It's been a couple of weeks since I last posted. Between my hectic schedule and being sick for the last week it's not been high on my to do list.
Today I wish to briefly discuss how we are kept divided, not as one would use division in a mathematical sense to simplify to common denominators. Instead, the division is being done to keep us from finding our common denominators.
A perfect example of this comes to us from the likes of Reddit this week.
There is a sub there, called anti-work. The creator of the sub is a transgender dude who is extremely liberal (code for mentally ill these days), to the point that all who aren't also on board with the woke ideas aren't welcome on that sub to lodge their equally valid experiences regarding inhumane working conditions for minimum pay.
I lurked there often in the last year, quietly noting both legitimate and non legitimate complaints.
In the last week, that founder went on an interview with Fox news. Looking unshowered, they streamed onto Fox news with the pigsty that is their bedroom behind them. Admitting they have only worked part time as a dog walker while claiming that laziness is a virtue.
The skeptic in myself believes this person was a controlled narrative used to create a throw the baby out with the bathwater scenario. Sort of like we see elsewhere when charged of being a fascist, or a racist etc are lodged as soon as one disagrees with a viewpoint that quite often is exactly what one is being slandered as is.
It saddens me to see how these casualties continue to amass before us, making any stand on a sensible position vulnerable to a sort of guilt by association.
The fact is, the average citizen of the world is a victim of these manipulators of narratives and economies. Regardless of skin color, regardless of faith, regardless of the vast array of differences they would have us hating one another over. Have us fighting one another as we leave our neighbors as casualties as those perpetuating this are safely ensconced in their vast estates safely.
It's always these absurd extremes they present to us, so absurd no one in their right mind would ever wish to be accused of standing next to such. Even if much of the core is FACT.
Despite myself disliking that person who went on Fox news, and is apparently a self admitted rapist of not one but two victims, doesn't mean that they didn't make some valid points. Just because that person doesn't want non mentally ill people to be in solidarity with them doesn't mean I don't when they are right.
There is a huge problem in this world with the rich squeezing more sweat from us, demanding so much that the homeless have become an epidemic. My country used to be able to have one person (dad) work while mom stayed home and raised the kids. That family was buying a home, owned cars, took vacations, was able to afford medical and have a retirement plan growing.
Those days are long gone, replaced by two working and still struggling for basic necessities, more at the bottom falling off into homelessness.
None of that truth is gone just because the narrative masters who set this whole shit show up chose to make Doreen, the off the wall creator of the sub anti work the face of the supposed movement.
As we see with race baiting, gender baiting etc they always choose the most absurd image to present as the face.
It's time people wake up and stop associating the ludicrous position points the powers causing this dissent are creating for us to stand on.
If we keep letting them redefine truths with their outlandish examples we will always be powerless as we fight in these little divisions that don't simplify a thing, they in fact make it all so much more difficult.
You wouldn't let them do this with math, stop letting them use this formula that doesn't work mathematically on us in social truth situations.
You don't have to be my friend to be right. You're right regardless if I like you or not. You don't have to be right most of the time even for the times you are right to be true.
You can even be a monster of a person who deserves punishment for crimes you commit and still at times hold a truth as self evident and talk of that truth. Your being a piece of shit monster in no way defrays from the truth you also hold along with your monster ideas.
I can support the truth of your words even if your base nature turns my stomach and makes me feel ill.
If enough of us are able to embrace the truth of the above statement, those who squeeze us for sweat we've run out of will lose their preferred choice of battlefield.
A very similar situation to what is happening in Venezuela today, my grandmother was able to raise 4 grandchildren, give them hope for a better life, send them to college, although life was hard, few things were missing. We were always able to evolve as people. Today, generating income with international currency, there is no way I can send my daughter to college, and if I do, it will certainly be by making sacrifices of all kinds. If I were still working for the state I would have no hope of sending her.
Yes, it's everywhere.
