A Veritable Feast of Reality, Choice, and Consequences

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

Someone I care about got into some trouble the week before Thanksgiving. They asked for my help, and I wasn’t raised to say “no” in such situations. What ensued were a series of unfortunate events that staggered my mind and challenged my previously naive vision of a moderately benevolent universe.

By any definition, any knowledgeable neutral party would say I did everything right, in spite of the dire turn of events that, fortunately, resulted in only a minor loss of time and money on my part; with a still positive outcome for the party I helped.

Even now, looking back, I realize I’d have made all the same decisions with the same information I had at the time. Yet, the mostly-positive denouement of the entire affair resulted in a conclusion I never dreamed possible at the start.

It had to do with a car accident, an insurance claim, buying a lemon, and ultimately enjoying some fine lemonade in the end. The party who I helped is now better off than if my original plans were realized. I will say, however, it was darkest before the dawn, and things should have ended much worse.

I don’t know why it happened; only that it did. And, in spite of my minor loss of time and funds, I now realize I was changed for the better because of understanding, and appreciating, certain solutions of which I was prejudiced against prior. In short, my mind has been opened in ways which will benefit this blogger far more than some money ever could; and my lessons learned resulted in a new willingness to explore every room before locking any doors.

It’s been said wisdom comes from experience. I believe that now more than ever. It’s also true that time is a teacher that kills all of the students.  Indeed. The inevitableness of reality requires honesty and acceptance.

Here is reality:

It’s bigger than me. It washes over like time-drops raining moments on my face.  I can’t grasp anything outside of my reach; or control what’s not mine.

Here is wisdom:

When you’re in the shit, the next-right-move is all that matters.

W.I.N.N. = What is Needed Now.

Today, we live in a land where black-robed mullah’s side with misogynic bearded men against the reproductive rights of young girls:

Judge Bernard Friedman of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan ruled that Congress did not have the authority to pass the law against female genital mutilation…

A land where it’s Supreme Court Chief Justice rebuked a President while, simultaneously, praising the “independent judiciary.”

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare rebuke over Donald Trump’s attacks on the federal judiciary, saying ‘we do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges’.

….Roberts said on the day before Thanksgiving that an ‘independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.’

Consider which U.S. president appointed which judge compared to the deciding opinions of every historical case, and the reader would realize the hilarity, or malice, behind Robert’s contention of an “independent judiciary”.  Yes, it would be funny if wasn’t so sad, and dangerous.

If America were to be made great again, the indictments of Deep State criminals (and particularly those in the Justice Department) would have had to have fallen prior to the 2018 Midterm Elections. They did not.  So, now, it’s become a matter for future historians to sort out.

Maybe Trump wasn’t real. Perhaps he didn’t have the power, maybe he was hoping for a Red Wave that never happened.  In any event, we hear whispers of former FBI Director James Comey, and the Clinton Foundation, being investigated by the now Lame-Duck House, but that’s all. At the same time, judges are reigning in Trump in at every turn; even his own appointees.

Jim Acosta’s White House press pass — stripped from him after a heated exchange between the CNN correspondent and President Trump last week — must be temporarily reinstated, a Trump-appointed federal judge ruled

Of course, the Surveillance State knows where all of the skeletons are buried in every closet, and all they need to do is press the right buttons, at the just right times, to steer the future in whatever direction they want; like reality TV.

Now a “conflicted prosecutor gone rogue” recklessly ruins American lives; like an inquisitor from antiquity:

The Phony Witch Hunt continues, but Mueller and his gang of Angry Dems are only looking at one side, not the other. Wait until it comes out how horribly & viciously they are treating people, ruining lives for them refusing to lie. Mueller is a conflicted prosecutor gone rogue….

