For some people that have followed my blog in the past year (wow it's been a year of having this blog!) this is just going to go over some familiar ground.
Prophecy I wrote how, a year ago we started the Jewish Shemitah year of 5776. This Shemitah year is to end in 5776. While September of last year was looked at, by a lot of people, as a convergence. To some it was a convergence of coincidences that seemed to point to some sort of Universal Order that was trying to get a message to us. Others said it was the convergence of time lines that were about to separate. One thing the Shemitah years seem to involve is war. I want to point out that this current Jewish year has been nothing less than remarkable. We have had three presidential cannidates that depending on your perspective might be the end of the United States as we know it. In fact, I think no matter who gets elected our country will never be the same. With the draft being talked about in the Senate this week and with the rumors of a looming war with Russia it is very possible we will find ourselves mired in a war. I pray and hope to do everything in my power to prevent that from happening. Also, with the powder keg of the Federal Reserve hiking interest rates (at last) and ObamaCare kicking into raise insurance premiums 30-50% some people might think war is the only way to salvage our economy. An Atmosphere of Fear The overwhelming feeling among the people in the United States this week is fear and anger. In the news, this has largely been this way for the last year. Looking back on my previous posts there does seem to be a theme to this Jewish year of 5776. That theme is groups violently acting out to get their way whether it is the rioters at the Trump rallies or the rioters of the Black Lives Matters movement in Ferguson. Small groups of violent extremists (that means people who act out violently) are spreading fear throughout our communities. I will admit that this has been happening in the world for a while now. I'm not sure if the 'War on Terror' template of the Muslim Jihadists and the Arab Spring has been the motivation for the recent groups but it seems the fear for our personal liberty has been ramping up lately. A large part of this has to do with a political race between two people for whom many people don't want to vote. Like any cornered animal people are ready to fight. Last year, surprisingly, about this time it wasn't much different. Due to groups protesting in a riot like fashion in Ferguson people were just as uncertain. This was before a Donald Trump showed up on the scene to be the scapegoat for racism in the United States. Racism has been a theme for the last year. On weeks such as this one I tend to want to be at home. The emotional fall out that I can pick up just through Facebook is almost too much to handle. Since I work in the service industry I feel the direct affect of people who are angered and cornered. They feel that it's okay to take it out on the person helping them. So, when someone comes up and seems irrational, I know that it will take two to three times even if I do everything exactly the same, before they are happy because they are simply seeking empowerment at my expense. Such times are very psychologically draining. I do not subscribe to the ideas that we are a slave species, that the Illuminati exists or that an elite group of people are up to the nefarious evil of provoking pain among the rest of the population. These ideas are too simple and magical in nature. I'm not saying that some people are truly sick and do think that they are part of this elite or some sort of cult that does control stuff. I've had a couple of people (who had no reason to lie} tell me about some outrageous groups who really believe that they are performing some sort of magic to control the world. To give these truly psychologically sick people that sort of power. as though they can, is just wrong. True, far too many conspiracy theories from Operation Paper Clip (German scientists were brought over here to complete their experiments) and MK Ultra (a mind control experiment that the government controlled using hallucinatory drugs) were real. However, that doesn't make all conspiracy theories real. (I'll include a video at the end of this with conspiracy theories that turned out to be real). You Are What You Think There is an Edgar Cacye quote that always pops up into my mind when we are in a negative cycle like this, "Thoughts are as real as a poke in the eye." He wasn't the first to put forward this idea. There is a lot of material out there in the world that seems to convey this very idea. In psychology there is the concept of the Self Fulfilling prophecy. Once we get a thought into our head our subconscious mind will do anything to make sure our sense of reality reflects that idea. This is why for the people who want to believe in the Illuminati controlling everything, they encounter a lot of information that seems to prove it, because their mind is obeying the master. For those who want to see evil, they will find it everywhere in symbolism. For those who want to believe in the power of love and peace...we can find it everywhere. Mike Rowe saying, "Look for the Helpers," after the Orlando Shooting for example. We find what we seek and if we search for certain things we will inevitably find proof. In Sakyong Mipham's book, Turning the Mind Into the Ally, he describes the mind as a horse. That horse can easily be distracted and go on a