Watching as MUHNday unfolds, in some cases, quite literally; like LA,,

What the everg lovin’ heck is wrong with LA that riots are seemingly a Tourist attraction there.    Watts back in the late 60’s, Rodney King riots in the early 90’s, several tween there and here in the timeline,,, and now,,,,

And of course there is hard evidence that this is a bought and paid for event, with enough cut-outs to allow plausible deniability to the instigators, (cough, Oblammy-O-Boy, and the Soros backers, Cough coff)

I’m slightly torn here, because I was the one guy that stood down during the Rodney King debacle, and even with the stacked charges, the only thing that stuck was ‘failure to make movement’.  I didn’t make that movement, so that one was ‘gimme’ for the prosecution.  Of the others, “conspiracy to overthrow the governemnt’ and Sedition,,,, Yes, they threw the book at me,,, only one stuck,,,   B’cuz honestly, at that point, I was an ignoramous about politics and what the world was doing behind the scenes.  I knew one thing and one thing only at that point and that was that POSSE COMMITATUS was a real thing and we were NOT supposed to be used against civilians of the US,,, Period, DOT, end of sentence.  (I believe I have mentioned this before as well: only a few months prior to the Rodney King shit, there was the 29 palms survey, asking Marines if they would take up arms against civvies.   The questionaire was loaded to the gills with such questions, and your typical crayon eating Grunt wouldn’t have understood the logic and logical fallacies buried within.   I saw the questionaire, it was intended to justify to someone in DOD that the Marines were on call for stoopid shit,,,,   Granted, we always had been, but NEVER against our own, you understand.   This was part of another strategy in play. 

This LEVIATHAN has been growing for a very long time.   IMO, it was birthed in 2001 with the Patriot Act (that wasn’t at all patriotic)  but had been gestating since JFK took two to the head (and now its appears he took THREE,,,)

I’m holding back on a lot of thoughts about whats going on here.  Yes, the National gaurd do have ‘jurisdiction’ in this case if it means ‘keeping the peace’ or suppressing an insurrection: its quite a grey area really,,,    I choke when I say that about the NGs,,,   (and they should have never been sent overseas for duty where the regular DOTMIL was supposed to carry the ball, Jes-sayin’.)

AND right now, I am just watching.   This has the seeds to grow into that RevWarIII aka CWII that so many have been predicting,,,,   The question really lays in ‘are all the seeds ready to grow?” .  I’m not so sure,,but I am certainly not going to be surprised if they do.   The biggest seed is the DEEP polarization of this country right now.    LEFT/RIGHT for one, then you have the REAL US citizens vs those that came here but refuse to intergrate.   Even if they naturalized, there are huge groups in this country that brought all of thier baggage with them and expect us to accept it as legit.   NO!!!, You came here for a leg-up, get with the program and accept that we have societal standards, and they ain’t what you left behind,,,,

I just gonna eyeball for awhile and see if this is just another grand distraction from the real dealios (kabuki theater) of it drops into that death spiral into terrafirma,,,

UPDATED:   From Frans place

We knew there were invasion forces embedded in the immigration waves we have been witness to.   The above, Look RILLLY close at the dude.  That’s a Vatos,,,Probably third or fourth Gen Losangelino  OR trying to appear as such.   Thats not to say I agree with said dude stance/opinion: our immigration is out of control and we are under an invasion that apparently is going kinetic.    Let the bullets fly,,, And yes, there will be real civilian casualties as usual, but this situation is out of hand now and needs fixed.

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: BCE has good intel on upcomjng festivities.   Check the linls for your location; ya might be in a hotspot.   He also has some intel gathering advice.   My location is pretty clear, but then,  this is Appalachistan,,,,

I haven’t had a drink in HOURS, yet still rockin’ a buzz.  

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!

At home now, Cozzie is knocked flat from all the attentions, new peoples, playing with other dawgums, and general runnin’round bein’ alive dawgie,,,,

About to join him, AFTER, I do the “getting ahead of the hangover curve” and get some water and OTC’s in my system.

ALL the sisters in town this weekend!!!   ALL of ’em!   Fact being, My Aunt has had planned a surprise 85th Bday party for my Dad for several months now, and surprisingly, NO ONE said a frellin’ word to dad.  Surprising to me since this area is so gossip prone, I figured someone was going to spill the beans long ago.

