NOT NORMAL!

  Sorry folks, it's been a crazy morning. Really tough session at PT today. And when I came home, I could not wrap my head around writing the blog at that moment. So here I am now, late afternoon and I am first getting started on it. Hopefully, it will post either late today or tomorrow morning.       

The morning has also been weird because so many things came at me from various people who've been writing. From various events that have occurred this morning, I just wondered what the hell is going on in this world? Nothing is normal. It's just not normal. That feeling of not being normal is to be found in many, many people these days. One woman analyzing the war with Iran over the Straits, going this way and that, calling it a whiplash war. She states: "The level of volatility and how public the whiplash back and forth has been. That's not normal". She further pointed out that as he has done throughout his whole life, done nothing for principle, done nothing because it is right except for his wallet, she states again. "Getting a deal rather than making peace." This is a man that this nation elected as president for two terms. Evidently not learning enough from the first term to keep him out of ,a second term. Going so far as to attempt an overthrow of this nation to continue his first term without a break.  

It is both interesting and very sad to observe how this nation has changed under his administration. We have, so many, too many of us, sold our souls, even giving them away. In the name of the procurement of a bid, a favor, a meal at the White House, favors and deals are happening with finger laid against the side of one's nose. One cannot even stand fully erect in Washington, DC.  lest one get hit by a wrecking ball. Or the debris of yet another of our national heritage places being destroyed. All done with no bid contracts. All the better to bilk this nation out of more.  

This new physical ugliness and its deteriorating sites are the outward revelations of the inward debris accumulating within our souls. We have taken up those no bid contracts and delivered our worst. But that seems to be OK as long as the contractor and Trump or one of his besties benefits.  Accumulation of money is the name of the game. It is commandment number one in the new Ten Commandments.  It is quite interesting as well when terms of religion are used in presenting these misdeeds before the nation. 

It is with great chutzpah that Trump pushed through a law saying that he who inhabits the Oval Office is immune from any prosecution for any misdeeds done. Free pass to commit felonies. To accumulate dirty money. To be a sexual pervert. To take this nation down the road of wrack and ruin. All with the same penalty. Either nothing or pat on the back. from another felonious person. Good life, if you can get it!  

Apparently, there are other areas of free play and rampant moral turpitude. The rather gross adoption of a false religious zeal as a cover for the incredible violation of the tenets of religion. To be honest. To be fair. To behave responsibly. Not to be a sexual pervert. To extend the hand to those in need, to the strangers among us. Yes, all these and more are spouted as justification for moral and civil transgressions which dictate a harmonious life, a welcome to the stranger among us and clemency and understanding.

These precepts of acceptable behavior, be one religious or not, are flagrantly violated. Even if legal laws of the land, it makes no difference.  Hate instead of lending a hand and a warm welcome. Dishonesty and greed the name of the game and neither civil nor moral laws will stand it the way of personal ill-gotten gains. Revenge? Why not? Sexual perversions? That's a go. A modern-day Midas with gluttony only for the gold. So much so. that he is willing to lose family and friends in the name of the chase for it.

 Where does the world stand now in the case of war? One day it is not a war and the other day, it is a raging one. With threats being bandied about. A war in which the apparent troublemaker is blessed   with control over the Strait, a new opportunity for them, along with the permission to charge a passage fee. A clear case of the Barbary Pirates, only this time we enabled them rather than defeated them. Good going there, Trump! 

We are now reaching a point of capitulation to the soulless people who walk among us. Actually, have taken positions of guidance and direction for us. Not a good turn for us, that's for sure. The politicians are now engaged in guiding only their hands to their wallets. There is no more any cross the aisle negotiations for the betterment of the people of America. No, now what we have is a group of people who cannot think for themselves. Vote strictly along party lines. As expected, the outcome is manifestly, totally, egregiously evil. 

It is a world that has forgotten its past. The truth of its history before being rewritten. The powerful currents in the world based upon past history and its interpretation have been twisted beyond any and all ingredient of truth. October 7, 2023, has been twisted and perverted into a claim against the nation that was invaded. Women, children, babies, elderly. Dancers. Singers. Soldiers. Policemen. All slaughtered. Fodder for terrorist groups who take the bodies of those slain and build upon them.  Convince the world that it is those bodies that committed the crimes. Those bodies that are war criminals. Are the perpetrators of this horror. 

The world falls in place. Antisemitism now     ramped up into a mindless JewHatred. A magnet for the evil, the soulless, the enthusiastic purveyors of violence, the liberation to do so with full permission, even approval. New recruits. Enthusiastic leaders. An Awful hate as a pathway to success.  Intense bullying of those who attempt to talk with them, to reason with them, to show them how wrong they are - all in vain.  So all-encompassing is this Evil, that it matters not who oppose them, be it family, friend, or stranger. The anti - Semitic words that are suffusing the world, have a seemingly endless flow capable of wrapping itself round the world multiple times. 

We have relied on false gods. We made Trump into a god because he said he would stand with Israel. But he did not do it for any principle. No, he did it because he saw the advantage for him. Even worse, is that both political parties have trashed their honor in the name of politics and remaining in office. No matter what it costs them all. 

As far as I am concerned, they are way down that slippery slope. With no working brakes nor do they care to find them. Both sides of the aisle are corrupt. Both have adherents who wage war against those they perceive as inimical to the rise and maintenance of power, to remain in their hot, greedy little hands. Both parties and all who call themselves members of those parties lost themselves. Are wandering around in the fog which they have created. Their moral spines are gone, and they are lost in so many ways. The sad thing is they are causing too many others to lose their way as well.     

 We are losing all the battles and wars, those without and those within.

Thus it has been in all the yesterdays and todays.   What will be the fate of the tomorrows to come.

  Ours to decide. Ours to live.

What shall we choose?
