A clever meme

With creative graphics

Contrasting colors

Witty expressions

Quotation marks

Storytelling scenes

Does not a truth make

Truth is not a science

It is only a perception

Like any of your beliefs

Audio visual olfactory

Tactile and taste guide

Yet

Those senses are subject

To suggestion and sway

Fastidiousness and fray

Audio can be tested by

Playing the telephone game

With just three people

And five words

What gets back to you

Will not be the “truth” you said

Regardless what you

Articulately whispered

Could look for a visual truth

It is said that your eyes

Can play “tricks” on you like

A “Mirage” in the dessert

When sleep deprivation

Can provide the same

Hallucinating reality between

Deciphering holograms

In a statedly conscious

Unconscious state

.

Trial before Pilate from Jesus Christ SS

I look for truth and find that I get damned.

– JC

What is truth?  
Is truth unchanging law?

We both have truths.
Are mine, the same as yours?

– Pilate

Reinterpreted via – Andrew Lloyd Weber

.
That must be what

It all boils down to

Truth

Your truth

My truth

Naked truth

Whole truth

Half truth

Hidden truth

Inconvenient truth

God’s truth

Honest truth

Honest to God’s truth

So help me God’s truth

Like God

Truth Is open to interpretation

It is in the eye of the beholder

Or perhaps hearts and minds

Keep doing what you are doing

Should you get caught red handed

You can use metaphysical science

And presidential precedent to plea

Not guilty

Just surround yourself with enough

Noodniks, lawyers and hangers-on

To make your innocence case for you

On the inferred suggestion intimated

That hints you may share the booty

Or perhaps get to drive the stolen car

Or wear the shiny diamond for a time

Play with the “power and prestige”

Even though it was ill gotten gain

If as they say you can’t take it with you

Which seemingly applies to everyone

Therefore no one “owns” anything, right?

Henceforth making it impossible to steal

Besides that, all you would have to do is

Make them “define” “money” should you

Have duffle bags full of what was “stolen”

Prosecutor: you were caught with 2m worth of cash in your bags

Defendant: those are just rectangular pieces of cloth with ink on them

Prosecutor: they have value assigned to them by the treasury

Defendant: still regardless, how the cloth is printed, costs are the same

Prosecutor: yes, but society has agreed these have values of exchange

Defendant: understood, however the insurance will replace it therefore it is like it was never missing.

Judge : You have a point.  Not Guilty.

Ethics Morality And Truth

Are

The first three things

Thrown out of the

Economic window

Of ivory towers

Guarded by the wolf

In wolf’s clothing

While

The sheep bleet nonsense

In a dull rhythmic hum

Drifting in like a

Soft hallelujah chorus

Mixed in with the
,
Clinking of counted coins

The lilt of laughter

Suffocating the stench

Of greed and corruption

The above triggered the below

Perchance ivory towers mentioned

Or vice-versa impossible sequencing

When everything is happening at once

“Be Quick Or Be Dead”

“Covered in sinners and
Dripping with guilt
Making your money
From slime and from filth

Parading your bellies
in ivory towers
Investing our lives in
Your schemes and your powers

You got to watch them
 – be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven
 – the thief’s in your head

//

See… what’s ruling all our lives
See… who’s pulling the strings…

I bet you won’t fall on your face
Your belly will hold you in place

The serpent is crawling
Inside of your ear
He says you must vote for
what you want to hear

Don’t matter what’s wrong
As long as you’re alright
So pull yourself stupid and
Rob yourself blind

You got to watch them
 – be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven
 – the thief’s in your head

//

Be quick… or be dead!
Be quick!”

1919 Debunked ?

Along time ago, wait it is as fresh as tomorrow.  I read an article that was very fascinating to me, at the ripe old age of nine, or so. Somewhere at the precipice of the age of reason, for sure.

 

With somewhat of an ominous tone, the headline read;

US Downfall Plotted 50 Years Ago

Whoa, kind of scary, when your Monday thru Friday indoctrination schedule includes the daily mantra of “Pledging” your “Allegiance” to the “Flag” and to the”Republic” for which it “Stands”. Plus probably repeating that at Cub Scouts.

Nooo, why would anyone want to plot against the US?

Wait, if a plot was discovered, then surely, like a Hardy Boys mystery, it can be foiled. After all, here it is in print for all hard working loyal Americans to see and take counter measures.

All anybody would have to do is be aware of this and take appropriate actions, by not letting themselves get duped or let America fall into this now easily avoidable catastrophe.

