The "One Drop" Rule Makes Kamala Harris Black?

Currently, I am not a paid subscriber to Jon Rappoport’s Substack, so I cannot post my contradiction to his supposition that he wrote here, 👇🏾

“Of course, black activists have been saying, for a long time, that one drop of black blood means you’re black. That’s an interesting off-the-cuff Black Power fairy tale.”

The “one drop” law was hoisted upon folks who were mixed during slavery in the US, and was not codified by “black activists” but was codified by the US government. From wikipedia (don’t give me the blues about Wikipedia).

“This concept became codified into the law of some U.S. states in the early 20th century.[4] It was associated with the principle of “invisible blackness”[5] that developed after the long history of racial interaction in the South, which had included the hardening of slavery as a racial caste system and later segregation. Before the rule was outlawed by the Supreme Court in the Loving v. Virginia decision of 1967, it was used to prevent interracial marriages and in general to deny rights and equal opportunities and uphold white supremacy.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-drop_rule

I would like to add that there has been much debate about this “so-called” law, and that is was mostly used by the Post Bellum South to reflect that a person with “one drop” of Black blood was no longer a pure blood. This law was racist and discriminatory against anyone who may have mixed heritage, particularly the blood of an African enslaved person. These individuals were summarily denied access that their pure blood ancestors had.

It was more of an insult, than anything Black Activists would want to ascribe to or even make a fairy tale about.

While I do appreciate much of what Mr. Rappoport writes and have been a long subscriber to his work before he came to substack, I must strongly disagree with his assertion that Black Activists had anything at all to do with codifying the “one drop” law. In fact, if they were to ascribe to this so-called fairy tale, it would be to say how powerful and dominate just one drop of African blood is!

However, most African American activists see it as it was initially enshrined; racist and not only towards anyone with the blood of Africans running thru their veins, but the blood of the Indigenous of this colony called the United States of America.

There have been some scholarly writing about whether or not certain US Presidents had “one drop” of black blood. One such writer comes to mind J.A. Rogers. https://www.thriftbooks.com/a/ja-rogers/224271/

Joel Augustus Rogers (September 6, 1880 – March 26, 1966) was a Jamaican-American author, journalist, and amateur historian who focused on the history of Africa; as well as the African diaspora. After settling in the United States in 1906, he lived in Chicago and then New York City. He became interested in the history of African Americans in the United States. His research spanned the academic fields of history, sociology and anthropology. He challenged prevailing ideas about scientific racism and the social construction of race, demonstrated the connections between civilizations, and traced achievements of ethnic Africans, including some with mixed European ancestry. He was one of the earliest popularizers of African and African-American history in the 20th century.[1] His book World’s Great Men of Color was recognized by John Henrik Clarke as being his greatest achievement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Augustus_Rogers

Of course some may say that his works were pure speculation but considering the times and sentiment of the societal, political and economical environment in which he wrote, one would do well, in my opinion, to note his works with an objective lens. His writings had a major impact on the movement against racial discrimination by offering alternative views as to what and who human beings really are. With that, the question of “The 5 Negro Presidents” was definitely couched within the realm of the “one drop” law. It clearly shows that if this law is to be recognized as a major distinction in racial identity, then surely one drop would make these 5 Presidents “Negro.”

I find it ironic that there are still ‘so-called” political scholars, pundits, historians, educators and the like, who remain virtually ignorant of the racial climate that this colony called the USA, has perpetuated by the obstruction of the entire historical contribution of the African American. Since we certainly have not had a female president of the USA, we can summarily say that Ms. Kamala Harris may be the first Black Woman President. We can also say that should she be elected, it is her choice to decide how she wishes to ethnically categorize herself. This choice is now available to all since the “one drop” rule was outlawed by the Supreme court in 1967 a full 57 years ago. Slavery in the USA began with the Transatlantic Slave Trade in 1400’s. They were transported to mainland USA in 1638 so we are looking at over 300 years where this rule prevailed. One Drop and you’re black!

Hulton Archive/Getty Images

The history of enslaved Africans in America shows us how this rule had pervasive racist implications. Names like Mullato, half-breed, colored, etc. became the instrument of racist stratification and in some cases even death.

I can not honestly blame anyone going thru the USA educational system for being ignorant of the true history of this country. This system does not expose its students to a full view of what actually happened in this country as it relates to the interactions between the European and the Enslaved African. Even sighting certain Hollyweird renditions of what it was like for the African to be enslaved in the USA leaves out many poignant and penetrating observations. The fact that one month out of the year is designated to “Black History” speaks volumes about the suppression of the information about the role, impact and contributions of the African in this country. So again, I cannot blame the ignorance of those who came through and graduated with high honors from this system.

My point is simply, before you report to your thousands and potentially millions of readers, that you make sure that you have taken the time to study the works of African American writers & scholars and in fact, other writers in the African-Diaspora, before you make claims in an authoritative manner.

The Awakening Has Been Sabotaged

THE ILLUSION OF DEMOCRACY

I tell you one thing, if this attempted assassination of Donald Trump didn’t do anything, it certainly shows just how easily folks can be herded into opposing streams of consciousness.

It is really tiresome to see the responses, the denials, the arguments, the speculations, the debates, the cultist adulations for their team leader, the abhorrent trashing of the other team’s leader and the decline of human sensibilities.

Everyone fighting amongst themselves and not even realizing that the boot on their neck is the same f’n boot!

So much for the true, genuine awakening. It’s has been co-opted, sabotaged, dismantled, rendered asunder, deconstructed and annihilated.

The sleeping giant briefly woke up, only to roll over, crashing the snooze button.

He is now having night terrors, fighting in his sleep with the so-called imagined mortal enemy who’s wearing the disguise of his next door neighbor.

Opinion: How A Non-Contested Vote for VP Kamala Harris Is Actually Racist & Sexist

Or Is She the “Teacher’s Pet”?

To be honest, I really don’t care about VP Kamala Harris’ background, her politics while in office, her dismal record as head of the Border Project, her estranged relationship with her father, her so called humble beginnings, her breaking the so-called glass ceiling by becoming the First female, Indian, Asian, African, Jamaican VP, her unnerving cackling as she spoke with former President Barack Obama about ice cream and pizza. I don’t care that they are upsetting the entire Democratic electoral process by pushing her in, with no debate as to whether or not someone else from the democratic party could challenge her. I don’t even care that she spent 3.5 years pretending that an obviously impaired Biden was just fine. No. I could care less about any of that.

What I care about is the travesty of positioning her as the uncontested Democratic Nominee for the next President of the United States. I care that she will be praised obnoxiously by a host of individuals and media outlets that heretofore questioned her abilities and who all pointed out their surprise when she barely got a vote during her own campaign for POTUS yet, she was appointed as Biden’s VP. I care that the USA citizens and individuals from around the globe will be once again, gaslighted, lock-step into “not believing their own eyes” for fear of being called racist or sexist, when in fact this actual appointment is racist and sexist in all its attempts to appear not to be. I care about the picture it’s actually painting for the entire world. And to me, that picture is racist and sexist and frankly it’s an insult to our intelligence, not that those who proceeded her were not as insulting.

As DNC pushes virtual vote, Harris’ nomination all but certain

“WASHINGTON ― The Democratic National Committee plans to plow ahead with a virtual nomination ahead of next month’s convention as Vice President Kamala Harris gathers the support she needs from party delegates to replace President Joe Biden at the top of the ticket.

A memo shared by the committee on Monday evening said the nominating process “must have an electronic voting component.” The purpose is to ensure that the Democratic nominee is on the ballot in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. and the party is united by the time of the convention, it says.

“Working with the Convention Rules Committee, the Democratic Party is prepared to shift the nominating portion of the Convention to an electronic format to ensure that our Democratic nominees for President and Vice President are certified before state ballot access deadlines,” the memo states.

“The in-person portion of the Convention in Chicago will then showcase the Party’s Presidential and Vice Presidential nominees and their winning agenda to rally voters and defeat Donald Trump in the fall,” it adds.”

When I was 19 years old I entered the Miss Black Philadelphia pageant (preliminaries for Miss Black Pennsylvania that lead to Miss Black America). What I saw was not talent or even beauty in the winner. What I saw was someone who was able to sway the judges from behind the scenes to make them choose her instead of the most talented and most beautiful amongst us. The rumors in our dressing room swirled as we watched her become more and more favored by the judges. We spoke in hushed tones knowing exactly what she did to get the crown. We were not only disappointed for the one we all truly believed should have gotten it, but we were disappointed in what the “winner” did to get it.

After 3 hundred years of physical slavery and 1 hundred years of supposed freedom, the African in the diaspora has had to struggle hard in all endeavors to circumvent the dark shadow of being shiftless, lazy, uneducated and criminal. We have had to be 3 times better than our so-called “white” counterparts in almost every field of endeavor. We are subjected to racial overtones of our physical features, sexual prowess and mental abilities. We all knew and know that we have to work extra hard to prove ourselves as intelligent, competent, moral and conscientious human beings. We were the last hired and the first fired. We were the “step and fetch” folks for the entertainment of the so-called “whites” who always seemed to appear as better off or even having “white privilege”. It took decades for us to be treated equally in many fields of endeavor. While we were allowed to enter the sports arena, and allowed to become super-humans on sports teams and in entertainment, we were still bought and sold as if on the slavery auction blocks. (I will save my comments on Critical Race Theory for another post).

When it comes to the fields of science, math, astronomy, physics, medicine, etc. we continue to be marginalized. There had to be a month selected to be dedicated to Black history if there was to be any history taught in schools about the accomplishments of the African American in this country, the land of the free, home of the brave. The ignorance of the African American’s contribution to math, science, physics, medicine, etc., is wide spread. Their true accomplishments are hardly heard above a whisper, and in other corners are patently ignored in most K-12 curriculums.

LIST OF AFRICAN AMERICAN INVENTORS AND THERI INVENTIONS.

The praise for African Americans is grand when they are involved in sports and entertainment, which to me is just an extension of the “Slavery mystique” and has little or nothing to do with who we are as a people, or quite frankly as human beings. The fundamental contribution that African Americans in this country as it relates to accomplishments other than sports and entertainment are summarily dismissed, hidden, ignore or devalued. I could go on and on about that, but let’s suffice it to say, that the African American in this country has been hard pressed on almost every level to prove themselves to be more than just a foot shuffling buffoon.