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2018

And, furthermore, in complete collusion with a complicit Orwellian Fourth Estate:

….The Fake News Media builds Bob Mueller up as a Saint, when in actuality he is the exact opposite. He is doing TREMENDOUS damage to our Criminal Justice System, where he is only looking at one side and not the other. Heroes will come of this, and it won’t be Mueller…

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2018

Hillary Clinton now smiles like an aging Cheshire cat as Julian Assange is trapped like a tiny mouse; prior to the rats taking over the U.S. House.

Harvard Law Professor, Alan Dershowitz, warns Robert Mueller’s report will be ”politically very devastating” to Trump; even in the absence of any crimes committed:

When I say devastating, I mean it’s going to paint a picture that’s going to be politically very devastating. I still don’t think it’s going to make a criminal case

How could that happen in America, if not for the propaganda spewed by the Orwellian Media? To be sure, with every morsel savored, and swallowed, by the vapid dullards of a dying nation.

Now, one of the fifty states has even challenged the federal government’s separation of powers by attempting to dictate Trump’s cabinet choices:

The state of Maryland has gone to court against the Trump administration, seeking to remove Matthew Whitaker as acting attorney general and install Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein as the acting head of the Justice Department.

In another era, that would be yuge news. But not so, currently, with the Propagandic Arm of the Surveillance State desiring to win hearts and minds instead of reporting facts.

In the meantime, hypnotized MK Ultra-type loners, high on psychotropic chemicals and under psychiatric care, will continue to break from their prolifically bizarre social media postings in order to shoot little children in gun free zones; as the Orwellian Media paints emotionally manipulative and contrived photo narratives of cartoon-clad illegal invaders using children as pawns in a political scam:

We’re a nation of hollow men, straw men, empty men. A land of therapists, pill dispensaries, coffee houses, fitness facilities, yogurt shops, and hot yoga dens. A people living on imaginary, and regurgitated, green paper vapers for so long, we only know how to recycle anymore. It’s why we build new retail outlets on streets overrun with vacancies and going-out-of-business signage; like a rimfire, and in the center, ashes.

As the plunderers, looters, and slumlords have transitioned American cities into third-world shitholes, the online Titans have created hi-tech online checkpoints.  Papers please.

Just as Amazon has monopolized retail, so, too, has Google cornered the market on information, as monopolistic social media mutants sell censorship trademarked under “fairness” and “protection”.

It’s become difficult, if not impossible, to escape these cannibals, because we’re caught in their world-wide web; an inter net. Certainly, we’ve signed our birthrights away via “accept tabs” and to the sound of mouse-clicks.

If we fight, what will we win?  If we run, or hide, where will we go?

….. prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

– Isaiah 40:3

 

“Though it’s a bit like discovering Zuul in your refrigerator…”

Holly O.

Internet of Things: ZUUL in your Refrigerator

Bible scholars claim prophecy predicted ten economic regions of the world: Ten kings over ten kingdoms who give their power to a beast; and the United Nations has engaged in such plans:

In 1992 the UN formed a Commission on Global Governance charged with devising a system of future global management.  …After several years of “extension consultation” with “world leaders, philosophers, and futurologists” the Commission produced a report entitled “Our Global Neighbourhood.”

….This strategy appears to be based on the Club of Rome’s proposal to divide the earth into 10 administrative regions which they outlined in their report “Mankind at the Turning Point”. … Interestingly the UN is currently in the process of reviewing and reforming the organization, with particular emphasis on the Security Council…

This land is not your land; neither are the waters.  Behold the United States Clean Water Restoration Act of 2010 (Senate Bill # SW.787):

Clean Water Restoration Act – Reaffirms federal jurisdiction over all waters of the United States and overturns the decisions of the United States Supreme Court in Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County v. United States Army Corps of Engineers and Rapanos v. United States.

Amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly known as the Clean Water Act) to replace the term “navigable waters” that are subject to such Act with the term “waters of the United States,” defined to mean all waters subject to the ebb and flow of the tide, the territorial seas, and all interstate and intrastate waters, including lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams), mudflats, sandflats, wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, playa lakes, and natural ponds, all tributaries of any of such waters, and all impoundments of the foregoing.

