Name your sources of world information, or if you’ve moved on from that, what actual video or article awakened you to a different view?  I can tell you mine was Aaron Russo, being interviewed by Alex Jones, whom I had never heard of in 2008.  Aaron was Bette Midler’s manager and a brilliant and honest guy who wanted the best for our country.  He died of cancer, but left us some eye-opening information that literally changed my perception of life in America and even planet earth.  The full interview is on YouTube still, if you’re interested.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether you’re a crazy like me, or get your news from cable or mainstream.  Answer here and you’ll qualify for a spin to win this generically signed 36X24 poster from 1992 and an autographed EP of “In Plain Sight”, which ultimately led to the album Coup De Main. (coming in vinyl this year)

In the coming weeks I’ll describe what some of those songs are about, which is on topic with this thread.

Lastly, no judgment on anything you say, no rights or wrongs… just interested to hear how and where people are.

Cheers, Jude

If you look at the election as the most important of our lifetime, then whichever side you’re on kind of requires you to detest the opposing side. This IS by design.

We don’t vote for the most important things in our lives, they just happen. Toxic chemicals in our food, chemtrails containing conductive materials on an almost daily basis… and by the way it was 2016 when I went to Paris, eager to see if they had them too… which they did. (i’ve been photographing them since 2012) So it’s not an American thing but a world thing. Who overrides the presidents, PM’s and rulers for this?

Then there’s vaccine mandates, 5G towers everywhere. If I thought longer and did some research I’d come up with a full page of life/death issues we never had a say in. Add to that the release of films like ‘Civil War’, ‘Leave The World Behind’, ‘Don’t Look Up’ and a hundred other dystopian predictive programs with Hollywood as the official propaganda arm of the world’s global rulers. If you know at least a smidgeon of how think tanks works, you understand why the shock and awe in film and news is important for us to digest before the actual event.  They literally tell us what they’re planning, but we’re too busy with sporting events and pop concerts to notice.

After hearing both candidates speak, I certainly know who I could tolerate more at this point… but the main point may be that the real destruction of the US is people being divided by tribe, to which there are only 2, maybe a minority 3rd.  Practical thought proves the president doesn’t make the larger decisions.  Money, and the invisible oligarchy do.

So while you hate your opposers, you have to look at your own house of information and ask yourself:  What do I know firsthand?

The honest answer to most of the questions are zero.  Nothing.  We are in a matrix feed.  White rats, be kind to the gray rats when they shake the cage.  It’s nobody’s fault here.  We know not what we do.

Animals, wild or domesticated have clear objectives.  Food, shelter, companionship… and in the case of my dog Rufus, ball.  It’s not complicated.  That’s why we love them so much.  Now it seems to the point where their value exceeds friends and family.

It shouldn’t be that way.  When you go back and look at history, when phones and computers weren’t around… when cars and SUV’s weren’t such status symbols, when vacations were simply piling up in the station wagon and driving down state to see your grandparents… when life was simpler animals had their place but we didn’t have the capacity or space to love them as much as we do now, because we loved humans.  We loved God, or should I say we loved and feared something greater than us… and it wasn’t the government.

A wild animal doesn’t pore over their own guilt when they kill another animal for survival, and they don’t need to hoard it to show the other animals how much they have.  I assume they feel grateful to eat it, and proud of their own ability to have caught it.  Simple.

Humans have always been clever.  A quick lesson in history and you’ll learn lies, deceit and manipulation have been going on as long as man’s been here.  Whether it was Caesar’s 23 stab wounds, Jesus warning the people to ‘forgive them for they know not what they do’… meaning he understood his killers had been tricked to believing he was evil… all the way to JFK, Malcom X, MLK, RFK.  And if you believe any of these were lone gunman, well I have a rowboat in Florida to rent you this week.

But there’s something I began to notice years ago when my kids were in grade school.  We signed them up for basketball, baseball, soccer & roller hockey.  With the exception of the last, I had to pull them out of all these sports for one simple reason:  The parents.

It was gross, going to these Southern California games with the intention of enjoying watching little guys do something new in life.  Whether ours were natural or destined to be one of the greats mattered less than zero to me.  I just loved seeing them have fun.

But that was not the mood of the crowd.  These parents wanted their little Zach’s and Max’s to win.  At any cost.  They didn’t care if they intimidated the referee by screaming and frothing at the mouth from the sidelines.  The refs in little leagues are usually just grown kids themselves and can be intimidated by rabid parents… so it was painful on a lot of fronts.  It seemed that by witnessing their kids losing, it was just another loss their egos couldn’t withstand, so they’d scream, shout, yell, curse, threaten.  It was honestly a light crime scene.  And when they got their way and the verdicts were changed, a look of power and satisfaction came over their faces.  Personally they looked like big fat children with poopy pants.  I was disgusted.

At one point during a basketball game it became so blatant I couldn’t pretend not to see it anymore.  I pulled my boys from the sport.  Tried getting them into music instead, which lasted all of them learning “Satisfaction” and “Smoke On The Water”… until they pulled the plug on me.  Ha.

This coming election reminds me exactly of those parents all over again.  We’ve been mind controlled into thinking we actually win if our candidate wins, when by now we should know all these folks are controlled.  Even Trump to some degree… and if he’s the outlier, they’ll show him who runs the world just as they did with Covid.  They’ll sink the economy, create new John Kerry climate change catastrophes… well you know it could be any number of arrows they decide to shoot.