Hidden Figures’ No More: Meet The Black Women Who Helped Send America To Space

To me, it’s an insult to the entire African American Community who has struggled so hard to rise up in the ranks, to be given a “hand-picked” subservient Presidential candidate who will be hoisted upon the world as if this person actually achieved anything in their life worthwhile. Let alone be an example to other young African Americans. What is she really an example of? The youth won’t be exposed to any of this as her record will be and is being scrubbed from the internet. They will re-write history so as to create an imaginary false icon for the youth to pour adulations upon. The history, voices and accomplishments of other well deserving “women of color” will be overshadowed by a make-shift facade. A fantasy made out of whole cloth, that re-creates reality and viciously shuns all those who would contest it.

‘Her extraordinary origin story could help expand the base’: Diverse donors race to help Harris make history

We saw and applauded the rise of Barack Hussein Obama to the status of POTUS. We heard him speak so eloquently that we became mesmerized by his loquacious gift and intelligence. Those of us in the know, knew he was selected, but at least he was somewhat “battle-tested” and only after he got into office did he show us he was just another page of the same playbook. But now they are openly and unabashedly giving us someone who by a long shot was not even voted for. Her record of popularity pales in the face of Obama’s.

Barack and Michelle Obama endorse Kamala Harris for president

HYPOCRISY AT ITS FINEST!

What are we doing here? Are we perpetuating the same old “black female” is more powerful than her male counterpart? Are we catapulting her into the limelight so she can overshadow the accomplishments of the black man who preceded her? Does she simply get a pass because she is black (and a mixture of a host of other ethnicities) so she can pass the quota requirements?

Or is she simply the Teacher’s Pet??

How often in school did we have a serious problem with the “Teacher’s Pet?” The one who kissed the Teacher’s posterior to get a few extra grade points, along with other favors. How often did the rest of us scoff at that person for being a lackey lap-dog just for favors, when in reality they barely did any work. In fact, by being the teacher’s pet they got out of doing certain things we all had to do. They were often excused from having to put out as much effort as we did, and they often got grades they did not deserve. That did not make us happy with the pet nor the teacher as we saw this charade take place. Ironically, as children, we could see it, but it seems that today’s adults are so blind or maybe they are so easy to be manipulated that they don’t see how manipulative this whole thing is.

It’s worse than a quota vote, she’s not being challenged, she does not have to show her expertise or capabilities to handle the job of being POTUS, all she has to do is check the boxes, Black and Female. Surely if she were hired for any other position, she would at least have to pass a “smell test”. Even those African Americans in sports and Entertainment have a larger hurdle to overcome than simply being appointed. Some might say she has done so in her role as VP but are they truly being honest or just using that as an excuse to overlook the glaring evidence that even as VP she did not fulfill that role expertly.

As DNC pushes virtual vote, Harris’ nomination all but certain

Frankly, I am insulted as a African American Female in this country! I feel that every one of us should be. I also feel that every woman should be insulted as well.

In actuality, the exploitation of these two identifying features are in full display. It was once said, that the American voter, who tends to be primarily male, would never vote in a woman when Hillary Clinton was running. So, we are to believe that in a few short years, not only will they vote for a female but a woman of color?

It’s a blatant slap in the face and devaluing of our role in society. Instead of choosing a strong, vibrant, competent, intelligent candidate for the office of POTUS, they chose someone who is suspiciously malleable, proven by her blatant display of complicity in covering up for her President, Joe Biden. An act that should be brutally criticized as we all criticized the “Teacher’s Pet”. Instead, it will be forgotten, we will be censored, gaslighted, threatened, etc. and accused of being racist and sexist if we question this. And the teacher’s pet will just say we are all jealous because she won the prize.

Bill and Hillary Clinton endorse Kamala Harris Opinion | Hillary Clinton: How Kamala Harris Can Win and Make History – The New York Times

Frankly I find it appalling that someone who aspires for this high office will not be challenged but shoe-horned in, and anyone who questions this selection/appointment is a self-hating, jealous, insecure, saboteur who doesn’t want the best for our country.

My Thoughts on the Attempted Assassination of Former President Donald J. Trump

Whether you like him or hate him, just imagine the worldwide reverberation of shock and awe that would have been a global spectacle, ran over and over and over again on social media if DJT’s head had been blown off???? We are talking about the supposed “could be” and “has been” the so-called Leader of the Free World and top leader of the so-called most powerful, most greatest, most everything country!

Imagine if children had been watching that on live TV, children from around the world, but especially those children who have been brainwashed to believe that the POTUS, past and present, are utterly protected. Imagine the psychological trauma that would have caused to even the least self-aware.

While people out there are saying “next time don’t miss” I wonder if they even remotely realized what this entire world would be like had that bullet reached its target and on live TV, folks from around the world saw DJT’s brains splatter all over the place.

Yes, this may seem like a hollyweird movie, but real life is real life, and to see in real time, someone’s brains splatter all over the place is nothing to take lightly.

I am not engaged in the 2 party illusion, but no matter what, DJT is a human being, and to see a human being go out like that, has to surely be the most horrific thing to witness, no matter who they are.

I was in 7th grade when JFK was assassinated. We did not have social media back then. We listened to the radio, and those of us who had TV’s, we could only rely on what the anchors told us, later on in the day. But I do remember the hush that fell over all of us in my classroom, when it was announced that JFK had been shot. Everything and everyone STOPPED!!

Today, we get to witness it in real time. That rally was broadcast live, who knows how many cell phones, camera men and press were all there taking pictures and video. We would have seen that fatal blow over and over again, like the attempted assassination, like the twin towers, just over and over and over again.

Finally, it is my deepest impression, that that almost catastrophic event, sent a HUGE MESSAGE to every single political leader with puppet strings attached to them…… and the message is… “THAT COULD HAVE BEEN YOU! SO YOU BETTER FALL IN LINE!”

While DJT may appear as a warrior to some, I would wager that he will definitely do exactly as he is told, should he re-president himself. Showing him a movie of a President being assassinated or an attempted assassination pales in the face of the real thing.

He now knows that someone could seriously take him out should the command come down. And that is very, very worrisome for what we are about to see DJT do if he is re-elected.

Okay, for folks who said there was no blood, in a flash I saw a cloth being placed on Trump’s ear. Here, in the video that Ryan is highlighting, I see it again. Ryan’s video starts at 1:40:47 in the Republic World video at this point 👇🏾

you can see the cloth clearly has blood on it. You have to slow it down to 0.5 speed to catch it because it moves quickly. Here’s the link to the photo on my google drive. You should be able to access it, if not, just send a request and I will release it to you.

Also, I will post it on my Twitter @nanabaakan just in case and as part of the research on this story. Here’s the link https://photos.app.goo.gl/1mbqPCqMR9JYQQ3o6

I always see these types of events where SS fall short, fail or stand down as a message to EVERYONE in government. Like with JFK, who also had an attempt assassination on his life, they tell them to tow the line or with just one word, everything can go south and you could end up dead. These type of psyops have so many prongs to it. It’s not just to scare us, but to scare THEM too because surely the most protected folks on the planet should not be hit by some dumb lone gunman. It was allowed to happen to drive home a BIG FAT MESSAGE. Do it our way, or next time we won’t miss, and that means all of you because we are hired assassins, we don’t care who we take out. Stuff like folks jumping over the white house wall with a gun, driving their car thru barricades around the white house, assassinations of PRESIDENTS, and on and on. It’s a way to keep them all in line, ALL OF THEM.  They all have paymasters.

How JFK Gave Us Donald J. Trump (Videos)

When image trumps ideology

I am reposting an article and my video commentary on this article written by Mr. Steven Watts, University of Missouri-Columbia , via the “Conversation” It’s a compelling comparison between JFK and Donald Trump. I can’t help but wonder if Mr. Watts could have even foresaw that his comparison would include an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, especially since it had also been reported that there had been an attempted assassination of JFK by Richard Paul Pavlick before he was actually assassinated at Dealey Plaza, November 22, 1963.

Steven Watts, University of Missouri-Columbia

Even at John F. Kennedy’s centennial on May 29, 2017, the 35th president remains an enigma. We still struggle to come to a clear consensus about a leader frozen in time – a man who, in our mind’s eye, is forever young and vigorous, cool and witty.

While historians have portrayed him as everything from a nascent social justice warrior to a proto-Reaganite, his political record actually offers little insight into his legacy. A standard “Cold War liberal,” he endorsed the basic tenets of the New Deal at home and projected a stern, anti-Communist foreign policy. In fact, from an ideological standpoint, he differed little from countless other elected officials in the moderate wing of the Democratic Party or the liberal wing of the Republican Party.

Much greater understanding comes from adopting an altogether different strategy: approaching Kennedy as a cultural figure. From the beginning of his career, JFK’s appeal was always more about image than ideology, the emotions he channeled than the policies he advanced.

Generating an enthusiasm more akin to that of a popular entertainer than a candidate for national office, he was arguably America’s first “modern” president. Many subsequent presidents would follow the template he created, from Republicans Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump to Democrats Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

A cultural icon

JFK pioneered the modern notion of the president as celebrity. The scion of a wealthy family, he became a national figure as a young congressman for his good looks, high-society diversions and status as an “eligible bachelor.”

He hobnobbed with Hollywood actors such as Frank Sinatra and Tony Curtis, hung out with models and befriended singers. He became a fixture in the big national magazines – Life, Look, Time, The Saturday Evening Post – which were more interested in his personal life than his political positions.

Later, Ronald Reagan, the movie actor turned politician, and Donald Trump, the tabloid fixture and star of “The Apprentice,” would translate their celebrity impulses into electoral success. Meanwhile, the saxophone-playing Bill Clinton and the smooth, “no drama” Obama – ever at ease on the talk show circuit – teased out variations of the celebrity role on the Democratic stage.

After Kennedy, it was the candidate with the most celebrity appeal who often triumphed in the presidential sweepstakes.

A master of the media

Kennedy also forged a new path with his skillful utilization of media technology. With his movie-star good looks, understated wit and graceful demeanor, he was a perfect fit for the new medium of television.

He was applauded for his televised speeches at the 1956 Democratic convention, and he later prevailed in the famous television debates of the 1960 presidential election. His televised presidential press conferences became media works of art as he deftly answered complex questions, handled reporters with aplomb and laced his responses with wit, quoting literary figures like the Frenchwoman Madame de Staël.

John F. Kennedy gave the first live televised presidential press conference in history on Jan. 25, 1961. AP


Two decades later, Reagan proved equally adept with television, using his acting skills to convey an earnest patriotism, while the lip-biting Clinton projected the natural empathy and communication skills of a born politician. Obama’s eloquence before the cameras became legendary, while he also became an early adopter of social media to reach and organize his followers.

