Labels with an intent

The left has always dominated using rhetoric and labeling for defining with the intent of achieving their agendas, whether it is an attempt at global dominance, or just to diminish, tarnish, and smear their opposition. Some examples of this lately are phrases such as domestic terrorist or conspiracy theorist. Usually, it's just when the labels seem to be useful for a moment in time. For instance, If you are beginning to expose some of their secrets, you might probably be labeled a conspiracy theorist. I am not saying there is no such thing as a conspiracy theorist or a domestic terrorist. Both of the foregoing are real and exist, but the problem is when those who control information place one under these labels dishonestly for specific purposes and many who read or hear them used in sentences by politicians or mainstream media often simply believe without questioning whether what is being said is really true within context. Here's another popular one, calling people white supremacists. When this foregoing phrase is used they will often compare those labeled to Confederates during the American Civil War. The irony behind this is when a Democrat politician says it about their counterpart, they are deliberately attempting to change historical facts. Why? Well, for one, the Republican party was formed as a party of Abolitionists. Systemic racism is another popular phrase lately. A popular word since January 6, 2021 is insurrectionist. Anyhow, I hope you get the idea.

If we listen close and pay attention, we may often easily notice when words are being used with the intent of diminishing or smearing. When we suddenly, out of the blue, start hearing certain things repeated over and over, and over it is basically that they are at it again with the smear campaigns and deceptive tactics (lies!)....

Obviously, much of the rhetoric is just a bunch of hot air regardless of how many sources are conveying it. And also, it's obvious many people don't buy it since right wing media normally has higher ratings than the left.

AOC's brilliance

AOC seems to be brilliant. While still being young, she figured out that following in her father's footsteps and doing architecture wasn't going to be easy, politics was probably a better choice. And, if politics didn't work out, getting into comedy would be a natural outcome, while never burning the bridge to return to bartending. Do you see what I see?

No identity!

Remember when unemployment was 3.9%? That was exactly a year ago! Good luck seeing that again! People with no identity who don't question when they are told a lie deserve all they get in return.

Many questions automatically arise for me from Katie Couric's statement

If you don't know what Katie Couric said, I will share. She basically asked Bill Maher on his TV program 'how are we going to deprogram the cult of Trump?' This question raises many questions in my mind. I will share them with you.

Why would she say this?

Why does she think supporting Trump make one a cult member?

Does she think Trump supporters are not good people?

Does she think there is something wrong with Trump supporters?

Does she want everyone to think identically while not supporting Trump?

Does she want all to be obedient robots, or sheep?

Does she want all to think like her because she is right and others are wrong?

Is she arrogant?

What should I assume she thinks?

Does she believe, perhaps, that she cares more than someone else, and if so, how would she know?

Has she ever been in a Trump supporters shoes to know why they have such a stance?

Does she believe she is better, or more generous than any of them?

What makes her think she is more giving or compassionate, if so?

Does one's political ideology make a person better, or is it being better regardless of ideology?

Does she believe the left has a monopoly on being good, better, or perfect?

Is she not judging?

I can probably ask questions endlessly. I simply want to say that I know a lot of bad and good people on all sides of the political spectrum. God made us all different.
We are born apart, and leave the same way. Our journey in life ultimately depends on our individual choices and decisions with relevance to direction. We are often born at different times, years, and centuries. Many factors influence us and our choices, and decisions. Unless we live alone on an island, we will sooner or later have to relate and interact with others who think differently.

Bottom line: if people really want unity they have to stop judging others regardless of whether they understand their beliefs or not. Unity doesn't happen on our terms alone. We have to tolerate other views. We do not try to reprogram others who don't see or think like us. Katie Couric is not the only person who has said similar things. This is very alarming because it may be more of a smear campaign than what it really means literally, which is also very alarming, regardless.

The power of information

Those who control information control the narrative! Those who control information control the narrative! Those who control information control the narrative! Those who control information control the narrative!

Lies can be made to sound like truths, and truths can be made to sound like lies.

            Death and life are in the power of the tongue....

Inability to learn from mistakes

By the way, I knew what the swamp was before Trump ever even decided to run for president. I simply had a different name for it. The deep state establishment is not some conspiracy theory. Many of the Washington D.C. establishment has truly robbed us of prosperity while making themselves rich. Joe Biden has been in public office 47 years. He made himself wealthy via a tax funded office. Government corruption is not understood by many, obviously. The swamp is bipartisan and powerful. Americans will never be truly free until they rid of public servants who run for office to benefit themselves instead of for the reasons for which they are and were elected. Socialism isn't even as big of a threat as they are. Until Americans finally understand this, their lives will be very mediocre. Sadly, a great opportunity has been missed. Read Peter Schweitzer's books. He has never been challenged or debunked. Perhaps Lin Wood should be heard when he mentions the crime families who have presided over us the last three decades or so. Things were not what they seemed. However, one repeats mistakes when one doesn't learn from them. 

Just pretending?

Anyone who is a conservative, or probably pretending to be one, who believes we will get them in the next election is very naive. If there was fraud on an extensive level, when the one's who did it get control, they will make sure all the following elections will be fake. This will be the last real opportunity to have free elections. Of course, they will make sure you also believe all following elections are real. Pretending is what we will do from here on. I wouldn't doubt we have been pretending for a while now. It's just that this time someone came along who exposed them. DTS!

2020 and 1517

Looking back, it seems as if 2017 went by, and we may have overlooked a significant anniversary. The anniversary really was not completely ignored. Many churches, and some media outlets, perhaps acknowledged the fact, but when one looks back in retrospect very few memories are summoned. Maybe it's just me, but it seems that since 2016 in the United States mainstream media and many others had a one-track mind and a mission to obstruct Donald Trump, so all else seems to have been put on back burners, or simply wasn't a priority.

In 1517 one man sought transparency, reform, and change. More than five hundred years later in 2020, we are still looking for similar things from our institutions. Obviously, the reform many seek must usually start within us, so the change can eventually occur, perhaps. I do not doubt that we can go as far back as possible in human history, and we would see the same patterns or vicious cycles repeated over and over, and over.... Some of us sometimes sooner or later will get off the bus and realize this fact. For example, Saul Bass was perhaps one of those who did as such when he said the following.

“Have you ever thought that radical ideas threaten institutions, then become institutions, and in turn reject radical ideas which threaten institutions?”

I am done trying to make my point. Five hundred years plus later the 95 Theses are still not forgotten. Similarly, I do not think Trump is going away either, even if he physically got on a spaceship and went to another galaxy. Of course, we shall see. However, it is undeniable that a movement began which may have at least 75 to 80 million followers. Remember how they tried to get rid of Jesus two thousand years ago? Wow, all this time and I never mentioned Luther. Oh well! DTS!

In the overall scope and scheme, everything and everyone should be heard. No one should be silenced or censored by anyone with power who feels threatened by what is being said. DTS!

Drain the Swamp!

Saul Bass Quote

Everything Has Its Time

 Everything Has Its Time

3 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

2 a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 a time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to throw away;
7 a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.
