Sarah asks, “what is truth”
What is truth? Well, truth is that which doesn’t go away when you stop thinking about it.
and BCE elaborates on some local event. Not one I am familiar with, but one of many I have heard of. Like the Bridge in Alaska that was rebuilt by locals using local businesses to get the job done, despite the local GOV telling everyone (the taxpayers,,,,) to get fucked. I remember that one well, though I can’t seem to find jack about it on the webz.
Is that a case of burying anything that doesn’t fit the narrative? maybe, possibly, but I don’t really want to start that level of tinfoil hat wearing just yet.
People will take care of business if there isn’t any intervention by “Stronger” forces,,, In this case, the “stronger” force is a government that is built up, not in ability, but in indoctrination of the young. Even I have had to UN learn things from my early childhood of “benevolent government”.
I can’t say ‘everything’ I knew was a lie, but there are days where it sure as hell feels like it. I know there are good people working for GOV that try to do the right thing, but I think it goes without saying that there are many many more there for the oppurtunities of grfit and graft, more than happy to feed at the trough of taxpayer monies.
Such as a certain situation here local. Business and Town are making a big showing of building new factory locally. $15million dollar grant from FEDGOV to do so.
Start doing a little digging, and I can find NO website for the company, only a Fakebuk page and very little on that. it also has a ‘joined’ date only a month older than the current newspaper telling about the ‘good news for locals’. Looking for the financial aspects of the company, I find an IPO that was listed TWO DAYS prior to the groundbreaking ceremony in M-boro.
I smell a rat.
Wouldn’t be the first in this area either. There was the Solar Farm that received 21 million in federal grants, land purchased, and stripped of trees, and,,,,, now the area two years later is eroded and covered in fireweed. No jobs, no solar farm, no pretense of bankruptcy, but someone took that 21 mill and made bank.
another was the industrial park/airfield that was supposed to be developed on an old Mountaintop removal project. They got the coal, and some of them do try to recover the original wildlife and forestry, but some will try to further develop the grounds as was supposed to happen with the mentioned project. There was even a bridge built to the site from the causeway nearby.
The only thing that property has been used for since I moved here is as an informal off-road place. No airfield, no industrial park, and NO reclaim efforts.
Again, several Federal grants involved.
See a trend?
The locals don’t benefit, believe me. Jobs around here are iffy, unless you are a coal miner, and then those are subject to heavy influence by the likes of FEDGOV (some good, some bad. at least the miners aren’t dying like they used to just a couple decades back, and the whole idea of ‘the company store’ is but a memory that is fading as the old timers die off.)
But local is the only way to make sure that a community survives. That whole schpeal by Kill-ROD-ham KKKlinton of ‘it takes a village” isn’t bullshit, but not in the manner she prescribed.
here in my hollar, we haven’t seen the county do one thing to our roads in 7 years, since the last magistrate was railroaded. The new magistrate is worthless for defending our needs, and no one has seen him in a couple years, though someone IS collecting his salary. We take care of patching potholes, have bribed the county workers into running the mowers along the road, when one of us can find them,,, And the gravel path leading to my place has been graded several times, but NOT by the county, but by my cousin with a loader/backhoe. And with the hill leading here, ruts up EVERY damned time it rains, but we can get nothing unless we pay for it out of pocket ourselves.
I’m not bitching here, just stating facts. I actually prefer not having the GOV involved in this shit since if they were, we would have to ‘just accept’ whatever solution they came up with. This way, if those of us that live up here decide we want to move that road in a way that won’t rut out everytime it rains, we can, and to hell with the county about it. We will just put a gate at the bottom of the hill and claim a private drive. It’s not like we even get mail service out here: we all have to use POB’s even though UPS and FEDEX have no problem doing door service to us.
And police???
Been here 10 years now, permanent the last 6,,,,
Seen one, ONE state trooper out here. STATE TROOPER, not county, not local PD, no sheriff, NOTHING. Good and bad there too. Good that we don’t get that level of attention that says we NEED to worry, but also a pain when you actually DO need the attention. That Stateboy was called SEVEN HOURS prior to his arrival.
Fair warning in that statement: WE DO NOT CALL NINEONEONE HERE. You play stoopid games, you WILL win a stoopid prize. Remember that backhoe? Yeah. S-S-S is the ‘law’ here. We can be tolerant, but don’t push TOO hard,,,
What’s the truth? What is REAL right now, when it seems everywhere we look, the world is in full schizophrenic immolation?
Heres the truth I see, YMMV.
The GOV is dying. Not just ‘Our’ GOV, but all of them. They see the decentralization of the world happening and that decentralization is their deathbell tolling, and like any dying entity, they are convulsing reaching for anything to stay alive.
Why would our own GOV be so determined to start a damned thermonuclear war? Because if they can’t own the tree, NO ONE is allowed to have the fruits. And the message is becoming clearer, at least to me, that they will not OWN that tree, and I think they see it too, hence the madness we see that doesn’t bear any sense or reality. Sarah says “truth is what remains when you stop thinking about it”,
SO STOP THINKING ABOUT THE MADNESS!!!! I have said many many times, stop feeding the beast, stop playing by THEIR rulebooks, Stop COMPLYING!!! Even posting gripes about how screwed up in the head the Xi-den Crime cartel is only FEEDS them. Its like when people stopped posting names or pictures of the shooters in mass shootings: the logic was to stop feeding the attraction of ’15 minutes of fame’ that seemed to be the driving force behind many of the shooters. And while the mass shootings didn’t stop, there have been fewer. (other than in Destroyt, Chi-congo, and other certain hotspots of darker tint.)
What remains when you stop thinking about the mess world-wide?
Local local local. Its there in front of you, if you could only get your face turned away from your screen long enough to see it. (And I am equally guilty, so don’t take it personally.). Things are still moving along at the local level, but we are so wrapped up in the worldview, that things like the local plunder of federal grants goes unseen, and the people that were to benefit from those grants go without while a small handful buy yachts and plan to vacate the burning building of a country on fire.
Stop thinking, start DOING,,,,
(note, Day off, not by choice, no work to be had,,, You benefit since I am writing more today,,, Hit the donate feed on the side if you are inclined, I won’t be mad at ya.)
