Happy Doing Less?

 The all hallowed bubble or the Trumpian Utopia has been presented as reality, since Donald Trump emerged into the American political landscape.  Rest assured he has been painting this picture his entire life.  Need some snake oil?  How about some magic elixir that stops the pain?  Donald Trump has been selling fantasy, since the puppet Ronald Reagan drastically reduced income taxes for the rich.  "Yuppie" also emerged, and it was Donald Trump selling Manhattan dreams to the young and upwardly mobile Nouveau riche directly benefiting from "Trickle Down Economics."  In the 1980's, a decade in which I lived a large and important portion of my life, I felt what has happening in the American economy was acceptable.  To me "Trickle Down Economics" was working, because the consumer saw businesses, merchants, and manufacturers reinvesting in their companies.  There were tax loopholes to be found, but I saw American commerce flourish as a result.  Never was an American mall so well stocked or decorated for the Christmas holidays.  It was boutique, designer, and gourmet to the hilt.  I looked forward to reading the Land's End or L.L. Bean catalog, because the clothing they offered truly was of a higher quality than mall fodder.  The musical instrument market burgeoned with the introduction of the Yamaha DX-7 and the Korg M-1.  Ray Kurzweil set the stage for soul-moving sounds in music production.  All of this being said I have a right to reflect on the current "Conditions of America."  Never has it been worse.  There is this saccharine veil of comfort provided by internet streaming on a smart device.  Never are you very far from digital comfort, if you chose to suck on the teat of an iPhone.  I do not.  I want nothing to do with a portable consumer device controlling my home's security system.  It is flashy and convenient, but it is not trustworthy.  I went to graduate school to learn how to use the Apple Macintosh computer mostly for music purposes.  Other than the proliferation of millimeter waves in our personal airspace, apps that are available today again are consumer level software.  That is the chosen market.  I like the professional market, but it is difficult to remember.  Anyone can have a recording studio on their laptop.  Anyone can shoot a movie on their iPhone camera.  What does any of this have to do with the Trumpian Utopia?  It is candy.  It is sugar sprinkled on shit, and it in no way confronts the problems and issues of this nation.  We have been living in a the daze of the surreal for a long time, and it is the Republicans who have been pitching this illusion.  Science?   No need to worry about climate change.  The arts?  Why do we need them?  Journalistic integrity?  Big Brother lies to everyone to aid the rich and keep them in control.  George Orwell's novel, "1984," came three decades later as did the predicted catastrophe of 2012.   We are in it now.  What am I talking about?  I am talking about the Republican philosophy of denying everything real and hoping everything stays the same, while their compatriots rape and pillage America.  You can wear the rose colored glasses.  You can bury your head in the sand.  You can do what the cruise industry requires simply and "Greet and Smile."  After the onslaught of Covid 19, you can wake up and smell the shit.  I knew it would happen in my lifetime, because I have been writing about it for some time.  I didn't know our war would be a war with a manufactured covert pathogen.  That was pretty sneaky, but we are onto you.  I guess it takes living through a Great Depression, World War, or pandemic to understand life's true challenges.  Waking up each day with a smile is a nice thought, and your Crew Trainer will tell you to put all of your baggage in a trunk and slide it under the bed.  In America no longer can we do that.  We cannot ignore the ensuing decline of American integrity, prosperity, and happiness.  We are not great anymore, and the proof is in the pudding.  The reality is you can't make a Hollywood level movie on your iPhone.  You can't write a symphony on your laptop.  You can't make art unless you possess the knowledge.  Talent helps.  I am an artists, but it is difficult to remember.  When I came back to North Carolina to look after my mother, I had to stop thinking about making art.  Today it doesn't matter, because there is almost no art anywhere, especially on television.  Television sold out the day it invented "Reality TV" and stopped paying professionals to do the work.  Music was compromised the day Napster allowed copyrighted content to be bootlegged on the internet.  Thus far it has not regained its former worth for the American soul.  I don't think there is an American soul, and if there is it is just Republicans still wishing things will just stay the same.  Ignore reality.  Ignore selling America out with Globalism.  Ignore reality.  Ignore grown up life.  Ignore the school of hard knocks, the Protestant Work Ethic, and home grown values.  Ignore God.  Ignore religion.  Masturbate to pornography free and prolific on the internet.  I'm not sure why I keep chugging along.  I am not happy doing less. 

