My Stuff - Hope

     It is said that religion is the opiate of the masses or something like that. It seems that Carl Marx wrote this. What better man to run down hope. Its odd to me that in the second Deadpool movie while Deadpool is wheeling around Thee House in Thee Chair you can see a very large portrait of Carl Marx. If I read it right at or about 2 minutes and 30 seconds you can see this portrait

But I believe that when you synthesize religion, any religion they all are rooted in hope. Hope for peace, Hope for the future, and as a side job hope for the afterlife in whatever form that might be.

    I said that to say this, for myself obviously, I have lost all form of hope. I have no hope for the future. I do not expect anything miraculous to occur in my life. I dont expect my place in this world to change at all. And that, I have to say, is not a pleasant thought. I have no family. All of the family that I did have is gone in every sense of the word. My daughter is mentioned below. But for reasons that she nor any of the family will reveal to me she preformed a father-ectomy. So I do not have a daughter.

    I have no hope for the world. President Donald J Trump is an anomaly. It is amazing that he still lives it is amazing that he managed to get elected. But he is tasked with "draining a swamp" that has existed for decades. This swamp is full of Old school deeply corrupted individuals in very well entrenched positions of power. These individuals will not be handing over their power simply because it is the will of the people. Nothing could be further from the truth. President Donald J Trump has just three years to rip out the old corrupt rotting power structure and those who hold the reins. Senators and congressmen are frightened and when you are fight a wild animal that is frightened they do the most crazy things. You can see the crazy in virtually every thing that these individuals do and say. They stand for the most ludicrous things. Things that the majority of "We The People" disagree with. The whole trans thing is a nightmare. The fact that senators and congressmen are fighting to allow boys, young men, and men into woman's spaces. Nothing and nobody could make me see the rightness in that. Jesus Christ him self could not convince me that the Trans "movement" is anything short of insane. Trans in sports, trans in the military, trans in government, trans on Children! Virtually every other nation in the west has figured out, by experimenting on an entire generation of children, that transitioning children worsens the outcome they sought to help. If you are old enough to remember Thalidomide you might see how this level of experimentation is something dreamed up by Dr. Joseph Mengele. Unspeakable horrors. And that level of madness is being practiced openly and applauded and being subsidized with our tax dollars.

    Just finding out who the rotters are is not enough in my mind. And in all of the prophylactic pardons biden passed out like candy on Halloween just before he melted into total mental and political senile decrepitude should not stand in the way of prostituting all of the fucks on the Left. I dislike using the word, label 'the left' but that is what it is. The Left. I do not know from whence that label 'left' came from and perhaps that is what bothers me. Perhaps if I knew I would be less reluctant to use it. Anyway, All of the leftist agenda pushing political animals need to be rounded up and prosecuted for their crimes against the tax payers and the world for that matter, because the left has been hard at work prosecuting totally unnecessary wars all over the globe. All of the wasted and misappropriated funds need to be gathered back up and applied to the national deficit to begin to offset the Astronomical debt that the Left has spent the country into near bankruptcy. I say that I hope that this can be done. (Task 1) Finding them, (Task 2) gathering sufficient evidence. (Task 3) Bringing these nardowells before a judge. (Task 4) fighting these nardowells in court, against what is certain to be a veritable impregnable citadel fortress of lawyers, attorneys, judges, and every other wall that can be thrown up to keep these criminals out of prison. (Task 5) And being certain that the prisons that those that "We the People" manage to convict are not Club Feds. (Task 6) Slamming shut the loopholes in the law and opening up the eyes of those that were supposed to be watching for this level of corruption in the first place. Like I said three years. I hope that the DOGE kids can find it all. I hope that they can run it all down with a fine tooth comb and with translucency. Transparency that the DOGE team can hold up unashamedly so that NoBody can fight the findings. No sane body can fight the findings. It seems that many of the left's loudest mouths are fighting the findings right now, but I did say sane. So there is that.