Nope, didn’t happen, but I think dad is suspicious as heck right now.  Seeing how two of my Sisters ‘just showed up’ out of the clear blue.  Third sis is nearby, having flown in last night, but stayed at hotel near the airport for logistics sake (and in attempt to keep that kat in the bag just a wee bit longer)

Thats all to the good.   Da’s gonna be grumpy about it, “its just another damned day,,,,” only, NO, it ain’t.  Not everybody makes it this far along, so no, its NOT just another day!    And since he is so close to that expiration date not disclosed,,, we are  all going to make the most of what time we do have left with him, a little more memorable.   Let him grump,,, at least then we know he is actually happy.  (its when the grumpin’ goes silent that I start to worry about him.)

Two points to talk about, sorta related.   Cosmos went to Da’s with me last night.  First time down the hill where he wasn’t  ‘in the car’ with me.  (he refused to get in, and refused to ‘stay’,   We have another issue to work on now.) but followed me down.    He did great down there.   One big tiff with DaisyKat, who is more than a little psychotic even for Kat, but once the ‘dogs on porch, not in house’ was established, it was just vocalizations from that point.   (and that witch of a kat can YOWLLLLL!!!, let me tell you,,,) And he met Patch (good Cousins pupper) and they hit it off in grand pupper wrastlin’ style.   I wasn’t concerned with him running the ‘hood with her, since she doesn’t leave this hollar unless she is out walkin’ with Cuz.   He had a good chaperone.

Second was, I was introduced to a new (pair of actually) drinks.    Blackberry Crown and lemonade,,, Quite tasty!!!  and the same Crown with Ryans Irishcream,,,, MMMMMmmmmmmmmmM!!!!!!!!!!!!!    tasted like a blackberry cobbler pie,,,, (note, that second one has a creep factor to it,, as in it will creep up on ya and a’fore ya know it, YOU are BUZZED!!!!)

Dad didn’t like it.    He’s never been much of a whiskey fan.   Will drink it, Hot totties etc, but not his game.   More the wine drinker he is.

I guess my irish side comes more from my Moms parents,,,, LOL

Its a rainy day out there: Cozzie and Elbee are hiding in house, away from the wet and drizzles, curled up being good little furry lumps.   Bored obviously, but thats the breaks when the weather turns,,,   Cozzie is in for another learning curve come winters,,,, (and he had better master that dogdoor by then, dammit!)

anywhoooss,,,,,, I’m babblin’ now.   Not much to talk about concerning the world at large.   Just watching and waiting, no big Friday surprise that I saw(so far) and I am standing on the “Trump and Musk are trolling for lefties” status in the X-files; will see.

escalating tensions between Musk and Trumped,,,, 

Kabuki theater, trolling the Left: this seem more tactical and staged to me than actual ‘sibling rivalry’ between a pair of Billionaires.    Keep watching this little shit-fest, and keep the popcorn handy.   But its all THEATER,,,

WHY?

They are distractions from whats going on, on the world stage, where we are seconds away from the EU being turned into a glass ashtray combat theater.   Watch for some outbreaks of PLandemic level (and short lived) Biologics over the summer months.  just my thoughts, hopefully and likely wrong.  

BUT Distractions,,, because in reality, the Top down Governance is failing in ways they can’t believe and every bandaid they throw at it only cause more hemoraging elsewhere.    There are riots taking place all over Europe and the media is not covering them in any fashion, nor even breif mention.   This is telling as the media and the Governments are tied together at the hips.

Frosty times ahead, and I do mean FROSTY as I believe winter this year is not going to be one of our milder ones.   WIth the sunspot activity, and gaping holes showing on the face of the sun, things coming our way are having effects on the surface here.   Its frellin’ JUNE and I recently was able to turn the heat off overnight.    And the shift from ‘chill your bones’ to ‘Sweat and Stew’ was literally over one week, no gradual change.  It felt like early spring until it jumped straight into high summer.

Me thinks this August and September are gonna be roasting hot, then come October, we start to freeze, and deep freeze at that.    Get your ducks in rows (read, stack that firewood son!) now.    At least I have a jump on things with some recent windfalls: two red oaks and a white oak I need to fell still.

SO between weather, Failing public policy and information overload across the world, we are on the cusp of something much bigger and the Powers that wanna be are in death throes, to include those on that shining hill.  KABUKI THEATER is covering whats really happening and we are left to peice it all together from little slips of the tongue.

