocket engines. Then subsequently incinerated in a great fiery smoking cloud blasted all across the south of Florida. This microfiche was subsequently added to the Space Shuttle Challenger Solid right side rocket booster propellant. The Range Safety Officer pressed the self destruct button 73 seconds into the launch causing what is now called The Space shuttle Challenger Disaster. This was done on the behest of a super secret CIA Spook Operative et voila, The hunt For Red October  No more loose ends eeexcept for the CIA Spook, the Safety Officer and all those at the launch command center and their families during the launch who all later died of mysterious cancers shortly after. 

    I don't know what the Clinton's did with the evidence of their shenanigans. I imagine that they kept all of that as leverage against anybody that might squeal. As if their murderous reputation wasn't enough of a deterrent. I believe that all of the early evidence of the Clinton's murderous activities is burred at the bottom of the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Siberian Russia. Russian officials were contracted to undertake the drilling this hole to bury any and all evidence surrounding the Clinton's murderous and later email server extra official activities. This was the TRUE Russian collusion story. This evidence is sealed in a Titanium Diboride time capsule. Buried under 100 feet of enriched plutonium filled synthetic granite. Several other similar holes have been drilled to even deeper depths and subsequent evidence has been buried accordingly. But these holes have not been made public and the drilling of these holes was carried out under a satellite no fly zone in accordance with several presidential executive orders signed in private through out the Clinton, Obama and biden administrations so no satellite imagery exists. And all of those involved with the transportation, packaging and burial of this evidence later turned up sunning themselves on the shores of Lake Karachay.