                                    But I digress

    I guess to the main point of this essay is that I have no hope that President Donald J Trump can reverse this madness. There is just too much crazy corrupt rot in the system to get done in three years. I say three years because in the last year of a one term president you really can get nothing done. I assume three years but I doubt that he has that much time. I see that the opposition is still as stuck and bound to its same old agenda which is counter to commonsense. President Donald J Trump was elected on a commonsense platform. But just like the aftermath of the 9/11 cataclysm Everybody, practically, was galvanized in a single force. Then in about two weeks things started to fracture. The 24 hour news cycle moved on to far less important issues but the clever writers puffed up every news story as if it was the end of the world. And life had a new normal. The desensitization had begun. I see this on the youtube all the time. I watch the reaction videos to movies. The reactors watch with giddy glee as John Wick off people with a "PenSil". But when you bludgeon the puppy OH BOY. Shit hits the fan on all four blades. The same goes for any animal in a film that comes to harm. One of my all time favorite TV Shows "Firefly" (I cant recommend this highly enough) there is a scene where Our Hero shoots a horse out from under an enemy. Every reactor freaks right the F out. Another thing that causes me befuddlement is the phenomenon that people as far away from Colonial America in both time and distance become apoplectic in the scene where Gunnery Sargent Hartman give the induction speech where he says that there is no racial discrimination in his beloved Corp. Gunnery Sargent Hartman goes on to rattle of a list of racial slurs. No Body Bats an eye until he hits N¡@@€R. Then Every body Gasps in Abject Horror. They are equally aghast at the at the Fried Chicken and Watermelon revelation.      (As a silly side note My father was a Drill instructor in the Marine Corps. My father really hated it when the kids in the neighborhood would all get out and be playing Army. He Insisted that I was a Marine, a Jar head and a Leatherneck not a common army Joe. My father mastered his Marine Corps mentality he attributed it to being a professional and he never brought it home. Except for one occasion. I grew up with that language and found it humorous. As it was intended that way by my father when it involved me. So when I had a daughter I used many of those foul mouthed put downs humorously. That sort of language is frowned upon on the fifth grade play ground. I found out.)

                                    But I digress. again

    I suppose the loss of hope can also be attributed to the fact that President Donald J Trump had not just pulled back the curtain on the corruption he has ripped all the way down. The opposition is clearly frantic to obfuscate and spin and rationalize how we should be paying Social Security payment so individuals that are 160 years old or that can be proven to be deceased. They want to keep the slush funds slushy and the trans operations available to kids in Iran or Guatemala or where ever...

    You can see it already happening in President Donald J Trump's work. The opposition still controls the legacy media ABC, CBS, NBC et al are still grinding away sewing seeds of descent in the population. Ultimately I fear that they will "Overcome". With their silly antics and childish behavior. It befuddles me that they are allowed to continue to get away with this behavior. I always thought elected officials were held to a "Higher and Grander Standard of Principal" (Mark Twain) "I hope it but I doubt it" (Mark Twain again) On the Decade of the Art if Lying     Lies and Slavery. I prefer the second rendition of the essay by Mr. Hal Holbrook. I prefer Mr. Holbrook's rendition as I have said because I find his voice is more likely to be on par of Mr. Mark Twain. I do say that Mr. Holbrook does take a bit of artistic license with the actual essay's. verbiage but I find that it settles better with me.

    So as I say I have lost hope in the world and I currently believe that President Donald J Trump is at the helm of a storm battered America which is tenuously at the head of the western world. 

    So in summation I have lost hope in family, the government and the world.

My Stuff - Observations - Time

     When you are young you live for the future, drivers license, drinking.

When you are old you live in the past. And what do you find in the past you might ask, Regret. Big old steaming piles of Regret. Every missed opportunity every opportunity passed over, every gift rejected every choice made. There is a such a thing as The paradox of choice and the Cost of opportunity.

    I think that as a corollary this is also true. If you are planning a luncheon meeting and want to provide lunch for ten people and leave the choice of the lunch meal up to the invitees you will get ten different choices submitted in the rsvp,s. That presents a big problem especially with the wide variety of food allergies and preferences today unless you have a tremendously skilled and outfitted kitchen to hand. The thing to do to counter this conundrum is to limit the choice of the meal by stating the meal to be served or offering a select choice of meal, in many situations like this in a casual setting a choice of meat and non-meat pizza. Those with bread or any of the ingredients in bread allergies will have an issue and then there the holler-than-tho vegans who will take issue with everything and anything including the very air being breathed in your luncheon environment the seat covers; leather or cloth or even plastic, the tables ethically and sustainably sourced materials made by people making a living wage in countries that have good human rights practices. There is a never ending list of things to rail against and along with that ever growing list of things to rail against there exists the higher and higher likelihood that you will invite one of those individuals to your luncheon. If there exists a choice there exists a person that will make that choice unbearable.