Is it still conspiracy if it’s all been published by the United Nations and passed into law in the United States?

As stated by this blogger before, President Donald Trump is the manifestation of one of the following three possibilities:

 

A.) The Real Thing

 

B.) Serving the agenda of the global financial elite unwittingly

 

C.) Controlled opposition as a Judas Goat or Trojan Horse

 

In any scenario above, there remains the possibility that Trump and his Deplorables were merely the bleeding of the brake-lines before the Big Stop.  Or, it could be holy water will soon rain down over the baleful, bastard beast and it’s abominable, bloody feast.

The only plan I can think of is to do the next necessary thing in any given moment and to turn over all that’s bigger than me; and that not belonging to me. To hell with the man, his black horse, and every one by his side.

The table is set and the main course is on the way.

Whether whatever-comes-next is delivered by the hand of God, the devil’s power, or via mathematics by the multiplications and divisions of ordinary men – when it’s time to eat, care not over what is being served but, rather, more importantly, who shows up for dinner.

No need to invent the wheel with Star Wars trivia, despite what Diogenes Turd might conjure, it has always been this:

Right on. The ship of change by politics was blown out of the water years ago. Politics is no place for the competent and good. Only the evil and compromised are allowed inside the ring of power. And not just politics. Corporate America has been degraded to criminal rackets.

The time since, has been a period of growing disillusionment and despair, and hence, that last grasp of hope, Trump. Most here know change will come and not by the ballot.

Trump wants power for power’s sake, for the same putrid pleasure that all power-seekers seek. If he’s fighting anything, and that’s open to question, he’s fighting a losing battle against, in no particular order: crushing debt; an evolving multipolar world; an electorate that grows dumber by the day as the old people with a lick of sense die and the younger, deluded socialist snowflakes shun responsibility and work but claim the rewards; a military-industrial-intelligence complex that augments its power and wealth with never-ending wars; a welfare complex that nurtures idleness, degeneracy, and an implacable sense of entitlement; an entertainment-academic complex that degenerates what used to be called virtues and embraces all manner of bizarre and immoral behavior; and a parastic government and rent-seeker class that overseas it all for their own pleasure and profit. Trump was a reaction to much of what many Americans know has gone wrong, but whatever his intentions, he’s going to be like everyone else—playing on the beach with his pail and shovel when the tsunami, now so close its visible on the shore, rolls in.

Another fine article, Doug, I’ll post it tonight.

An economic collapse is the only thing that could wake enough people from their slumber to see the train wreck coming our way. As scary as that will be I can’t think of anything else that might work. Either way America as we knew it is gone forever. Intentionally destroyed so the powers that be can enslave future generations with more ” debt ” then they could ever repay. Prepare as best you can.

Hey, I resemble that remark.

Mary, As a prepper who is long past the basics, I’m not expecting The Life of Riley…I’m just not big into eating Alpo while sitting in the dark while freezing.

When I was 12 there was another neighborhood of boys who came into our neighborhood on a Saturday afternoon with pockets full of crab apples and ran us off our playground pelting us with the apples while chasing us for a block.

All week long we stewed. I came up with a plan and prepped, challenged the other neighborhood and at high noon we faced off against them on the playground with both sides this time with bulging pockets of crab apples. Ahhh….but then we revealed our preps…garbage can lid shields in one hand…and I had arranged for two of ours guys to show up with their paper route shoulder bags filled with endless apple ammo! Overwhelming crab apple fire superiority!!!

We vanquished the other neighborhood punks attempting to impose their NNO (New Neighborhood Order) through superior prepping and planning!

A boyhood lesson I never forgot.

Too bad the neighborhood kids don’t play like that anymore. Now it’s all video games. Although, the rural kids still go outside.

