The Toppling of Society

I saw this on one of the pages I haunt and decided to run a little trial to see how it would come out.

So I tried it on Google. Here is what I got:

How about Yahoo? I got this:

DuckDuckGoGo:

There is no one to hold big tech into account. The Asshats we’ve sent to Washington are there to collect the buckets of cash that flow from these huge firms. This radical new world is not just being ushered in, its being slammed down the throat of our citizenry and the balance of the western world. Me thinks the nation has slipped away and that is an absolute disaster for freedom on this planet.

Who knows, perhaps in another few hundred years another America can be birthed.

Blue Light

Some folk will recognize the term ‘Blue Light’ as the name of Delta before it was Delta. A much smaller group of folk could tell you of what it takes to enter the assessment program. Perhaps 1 in several million Americans know what its like to serve in this unit.

Unlike SEALS, these folk walk quietly on God’s earth. Rarely will we know where they’ve been and what they’ve done. So now Sergeant Major Payne’s deeds have come to light and America is again reminded of what a badassery is, what a hero’s deeds are composed of.

I can’t help but wonder which is the greater honor for SGM Payne, being accepted into Delta or being awarded the MOH? Given Payne’s comments, I believe it to be the former. He said: “I look forward to serving as a guardian of this medal,” Payne said. “I just want to be a man who wears it well.”

Meanwhile, The Good Folk At the UN are Eyeing Your Daughters

There is a reason that Netflix can get away with this shit; It’s being pushed by the global elite !

The U.N. has named an abortionist who advocates for teen prostitution to its top post on health and human rights.

Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng has risen quickly at the U.N., from “sexual health and rights advocate” to the top post of Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health, a role that will give her a global platform to urge the decriminalization of the sex trade.

“Mofokeng’s reports advancing sexual rights, including the legalizing of prostitution, will likely be cited as authoritative interpretations of human rights law by U.N. agencies and like-minded Member States,” C-Fam observed.

Exceedingly Pleased

I cannot get over how very happy this asshat is that his state is on fire, folk have been burned alive, and all that many have worked for has gone up in smoke. He’s happy because he’s made the national news again and can proclaim the ‘climate crisis’ is real and it’s here.

Have you ever seen a happier man?

He’s so ecstatic that he looks about to nut. Meanwhile, the National Interagency Fire Center reported that 97 fires have burned 4.7 million acres across the west. “More than 29,000 firefighters and support personnel are assigned to wildfires. Evacuation orders are in place for 40 large fires in California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Idaho, and Utah,” the agency reported.

Perhaps he should give pause and look beyond his own smoke and mirrors as Breitbart is reporting that at least four of the fires are the result of malcontents and matchbooks–four folk; two in Washington, one in Oregon, and another in California — have been arrested for arson as firefighters battle dozens of blazes across the West Coast. One of the arrestees is reportedly a “regular attendee” of anti-police rallies in Seattle.

Another Evil In Our World

Campbell County Sheriff’s Deputies Joshua Jeffers and Brandon Gross went to the residence on the evening of Aug. 30 where the homeowner told them a female, who was later identified as Cynthia Lynn Teeple, was standing in the backyard and had taken her shirt off. The deputies went to the back of the home to a fenced area where she was standing with two miniature horses. Teeple was wearing a blue jean shorts, no shoes, and a bra, according to a report from the sheriff’s office. When asked where her shirt was, she looked down and did not know her shirt was missing. Gross found her shirt about 30 feet from her.

That meth must be some powerful shit. My sympathy to anyone who has a family member inflicted with this disease.

This Self Identifying Shit Has Gone Too Far

Here are a couple of photo’s of 29 year old Lourielle Aviles. He’s a she. He ain’t even trying to be she but she she be.