Like Elon decommisioning the Dragon,,,,    That little rocket (it ain’t little) is the only beast making his company money right now: why would you shutter the breadwinner without a competent replacement all ready to go?   There is something going on in that sphere and I am watching intently to see if it has something to do with atmospheric/Geomagnetics,,,    Maybe a little paranoia on my part due to old apocalyptic reading, but hey, there is a bit of truth in those old theories.    Maybe the eggheads in DARPA know something and those in the loops are preparing for it,,,,

anywhoos,,, Gots to do the J.O.B thing, then a big weekend ahead with lots of Fam about, (Not details to be shared at this time, don’t want the kat out of the bag yet.)

Where it feels like there is some symblance of sanity holding things together,,, just barely mind you, but there nonetheless.   Right now I feel as if its one of those moments.    Things could be so much worse than they are, maybe are worse than the guy on the street (IE, Me) sees.    

Example being what is being said about the state of Russia and the world,, more like the EU/Kraine situation.    BCE mentions that in his feeds, that even Russian Troops are saying ‘make every capitol city into a glowing glass ashtray’ but Putin holds the reins tightly still.   For how much longer is the real question, no?   We will see, (so long as the canned sunshine stays in the cans, and not released into atmo)

But I don’t think I am the only one seeing mass insanity being the norm these days.    And there are those that say its because we have lost our way, that we no longer apply the teachings of christianity to our lives.   etc etc etc,,,,

I’m not going to go all in on that line of thought, but what if, the lines of teaching are compromised by the same mentalities that make up our power mongers in the elected classes (are they elected? or are they mere puppets played for our ‘reality’ to keep us placid and quiescent?  Does the question answer itself?)    The more I have learned over the years, the more I walked away from organized religion for that very reason.   The more I learn NOW, the more I think that from the word GO, the church has been compromised and only continues to get worse.   And this isn’t JUST the Christian faiths, but the Jewish one as well.   There is plenty of evidence that the Jewish faith, at one point was polytheist, and that about 300 years before the advent of Christ, there was a purge to remove all but one, and that texts were rewritten to show “ONLY ONE” with only brief mentions of any other dieties.   

If you are curious, there are deep dives available from serious researchers on these very lines.   Heres just one and the man was a pastor that educated other pastors prior to this evoluton.   Some of them are even from the Catholic faith, from within the Vatican itself. (and that first link has an entire section with one of them.)

Why was the bible edited?   Was it because the books were bunk, or that they were counter to current teachings?    Why are there so many similarities within other texts, that put lie to some of the chapters as currently accepted in translation?   

On and on and on, the questions only raise more questions, and ultimately, the answers only lay in the past, likely to never be discovered/recovered.

We all have our beliefs.   Some are devout about theirs, maybe not as devout as the jihadii Muslims, but still, quite defensive of them.

MY FAVORITE QUOTE was along the lines of an answer to a question presented to a retired preacher.   The question “Do you believe in God as portrayed in the Bible?”  and the answer was, “I believe in the father that Yeshuah believed in.”    Now, that seems pretty straight forward until you realize that in ALL of the writings of Jesus/Yeshuah, he never ONCE mentions Yahweh, the God of the old testament as translated by the Greeks from Hebrew.   The answer was a loaded gun handed to a quizical kid, and it went off in this kids hand, after many many years.

When I picked up the Gnostic texts, was when my education of where things went sideways started.   When I read the book of Thomas,,,   The Sophia of Christ,,,     I started seeing parallels with buddhist teachings.   

And then there is the whole 18 years Christ was ‘lost’ in the original texts.   12yo blowing the minds of the elders in the temple, then nothing until he returned at 30 to begin his ministry.   

And there were ‘roads’ to the far east even then,,,,

and Buddhism is over 500 years older,,,   It had plenty of time to aggregate into a solid belief system.

And many of the teachings are not just parallels, but damn near verbatim translations of early teachings of Siddhartha,,,

Its the translation of passages like “The only path is through ME”, followed by ‘We are all sons of God’     Those counterpoint ideas were what caused me to question even the most basic of teachings…

Not that I feel the ethics are wrong, quite the opposite. Certainly worlds above most of the teachings in the Qu’ran (where killing/Subjagation of enemies is the epitome of the entire text,,,)   I did learn right from wrong by Christian education,  even my public school years had mostly still Christian ethics built in, with a goodly dose of Patriotism/Propaganda built of course (not that that is all a bad thing,,, far better than the ‘hate  your country, hate yourself for being white and male’ that seems to be the core of whats in our public educations system these days.