In the summer I went outside and only came home for dinner, then left again for evening games..until the streetlights came on. Todays kids don’t know what they are missing.

Yeah, those were good days. I swear my mother locked the back door after tossing us out after breakfast. She wanted us home at lunch and dinner unless we made other arrangements, mostly to make sure we were not dead or bleeding heavily… and of course when the street lights came on. We learned a lot about ourselves and our abilities and nobody ever went missing. The neighbor ladies, cigarettes in hand, curlers peeking out from under scarves, would rat us out if we went rogue, and made sure we were heading to our homes when the sun began to set.

Ya I did that too and I’m only in my early 30s. Thered be 8-20 of us on many summer nights out playing flashlight tag and other such games. Running all through the neighborhood, and when it reached a certain time and one of the kids had to go home, wed all go as a group and beg their parents to let them stay out a little longer. It was a great neighborhood to grow up in.

I’m always surprised I never see that in my neighborhood. I Halloween there were a ton of kids, but I hardly ever see groups of them doing anything regardless of time of year or weather.

I, too, had been in better shape (physically and prep-wise) about 3 yrs ago. I was in a really pretty good situation for any calamity. Any calamity except, apparenly, the death of loved one, and loss of job. So, I sold property looking to downsize. Nothing went as planned & now I’m no longer ready and have health issues that need resolving. I’m not bitter or sad about it; but if the collapse happens tomorrow, the irony of having been prepared 3 yrs early and unprepared when collapse hit, will not be lost on me.

I should know things that are ok to mention here are not stuff one should talk about in social settings. Since I have little experience in talking with women and I was at a party with the other in-laws, I mentioned MC, casually making an off-hand reference to how she said she was downsizing her breast(s). This shocked my SIL’s mom and I had to back-pedal to avoid sounding pervy. I had no luck trying to make TBP sound better than how Shelly viewed it so I focused on asking how the grand-kid looked like his dad.

Ah, who cares, I’m the one who provoked my SIL from Nebraska with the affirmation that the US never went to the moon. That was over 25 years ago. I don’t believe I ever recovered in her view. I have a party to attend this month with my daughter’s white in laws from SC, I wonder what topic I should lead with – impeachment or the caravan?

There are just too many damn crackers in my family. It feels like me and the sexy mulatta are being genocided.

I don’t agree with denninger on everything, but he is right about one thing – ‘it’ will happen sometimes between tomorrow and 2024, because that’s when the Medicare fund runs dry. The choice then becomes drastically cut funding to that program, or add 800 billion to our ever growing deficit. Neither of those will work for very long.

Or more likely– an economic collapse will have the masses begging and clamoring for Big Gov to save them. What is going to emerge is a beast-like system, just as foretold.

All transactions will be electronic and monitored. No one will buy or sell unless he has an identifying card/mark/chip/account to the global monetary system access. ( possibly a crypto-currency derivative) Many who now say they will never take part in such a system will practically plead for this economic savior!

Embedded into that sentence in the piece, is a link to the poem “The Hollow Men” by T.S. Eliot.

The first line of the poem is a tribute to Mr. Kurtz from Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness”.

The second line (“A penny for the Old Guy”) is, supposedly, a hat tip to Guy Fawkes whose visage appears in Javelin’s video above.

Just a little trivial synchronicity there.

The prudent advice would then be to get out of the way, no?

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 KJV… “But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.”

The adversaries battle is with the above truth. God has not appointed us to wrath but to obtain salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ.

What is being established, what we are all currently witnessing around us are the conditions by which the masses will beg for “peace and safety”. It will be the devil which delivers the goods; thus will he receive worship for a short span. His written goal of “being LIKE the Most High” finally realized (Isaiah 14:12-14).

God will then pour out His just wrath on this fallen world. As the above Pauline scripture denotes, no one understanding even the very basics of salvation need go through any of this. God shows the way out. Someone here gets out alive; no apologies to Jim Morrison.

