We are indeed a strange breed.
But for politicians and Fiat monopoly money, would we be content?
To my mind at least the war that is 50 minutes from my door seems surreal in more ways than 1.
Shopping yesterday at Lidl supermarket went like this, we pulled into the car park and behind us was a troop carrier in green; inside were 10 or 15 soldiers in full combat gear (minus weapons). You know the sort, green canvass back, large and large enough to hold 50 or more soldiers.
And so it was we went shopping surrounded by soldiers doing the same, if that is my new normal, so be it, but it is strange to say the least.
Since all crime-ministers started spouting the WEF saying/expression "build back better" and in true political double talk/speak "everything" has got worse.
Let's see now below what build back better looks like.
Soaring fuel prices worldwide.
Food shortages and empty shelves in grocery stores.
Rampant inflation.
Electricity shortages.
- Another war.
I could go on but need I? You see what I see.
Yesterday the evil bastard that is Putin wrote into law some sort of decree forcing 134,500 young men to join his army of killers to slaughter more innocent people next door to me in the Ukraine.
It must feel oh so self gratifying being able to do so with the stroke of a pen, force 134,500 people to go and fight his war hey, he does not have to look after the displaced people, the now homeless that now reside here with me, with us, the 4 million plus souls we have taken in here.
Now something stinks about this whole thing to my mind at least, I can see no reason why this was not over and done with in a single day. You can not tell me battle hardened troops that had been boots on ground in Syria for a decade have no clue how to fight.
The utter chaos, the chaotic manner of this war stinks to high heaven, like it was meant to drag on, have no solution, no end.
- @offgridlife Note - I detest ALL politicians equally, all of them.
Surreal in more ways than one.
I am led to believe that American and Russian astronauts live on a space-station and some of them just came back. All smiles like best of friends, is that not in and of itself a complete farce?
I think we can all agree on one thing, all we want is peace and to be left alone to live our life happily, but then we have narcissistic polis named ticians that seem hell bent on molding/moulding the world in their view, to their ideals.
Psychopathic "look at me, look at how important I am" morons the lot of them, and people vote for them. The latter astounds me.
My stance with regards war is it is useless, so are politicians.
Whilst we pick up the pieces, house the displaced, help them blend in, feed them too, little Hitler Putin gets his boy soldiers to fight his poxy war and die in his name.
And space tossers be being tossing in space, apparently.
We spend billions looking for "intelligent life" but why the feck would they want to meet us? We spend every year, every single one in a war somewhere on this rock we call earth - killing each other, and for what.
Can anyone give me a reason why an alien would want to meet any of us when we can not even get on with each other?
Even online we argue, about what? Silly little opinions. What ever happened to discussion, discourse and agreeing to disagree.
Have we learned nothing!
Not a single one of us learns anything by ignoring someone else's point/pint of view. We have all become a mirror image of politicians with our own arrogance, are we all narcissists after all, all just as psychopathic as politicians, serious question?
Meanwhile in the not so Great Britain.
People are arguing over men now being asked if they are pregnant when they visit a hospital, I shit yee not.
And arguing about "can a woman grow a penis!"....
Now you think I am making this up, so have a few links below.
- Julia Hartley Brewer asks Labour MP: 'Can a woman have a penis?'"
"Hospitals now asking men if they are pregnant before beginning cancer treatment: Report"
Question = Am I in a lunatic asylum?
Serious question that one, with people arguing about insane subjects like those two above, beam me up Scottie please, it never used to be like this, did it?
I feel like I have been down some wormhole like those you see on TV shows where you keep getting morphed into a different reality, a different world, it never used to be this way, did it?.....
50 blurt goes to the best answer below with regards to the question above, paid out when this article matures at 7 days.
Please share this article so we can get a conversation going with everyone's views, let us make it a discussion not an argument and not a war, all opinions welcome, no matter what they are. Let us talk with no anger, just opinion's, we all have one after all.
When we can all talk, all be free to disagree without name calling, accept other people may not think the same, then we are on to something, to make a better world, that responsibility starts with SELF.
Let the conversation begin, freedom of speech and all.
Have a simply fantastic day.
Peace and out.
The old joke about "the lunatics have taken over the asylum" has it back to front - the lunatics have always run the asylums, they own them.
By having retarded questions such as being pregnant forces most people to firstly accept the question, then answer it, while all the time thinking WTF. Cognitive dissonance.
IMO the "lunatics" need mandatory therapy - a dark cell - for the greatest benefit to us all.
Really should pump this vein. This is the POV of Political Ponerology. That the psychotyrants are insane - really, they have a disease - they have diseased minds - and therefore need therapy.
That so many others are becoming diseased in synchrony with the tyranny makes treatment more difficult.
Psychiatry protects actual psychopathic elite - just read the DSM section on psychopathy - which is why psychiatry and "medicine" are now thoroughly anti-human.
The Ukraine war has really shone a light with regards to the "pick a side" and chant from the stands, where were they all for Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria etc.
Trans-human agenda, people seem to like Elon Musk yet he wants to put a microchip inside every human on this planets head, see I do live in the twilight zone for real.
And Lone Skum plans to cover the whole sky in satellites beaming down pulsed microwaves - so will be nowhere to hide. Why do people like this tyrant?
I think the "pick a side" dilemma is more about avoiding the tyranny in one's own yard.
The trip-switch was astonishing - from coronati sheep to howling dogs.
Pavlov will be smiling.
In his later experiments he tried to see if he could make dogs insane - not just salivating for food.
I recall the bombing of Baghdad was shown live on the BBC - was late night but I was still awake - and was thinking... why are they showing us this? Are we supposed to be cheering?
Saddam was a fool, but that wasn't the point - stupid patsy, one of so many stuffed tyrants.
Was it all just to ensure most of us are draped in a flag?
I have multiple nationalities and I fly... none of their flags.
I missed that one, maybe I was abroad, but then again I never watched the BBC anyway, far to gov orientated via that license fee they try to force people to pay, I had a fine once for not having one, never paid it, never will.
BBC dramas used to be so much better than Hollywooden movies - Brits are just better at making nasty complex dramas. Gone all woketard now - annoying.
Anyway, we were never a TV-watching-family, was just there, so just the 4 channels. This was 1990! I prob had internet then, but was cheap so no cable channels.
We were walking one evening last summer, my wife and I, and this light appeared in the night sky above but to the right and coming towards us, the size of a star., then another, then another and so on and so forth. They disappeared from sight just above our head, then two also went over from left to right crossing paths with the others.
That is his star-link, only seen it once, but seeing is believing. We counted 17 in total that night. At first my wife thought UFO's or aliens, as you do.
Iridium satellites have been up there for years.
Surprised you could see them. Must have been very small - like a star.
the Skum plan is 100x more than iridium!
I might have a crack at that when our raspberry pi 400 turns up as it is Linux based and that is my thing, hate windows, detest it with a passion.
Want to teach daughter type person how to build a pc.
And I can leave the pi at the farm in the winter and if it gets stolen, I do not lose a great deal of money, unlike a laptop.
The video below does look animated, and moving faster than what we saw. Slightly bigger than a star I would say, but weird to see all the same, I guess the moonlight caught them and that was while walking in town - as at the farm there is no light pollution and I can see every constellation on a good night, but not seen them since, just the odd one on occasions. But much smaller.
Are the Musk variant low orbiting? No idea, never looked into it.
This looks animated...
... but you can say if they were that bright!?
No not that bright and not that big.
They ran a poll about "can men get pregnant" on Fakebook, the poll was done by talk radio, the same show Julia is on in this video above, the results were 54% YES, 1% don't know, 45% NO.
Either the YES was taking the piss out of a dumb question or else I would suggest as a species, we are DOOMED.
Hope I can watch all the way to the end-credits.
Have I indeed been transported via the twilight zone? I used to watch that, and tales of the unexpected, I never expected to live in both!
One series that is even closer to the bone is Fringe - much later than those you mention.
More interesting IMO than X-files (the recent extension was pathetic).
Indeed, fiction has a hard time competing with reality.
My overwhelming feelings remain "told you so!" and "not surprised" - just disappointed.
Nobody believed me when I said that stupidity is dangerous - they would insist on calling it "common sense". Dunning Kruger gone global. And it isn't just about IQ-style intelligence - it is about inner intelligence, inner perceptions. Interesting that there isn't a common word for it - it isn't EQ either, that's largely behaviorist.