Trump, of course, emerged from a background in reality television and adroitly employed Twitter to circumvent a hostile media establishment, generate attention and reach his followers.

The vigorous male

Finally, JFK reshaped public leadership by exuding a powerful, masculine ideal. As I explore in my book, “JFK and the Masculine Mystique: Sex and Power on the New Frontier,” he emerged in a postwar era colored by mounting concern over the degeneration of the American male. Some blamed the shifting labor market for turning men from independent, manual laborers into corpulent, desk-bound drones within sprawling bureaucracies. Others pointed to suburban abundance for transforming men into diaper-changing denizens of the easy chair and backyard barbecue. And many thought that the advancement of women in the workplace would emasculate their male coworkers.

Enter Jack Kennedy, who promised a bracing revival of American manhood as youthful and vigorous, cool and sophisticated.

In his famous “New Frontier” speech, he announced that “young men are coming to power – men who are not bound by the traditions of the past – young men who can cast off the old slogans and delusions and suspicions.”

In a Sports Illustrated article titled “The Soft American,” he advocated a national physical fitness crusade. He endorsed a tough-minded realism to shape the counterinsurgency strategies that were deployed to combat Communism, and he embraced the buccaneering style of the CIA and the Green Berets. He championed the Mercury Seven astronauts as sturdy, courageous males who ventured out to conquer the new frontier of space.

JFK’s successors adopted many of these same masculine themes. Reagan positioned himself as a manly, tough-minded alternative to a weak, vacillating Jimmy Carter. Clinton presented himself as a pragmatic, assertive, virile young man whose hardscrabble road to success contrasted with the privileged, preppy George H.W. Bush. Obama impressed voters as a vigorous, athletic young man who scrimmaged with college basketball teams – a contrast to the cranky, geriatric John McCain and a stiff, pampered Mitt Romney.

More recently, of course, Trump’s outlandish masculinity appealed to many traditionalists unsettled by a wave of gender confusion, women in combat, weeping millennial “snowflakes” and declining numbers of physically challenging manufacturing jobs in the country’s post-industrial economy. No matter how crudely, the theatrically male businessman promised a remedy.

So as we look back at John F. Kennedy a century after his birth, it seems ever clearer that he ascended the national stage as our first modern president. Removed from an American political tradition of grassroots electioneering, sober-minded experience and bourgeois morality, this youthful, charismatic leader reflected a new political atmosphere that favored celebrity appeal, media savvy and masculine vigor. He was the first American president whose place in the cultural imagination dwarfed his political positions and policies.
Just as style made the man with Kennedy, it also remade the American presidency. It continues to do so today.

He Called The Dog Habibi, by Caitlin Johnstone

Hey You Guys, It's Time for An I Ching Workshop

Time For A Deep Dive Into Some Current Issues

It’s been a while since we put our heads together to do a deep dive into what’s been happening in our world. As users of the I Ching (Ancient Chinese Oracle), we know that straight up, the I Ching don’t lie.

We’ve experienced it in our own lives and we have credible evidence that the I Ching can also point us towards events that are happening in our outer world.

We’ve looked at several events, The Mass Shooting at the Orlando Night Club. The Corona Virus so called pandemic. The deaths of George Floyd, Erick Garner, Prince and Ma’Khia Bryant as to the significance of their life beyond the media hype.

I have independently look into the events surrounding Dr. Sebi, Prince, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Michelle Obama, and a host of other events that seemed to have caused astonishment, concern, but mostly rivaling opinions of “What Really Happened and Why?”

We have seen over and over and over again, that the I Ching tends to steer us away from our “personal” opinions into a realm that is definitely beyond the veil. With that being said (oh how I wish I could coin another phrase, but so be it) I think it’s time to do another deep dive before the world gets away with us and we end up going down a deeper and deeper and deeper, rabbit hole.

Here are some topics that we will begin to cover as I am certainly open to many more.

  1. Donald Trump’s Attempted Assassination

  2. President Joe Biden, Health & Body Doubles

  3. War in Gaza

  4. War in Ukraine

  5. Climate Change

  6. WEF, World Economic Forum

  7. Future of the Fiat Dollar

REGISTRATION BEGINS NOW!

WORKSHOPS BEGIN JULY 27, 2024

Here are some suggestions that I wish to offer you.

  1. I will need at least 5 attendees for the workshop to be held. So please respond to this newsletter in the comment section to confirm you’ll be there. Or email me directly at metaphysicalnana@gmail.com. Be sure to let me know which workshop topic you want to sign up for.

  2. Workshop topics will be done in the order of popularity. For example, the more people who sign up will determine the order in which the topics will be covered. There is no limit on the number of attendees, so folks can always join later.

  3. Each topic listed above will be covered in two (2) workshops. Then we will move on to the next topic. I will be sure to send out a calendar and updates so folks can be aware of how the workshops are progressing so keep an eye on your emails.

  4. Workshops will be held on Saturdays from 6pm to 8PM and Sundays from 4PM to 6PM. Taking into account that previously evening workshops during the week, were hard for some folks, I’m thinking that weekends would be a better option for everyone.

We will take one topic at a time and cover it in 2 workshop sessions. Participants can go deeper if they wish on their own if we don’t cover all the questions that may come to mind. Or we can reschedule a follow up workshop at a later date if necessary.

I ask for a Love Offering of $35 (2 workshops) $20 per single workshop. Love Offerings can be sent in a variety of ways. **LOVE OFFERING MUST BE SENT IN ADVANCE OF THE WORKSHOPS** SEE LINKS BELOW OR USE THE QR CODE. After the Love Offering is received participants will receive a unique Zoom link via email for each workshop topic. Be sure to specify what workshop you are signing up for!!

HEY YOU GUYS, WE GOTTA CHECK OUT WHAT’S GOING ON. IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE HEADED FOR A WHOLE LOT OF SHAKING AND THE BEST WAY TO BE PREPARED, FORWARNED & FORARMED IS TO GET GUIDANCE FROM THE I CHING.

Thoughts Are Things

Things Are Thoughts

THOUGHTS ARE THINGS

Channeled on 6-10-2011
Today, I was extremely sleepy and so I took a very long nap in the middle of the afternoon. While sleeping it seemed I was getting information about the topic “Thoughts Are Things” but when I finally woke up, I could only remember a stream or two from the dream. I decided to approach getting more details by constructing a set of questions and allowing my inner voice to fill in the blanks for me.

Thoughts are things:
In the Divine Frequency of Love and Light, we extend these questions in a humble ritual of seeking further knowledge, wisdom and clarity. We are grateful for your responses in advance, we thank you. We are certain that we will receive what is needed for us to receive in this time/space reality.

Q. Imagine: Thoughts are things. What does that mean?
A. Everything that is seen or unseen, heard and unheard, felt and unfelt is a manifestation of THOUGHT. Simply put, the things that you manipulate in your world, all began with a thought, a vision, an image in the ethereal world or the ethereal dimension that surrounds your world, your reality. If you approach the THINGS that you utilize each day, from the tiniest to the largest and remind yourself, that it came to some entity in the form of a thought, picture or image, that was later made to manifest in 3d creation it will help to see how THOUGHTS become THINGS.

Now if you can extend that process to the Creation of the Universe, then you will be more able to see how the Universe started off as thought and then that thought became manifest in all of Creation.

Human beings on this planet limit themselves in the sight of Infinite Creation by becoming overwhelmed by its magnitude. However, if they would simply realize their own magnificence in the Creation it would be much easier for them to fathom their relationship with Infinite Creation, that began with THOUGHT.

Q. Does it mean they are tangible things that we can see, touch, taste and smell?
A. Yes, they are all of these things and much more. Why do we say much more? Because in your reality, there is much more that is unseen than is seen due the frequency of the 3 density/frequency reality. Cultivation of SIGHT in the 3rd density/frequency requires time spent seeing past the physical reality.

Q. How do you spend time seeing past the physical reality?
A. In the realization that all is consciousness, you will begin to approach all that you see as a manifestation of consciousness. Consciousness is not tangible in 3rd density reality. It is like the wind, the air, space. However, in 5th density and beyond the consciousness can be manipulated by thought and moved through stages of density from the concrete to the penetrable.

Q. Does it mean they are things that we can mold and shape to do our bidding?
A. It means that if you penetrate the consciousness of a thing, then you can move that thing, mold it or shape it. It will not do your bidding without being united with you in your consciousness and then asked to achieve a certain outcome. This is not to say, that this manipulation cannot be done without the assistance of that which is being manipulated, it is just to say, it is a violation of the consciousness of the other, to manipulate it without permission. Example: you may want to move all of the furniture out of your house and take it to another house. If you ask the house you are removing the furniture from, if you ask the furniture that you are removing and then ask the new location to receive this shipment of furniture, you are in alignment with the consciousness of both houses and the furniture. If you do not, then you are out of alignment and various so-called mishaps may occur along the way. I.E. things may break, be lost, flat tire (of course you must ask the vehicle to cooperate with the move as well), etc. Many of you just assume that when these things happens it is because of carelessness or some various other reasons. However, if you take the time to acknowledge the consciousness of all you interact with, you may find some amazing results happening. The act of being conscious and sharing consciousness with the instruments in your world, will heighten your ability to manipulate these instruments provided you have made contact. How often, out of utter frustration, you start to talk to the instrument invoking its cooperation???

Q. Does it mean that they are the masters or we are the Creators?
A. Thoughts and things cooperate and manifest creations, or phenomenon or as some may say, miracles. Miracles happen because there is no separation between thoughts and things, neither is Master or Creator without the other.

Q. Where are these thoughts?
A. Thoughts are in the same place where things are. All thoughts are things all things are thoughts. So, you can see this further if you begin to see the “things” around you as “thoughts”. Thoughts + Things = Creations. Some Creations manifest in physicality others are non-physical. Example: the inventor or Magician as it were, or Creator may have had many thoughts about many things that they wanted to bring to physicality or instrumentation but did not. 3rd density reality, would assume that those thoughts/things no longer exist because there is no physical manifestation of them. However, since thoughts/things are limitless they can be perceived by another Magician/Creator who may then be able to manifest them in 3d physicality. This is the significator of 3d physicality. Thus the saying, “There is nothing new under the sun.”

impactful throughout person’s life in 3rd density physicality.