Must be careful though, certainly if I run around screaming the warning to all that can hear, might deem me as a little crazy and not listen. Worse yet, if I mention this discovered plot to someone I don’t know or trust, they might be one of the plotters and do something to me, so I can’t warn anyone else.

Going to have to act alone, and lead by example and practically memorize the points and be aware of not participating in unconsciously helping my beloved country go bad. What a task for a nine year old.

 

 

Here is the transcribed article below, that can be found on Google as well.

Of course, now it is from 50 years ago.

 

 

US Downfall Plotted 50 Years Ago 

In May of 1919 at Dussoldorf Germany,  the Allied Forces obtained a copy of the “Communist Rules for Revolution”.

Nearly fifty years later, the “Reds” are still “following the rules”.  As you read the list, stop after each item and think about the present-day situation and where you live, and all around the nation. We quote from the Red Rules.

A.    Corrupt the young. Get them away from religion.  Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; Destroy their ruggedness.

B.     Get control of all means of publicity thereby :

1.     Get people’s minds off their government, by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books and plays and other trivialities.

2.     Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.

3.     Destroy the people’s faith in their natural leaders, by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and obloquy.

4.     Always preach true democracy,  but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.

5.     By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit, produce fear of inflation with high prices and general discontent.

6.     Forment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward such disorders.

7.     By spacious argument, cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues, honesty, sobriety, continued faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.

C.     Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with the view of confiscating them and leaving the population helpless.

That was quite a list, wasn’t it? Now stop and think, how many of those rules are being carried out in this nation today?  I don’t see how any thinking person can truthfully say that the communists do not have any part in the chaos, that is upsetting our nation.  Or is it just coincidence? I doubt it!

I had recently found the copy of the copy of that article. That is probably a bad reveal that I had hung on to it for this long, and although it had been vaguely filled away to obscurity it surfaced while looking for something else.

So in this age of Google, opted to see if there was any background info to it.

Typed in the title of the article in the search bar and voila, several copies of a the same article from various publishers. Guess the media distribution was a bit different in the late 60’s.

One of the things I found was that it’s source was debunked because there are no Communist Rules for Revolution. Or are there? Anyway, it doesn’t matter.

If you watch any documentary or movie from that era, the word communist could have easily been replaced by the word bogeyman. It would have meant the same thing.

Same goes for today, replace terrorism with bogeyman and you’ll see how easily the masses are being duped into being led and controlled.

Somehow it got attached to fear. See what McCarthyism did to this country. Blacklists, circumstantial covert repression of free speech. You can say whatever you want, however there is an underlying understanding that, perhaps if you do speak out, you may lose your family supporting income.

Then where would you be to protend a fight. For the most important thing (family) that you believe in, could face the hardships over a concept. Kind of like fighting for the principle of peace, it gets lost quick.

Whether it be by circumstance or design (Google Manufactured Consent) there are several things on the list worth examing.

A.    Corrupt the young. Get them away from religion.  Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; Destroy their ruggedness.

A. The young are circumstantially, albeit unconsciously corrupted by their parents anyway. Usually in the form of “do as I say, not as I do” indoctrination. That or Santa Clause and the easy manipulation of you better behave, “a non-existent” invisible entity is watching your behavior, speech and thoughts. Just as a matter of control.

Sex, I’m sure that’s innate. Encouraging or discouraging that is hardly going to make a difference. Distracted by it, might more be the issue.

“Superficial.” Perhaps, not sure, at this point what is available to be “deep” about. Most everything is disposable, and / or easily replaced.

With the new use of the word “optics” might cover this one. A person’s character, being defined by what it is, that they appear to be doing, as opposed to their overall nature, personality and actual actions.

“Some aspects of destroying their “ruggedness”. Might not be such a bad thing as ruggedness can imply brutality. Excusable behavior justifying assault and violence.

B.     Get control of all means of publicity thereby :

Objectively points 1-7 seem relatively self explanatory. Just re-read the above then ponder them with eyes even halfway closed and you will see most are frighteningly accurate. Or perhaps this article has ingrained my paranoia for nearly fifty years.

C.     Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with the view of confiscating them and leaving the population helpless.

Here is the most current kicker on display. But you have to pay real close attention to who is actually saying what. One side tells you that it the other side is going to take away guns. The other side can not defend words that did not come out of their mouth without using words that weren’t there in the first place. A catch twenty-two of sorts.

