Coming To Terms With Being Used As A Pawn For Someone Else’s Benefit ~ Is Money Your Bottom Line?

The Republican Party is following the playbook of international oligarchs and large corporations rather than the will of the people, Democracy be dammed.

What is needed to recover a broken relationship based on the Big Lie which has been proven that the Republicans promulgated?

Awareness sometimes dawns slowly when we think we are on the right path, then suddenly realize we have been taken for a ride, or taken advantage of, or worst yet, been used for political gain, which benefits large corporations instead of you, the voting public.

The Big Lie is something Republicans angrily insist is true to keep you in fear, obedience to toeing the party line, while encouraging you to use your voice to ultimately hurt yourself and benefit huge corporations which pay little to no taxes yet make sure you pay yours.

If you are a one-issue voter, you may have made a decision to stand up for Pro-Life issues, disregarding the Big Lie of attempting to turn Democracy in the USA into an Autocrat/Oligarch system of tyranny. Pro-Life won’t even be on the table if you use your freedom to vote away your rights and give away Democracy which was won by long, hard Revolutionary and Civil Wars.

Democracy is fragile and needs our care and love to preserve it. It takes us all working together for a common goal.

It’s time to wake up, listen to accurate news stations as opposed to those television, radio, and social media sites that are political puppets for their own gain at the expense of yours.

If money is your bottom line, then making more in your 401K, investments, or savings account will matter more than ethics, morals, and truth in upcoming elections as you freely trade Democracy for an Oligarch system where the government is run like a business. But keep in mind, some of our business leaders have run their businesses into bankruptcy more than thirteen times due to illegal and unethical business practices. This is no success story, nor path, any country ought to take if they want to keep Democracy.

How do you fix the party that has caved to greed and who has betrayed your trust?

Stand up for truth before it is too late. The Republican Party is on the precipice of the cliff. If Republicans continue on their current path, it will be political self-sabotage. They will reap the seeds they are currently sowing. There is very little time for them to correct their mistakes. This country works well with a two-party system, but not if one of them is criminal, bought out by dark money.

As for truth, if I say two plus two equals four, but you say two plus two is sixty-five, that’s not a difference of opinion. One answer is truth, and the other answer is not truth.

As with any relationship, nothing can be saved as long as the offender in the relationship pretends there is no problem, the problem is not their fault, and/or the problem is all the other party’s fault, in this case, blaming the Democrats for the Republicans betrayal of their civic, social, and political roles for which they were voted into office.

Investigation after investigation has proven there was no voter fraud.

Stop listening to propaganda.

Watch and listen to factual, provable news from reputable news outlets, such as: Go to mainstream news outlets: Reuters, AP, NPR, New York Times, Washington Post, BBC, Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, Bloomberg News, The Atlantic, and Politico.

If you think these news outlets are slanted, know that you have been brainwashed and are being used as a political pawn in a game where you will lose the Democratic Socialism benefits you currently have.

It is possible to think for yourself. Decide to make decisions for yourself rather than following the sheep off the cliff of no return.

The voting booth is a sacred space. No one can tell you how to vote. Vote your conscience. Make sure every person is able to vote, regardless of race, ethnic background, color, creed, gender, financial status, age, or any other division established to limit the voting rights of everyone in America.

Step away from white supremacist agendas. All people count. All people matter in this country. Walk away from hate, which is fueled by fear. If you say you are not a white supremacist, then stop voting for the white supremacist agenda. If you disagree, then you need to do more study. Check out the Southern Poverty Law Center.

It can be difficult with strong-minded friends, but not impossible. You need to be true to yourself, not vote the way someone else is telling you to vote. This is not a popularity contest.

Also, when it finally dawns on you that you have been used for various agendas, by the gun lobby, or corporations and conglomerates, stand tall. You do not answer to them. You answer to your own heart. Your vote is your voice.

Is Death Only A Problem If It Is Yours? ~ The Problem With The Herd Immunity Experiment

Six to seven million people are expected to die in the United States of America alone in the Herd Immunity experiment. All the deaths in the wars of Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq are only half of what we have currently lost in this COVID-19 Pandemic. Start the healing with healing measures of social distancing and wearing masks, which are proven to work. This is no hoax. Your friends and relatives are not dying of a hoax. The wool has been pulled over your eyes if you have believed that.

The idea to create a super, white human race capable of withstanding deadly pandemics belongs to a past, fallen Nazi generation. That ideology did not and will not stand against the sands of time then, or ever. There is only one race, the human race, of which we all are a part regardless of race, color, creed, age and/or gender. We are all in this life together. It is not up to the richest or the most politically powerful to subjugate the people of the land, especially in the land of the free, The UNITED States of America.