A Treeless "Fayettenam."

Recently the Fayetteville Observer ask for feedback on what the most pressing issues should be for potential political electees.  There was only space for one issue, but the paper suggested this Facebook forum for more conversation.  My family has lived in Fayetteville since my father acquired the band directors job at Terry Sanford High School in the early 1970's.  I have returned after moving away to earn post graduate degrees in music and having worked abroad playing piano for various cruise lines for over a decade.  This return was necessitated by my father's passing and my mother's need for care, who now is ninety years old.  We are living in our same home in Van Story Hills off Morganton Road.  While I don't publicize my Fayetteville domicile, I have lived here for going on ten years.  I guess I have become a Fayetteville resident again, although the quality of life has regressed almost drastically since the onset of Covid.  I have strong feelings on what issues should concern local politicians, and often they are glossed over because the issues that really concern Cumberland County are severe and daunting.  Why is this?  That is the question.  Why would it be necessary to have a Facebook group entitled "Remembering Our Lost Friends?"  This group was begun, because so many from Fayetteville die prematurely.  Most who graduate from high school and attend college never return, because Fayetteville does not offer the amenities of other less military cities.  This is true.  It is not speculation, and not long ago Fayetteville leaders were trying to query younger people as to why they leave.  The nickname "Fayettenam" can be construed as an accurate determinate.  Life here is more difficult than other places with a combination of ghetto crime stemming from the proximal violence of necessary preparation for war at Fort Bragg.  This dichotomy is real, and while it is part of Fayetteville's challenge it is not all of it.  The unfolding military industrial complex perhaps is more challenging to Fayetteville residents, especially after the creation of CSX by former Treasury Secretary John Snow.  In the 1980's railroads were on the decline financially, and John Snow sought to revive their profitability.  He did so by acquiring and merging the Chessie System with Seaboard Coastline in 1980.  Since this merger then CSX-T has escalated to behemoth corporate monopoly earning almost seven hundred million dollars a quarter for shareholders.  They have positioned themselves as a major controller of federal and state power, and this influence has little to do with common residents.  They earn money for investors, and consequently this earned income overshadows any quality of life for those living near their trackage.  With the onset of AC traction in the rail industry in 1990, CSX, General Motors, and General Electric effectively grew into a dominant corporate monopoly stifling most competition.  The Norfolk and Southern resisted the transition to AC traction for various reasons, but recently with the emergence of Wabtec and Motive Power have begun a conversion process to rebuild their DC engines into AC stallions.  These newly emerging locomotives are like giants on steroids, and this incredible and massive power largely are what have allowed CSX to grow into such a corporate monopoly.  Not unlike the recent unveiling of G5 wireless networks with phased array antennas, the availability of millimeter wave technology at the hands of past president Bill Clinton has skewed electromagnetic pollution and begun to irregularly warm the planet.  Train activity in Fayetteville is a major antagonist, and I have written about it before.  Local politicians would cower at the challenge of both confronting and trying to re-regulate the rail industry.  George W. Bush paved the way for this unbalanced power by deregulating much industry including airlines.  "Fayettenam," while most often thought of because of Fort Bragg, actually is created by excessive rail and air traffic.  Fort Bragg is part of this activity, and we all understand the necessity of the 82nd Airborne and what it provides for national defense.  What is not considered is separate corporate activity in what Fayetteville really has become, an industrial park.  While some enterprises have folded or moved on, Cargill, DAK Americas,  Valley Proteins, Hexion, Goodyear, and now Fayetteville Block have energized their output.  