Leaving everyone up in arms over the first and second amendments. Ignoring the other twenty-five, if anyone knows they are there.

That was quite a list, wasn’t it? Now stop and think, how many of those rules are being carried out in this nation today?  I don’t see how any thinking person can truthfully say that the communists do not have any part in the chaos, that is upsetting our nation.  Or is it just coincidence? I doubt it!

.

Using the word communist is interchangeable with any moniker to isolate and identify an invisible moving human target, a most capable bogeyman.

If this article were to be written today they could use socialist.

The “ist” matters not, save for scaring the shit out of an unenlightened populace distracted by all of the distractions.

Everything including safety, security, patriotism, jingoism, war, peace, slavery, abortion, flag burning, walls, immigration, subpoenas, pardons, climate change, fake news, absolute proof, etc.

Each one of those distractions and any inadvertently left out each have within them hypocrisy, dichotomy or both.

Deep reservoirs, chock-full of empty opinions, arguments merely for the sake of arguing. Mindless, endless rhetoric built-up to collapse on itself.

Peace: The previous President received the Nobel peace prize whilst engaging simultaneously in two wars, and the collective accepted that in true Orwellian fashion.

War: The dictionary definition states it is fighting between groups or countries, when in truth everyone knows an original definition would have used the word killing. You know killing, aborting out of the womb oxygen breathing 68th trimester fetuses.

Each and every side burying and birthing over theology, geography or a product.

Foremost lately is the product or resources to make products thereby needing to make more humans, i.e.(products) to extract, form, mold, build, assemble, test, market, box, package, store, warehouse, distribute, buy, sell, waste, discard, restart and repeat. Those are just the descriptions, on the human “products”.

Alas, it matters not. This, now or then could have been another distraction in a dizzying deluge of distraction. ‘Tis one of the reasons I started this blog to communicate this in a clever way.

Building on it in drips and drabs, a way to explain my beingness and thought processes (or my paranoia) till I realized it was bumping up against the alleged article’s 100th anniversary.

At least, if it has not been either informative, entertaining or enlightening, then maybe it explains the nature of the rest of most of the posts on this blog. Would certainly explain my voraciousness for questioning everything.

Thanks for reading.

 

According To A Sign

Shoplifting is a crime

You will be caught

You will be prosecuted

.

 

Lest of course

Your shirt has a white collar

Jacket is blue, tie is red

And you occupy an oval office

Stealing is perfectly legal

If legislated in the form

Of tax breaks for corporations

Collusion-less

Aiding and abetting

Of elections

 

.

 

Funny how

What is accepted

As a “crime”

Is based on the context

Of who is profiled

As the thief

Steal a loaf of bread

To feed your family

Get punished

Steal loaves of bread

Because you can

Slice it up with your

Gluttonous cronies

Is

Business as usual

Just a

Sign of the times

Boiling Blood

Can’t decide if this will be revered or the final nail in my writing coffin.

So if I haven’t lost every reader by now, hang tight and enjoy the ride.

“This next song (post) is written about religion, or about washing your car, or … actually it is about opening a pair of curtains. Called Revelations, this one!”

“Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you. They don’t want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re preborn, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.

Conservatives don’t give a shit about you until you reach “military age”. Then they think you are just fine. Just what they’ve been looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers.”

– George Carlin

Here comes Gilead
Here comes Gilead

Right down Hypocrisy Lane
Dangling a fetus like a carrot
Driving everyone insane

Georgia ‘n’ Alabama ‘n’
All of their faux fear

Are causing so much strain

Women are cringing
Freedom’s diminishing

All is scary and fright

Get your passport and
Pack your bags

Cause Gilead comes in the night

Here comes Gilead
Here comes Gilead

Right into Piousness square
Doesn’t care how far along you are
As long as you stay a brood mare

“Hey look! A fetus. Whatever you need.

Let’s go. Whatever you, the apathetic docile masses
Need to get behind, here, here’s a fetus.
Come on. Look a little fetus.

//

That little fetus got more TV time than I did last year.”

– Bill Hicks

.
It is neither the act

Nor the intention

Of killing humans

For whatever reason

Regardless the stage

We are all going

To die eventually

It is the hypocrisy

Surrounding it

That makes

My blood boil

.
Smoke and mirrors

Of distraction played

Like a weak

Jedi mind trick

On the feeble minded

Not equating

In womb fetuses

With grown

Out of the womb

Fetuses

.

These are not the

Fetuses you’re

Looking for

.
Oh, okay carry on

“I loves the poorly educated, I do well with the poorly educated.”

