‘One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.” - Plato
I never want or intend for this blog to be political in nature. In my opinion there is just too much hatred associated with politics for my taste and I don’t desire that hate brought to my place here.
I am mentioning my political thoughts, opinions and views as part of the story of my life and my journey along my path. My views and opinions would NOT be at all popular in my neighborhood or even with my closest friends and family. I more or less walk the path I do alone and it's been a hard, painful and lonely journey to reach the point I'm at today and there is no turning to go back. I can only go forward.
Previously like many blacks I had the political affiliations of my parents and their parents, etc. It went that way and it was never to be questioned. It's very difficult to admit this, but there is a lot about "black life" that is built on misguided traditions, ignorance, fables, falsehoods and outright lies. It's almost like "we" have a herd think or even a hive mentality and can only follow the herd or do what the collective hive has been signaled to think, do and say. It's almost like we're Nazi all programmed to march in lockstep no matter how ridiculous the action or dangerous the direction.
I didn't start to see the light of the path I follow until I had all my assumptions challenged and found they were based in nothing more than "that's the way 'we" do it"; "all my family does it"; "all my friends do it" and my favorite (NOT) "It's a black thang". I've noticed a similar pattern with liberals these days. They can do and believe anything they want just as long as it's in perfect lockstep with the directives of the liberal hive mind and goes along with the rest of the liberal herd.
In my first year at Mississippi State I had the fortune to have a very highly intelligent and well educated roommate that was a black republican. Before I met Eugene Fox I had no idea that there was or could be such a thing as a "black republican" especially back in 1977. I was shocked. I derided him, belittled him, and ridiculed him because he was not doing the "black thang".
I learned a very valuable lesson from him (one of many) of taking the high road. In stead of sinking down to my level and submitting to my petty taunts at attempting to turn him back to the path of blackness the stand he took and the standards he maintained led me to seriously question him and examine why he was the way he was. We sat down one day when we both had free time between classes. Just as I challenged his positions with "our traditions" he counter challenged mine with logic and facts. On just about every issue in our discussion I had to be honest with myself and him to admit I agreed with him.
We talked our personal thoughts about defense, both on a personal and national level. How we felt about civil liberties, citizen's rights and freedoms. We even talked about our treatment at the hands of law enforcement versus what the law of the land actually written to uphold. I didn't win on one single point and I knew it. He didn't rub my face in it; he simply smiled and said "guess what, you should be a republican because you agree with that platform.
I was shocked and appalled at the thought of me thinking republican, but from then on knew it for the truth. I can go back to that day and look at it as an epiphany and major turning point in my life. Prior to that day I would not allow myself the freedom to like what I personally liked. I only allowed myself to like what the hive mentality approved or had to follow along in perfect lockstep with the herd. My life basically changed. I allowed taste in music to change from strictly R&B "soul" music to everything that I actually liked listening to elicited good feeling from. My circle of friends changed to include folks from all walks of life no matter what their skin color or heritage. LOL, even the way I dressed changed from what "we" all wore to what I liked and was most comfortable in. It’s more or less like living my own life in a box of other people’s designs, limitations and expectations. When I finally broke out of that box and mental conditioning it was probably one of the most freeing moments of my life!
These days I've moved further still in my own direction continuing to march to the beat of my own drummer and doing the things I like, believe in or feel best for me. I have lost and alienated many former friends and family members over the years, but it's my life and I choose to live it on my own terms rather than the dictates, restraints and controls of others (only dead fish always follow the direction of stream flow). Today I see myself as more of a Libertarian politically than any thing else. Up until here very recently I voted for what I though was the lesser of two evils. In the recent past I typically vote republican, even though I felt the Republican Party was not abiding by its supposed platform and standards. I don't particularly like or care for the way our current government does and handles our business, especially the current way of doing things. I believe in and want very limited government about like our founding fathers envisioned when they created this nation of ours.
I love my country and feel it's worth my life, but I do trust our current government and feel it needs to be restored to what the founders created it to be. In my opinion our government is out of control, intrusive, abusive, inefficient, corrupt and very untrustworthy. As for my identity I don't think of myself as being an "African-American" first I'm personally familiar with six generations of my family's history here in America. I know nothing about Africa and can't identify myself with it. In my personal heritage I also have Native American (Choctaw and Chickasaw) as well as Caucasian blood, so do I just ignore and forget that? I don't think I should.
I also don't think of myself as a "Black-American". I learned that lesson while working in Puerto Rico. I had one of the locals ask me what I was. I thought he was simple for asking when I thought it was obvious I was black and wearing a US Army Corps of Engineers emergency operations shirt and ID. I told him "I'm black", not all, but in large part they are a mixture of black, white and Indian there so I figured he just couldn't figure out my heritage by looking at me. He then looked at me as if I was simple then said "It is strange to me that you describe yourself as a color. I meant what nationality are you?" I then felt simple and realized the truth of what he had just said and replied back to him "I'm an American". He smiled and thanked me (I also still thank him for getting me to see it).
I guess you can say I've taken another departure from the hive mentality my just seeing and identifying myself only as "American" no further classification by hyphenation required.