Dreams come from the realm of 4th & 5th density. Dreams can be manipulated in these densities if the dreamer makes intention to do so. This intention puts the dreamer in alignment with 4th-5th densities allowing the dreamer the ability to manipulate the unseen in 4th-5th density. Imagine, if you will, that a child can only perceive things from a certain perspective, that being thru the eyes of a child. Once the child becomes an adult, they are able to see beyond the child’s perspective and are able to manipulate the reality around the child, making the child think that the adult is “magical” when in fact, it is just that the child was not able to see what the adult could. The same thing applies to 3rd density reality, it cannot perceive what is happening in 4th-5th density reality, therefore, it will deny its existence, ignore it, etc. until such time as a nightmare awakens the individual and changes its life forever.

Q. Do they live in the ether or just in our heads?
A. They live/exist everywhere. Ether is a term you use to explain the unseen. The unseen is only unseen due to your perspective and density. Beyond 3rd density physicality, many things are seen. Some of you speak of seeing auras, ghosts, ufo’s, deceased relatives, etc. While these entities cannot be physically perceived in 3rd density, they are perceived by the higher densities and can also be manipulated from the higher density realms. If you imagine that you are surrounded by things/thoughts by the instruments in your 3rd density vision, taken a step further, you are surrounded by things/thoughts that have no beginning and no end, they are infinite.

Q. What is that place in the brain that holds thoughts?
A. The brain does not house thoughts. It interprets the frequency of thoughts and therefore may be able to create images/things that these thoughts imply. And even in this case, due to the neurological character of this type of interpretation/communication between that which the brain receives as frequency impulses, the brain simply applies or extends impulses/frequencies that are/can be interpreted as thoughts.

Example, if a 3rd density individual is in a dangerous area, it may perceive the danger through a variety of frequency indicators that will alert the 3rd density individual that it is in danger. From there the 3rd density individual may use its ability to interpret/imagine what the danger is, and conclude any number of indicators that it will use to ascertain what exactly the danger is. In fact, if the thought/thing of danger had been left behind by another entity, and since thoughts/things are everywhere, the individual entering that time/space may feel it is directly related to them, when in fact, it was left behind by another. In this vein, it is extremely important to be able to sort through the frequency indicators to determine, which thoughts/things are self-generated or imposed by an outside source. In the case of a paranoid individual, it is quite possible, that if the frequency of another’s fears were arrested from the paranoid individual, they may indeed be cured of this and find the peace within that had been usurped by another’s thought/things.

The pineal gland in the brain, is the base or interpreter of these impulses. It can coordinate these impulses into a steady stream outward or it can send this information into the physical body, causing other neurological changes in the physical body, i.e. fright/flight syndrome.

Q. Is it a certain portion/segment of the brain? If you cut it out, would folks not be able to think?
A. That is an interesting question. The assumption is that the brain is needed to think. Since thoughts are things and things are thoughts this implies a level of consciousness. Therefore, even an unconscious person or lobotomized person can employ the thought/thing processes in the brain. As stated, the brain receives frequency impulses. As long as there are frequency impulses, there is thinking. The idea, that the thinker need to be able to express what it is thinking is a misnomer. If the individual has made conscious connection with thoughts/things, then it can manipulate, move and change its reality as adeptly as another. Example, a lost individual thrust from a vehicle in a severe accident may be able to find their way “home” if enough thoughts/things were projected towards it and then direct that individual home. The individual, may awaken having no idea how he/she got there, but was manipulated through frequency/impulse control, presumably by their loved ones. This is a very fundamental example, but it is key in understanding, that the brain, while appearing inoperable is still able to receive frequency/impulses and respond to them by sending the information throughout the body, causing the body to respond without conscious effort on the part of the individual.

However, if the pineal gland is removed, many other functions of the body would shut down. The brain would continue to receive frequency/impulses but would have difficulty translating the information.

Q. Can thoughts be removed and replaced with other thoughts?
A. Thoughts can be manipulated. They can be muted but never removed. When muted the other thoughts of another can take hold and become the indicators of the individual thought processes. For example, thoughts of fear can be muted and replaced with thoughts of love. While the thoughts of love may prevail, the thoughts of fear have not been erased or eradicated.

Q. Can we think more than one thought at a time?
A. Another interesting question. In 3rd density reality, you have been taught that only one thing can occupy space at one time. Therefore, it is believed that no two things can exist simultaneously in the same space at the same time. What is left out of this equation is the fact that there are non-physical things that can exist all around the physicality at the same time. Inside and outside of the physicality. This idea gives 3rd density reality a linear vision of itself and its world. Creating a chasm between it and others. Thoughts are things, things are thoughts.. Just in that point, we see two things occupying the same time/space at the same time. The idea that only one can persists, removes the 3rd density individual from its Creator/Creative reality causing it to sink into a more concretized view of its reality.

For 3rd density physicality, it may appear that this is the way it is. But when 3rd density ascends to 4th-5th density reality, many thoughts/things happen all at the same time. Entities from the so-called unperceived realms exists in the same reality as 3rd density physicality. They simply are not perceived. The invasion that took place on your planet many thousands of years ago created this mindset because in order for the invaders to prevail, they had to remove those who were already here. Since this has happened over thousands upon thousands of years, it is written in the 3rd density conscript that no two things can occupy the same space at the same time. That is to say, that no two 3rd density objects can occupy the same space at the same time. The concept of infusion, emergence, singularity vs plurality, light vs dark, and other instances of domination over others has removed the idea of co-existence.

Third density reality is emptied from the realization that there are many things existing at the same time/space. That is the indicator of 3rd density reality. If it is physical, it is taking up physical space, therefore it cannot co-exist with another physical entity. There is no emergence, infusion or co-existence. There is only light or dark. In reality darkness is light and light is darkness, each containing the potentiality of the other. There is no light without darkness, there is no darkness without light. In the creation of this Universe it was not until there was the separation, light from dark, dark from light, that there was distinction. Before this distinction there was only VOID. Complete, united, full and always entirely itself. Within the void, the germination began. In the germination the rest of creation appeared, all from VOID.

So, yes, more than one thought can be perceived at one time. The perceiver can chose to entertain one thought or many thoughts. Singularity creates limitations on expansion. It also stresses linear thinking. Imagine, within a single seed is the potential of many expressions, leaf, stem, root, etc. If the single seed focuses solely on becoming a root, then the rest of the plant would not become. Creation is becoming and the ability to manipulate reality through thoughts/things manifestation all at once.

This is why human beings on your planet have difficulty with the idea of limitlessness, no time. You are trained that there is a beginning and an end, therefore you see progression of Creation as a singular occurrence, or an occurrence that comes step by step, in a linear fashion, one after the other. In fact, in the Universal sense, all things are at the same time happening together. Why? Because it is all Consciousness and Consciousness has no end no beginning. It is!! Always!! Forever!!

Q. If thoughts are ubiquitous, then where are they?
A. Thoughts are everywhere, all at the same time, with no constraints on their whereaboutness. Again, your planet has many limitations as a 3rd density manifestation, therefore, its inhabitants are struck with the belief that if something is there, it should be perceived and have a place of dwelling. This is only true on 3rd density planets like yours and others in the Cosmos.

Q. Can someone steal your thoughts and save them or store them for themselves?
A. This is impossible, for the simple reason that thoughts are everywhere, thus they cannot be stolen. They can be accessed. An individual can say, “I thought of that first.” But they are merely expressing that they came to mention those words before another. The thought/things exist, whether they are perceived or not perceived. It is Creation, it is boundless Creation, it is everywhere, where there is anything, at all. In fact, one person can have a thought/thing perception on one side of your planet (or off planet as it were) and another, from the opposite side of the planet can perceive it, can mention it, or can manifest it.

Reflect on this. There is a frequency that is surrounding your planet at this time. It is concerned with maintaining control over the masses. It has developed mind control techniques to capture thoughts/things in its frequency belt. It spreads these “captured” thoughts around your planet/globe. It releases it to be absorbed by your populous. Two things are being missed in this experiment.
1. Thoughts cannot be captured, therefore they are actually manipulating frequency in the outer fields, with the perception that they are capturing thoughts/things.
2. This manipulation is felt universally, since thoughts are everywhere. Then it is being perceived universally as an affront to the free will of the individuals of your planet who were given Free Will. The manipulators who secretly attempt to manipulate human beings on your planet are in full view of all others who can see their tricks.

In the mundane sense it may be perceived as though someone has stolen your thoughts, saved them or stored them for themselves. But in 3rd density reality, this is the only case where an individual can mistake this type of theft or forgery. Since all is everything, and everything is all, no one thought belongs to another as opposed to it belonging to someone else. What is true is the individual’s ability to receive the frequency impulse, transmute the frequency impulse and manifest that impulse into some physicality. In this way, it could be perceived as stolen, or stored, but this is a misnomer. How can anyone steal Creation?

Q. Is thinking a passive or active action?
A. Thinking is whatever you want/wish it to be. If you choose to be active participant in your thoughts, then so be it. If you choose to watch your thoughts pass by without response or analysis, then so be it.

Q. What about positive thinking?
A. Positive thinking is another very unrealistic prescription that has been put upon your peoples. What is that? How does that work? Too often your people are told to only think positive thoughts and then you will manage any life crisis that comes along. This leads you to polarization and away from balance. When you are in balance, you understand that positive and negative co-exist in the same reality. You cannot live a life devoid of negativity, nor can you live a life full of positivity. They react to and on one another. Since negativity is so prominent on your planet, many are feverishly attempting to change it, create balance, by ignoring it. Negativity is as much a part of Creation as Positivity. Polarization to either side is not balance. Both must be understood and functioning in a balanced way in order to achieve optimum success on one’s spiritual journey.

Q. What about visualizations?
A. Visualizations are imaginings. Imaginings are things. Things are Creations. Creations are thoughts. However, visualization without the power to manifest the visualization in one’s existence is child’s play, as perceived by those in higher dimensions. If you are visualizing, but you are not doing it as a Creator, then you have an image. An image that may well be perceived by another, and manifested in their life, as they had the skills/tools to manifest it in physicality. So, what you want along with visualization is the complete process of thoughts + things= Creation. if you are Creating, you must see yourself as a Creator. If you see yourself as a Creator – you must see yourself as Co-Creating in the Creation process of the entire Universe, that has never stopped creating itself. You must see yourself as the Creator/Magician/Phenomenal Being that you are.