We are UNITED, not run by different tyrant governments of individual states. Rather, we a true DEMOCRACY. The United States of America shines throughout the world as a shining beacon on the hill, where truth, liberty, justice, and health for ALL citizens are at the helm despite the jealous factions nipping at its heels.

Wealth, politics, or race of individuals are not the deciding factors for valid personhood in the DEMOCRACY of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. That is how dictators and tyrants rule, not a democratic republic of which we are.

The Grand Old Party, GOP, admits it is following a Herd Immunity track as a “cure” for COVID 19. Some of them are now back-peddling in the face of current realities. First of all, please realize that the Herd Immunity experiment is a fringe medicine concept which is finally being debunked. There is no cure for COVID-19, also known as SARS Co2, a highly contagious and deadly coronavirus. The vaccines currently available for the COVID-19 pandemic and are not cures. They are prevention measures.

The Herd Immunity experiment means that since there are 331 million people in the US and experts say 70 percent of the population would have to get the virus for herd immunity to work, 231.7 million of us would have to get it. Since the current death rate is from 2.6 to 3 percent of all those who get the virus, 6 to 7 million of us would die, in the worst case scenario. So if this is your idea for a cure, you might want to say good-bye to your parents and grandparents now.

Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center (https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/) shows as of 12/22/20, there are:

+ 322,588 USA COVID-19 deaths in the USA

+ 195,033 new COVID-19 cases in the USA

+ 18.221 Million confirmed COVID-19 cases in the USA

The CDC reports 36,000 deaths from the flu each year. COVID-19 is no ordinary flu.

Deceptive information concerning people who have and/or die from COVID-19, is that people aren’t really dying from COVID-19, but from heart, lung, kidney or other organ malfunctions. This goes to show the ignorance of what COVID-19 does to the human body, and how it mutates in individuals who do or did have COVID-19, and continues to compromise their systems years later due to mutations.

By not dealing with the COVID-19 Pandemic worldwide with stringent border closings, mask wearing, social distancing across the board rather than region by region, we are now seeing stronger strains of COVID-19 mutating among populations in the United Kingdom. Pretending we are above the physical pandemic, nor opening up social interactions before it was safe to do so did not solve the problem.

Beware of voter suppression tactics targeting Black, Latino, and Democrat voters. Legal voters are not only milky white people, and not only Republican voters. The United States of America was has matured past the ignorance of racist agendas, and welcomes refugees, and immigrants of all countries who revere FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY, and JUSTICE for people. Every vote counts. Your vote counts. You count. This is our DEMOCRACY at stake.

Children do get this deadly virus and many have already died from it. They can also be carriers, spreading COVID-19 to others even if they show no symptoms. Taking temperatures and having fevers is a symptom of COVID-19 that may not show up for 14 days, while continuing to spread this virus.

Masks and social distancing are proven methods to bring a country to be COVID-19 free, like New Zealand.

Maturity is also called delayed gratification. Delayed gratification is a mature response to social dilemmas. By doing the right thing now, we can move past the juvenile approach of not wearing masks, and social distancing adult temper tantrums.

All human life is precious. We all matter. Human life is not expendable in a civilized society.

God Bless Everyone Everywhere

Being Guardians Of Democracy

Democracy is a living, life-changing aspect of a civilized society today, evolving from past generations of autocrats, oligarchs, tyrants, dictators, and would-be kings. But the life blood of democracy does not reside in one president only, or any particular group of politicians. Democracy’s pulse remains alive within the heartbeat of you, me and everyone else in democratic countries.

Our country and ourselves are in a symbiotic relationship. Our democracy lives or dies by the will of us, the people.

Remember, as the Appendix of the Declaration of Independence states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (and women) are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men (and women) deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. …

“… But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necesssity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present king of Great-Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. …”

Today, as the final results pour in from this year’s presidential election, more than 150 million voters have done this very thing, changing the tone of the United States of American from becoming victim to another would-be king, based on the promotion of the Lame-Duck President as an autocratic oligarch, to a truly democratic government run by the people and for the people, who have chosen liberty and freedom over tyranny and despotism.

You and I are in charge of keeping democracy alive. It is in the words we say and actions we take. It is up to us to create fairness and kindness within our homes, work places, schools with empathy and compassion at the top of our minds. Democracy begins with us.

Democracy is hard fought for. The aspiration of any ruler in any country to take over the liberty and freedom of the people they rule is the misuse of their own personal free will.

We retain and continually stand up for democracy when we peacefully live in the liberty and freedom with which the United States of America was born. We do this in our neighborhoods. We do this in our daily coming and going. We not only care about ourselves, we care about other people, too.

Free will is a gift of God given to every human being born on the planet, regardless of what country in which you live. Our political ancestors of the fledgling 13 colonies fought long and hard for the freedom we have today, to govern ourselves, to vote for our leaders void of the abuse of all forms of voter suppression, all written down in the Constitution of the United States of America.

