Yesterday, Michael Rivero made the statement that he would no longer link to AP articles because links create traffic and he doesn\u2019t feel like supporting that. Yes, AP is a collection of anonymous, informed sources that lie in support of the fascist intent of corporate world takeover. They\u2019re a pack of whores and their employers are pimps in pinstripes. <\/p>\n
This struck me and I realized that I have been unwittingly assisting in this ♫as time goes by♫, so I\u2019m going to do what I usually do when I learn or understand something that I hadn\u2019t known or understood before, I\u2019m going to apply it. In this case I\u2019m going to apply it across the board and take it several steps further by no longer linking to \u2018any\u2019 MSM news site again. I\u2019ll just say I saw it in the MSM, you\u2019ll have to look for it on your own<\/p>\n
The way my mind works is that I reflexively eject most thoughts that come into my mind because they are looking for a free lunch at my expense. They want to feed at the well of my desire or longing by giving the impression that they are what I desire or long for. The thoughts that I do not eject are the ones that, for whatever reason, catch my attention and cause me to investigate them; why did they show up? Where did they come from? And\u2026 what are they trying to tell me?<\/p>\n
Here is something I discovered a long time ago. When I look into something, I usually find something. Here is something I discovered more recently, there\u2019s usually something underneath the initial discovery and something more underneath that and\u2026 so on and so forth. So when I look at something of interest now, I don\u2019t stop with the surface acquisition. I keep studying and probing and\u2026 you know what? It seems to me that you can discover the secret of the universe in anything, if you just keep digging into any particular thing, until you discover its essential nature. That\u2019s because the essential nature of anything is the essential nature of everything. You theoretical mathematicians with a metaphysical bent already know this. Everything real that we doubt, because we don\u2019t know how to manipulate it, is proven in spades, if we could just learn that the passionate intensity of the surface and the bottomless depths are the same. It\u2019s just a difference in perspective.<\/p>\n
Ergo\u2026 all truths are connected somewhere and all lies are too. A firm focus of inquiry into any lie causes it to reveal its inconsistency and disappear. A firm focus of inquiry into any truth causes it to appear and reveal its quality.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m going to leave this area of mind play now and try to say in plain terms what I came here to say this morning. I can already feel some people\u2019s eyes glazing over and some are asking themselves why this isn\u2019t at Visible Origami instead of simmering here in the Petri Dish. So\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2026what Michael said got me thinking deeper into the thing and I realized that in my efforts to speak the truth there are times, no doubt, when I am dragging engines of disinformation along with me as object examples of what is not the truth and sometimes using them as evidence of something, when\u2026 these engines of disinformation never told the truth at any time even when it looks to us like they did.<\/p>\n
This got me thinking that I ought to turn my lens of inquiry upon myself when I go about the business of passing on information because, the odds are, I\u2019m not right all the time and that means I\u2019m casting some amount of shadow in my passage in pursuit of the light. I was thinking that this is how it always gets back to what it was after awhile. A whole lot of people set out to speak the truth and live correctly. The passionate exuberance of youth finds us dreaming of our careers as doctors and lawyers, policemen and politicians, where we make a difference in the world but\u2026 the majority wind up doing exactly what their predecessors did before them. It starts with little corruptions and sooner or later, self interest, along with ease and expediency are driving the car.<\/p>\n
Every generation finds out what their antecedents discovered. They all make deals with the darkness. It is the rare individual that hangs in there at the loss of what everyone else sold out for. This poor fool who won\u2019t make the necessary accommodations, now becomes an embarrassment to everyone who did make accommodations \u2026and a pain in the ass to the bankers and merchants that own everyone else\u2019s ass. The next thing you know is that someone is muttering, \u201cWill no one free me of this troublesome priest?\u201d<\/p>\n
I mentioned how most of the thoughts that enter our mind are just looking for a free lunch. It also serves that once they get that lunch they will be back for dinner and the following day\u2019s breakfast. They get larger ♫as time goes by♫ and some of them come to require all your efforts just to feed them and this is how people get old in a hurry and wind up spending their lives to accommodate entities that mean them no good.<\/p>\n
All the alternatives media eventually becomes the MSM. All the successful efforts to drive out corruption eventually become generators of corruption. Every nation based on the concept of personal liberty eventually turns into a state of tyranny. This is because of the compromises and adjustments they all make once they\u2019ve become trusted institutions and they work that trust all the way to the point where no one trusts them anymore. That\u2019s called success.<\/p>\n
This was my intent in not having any advertising; not trading links (even though people get mad at me and think I\u2019m a jerk), not playing footsie with larger alternative media and being dropped by many after it became clear that our brief courtship was not going to result in my dropping my pants and I wound up being linked at the same two larger sites I started out with.<\/p>\n
The prosecuting district attorney nails the bad guys and then gets nailed because he was nailing prostitutes; getting setup by agents of the folks he nailed on his way to wherever it was he finally didn\u2019t arrive at. The political priest moves up in the ranks and then slides his hands down into the pants of the innocents he was charged with protecting. If you want a relatively crime free society then you have to be aware of the criminal elements and manage them but you had better manage them inside yourself to begin with.<\/p>\n
The people being screwed the most at the moment are the people who played by the rules and the people doing most of the screwing are the people who perverted the rules for their own enterprises and spend their time praising and enforcing virtues they never possessed to begin with. This is how come full time profligates spend all their time preaching about continence and abstinence and laughing at the one\u2019s who take them seriously because they hung the \u2018free lunch\u2019 sign in their minds the moment they realized it was a lot less work to pretend to be something instead of actually doing it. They praise industry and savings while they offshore the one and loot the other.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no way this system survives because it has RUN ITS TERM. This is something you need to know. This isn\u2019t something you fix, because it was broken to begin with. The best we can hope for is an increase in the exposure and prosecution of the criminals (and that is in progress) while we build something new out of the ashes. It won\u2019t mean anything though unless it really is something new and it won\u2019t get anywhere unless we build it into ourselves in the first place and remember that quote about \u2018eternal vigilance being the price of liberty\u2019.<\/p>\n
No man becomes a slave who did not sell himself into servitude in the first place \u2026and all because he thought he wanted something he found out he didn\u2019t want, shortly after he got it. It tastes like ashes because it is composed of ashes; the burned out fruits of misinformed desire.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re coming up on the denouement and we\u2019re going to be sitting in judgment of ourselves. It would have been nice if more of us had tumbled to the reality of that a long time ago.<\/p>\n