Many from Mexico and South America sneak into the U.S. daily to make a better life. In Tucson what we would see due to how expensive it is here is it not be uncommon for 20 or more Mexican men to share housing with 5-7 men sleeping per room. They would send the money home that was left, but it was still only doable if they split costs in large groups like that.
I currently live in one of the higher cost of living areas in the U.S. My current rent alone once one adds on incidentals is around 1700.00 a month. My lease is up soon, and they are wanting to raise the rent by 300.00 a month to a little over 2000.00 a month. That alone is equal to what an average worker here makes in a month. To add insult onto this, the landlords all want you to prove you earn 3 times the rent, so to qualify for the 2000.00 a month one needs to prove they earn 6000.00 a month in income. Most folks here don't come close to earning 72000.00 a year.
Even food is outrageous. When I was a young man one could buy bread 4 loaves for 1.00. Now, if you want a loaf of bread that isn't fructose GMO poisoned bread one will pay 5.00 for one loaf.
Healthcare is for only wealthy people or those on government reliance now, since the Democrats made it expensive and renamed it affordable care. Used to before that I would pay about 120.00 a month from my check, and then have like a 10.00 copay per visit. Now they want several hundred dollars a month and that's if I agree to pay the first 8000.00 of medical expenses out of pocket.
I mentioned on your post I too am sick right now. But I have had to work despite being sick because I can't afford a doctor visit for permission for time off from work, and without that note I get written up and a step closer to being fired.
They have us all fighting amongst ourselves over stupid shit while they squeeze us all with impunity.
I dream of a day where all of us everywhere can shed ourselves of these chains that so many of our neighbors demand we must wear. They have weaponized so many of our neighbors against us we spend to much energy trying to slave away while not becoming a casualty against our ignorant neighbors who have been taught we are the problem.
Why are you not feeling well? If you give me a clue I may be able to assist with an alternative/natural medication.
Some congestion, sensitive skin, had chills the other night that evolved into a nice night sweat as I slept. Mild headache, my eyeballs hurt. Weakness. I tire easily etc.
I've been taking lots of Vitamin D as well as making myself oregano oil capsules. Also been drinking Star Anise tea. I figure it should be over soon. It doesn't help I've been working in this, and my route is at night when the temperatures here have been regularly going below 0 degrees.
See if you can get hold of any 1000mg tablets of L-Arginina, They work well for all round health. https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements-l-arginine/art-20364681
Nettle tea, pine needle tea also work well, 2 to 3 times per day.
We use dandelion syrup too for fever/chills, sore throat etc, boiled in water for a few hours with sugar till brown, a bottle will last all winter.
Sad state of affairs, the media are a large part of the problem, and so is any state, without both, I feel certain 90% of people would get along just fine.
The media are enemies of the people. One of my first signs on how deep the corruption is was when I saw how blatantly they can lie, using those lies to attack the very freedoms we hold and no one holds them accountable. Daily they print and televise sedition against any true patriot with not only impunity, but endorsement from every institution charged with the safekeeping of the Republic.
This is because almost all major media in all countries are controlled by those who have the power and interest to control the entire system. So that any information they produce is solely to represent the interests of the shareholders in the media. This then makes the media no longer function as a public space to speak the truth, but more as a propaganda tool to satisfy power.
Same in most if not all countries, only a few own the many stations, worldwide included print form, I hear Blackrock and Vanguard own most of the alleged "news".
I saw the other day that Blackrock also owns the music catalogs of these has been musicians who are trying to get Rogan cancelled now. Reason being they also are reported to own a huge chunk of Phizer as well. Time for the monopoly to be torn asunder and the power brokers within it to be tried for treason and crimes against humanity.
You saw correct, I was going to cover it in an article, but do not want to waste time on it, onwards and upwards with new ideas, out with the old one's.
We can't handle the truth. We just want a piece of truth that support our opinions and interests. Welcome to the post-truth era.
I agree many are like that. I really hope to get some land away from the cities so I can let them have the war with one another they are speeding towards and be left to my own devices away from all of that.
I am sorry to hear that you are ill. I hope you will soon make a full recovery and be able to return to your normal activities.
