Stay Strong, Stay the Course

Talisman of Polaris, the North Star. This star is a symbol of unwavering strength and serves as a constant guide

It has been over a month since I said:

If there were a way to do this peacefully like the USSR did that would be great. But I do not see the ruling elite as giving up ANYTHING they value in this separation. Please note how the so-called American Civil War ended, with the southern region ruined in poverty for 100 years!

Time to be wise as serpents as we who value the individual over the collective, freedom over slavery and family over government chart our future.

That month we were able to travel some through the USA and found some “freedom” (in perspective, still a lot less than in the 2000s, or 1990s .. or 1950s .. or 1880s .. or 1780s when maximum freedom seemed to be at hand).

There are parts of the USA that have resisted the political agenda to not waste this crisis in making this part of the world a perpetual police / medical state run by the edicts of bureaucrats in DC, at the state level and even at the village level that love to be dictatorial at their core. The Deep State has also shown its cards as being on the inside of this coup against many of the American people. The trust that was barely in place before has been blown wide open showing us all that Archie Bunker was spot on back in the 1970s

Government is the scourge that moneyed elites get their agendas accomplished though. Picture government as the plantation master and the evil moneyed elites as the plantation owner. The “Jones Plantation” promoted by Larken Rose comes to mind. A ten minute clip that puts things in perspective.

If you watched this to the end you will understand that this system has been in place all our lives, and the degree that we have FELT free is usually dependent on the lies that we are told to believe. Those of us that have started to see these lies for what they are have a tough job of having Samuel’s job (in the video) of planting seeds of freedom and liberty in the minds of our fellow slaves.

It is a tough road ahead as the American psyche has been further broken as evidenced by the poll that claims that 70% of Americans will continue to wear masks (for the “common good”) even if the mask mandates were lifted. This is further supported by the mask compliance rates seen in California (mandated) vs. Florida (no statewide mask mandate)

It seems that the sheep are more than ready to comply with an order that fails to make sense, to wear masks (from N95, to surgical, to cloth) that have holes larger than the coronavirus that media and the medical “experts” claim will not only keep the wearers safe, but also others, especially “Gramdma”!

Masks themselves are a great freedom antidote, and the elites understand this all too well. There is nothing like making everyone look the same to make them distrustful of others by default (did we trust people in public with masks before Covid-19?) and to eliminate the individual nature that each one of us was created for, being a unique individual facial wise as well as intelligence wise. We are more slaves now in 2021 than we were at any other time of our lives, and most of us still look to politics to fix all this and give us back some of the freedoms that were removed over the past year.

Good luck with that ..

Peace out on the road forward .. stay strong and stay the course.

Engage in Dialog OR Let the Chips Fall Where They May: Agenda or Serendipity?

Everyone is a unique individual. Everyone has been gifted with a unique set of gifts and talents. Many times, the difference in strategy is that of personality, or as the old saying goes:

There are more than one way to skin a cat

I know, PETA types have been triggered, however, this saying from the mid-1800s is from a Yankee author, which explains some things but I digress. The meaning though is clear, there are many paths to a destination, and one can force it in one extreme, or just let things happen in another.

While I am not a fan of “evangelism” to the extreme, many do make it their primary agenda to force a conversion of other people to a religion, a worldview or a narrative. I am not that type. I would rather “let the chips fall where they may” but others might have the patience to engage in dialog to bring about a change of mind and heart (or the other way around) which brings me to this quote in the Target Liberty post on 17JAN:

If you want to change how people think the first step is to understand the world as it exists in their mind, convince them that you understand it and do so without using the opportunity to give them shit for it. Most libertarians lack the social skills to do all three.

In my mind, I am not into wasting time proceeding to dialog with someone who might either be slow to track OR resistant because they are part of a cult (just know, Statism is a cult!).

Here is a great leading question that is also offered in this post:

.. I asked him if he was a “logical person or an emotional person,” ..

That question right there can save BOTH of you some time.

Most emotional people at the extreme are easily triggered and are following some Rx/narrative that helps them believe they are helping with “good thoughts” alone.

Most logical people at the extreme can also be on the rails towards some solution that they believe with all their mind is the way forward.

However, those that can do both, engage their mind and heart in critically thinking out of a love for self and others, is a unique gift and talent. These people were considered to be part of the remnant that a 1930s author, Albert Nock, would focus on in his life’s work. (see the last few paragraphs of my previous post that talks about this concept and where it came from)

Here is what Nock wrote about the prophet’s job. He used Isaiah as his example. The prophet’s job is not the job of the promoter.

“.. Isaiah, on the other hand, worked under no such disabilities. He preached to the masses only in the sense that he preached publicly. Anyone who liked might listen; anyone who liked might pass by. He knew that the Remnant would listen; and knowing also that nothing was to be expected of the masses under any circumstances, he made no specific appeal to them, did not accommodate his message to their measure in any way, and did not care two straws whether they heeded it or not. As a modern publisher might put it, he was not worrying about circulation or about advertising. Hence, with all such obsessions quite out of the way, he was in a position to do his level best, without fear or favour, and answerable only to his august Boss…”

Let the chips fall where they may (if that suits you, not trying to convert you) .. life is short!

Peace out.