tangent. That tangent doesn't always have to be positive...it can be a nightmare. A positive experiment that I performed with this idea is that I tell everyone I meet that I am fantastic and I have no complaints. Even when, at the moment, I don't necessarily feel this way. Amazingly, my whole life changed and began to reflect what I was saying. Even just saying that I was fantastic and had no complaints brings a smile to my face. Manifestation I have come across another idea similar to this one. This pertains to our subject because one of the things that seems to be happening is a much larger deeply felt division among people. The hate seems to be growing really deep with some people as though seeking to squash out the positive unified people. I don't know anyone who is truly feeling positive regarding this election. One of the ideas I've come across is that manifestation of our thoughts and ideas is going to happen faster. Before, it would take years and years before something would happen. We would, it appears, get a lot of time to change our mind before experiencing a particular reality. Now, let us say this is true. Just for a moment suspend your arguments and ponder that this is what is happening. Now think of a lot of people thinking that this world is a prison planet or that they want the end of the world to happen so that someone will come and save them from everyone else. That people believe that they aren't in control of their lives. That there is a big bad boogy man that's out to get them whether it's the Illuminati or Ancient Aliens or Satan Worshipers or whatever or in some parts of the world the United States and the United Nations. If thoughts are manifesting reality a lot faster than before these people are creating that reality. That is the reality they are going to see, feel, touch and hear. Not in the distant future but now! YIKES! Talk about McCathyisam on steroids. Conspiracy Theories Now Accepted As Truth Right now, the people being pegged as the bad guys by everyone is the elite 1% of income holders. True, it is sad that they own so much of the wealth of the world, but to me that just begs that we reconsider our monetary system and invent something new not form a lynch mob and go after the heads of people like the creator of Facebook. To me that makes absolutely no sense (again I will note some conspiracy theories have proven true but to just convict people as evil because they are wealthy is un-American because we have a system of innocent until proven guilty). I first heard the idea of the 1%, the Federal Reserve being private and how they were evil around 2005. Back then it was a way whacked out belief and most people had never even heard of it. Now, it seems that there has been a majority of people who believe that the 1% is evil and need to be destroyed. By taxes or whatever means possible they need to be separated from the wealth because they have too much while others have to little. Heck, there was a girl who organized the Million Student March based on this hatred of the 1%. Here is a link of the girl who organized the Million Student March who basically thinks that the 1% should have all of their money taken away from them and put towards erasing student loans and free college for everyone.
Bernie Sanders success is a manifestation of this belief in the never ending wealth of the 1% that can heal all of the inequality in the world if we take it away from them. He will end the elite 1% by taking away their money.
One of the candidates for the Senate seat in California honestly believed in mind control from a secret government project that's being beamed down from space. Today, I saw on Watters World one guy flat out said that the Illuminati were in control of the Presidential Race. Ideas that I read about in 2005 that were on the lunatic fringe are now mainstream. Even the idea of Ancient Aliens was something that was not normal but now everyone has heard the theories. Some of these ideas have been around since the 1970's but really didn't take hold in society until recently. The very existence of I.S.I.S. and the fact that they believe they will initiate the end of the world as prophesied by Muhammad is another example of this extreme focus on fulfilling prophecy and bringing about the end of the current world. (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/02/18/expert-says-islamic-state-is-an-apocalyptic-cult-bent-on-hastening-the-end-times-as-terror-group-releases-english-language-magazine-calling-islam-religion-of-the-sword/). There are Christian groups who are actively seeking Armageddon as well because they believe Jesus will scoop them up from this world and take them to another. The concerns about CERN and the "Great Conjunction" from last year was an absolutely fascinating example of this group of people. I find it really sad but there is a huge segment of the population that is absolutely in love with the idea of this planet being controlled by some dark force and that the only way to end it is the End of the World. They go to the movies and they love watching land marks explode and the destruction of the world. Just check out the trailer for the new Independence Day sequel. Time Loop In many ways, even with the movies that are out we are back to the way things were in the mid-nineties....from the movies (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) , Ghostbusters (1989), Independence Day (1996) to the Clinton's potentially being back in the white