Something I’ve noticed about me over time is that I think ahead of other people, no I’m not saying I’m smarter, I know I’m not, but when I talk with other people and find where their thinking is operating it’s where I was hours, days, weeks, months and even years ago previously. I found the same is true with my world view and political views. I find my view constantly changing, expanding and shifting focus.
I guess originally in my thinking and I once viewed myself as a democrat. Later as I grew I saw myself as republican. After more time and growth I came to see myself as a libertarian. I’m not a member or affiliated with the party, but for people into labeling that’s the closest thing that comes to fitting my current political and world views, but not exactly. I don’t particularly like to have “labels” affixed to myself. I know society functions by use of symbols and labels are a sort of symbol. I may be wrong about it, but I’ve seen too many people identify themselves personally with a label then allow themselves to be manipulated and changed when “the controllers” cleverly change the meaning of the label’s definition and the folks who buy into that labeling change right along with it in perfect lockstep.
Another shifting I’ve experienced is with my level of preparation to deal with life’s problems and societal disruption. Once I did absolutely nothing thinking everything would always remain exactly the same. The next focus shift was to see how faulty the economy was and want to prepare for temporary instability. Like other folks who won’t admit it now I did get caught up with the millennium change paranoia and shifted my focus towards hard core survivalism. After a bit I came to understand that while the end of the world as we know it may fully well occur that in itself is not the total end of the world. Now I see my efforts more geared towards preparedness. I see a lot of potentially rough times and things ahead. It will not bring the end of the world, but some changes severe enough to impact society and life for a long period of time (7-25 years in my estimation). While I don’t currently have the budget to do all I wish and know to do, I do prepare as best I can with the funds I have available while also living a life in the present and hoping fully well that I’m wrong.
I’ve seen the corruption and evil and darkness and misdeeds done in this world for a long time now. I’ve hoped for change and better generally to be disappointed everything and at every turn. I still believe people can affect change for the better when they work together with single-minded focus, but they just won’t do it or do it for very long. Personal egos and private agendas always enter into the mix to cause infighting and bickering. No house, or movement divided against its self has ever succeeded or lasted.
I love my country; pretty much always have even when it totally crapped on me for more years than I care to remember. I still consider myself a patriot and was once a part of the patriot movement and even looked into the tea party, but over time I’ve seen it co-opted by people who don’t have our country’s best interests at heart, but serve the people who want to enslave all of humanity and keep us there endlessly. I’ve also seen those same self serving individual blindly supported by well meaning, but misinformed and unthinking people thinking they’re doing the right thing so I had to distance myself from it.
Reluctantly I was drug along into following the so called “truth – awakening” movement. I still find a lot of good and valuable information, thoughts and ideas there, but once again personal egos and private agendas will cause it to falter and possibly ultimately fail. I see the globalists that are bent on our total enslavement as my adversaries. I have dedicated much of my time and focus and energy into delving as deeply as I can into their agenda and trying to spread and share that information as far and as wide as I can. There is a lot of pettiness in that movement.
People that should be leading by example spend too much of their time and energy back stabbing, back biting, throat cutting, demeaning and belittling each other rather than our common foe. These elites have been in power for centuries. They have access to our true history and real science, not the junk they allow taught in schools; they’ve studied human nature and psychology for hundreds if not thousands of years and know us better than we know ourselves. Some think they have these people scared because they know things the general population doesn’t know, yet understand or don’t dare believe.
Granted some of the lower level minions might be afraid, after all they’ll be the ones thrown under the bus by those above them. The ones at the top scoff laugh and mock because they can see the divisions and know enough about human nature to have no fear of anything and everything we do down at the bottom, because they know it will never reach or affect them and their aims. One thing the folks engaged in all this petty bickering and squabbling fail to notice of keep focused on is that even past the point of the highest levels the ones bent on global domination are being guided by a supernatural intelligence. Until we also let ourselves be guided and directed by the greater supreme supernatural intelligence all our efforts will come to naught and we will find ourselves and our descendants enslaved or become totally eradicated. Either alone or with others that also share that view and focus I will walk in the light and serve that divine supreme intelligence that others would also call God.
One thing I’m sure of is that the so called “truth-awakening” movement just might fail without Divine intervention. How can any movement succeed when there is so much pettiness, jealousy, back stabbing, back biting and throat cutting? I see the globalists that want to enslave all of mankind as the enemy and the focus of my directed efforts. I don’t have the time or inclination to worry whether this one is “cointelpro” or an “agitator” or a “poser” whatever other ridiculous nonsense people in this so called movement say about each other tying to tear each other down to elevate their selves to even the least bit advantage on their crumpled bodies. I see one truth and that truth is that a house divided against it self shall not stand. We are no where near being on one accord with focused minds on accomplishing our objective and we will fail. The time and effort I’ve devoted to that cause I now feel might have been wasted.
Yes, I’ll still keep somewhat abreast on what’s going on and what gets revealed overtime as the plans of the globalist advance on their projected timeline and agenda. I’ll still prepare as I can for disruptions and economic collapses and societal unrest along with disasters both natural and manmade. My main focus will shift yet again to self development and keeping within my heart the beauty of nature and life and the highest creativity of art, music and poetry (these things too the globalist would seek to destroy or deprive us of) as I work more to become who I need to be to do what I came here to do. :-)
