The labels of democrat and republican have become the front for an opposition between good and evil. We have to become masters of discernment. We really do. This is about humanity, free thought, and independent thinking. The right to free speech in this country guarantees us the opportunity to speak our minds and share our opinions. Everyone has the right to do so.
Think in terms of equality and what’s fair. You can’t shut down someone who thinks differently. Not everyone is bad, and not everything is fucked up, and conversely, not everyone is good, and not everything is amazingly wonderful. There’s a middle road here.
And don’t blame everything on the government either. We are a nation of citizens.
Art is an outlet. It’s a creative expression unique to the individual.
Here on the North American Continent, also know as the United Sates of America, the Mississippi River runs through ten states; Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
Back in 1927, the most destructive river flood in U.S. history was registered as the Mississippi overflowed largely because of heavy rainfall in 1926. They say 27,000 square miles of land was under 30 feet of water for months causing the displacement of almost 700,000 people.
Two years later, in 1929, steel and automobile production, two large portions of the American economy at the time, were in decline. European investors grew increasingly uneasy about investing in the U.S. economy and pulled out. That propelled a wave of fear that couldn’t be settled, by October, 16 million shares were sold off; Wall Street crashed, and the Great Depression followed. The Great Depression lasted from 1929 to 1941, and no depression has lasted as long or has touch nearly the amount of lives.
How did we rebound? Well, Franklin D. Roosevelt had to come out and tell the truth about state of the economy and the country in general, but weather or not we rebounded is up for debate.
After Roosevelt’s inaugural address on March 4, 1933, and his promise of a “new deal,” a plethora of federal agencies came into existence.
Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)
Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA)
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) -to police Wall Street activity
Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA)
National Recovery Administration (NRA)
Committee for Industrial Organization (CIO)
🤣Woah! Yeah, I mean it’s not a secret Roosevelt increased the federal government tenfold, and expected them to carry the country out of the depression, but the steel industry and the private sector in general was back in business because of WWII.
Flood, Great Depression, and then WWII began in December of 1941. The war ended in 1945, which was the same year FDR died, but I think many question his decisions regarding the sizable increase of the federal government because the federal government’s role was supposed to be limited with little intrusion in the lives of citizens, but..
at least he came out and told the truth. And I think citizens at that time weren’t really thinking about how the fed’s involvement could effect the future, or what kind of precedence it would set for future emergencies. Today, we almost expect federal intervention during times of emergencies.
But like I said, I think at that time people were in a real desperate situation, and the government came offering with their hand out.
Coming full circle forces us to look at the root of issues so we can identify the cause. What tipped the first domino?
If I didn’t go to the party last night I wouldn’t have overslept, and if I didn’t oversleep, I wouldn’t have missed the bus.
If I didn’t miss the bus, I wouldn’t have been late for work, and If I wasn’t late for work, I wouldn’t have been written up.
If I didn’t get the write-up then I wouldn’t have had a reason to argue with my boss. And if I didn’t argue with my boss then I wouldn’t have been sent home early from work.
If I didn’t leave work early then wouldn’t have had to wait 45-minutes for the bus that missed this morning.
It interesting when you think about this because most people who work full-time are in a routine for at least five days out of the week, but one change-one single minor change, could tip off a string of events that disrupts the entire pattern. You never go out at night when you have work the next day, but you did last night.
As we chronicle in this issue, there’s a lot wrong with the state of the journalism job market. It still favors white, privileged, highly educated people at precisely the moment it needs to be more inclusive, given the changing demographics of the country.
Kyle Pope
I love that I’m so drawn to articles like this, because here I am, just about 20 years out of college, holding a Bachelor of Arts, the author of two books, and I can’t even get an entry level job into field of journalism.
I clicked on the link for this article because I thought it was going to provide a little insight, instead, I get hit with the “white privilege” thing.
So, I’d really like to know where people like Kyle get their information when they make these outrageous claims. No one’s knocking my door down with a job offer.
And I say this respectfully..
I think, Kyle, belongs to a group of people in this country right now today, who are desperate for passion and emotion in their writing, but also in their lives in general, and because they don’t have it within, they make these inaccurate claims, to ride the wave of emotion generated through the reactions of people it effects.
If you know where educated white people are being favored for employment in journalism, can you point me to that direction?
The place I work for finally woke up and made it optional for wearing masks, and I must say, the entire building had a completely different feel to it. Over the last two years, a countless amount of articles have been published dealing with the psychological complications of wearing masks all day, and they were either ignored, or agreed with and then ignored.
But please, let me share this with you. People were definitely happier and in a much better mood without it, and there was an overall sense of closeness. Of course, for a little while you had do a double check to make sure the person you were talking to was the one wearing the mask all this time, but there was so much to laugh about and see afterwards.
It seems like a small area when you consider how much the mask actually covered, but just seeing someone eyes created this unexplainable distance, and frankly, disregard. The mask was, and some people might not agree with this, but dehumanizing. The removal of the mask restored the care and sensitivity needed to bring a distant workforce together.
No more hiding, no more making faces at people, and no more mumbling under your breadth. We can see one another now, and this is the way it always should’ve been.
