Did We Have A Debate…?
I’m sitting here by Trish’s bedside as the physical therapists are exercising her. I feel like I’ve been exiled to the moon, as I was thinking that outside of the podcast, I haven’t heard any “news” in over a month. I heard someone mention that the Republicrats had a presidential candidate’s debate last night. Really? Did anybody win? I don’t even know who participated; and that’s not a complaint, just an observation. I don’t guess it really matters in the end run, because there are no more statesmen, just politicians, who “…Talk talk talk talk talk, and they don’t say nuthin’.” (T-Bone Burnett). The days of someone caring about the country and its people more than their stock portfolio are gone. Having been to Southern Mexico quite a few times, I’ve been blessed to have been able to visit quite a number of ancient Meso-American archaeological sites—Zapotec, Mixtec, Maya; many quite spectacular. Like now, the peasants did all the work building and supplying the elite ruling class (often to their own peril), and the elite enjoyed the best of everything. The difference between then and now is that eventually the peasants got sick of living like dogs (and being sacrificed by having their hearts cut out [while alive] with a stone knife, while the elite, who demanded everything from them, lived the good life, and so…said peasants simply moved away. They just up and left; went somewhere else. In time the food ran out “up on the hill” and the ruling elites had to learn the hard way, that the good times were over. This happened over and over again, and is an extremely plausible historical explanation for the collapse of these once great civilizations. The Spanish didn’t conquer as much as we have been led to believe. The peasants just quit paying the freight of their rulers, and it was all abandoned. I wonder, is there a lesson in this for us? I mean we are paying dearly for our misery and exploitation….

Your comments are entirely consistent with the philosophy of walking away from the madness… not engaging, opting out, not giving the psychopaths in control even s tiny bit of our energy… people are moving away from the elite infrastructure as this Yuga comes to the end, the wave function collapses, etc… we will be those who participate in (create) the coming renaissance… and history goes on… whatever happens the Green Dragon will endure. I’ll stay the course until your return boss! Love to you, dear Trish, and your family.

Thanks so much. Your call was profound today.

You remind me of my Mennonite neighbor who during a leisurely chat occasionally asks “so what are the communists up to these days”. I give him the broad brush of the cultural demise , he just nods knowingly.

You’re one of a kind Dana ! Prayers for you and Trish !!

Just up and left 🔥. Chose not to participate 🔥. That’s our best strategy and most fulfilling.
Sending 🙏🙏🙏 for strength and healing.

Exactly! Remember when you were a kid and did the same? Pick up your toys and leave the sandbox and go home saying, “I’m not playing your games or following your rules”. Do not acquiesce!

There is so much to being able to just say no. Not caring what these greedy fools are up to and making our own way without them. It’s funny how we never see government in our normal day, with the exception of payday. Their own self importance seems to be what keeps them going, ignoring them is a great start to tearing down their arrogance. Prayers out for you through these trying times.

Exercise sounds like a good thing and a bit of progress. I’ll bet you didn’t miss much in that debate very few people probably watched. Quitting abiding by the rules while objecting is taking hold now more firmly. It’s different today as it’s a global operation. Different countries and different states face less utter lunacy as the frogs are boiled. Doing your part has really changed meaning from OBEY… to We Will Not Comply! Praying 🙏 for you and Trish.

Like someone else said, the Amish / Mennonite community don’t really care what outsiders are doing. We don’t have to be just like them to reject materialism.
Maybe we should take solace in the fact that this mess wasn’t created in a day, so it won’t be cleaned up in a day either.
A while back, I began to wonder if these “elites” were more concerned about A.I. than anything else – because hey, how can you advance your swampy legal career when you’ve enabled intellectual property to be pillaged like the Roman sacking of Carthage? So the push for the UBI, the push for IOT, the push for “social justice” all makes sense if politicians think that even their career can be replaced by big tech. They are self-important narcissists anyway, so even if they weren’t threatened, they would still look to their legacy – whether it’s on the side of economic production or some kind of communist utopia.