house (original tenure being 1993-2001). To me it's almost creepy. I had a belief, that I can't say was caused by anything in particular that something had the potential of happening in the late nineties but it was delayed. Then there was that potential again in 2007....and I think that the shift is happening now. I don't know if it has to do with the fact that people were starting to realize that the middle class was shrinking and that they couldn't have the American Dream of owning a home and raising a family back in the nineties (which is why Clinton ordered that people who didn't quality for loans to get them). Maybe it was the decision to enter Desert Storm which would start to destabilize the Middle East and eventually lead to 9/11. All of which occurred when Bill Clinton was our President and in which he played a deciding role. Are We An Empire Without Realizing It? I believe that shift is in the way we think as a country and the way the world thinks. For a long time there has been a focus on the New World Order type of deal. F.D.R. really thought he could change the world with the United Nations. He wanted to have the power of the entire world focused in one group of people who would then chart the course of world history and supposedly prevent wars from happening. They have failed miserably. Recently, I've been trying to think out of the box that the media has given us. Just google, "How Many Military Bases Does the United States have around the world?" Yow will get some interesting results. I had to dig up a source that actually reports a number that is mainstream (The Washington Post) and so, thanks to Ron Paul, we have an outdated number from 2012 (and we have probably increased the amount of bases we have since then) provided by a 'fact checker' writer that is astronomical: "As of Sept. 30, 2010, the DOD list shows a list of 611 military facilities around the world (not counting war zones), though only 20 are listed as "large sites," which means a replacement value of more than 1.74 billion." (https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/post/ron-pauls-strange-claim-about-bases-and-troops-overseas/2012/02/08/gIQApZpqzQ_blog.html) Note, here is Ron Pauls quote about how many bases we have around the world, "We don't need to pay all this money to keep troops all over the country, 130 countries, 900 bases....bring all of the troops home rather rapidly...they would be spending their money here at home and not in Germany and Japan and South Korea...." Wait, so the U.S. has how many bases around the world?! Then you have Obama explaining why the role of the President is so somber a position because it has such a prominent role int he world. Among those reasons is that there are "20 other countries that are falling apart and that will be looking to us to do something..."
Add to this the Undercover CIA agent that explains to the rest of the world we are the Empire. We are the aliens in Independence Day. That's when you start to understand how countries outside of the U.N. and the United States really feel about us and with so many bases in 130 countries...it's easy to understand why they feel that way.
Plus, we are the poster child of U.N. force if countries don't play nice. So, it's easy to see that from any country that is not a part of the U.N. that it is an imperialistic entity that rivals Rome! Further when you look at how we might have been involved in the destabilization of countries that were not part of the U.N. and pressured them to join in some way or sign treaties with our country... We are the Emperor with no clothes on because we are an Empire without realizing it in the eyes of people who are not a part of the U.N. and don't want to be a part of the U.N. What is even worse is that this type of "empire" is what the citizens of the United States are totally and completely against. Also, if you look at history and you include all the wars that are left out of the history classes we have in school- the War with Mexico (1846-1848) and the Spanish American War where we freed Cuba from Spanish rule (1898), you realize that we have been at War in this country more often than not. Isn't it time we beat our sword into plows? If we tried I'm sure we could find a way to feed the world but we are so busy creating and supporting this huge military in the name of the U.N...it's just ridiculous. Just think about all of the trillions of money that goes into supporting such a large military. Social Security would totally be solvent without those bases. The Presidential Primary Even worse, if the people of the U.S. realize the far reach of our military and how the U.N. operates and realizes that we've been using it as a vehicle to promote our form of democracy... Well, embarrassingly the democracy that we were taught in school doesn't happen in our own country. Firstly, because we are a Republic. Second, because it was discovered somewhere along the way that the majority of the people could be subverted. There were brilliant past presidents of the, including Teddy Roosevelt, that felt the idea of a "mob rule" was repugnant. If the government did what the majority of people wanted it would lead to disaster. Further, in the past, the type of government we were told that we have was not possible. Information didn't pass so quickly and citizens were less isolated from their representatives. The electorate and the delegates/super delegates made sense. They knew their people and could go to vote in a