There will be a translation of the saved (dead and alive) out of this world before God has Had Enough.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 KJV… “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”

Problem – solution.

Again, our adversary will do anything to prevent belief in this, the true Gods solution to the god of this worlds created problem.

Thanks for your observations Doug.

grace and peace from God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ …

While I don’t believe it is scripturally knowable, when this grace dispensation will end (otherwise it wouldn’t have been a mystery hid in God – Eph 3), it sure seems as if things are getting very evil at an ever increasing rate. I see satan on the move big time in the world and will not be at all surprised if the prophesy clock begins ticking again shortly. How much more of us can He put up with??? For sure, Daniels last week, the great tribulation, will begin when God calls His ambassadors home. I do hope for His call soon even though it is a selfish wish…

“Trump wants power for power’s sake…”

In a time of war, power is the means to win. If Trump does not overcome the power of the deep state (with what? Gentlemanly courtesy?), he loses and the deep state wins. Does anyone really believe the deepstate won’t fix what they see as broken by making sure another Donald Trump can’t win? Does any part of that bode well for liberty lovers? The effort to complete the enslavement is out in the open and a lot of people still support the enslavers and hate the enemy of the enslavers. I guess these people never read “The Art War” which wise declares that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”.

I’m perplexed–in what sense exactly has Trump fought against crushing debt, or an evolving multi-polar world… I’d agree he’s losing that battle if in fact he’s made any effort against it. How is he against a military-industrial-intelligence complex when he brags about feeding it more of the federal budget?
I’m pretty sure that people who’d be about 110 years old about now said the same thing about your generation when you were younger. Maybe you don’t disagree with that however?

To that, I will add this: Most times, I try to hone some of the rough edges out of the original version until it shines indisputable; if only to keep some of the readers from twisting their panties on any snags. But, for this one, I left in a few rough cuts for the sake of conversation.

In addition, I decided to retain all of the “I”, “me”, and “this blogger” portions because I can’t tell anyone else what to do. I can only, occasionally, share with them what works over here.

Uncola,

words of caution about your intro to this fine artistic writing you put together.

Here is the link to the local paper write up and I hope it helps explain my words of caution…

https://www.modbee.com/news/article49612235.html

My high school buddy was the guy who bought the fraudulent playing cards from another longtime friend, the defendant Xue Heu in the story above.

This guy Xue came back into my close circle of friends back in 2014, he went to our kids birthday parties with his soon to be ex wife and kids…
He bragged to me that he learned how to play the stock market from Trump himself and had hit me up for money on a “sure thing” real estate investment in my area knowing I had came into a small chunk of $$…. something in my inner gut told me something wasn’t right and thankfully I never game him a dime. That didn’t stop some of my other unsuspecting buddies from forking over some of their hard earned cash…he did this all while facing charges of real estate fraud and keeping that hidden from my circle of friends …we had known him for a good 20 years but lost touch until 2014/2015.

Sometimes once you draw the attention of the Eye of Sauron extra attention manifests in a variety of interpersonal ways…

With your writing prowess I don’t doubt that extra attention and “weird” coincidences haven’t already happened but will continue to…thus the nature of what George Webb referred to as Disrupt and Diffuse operations, COINTELPRO

Listen to the heart but don’t forget your gut!

Thumbsy, Your book sounds texty, like a college book. My theory is simpler. I have come to my own conclusion that people inherit not only physical traits but character traits as well. This is not an original idea.

My uncle disappointed my granny because he was her favorite but school was not his favorite. It turned out he only pretended to go to school. She scolded him, who are you like? Well, he said, I must be like somebody (in the family). I think HF has covered a story like this.

Double Demon thinks it’s the same soul being re-incarnated. I think it’s a different soul in a familiar body style. Like a car model, it works just like similar models unless it is a lemon; the driver taking the place of the ghost in the machine.