Together with the activity at the Fort Bragg railhead, the Honeycutt Marshalling Yard, rail traffic now proliferates 24/7 with little regard for local life.  Trains are a major antagonist in Fayetteville, and not just because they block grade crossings.  AC traction locomotives pollute at a level misunderstood and not studied in any way, and this is the way CSX, Wabtec, and Motive Power like it.  Add the Aberdeen and Rockfish and its River Terminal, and newly drawn flight paths by the 2014 NexGen aviation plan to vitalize the private sector of the aeronautical industry, Fayetteville has become a huge whore.  While regulating rail traffic should be a priority, stopping commercial air flights  from flying directly over downtown Fayetteville is urgent.  One only has to ask themselves, "Who is this serving?"  They changed the Fayetteville flight paths and added express service to Charlotte, and now Fayetteville is the sacrificial lamb for their profit.  It is a huge disservice to everyone in Fayetteville, but especially for those up the ladder of economic success.  This generation of affluent Fayetteville is becoming extinct, and with its conspicuous absence has come exploitation.  Ask any homeowner living on the Gold Coast, Skye Drive, in Van Story Hills, in Haymount, or anywhere else.  None of these capable money-earning citizens would choose to have PSA, Endeavor, or Piedmont jets flying over their homes at two thousand feet.  They shouldn't be, because they didn't before.  Rail traffic before Fortune 500 didn't operate twenty four hours a day.  They activity was reasonable with no need to earn a gazillion dollars for share holders.  Fayetteville is a whore and to a large extent Roy Cooper has promulgated this title.  The lives of residents of Cumberland Country are secondary, except for the flowing dollars of those in the military.  The pimp in this case is the Pentagon and the Department of Defense.  Life will not improve in Cumberland Country until these issues are understood.  In my humble opinion Fayetteville has been sacrificed for Ground Forces Command, CSX, and the rest.  Investing in children living in Fayetteville is not important to the bottom line.  Once there was a strong Fayetteville society presence because of affluence and subsequent influence.  Because this generation is dying off, new money is gouging the pie.  Before long there will be no trees left in Fayetteville.  

Don't Ask, Don't Tell

I don't have much on my conscious mind except survival.  When the Marines come to Fort Bragg,  all of life is reduced to their reality.  In the field.  Big guns.  Kill the enemy.  Maneuvers.  Completely I understand the need of  American servicemen to practice their craft, and there is no better to do so than Fort Bragg, North Carolina.  When Base Realignment and Closure made the decision to make Fort Bragg (soon to be Fort Powell) the center of the military universe, the bubble quickly was inflated to favor this strategic plan.  Why not make Fort Bragg the bubble itself?  A bubble always will emerge in a Capitalist society to favor commerce and revenue.  For Cumberland Country and Fayetteville mostly it was and has been housing.  The surrounding area must provide for these active duty military personnel and their families.  Always that has been the case for Fort Bragg and Fayetteville.  Not until now has housing been such a contentious issue.  A one bedroom apartment in Cumberland County rents for $1,200.00.  Gouge.  Then again we are in the wake of the Covid assault.  Necessarily the proximal economy must readjust, and America's news media is hesitant to point the blame for encroaching inflation on the supply chain blockage.  It's like we just forgot Covid really is to blame for increased prices for housing, gas, and food.  The reality for a host military community is, not everyone living here wants to live a military lifestyle.  It would be difficult for those outside of the 200,000 military bubble to exercise any sensibility other than that of those 200,000.  The few remaining can believe they are not governed by Uncle Sam, but the reality is the Department of Defense and the Pentagon hold sway over Cumberland Country.  It is their oyster.  There may be a few independent businesses, but wholly and fully the majority of Cumberland Country relies upon the flowing dollars of the military.  