Governments and the media manipulate everything as they please while the population suffers and gets poorer and poorer.
Thank you. I can't wait to feel better too. We had a huge storm here yesterday, and I had to go shovel several feet of snow from the vehicle so I could take my partner to work. She's now feeling sick and I feel bad she had to go to work, as well as I wasn't feeling great to be shoveling either. Luckily she only has a short day today so I can go pick her up in a few hours now and then i forecast naps in our future, lol.
The governments are at a crossroads as the people are fed up. What concerns me is they have much weaponry that didn't exist in times past, and I lean towards the idea they are in the process of killing a lot of us off so we won't be a threat to them over what they've done and continue to do.
I hope you and your wife are well now. And that the snow has melted XD
Thank you. Unfortunately, we both just tested positive for Covid. I decided to take a test now that its been almost 2 weeks I've been sick and she began feeling bad several days ago.
So sorry to read this, hope you both get over it soon. I send you lots of encouragement, remember to drink lots of water and comply with the treatment they send you.
Thank you. Sadly there is no treatment as that requirs a doctor which is not for people in our economic means reach. So lots of fluids, oregano oil capsules and vitamin D with some Star Anise tea.
I hope you are feeling better. I have heard good references to oregano oil, although I have never used it.

Let me use this medium to express my sincere thanks for the rich knowledge and content you offer daily on blurt through your great writings ; You truly have a rich reservoir of knowledge; May more useful insight be given to you .
Cheers
Thank you so much for reading. I was heartened to see you post again as I was concerned as it had been awhile since i saw you post last.
Your post on staying and experiencing the lack of connection with the village is a testament to a belief I've held since I was young. Quality and love do not originate in possessions and comforts, although those can enhance it. Love and quality are where one feels closeness, where despite hardship and pain one knows they are at home.
Like yourself, I would always choose a life with little and struggle if love and appreciation is present, over one that is cold and easy. It is in that latter that one so often finds loneliness and despair despite the thought that lack of struggle would negate that fact.
I also wonder at those you are inspiring. I read a great book as a child called Lord Of Light. It was a piece of fiction about the "gods" who rules the world, and they would don titles that suited their attributes. They were in charge of reincarnation and many other things, but they kept the world in ignorance so their rule couldn't be challenged.
One of the original gods became angry over the way they ruled, and he set about teaching the people of the world the ancient mysteries. In one of his schemes, he became the Buddha.
The one known as Yama sent one of his assassins to kill him. But in his quest, he ended up being converted and became his top follower.
Yama finally went to kill the old god himself, and in his path stood his assassin, and they battled fiercely until Yama killed him.
Yama finally made his way to the old one, and was trapped. In their discussion before the old one left him to get out of the trap, Yama marveled that he had chosen the old mystery school of Buddhism, asking if he really believed all of that and considered himself the Buddha.
He replied of course not, that the real Buddha had been killed by Yama earlier that day on his way in, referencing the assassin that he had sent.
The message being that the student had become what the master had never been at all in this case.
I always found that an incredible telling of how one can see an idea that another has cast light upon, and embrace it so fully they not only become what it is they were drawn to in that illumination, but even surpassed the one who taught/illuminated that for them.
Sorry for such a long description. I wanted to share it as I see you discuss your work there, and I sometimes wonder what eyes are watching you and taking seeds from your actions that may one day grow into a tree the likes of which you can't imagine right now. :)
Since our tension-laden existential situations often becloud our reasoning and twist our consciousness; they easily also magnify and exaggerate our needs, build unfounded fears in us, make us unimaginative and conceal our responsibilities from us. Once caught in this disposition or mindset, most people in seeking to secure and preserve their interest easily resort to very extreme and often very irrational means thinking that these are the most viable ways of upholding their most cherished interest. Mine, was a pre-disposed mindset of selfless interest towards this community. Been focus, asking for that strength from God, and what I believed in kept me going on this patchy ground.
