Sustained

Greetings good citizen, It seems we survived [or perhaps persist is a better word.] As I have peached lo' these past twenty years, nothing will change until the system changes.  

Don't listen to the pundits, they pretend all is right with the world and maybe it is in the stratified, cut-throat land they dwell in. They don't give a fuck about you or your world. You can go twist in the wind.

But I preacheth to the choir. 

[REWIND]

Nothing will change until the system changes...

What is it about 'the system' that needs to be changed?

[STOP]

It's not a topic for debate, almost none of you have thought it through  [because you prefer to let others think for you. A necessary but dangerous trait.]

What's wrong with the system?

It's UNSUSTAINABLE!

And as long as 'the agenda' remains beyond your reach it can't be fixed.

Climate change is literally spanking us silly and only now had it made its way onto the political stage.

Is climate change the crux of the problem?

No! It's Capitalism!

Do the math, ONE planet, that needs to be shared by an exponentially growing population [hint: unchecked population growth is the primary obstacle facing mankind's future on this planet.

What is being done about it?

We have a Supreme court outlawing the abortion of UNWANTED PREGNANCIES!

Cray-Cray, right?

It's also a pipe dream to think we're going to stop people from scratching their itch every chance they get...so what's the answer?

Mass sterilization with the harvesting and storage of sperm & ovum for future use by people qualified to raise children.

Stupid is the belief in dumb things. It is beyond dumb to believe anyone capable of creating a life is also competent to raise that life. [The 'law of the jungle' culled the 'unwary' but civilization has negated the beneficial effects of what Darwin termed natural selection.]

IF we don't get a handle on the population and the criminals running it for fun and profit mankind will go extinct.

Nature doesn't play dice. We have survived this long by controlling our environment. Once stupid is given the upper hand the situation will quickly spiral out of control and extinction will be inevitable, [isn't that right Q?]

No one can deny we are neck-deep in stupid and that has been made worse by fantastical thinking with zero logic behind it.

It is NOT POSSIBLE to 'elect' competence. A leader must have VISION and the ability to demonstrate that vision and its viability. A leader recognizes what needs to be done AND knows how to do it.

We don't need 'lawmakers' we need leaders who can be held accountable for their actions.

That isn't going to happen as long as the feckless can shrug and point at their ideological opponents and claim it's their fault.

Your children's future hangs in the balance...

Thanks once again for letting me inside your head.

Meaning

 Greetings good citizen, What is 'the meaning of life?' Ask a thousand different people and receive a few dozen different answers. Who answers this question for us? Unfortunately, EVERYBODY has an opinion and some of us are adamant that ours is the 'right' one! Let's start with the most common answer, shall we?

 Most of us don't know nor do we care. This is sort of a blanket phenomenon we use to get through this crazy, mixed-up existence...an existence most of us are acutely aware could terminate before our next eyeblink and we'd be none the wiser. We wouldn't be any closer to knowing why we were here nevermind why we were snatched away...

Somehow, this does NOTHING to put the meaning of life into perspective. A wise old friend was fond of repeating "Life is neither good nor bad, life just is." While this is a 'statement of fact', it is neither an explanation nor a philosophy.

Still, something in human nature strives to attach 'meaning' to something that simply 'is' So we all wander aimlessly through this life 'handling' whatever opportunity presents itself to us, while rationalizing that our actions are rooted in 'good' (regardless of how twisted our logic/motives.)

As the planet becomes more crowded nobody [in the punditsphere] is sparing any attention for the unbridled urge to scratch the itch, a subject that should be front and center on every sentient creatures' mind.

We have become 'the fruit flies in the jar'.

Will the 'sentient fruitflies' succeed in escaping their prison before they deplete their finite resources?

Right now, the short answer is NO. Besides the hair-brained idea of migrating to the desert known as Mars, nobody is doing anything to reverse the strip-mining/plunder of our current home or checking our out-of-control population.

This brings us full circle to the interests of the few outweighing the survival of the many [and why we MUST STOP following the meat puppets elected by the self-serving!]

{THINK YOU elect anybody for anything? WHO funds both parties? (or are you hopelessly stupid?)}

Democracy is anything but, just as justice and equality are non-existent.

The LAW belongs to us ALL and is not the private domain of the self-serving/interested. We will NOT survive as a species so long as we ignore our mutual 'conditions of survival' in exchange for modest, inconsequential gains in the here and now. [These pithy economic buy offs should disturb you much more than they do.]

