God's Greatest Gifts

 God provided two elegant and magnificent gifts to mankind. These gifts were meant to lift mankind   from fighting in the dirt into gracious beings worthy of His creation.

These two gifts are LOVE and MUSIC.

Sailing, Life's Metaphor

 

I invite you to look at the above picture I created as a metaphor for life's journey. It's probably known by most people that have never driven a sailboat, that even if the wind and wave oppose where you want to go, if you are astute enough, you can set your sails to the opposing wind and wave and use the unstoppable opposing forces to go where you want to go, instead of letting the wind and wave dictate where you will go in reality.

Now look at the picture with a new insight as a metaphor for your personal life's journey. The sea is the reality that your personal life (sailboat) must navigate upon during your life and times. The winds and waves of your sea of reality are the unstoppable reality forces that will blow and roll to wherever they will go, be they friendly, neutral, or unfriendly. However, if you are astute enough, you can set your personal life sails (personal decisions and actions) in such a way to harness the unstoppable forces to go where you want to go, instead of letting the unstoppable life forces in reality dictate where you will go.

Hense the caption I wrote at the bottom of the picture, to wit:

So set your sail to wind and wave, To mount the unstoppable forces,

And ride your splendid advantage, To wherever your purpose advances.

Climate Change

Claim: Man caused Climate Change is responsible for current Hurricanes, Storm intensity, Tornadoes, etc.

Fact: If mankind did not populate Planet Earth; Hurricanes, varying storm intensities, Tornadoes, etc., would continue to occur on Planet Earth.

CRISIS

 Crisis is the mother's milk of Tyrants.

If a crisis does not present itself for exploitation,

Then the Tyrant will have the Apparatchiks create

a crisis to utilize.

Human Social Life Rules

It's not what you say, it's how you say it.

(It's not what you don't say, it's how you don't say it.)

It's not what you do, it's how you do it.

(It's not what you don't do, it's how you don't do it.)

Exception to the above rules.

It's not what or how you say or do it,

It's WHO says or does it.

Our Fragile Government

 It is also time to revisit the famous and insightful observation of the Scottish historian, 

Alexander Fraser Tytler, to wit:

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence: 

From bondage to spiritual Faith; 

From spiritual faith to great Courage;

 From courage to Liberty; 

From liberty to Abundance; 

From abundance to Selfishness; 

From selfishness to Complacency; 

From complacency to Apathy; 

From apathy to Dependence;

 From dependence back into Bondage."

Strong Medicine Wisdom

It's time to revisit the Stefan Aarnio quote that nowadays so exquisitely describes our current national and social state of affairs, to wit:

 HARD TIMES CREATE

       STRONG MEN

STRONG MEN CREATE

       GOOD TIMES

GOOD TIMES CREATE

       WEAK MEN

WEAK MEN CREATE

       HARD TIMES 

New Age Wisdom

 

Nuevo Wisdom

 What kind of wisdom would blame the pencil for the harsh, malicious, and untrue words that destroys a person and righteous institutions?

What kind of wisdom would blame ink for malicious, untrue, and destructive words that ink spells out in publications designed to destroy and mislead?

What kind of wisdom would blame radio waves and digital data streams for delivering malicious, untrue, and deliberate misleading content to the population at large. 

What kind of wisdom would blame the thermometer for causing the fever that can kill a person?

What kind of wisdom would blame the automobile for killing and injuring untold numbers of people each year?

What kind of wisdom would blame the gun for killing and injuring people?

If so, then the same wisdom should demand that if the gun is outlawed, then pencils, ink, radio waves, digital data streams, and automobiles, should likewise, be outlawed.

TAXES, DIGITAL CURRENCY AND CRYPTO

 One of the most important truths you can ever realize is, TAXES ARE POWER. More taxes generate more power for Government.  When the Government raises taxes to the point of diminishing monetary returns and has maxed out its power to control, it turns to restricting the unfretted and free exchange of money by free citizens.

     Government does this in order to finish complete final control over how supposedly free citizens can use money without Government approval. This can be done by replacing existing paper currency with a DIGITAL CURRENCY, of which, will be under complete control of the Government. In other words, you will not be able to stash money in your wallet for personal use because all digital money will be held by the Government to be doled out as Government sees fit. All digital money use will be at the discretion of the Government and, will be based upon political considerations, that will further and expand Government. This digital currency conversion will usurp the last remaining vestiges of citizen personal freedom guaranteed by the US Constitution. President Biden has started the establishment of DIGITAL CURRENCY by issuing an Executive Order to do just that.

 A feeble attempt by free citizens to prevent this from happening is the invention of CRYPTO currency using BLOCK CHAIN technology to prevent Government from using currency to control activity of citizens without Government approval. This is a feeble attempt because the Government will find a way to regulate and control Crypto currency. I'm just saying.       

It's Their Dogma

 Progressives, Liberals, Socialists, Communists all hold their Dogma flag up high, to wit:

We love all of Humanity but hate People.  

Look, Look, this Way

 There is nothing like a good old-fashioned WAR to divert attention from ones failing domestic policies. Just Saying.