When I see people who have 100% of their egos attached to ‘winning’, and to what I have no idea… reproductive rights? as if we’re going back to coat hangers J Law? … is really something to behold.  The hate of people who’ve been watching cable news.  The despise from both sides when they see you’re not on their team.  It’s just surreal, biblical.  It’s like watching a collective generation go insane at the same time.

Enter Asheville.  Now we have a few different angles as to what we’re seeing, but one thing is for certain.  People are hurting, and in need.

Please, if you know about individual donation centers where the money or items go directly to victims please share.  I’m not talking about The Red Cross or FEMA or any of the other tried and trues.  They have too much bureaucracy to actually help anyone but themselves.  I’d really like to do something for our fellow Americans, so maybe we can start here by just posting what we know to get them some relief.  Churches seem to be the most reliable with what they take in.  Yes those money grubbing evil churches we have to witness in nearly every Hollywood movie.  These are trying times from Paradise, CA to Lahaina, Maui to Asheville, NC.  It’s starting to look like our food processing plants.  One by one they fall to fire, planes flying into the buildings etc., never to be rebuilt.

I will do my own due diligence as well and share what I find.

Prayers to those in the wake of the coming Milton.

Avoiding Predators:
Just as prey use cues to detect the presence of predators, predators use cues to detect prey. Animals can therefore avoid attracting a predator’s attention by minimizing cues of their presence, such as by remaining silent, seeking refuge, and reducing overall activity levels when risk of predation is high. -“unknown”

Most all my friends from Los Angeles have moved.  Many to Nashville, others to Austin, New York state, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona.  It’s mass exodus out of California.  Not hard to understand.  Insanely high cost of living, state tax, property tax, things tax, tax tax, crazy politicians, deluge of newcomers, higher crime, no law enforcement for serious crimes… the list goes on and on.

But is there something else happening?  Seems like everyone I know is thinking about where to go next.  Even the ones who’ve already left LA.  A friend of mine recently informed me they were moving from Texas to the East Coast due in part to these Venezuelan gangs who’ve been surfacing in Austin as of late.  It makes me wonder if something is in the air.  Like maybe we’re all feeling displaced because of some impending sense of dread or doom.

Forbes Magazine this month made a list of states people are leaving, and California was #1.  Congratulations CA. That was NOT easy!  You f’ing earned ever bit of that.  2.New York  3.Illinois  4.Pennsylvania  5.Massachusetts  6.Washington  7.Colorado  8.Indiana  9.Michigan  10.Wisconsin

And they’re moving to?
#1 is Texas, Yeehaw!  Now say goodbye to all the Texans who’ll move to Oklahoma and say hello to your new California neighbors.  2.Florida  3.South Carolina  4.North Carolina  5.Georgia  6.Tennessee  7.Nevada  8.Maine  9.Delaware  10.Idaho

So the first obvious thing one learns from this list is the old Thatcher quote- “The problem with socialism is that pretty soon you run out of other people’s money”.  This list proves that saying to be true.  And now of course it’s just a matter of time until everyone is scrambling from these mostly red from blue states and looking at places like Viet Nam, El Salvador, Mexico, New Zealand and others.  Many already are.

But I wonder if we’re running from ourselves.  People don’t stand and fight anymore, they make memes and run.  People don’t stand for what’s theirs, they go along to get along.  We allowed them to put 5G towers on practically every block, every square ¼ mile of this nation without a vote.  They don’t improve our cellular reception.  They have no seeming usefulness at all… well until this recent terrorist move from Israel to Lebanon using ahem… ‘pagers’.

Who the FUCK uses pagers?  I’ll tell you who.  Nobody.  Nobody’s using pagers, these are cell phones… but the cell phone companies don’t want that kind of spin!  So they refer to them as ‘pagers’ instead.  Whatever they weren’t, they were bombs.  And they blew up in people’s laps, people’s faces, limbs torn off, children dead.  By the thousands.

Some have reported lithium batteries can be controlled by cell towers and used just like bombs, and here’s a first sign of proof that they have at least some ominous use besides their fancy decorative motif of looking like Road-Runner cacti.

And all the arrows are in the oligarchs quiver… each arrow with a name, and all the archer has to do is draw back and insert any one of these at any time.

Nuclear War, Civil War, Pandemic, Mandatory Vaccinations, State Control Over Children’s Sexual Preference, Climate Change i.e. “H.A.A.R.P.”, MK Ultra & Mass Shootings, Food Shortages, Fires, Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Dollar Collapse, Banking Collapse, Commercial Real Estate Collapse, BRICS, Mass Migration, Open Borders…. i mean that’s off the top of my head!  You couldn’t manage things worse if you had a blueprint from AI on ‘how to destroy the world’.

And all I keep thinking about is being on that treadmill in my spare room back in ’09 when Van Jones… remember him?  He’s the guy Jeff Bezos gave 100 million dollars to because ‘i just like him’?  Van Jones kept repeating it.  “Top down, Bottom up, and Inside Out’.  That was the plan to destroy America, a revolution from the inside.  Top down, Bottom up & Inside out.  And aren’t we seeing every bit of that now?

So full circle, i’m not so sure it matters where we move… but it may be time to stand.
