Maybe I’m the weird one?
I dunno, maybe its just me. Certainly feels like it most days.
Maybe thats why I read other blogs around the spheres to not feel so “outta place”.
I mean, is it too much to ask that people in power are held to the same Or higher standard of morals than the people they are supposedly representing? Por ejemplo: I would spend a lot of time in prison if I were caught with an unauthorized unsecured server loaded with top secret information located in the closet of my home.
About 12- 13 years ago, a guy self-emolated on the courthouse steps in the county he resided in. Before he did that, he had released a manifesto entitled “two sets of laws”. That document covered in detail how truly screwed up divorce courts had become. But what he missed was that it was so much further spread than just divorce and custody. Granted, the guy was off a touch: I mean, ya gotta be more than a little whacked to set yourself on fire intentionally, and calmly sit down to die in flames. Mentally deranged or already transcendent, but not HERE. But his manifesto was dead accurate. (I had just escaped the divorce/custody minefield a year prior and many of the things he documented, I had experianced to some degree or another. I could empathize with his struggle.)
The MSMs excoriated him as a total psychopath. But I had issue with that label seeing how he hurt no one but himself to bring light to his protest. (Well, maybe the maintenance ppl at that courthouse; I’m sure a burning body leaves one hell of a mess.) He was depressed, granted: he had lost access to his kids in multiple court hearings. And any DAD would/will be devastated by such a blow. My only problem with his ‘solution’ was how narrow minded and short term it was. I lost most access to my daughter for years, but since her coming of age, we are much closer, where-as her mother is now excluded on a regular basis. My daughter’s choosing, not my wishes. But to call the man a psychpath was intentional misdirection. Hos written words were far more truthful than the libel he was smeared with.
But thats how the game is played these days. Truth is rebellion and rebellion must be squashed flat. Patriots KNOW THIS. They know to operate independently is suicidal, and will further undermine patriotism as a whole.
But what if we are getting to the point where none of that matters? What if we are past that “awkward point” where its past time to start shooting the bastards?
What would Henry Bowman do?
I said in a previous post that it seems every one , on both sides of the divide, are waiting to see what happens next. That ball is still in the air, still in play, and the score isn’t settled yet.
I hope, and this is just my hope, though it may mirror yours, I hope that Trump takes this thing, and becomes the Swamp Drainer Unchained. He will have his hands full because there WILL be an insurrection from the left with the antiquaburnlootmurder crowd and their enablers, though I don’t think it will be as exuberant as what we have seen in recent time’s. When that kind of group sees numbers like ’80 million Trump Supporters’ most (all?) Firearms owners and enthusiasts,,, well that right there can be demoralizing to a guygal who’s only real experiance with violence is in FPShooter Video games.
But lets take a step back and look at something else for a moment. If you haven’t watched the movie, you need to. 13 hours. What I want you to focus on is around the time the team rushes to the aid of the Ambassador. The confusion, the chaos, the very surreal environment of combat groups moving through a community busy watching a soccer match. How no one really knows who is who, or alliance; nothing was set in stone except the mission goal. THAT is what we can expect on these shores when the ball drops and the refs say ‘endgame’. THAT and a whole lot of stuff right out of Orwells worst nightmares if the ball falls the other way.
And everybody knows it even if they won’t admit it to themselves. So many are hesitant to make decisions because we have no clue what the future holds. No clue other than its gonna be ugly no matter how the next month or so play out. I’m being cautious as hell myself so I can’t say anyone is being the nervous nellie about this.
Gotta take a twist in path here. Read recently “if someone in your life makes you feel like you are walking on eggshells around them, they are manipulating you.” And I think we all know someone or some group around us that this applies to.
I’m getting to old to tolerate that BS anymore. I’ll say my piece: I won’t instigate, but I won’t let BS slide either.
And we need far more of that. We’ve stayed quiet for far too long and have been manipulated into a box.

I haven’t been through the bad-divorce meat grinder myself, but several friends have. And suicide was on the table for each of them, at least for a while.

That situation can push one to the edge.
I think self-emolation is still an extreme case.