One of the reasons our country thought it important enough to later write in term limits for the presidency of the USA is that we wanted to get away from would-be kings such as King George III.

Do not fear. Fear is the fuel of hate and hate groups; fear of others, fear of different thoughts, fear of different religions, fear of different races, fear of different skin colors, fear of different languages, fear of anyone or anything who/that is different from ourselves.

Rather, be the light. Shine the light of inspiration and knowledge of what can be when we work together for the common good. Focus on positive, life-affirming solutions. The darkness of fear is what happens when enough good people think, say and do nothing. That is the definition of evil, when enough good people think, say and do nothing. Find the good. Work for the good.

Learn more about our heros and heroines who stood up for all human justice. Speak out and correct racial slurs when they are heard. Explain when misunderstandings arise.

For example, “Defund the Police” does not mean to financially demonish the police departments. “Defund the Police” means to help police departments by adding counselors where situations call for diplomacy rather than police with guns. Guns are not the only answer to every problem, which also does not mean we never need a police woman or man with a gun when the situation for that is called for. Also, all good cops agree that bad cops need to go.

We need to recognize all our prejudices in order that we can evolve into better people, better neighbors, and better government officials.

Democracy stands firm against all political leaders who do not choose to work across the isle with government leaders from a different party affiliation for the good of the citizens they represent.

Democracy also stands firm against all hate groups which have sought, and still seek, to destroy democracy by pitting one human being against another, or one political party against another. Do not fall for the undemocratic antics of those who seek to destroy democracy.

We continue to stand up for our precious democracy in our every thought, word and action. Democracy has not won by the vote of one person to the presidency. Let us never again come this close to losing our democracy, which is possible to do when we forget that it is you and me, and all individuals in our UNITED States of America.

God Bless Everyone

Words of July 4, 1776 Apply Today ~ Mail-In Voting

Powerful words in the Appendix to The Declaration of Independence are worth remembering. The United States of America still stands by these words, which are as powerful today as the day they were written. The action of the Second Continental Congress, on July 4, 1776, addressed the King of England, who they compared to a tyrant, included these excerpts, among other poignant words:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

“Prudence, indeed,
will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;
and, accordingly, all experience hath shown,
that mankind are more disposed to suffer,
while evils are sufferable,
than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations,
pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism,
it is their right, it is their duty,
to throw off such government,
and to provide new guards for their future security.

“Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies;
and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government.

“The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,
all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States.

“To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world:
He has refused his assent to laws,
the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

“He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance,
unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained;
and, when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

“He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people,
unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature,
a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

“He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable,
and distant from the depository of their public records,
for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

“He has refused for a long time,
after such dissolutions,
to cause others to be elected;
whereby the legislative powers,
incapable of annihilation,
have returned to the People at large for their exercise;
the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without,
and convulsions within.

“He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States;
for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners;
refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither,
and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.

“He has obstructed the administration of justice,
by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.

“He has made judges dependent on his will alone,
for the tenure of their offices,
and the amount and payment of their salaries.

“He has erected a multitude of new offices,
and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people,
and eat out their substance.

“He has affected to render the Military independent of,
and superior to,
the civil power.

“He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws;
giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world;
For imposing taxes on us without our Consent;
For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury;
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences;
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws,
and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments;
For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

“He has abdicated government here,
by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us.

“He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death,
desolation and tyranny,
already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages,
and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.

“He has excited domestic Insurrections amongst us.

“Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury.

“A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant,
is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”

November 3, 2020, the citizens of the United States of America have the right and privilege to cast votes for the next President of the United States. All votes matter. All votes will be counted. Mail-in votes will be counted. Our hard-fought-for Democracy is on the line in this Presidential election.

To say mail-in votes shouldn’t or can’t be counted is fraud.

Some people, try to cast doubt about mail-in voting, by saying it is too new and untried. This is not true. History shows we have been using mail-in voting since the Civil War.

Others who say there is not enough use to know if mail-in votes will be susceptible to fraud, have no basis to say this, based on the US history of mail-in voting record.

The entire US Military, all students in schools outside their own states, and five states have been using mail-in voting solely. Also 29 states have been using it with no excuse needed and then there are the other 17 states that use it if you have an excuse for not being in the state on election day. Most politicians and diplomats use it too.

As to fraud, according to an article in Reuters, “The conservative Heritage Foundation, which has warned of the risks of mail voting, found 14 cases of attempted mail fraud out of roughly 15.5 million ballots cast in Oregon since that state started conducting elections by mail in 1998.” In past elections 1 in 4 votes were cast by mail.

Saying mail-in ballots will create fraud is, plainly put, fraud.

God Bless You All