                                          but I digress.

    Regret. At this moment I can think of nothing more insidious than the omnipresence of regret. Regret for choices made and regret for the missed opportunity for having made the choice the way you did.

    I have found a simple way to avoid this every increasing din and cacophony of missed and pissed away opportunity is to involve yourself with hobbies and other things to occupy your time.

    I think that perhaps the new generation zed or alpha or what ever we are at by now by the addiction to the interwed has found this out as well. Keep yourself entertained at all times at all costs. Keep your ears full of music or audio-book or pod-cast. Keep your eyes in front a screen, large or small portable or fixed flat or curved. We used to be fixated on getting flat screens then we got flat screens now we are fixated on curved screens again but concave instead of the convex curvature of the CRT screen of old. Now there are screens that are flexible and can curve to an arc of your choosing. There is the big giant video globe in Vegas. I an absolutely certain that the Chinese will build a bigger one with finer resolution very soon. And this globe has it all; convex on the outside and concave on the inside. Everybody wins.

                                       but I digress

    But as with anything contrived by man these things can be taken to extremes and that is where the trouble begins. First we had beer then wine but that wasn't mind altering enough. Then we discovered the science of distillation and presto we have spirits, booze. (I dont mention the other mind altering naturally occurring plants and fungus and the things that are out there that I dont know about because that is a topic for another time. There is thought that the Manna from Heaven (food of the gods) may have been of this mind altering variety of mushroom or 'shroom which allowed thew Hebrew people to See God)

                                       but I digress

    But we aren't even happy enough with 80 proof we pushed that to the 151 rum and to the 190 proof of Everclear or Moonshine. I don't know too very much about backwoods distilled moonshine but the "legitimate" moonshine that you can buy is a much watered down 128 proof. There was "back in the day" a medical condition called 'Jake leg' caused by the consumption of outrageously overly distilled moonshine. Kids become consumed by their addiction just like any other addiction that addiction will turn on you in dark ways if you are not careful. The rate of suicide among young girls who chase the peer approval online is horrible. There are warnings on cigarettes and booze and just about everything now-a-days but many things don't have warnings. There is a country song lamenting the lack of Warning Labels on sad country songs. 

    Regret is a cruel and bitter bitch. She is everywhere. She haunts your every non-occupied moment. And you arent even safe if you are busy with some hobby or craft work she creeps in. She is insidious. She can paralyze you with FOMO. She can push you into things you aught not be involved in. She can keep you from things that you aught be involved in. As I said at the outset of this essay the paradox of choice and the cost of opportunity are everywhere. I guess that is the hope of age and experience and knowing yourself. knowing yourself enough to help you through these choices. Know thyself. I hope this helps someone.

                                I hope it but I doubt it

                                     Have a fun day.

 

 

 

Society - Cosmeditcs

     I have restarted working on writing a story / book that I started years ago. One of the characters is a woman vampire. (Yeah I know) but as a quicky search for a thing about vampires I stumbled across something that I have NEVER heard of, a Vampire Breast Lift. Of course I had to know what the hell that is. The never ending quest for ever more powerful / beautiful breasts is astounding.

Government - Crisis indoctrination

    The other day I heard that there is a Measles outbreak in Texas. In the story there was call for more comprehensive immunization in the schools. The very next thing I heard on my car radio was an advertisement for catching up on your immunizations / vaccinations. My initial reaction was a look back to the COVID debacle as handled by biden and the whole dnc machine. Vaccine mandates, firings of those who rejected the vaccine. Mandates for members of the Military to be vaccinated or fired. I imagine with a dishonorable discharge or at best with a medical discharge. less than 100% of retirement. Early termination for thousands.