Seeing yourself at a new job, on vacation, in school, passing a major test, having five children, is a subjective visualization. Here you are not utilizing your innate Creative powers, but waiting for the vision to “show up” at your door. It will not simply show up, it must be commanded to manifest. The Word must be given, this will be! As Co-Creator with all of the Universe, this Visualization will manifest in this 3rd density reality. Now you are actively participating in the manifestation of this visualization. You are Co-Creating your reality. This is done with intense focus, and concentrated thought. However, desire is needed to manifest and must be clear and sure. Desire is the motivating energy behind the manifestation of a thought. Desire is the motivating force that empowers thought through to manifestation. Desire must be directly clearly upon the thought/thing with the intent to bring it to manifestation. Thus another element is added, intention. All of this removes you from a spectator to a Do-er, Creator, Co-Creator.

Many may visualize and wonder why nothing happens. There may be several reasons for this.
1. Lack of true desire or intent
2. Self-doubt or loathing
3. Karmic obstructions
4. Fear of success
5. Fear of responsibility

Q. What about visions?
A. Visions are the manifestation of unseen reality into the 3rd density reality. An individual may “pick up” a vision in passing, or may be an adept at seeing into the other worlds. They may be portends of coming situations, or they may simply be the formation of a being/situation not seen by the physical eye. They may come in dreams, day dreams or during waking activities. Some may be called de ja vu.

Q. Dreams?
A. Dreams are messengers from the soul, or they are the soul’s travel through the dimensions 4-5th. Dreams also travel across timelines. They have their own laws and do not subscribe to the laws of waking reality. Dreams are thoughts/things.

Q. Intuition? Are they thoughts?
A. Intuition is also thought/things. They too are manifested from the frequency impulses coming into the pineal gland and are transmuted. They may be transmuted into images, feelings, perceptions, reactions and other impulses, stimulated by the reaction of the nervous system throughout the body.

Q. Can two people think the same thought at the same time? Or is it just an interpretation of sameness?
A. Since thoughts are everywhere, two people can indeed have the same thought at the same time, in any locale. It is the perception of the thought, the transmuting of the thought and the manifestation of the thought into physicality or thing(s) that determines whether it was the same thought. For example, perception, conditioning and training can effect the manifestation or expression of the thought. While in its purity it is the same, coming through the lens of each individual determines the outcome of its manifestation/expression.

Q. How can one master their thinking?
A. Mastering thinking takes conscious effort on the part of the Thinker. The thinker must know that its thoughts are things, and there is no separation between them. It must know that thoughts/things have always the potential to manifest as creations therefore it must be contemplated, “Is this thought/thing something that I wish to manifest/express?” If the answer is yes, than the thinker can go through the above mentioned steps to bring it to manifestation. If the answer is “no” then the thinker can decide to “mute” the thought/thing. One must remember that a muted thought/thing does not disappear. It is only inoperable in the reality of the said thinker. It can easily be “picked up” by another being or entity.

Q. What is the purpose of being a Master of your own thoughts?
A. The purpose of Mastering your own thoughts is to exercise ones Divine Will Power and Creative Co-Creative ability. Third density beings are programmed to believe that everything around them was Created by an outside force or being or entity, or God as you use this term so loosely. A Master of His/Her thoughts realizes that they are in constant commune with the All and are constantly present in the Creative Co-Creative Consciousness process.

Q. How do thoughts become things?
A. Thoughts do not become things, Thoughts are things, things are thoughts. If you wish to know how thoughts become things manifested in your 3rd density reality, then that is a different question and has been answered already. But to re-iterate.. it is through concentrated thought, intention, desire that thoughts become manifested things in the 3rd density physicality, like your car, your computer, your books, your buildings, etc. Each and all began as a thought, that manifested through concentrated thought, intention, desire into things in your 3rd density  Physicality.

Unfortunately, being so locked into 3rd density physicality, it is hard for you to fathom something happening out of thin air, as it were, without some physical thing making it happen. That is what has retarded your growth on this planet in the realm of Thought Forms and Things Manifestations/Creations/Phenomenon. Third density was not given the sight to see beyond the physical. It was given the potential to see. This potential is there in deep meditation. Transcendence beyond the physical constraints connects the consciousness of the meditator to the world and universe and everything in it. It gives the meditator the tool needed to get a glimpse of how the Universe was Created and offers the meditator an opportunity to Create its own Universe. Or at best, understand more deeply the Universe that it already is.

Q. What about the thoughts a person had years ago?
A. Thoughts that were perceived years ago, may manifest years later as tangible 3rd density things. And sometimes this may happen without the awareness of the Thinker. In a fit of passion the Thinker may have intended that its abuser burn in hell. Later in life, they may find that the hell manifested itself in the house of the abuser burning down to the ground while the abuser was inside. Here is where the danger lies.

Your planet was a thought in the Mind of the Creator Gods who consulted with one another as to how they would want to do this. When the regressive entities wanted to have a part in this process they were told they could not be a part of it. In essence, they were not allowed to project their thoughts into the plans of the initial Creator Gods. Crestfallen, these regressive entities devised a plan that would penetrate the initial Creation of your planet, and planted seed thoughts that would germinate over time, to create much of the chaos you see today. Because the initial planners were more focused on positive outcomes of their ingenious plan, they did not have a plan of how to work with predatory entities, regressives and the like. They seeded the planet and went on to other planets in their realms of Creation, leaving Earth with what you may call, a side-bar. Over time, those thoughts that were seeded into the Realm of Earth’s Creation began to grow, and overtime, they created opportunity for other regressive entities to implant their thoughts/things frequencies in the Realm of Earth’s Creation.

Earth was not a planet during that time as you know it today. Earth was of a much higher vibration but descended to lower more concrete vibration after the many invasions it was subjected to. It was the original plan for Earth to be a Beautiful Garden of Enjoyment for Stellar travelers over millions of years. But over time, it descended because of the regressive thoughts that were seeded into it. These thoughts provided the electromagnetic consequence for mind control and manipulation and ignorance of the life on this planet. Fortunately, in a short while this veil will be lifted, but the battle for the mind is very intense, and the thoughts of old are resurfacing to re-establish its dominion.

Q. What about implantation, voluntarily? A. Thoughts can be presented as implantations, however, they are merely catalysts for the thoughts that were already there, and muted. Since thoughts/things are everywhere, there is no new thought, there is only the replication of other thoughts. It is the consciousness of the individual who can remedy this situation. They can receive these thoughts and claim them as their own, or they can mute them, knowing they are there, but have decided not to participate in them.. During these times of mind control, it is very important to explore the thoughts as to their ability to move an individual forward. If these thoughts moves a person to action that is destructive then it is not of benefit to them. Thoughts that suggest physical action are lower level thoughts as they do not invite the individual to utilize its innate power of actualization and manifestation through thought. Again, we mention how one can have a thought in a fit of passion and walk away from it, never realizing that the potential for the manifestation is very, very high. For example, humans like to claim each other in fits of passion particularly while having sexual relations… Then after some time, especially if the relationship does not work out, they wonder why they are still so inexorably attached to the other person. Thoughts are things, things are thoughts.

Q. How does one use thoughts to change their reality?
A. If you realize that thoughts are things and things are thoughts, then focus on changing these thoughts and having them manifest as Co-Creation in commune with all of Creation, the reality around the individual can change. However, it must be done clearly and succinctly for best results.

Q. How does one use thoughts to master their reality?
A. This question has already been answered in the above transmission.

Q. How does one use thoughts to bring things they want or need to them?
A. This question has also been answered. But we must add that caution as to what one may want or need be brought to them. In too many circumstances individuals in 3rd density are seeking material wealth and gain, and not realizing that this materialism is the major stumbling block for them to attain higher levels of consciousness. But again, the Master of His/Her thoughts will utilize their power for whatever benefit that is seen by them, for whatever manifestation that may come to them. Thus being the Master, makes one responsible for the outcome and/or manifestation of their own desires.

Q. What is concentrated thought?
A. Concentrated thought is manipulation of various thoughts into one modality of expression. It is like pooling resources to one’s attempt towards manifestation. If this pooling is variable, then the thought is not concentrated but carries all manner of interferences that can compromise the desired effect.

Q. Is that possible to concentrate on one thing?
A. Concentrating on one thing/thought is irrational. Because thoughts are things and things are thoughts, to choose one thing is to deny other things. It is best to compile many things into one thing, then to separate many things into counter or undermining modality. What we mean by this, is that it is foolish to believe that one thing exists without any other thing. All things/thoughts exist together. The focus of thoughts/things for manifestation is the initial intent. But one must understand that the manifestation may contain things that were not consciously perceived. Therefore, the manifestation/Creation will include many possibilities, many opportunities and many outcomes.

Third density physicality, wants to concentrate on burning a bush, but forgets that the burning of a bush will incite other reactions in the area or locale, i.e., a forest fire. Adding to this is the naivete that only one thing/thought exists. If in bringing something to manifestation with the intent to bring no harm, there is the benefit of conscious Creation without detrimental incidences happening, however, even in this, the detrimental incidences are there, whether perceived or not perceived. One cannot, does not exist without the other.

Q. What are counter thoughts?
A. Counter thoughts are thoughts. In the perceiver they can be for the benefit of the perceiver or not. Example, a perceiver, may perceive the thought/thing to kill another. While in the midst of this thought another thought comes in to spare the person’s life. While it is contrast to the original thought, it in and of itself saves a life, therefore, counter thoughts can be seen as alternate thoughts/things for a particular reality at a particular time/space.

Q. Should one protect their thoughts?
A. Since thoughts are things and things are thoughts, and thoughts/things are everywhere so to attempt to protect them may be futile. However, one can determine which thoughts/things one wishes to engage in and from there determine their impact or manifestation.

Q. Is that possible to be assailed by the thoughts of another?
A. It is possible to have the thoughts/things of another to awaken latent/muted thoughts one has entertained in one’s one mind, heart, spirit. Thoughts/things are instruments, they have no value, positive or negative. They exist. They are everywhere. It is the individual who gives credence or difference to them. If other thoughts come into the mind of an individual, who feels they are not their own, they are correct, because thoughts/things do not belong to anyone. They are in existence and that is all. If the perceiver finds certain thoughts/things uncomfortable for them, they can simply mute them and enjoy other thoughts/things. However, they must remember that muted thoughts are not dead thoughts and that at any time, they may be awaken. In finality, it is the option of the individual to act upon these thoughts/things or refrain from acting on them. They exist, they are forever, they are everywhere. They are manifestations of consciousness.