Try awareness or conscious , two very underrated words . ;-)
yeah, but everyone believes they have both.
Clarity is used a lot in Tibetan, to distinguish it from normal awareness.
So one finds quite common that "right actions" arise from "clear awareness" - hence, no need for a moral code - but beyond good and evil requires a certain consciousness. ;-)
Daughter is struggling with c++ so going old school and working our way up, I collect old computers too, feck me what don't I collect.
I've watched Fringe. I really enjoyed that show. I think I actually watched it twice from start to finish on Netflix a few years ago.
Superb answer but from here on in I am offering no opinion and leaving everyone else to express their own. 👍
Your anger is well justified, and certainly passionate. Since we agree to disagree, I would like to offer my view on the astronauts and suggest that their camaraderie is not a farce. I would much prefer those astronauts in Office, as these are human beings who have mastered the importance of living in harmony and peace for the survival of the whole; something politicians are not required to learn. Quite the opposite, in fact!
Debating can only be beneficial if there is a genuine interest to understand if our arguments are indeed truthful, and not simply a contest of needing to be right by any means. There's a big difference between an open-minded debater and a hardline contrarian.
On the "alien" issue, I agree with @small1axe and will add that many contactees have often said that positive ETs are actually afraid of us due to our excessive violence.
You may already know this, but American, British & Isreali politicians have a LONG history of threatening to use nuclear weapons. 😉
Oh, and those yellow and blue pompoms are still on sale if anyone is interested. 🤣
Superb answer but from here on in I am offering no opinion and leaving everyone else to express their own. 👍
spending billions to go to mars or the moon is idiotic.
we can't even manage to build a self-contained habitat here on earth.
we continue to be plagued by wars and violence because we worship violent men in our history books and in our movies and in our television shows and in our books and in our personal stories. we worship feudal hierarchy. we embrace dictatorial control in our corporations and even in our families.
de-masculinizing mitigates violence.
being nostalgic for "the good old days" is understandable.
being nostalgic for "the good old days" is idolizing violence.
Superb answer but from here on in I am offering no opinion and leaving everyone else to express their own. 👍
I will have to watch that in the PM, not got 1 hour 36 to spare in the daytime, cheers.
you only need to watch the first ten minutes or so
yes I'm afraid we are all in a lunatic asylum, well only if you want to be. If you never look at the tellybox or listen to the radio fizzle you can believe the world is quite normal. The lunatics are in charge of the asylum tho, that's the problem.
The lunatics have taken over the asylum, name that band.