————————————————-

I just re-read Jonathan Livingston Seagull again.   Only this time, its the original intended story, with a fourth chapter that Richard had held back (and even he is unsure why now, as he writes in the epilogue.)   (spoiler alert) IN that chapter, the original teachings of Jonathan are lost to sloth and manipulations, and only towards the very end, are the ‘new lessons’  questioned and rejected.  

Reading it, felt almost like Richard had seen the future of religions and had a good feel for where things had ‘gone wrong’ and that the new future would be exactly that, Questioned and Rejected for better simpler truths, not Dogma and Mythos.

I wonder if that stage isn’t coming to fruition even now on the world stage, that older Orders are on the verge of collapse from within, and the ‘simpler truths’, the ones that can’t be refuted by myth and dogma, stand bold and clear.  

————————————————————-

I’m prattling on now, aren’t I?     I will tell you this much though.   When I had my epiphany was right after my parents split, and my mother was a member of a new Church.   There was a picture of the pastor of that church with the contents of the offering plate taped over his entire body (he was clothed, you can see the suit in places between the bills)   My reaction, even then in my early years ( I believe I was 10 at the time) was “Whuduhfuck, what a friggin’ ego that shit has!”    And,,,, This was years before the whole Evangalist meltdowns of the 80’s,, I think it was before the Kool-aid Pastor wiped out his entire flock,,,,   But think about that,,, If a 10yearold kid could see the hypocrisy of the one pic, and start to question every ‘leader’ afterwards,,, Are my points above so ‘crazy’?    Maybe they are ‘wrong’ on some level, but how ‘right’ are our current teachings????   

That’s the real question in my mind.

Kraine kicked the Bear again,,, And the bear is showing intrepid levels of patience,,,  All I can say to this recent debacle: someone(s) in high places is trying to kick off WWIII in a bad way for reasons of thier very own.   Maybe just some old skool cold war armchair warriors that want a return to that time period.   Having just had a foray into the past (in a sense) I HIGHLY discourage that particular trip,,,,  Leave the past in the past and keep putting your feet forward.   There is only one way out of this ‘reality’ and it ain’t back there,,,,  Live and learn, YES, but don’t dwell there .

Rules based orders are falling the wayside as bottom up control handles emergencies better, as has been seen in North Carolina/Tennessee area where the hurricane is still imposing its will on that area.   Rafting companies are slowly making a comeback in the area but the rivers have all changed.   Still, locallocallocal is the key there and FedGuv is all thumbs and busted big toes.

Lack of things to talk about as I am busier than a three peckered goat at work, and by the time I make it home, to hyper-excited puppers that wants to run and jump and nip (NO!) just have a grand old time with the wore-out old man,,,,

At least Zoomies returned to the fold yesterday, if only for an hour or so: but he did make headway in showing acceptance of Cosmos,,,, no head strops YET, but they did touch noses and allow full sniffies without trauma or dramas.  Double plus good in Dio’s book!!!

I need to make a follow-up appointment at the Vets for Cozzie.   He’s doing good, and I want to keep that ball rolling.   His adjustments are narrowing down to “dawg-door” and “Stay”    I still leave him on the run in the mornings when I go to the J.O.B. since if I don’t, I end up carting his butt back.   He doesn’t want me to leave, but I sure can’t have him running hells bells around the J.O.B.; especially on days like today where I wasn’t even THERE,,, but out on a jobsite 45 minutes away,,,,  

Nopes,,, He needs to learn that STAY command means ‘daddy will be home later’, and hes the ‘Dawg of the house’ till I return.   ‘Dawg of the house’ has responsibilities; protect the other housemates and keep the evil Pack at bay.    Being puppers still, he hasn’t grasped that concept quite yet,,,,,   

Learning curves,,,,, we all has ’em.    but he is learning his, a bit a time, and I’m being patient.    He’s actually come a lot further than I expected, so there is that.

(and we just had a wee bit of drama between Zooms and Coz,,, just a nose whack, but Coz HAD stuck his nose in a bit quickly, surprising Zooms,,,,  BUT, Zooms is not totally freakin’ out about ‘stinky dawg on my porch’ like he had been. )(and note, Coz doesn’t stink, but he is Dawg, and all dawgs ‘stink’ to Kats,,,)

More fun at the J.O.B. tomorrows,,, its getting near dusk here in the hills, and this ol’ grump is a little stiff and sore (though not nearly as bad when I first came home,,, that shower worked WONDERS on this old body.)