What busts my stones is how most of you are incapable of grasping the significance of my arguments, and still you consider yourself 'sentient' because that's what separates us from the animals.

How f'n dumb are you...rhetorical question because you know you are powerless but still you hold out 'hope' that those raping this planet will 'somehow ' manage to pull off a 'save' despite themselves'.

Your (collective) REFUSAL to think condemns our species to history's dumpster as yet another failed experiment.

In this, I reprise the role of Chicken Little/Cassandra.

So I repeat, life is neither 'good' nor 'bad', life simply 'is'.

Follow me if you want (your children) to live...

Self

 Greetings good citizen, it is seldom acknowledged but no less obvious/significant that we all live in the world of 'I'. From your earliest instruction, you have been taught that you need to look out for 'number one', a job that was your responsibility alone.

The problem isn't necessarily obvious until it beats you at every turn.

YOU are NOT 'alone'.

Worse, your (continued) survival relies on your 'making yourself useful' to those who control life's resources.

What does this 'breed'?

Mercenaries [and a shit-ton of 'quibbling' over what constitutes 'mercenary behavior'.]

What does this promulgate? Enter Spirit in the Sky and its self-professed 'chosen'.

The other huge factor pinning you down is your worn out bullshit meter.

NOTHING you've been taught is the unvarnished truth, everything came with a caveat, (and in many cases that caveat is 'because I said so...')

You have a head filled with nonsense [pretty much from birth] and no lodestone to let you sort for relevance or importance. Worse, your guiding principles are constantly being challenged or wiped out depending on someone who is equally as clueless estimate of your emotional maturity.

Ever wonder why the penalty for treason is death? First you have to understand what 'treason' is. You have been taught [by the idiots in charge] that treason is betrayal but treason goes deeper than that. Treason is lying/untruthfulness.

This is why the words 'lying traitor' fit so neatly together. Can you pull your head back from the page a few inches so we can take a look at how we went from not being alone to being lied to by the opportunistic mimics that surround you?

Nothing is more fragile than the truth [because it is seen/interpreted through so many diverse 'lenses'...and the only one that matters is YOURS (see the 'problem' Mr/Ms Not Alone?)

Only slightly sturdier than the truth is society, which strives to meld 'truthiness' into a workable compromise. It usually fails at this right out of the box but the imperative to survive keeps the flaps tucked in, everything else is 'damage control', regardless of how insane.

[STOP!]

I don't pen these for the stupid who believe dumb things. EVERY age believes the wheels are about to come flying off BECAUSE the lies eventually start to 'unravel'.

The Original Interpretation of Treason was OPENLY challenging the 'prevailing lie'. Everybody grumbles about the obvious inconsistencies inherent in 'truthiness', which is why the self preservation crowd, who is actually more interested in avoiding accountability than in the health of the society they have deceived, has taken to questioning your understanding of truth [it's ALL 'Fake News'.]  

How do you regain the ability to sort the facts from the (prevailing) bullshit?

It only takes a 'kernal' of truth. [Problem is 'which one'?]

Pick the wrong 'starting point' and you wind up right where you are now, with an impossibly high stack of lies that are all only 'relatively' true.

What is 'true'?

One planet which relies on ALL of it's lifeforms to function in harmony. Alone our species will perish and no individual regardless of the lies they are fed, can survive by themselves or succeed on their own.

To date mankind has failed to acknowledge that their 'superiority' is vanity when held up in the light of creation and that creation is not 'divine' but NATURAL.

Treason is twisting the facts to gain a personal advantage, which flies in the face of the FACT 'we are NOT alone'.

Leadership isn't something to be 'voted' on and never has been. Leadership relies on understanding and if the individual chosen to lead can't see beyond the tip of their own nose then woe be unto those who choose to follow.

Future leadership must be based on SUSTAINABILITY, of society and the PLANET. Nothing will survive the endless rape by the self-serving. Only those who can devise workable, holistic plans for society can be trusted to lead.

I said in these pages after Bernie was sent packing for the 2nd time that Joe Biden was an 'empty suit' and not a dozen days into his presidency it's looking like the hundred million that DIDN'T VOTE had the right idea.

This is what comes from a system where the same people finance both sides and give the orders to the winners.

Don't let the unaccountable ressurect Royalty [and it's defacto exemption from accountability (due to their alleged 'divinity'.)] get away with murdering our species on this planet [too.]

The SLAVER playbook doesn't hold the answer to a SUSTAINABLE future.

Thanks once again for letting me inside your head,
