Trump assisanation attempt again?

[Iron1]

All this 5th gen warfare has me so burnt out and disinterested in just about anything in this country now. The system owners / orchestrators have nothing good/beneficial ahead for any of us.

I'm with you. My wife wakes up and puts the talking heads on TV before 7am. I just don't have the energy to be outraged at every turn.

My theory is the lack of a hope is largely why we're seeing a decline in work ethic. When you don't believe in a better tomorrow, when you've already been priced out of ownership, what's the point? Do enough to keep whatever roof over your head and garbage food on your plate, to hell with the rest.

An accurate summary, Iron.

I suppose anything is possible, but not very probable (kinda like me winning the Powerball Lottery). That would mean that Trump hires a 20 kid who's not a very good shot to shoot him, but only in the ear while moving, and please miss my brains that are only a few inches away. But sure, I suppose it's possible.

Having heard people that regularly shoot, the fact that the kid missed Trump from that close a distance using a weapon that had a scope is a miracle. He must have been hurried when the cop looked over the edge of the roof and hopped down. Who knows....

Weapon with a scope is only useful if the person using it , sighted it in proper. I can see some numb nuts like this sitting in their bedroom with a laser bore site thinking he's Carlos Hathcock but shit just aint like that. An i'm no school trained shooter I just spent years feeding a family off the end of a rifle.

So if you read through any of the individual arrests on the heritage database you’ll also see that they list quite a few Republicans that have been committing fraud as well. Just thought that might be worth mentioning.

Anyone that commits voter fraud should be locked up for good. This destroys our republic.

I wish all this politic and superiority contest could / would vanish from existence.
The intensity level that our public has been brought to (both “sides”), has brought out far more of the worst in us rather than the best in us. There’s so much mutual disdain, judgment, and sheer hate that we’ve allowed ourselves to be both manipulated into, as well as fostered / manufactured from without and within too many of us.
I wish there would be a wave to sweep through us all, revealing to us very clearly that our lives aren’t to be so moved, influenced, controlled and so forth, by any institutional construct, nationality, world system tradition/s and so forth. Materialism, wealth, status, control, exclusive cultural superiority complex…. such things shouldn’t hold such influence on us. Our common humanity, shared nature, need to be loved and to love, to experience happiness, joy, to be valued and to value ought to be far more potent motivators and influences in us. We’re so consumed with so much we can’t control — yet we somewhat obsess over obtaining control nonetheless.
We ALL (humanity) globally have such mind blowing potential.
Hey, at least I can dream. Sadly, I realize collectively we won’t make such unified change — BUT, we can pursue such change willfully, determinedly as individuals one by one.
Personally I realize that clinging to a sort of supremacist pride in what geographic plot of dirt I was born within, is senseless, meaningless in the bigger picture. So is any ethnic, religious, status, materialism etc.
Character development inclusive of such things as compassion, care, kindness, acceptance, honesty, patience, forgiveness, generosity and the like, are so much greater than the garbage we’ve become so consumed by as a society.
There’s much more to say about all this, but I’ll step off here. I’m just really disheartened what’s become of us as a people.

Politics brings out the ugly in all of us. I used to let it get me all ramped up and then I finally realized it just wasn't worth it. Politicians aren't public servants there self serving. There in it for the money and when it's all about the money, greed, it's gonna be ugly. The fucked up part is they want it to be ugly. Take for example the debates. Both side want rules to make sure it's ugly when keeping it civil can be so easy. Keep the mic off on the candidate who's not talking. Give them 5 minutes to explain how they will accomplish what ever the host wants them to. If the candidate says anything about there opponent the host stops them and docs them 1 minute. Three strikes and you lose whatever time is left.

I'm glad you wrote that. I have been feeling pretty low ambition last couple of months as this insanity continues to escalate. A week ago some fool gang member type goes into my church and causes a seen at communion, went back to his seat and wings around a knife yelling profanities. I wasn't there at that mass thankfully. I probably would have got stabbed or beat him to death or both. Plus I had COVID back to back 2 months in a row. Pretty much I've had some sort of respiratory infection since March off and on. I hadn't had as much as a sniffle for 3.5 years and then boom. Everybody around me is sick. A bunch of them have cancer. I can't seem to keep many friends either. I must be ranting too much. I seem to lose one a month. The last 4 years I have been amped up, gun range, heavy bag/speed bag, grappling drills all the time just to amp it down. Actually I feel so melancholy one minute and pissed off the next. I spend more time at church. I joined 2 fraternal groups. I figure if I keep reminding myself to be good I won't do something to cause chaos in my life like bang some strange or put someone in the hospital or get shot or stabbed. It's tough. When you're amped up you see everything. You get pissed off just from reading people, have less tolerance for assholes. Anyhow, I have way more positive in my life than a lot of people right now. I should be grateful enough to find some inner peace. But then you have the fucking psychos in the State Dept, NATO and EU plotting to force a nuclear exchange. I still think the way out of this is to have 2-3 of these psychos in government have their heads turn into pink mist live on the tele. Heck they tried to do that to Trump twice. All is fair in love and war right? It ain't love but we sure are at war.

Ive been diagnosed long ago with Blind Rage/ Berserker syndrome.

The disorder, the Berkserker/Blind Rage Syndrome, is characterized by (1) violent overreaction to physical, verbal, or visual insult; (2) amnesia during the actual period of violence; (3) abnormally great strength; and (4) specifically target-oriented violence.

Part of what you describe , the ranting , the raging , the cant keep friends , not feeling comfortable around any one for long or unable to tolerate any amount of bullshit with out the fuse starting to burn an shit going bad. Is how i spent a good part of my life and its just not any fun.

Took me years to sort of be able to deal with it , meditation , sitting za-zen - my meds

You ever need or want to talk ,, i got big enough ears to listen.

Thanks! I think it's nearly normal for a red blooded male to be on edge in this current global situation. You are probably on the right track with me. Thanks to martial arts, I got a handle on it early. most of my ranting is based on the shit show that started in 2019 world wide. People don't want to hear it. They want to ignore it and get on with their lives. Meanwhile the control grid slowly rolls out. The currency system is in collapse. The BRICS alliance and alternative currency gains momentum as the Petro-dollar is dieing. etc etc. I'm just pushing myself toward stoicism, which should lead us away from such behavior.

Most of my life I had what they called anger issues. After my boss had talked to me about it so many times I finally went to a counselor and he would say 'what is the first thing you feel before you go off'? I told him that doesn't happen, I go from calm to rage at the snap off a finger. He didn't believe it and kept his counseling on that basis. I went to at least 3 other counselors who gave me the same advice. One day a good friend who had the same issue tells me his Dr. just put him on lexapro and it had been really helping keep his anger in check. So I went to my Dr. and he gave me a script. With out it, for example, I could be in line at the grocery store trying to check out and some blue hair pulls out her check book and takes an hr. to write said check. immediately I feel justified in pitching a fit and saying and doing what ever I want to rectify the situation. Since it's not my fault that I'm angry I think everyone, except the people I'm ranting at, are on my side and glad I'm doing something about it. When taking lexapro it makes me step back and take a minute to realize I'm about to make a total ass of myself, maybe end up in jail, so if appropriate, I'll exit stage left to calm down. Sometimes these brain issues require medication to get your wiring straight and no amount of counseling is going to help.