Uncola,

I only have one close friend who like me is also (correctly as my TBP friend TampaRed called me in another post) a Hard Core Prepper. I dropped into this Hard Core Prepper condition since I realized the condition, We the People were conditioned not to be in, was the Hard Core Prepper condition…because the bent over picking up the soap condition the globalist’s will put us in…is the Agenda 21 condition. (My apologies to Kenny Roger’s long gone normal face).

The prophetic 10 kingdoms Biblical reference you raise and the 10 UN Regions will of course in my mind merge…one day. I believe that prophesied reality is becoming obvious to anyone who believes in Biblical prophecy. I’m just looking and praying for a Nineveh delay and that’s the best hope and change I have for the Donald if he was to have second term.

Me and my hard core prepper friend have talked in great length about your accurate three Trump possibilities:

A.) The Real Thing

B.) Serving the agenda of the global financial elite unwittingly

C.) Controlled opposition as a Judas Goat or Trojan Horse

He believes Trump is A. He is not a prophecy wonk as I am and I am not convinced Trump is A…but that is still a possibility…getting slimmer by the day…but he could be B and I’m not ruling out C.

However, if Trump is A or even B I believe he buys us time…and time to a Hard Core Prepper is the most valuable stash we could have.

Great post.

Thanks, Mark. For the most part, I’ve considered myself a boring businessman who’s found a late-in-life catharsis with writing; before the stormtroopers come ’round. I’m a nobody. A ghost in the machine.

But I’ve come to believe in the strategy of Three Ways. Like the mind, body, spirit, the three branches of government, the Holy Trinity, or three dimensions.

Consider risk management: We will either live, die, or become disabled. How to prepare?

When it comes to stuff: You will keep it, lose it, or release it on your own accord. This means 3 is 2, 2 is 1, and 1 is 0. In other words, a spare is good, but a spare spare is better.

In the future, if surrender isn’t an option, then we will fight, flight, or stay out of sight. How to prepare? Portability (i.e. bugging out) could be a profound benefit in either of those three scenarios. Or, it could be jumping from the proverbial frying pan into the fire.

Realistically, I think we can only prepare so much, and via the measurement of probabilities and with an inclination toward adaptability (i.e. resilience, flexibility, fluidity, portability). Above that, Mike Tyson’s maxim comes to mind: “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face”.

Regarding Trump: It seems “nationalism” is trending around the globe to the apparent bewailing of globalists the world over. Or it could be that’s what they want us to think. What a great way to expedite the Great Reset while compartmentalizing the nations into their respective regions.

Nationalization triggered by illegal immigration followed by economic collapse (via war – trade and actual). Nice hat-trick:

“I’m just looking and praying for a Nineveh delay ”
That’s just about all we can do right now. The Gordian Knot is too huge and way too twisted to be undone, by design. Americans have taken their freedoms & other blessings for granted for decades now, passively accepting the unacceptable so as to not rock the boat of leisure & luxury, even if the luxuries are merely junk food & TV. Solutions to the problems take time and effort that people are not willing to expend. Heaven-forbid making yourself uncomfortable! Moan and complain if so desired, but don’t make yourself uncomfortable.
So prayer is all the awake and aware who actually care have left, since people have refused to band together and insist upon real solutions to this nation’s problems. Thankfully, it’s a powerful weapon, and in my opinion it’s the only thing that’s holding back the full brunt of wickedness. So please keep on praying everyone. Encourage others to pray, also, because when the prayer warriors disappear from the scene, the scenario will be much worse than any of us could even imagine.

This is my first time posting. I appreciate the articles & comments here. I’m glad that you don’t use the deranged dysfunctional disqus.

“Tanks, for the memories.”

Jimmy Durante

It’s been a real gas, the last few years. After 8 years of Obama and things looking like Hillary would put the final nail in the coffin, a man stepped up to the plate and said “If I was, you’d be in jail.” And just like that, the whole world changed for the better. We could celebrate Christmas again and there was a new attitude in America.