setting much more easy to count then counting each individual vote in an area. Now, with the internet and technology votes can be entered and tallied instantaneously. There is no longer a need for the middle man. The presidential election between Bernie and Hilary have pinpointed this weakness and made it clear that what the majority of the will of the people can be subverted. The Super Delegates votes mean more than the average person's vote and so despite Bernie being the overwhelming winner....Hilary won the Democratic Nomination. If people connect the dots, if the race between Trump and Hilary is tight with Trump making landslide victories at the polling places....the Electorate might choose to vote differently then the population and it will be the entire situation that we faced with the Super Delegates again. Then the entire system will be shown to be rigged. If that happens, the people of the United States will really feel betrayed by the government and you better believe that there will be a huge impact on our society. For the first time we will realize that our country is no more a Democracy than the sham in Mexico. Then we will have to question why we went to war in so many places so that they can have 'Democracy.' Two Paths For anyone who's really read my blog I'm revisiting a topic I've already hit upon. The Hopi have a Prophecy Rock that suggests humanity will hit a point where there will be two paths. There are those who will retain the old teachings and will go on to grow again. There is another path that is just a dead end and, "Doesn't end well." One of the things with the Hopi Prophecies is that the Native American people had to go to the House of Micah (U.N.) and share their beliefs and stories. If they did not get seats as a part of the group it would be bad for the United States. Well, the U.N. doesn't have Native Americans among them. Perhaps, that is why their council is so poor. If we suspend judgement and bias once more and just consider this...maybe that's why we see such a division between people right now. People are choosing which story line they want to experience. Do they want to experience the war that will end all wars in a great earth shattering experience (which might happen if we go to war with Russia)? Or do they want to experience something new? Trump, at least, doesn't want to make Putin an enemy and he has been vilified. Meanwhile, rumor is that Putin has said that if Hilary wins it's war. Voting for Hilary, it seems, is voting for an escalation with Russia. There are accusations that Russia violated the INF treaty of 1987 in January when it fired a missile and that the United States violated the treaty when they built a base in Romania. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-w-kearn/russia-ballistic-missiles_b_4760121.html) (http://www.jamestown.org/single/?tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=45425&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=7#.V2IitvkrLIU) Conclusion I want something new. Obama said something that really hit home for me not long ago. That the United States is struggling to redefine itself and I agree. Although, I don't think that people waving Mexican Flags and burning the United States flag is the best way to go about things. However, Bernie Sanders supporters openly declared that they are all for a revolution...and a revolution would definitely redefine this country. While their revolution seems to be violent based on their behavior thus far (we will see what mayhem they sow at the Democratic Convention "Occupy Sit In") I hope that we have more of a heart revolution when realize what the United States is and how it's dominating the world. I'm not interested in the current paradigm we have been peddled by the news. I do not believe that we have to be a military presence in most of the world to keep everyone from blowing each other apart. The surprise is that after this election, even if Hilary wins, I doubt she will get a second term. I really doubt that people will let the political system remain the way that it currently stands. Too many people are waking up to what our government really is and it's not what they think or want! Oh, and I am so over seeing the stupid landmarks of the world being destroyed. That's why X-Men Apocalypse was so disappointing. I want a new story line. No more the end of the world stuff. Stop thinking about blowing yourself up United States. Let's create a new story line for the future without landmarks being destroyed in some big battle or zombies, ok United States? Now that you are waking up and no longer zombies in a system you don't realize you support...start acting like the super hero's we can be and start fixing things. The citizens of the United States are some of the most brilliant, brave and good people in this world. We can find a solution that works. What is with this love of self-loathing and our lust for self-destruction? Here's the trailer for Independence Day Insurgence and X-Men Apocalypse that, as I said, completely and utterly shows that, as a nation at least, we are in love with the idea of the destruction of the world- just not by our hands...
Oh as a bonus here is a montage from the movie The Wolverine of all of the wars the United States have been in...keep in mind that there are at least two missing and this only goes up to Word War II. This doesn't include Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, the Iraqi War or any of the smaller skirmishes.