There is the restaurant scene, and evidently it has taken the place of the meet markets once located on Hay Street.  The smut or more accurately the diversion sought by taxed military enlistees has been cleaned up.  No longer does Hay Street cater to the needs of G.I.'s.  Unless they want to frequent a baseball game with their spouses and children, it is unlikely military personnel will  patron downtown Fayetteville.  Instead they will cruise Skibo Road and shop.  Have the needs of newly enlisted military personnel changed?  After living in a tent in the field for weeks at a time and undergoing stringent physical and psychological training, what do G.I.'s want to do?  Once it was drink alcohol, buy drugs, and hopefully get laid.  Was it appropriate to eradicate this potential from downtown Fayetteville?  Because this potentially illicit activity has been removed from public eye, where has it moved?  Is it possible that these once recognized and championed needs have been quelled?  Welcome Barack Obama and his introduction of open homosexual behavior in the United States military.  Believe me Fort Bragg has changed, and yet nary an institution has deemed it necessary to assess the ramifications of drastic change.  Gays in the military?  What does that mean, really?  If we now are allowing women openly to serve, is it possible Miss America is signing up for active duty?  Perhaps the Lady's Auxiliary has enlisted.  If one looks closely the more approximate profile of women in the military might be lesbian.  Considering Barack Obama sanctioned homosexual behavior in military ranks, could not serving now be exploited for this purpose?  Military life isn't civilian life, and if examined accurately we all must agree that military life is far from mainstream.  Basic training in and of itself presents a picture of challenge and extremism.  It is predicated by discipline and the necessary instilling of obedience and order.  Above all military personnel exist in and as ranks of people.  They operate in close confines as groups of soldiers relying upon one another to complete their mission.  This reliance is a necessary tenant of the military ethic.  Traditionally if the military once was predominantly male, allowing homosexual behavior freely to proliferate in the ranks would be a major shift of policy.  It could be seen as an unfair and inappropriate advantage for homosexuals the same way it is working in the close confines of a cruise ship.  As more women are introduced to military service the equation becomes more complex.  As a nation who funds the United States military through our tax dollars, we have no idea of the dynamic that exists today created by this new change.  Only those actively serving could offer a glimpse of this life.  The LGBT movement in America has been championed as a virtuous and reputable alternative to heterosexual romance, but because of its underground and rebellious nature we know nothing of its true integrity.  I personally find it insulting that factions assuming this persuasion are demanding our public respect.  What is it about LGBT that demands respect?  In a crude and primitive analogy what is it about a woman who proclaims she chooses and prefers sex with another woman that makes her virtuous and worthy of support?  The majority of the male race would and should say, "Get in line."  Of course the woman form is appealing sexually to many, but because you step on the bandwagon doesn't mean you get to cut the line.  Again I suggest, "Get in line."  As a woman are you more virtuous and respectable seeking the affection of another woman?  This would mean in a blanket assessment lesbians consider themselves more deserving for female companionship than men.  Bluntly they are "men haters."  Believe me Cumberland County is filled with Nazi Lesbian Men Haters, and I should ask myself whence they come?  The logical answer is openly homosexual behavior in the United States military has something to do with it.  Whether you are lobbing a grenade, swabbing a deck, or seeking gay sexual satisfaction in your ranks, this now accepted behavior in all probability has lessened the integrity of our fighting forces.  It is an inappropriate distraction, opportunity, and personal choice which should be been kept separate.  Bill Clinton's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" really was not bad policy.  