    That sort of thing smells to high heaven of making a mountain out of a molehill sort of thing. Do NOT get me wrong I do recall the thousands that did die from the COVID virus. I do not mean to trivialize their deaths or the suffering of their families or anything like that, Not At ALL. But I do intend to make this argument; when a government such as the government led by who ever was propping up biden, wants to gather yet more power to themselves they will create an artificial crisis to motivate the populace in the direction that the government wants the populace to be moved. COVID as it happens was in fact a manufactured crisis, literally manufactured. Manufactured in a Chinese virology laboratory funded by the whole biden crew behind the USAID money sink/black hole. I doubt that the "leak" was an accident. I believe it was a test. Sort of like the  Trinity  pre-Hiroshima test. The guys at the trinity site must have thought this will really go BOOM. I used to make my own fire-crackers. I would make the next one bigger than the last and wait and watch is it would blow something up. Some times it was not so exciting. But Sometimes it was VERY EXCITING. I have to imagine that the engineers were looking at a bunch of numbers on actual black-boards and really couldn't imagine what 20,000 tons of TNT would look like. Some of them had to be thinking to themselves "WOW That really went BANG" with at least a little glee. But in the immortal words of J. Robert Oppenheimer: “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds".

    You don't have to look to far into science fiction to see such scenarios. There is a genre specific to this very thing. I just did a google of that genre, I was amazed by the number. I thought there might be 10 or 15 wow was I wrong. I stopped counting at 27 (136). I guess this could be chalked up to life imitating art. The biden group (I call it the biden group because truly biden himself was not in control of his bowels, himself, let alone the country) took a page from any number of movies probably three or so dropped them in a blender and presto e` chango a global catastrophe. A Pandemic of global proportions, biblical proportions. The death toll was certainly frightening and certainly sufficient to motivate huge groups of the population. It also presented the pharmaceutical industry an opportunity not unlike an opportunity here to fore only afforded the 'Military Industrial Complex'. A name given the unholy alliance between government and arms manufacturers by Dwight D Eisenhower. A dire warning that we managed to ignore wholesale. Our government gets involved in wars and terrifies the populace about this war and the arms manufacturers step up to the plate and create ever more efficient ways to dispatch the enemy. An enemy, any enemy, which ever population the government thinks it can "legitimately" claim to be death worthy. They gin up a reason, any reason and its off to the races, arms races that is. In times gone by it was principally ideological enemies typically Capitalism vs. Communism. But of late that has morphed into religious enemies as with the 9-11 ignition of over a decade of conflict in the middle east. That still rages as of this writing and I expect will rage well after my demise. All it takes a focal point, an inflection point, a source of ignition. 9-11 was such a source of ignition. The Viet Nam and Korean conflicts were started over much less catastrophic events. World War I was started over the assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinand. World War II was caused by good ol' drunken uncle Adolf tripped and fell across the Polish boarder. And with most drunken uncles he just kept tripping over one boarder after another. Some of his drunken friends in the far East (Japan by name) and those in the south of Europe (Italy by name) joined in in that global conga line of death and destruction.

    Anyway then it was the pharmaceutical industrial complex to the rescue. They managed to whip up a vaccine for this COVID thing in months and the governmental side of the equation ginned up all manner of mandates to combat their self made catastrophe. They only just recently figured out the beginnings of a "TREATMENT" for AIDS, Decades later. Only, unlike a military conflict which has a beginning a middle and an end Viral catastrophes are a bit more slippery. The COVID virus managed to mutate unlike artillery shells which can be packed away after they are no longer needed (But they will always be needed if governments or religions have anything to say about things.) The Pfizer people and assorted other pharmaceutical groups had a fun new toy that they were just itching to play with, the CRISPER thing. Gene splicing and manipulation. The problem is that with nature things are a little (LOT) more slippery than artillery shells. We all got a taste of that in the movie series Jurassic Park, Ian Malcolm, Life will find a way, nature will out just like the truth. They have let that Genie or Jinn out of the bottle now. And that is just one more fun thing that the pharmeasutical group has to work against. And its not like we don't already have lots fun little microbes ravaging our population. There are already lots incurable diseases. None of them needed any help at killing people. And the pharmaceutical industrial complex is not trying to cure anything. A cure kills the the virus just like it kills the revenue stream unlike a treatment which perpetuates it. And that is the bottom line perpetual revenue stream. That is the difference between the military industrial complex and the pharmeasutical or medical industrial complex. Wars can be stopped (sort of) virus' will always mutate and spread and there will always be a need for new and more aggressive medicine to "TREAT" the sick.

