Thinking Back
I guess it might be in the nature of mankind to look back after certain events to try and find a “cause”; something that if changed, would have prevented or allowed certain events that did or did not happen.
Going back to kill Hitler early in his life is a common example.
So now in the apparent collapse of the US, we tend to look at some turning point: 9/11, Obama. Reagan, Kennedy’s assassination …
Has anyone ever thought that looking back, it was perhaps the admission of Alaska and Hawaii as states that led to the situation in which we now find ourselves?
I have a poem for that, too! 🙂
Louisiana Purchase 1803.
The ink was barely dry on the paper and the shenanigans had already begun.

I hired a dood to do a task for me one time. I was too busy to do it myself. It was an errand really, and I paid him $1000 in advance to do it.
He made a decision regarding this task, and it caused him to fail.
His failure was mine, and it cost me $8000.
I’ve lost before, and since.
But not to that degree.
It wasn’t just the $8k, there were other things entwined, the cost of which is inestimable.
I went fishing for 3 days, just me and my thoughts.
I didn’t catch any fish but I did make a decision.
I learned that I do not delegate well.
But I perform to perfection.
Every. Dam. Time.
So I laid off my employees, leased my office to an associate, got rid of a lot of business stuff, and built a small office on our house. I downsized to a soldier of one. Never again would I delegate because to me, no one is as trustworthy as me. Why should I settle for less than what I can do myself?
I never bought in to the notion that a gov’t or politicians will represent me. I have never voted. I can’t do that which I do not believe in. No politician has ever performed in a satisfactory manner. Ever.
I do not believe in the declaration, the constitution, nor any gov’t papers. They have no jurisdiction over me nor do I recognize them or their representatives. I am an outlaw.
“I went fishing for 3 days, just me and my thoughts.
I didn’t catch any fish but I did make a decision.”
I didn’t know anyone went fishing to catch fish …
mostly only if they’re hungry.
Channeling Emerson, DT?
“Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sitting out on the porch with my wife the other evening, the first time in a few months, I had forgotten about one of our porch pastimes. So I ran back into my office and grabbed my phone.
I have the Merlin app on my phone and it identifies birds by the sounds they make. Yes, the phone hears the birds and a picture of the bird and some nomenclature appears. It doesn’t always get it exactly right but most of the time it does.
Try it and see for yourself!
The Merlin app is wonderful. Left it on on my patio table one day late last spring. Nineteen birds recorded in 10 minutes, most of them out of sight. I was stunned and delighted. That hasnt happened since. I guess it was my lucky day.
1913 was the turning point in American history. We became servants of the international banking cartel. As most know, the only thing federal in the name federal reserve is the word federal. It is a private bank. It controls our economy. Kennedy is extremely interesting, especially in light of all that has been divulged by certain participants. They scared the living daylights out of President Reagan with the assassination attempt and they took their best shot at Trump.
I went to aim4truth. Powerful exposure. Where did the post go?
It wasn’t all the hippies who wreaked havoc on this nation. It was the children of wealthy parents who were the first real “socialists–now communists”. I go to a R luncheon on Fridays. There are eight people at our table–all with college degrees. Four were middle or lower middle class hippies. Two were the children of wealth–also hippies. Guess who still runs the R party in my town? The first hippies on the west coast were children of wealth. The first bomb throwers were children of wealth many from Chicago, New York, and let’s not forget San Francisco, etc.
I remember waiting in the Oakland airport for a flight to arrive. When it did it off loaded at least a hundred young men returning home from Viet Nam–1970. The people spitting on those young men were mostly women from Berkeley. Those young warriors started ripping off their jackets so they were only wearing white T shirts–trying to protect themselves from the hate. It seems being opposed to the war in Viet Nam was different if you were on the west coast, or the east, or somewhere in fly over country. California was already the most liberal. New York was liberal, but not yet as liberated. I never could find if the Chicago teamsters were demonstrating. The D convention of 1968 I would say is the beginning of what we have here today.
Take care–you are loved!