The Chapter of "Loss" in Life

 It is a bit of a surprise to realize and begin to understand I am experiencing loss again.  It should not be surprising.  We have been surrounded by disease, death, and their ensuing loss for over two years.  In the newly adopted aesthetic of American media we have focused on the shock value of Covid 19.  Scaring the shit out of Americans is commonplace, and any semblance of logical contemplation and attempted understanding has been put by the wayside.  America no longer wants to preen intelligent, thoughtful, Christian citizens.  Instead our country covertly has adopted scare tactics reminiscent of Nazi Germany.  It has been the brazen voice and orange coif of Donald Trump who embraced and championed this extremism.  There could be no finer example of a blow hard in American history, and yet Mr. Orange, in his falsely proclaimed campaign to "Make America Great" has done nothing but assault America and her freedom.  Any viable and constructive tenant of American democracy has been undermined.  Sprinkle Covid over the top and you have a mash of the most insidious and inciting rhetoric in our lifetime.  What has been the purpose of this assault?  There is no more clear answer than "Ethnic Cleansing."  Listen to what Trump has said, and he told us how entitlements were bogging down the American economy.  "Let's get rid of old people.  Let's get rid of the prisoners.  Let's get rid of anyone who puts a strain on the flowing dollars to rich Republicans."  What Trump has forgotten is that we are a human race, and money does not just materialize.  For the extreme rich (of whom traditionally we thought of as virtuous in the evolution and development of America), they live is such a bubble that they have forgotten at a grass roots level of existence money still needs to be earned.  Evidently there is so much money flowing in their coffers, total elimination of the rest of the population isn't out of the question.  I would be bold enough to say that it is their plan, and it is called "Ethnic Cleansing."  It has happened many times, and we need to remember.  We need to remember an evil dictator in Germany rounded up harmless Jews and shipped them in cattle cars to gas chambers disguised as showers at Auschwitz.  The Holocaust was real, and it was a stones throw away from now.  Slobodan Milosevic accomplished the same thing in Bosnia, and the world with the help of the Dayton Accords instigated by Bill Clinton, tried and convicted him of war crimes at the International Tribunal at the Hague.  He died in prison.  As we live and breathe Vladimir Putin is slaughtering harmless Ukrainians.  I have strayed from my original thread, but scaring common folk has become the way of the American media.  The common folk who are old enough and intelligent enough to discern the difference between good and evil are few, and this is what is titillating my sense of loss.  My opening sentence to this blog entry was going to be, "I should be happy to have experienced loss before, because it will not be unfamiliar to me now."  This newer sense of loss has been elusive, and it is possible I have not allowed it to come to fruition.  Having recovered from severe loss your new mission statement becomes survival at all cost.  The deeply yearning and sorrowful shadow is as strong as before, but it has been replaced as the most necessary component of your emotional construct.  I will admit I have been in turmoil, because my creative and artistic voice has been quiet.  It has been quiet, because if I opened my Pandora's box of real emotion, it could be overwhelming.  Perhaps that is what has happened.  Reality has emerged, and it is sad.  What is this newly recognized reality?  First Covid 19 has dealt a heinous blow to humanity.  The death toll is great, and we have watched those around us die continuously since Covid's emergence.  To pause and consider the number of notable citizens who have succumbed to this disease is startling.  With their conspicuous absence a quick and hearty wave of capitalism has begun.  Fayetteville in particular, with her second largest military presence in all American cities, quickly has retooled available real estate.  This disease for the real estate market has been a tremendous boon, and the transformation of old Fayetteville into military Fayetteville is stark and upsetting.  Instead of recognizing and appreciating Fayetteville's existing infrastructure, developers are urgent to purchase and develop every available morsel of dirt, tree, and stream to fill their pockets.  We literally are watching Fayetteville disappear and get replaced with gingerbread housing sold quickly and opportunistically to landlocked military comrades.  It is an enticing bundle.  Hefty monthly housing stipends siphoned right back into the pockets of the local developers.  It is win win for them.  It is not for existing residents of Fayetteville.  With this influx of new military blood (and I am not discounting its viability), the history of Fayetteville is being lost.  It is not reasonable to compare the attributes of UNC educated professionals with grunt G.I.'s.  While the housing market and to a large extent the entire Fayetteville economy relies upon military dollars, malcontent, gung-ho, high school drop outs cannot replace Fayetteville heritage and culture.  They bring with themselves the limited education they have, and that means a severely limited ability to appreciate finer things.  Fayetteville always has been a dichotomy, but the historical foundations of Fayetteville are eroding.  The loss of this consciousness is the reality which has beset me.  I largely have ignored this change, and unconsciously have vowed to continue with my own interests unfettered.  As I look around and realize my own personal sentiments no longer are reinforced, it is a large pill to swallow.  Loss is nothing to laugh at, and it is tangible.  If you live the transient military lifestyle and are taught to be ambulatory and superficial, perhaps not growing roots is appropriate.  When you have planted roots, watching your community disappear is disheartening.  