    I hope against all hope that Robert F Kennedy the new leader of Department of Health can or will really figure this out for real unlike that other guy Fauchi who just took the money and the prophylactic presidential pardon and walked away. (Maybe)

    I do believe that the pharmacy people had a little back room sit down with a bunch of senators and said, You know what would be fun and of course profitable... you did it for Raytheon...  Senators buy up lots of stock in Pfizer et al and they contract with some fuck off virology lab in China, because the Chinese made products are have such a good reputation for such high quality, to concoct some new and wizzy virus and arrange for it to be set loose "accidentally"...   I know that sounds like a conspiracy but in the immortal words of Allan 'Hippy' Carnes "Every thing is". They Abyss Quote #4

    There is interesting news on the horizon from the AI folks. They are using AI and algorithms to model and create new twisted up proteins. I saw a thing this evening where Microsoft has potentially figured out a way to create a quantum computer on a chip. Of Course there is a SHIT Ton of others in the works. [Oh Joy] It sort of used to be a saying that there is always somebody younger, faster, smarter coming up behind you so stay sharp and stay relevant. Well it is starting to feel like the younger faster smarter coming up behind us will be on a chip in a vacuum bottle chilled to near zero. Not just zero, but real zero, absolute zero, Kelvin zero. Like don't touch your lips to that can of beer, ZERO ZERO. And the proposed uses for quantum computers is chemistry. Chemistry of medicine, chemistry of materials, chemistry of chemistry.

    I saw a video where a computer scientist was dicking around with his AI at work. He and his buddies thought it would be a hoot to dick with an algorithm to create the Most deadly chemical. All he had to do in the set up of the algorithm was to switch a 0 to a 1, as you do with algorithms. He fired it off and went home for the weekend. He wasn't even using one of the big deal wizzy super computers. When he returned on Monday He was shocked and Mortified to find a brand spanking new double over extra super toxic chemical formula just waiting to be mixed up. By comparison it was was orders of magnitude more toxic than the VX nerve agent. VX (meaning VENOMOUS agent X) is considered to be quite literally number two on the list of most toxic chemicals. Just after something called Novichok. Something whipped up by the Soviets and you know what they say about the Russians, they always want to be the first, and the best or the worst in this instance. First with the worst as the saying goes. (Shit, it turns out First with the Worst is a fucking card game. Who knew?) As I was reading up on this stuff I was gripped by gooseflesh and significant chills. The list of countries in possession of VX is very chilling indeed. Some not so stable guys around the world have massive stockpiles of the stuff.

Society - Celebrities - Awards Shows

     So I finally forced myself into watching an award show. I watched the SAG awards show. I was hoping for better I do like Kristen Bell. I was disappointed. Not by Ms. Bell so much but the leakage of political punditry. I really hoped that the leakage would have been stopped. Jamie Lee Curtis disappointed but only a little, well I was expecting much worse so there was that. But I was not expecting the absolute gushing leakage torrential flood that was Jane Fonda. I was surprised by that. She went on and on and on about the woe that was coming for us all. I guess I am fortunate that I didn't remember any of it save the over all message that she spewed that we, all the poor uneducated troglodytes who voted for President Donald J Trump called down upon the Entire World. I don't know if she banged on about the LGBTQ-crew and all that is meant by that but I am sure that she did. I must admit that I did fast-forward that after the first two minutes of her grabbing up of a supplied microphone to allow her to spew her vitriol as far as possible. Fortunate for us that was her Life Time Achievement award so we wont have to be forced to endure that  behind that award again well on the SAG awards anyway. I will say that here life time body of work was a good one. Cant take that from from her. 

    On a separate note there were some pretty crazy fashion choices. Three of which were memorable to me. Monica Barbaro was in my mind the winner of the deepest plummeting 'neckline'. Bright Red and exposing a great view of her still firm breasts. It will never be adequately explained to me why on nights like this celebrity women will put their breasts all out for public consumption on TV for all to witness. But on any other morning noon or night these same celebrity women will take you to court for ogling those same breasts that were on display for all to see. I have to wonder why that is.

    One final note why does the phrase "This means the World to me" get dropped so often on award shows. The same phase is dropped on Insert Name of Country here's got talent or American Idolatry. If these people are so talented can't they be more creative.
