CITIZEN’S BEWILDERMENT

I just don’t get it. I try to be a critical thinker. If I don’t understand something or I’m skeptical/suspicious at all I step back, try seeing the big picture; What some refer to as  the view from 40,000ft. I’ve been hovering round for almost 4yrs now and continue to see a thick fog of confusion/denial lingering over the land like a noxious miasma, straining perceptions, clouding senses. Words like befuddle,...

REAL HISTORY & CLOWN SHOW CRASH COURSE

Not a flesh and blood circus with exotic sights and sounds, but a clown show playing devious sleight of hand/trickery since 11/3/20. Attendance has been stupendous, measuring hundreds of millions. It’s broken every record, beating Taylor Swift, Beatles, even Elvis! Literally half the country is unable to escape from its devious strategizing, hypno-psyopic grip while the other half are wary but never-the-less captive in its...

AMERICA’S ICON BALD EAGLE OR PHOENIX

America is at war I believe since JFK’s assassination. We’ve been under attack for 34yrs since G. Bush Sr said – New World Order; since Obama’s declaration about transforming America and quipping Pennsylvanians only cared about religion, guns and xenophobia; since Hillary with her basket of deplorables referencing Republicans, conservatives, patriots; since peaceful demonstrators(?) burning down cities; since...

This was the daily...

MELTING POT FOR DUMMIES!

What is the essence of America? How does one define it in such a way it’s clearly distinguishable from other democracies, republics and so on? One approach might be describing it as a work-in-progress, trying to live up to the ideals and concepts in its founding documents; all created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights which include life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Recall how pilgrims came here seeking...

FAKE NEWS, TREASONOUS GOVERNMENT FORSAKEN COUNTRY ...

We’ve come to live in an age when everything is suspect, nothing can stand on its own without cross-checking, fact-finding, researching, etc. Where we once had fairly reliable sources (so we thought!) there is now noise, chaos and party-line. Media has become so skillful in putting out their message/agenda that even with a massive effort which btw most of us are not willing to do we’re still hard pressed to discredit...