Q. Does thinking require intelligence?
A. No it does not. What is intelligence? The ability to understand difficult scientific principles, or the ability to understand a person’s connection to all things?? Third density individuals, place higher value on what an individual can regurgitate than in how an individual can connect to Infinite Consciousness. In connecting or being a part of Infinite Consciousness one is thinking. Whether they are graduates from an esteem college or university or a simple person living in a secluded village. What shows more intelligence, killing for the sake of conquest and dominance over others: or killing just enough to feed a family?

A Single Lie Discovered Is Enough To Create Doubt In Every Truth Expressed.

This always amazed me, why does one lie have so much weight over many truths?

It is quite curious.

And it happens all the time, especially in relationships.

Are we humans so distrusting that it takes only a single lie to destroy all the trust we ever had in a person or situation?

Or does it go deeper than that?

Do we not trust from the beginning and only need one lie to fulfill the prophesy that someone is gonna deceive us.

Rumble Link: https://rumble.com/v56cjsi-a-single-lie-discovered-is-enough-to-create-doubt-in-every-truth-expressed.html

Or is it the fact that when we are children growing up,  we learn about the lies our parents told us from the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, and the Easter bunny, and so forth.

Do we as children, come to realize that we cannot trust anyone, not even our own parents? 

Does Mass media have anything to do with perpetrating the lie, from the simple thing of misrepresenting the weather report?

What about the outside world, the governments that control and dominates its citizens?

Is it true that we should go on the green and stop on the red, when in fact, the color red is a hot color and has an effect on our adrenaline output.

Why do they tell us that green trees and grass have a calming effect yet demand that we be aggressive and race thru the green light? And why is this happening all over the globe?

Does changing the time on the clocks twice a year give us inkling that we may be being lied to because the time we see is not really the time that it is, and then again, what is time?

Change Your Clocks

Does the idea of the rich get richer and the poor get poorer in a capitalistic world make sense to those who work really, really hard and still live from check to check, while the rich seem to do much of nothing?

Does the fact that we cannot chastise our children for fear of reprisal from the government, while the government can beat, rob, kill and steal from our children.

Does the notion that our water filled with fluoride is good for us and crops sprayed with  pesticides and McDonald’s is healthy have anything to do with the fact that we’ve been lied to consistently.

Is it just that “one” lie or the many lies we live with day to day, causing cognitive dissonance that the “one” lie that causes a paradigm shift is so massive it has to be seen for what it is, a blatant lie.

Do we take the risk to discover all the other lies, lined up in history books, in magazines and even historical documents.. Or do we just say, that one lie is big enough and go on believing all the other lies?

Is this systemic to certain cultures, that is, those cultures that build trust in its members from childhood can pardon, tolerate and excuse mistakes or one simple lie, as opposed to cultures who start their youth off with a lie, or trauma, like circumcision for instance.

To insist that you are free but are locked into paying taxes, adhering to laws, some not even known till they are broken, and living under a chemical cloud that you have no control over, seems to be a big lie that everyone should pay attention to.

Is it okay to enforce laws that normalize abhorrent behavior? Or better yet, excuse those with white collars who participate in these behaviors, and in the same breath say, “liberty and justice for all”

Cultures that nurture fear, trauma, disappointment abandonment, deceit, etc, straight out the womb, are actually built on a web of lies, so I think from time to time that “one” lie may have an impact, then folks just go back to living in their delusions because the “real” lie is to preposterous to even be considered.

So I guess, I sorta answered my own question.

I am an Angel, I have always been,

But now you can see my wings.

I am an Angel, I have always been,

But now you can see my wings.

I am an Angel, I have always been,

But now you can hear me sing.

I am an Angel, I have always been,

But now you can truly understand,

That being an Angel goes beyond being a mortal man.

It goes to the heart of all you know and reaches out with kindness.

It fills the caverns of the unknown,

Without boundaries and blindness.

It sings songs of peace in war,

And songs of joy in sorrow.

It moves through closed doors,

Bringing light of each tomorrow.

It is not concerned with your mistakes,

But what you strive to do

It knows in God’s eyes all are great,

The many and the few.

It lifts the burdens, and calms the hurried,

Ands springs into action when needed.

It leaves no ego debt behind rankled and conceited.

It stretches out beyond the possible

Extended love and peace to the vulnerable

It is what we all are, what we all can come to know

It is why we are here, all Angels in God’s Glow.

I am an Angel, I have always been,

But now you can understand

That being an Angel goes beyond being a mortal man.

Excerpt from "My Poetry, My Past and I"

by Mad Poet n Exile

Excerpt from “My Poetry, My Past and I”

by Mad Poet n Exile

Thanks for reading Think Outside the Box! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

“The world is poetry. Everything that exists in it, on it, under it, over it or around it can be reduced to neat lines of language. You can even make the lines uneven if you don’t like neat. The words need not necessarily be in lines. You may prefer to count syllables or just write words that have a balance or beauty when written together. I have heard it said that poetry begins in the bowels of man. I once wrote that must be the reason some of it really stinks. Some of my own poetry was included in that statement. I like to write rhyme, personally. Yes, I know there are only several words that rhyme with love. I learned that when I was about eleven, around the same time I learned love sucks. I have no need to rhyme the word with anything; I have come to the conclusion there is neither rhyme nor reason to match the phenomenon of human love. I may write about the loss or lack or resulting nightmares of it, but you can shove love.

The world is full of poets. From bathroom stalls to plaques on walls, you can find it everywhere. Everyone must be a poet. Some poets write only to relieve boredom, as they empty their bowels of both turds and words. The only difference between any poets is the passion which they feel for the art, if it can be called that anymore. When I think of art, I picture galleries, paint, festivals and auctions. Poetry makes me think of quiet times pondering the human experience. Sometimes the words are angry and loud, pouring onto the page in a wild torrent of rage. Other times they are gentle and more like a soft rain, helping flowers to grow. There is a need in me to scribble clever words on paper, pound sarcastical sense out of inane, insane humanity on a keyboard, describe things which it sometimes seems only I am able to see in the sky or on a fence or in a pool of water. It always makes me wonder, looking at other human beings watching clouds or birds, whether they are mentally writing poetry. I do it all the time. Everything I see, think, feel, smell, touch and hear has poetry written all over it. There is inspiration in rocks, rust, nails and dust. It’s silly, don’t you think, for a grown man to wander around this world with a rhyme on the tip of his tongue which will never be spoken, only relegated to the back of the mind for later discernment? Even when written, most will usually be read only by me, so why bother to scribble it on paper? It is silly, yet I cannot forestall the inevitability of writing it or feeling it.”

So to answer your question, “Everything makes a poet”.

The Great Replacement vs. Colonization

One of these things is not like the other

It seems like there is a huge topic around Immigration these days. The European nations are being overrun by immigrants from African nations and here in the US we see Africans, Chinese, South Americans, Mexicans, Haitians, etc. What I think is missing is the “BIG FAT ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM”.

Let us take a look at the European countries that colonized Africa for starters. This is quite an extensive list that sites the historical precedent for these colonies. List of European colonies in Africa. The question is, why did they do that? What was the main purpose for going into a land that was not theirs and taking it over.

Thanks for reading Think Outside the Box! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

Was it for the resources? Let us ponder upon that for just a moment.

Were they invited to come in and colonize? Let’s ponder that for another moment longer.

Were they well received? Again we can ponder more.

And when they did go there, did they have develop good relations with the indigenous or did they take over with the imposition of religion, military force, subjugation, intrigue, manipulation, facilitation of tribal wars and tyranny? Or did they gently sit down with the leaders of these countries and cut nice little deals for themselves where everyone was treated equally and therefore equally benefited?

Today, European nations feel threatened that they are being replaced. But how is this replacement taking place? Is it being done under the auspices of colonization or is it being done under the auspices of infiltration or is it simply a product of the havoc that colonization caused when they, centuries ago, stepped foot onto the African continent, a continent that still shows the impact of the destruction the European invasion caused to this very day in 2024.

What did the colonizers do in Africa? They claimed territories that were not theirs to begin with. They fought amongst themselves over who was the owner of what lands. Then they prescribe borders on their territories not taking into account the various clans and tribes that live there, causing societal strife and chaos. They imposed their language, religion, values, morals, sanctions, monetary systems, political systems and on and on. This resulted in the basic destabilization of many African countries trying to hold on to their indigenous rights and way of life.

Atlas of the colonization and decolonization of Africa – Vivid Maps

In 1870, only 10 percent of Africa was under European control. By 1914 it had risen to almost 90 percent of the continent, with only Ethiopia (Abyssinia), the Dervish state (present-day Somalia), and Liberia still being independent.

Over time, as one European country subjugated another the borders and all else changed causing even more destabilization among the African peoples. There are only a hand full of African countries who did not bare the brunt of the European incursion and as late as today, some are still suffering the impact of the European colonization of the African continent.

Case in point, you can actually determine what European country colonized what African country simply by the national language and the imposed names upon native lands that carry European names.

The utter castigation, transformation and denigration of the societies, long held before the European arrived, is testimony to the prevailing epoch of Empire building and its devastating impact it had on the indigenous people who lived there.

Of course Empire building is not exclusive to colonization by the European. That is not my point. My point is that when Europeans claim to being replaced by foreigners from other lands, are we not looking in the mirror? In fact, we are looking at bloody wars, the overtaking of economic structures, implantation of legal and societal structures, which can actually be considered to be a type of physical and cultural genocide of the indigenous people the European colonized on the African continent.

And let’s not stop there. Let’s take a look at how the European colonized North, Central and South America. European colonization of the Americas

We need only look back at what I’ve already sited, and apply it in exactly the same way as it was done in Africa. They found a land that wasn’t lost and fought over a land that wasn’t theirs. In fact, we can also add 2 more things to the list.

  1. the capturing of indigenous individuals from Africa to work and build the Americas.

  2. the importation of prisoners, dissidents, and heretics to the Americas to colonize the land.

Again we can see the influence of this process in the names, language, food, lifestyle, etc. that all bespeak the presence of Europeans in the Americas. Adding to that destabilization of North, Central & South America we see the European nations financially penalizing those they conquered when they attempted to free themselves from the grip of their colonizers. While folks are saying that the immigrants are criminals, we need only look at the strata of the European population that initially colonized the Americas to see the parallels. (When the shoe is on the other foot, it’s a tight squeeze.)

Of course the indigenous of all these lands had their disputes and tribal wars. But they were on their own turfs, they did not travel beyond their natural boundaries to colonize European countries. Okay, please do not fight me on this issue, I am aware of Hannibal and his trip across the Alps.