According to Justice Department court documents, Laurielle Yvette Aviles, of Portland, assaulted a police officer in an attempt to de-arrest a fellow rioter on July 3. She was charged at the time by Portland Police and was released on her own recognizance. The Multnomah County District Attorney’s office announced this week that Aviles is charged with one count of felony riot, one count of attempted assault of a public safety officer, one count of resisting arrest and one count of interfering with a peace officer. Following an FBI investigation, she now also has a felony civil disorder charge.  

The he/she shit has gotten well out of hand. Don’t know how folk over on the left coast are able to keep up with the rules.

A Little Time on the Water

Now that the weather has begun to moderate (moderately moderate) I thought that I’d get my fishing tackle and poles straightened up and make the final repair to my trailer. I did find a photo (of sorts) of my boat/trailer after the fall.

Today I replaced the roller that’s shown in the yellow circle below. The portion of the trailer that the spare tire is mounted on was twisted and while this forces the spare to ride a little to the left (in the photo) it has no effect on handling or aesthetics so I’m finished with all the repairs.

I put in near Athens Al. at the Elk River Mills boat launch. While there I ran into the guy in the photo below. He’s a tournament fisherman in a league that competes from kayaks. I had no idea that was a sport. According to him, there are actually three different leagues and he competes in all three.

This thing has a strong electric motor on it and extensive electronics. Here is a little closer view.

I ran my boat up the Elk River to what I guess was nearly the Tennessee line. When the water started getting ‘thin’ I saw this house on the east side of the river.

There is a lot going on with this place. That’s a pretty unique platform that the house is built on, made of huge concrete blocks and stacked 10 feet or so high. I suppose that’s their way of keeping the river out of the house should the Elk ever flood, but between the bank of 6-8 feet and the block, they’ll escape everything but the second coming. City folk might find the water collection system a little odd and they may think it strange that the house has been circumscribed with a electric wire-mesh fence. Both of these are common when you get away from pavement and light poles and live your life on the edge of civilization.

I will say that this first time I’ve ever seen a gate on the water side of a boat launch, but they obviously have their reasons.

Here is a view (below) of the electric mesh fence. My guess is that it is solar operated as I could see no power going to the place. Looking at other photos I’ve taken, I can see no exterior lighting. These folks apparently have no power or have a generator for emergency interior lighting.

Living this far out it’s a good idea to have an electric mesh fence as all kinds of critters will want to either live with you or eat you. If you’ve ever had a raccoon as a roommate you know just how hard they are to vacate. Same with skunks, possum, squirrels, etc. When you get on in years feral dogs, hogs, and coyote begin sizing you up. All good reasons for fencing.

Biden Cabinet Announcement

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has selected Cardi B to be his Health and Human Services Secretary.

“We need to restore honor and decency to the White House,” Biden said reading from a teleprompter. “That is why I’m appointing Cardi B, who is black enough for me, to be my HHS Secretary.”

The PSA by Cardi B instructed women to “brush they teeth before you s**k d**k”:

Epiphany in the Series

No newly discovered writing from the early Christian era has generated more controversy and prompted more (or renewed) examination by scholars, philosophers, churches leaders and laymen than the Gospel of Thomas. As a guess, a good many folk who have given up on formal religious creeds have eagerly approached the work in the hope that a new promise in the Christian tradition would be found.

Most have come away without becoming appreciably enlightened. Not that they lacked in determination or faith, but rather the work seems to be a paradox: extremely esoteric while at the same time saying (or leading to) nothing. More than a few scholars have stated that they believe that the organization of the volume has been intentionally scrambled and that the sayings are deliberately puzzling. A great many believe that this intentional obscuring is designed to introduce mystery where none would otherwise exist. I disagree.

Lets take a look at three adjacent sayings 6,7,8. They are apparently completely discontinuous. Or are they? This is going to get tricky, so see if you can follow along (or perhaps more properly stated, lets see if I can explain my thoughts).

One of my favorite sayings in the Gospel of Thomas is Saying 7. The reason I like it is because it should be easily understood, yet is not. It seems that this gospel provides no shortcut to understanding either man or God. Which is not to say that the sayings are not (to coin an oft used phrase) pregnant with meaning. Whether I can express that meaning remains to be seen.