American Planation Life

As a former educator with a degree in music education from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, completely I cannot discount the state of American youth.  I would not wish it upon anyone the school of hard knocks of which they have been a part.  It has been different than walking five miles to and from school.  It has been different than working three jobs.  It is different than being poor and wondering whence your next meal will come.  Instead today's youth have had to endure the most mind boggling misrepresentation of human reality in our lifetimes.  It is like waking up each day and being a part of the "Theater of the Absurd."  The internet has proven to be the most harmful culprit.  In human development and learning an unregulated forum for social interaction and commerce is not capable of schooling children.  As a connected database of information, the way the internet was conceived, it could be an invaluable tool for research and learning.  Social media in and of itself has allowed the decline of human consciousness.  It is like a slumber party gone awry replete with rogue stalkers, bullies, and now murderers.  The best example of harmful content are sex sites.  Because America is a free nation, and because freedom often is a volatile, contentious, and arguable subject, there is malleability.  Without proper education, instruction given in a legitimate forum based upon bona fide scholarly information, opinions, viewpoints, and philosophies can stray to the aberrant.  The human condition requires and demands roots, and most of these roots are found in religion and in the writings of Jesus' disciples in the Bible.  America all but has discarded God and much organized religion, and the results should not be surprising.  Navigate to Chaturbate.com, and you will find the modern equivalent of Sodom and Gomorrah.  Pornography is a tenant of American freedom, and as Larry Flynt often would retort you don't have to look.  You can chose to ignore certain available freedoms in America.  These freedoms, often controversial, are what made America who and what she is.  Unfortunately America has lost her way, and that is because older generations of influential Americans are dying off.  As I watch these people die, it becomes clearer and clearer truly we are losing what once was our America.  I don't much like what is taking her place.  (but that is a different blog entry)  What bothers me the most is a modern lack of taste, style, elegance, sophistication, and beauty.  This lack of taste transcends boundaries, and ultimately it has degraded and undermined human sexuality.  The internet is not capable of replacing the farm upon which human animals must learn and develop.  Using the internet as such a community is a mistake, and one only has to take a look around to understand why.  The basics of human survival and existence have become skewed.  Our youth don't know what ground zero is.  I would be bold enough to say that most human pleasures have been so soiled, manipulated, and subverted it is difficult to find traditional human behavior.  We have deprived our youth of the things they have needed to develop into functional human beings.  Is watching unadulterated porn on the internet a representation of God-given human sexuality?  The answer is no, and anyone can continue to masturbate while chatting on the computer if they like.  This is not healthy behavior, because it prepares you for nothing except hedonism.  In addition the shock value of aberrant, gross, and startling sexual activity is empty and ultimately devoid of value.  The value of sexuality is what is learned while mitigating a sexual relationship with a partner in the context of a mature, monogamous, and hopefully loving partnership.  These attributes return their value exponentially, and they do not make use of an artificial video platform.  They are realized extemporaneously, in the flesh, and in real time with another human being.  The problem with this scenario is the farm upon which the human animal is supposed to be living and learning is no more.  It has been replaced with the internet and more specifically social media.  Once upon a time not that long ago one had to venture out to the video store to find stimulation.  One had to frequent the movie theater or a skating rink or a coffee shop.  The result was human interaction of some kind, not concocted, manipulated, and often illicit activity which harms the human psyche.  We are at a low point in human history, and it is tragic and sad that we have forsaken our younger generation.  For human sexual development to occur, very basic requirements are necessary.  These basic requirements have become the antithesis of capitalist ideals.  No longer do we really consider the human entity and its emotional needs.  Simply we exploit as quickly and as quietly the monetary potential of our youth.  Instead of giving them what schools once provided, a neutral and nurturing environment in which to develop, we give them laptops.  Laptops feel nothing unlike children.  Until we remember the importance and substance of human feeling, we will continue to flounder.  The reason why our youth are confused about gender, is because they are deprived of the farm upon which they would learn their identity through trial and error.  The basic requirement human beings needs is a neutral stage upon which to play out their individual drama.  Upon closer scrutiny this neutral stage actually is freedom, something which no longer exists in America.  The freedom to think, feel, and act with impunity against any ruling or dictating governance has been revoked by corporate America, because corporate America has become our government.  We have been too weak as a populace to notice and understand the significance of this siege, and it has been implemented by what has become the Republican party.  The plantation owner still is demanding his slaves how many years later?  

