Feeling Good (and Bad)

I don't want to write about politics, although a watershed event is transpiring in the state of Georgia in the United States.  (Not Georgia, the Slavic nation in southwestern Asia)  Two wealthy opportunists who represent the worst of an anachronistic America are vying for continued control of Georgia.  Senator David Perdue of Perdue poultry and the most wealthy member of the Senate, Kelly Loeffler, who was appointed, not elected by the people.  Both upon hearing the news of the Covid 19 outbreak dumped stock and invested in products that would benefit from such a pandemic.  Scourge.  These are elected leaders whose responsibility is to look out for the best interests of Georgians.  They have failed.  To re-elect either of them would be an investment in deception, dishonesty, and greed.  In a nutshell such a simple scenario, the empowering of the wrong individuals, is what is capable of destroying democracy.  President Donald Trump utilized this strategy completely during his tenure as leader of the free world.  The best nickname for his legacy would be "The Stooge Presidency."  The human race all ready faces enough odds from the get go.  Imagine the Lost Colony setting up camp on the shores of North Carolina and not having a clue how to mitigate Mother Nature.  Plague.  Pestilence.  The elements.  The success rate of humanity has ebbed and flowed with politics being a major determinate of whether there is time left for enlightenment.  The last four years have been pure survival, because Trump, instead of appointing capable administrators, managers, and leaders, appointed figure heads to key positions in Washington.  Effectively he broke every law concerning earning personal wealth from the influence of the Presidency.  George W. Bush did it too but with a smile and a conscience.  Gas prices during his presidency were at all time highs.  Why?  The answer is because his family was an oil family, and they had every intention of profiting from his presidency.  It is ingrained in the human psyche to capitalize on power.  Two disparate concept come to mind here.  One is God and religion are the only things capable of instilling a sense of right and wrong in the human conscience.  The other is Capitalism is brutal.  It does not seek to provide evenly for all involved.  It is a competitive affair, and perhaps ruthless behavior compelled by sheer survival is a necessary tenant of it.  Socialism, although I am not a supporter of it because it is misunderstood in America, at least seeks to provide evenly for all.  By the way Big Brother is at it again.  When I blog on Google I immediately upon mention of politics have an eaves dropper in a low flying jet which has been monitoring me for months.  Once they were small Department of Homeland Security Kingair 350's.  Then and still often it is an FBI Cessna with a muffler and a righteous surveillance array.  An entrepreneur in Ohio designed this pod full of high definition cameras which are mounted on the belly of this plane.  They fly concentric circles in the sky over many cities looking for drug and human trafficking.  Politics aside it is all related.  The simple appointing of the wrong individuals to powerful leadership positions undermines the United States Constitution and its resulting democratic republic.  As I predicted time and time again over the last year, Trump as launched this coup.  As it turns out it has become a war of words, which was the methodology of Big Brother.  There has been a handful of violence, but it is less than the domestic terrorism that has unfolded in continental America.  Schools, churches, government buildings, and movie theaters all have been targets of such attacks.  They have been nothing but diversion, while the real attack has taken place in the offices of corporations and the federal government.  It has been methodical and brutal.  A group of Republicans thought they could launch a coup over American leadership and not be seen.  It was working, and it has worked.  The quality of life of the common American consistently has been diminished.  Only it has been disguised with mobile social media devices.  Addiction is a large percentage of this assault.  Uneducated and addicted charges are more docile and compliant than well educated and rebellious citizens.  The time to invigorate education and the younger generation is now.  I didn't want to write about politics, but as I am listening to my soul it becomes necessary.  It is all connected.  My ability to be able to pursue happiness is contingent upon the security of the American government and its honest and constitutional ideals.  Those have been lost, and we have been in survival mode.  I am ready to move on.  Today as I chose to record some music for my own pleasure, my goal was impeded by Big Brother.  The rampant polluting of our air with extraneous sound and electricity goes overlooked, because it is invisible.  The core determinant of mental health are these things.  Sound and electricity are core components of the human mechanism.  They can provide happiness, and they can provide pain.  When the brain and its accompanying emotions are free to actualize, spared from external harassment, enlightenment is possible.  When our thoughts and emotions, both frequencies of electricity are overridden, we become depressed and sullen.  Why is it that only God can see the great benefit of an invigorated human race?  There is something about the process of oppression that enjoyable.  When small minds can not think of things to do that are productive, they turn to oppression.  It is not easy this agenda of productivity and positivity.  I am struggling with it at the moment thinking of things to do which are helpful and productive.  Our instincts are a large part of our output, but when they are challenged with invisible deterrents, what now?  The mind must kick in, and in the words of Wynton Marsalis we must muster the sheer willpower to overcome, even when we don't feel like it.