And just like that the red wave became the red drip and all the perps smiled broadly, because they knew their skin was saved from incarceration and they could continue in their criminal cabal without fear of the dirt people finally getting justice. It’s hard having any hope in tweets that promise the evil will finally be exposed, when the perps are now running the asylum.

MAGA was great, but in the end, it was just one man. Many thanks for the months of hope you gave us, but in the end, the new face of America will be foreign, godless and in your face. The NPC’s will be the new voice, parroting whatever the media tells them to say and truth will become rare and soon to be eliminated, because “it hurts our feelings.”

There is still hope, but it won’t be pretty, when the country is finally run into the ground, there may be a few who will pick up the pieces, but only after many generations have come and gone in misery and suffering.

Be thankful for today, enjoy the fruits of a still functioning society and be optimistic in the future you can still provide for yourself and your family. Protect you kids from the onslaught of dehumanization that is being pumped into the public schools and teach them well in the ways of individualism and discipline. Focus now on the local scene, develop friendships with those you can trust and insulate yourself from others who have a smell of the rot that is coming. God be with you.

You make me want to go get my old notes from the Family of families group I belonged to. I compiled a list of executive orders under Clinton, Bush and Obama. Scary stuff, especially regarding the water. We have a spring-fed pond and a couple of small NON-navigable creeks. The non-navigable is important, since that means the government doesn’t want it.

Now, one creek feeds another creek and about a mile or so up the gravel road there’s an actual named river, but I won’t bother pointing out the creek gives me access.

Government trolls are the stupidest.

I couldn’t wait to read about the car accident and insurance claim and buying a lemon aaaaaand, most importantly, the lessons you learned & how you made lemonade.

Just know this, I have it written and it unfurls better than a Jason Bourne movie. It is also an amazing step by step process on how to acquire a used vehicle, and how shit can hit the fan (with no obvious guilty parties) like a game of cosmic musical chairs.

Then, how to stay cool by doing the next best thing until the winds of fortune catch the new sails like a vortex whisking pilgrims to a previously undiscovered land of happy destiny. And the best thing of all was to see those who were involved shine in the deepest black of night which preceded the dawn of the new day.

This blogger neither deserved the bad or the good, yet the unseen providences therein, were, to say the least, humbling.

The lessons I learned was stated heretofore:

1.) It (i.e reality) is bigger than me ;

and,

2.) what is being served is less important than who was there with me at the feast.

The reasons I had to stay generalized in the presentation were for purposes of concealing the innocent, retaining privacy, and not jeopardizing any potential future litigation. If so, that would be another tale to tell. We’ll see.

Let’s not point fingers, it’s a TBP thing. You sit in front of your device and the electronic Symbiote silently envelops you, transforms you into an anonymous yet fearless TBP shit-flinger. I know because I used to be a mono-person at one time, before I arrived here and along with my mild-mannered daytime reality, I became EC.

Hmmm…

“Symbiote”: The Klyntar are a fictional species of inorganic, amorphous, multicellular, extraterrestrial symbiotes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The Klyntar bond with their hosts, creating a symbiotic bond through which a single entity is created. They also are able to slightly alter their hosts personalities, by influencing their darkest desires and wants, along with amplifying their physical and emotional traits and personality, granting them super-human abilities.

See, this is a perfect example why your amorphous, multicellular, extraterrestrial influence has me worried!

“amplifying their … personality”

That’s the reason Spiderman didn’t become Venom and neither became Carnage.
TBP is an amplifier. The tiny notes you plink on your keyboard become thunderous sounds at a rock concert. They better not suck or you will be shouted down. However, if you believe in yourself, you will rock on until the world catches up to your vision.

I tried the role playing gig and have decided keeping it simple (am still working on first edit to draft of KALP) works best for many reasons. Unless you want to saddle your comments with other baggage. Some do; some don’t. Some will play and then they won’t.