A Sad State of Affairs for America

 I am in my second day of not taking extra strength anti-fungal medication thanks to Covid 19.  (Google invasive candidiasis and you will find increasing information on many underlying causes of death from this particular Coronavirus.)  I have had four shots, and I have had Covid three times.  Each time I treated the underlying infection, both bacterial and fungal, and each time I recovered until I got Covid again.  Covid is a nasty, ruthless, manufactured killer, and I would like to know its instigator.  It smells Republican, because they are underhanded, selfish, and fraternal.  If they can't win fairly on the playing, they will change the rules without your knowing or tilt the field.  If they can't win a presidential election, they will try to commandeer it with lies and hearsay.  The interesting thing is some democrats seems reluctant to prosecute Trump.  They would rather sweep him under the rug and tell more lies about what he did.  This is very Republican.  Knowing that Covid is a manufactured disease means someone is responsible for its presence.  Those responsible for its presence are guilty of mass genocide upon the human race.  Sweeping Covid under the rug like Donald Trump is not an option.  It will behoove the human race to know who their assailant is.  You cannot fight an egregious foe without knowing who you are fighting.  That is what infuriates me the most, knowing the perpetrators of Covid are flying around incognito in their personal jets scot-free.  I cringe at the idea that no protections have been provided me from this continued assault.  I have received four "vaccines," and I am convinced they are not vaccines at all.  Merely they are antidotes, and now Pfizer is providing this antidote in a simple pill.  I never have heard anything more fucked up.  If Satan has made his way to this earth in human form, it would be as the perpetrator of Covid 19.  Meanwhile America wants to sweep Donald Trump under the rug.  Rest assured this world as we know it will not persevere much longer, and it is predicted in the Book of Revelations in the Bible.  If you are one with God.  If you have accepted Christ as your savior whether you are living or dead, you will be taken from this stricken and dying earth and transported to a new planet.  Those who do not accept Christ will be left to perish in the flames of Hades.  It will not be an enjoyable or in any way applauded death.  It will be agonizing, and there will be no glory in it.  The idea that those choosing to sin on earth eventually will be with their compatriots in hell playing cards with the devil is insane.   Those who choose to be cavalier, maverick, extreme, and irresponsible for the sake of public election in history will be cast as the ultimate losers and jeered for eternity.  That America as a nation has allowed this seduction to occur, painting bad boys as heroes, began with reality television.  The Academy Awards this year were nothing more than a rerun of a vague unpopular Jerry Springer show.  Chris Rock and Will Smith should be ashamed.  Now it is common to watch notable Americans melt down in public with hair dye streaming down their cheeks.  A cold break with America's media is the only answer, and it becomes a lonely challenging prospect understanding what is around us.  We reap what we sow, and America has sewn nothing.  Instead we have chosen to rape and pillage our youth, and consequently American society is a giant abyss with no capable skydivers.  We will dwindle into dust as will this earth, and life will begin anew on a new planet of God's making.  What a sad state of affairs.  What a sad "Conditions of America."