Here is Saying 7

Blessed is the lion which the man eats, and the lion will become man;
and cursed is the man whom the lion eats, and the lion will become man.

Now, here is 6

His disciples asked him (and) said to him: Do you want us to fast? And how shall we pray (and) give alms? What diet should we observe? Jesus said: Do not lie, and what you abhor, do not do; for all things are manifest in the sight of heaven; for there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, and there is nothing covered which will remain without being uncovered.

But, as you may recall from one of my earlier posts, I believe that the second half of Saying 6 is ‘polluted’. The original second half of Saying 6 is found in Saying 14. It reads:

If you fast, you will put a sin to your charge; and if you pray, you will be condemned; and if you give alms, you will do harm to your inner spirits. And if you go into any land and walk about in the regions, if they receive you, eat what is set before you; heal the sick among them. For what goes into your mouth will not defile you; but what comes out of your mouth, that is what will defile you.

We will leave the second half of 6 alone for right now, you can add it back to 6 once we understand what 6 means and how 7 and 8 relate to 6.

Here is Saying 8:

And he said: Man is like a wise fisherman who cast his net into the sea; he drew it up from the sea full of small fish; among them he found a large good fish, the wise fisherman; he threw all the small fish into the sea, he chose the large fish without difficulty. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

Here is a link to what all of the smart folk think about Saying 6. The other sayings can be accessed from the navigation section (upper right) of the linked page.

Now here is what I believe is being said (in part). In the first half of 6 the only possible reason that the apostles could have for asking about diet, alms, and fasting is because they have either been told or have come to believe that the old ways (Jewish beliefs and rituals) have passed away. The old law has been laid aside. If for them that was not the case, then why the question?

Now for 7: The lion represents the old laws and the old leaders. The old beliefs and systems have served mankind well, but now, with a foundation laid, they support the future, not define it.

Finally, 8: The saying can be read several ways, each of which reinforces its position in the three saying sequence as it reinforces the relationship between the kingdom of heaven and mankind. Click on the link above and navigate to Saying 8 and read the expert commentary on this saying. Most experts agree that this saying appears in other works. When it does, it does not begin ” Man is like a wise fisherman”, rather it begins: “The Kingdom of God is like a wise fisherman”. Let us note that in that day and age that this was written no one is referencing the Kingdom of God except the followers of Christ and no one is looking for a path to heaven except those that have been exposed to him. I’ll also note that the “Man is like…” and the “Kingdom of God is like….” is a difference without a distinction to those that take to heart Saying 3 (But the kingdom is within you, and it is outside of you).

Well, all of this has sort of pushed out some ‘meaning’ of what is in the sayings. That’s OK given the poor odds that three in sequence obscure sayings in a text intentionally scrambled actually produced a coherent message. Here is what I’ve learned

  1. Moving the last half of saying 6 to 14 alerted us to the need to explore the text more closely/thoroughly.
  2. Understanding Saying 8 required understanding Saying 3 and the line in Saying 3 is pretty much an empty statement without Saying 8 as an exemplar.
  3. Saying 6 was not idle chatter about the mundane but rather an exclamation about the new world and new way. It shouts.
  4. Sayings 6,7,8 definitely belong together
  5. Sayings 3,4,5 prepare us for 6,7,8
  6. Saying 9 tells us to go back to and do some more work if none of this makes sense thus far.

Finally, let me suggest two important ideas. The first is that none of meaning of the Gospel of Thomas is lost because of the several different ways the text can be translated. The second is that I don’t believe that the Gospel of Thomas needed to be understood in order for man to find a path to the Kingdom of Heaven; if it had been required it would mean that no one has made that journey in the last 2000 years.