The mask was unsanitary, dirty, kept us breathing in our own exhalents (poisonous), and in the end, it didn’t even prevent us from getting sick. But we all new it wouldn’t, some people just needed the comfort.
In the beginning, the mask was suggested as a way to stop the spread of the virus if you were sick. It even came out in the Dr. Anthony Fauci emails thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, that no mask could prevent us from getting sick, but that was another thing some people chose to ignore.
Healthy people weren’t supposed to wearing masks all day, and I mentioned the reason why that happened. Once people realized and saw how hard the pushback was against wearing the mask, they forced it just for the laughter and short term pleasure it provided.
Yes, people actually rode that wave of satisfaction that came from forcing someone to do something they didn’t want to do. Terrible. And there really was no government responsible. We did it to ourselves. We forced each other. We allowed the pandemic to cause division amongst us, and the really scummy people used it for a serious overreach into other people’s lives and privacy. Terrible.
I don’t know if that can ever be repaired. Because really, the issue is twofold;
It’s unsettling to know that at least half of the people in this country will roll over and do as they’re told without investigating and looking for the truth, but it’s even more unsettling that those people out of fear, will burn up and force the people around them to follow.
Putting your head down and going to work is how we got into this mess, and to make it even worse you have the nerve to talk shit and mock the people who take time out of their busy schedules to protest. You call them rebellious and ignorant. Terrible. Shame on you coward.
Take a look at the feature image of the hourglass. Notice, as the sand slips through the x-point, it piles up on the lower level. On the lower level, as it piles, it forms the shape of a pyramid. There are three Egyptian Pyramids, roughly covered in sand, and one bigger than the last. I believe the pyramids represent time in a unique way.
Pyramids of Time
Now, take a look at my drawing of the Egyptian Pyramids, and notice the numbers around each them. According to numerology, 11, 22, and 33 are Master numbers.
Taking this a step further, there are some critics of time who say we live the past, the present, and future all at once; the past is what we just did a second ago, the future we haven’t gotten to yet or it’s what’s to come, and the now is the current moment.
I look at it this way, once you turn two you enter into the pyramids of time. Initially, you begin at the age of two, you start out on the smallest pyramid as you can see, but once you get to age six, you occupy the first step on all three pyramids, living the past, present and future all at once.
The first major milestone you reach is at age 11. There should be a natural gain in knowledge, understanding, reason, and sense. You’ll feel it, you should actually feel more intelligent.
When you reach the second milestone at age 22, you are free from pyramidal structure and restrictions that come with being a human between the ages of two and twenty, however, you’re still connected to the future pyramid and the third milestone.
When you reach the age of twenty-two, there should be a natural gain of skill, ability and direction.
Take notice at what happens when you reach your third milestone at age 33. You are still living a good portion of your life on the second pyramid.
It’s not like the arrival to your second milestone, because when you reached age twenty-two, the first pyramid was over and done with.
33 is the most spiritually inclined number as it’s made up of 11 and 22. It’s love, understanding, and giving at their highest levels. Right after your 22nd birthday, the energy begins to build towards to 33. You will have your Saturn return at age 29, which can be extremely beneficial depending on the personal work you put in.
And then once you reach 33, you’ll remain at the top of third pyramid until all the sand slips through the hourglass, and the second pyramid reaches completion as you turn 40.
Once you reach 40, you’re in you’re power, still standing at the top having learned all the lessons and tied up all the loose ends. You’re decent begins when you reach the age of 42.
When you reach 42, you are fully in the last pyramid of time, and that’s right about the time of your Uranus opposition to itself. Every move you make from this point forward has to be calculated, and there must be something gained for your time, because as you can see, there’s no more to waste.
The climbing ends at age 60, with all level roads ahead.
The drawing of these pyramids is symbolic of many things. It shows how we live in the moment, with full control over the past, present, and future. It shows the overlapping of time and how we build towards our futures when we don’t even think we’re close to doing so. It runs perfectly with two major astrological transits we all go through.
Each Pyramid contains a 9-year period between steps. This is sacred in design.
Look it over and study it. I’m sure you’ll draw your own conclusions.
The purpose of this post is to help the people get to middle ground who want to be there; the people who want to experience the middle for what it truly is. Not someone else’s belief or vision of what it should be.
To all my fans, friends, and followers;
I wanted to share with you, even though most of you might know this already, is that politically speaking, there’s a spectrum-a horizontal spectrum.
The far left is extreme- that’s total government control. The far right is extreme-that’s absolutely no government, no police, and anarchy.
The middle ground is where you want to be. That’s balance, that’s happiness, that’s change, and being in the middle represents your ability to change.
NOW LISTEN UP!
We live in a world of extremes, people, a lot of people have slid either extreme right or extreme left. You might be one of these people.
What’s making people go to extremes is their resistance to change. Some people have personal beliefs that are so strong, they’re will to go to the extreme to hold onto it.
Don’t be that person.
Our world is constantly changing and evolving. From nature’s standpoint, its change that’s beyond our control. Don’t fight it, and don’t go to war over it. Of course, you can if you want though. I’m not telling you what to do, and I never will.