You will agree with me that, human beings perceive reality in different perspectives. Some will quickly weigh in when one is trying his/her best to add value to himself or a people where he superintendents. While others, finds it difficult to appreciate the good works one is doing. In the latter, we could figure out personalities been blinded by the idols of the mind and their sense of judgment beclouded by emotions. So, should we worry and feel discouraged by their position; No. That’s the paradox of human existential situations in play.
While embarking on these projects, I had weighed and conditioned my mind towards setbacks. For instance, the lack of network coverage in this community as been reported in my post earlier; has been a challenge I’m learning to adjust to. Fact is, the world had changed from the epoch of digital native to a period of rebirth in technology advancement. Not been able to access these technology invariably catapult us back to the medieval era. Despite the challenges I raised, I had a choice, and that choice was to sit back and experience the pains men and women of this community go through. It’s really excruciating, but huge lessons were learnt, as I remain steadfast on my set out goals.
In your comment section, you made mention of “a life of little struggle, if love and appreciation is present over one that is cold and easy”. There is a popular saying: “No Pain, No Gain”. For that singular act of love, a savior was born, despite the ingratitude of the world against his words. Also, our praise and thanksgiving adds nothing to his greatness. When we put our minds on the earthly accolades that the world offers, we are diverting from our core ethical principles of actions done willingly. So, out of this same love, I made path to myself to cling and hang in there no matter how others don’t appreciate nor see my little efforts.
Finally, those who have eyes are really watching; and in your words are taking seeds to fashion and prepare themselves for continuity when I’m know longer there. For the meantime, I’m bent on contributing my quota towards the re-vitalization of this community. I’m happy to say, it’s been an encouraging moments here on blurt.
Thanks for your great input !

All the problems you describe are implications of the practice of liberalism economic system that is run throughout the world. In everyone's head, everyone only cares about their satisfaction and profit, without caring about the condition of others.
The economic system, which seems to have been built to make it easier for everyone to regulate themselves, has become an oppressive system, especially for those who are weak. Amid these conditions, the weak also have to accept the fact that the prices of all their necessities of life continue to rise which forces them to work many times harder than usual. This condition is then used by those in power to take advantage of the energy expended by those who are weak.
This has been exacerbated here in the west by the breakdown of families. There isn't the loyalty and caring that once existed here, and many grow sick and old and no one seems to care.
Truthful people are very rare to find these days. Everyone try to do their things even in a right way or wrong way. Without truth, at some point everyone have to face their faith. So be truthful every time .
Yeah, life is to short not to be truthful. Wasting all that energy to maintain positions one doesn't have their heart in. Such a waste of time, a shame really that so many aren't true to themselves.
It boggles my mind really how much energy many will spend to maintain an illusion. Imagine spending all that energy just so you can feel miserable because you aren't walking a path that has heart.
We all try to live in a dream world whatever we are doing good or bad. Just want to pretend for others we are ok even thought we are regretting about our choices. Illusion is in the world more than ever and people always ignore the truth. Don't know What will happen to us if we neglect our truth continuously..
Just recently I was wondering how many people know the basic methods of propaganda, constant repetition or framing for example. In this picture, you probably know it, there is an old or young woman. People argue about it because they only know one way of looking at it, the "right" way they were taught.
But I also have some hope. Because the powerful have never shown their ugly face as clearly as in the last two years. It's a roller coaster ride between hope and worry.
My concern is they are being so obvious blatantly showing their faces it must be on purpose. They want us to know, and it worries me why.
LOL - you must stop lurking with trannies!
Pffft...as if there is any better place to lurk than where the trannies are hanging out. You need to get with the times. With this new shift in correctness, all the real leaders should be trannies. They are truly heroes, that's what I read years ago when Bruce became Caitlyn. Heroes buddy.
Heroes.
I dream of a day when the armed forces will only accept trannies. Then our military will only have heroes in their ranks. An unstoppable army of heroes.

Nice post with good explanation!
There are always such people who try to implement weird and stupid things in our lives. They disturb our peaceful social and financial life. So, shouldn't let them do these things. We must stop them.
I thankful to your creativity۔