Comments here are top notch, coming from mostly people of reason with some awareness of history and political events. It doesn’t take the lurker very long to realize the wise asses here at tbp generally have their shit together too or they get their asses handed to them. Here, like everywhere, it takes a certain nerve to comment from a point of view that is not popular. But, here, it can be done and survived.

I thought of t4c today when I heard this. And I’m not the least bit queer… I suppose it is admiration for her ability to stand. Look at t4c. I admire you v.v.much death nurse.

In a nutshell, what’s in a name? About the same as is contained in a word. What could a person do with a Word?

I don’t want to dump on an old fishing partner’s parade, but I figure this one is coming to tis comment end soon. Am hoping to end the comment and convey the meaning to those willing to just accept it and move on.

I will be standing no butter battles on homonym hillocks for initials which lead one to the lead mine of nicknames or monikers.

I will be commenting as meg from time to time. Or not.

A katana sword? Do you believe a physical weapon will defeat spiritual beings not of flesh and blood?

Ephesians 6:17 KJV… “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:”

We have bigger beasts to battle. Though this believer is locked and loaded for both.

Uncola,

I’m a business Loss Prevention non-fiction short story, business article writer, had two serials for a total of 7 years in two different magazines. (Low on the food chain industry mags). This quote reminds me of me…and some of them.

“When you get a bad review, you hate the writer. It’s very painful; whoever says the opposite lies. It’s humiliating. Sometimes it comes from an honest place, but most times, it comes from a desire to trash someone.”

I sold my “first” piece to a low food chain industry rag. I was still in college, so got the easy “A” in the short story class (it was non-fiction). However, after I got the paycheck for $150, the first of many writing paychecks that amounted to nothing worth bragging about. The professor was proud of me, but she and I were same age. I was 35 years old, NOT 20, so of course I had a thing or two to write about that was interesting.

It’s always been bothering to publish that stands in my way of potential greatness. I like leaving my stuff in little piles for a while, then picking it up and determining if it walks. Some will not; some will stand; most go to fire.

Some go hardcopy, for someone else to burn.

The piece was humorous financial advice I wrote after my husband and I got roped into one of those two hour financial gimmicks where they get you to let them manage your IRAs or other investments and they recommend the highest of the high-load funds to everyone. But, it was an old military friend who’d retired and needed a job and his job was to fill seats at these investment seminars. So, we filled a couple of seats for him and agreed to meet with his boss and to be nice.

We were nice, but I had a baby in a stroller at both financial counseling sessions so tended to wander around the office and up and down the hallway. My husband “handled” the meeting. Since I’d handed him one of Peter Lynch’s investing books from the 80s I’d grabbed after being roped into that “seminar” by an old comrade, he was well prepared to discuss our retirement with the financial genius who discovered the secret way in to military investors: retired Chiefs with a lot of influence.

So the seminar was Saturday morning with “meetings” scheduled with the whizbang expert. The guy was all ready to help us into some 4% up front loaded fund which had huge returns over the past however many years they quoted that, by the way?, was not a predictor of future performance. Even at the ludicrous rate of return the guy “seemed” to promise, but couldn’t, it would have taken 4 years to get back to zero!

We thanked him, told him we would sign NOTHING without discussing further and I made it a point to stop by the former chief’s office, where he was on the phone throwing away more old friends by getting them to come get bilked.

So, it was a good little article well worth 150 bucks. LOL… And I got the easy A.

I don’t read comments there otherwise. My login is tied to my old work account at a usaf base. The password is also tied to the old work account… but now that you’ve said that, I may close it.

“Whether whatever-comes-next is delivered by the hand of God, the devil’s power, or via mathematics by the multiplications and divisions of ordinary men – when it’s time to eat, care not over what is being served but, rather, more importantly, who shows up for dinner.”

Or the Gods of The Copybook Headings:

“……As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return! “