slave patrols became modern police

Awesome clip Bro! History is such a powerful source of knowledge, when it is accurate of course!
i also like the point in the movie "Soylent Green" where the cop says their only job is to protect the rich from the poor.
I never saw this film but I just watched the trailer. How strange to hear "In the year 2022..." 😊 Your point about police being here to protect the wealthy is spot on and that clip you shared concerning slavery really puts it into the proper context.

They really don't make films like they used to! 😉
I remember a line from Lisa in The Simpsons where she says something along the lines of the police's job is maintaining the status quo for the rich and the elite.

Was this the question ? ,... well if so , the logic answer would be ,..
Divide and conquer . ;-)
Indeed it was brother.
oh now I'm confused which question it was? I thought it was clearly this one -
Question = Am I in a lunatic asylum?
Or are you deliberately trying to confuse the patients?
Maam or tgal, choose any one you want, say anything you want, welcome to freedom corner :-)
Yes, I was also confused about what question was to be addressed? 😊
Confusing yes , for this is a question ,.. To divide and conquer us some more . ;-)
😂 I'm pretending I did not see that qiestion! 🤦♂️
🤣🤣🤣
Yes, only on Blurt we can agree to disagree. And not be downvoted into oblivion. We can have different opinions. I detest Putin above all others. He is the only politician that has threatened to kill everyone with a Nuclear Bomb. You can blame all the current confusion of the Trolls of Olgino. They have infiltrated every single Social media platform including Blurt.
Vlad Rus-Putin, the Troll of Olgino.
Agreed in part, but he is no worse than any of the others, you only have to look at the amount of wars for resources the USA has started and other countries including my own and yours went along for the ride with them.
Putin is 1000 x worse than anyone who ever lived. Except maybe Hitler.
noted
Interesting vid that one.
there´s a little error in your writing my dear friend "He is the only politician that has threatened to kill everyone with a Nuclear Bomb",
first he didn´t have said that he will kill everybody, he said he will activate the next level of allert !
second your neighbors where the first and ones who ever had used nuclear weapons agains civilians, did not remeber Nagasaki and Hiroshima and it wasn´t the Soviets, it was the Nation which aims to heal and save the world !
And now these guys getting hit by their last regime change in the Ukraine, these Guys who where fight from Putin was installed from the US guys, did nobody remember that.
Let the people send the useless politicians to the devil or to their teacher the Americans, oh I overlooked that this is not possible, they also have an army that follows them and not the people.
So everybody is just forced by some manipulative orders, or should I say suggestions.
War is stupid, no matter where and why, the losers are always the wrong guys, and the winners were nominated before the war began ;)
Nice keep it up.
if you haven't receive 3000 BLURT than vote Cotina for witness
Cotina is a well known and great guy so i am vouching for him
Vote for Cotina and get 3000 BLURT

Stick that scam where the sun does not shine. Let me give you a clue, you sit on it.
Who deals with the scam artists on here @rycharde @saboin ????
We both do as well as a few other “wardens”. We just add them to the blacklist and it turns off the vote button for their posts and puts a warning beside their avatars. It also blocks them from other services such as the image uploader.
You can see the list here: https://gitlab.com/blurt/openblurt/coal/-/blob/master/coal.json
Good to know, I had the same message on hive 2 days running but that message is Drakos as the witness and 300 hive.
Drakos is bribing people to vote for his witness? Can you point me to an example of that?
No he is not, it is the same click this link scam, here is my hive post to show it is the same people, but on both sites.
https://hive.blog/pob/@shepz1/shackled-minds-the-slap-will-smith
https://hive.blog/pob/@shepz1/shackled-minds-the-blue-whale-challenge
You may note arcange got involved and both scammers had been hacked accounts, when you click the vote for link it asks for your log in keys, then wave goodbye to your account.
This person does not represent @cotina which is managed by the @symbionts team.
Thanks for clearing that up. You need to tag witnesses/large stakeholders in with that statement brother..
I have posted this message in the Blurt Discord and notified the Cotina team, and the person who's account is being used to attempt this scam has also been reached and she has changed her keys.
Nice one brother.
Bribing people to vote for your witness is bound to have the opposite of the intended effect.
I certainly won’t vote for any such witness, and very few of the large stakeholders will either.
This person does not represent @cotina which is managed by the @symbionts team.