Just because

John Bolton

Wants to go to Iran

To instantly perform

Thousands of

Post natal abortions

With the taxpayer money

Having a “volunteer” staff

Using crude tools

To satiate his

Hateful fantasies

Makes it not only “legal”

It is done en masse

With no justification

Save poking a bear

To justify

Killing the bear

Because (and I’m assuming)

His parents weren’t fit to be

.
Justifications based on
Perceived meanings
Clouds judgements
Fires fundamentalism

.
‘I’m against abortion, except like in cases of rape.’
That’s like saying, ‘yes, a fetus is a human being,
Unless his dad is an asshole.’

Doug Stanhope

.

Rape and incest become bizarre loopholes

Under every circumstance a fetus must be saved

Less of course the father (seed planter) is an asshole

That would not only make every abortion legal

It would make them mandatory and necessary

Must be the metaphorical equivalent that it is okay

To kill a country’s kids, if the leader “dad” is an asshole.

 

Seems to be John Bolton’s argument for starting a war with Iran. Preparing to send in over a hundred thousand abortionists to kill and extract full grown out of the womb fetuses

.
“We gotta come to some new ideas about life folks ok? I’m not being blase about abortion, it might be a real issue, it might not, doesn’t matter to me. What matters is that if you believe in the sanctity of life then you believe it for life of all ages.

//

They’re killing children!” What does that mean? They reach a certain age and they’re off your fucking love-list?

//

You either love all people of all ages or you shut the fuck up.”

– Bill Hicks

While contemplating this post, noticed one of those “pro-life” billboards with a little pink kid standing in a field of green grass with a sky blue background, with raised hand. Underneath it the words.

Take my hand, not my life.

All well and good, however couldn’t the same message apply if the image was of a brown kid standing on sand with buildings burning in the background.

Take my hand, not my life.

.
Wouldn’t the same apply to an Iranian or whichever enemy, the latest hawk hole opts to kill in the constant mix of who is who or where is the next bogeyman who resides in Eastasia, Oceania or Eurasia?

 

If you’re so pro-life, do me a favour: don’t lock arms and block medical clinics. If you’re so pro-life, lock arms and block cemeteries.

– Bill Hicks

 

Starting with the military cemeteries, where somehow celebrated soldiers get the most attention they will never receive.

A Radio Fix

The stereo is broken

In my truck

Which allows

Me to hear

Clanking and

Other odd noises

Like it is ready

To fall apart

Best get

The radio fixed

Then the rest

Will take care of itself

 

 

 

 

Trapped @ Work

Is not normally a problem

However, with all my deliveries done

I was making my second to last pickup

75 miles from home and my honey

In the alley of the shipper

Across from a bar with a back patio

Behind the main street historic district

At about 1:30 in the afternoon

The lunch crowd was gone

Empty glasses clinking being removed

The temperature was perfect

Wafting in a slight breeze from the south

Was a sweet blend of

Barbecue sauce and Chris Stapleton

Blues-ing out Tennessee Whiskey

Wishing I was done and out of uniform

In comfortable jeans and a t shirt

Sharing and savoring the sensation

With my sweet – ums

Feeling the warmth of the

Sun and her smile on my face

Basking in both glows

With nary a care in the world

Save wanting those

Magical moments to last forever

Like when we were at a beach side bar

With no place to go and no where to be

Enjoying surf sounds and Jimmy Buffett

Some suds and succulent shrimp

.

Based On Projections

The world you see and

Sensorially experience is

Based on projections

On a holographic screen

Broadcast by the mind’s eye

The knock on wood that

You feel and hear is at best

Based on projections

Of the reality in each moment

You choose to experience

The voice that is reading

This to you is your voice

Received by non-existent ears

Think not, try whispering

In a voice that cannot be heard

From time to time it is necessary

To test the projector, so here goes

First you must grab a lemon

One that is as cool as a cucumber

Bright as the morning sun

Feel its dimpled texture

Let it roll a bit on the cutting board

Grab a really sharp knife and

Slice it slowly seeing and feeling

The mist of juices gentle spray

Set down one half and hold

The other, removing a seed or two

Bring it up to your nose and mouth

Squeeze a bit then bite into it

You will realize what to do with

A mouthful of saliva that was

Manifested from a non-existent lemon

One based on a projection

By reading words

Projected from a screen

Or are they

It probably would be easy

To prove me incredibly wrong

Even though I am always right

But alas

That is based on projections