Are you still with me?
Okay, good!
If not, good luck to you. Please don’t harm anyone in your extreme endeavors.
Political Spectrum
The middle is a real place, and I’m not going to lie, it’s hard as hell to get there. It’s so hard in fact, some people think it’s an unattainable utopia or an unattainable state of mind or disposition, but it’s not.
The middle is a real place. It’s a place all by itself, already made and waiting for you to arrive. The middle is what it already is.
Nobody wants to be miserable or filled with hate. Believe me, the people who are truly extreme, want to be in the middle, but they can’t, and they know that.
So what they’ll do is try to convince you to believe in what they believe in. If the whole world believed in total government control, then there wouldn’t be a problem and the far left would be the middle. If the whole world believed in anarchy, then there wouldn’t be a problem and the far right would be in the middle.
The problems extreme positions have is that humanity is made up of individuals who are unique and special in their own ways. Everyone wants something different.
No one wants to be forced into doing something they don’t want to do, and that’s why it’s so hard to get into the middle. It’s that force, and that push (not physical) that makes people cling to what they believe and the sliding begins.
This is where America comes into picture. We don’t live under a communist regime. Communism doesn’t work. Communism and fascism are things of the past, we defeated both in World War II. We don’t live under a dictatorship. Dictators are masters at manipulating crowds (Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin). We defeated that too. That’s all left. That’s all force, strong-arming, and making people do things they don’t want to do through intimidation.
America is a constitutional republic. We’re a nation of laws, therefore, we as a people cannot be extreme right either.
If out of your own fear, you feel the need to force the people around you to do what you’re doing, then you’re in the wrong place. That’s why you’re scared. You’re scared because you believe in the past and what we already defeated. Leave, and go somewhere where you can be a servant to your king. At least you wont be scared. You’ll get that comfort you seek.
But I digress…sorry.
The keys to getting to the middle:
Pursue what you feel is right for you.
2. Stay humble.
3. Control your emotions.
4. Think before you act, but act swiftly when the time is right for you.
5. Speak your truth, communicate your needs.
6. Know and accept that not everyone is capable of seeing the bigger picture.
7. Move forward-constantly.
I’m going to end this post with this: There is no image you have to achieve, and there are no right and wrong answers. This is about destiny. Along the way, help the people who seek your help-let the rest go.
The path you chose will not become evident or visible to you until it’s too late to make the changes you should’ve made, so pay attention along the way.
David Hatcher Childress was a guest on Coast to Coast AM a year ago. The title of the show was Did the Egyptians Visit the Grand Canyon 1000s of Years Ago? He said in the 1970s, the Brazilian Navy found an ancient Roman shipwreck off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.
When the Brazilian Navy went down to investigate, they found several Roman boats, and Roman coins. Later on, there was an issue because the Italian community began asking questions. They said history showed Romans discovered Brazil and should therefore be granted citizenship.
The Brazilian Navy was then ordered to bury the wreck.
We already talked about how this generation of middle school and high school’ers are missing out on the Block Buster Video experience. Ever since we started streaming and purchasing movies online, the need for brick and mortar video stores just wasn’t there any more, but it isn’t until you no longer have something that you truly understand what it meant to you.
Today’s teens are missing out on so much fun. Purchasing movies online will never replace the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings spent roaming the video store holding hands with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Those are real memories only made possible by the in-person shopping experience.
Well, here’s another one. How about CD players in cars? Remember that? Remember when you used to drive over to the music store to pick up that new CD just released by your favorite artist? You couldn’t wait to play it in your car. And if it was the summer, forget about it. You’d be driving around with the windows down all day and night blasting it. LoL 🤣
How do you even by music anymore?
Aren’t you just sick of hearing, “everything is online.”
I wish they’d bring back the CD player option in vehicles, and as far as movies go, well, all someone has to do is open a video store, and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about. It’s nice to have the option of purchasing movies in your home without leaving, especially if it’s raining or snowing, but there’s nothing like the whole video store experience.
I bought The Enemy by Lee Child around 2011. The book was awesome, and I was shocked because it was one of those books on the shelf in the food store that you throw in the cart while shopping.
The book was awesome, and Jack Reacher was a bad ass. I thought the character was well developed, and I had this image in my head of what Jack Reacher looked like while reading it.
Around a year later, the movie came out. It was called Jack Reacher, and I was like oh boy I gotta see this.
And then…..
I saw Tom Cruise was playing Jack Reacher. LOL. Nothing against Tom Cruise, nothing at all. He’s been consistent throughout his career and starred in some of the most memorable and beloved movies of all time (Outsiders, A Few Good Men etc.). What about Live Die Repeat? Amazing.
Anyway, I had someone different pictured in my mind for the Jack Reacher part-that’s all. I didn’t know who, but Tom Cruise wasn’t it.
And then…..
I Just saw today, Reacher, the show on Amazon.
Alan Ritchson, that’s all I have to say. He can play Jack Reacher. I don’t know how many of you saw Blood Drive, but Alan Ritchson is a badass.