“In 218 BC, Hannibal attacked Saguntum (modern Sagunto, Spain), an ally of Rome, in Hispania, sparking the Second Punic War. Hannibal invaded Italy by crossing the Alps with North African war elephants.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal

I am aware of his influence in Spain & Italy to this day. What I am focusing on in this writing is the difference between European nations coming together to decide to take over lands beyond their borders, fighting amongst themselves who had true sovereignty over lands that were not theirs to begin with and how now they are feeling threatened that they will suffer the same outcome as the countries they colonized. You do not see African countries coming together to export their colonies into European lands. You do not see the masters of the seas fighting each other over who will master the seas and who will be the master of the Slavery industry.

What we do see, however, is a large number of displace peoples from destabilized colonized nations attempting to flee from the destruction that colonization placed upon them. Quite frankly, they are being incentivized by other Europeans to immigrate out of their native lands into the very land of their colonizers.

Think about how convoluted this process is. Does it not speak to the desire of the European to continue their manifest destiny at any cost, even at the cost of their own indigenous brothers and sisters.

So to me, the fact that Europeans are beginning to feel that they are being replaced by immigrants, shows a clear lack of a historical lens that would give them a deeper insight into what is truly happening here, and not the emotional rhetoric that they are being invaded and replaced.

In fact, it was the European who bought into the failed concept that the population of the earth was about to explode. It was they, who so took to heart this propaganda, that they willingly took the option of decreasing their family size to the point where they cannot replace themselves. Immigrant populations will only increase the indigenous populations by numbers, not by ethnicity. Africans will always be descendants from Africa and Europeans will always be descendants from Europe.

There are so many nuances to this immigration construct, too many to list here, but suffice it to say, that it is definitely part of a larger more global plan to destabilize the entire world, such that Global leadership will be needed to quell the chaos. Deep in the hearts of these manipulators lies the idea of conquering the entire world by any means necessary. As nuanced as the means and measures may be, they have one goal in common, total dominion.

Conclusion: Immigration into European countries, the USA & Canada is a consequence of years of the European mindset that they can go into other lands, implant their systems and take over, in most cases, violently. Today, we are looking at the consequence of this “Manifest Destiny” aka “Empire building” on lands that were not initially theirs to begin with. We are seeing a type of “blowback” upon their descendants and the immigrants who had nothing to do with this plan. In fact we are seeing “the chickens come home to roost”. I just hope this is a lesson taken well, however I doubt that it will stop the momentum. The power to rule the entire world is quite addictive.

“The phrase “ the chickens are coming home to roost” is well-known and often attributed to African American, anti-imperialist, revolutionary leader Malcolm X following the assassination of President  Kennedy in 1963.  This refers, of course, to mean that the wrongs committed by an individual or political entity will likewise have a boomerang effect and come back to punish the wrongdoing party in a similar vein.”

“The Awakening”

“The Awakening”

A time comes in your life when you finally get it…when, in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries OUT!…ENOUGH! Enough fighting and crying and blaming and struggling to hold on.

Then, like a child quieting down after a tantrum, you blink back your tears and begin to look at the world through new eyes.

This is your awakening.

You realize it’s time to stop hoping and waiting for something to change, or for happiness, safety and security to magically appear over the next horizon.

You realize that in the real world there arent always fairy tale endings, and that any guarantee of “happily ever after” must begin with you.., and in the process a sense of serenity is born of acceptance.

You awaken to the fact that you are not perfect and that not everyone will always love, appreciate or approve of who or what you are.., and that’s OK. They are entitled to their own views and opinions.

You learn the importance of loving and championing yourself., and in the process a sense of new found confidence is born of self-approval.

You stop complaining and blaming other people for the things they did to you – or didn’t do for you – and you learn that the only thing you can really count on is the unexpected.

You learn that people don’t always say what they mean or mean what they say and that not everyone will always be there for you and that everything isn’t always about you.

So, you learn to stand on your own and to take care of yourself.., and in the process a sense of safety and security is born of self-reliance.

You stop judging and pointing fingers and you begin to accept people as they are and to overlook their shortcomings and human frailties…., and in the process a sense of peace and contentment is born of forgiveness.

You learn to open up to new worlds and different points of view. You begin reassessing and redefining who you are and what you really stand for.

You learn, the difference between wanting and needing and you begin to discard the doctrines and values you’ve outgrown, or should never have bought into to begin with.

You lean that there is power and glory in creating and contributing and you stop maneuvering through life merely as a “consumer” looking for your next fix.

You learn that principles such as honesty and integrity are not the outdated ideals of a bygone era, but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which you must build a life.

You learn that you don’t know everything, it’s not your job to save the world and that you can’t teach a pig to sing. You learn that the only cross to bear is the one you choose to carry and that martyrs get burned at the stake.

Then you learn about love. You learn to look at relationships as they really are and not as you would have them be. You learn that alone does not mean lonely.

You stop trying to control people, situations and outcomes. You learn to distinguish between guilt and responsibility and the importance of setting boundaries and learning to say NO.

You also stop working so hard at putting your feelings aside, smoothing things over and ignoring your needs.

You learn that your body really is your temple. You begin to care for it and treat it with respect. You begin to eat a balanced diet, drink more water, and take more time to exercise.

You learn that being tired fuels doubt, fear, and uncertainty and so you take more time to rest. And, just as food fuels the body, laughter fuels our soul. So, you take more time to laugh and to play.

You learn that, for the most part, you get in life what you believe you deserve, and that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You learn that anything worth achieving is worth working for and that wishing for something to happen is different than working toward making it happen.

More importantly, you learn that in order to achieve success you need direction, discipline and perseverance You also learn that no one can do it all alone, and that it’s OK to risk asking for help.

You learn the only thing you must truly fear is fear itself. You learn to step right into and through your fears because you know that whatever happens you can handle it and to give in to fear is to give away the right to live life on your own terms.

You learn to light for your life and not to squander it living under a cloud of impending doom.

You learn that life isn’t always fair, you don’t always get what you think you deserve and that sometimes bad things happen to unsuspecting good people… and you learn not to always take it personally.

You learn that nobody’s punishing you and everything isn’t always somebody’s fault. It’s just life happening. You learn to admit when you are wrong and to build bridges instead of walls.

You learn that negative feelings such as anger, envy and resentment must be understood and redirected or they will suffocate the life out of you and poison the Universe that surrounds you.

You learn to be thankful and to take comfort in many of the simple things we take for granted, things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about:  a full refrigerator, clean running water, a soft warm bed, a long hot shower.

Then, you begin to take responsibility for yourself by yourself and you make yourself a promise to never betray yourself and to never, ever settle for less than your heart’s desire.

You make it a point to keep smiling, to keep trusting, and to stay open to every wonderful possibility.

You hang a wind chime outside your window so you can listen to the wind.

Finally, with courage in your bean, you take a stand, you take a deep breath, and

you begin to design the life you want to live as best you can.

I've Learned

by Anonymous

I’ve Learned

I’ve learned -that you cannot make someone love you.  All you can do is be someone who can be loved.  The rest is up to them.

             I’ve learned – that no matter how much I care, some people just don’t care back.

            I’ve learned – that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.

            I’ve learned – that it’s not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.

     I’ve learned – that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you’d better know something.

            I’ve learned – that you shouldn’t compare yourself to the best others can do.

            I’ve learned – it’s not what happens to people that’s important.  It’s what they do about it.

            I’ve learned – that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

            I’ve learned – that no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides.

            I’ve learned – that it’s taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

            I’ve learned – that it’s a lot easier to react than it is to think.

            I’ve learned – that you should always leave loved ones with loving words.  It may be the last time you see them.

            I’ve learned – that you can keep going long after you think you can’t.

            I’ve learned – that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

            I’ve learned – that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

            I’ve learned – that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

            I’ve learned – that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

            I’ve learned – that learning to forgive takes practice.

            I’ve learned – that there are people who love you dearly, but just don’t know how to show it.

            I’ve learned – that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

            I’ve learned – that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

            I’ve learned – that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re down will be the ones to help you get back up.

            I’ve learned – that sometimes when I’m angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel.

            I’ve learned – that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.  Same goes for true love.

      I’ve learned –   that just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.

            I’ve learned – that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had and what you’ve learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.

            I’ve learned -that no matter how good a friend is, they’re going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

      I’ve learned – that it isn’t always enough to be forgiven by others.  Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

       I’ve learned – that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn’t stop for your grief.

      I’ve learned – that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

Understanding the I Ching: Life Path Reading Pt. 1

Life Path Reading, PART 1

I give full Life Path Readings upon request. 

You can refer to this reading, from the day you receive it until the day you are finished with this incarnation.

Let me add here, that there are still various cultural indicators surrounding the birth of a child that can still be seen in practice today.

Many of them have religious rituals and ceremonies attached to them and can be observed in the form of Naming Ceremonies, Christening, Confirmations, and even circumcision as a type of Rites of Passage, or entry of the child into the Physical world. Names are often given to represent a relative, saint (deity) or historical figure.

Again, without getting a Life Path reading then it is possible that the name does not depict the actual path of the child. On the other hand, when a reading is done, it can determine more succinctly the direction the soul is traveling and thus gives the individual a strong gauge to measure his/her progress as they mature.

Rumble Video Link Understanding the I Ching: Life Path Reading Pt. 1

Life Path Reading Questions:

1. Please comment on the nature of this person’s Life Path in this incarnation.

2. Please comment on this person’s most immediate assets.

3. Please comment on this person’s most immediate liabilities.

"Are You Lost In The World Like Me?" – An Animation by Steve Cutts

“Are You Lost In The World Like Me?” – An Animation by Steve Cutts

https://stevecutts.wordpress.com/

https://www.stevecutts.com/animation.html

Moby & The Void Pacific Choir – ‘Are You Lost In The World Like Me?’ (Official Video)

https://rumble.com/v55se2c-are-you-lost-in-the-world-like-me-an-animation-by-steve-cutts.html

Are You Lost In The World Like Me? refers to the music video for Moby & The Void Pacific Choir’s song “Are You Lost In The World Like Me?” (directed and animated by Steve Cutts) which was posted to YouTube in late 2016. The video is a black and white animation in the style of a retro, Max Fleischer cartoon, portraying a phone-obsessed world where everyone is on their devices, social media and not interacting with anyone around them. A boy, however, is the only person not on his phone. Meant to highlight how phones are bad, the video gained criticism years later in 2022 and 2023, when a post on X, formerly Twitter, wrongly identified it as the “Best Short” winner at the Venice Film Festival. From then on, many internet users made memes with the boy main character, humorously ridiculing him. Other discourse surfaced about animator Steve Cutts and his history of “deep” animations which also gained criticism.

