Meet the New Boss

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. The Who, Won't Get Fooled Again
Tomorrow, at long last, we have the midterm elections. And, they will change little, if anything. The Republicans will still do their thing and the Democrats, theirs. Business as usual. Once upon a time, that was fine, because at least they were, if not on the same page, in the same chapter. Now, they are not even in the same book.
We are in the midst of a massive, overwhelming paradigm change. People do not see the World as they once did. Fine. That is the way it shoud be, but in such shifts, there is always great chaos. The problem is, in great part, we are trying to deal with that using the old style politics. The old game of fixers and manipulators, of threats and rants, od accusations and wild promises, of backroom deals and campaign fund payoffs, will not help. In fact, it will make things worse.
The electorate is frustrated. That is whu we are seeing such viscous rhetoric. I will not be surprised if, here and there, we see substantial violence in tomorrow's wake.
We will be stuck once more, with the same old politicians going about their work with the same old, tired, routines. No changes, even in the face of a Nation and a World that are changing ar a frantic pace.
I would say, as I gave in the past, a pox on them all, but is insufficient. Nothing that will happen that will solve our staggering load of problems. Vote Republican or Democrat, whatever you choose. Or just ignore the whole rotten mess.  Spend the day doing something that really counts. Make something, Learn something. Help some one. Heck, hus go out and pass a football around' at least you'll get some exercise. Then get ready to duck, because something si going to hit the fan.
The only way around this mess is, I am sorry to say, to learn all you can about what we are discovering about our Earth and its inhabitants. This will give you a clue about the nature of the paradigm shift and some ideas of how we need to change. Or, at the very least, it will give you an idea of how to get around the agents of the status quo. The end of the old age is here and they do not know that. But they will. Harsh thoughts? Yes, but this can be a harsh World. The best way out of this is to just ignore the rantings of power mad old men and women.
I will leave you a line from Dylan's All Along the Watchtower. 'Let us not talk falsely now for the hour is getting late.' Have a Blessed, healthy and happy day.

America - More Wild Speculation, Part 2

Last time, I talked a bit about the existence of a shadow government that may possibly be plotting to take control of the US, for any of a variety of evil purposes. How, you may ask, would they actually go about that?

Glad you asked, because there are any of a number of possibilities. Of course, all of this is just wild speculation, maybe. But it is fun, so let me proceed.

Let's start with natural disasters. You may think that such things are out of man's control. Well, not exactly. When I was a youngster, back inn the dim past, cloud seeding was a hot idea. Silver iodide crystals were dropped into burgeoning clouds in hopes of making rain. That failed, but, undeterred, we began seeding hurricanes. The thinking was that maybe by intensifying them, while they were out in the deep ocean, they would burn themselves out before reaching land. They didn't. Instead, they intensified and hit land  Then came a new idea, electromagnetic pulses. Now, the government has implemented that program, first as HARP, then as DARPA, and assure us that they are just stimulating the ionosphere to improve satellite signals, but the folks who invented the technology state quite clearly that these pulses can be used to muck about with the weather, not that we would ever think of doing that. Would we? Then we have chemtrails. These are vapor trails from jets we are told. Well, again, when I was younger, living in South Florida, we saw vapor trails. They were an occasional sight, and lasted a few minutes, before fading. Now, I see many of them crisscrossing the sky and they linger for an hour or more. Do they affect the weather? Who knows? Who even knows what they are dumping? But I do know this. I am in South Georgia. The other day, the long term forecast was for sunny and warmer. I went out, saw a whole lot of chemtrails and, sure enough, the weather turned rainy then very cold. It should be in the 70s here and I am freezing. But, I am sure that I would be told that it is just a coincidence. Funny, I keep running into a lot of coincidences recently.

Then we have the specter of  terrorism and/or civil unrest. We certainly have seen evidence of both in the last year or two, and while I imagine that mostly they are the work of malcontents, I just cannot help remembering a little program from the 60s, COINTELPRO. Look it up sometime when you have a few days to spend online and you will see what our government is capable of, We are assured that such things no longer go on, but why should we believe that?

Finally, the most screwball idea of all, a laughable bit of nonsense, except for the fact that it was suggested by the esteemed Henry Kissinger. Henry K suggested that the best way to get Americans to accept strict control was by faking an Alien invasion. After all, we have the technology; a lot, if not all of the UFOs spotted are military test projects. All you have to do is land one, dress up some guys in ET costumes and report that to the media. The media, in turn, will do their job and work the Nation into a paranoid frenzy. Then, our benevolent government will spring into action, and declare a National Emergency. What happens then? Stay tuned for part 3.