All Along The Fence Line

Well, as the old saying goes: There is a time and a place for all things. The time for the place indicated by the yellow arrow above was a month ago. A month ago the foliage along the fence line could have easily been tamed with the weed-eater and I would not have to have fought woody brush every square foot for the roughly 850 feet. The problem was the weather was so damn hot/humid a month ago that it became easy for me to procrastinate.

By way of orientation, the entry to the property is via the upper road, follow it for half a mile or so and the cabin appears. The road right below the arrow bounds a part of the front pasture. The horizontal distance between the fence line (circled in the photo below) and the road is about 10 foot or so.

Weed-eating 850 feet is not all that difficult. It’s a bitch when the foliage has grown so much that it has become ‘woody’, and a really crusty old bitch when it sits on an embankment that slopes 8 feet or so vertically over 4 horizontal feet. In the photo above I’ve cut the 850 foot embankment and now need to get to the top and the 2-4 foot flat area around the fence.

That part is done! Now I need to get the bolt cutters and cut down all of the woody plants that the trimmer wouldn’t.

These photos were taken just below where the yellow arrow is in the Google Earth capture. The last one shows just how ‘woody’ the area had become.

What A Global Society Buys You

Australians have been shocked to find that they have no right to free speech shortly after giving up their guns.

On 16 June 2017, the Minister for Justice Michael Keenan announced that a national firearms amnesty would commence on 1 July 2017 for three months until 30 September, to hand in unregistered or unwanted firearms. Australians complied and handed over hundreds of thousands of firearms to the government.

Now Australians, especially in the province of Victoria, are shocked to find that they are being arrested for Facebook posts.

There is a reason that fascists are pushing for a global society. Imagine the power that can be wielded once all of those pesky human rights are removed.

Today Australia, tomorrow the world

Raising The Temperature | Time to Pull The Trigger?

Some several months ago I wrote about the quandary some preppers might find themselves in: when/if to pull the trigger. I wrote:

So how do you know when/if the SHTF moment is here and it’s time to start doing lion shit? This question is not rhetorical. Let me frame the same question a little differently: Does the corona virus have the potential to cause irrational responses in our communities and can those responses be disastrous enough to crash the economy/society. Can COVID-19 usher in a world wide collapse?

The rest of that drivel is here.

Right now I’m of the opinion that ‘The Great Unraveling’ will be more like the proverbial frog in a comfortably warm pot than the flash/bang of a singular event. But in all of the scenarios that run through my mind, none of them result in a world that is as equally (or more) free than the one we are in now. An that my friends, sucks.

So when I see a page like the one above from SHTFplan, I’m of two minds: (1) somewhat concerned about sensationalism used by these folks as they honestly attempt to educate others on how to survive the impending disaster. And (2) whether some folk were attempting to leverage the fear others feel in these trying times to make a few bucks.

Looks like #2 won out.

I entered my email, weaved my way pasted their captcha quiz and was presented this:

Then this:

And finally this:

I’ll let y’all make your own determination on what is going on here. For my part I’d question anyone that shows our billionaire President in a 50 cent face mask.

When Dat Fire Get On Your Ass

There was a time in this country when a comedian was free to express their art in anyway they chose. We were free to watch, or not. No one forced us to watch or to participate in an uprising for or against the either the message or the medium. Richard Pryor was one of the many great comedians that could shamelessly get us to laugh at our plight regardless of the race or creed of the subject or sensitivity of the topic targeted.

So then, it occurs to me that if we could apply a lesson learned by Richard to the riots du jour, we may have found a solution to one of society’s ills. If your short on time, skip forward to the 40 second mark,

Now, imagine if each of those that wished violence on our cities were to suddenly come to the realization the Richard came to. Well, as a guess, there would be a lot less children running wild in our streets!

When that fire hit your ass, it will sober your ass up quick! I saw something, I went, “Well, that’s a pretty blue. You know what? That looks like… FIRE! Fire is inspirational. They should use it in the Olympics, because I ran the 100 in 4.3.
–Richard Prior