Supreme Court's Immunity Ruling is Being Radically Distorted, System Update-Glenn Greenwald

My Commentary On Supreme Court’s Immunity Ruling

While I listened to the Dems jumping up and down about the Supreme Court Ruling claiming it gave the President total immunity to do whatever he wants to do, no matter what that may be, I wondered if anyone else saw what I saw. I have been around for a long time and this “nobody is above the law” is so obnoxiously irrelevant when it comes to the president, sitting or otherwise, I could barely wrap my brain around what these pundits were saying. I mean seriously?

Impeach, expand, investigate: How Democrats in Congress are trying to rein in the Supreme Court

Protesters demonstrate outside the Supreme Court on July 1

There is an advantage of having young folks in Congress, I would surmise, maybe they are bringing fresh blood to an archaic run-down system, but if they are so oblivious to this country’s history, are they really being of any use to anyone?

Then you have the old geezers who refuse to move, are consistently re-elected and some rolled out in wheelchairs or fearfully wearing a hazmat suit, it makes me wonder, are their brains fried so much so that they’ve forgotten what president, after president after president has done over the years of their tenure. For sure these old folks have been in office thru many administrations from both sides of the aisle and they’ve seen blatant and covert miscarriage of justice. They’ve seen one presidential candidate campaign on change and change and more change, only to go right down the same path of their predecessor.

In fact, the predecessor sets things up in such a way that any change agent coming in afterwards would have to actually burn the white house down and start all over again. Do they not see how much is set in place with these puppets who appear to be able to do “something” different or better when in actuality, their hands are tied. Not only that, they often openly and covertly, look past the indiscretions of their predecessor with the line of “Let’s look forward and not backwards.” When in fact it’s the “history” of the president that makes a case for indictment for their crimes.

Now, the Bush administration committed one of the most hideous crimes in recent American history. The “post-9/11 unity” Obama is speaking of positively here was in part a jingoistic and Islamophobic national hysteria that produced two catastrophic wars. To say that we should not discuss “who is to blame” is to implicitly exonerate wrongdoing, or at least to sweep it under the rug. Obama said he didn’t want to prosecute Bush-era torturers because he wanted to “look forward, not backward.” To see the absurdity of this, we can imagine how it would sound for any other crime. In cases of murder or sexual assault, would it be neutral and fair-minded to say that we were “not interested in the past”? Or would it be taking a side? (In fact, instead of prosecuting torturers, Obama decided to prosecute the CIA official who leaked evidence of the torture program.)  https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/2020/10/obamas-words

How many ‘“look forward, not backward” have we been subjected to that gave us the idea, however openly or covertly, that presidents are immune and have been immune since forever, or like Glenn Greenwald states in this riveting presentation, for over 200 years.

Now we have had assassinations, attempted assassinations, attempted impeachments and covert coups but we have yet to see any president of the USA be convicted of a crime while they were in office, except, and perhaps notably, Former President Donald Trump (who was actually not in office as president at all). This begs to question in my mind, why they are up in arms, when they are quite virulently proclaiming that DJT is a convicted felon!

The Trump derangement syndrome has pulled the wool over the eyes of so many who overtly hate the very ground this man walks on. It is so ubiquitous that they fail to see that DJT is just another just like the other. He is a place holder for the same globalist agenda that is rushing forward like a runaway locomotive. He is the protégé of Henry Kissinger. If folks would just do their homework they’d see that. He never cleaned the swamp, in fact he filled it. He is an establishment guy, he just has rough edges. If elected he will continue to be an establishment guy and his huge ego will become humungous for all to see. He is no more of a dictator or king than any other President. In fact, the US president is claimed to be the “Leader of the Free” world and of the greatest country in the world. The world moves and shakes at the behest of the USA, does that not sound just a bit like a dictator? In fact, when a certain regime does not tow the line for the US’s agenda, they will suffer economic warfare thru sanctions, infiltrations, overthrowing of heads of state, assassinations and vile divide and conquer propaganda, just to name a few. They will send in their Economic Hit man, CIA operatives, Seal Team 6, create media to denigrate anyone opposing them, threaten livelihoods and family members. How is that not equated with dictatorship or even tyranny?

We should all know by now, that Presidential elections are not elections but selections. If the US citizen was an informed voter and studied the nuances of how this system is set up, they would know that they really have little or no say as to who will become president of the USA. It is the illusion of choice, but there really is no choice beyond the megadonors and the electoral machine that determines exactly the when, where, how, who and what will happen when all is said and done. The popular vote means nothing when one considers it can be overruled by the Electoral College.

The pontificating and running around with their hair on fire just shows how ignorant they are of the system that they are a part of, and supposedly are about maintaining the construct of the Constitution of the USA.

Even the counter arguments from the 3 judges who dissented showed just how flawed this system of checks and balances is. These three branches of government are actually show pieces to give the US’s citizens the illusion of inclusion in the process when in fact the process is designed to keep them out, not in.

Some of the most horrendous crimes have been committed by sitting presidents and the system did nothing to bring them to heel. In fact, the system, with its bulwark media, created the narrative that the populace of the USA who questioned their president’s behavior, as anti-establishment or insurrectionists. This response covered the crimes of the presidents, it did not highlight them or prosecute them.

It is an unspoken fact up to this point, that a President of the USA is immune and has been since the inception of this country.

We can look around the world at how the US governmental officials will point fingers at how other countries have dictators and tyrants but we are not allowed, for risk of being censored, or told to go back to where we came from, when we look at what our own person in the “highest office of the land” does that is criminal.

It simply amazes me how ignorant people are of the very institutions of the country that these folks live in. Their blind faith in the system is concerning and alarming at the same time.

"Go Back to Your Sh**Thole Country!" ANGRY Rand Paul HUMILIATES Ilhan Omar in Public

If You Don’t Like It Here Go Back To where You Came From

Is it libel to quote someone on YouTube as having said something they did not say? I only watched this video because I could not believe that Rand Paul would say “Go back to your shithole country!”

Now YouTube will spread this audacious lie for more click bait to get more views. This is so disingenuous. If you watch the video you will see that those were not his exact words though he may have implied that. And to me that’s concerning.  If my first point still stands. Why put words in his mouth when what he said was quite clear along with his disdain for what MS. Johan Omar said.

He actually said:

“…I am willing contribute to buy her a ticket to go visit Somalia and I think she could look and maybe learn a little bit about the disaster that is Somalia that it has no capitalism, has no God given rights guaranteed in a constitution and has about 7 different tribes that have been fighting each other for the last 40 years. And then maybe after she’s visited Somalia for a while, she may come back and appreciate America more.”

On the other hand, are we at a place where only people who were born here in the USA have the “right” to express how they feel about living here?

We see folks on mainstream and alternative media expressing their concerns about this country. Should they all go back to where they came from?

Rumble Link: If You Don’t Like It Here, Then Leave

If we were to tell those folks to go back to where they came from, they would be hard press to pick a country, as for the most part, this so-called melting pot would make it difficult for them to actually pinpoint their country of origin some generations later. At least she knows her country of origin.

The USA is not this beacon of freedom and democracy that they would like to claim it is. And I was of the mind that if you are a citizen of this country and you have free speech, that if you have a complaint you should have the right to express it. You know the whole “We hold these truths to be self-evident……..”

https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript

“The Declaration” of Independence – sung by The Fifth Dimension

But because Ilhan Omar is not from the USA she has to hold her tongue and not express her thoughts because where she came from is much worse? I will not go into how her country, formerly colonized by the British and Italians, got worse as it would take me on a tangent beyond the scope of this writing. But suffice it to say that Somalia has been impacted by several US policies over the decades. So in part, the US is responsible for at least some of those tribal wars.

Here are just a few links to US involvement in Somalia.

I don’t get the correlation, however Mr. Paul put it.  But it does show his limitations on being a genuine champion of the people. That is, while he may have badgered Dr. Fauci about the origins of the CV1984 virus coming from a lab in Wuhan (which to me is a red herring) it does show his limitations or lack of knowledge of his own country’s meddling in the affairs of the country of Somalia. That aside, the statement made is one of the most baseless take downs anyone with intelligence could use, as it simply dismisses the legitimate concern to a one liner.

“Go back to where you came from then. Shut up or put up.”

 Case closed. End of conversation.

In fact I would wager had Ilhan Omar been another person armed with the info on the US involvement in the disruptions in Somalia, then that person would follow up with the question, “What would you do, Mr. Paul?” and there would have been a very different conversation. In fact Mr. Paul may have opened a can of worms without realizing it.

Ms. Omar is in congress obviously, because she wants to give a voice to the voiceless. To be honest that is merely my assumption. I don’t know her personally nor am I aware of her political stance on many issues. So I must admit, it’s my assumption. Be that as it may, if we are going to tell her to go back to where she came from, then are we

  • saying that the founding of this country should have never happened out of dissent against Britain’s rule

  • that every other person who was born here should not complain or point out their concerns

  • that any complaint about the Justice system in this country should be responded to with  “just go back to where they came from” as well?

I’m confused.

Of course, that would  be a great challenge for them. This country proudly claims to be a country of immigrants, Statue of liberty and all.

The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus

This is the entire poem “The New Colossus” created by Emma Lazarus.

“Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

‘Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!’ cries she

With silent lips. ‘Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!'”

https://www.yourdictionary.com/articles/statue-liberty-quote

Folks came here from all over the world. Many have intermingled with each other, so which country would they return to when they become discontent. How about you Mr. Paul? Where do your ancestors hail from? Many of these so called Americans are so miscegenated that they would have to put a bunch of country names in a hat and pick one to see which country they would return to.

It is very disingenuous for a descendent of immigrants to tell a newly arrived immigrant to go back to where they came from, when they too have come from countries seeking asylum in the USA.

Granted, this is merely a sound bite from 2019, posted on YouTube, on June 27, 2024, without any context before or after this comment from Mr. Paul, however it still demonstrates a glaring admission, that only some folks are allowed to complain about the Justice system in the U. S. and obviously according to Mr. Paul, that allowance is not granted to Ms. Omar.

Conclusion: When it’s all said and done, there is an American exceptionalism that overrides the facts of what this country is or is not. They claim to be American citizens when in fact they are only citizens of the United States of America.

Additionally, they feel they can self-righteously tell someone to go back to where they came from and totally ignore their own immigrant status, the Declaration of Independence and the fact that this country was founded by people who were very discontented with their country of origin.
