Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it – no matter if I have said it! – except it agree with your own reason and your own common sense.” – Siddhartha Gautama, a.k.a. the Buddha

Remember when Mama said, “you can’t have both”?

  Yeah, I think every child from every generation has some memory of that experiance,,,  Wanted that icecream sandwich and the fudgecicle, “can’t have both, choose one”,,,,

And here we have a government that is acting all of five years old,,,,, They want this.

AND THIS,,,

Choose one, (and we know which they wish to choose,,,,)  

Only thing I have to say about it,,,, If I, a veteran, aren’t ‘allowed’ to own a gun, but some jackass that triapsed his/her way across a border without permission is allowed to,,,    WE GOTS A PROBLEM.

Not that them ‘giving me permission’ is even on the table.   I have said and said and said, “I AM THE WEAPON“,,,,   Whats in this cranium has more firepower potential than some mouse gun from Mattel,,,  LOTS more destructive power.    And if they take away one option, they open three others,,,,  

Choose one, you can’t have both,,,  

and make that choice with some forethought,,,, consequences and all,,, seems to me, they hadn’t thought that far ahead yet,  obviously,,,

will it come to that? 

————————————————————-

I think it’s getting more and more apparent that there is going to be catastrophe in our future.  We have an economy that is so diluted as to be worthless, still holding onto its world currency status by the skin of its teeth.  An electorate that is in power by questionable methods, that defends their place by criminalizing anyone in dissent, even needed to corral the Capitol in razor wire for the initial swearing in,,, War breaking out in corners of the world that make 1985 Cold War scenarios look downright tame,,, (we only get better at killing each other.   As Einstein stated when asked how WW3 would be fought: “I don’t know, but WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones,,,,”) 

It’s real easy and tempting to swallow that blackpill these days, and honestly, the only reason I haven’t is a ‘feeling’ I keep picking up.   It hits me at odd times,,, Almost never when I am ‘connected’, usually in the odd moments like at work where the phone is making like an mp3 player, not comms.  Or when its just tracking what I am doing while paddling,,,,   My Zen moments in other words,,,, Those moments, the feeling hits,  I look out towards whatever horizon I have available, and I smile,,,,, I can feel a future, one that is REAL, just waiting out there in time for those of us that BELIEVE in a better world,,, not the figmented derangement “utopian nightmare” of the lefts design, but one where people are really free to BE THEMSELVES, free to speak their minds and not be shouted down, or have their lives ‘canceled’ for ‘wrongthink’.    I don’t worry about all that too much in my world, but I am so small a voice in the void,,,,

But I at least keep showing up, ‘telling my stories’ even if they aren’t much, and getting my mind aired out in a time that doesn’t look kindly on people of my sort.

You can’t have both.  

And they had better choice “RIGHTLY”, or there WILL be fallout,,,,(there is some NOW, expect more and in increasing intensity as time goes by)

————————————————————–

On other fronts:  Terrorist attack in Moscow.   I am not going to delve into this much, but I find it most telling that this took place RIGHT AFTER Putin’s re-election.   First thought that went through my head was CIA cooperative with Uke assests,,,  Dunno if that’s the case, but with the way things have been coming out about ‘intel’ manipulations, and the fact that our GOV insists on maintaining cold war apathies,,,,,  Dunno, just some thinks from a little fish in a REALLY BIG ocean.  Actual truth may never come out in our lifetimes, but then, there are many of those, no? 

Some other things I wanted to talk about, but don’t want to dive into right now, as I don’t yet trust what I have picked up: I haven’t verified sources/facts YET,,, But if real, we are probably alot closer to total meltdown of world politcs than most would believe.   

Only one way out,,, through,,,,,   That, and my occasional ‘feelings’ are about the only things keeping me from just walking my ass off the stage and out the back exit of the theater.    (not suicidal,,, just saying going dark gets mighty tempting,,,,)  

So, downer post in a sense, but not, since there are tremors of better forthcoming, I know many that see this, and carry on as if nothing were skewed,,,  heck, I do in some ways myself, but I can’t NOT see it as so many around me do.  Or worse, believe the narrative as if the Gospel from on High,,,,

tomorrow is “church it day”; didn’t get as much done as I should have, (lazy Dio Day,,,,LOL) but what’s remaining is miniscule,,, SO’ssssss       Yup, I get to paddle through the church of my choosing tomorrow,,,

Keep on livin’

    I distinctly remember Mom saying “You Can’t Have Both” many times. Made my choice and went on.

    Those horizons you speak of ARE there, if one makes the effort to look. So’s the “Utopian Nightmare”. A choice, indeed!

    Meself, I’d rather have a coupla folk around with their head screwed on straight (coupla bloggers in particular come to mind🙃) than 1,000 ‘narrative, msm’ junkies any day! Ain’t sure why exactly all that indoctrination didn’t take with me – I suspect mostly too much skull bone wuz in the way!🤪

    I don’t have as clear a feeling of it as you do, but I dam well know ‘something’ is a-coming. It’s a-gonna be a pure dee bitch, too. At some point, we’ll (some of us, anyway) come out the other side and rebuild.

    Meself, I’d like to see ya keep on keepin on! Have a good ‘church’ day!

    Y’all take care, and stay livin,
    Mike in FLA.

    My church day , will be spent sitting on my behind. Getting an upper body work out, using Organic Round Up…in other words using my hands to pull weeds.
    It’s a battle one cannot win, yet gives satisfaction ripping the vermin weeds from the earth.
