It looks like our little spell of cold weather is over. It was down to freezing last night, but it is supposed to only get down to 42F, tonight. That is good, maybe it will warm up.
I noticed, yesterday, that our lawn was growing by leaps and bounds. It has been too wet to mow these last few days and I haven't been paying much attention. I won't get at it for a few days either. The mower needs to have its oil changed and general routine maintenance. So, we are sliding into the Summer schedule, ready or not.
I don't like to write about how bad the world is. I want people to open their eyes, but I don't want to be the one, to parade all the horrors before them. It is especially difficult for us in the United States, because we were taught how virtuous we are. It is a wonderful country to live in, and we are not aware of having our freedoms limited, as long as we toe the mark. Most people don't realize how curtailed their freedoms have become. They live their life, day by day, and do what they want to do. Except for a few minor things, like smoking dope, they don't want to do anything the government will come down on them for.
Then we have a man like Edward Snowden. He tells the truth about government spying, on its own people, and has to run for his life. Huh; how do we make sense of that? Somehow the government is above the law; how is that possible? The simple fact, then, is we don't live in a democracy. Those of us, who have been paying attention, know that democracy had slipped away from us a long, long, time ago. We knew we were fighting for democracy for the first hundred years or so, after the revolution. In our early history, we knew it was something to achieve, the fact of the revolution didn't mean we were there. For a long time there was the spirit of trying to achieve it. Then, after the depression of the thirties and World War ll, we quit trying. The propaganda machine cranked up.
We developed the most effective propaganda machine ever devised. We don't need censorship. Every newspaper, magazine, and talk show host knows just how far they can go and keep their big salaries.
And, how do we find the truth? In the absence of a reliable main stream media, the internet is rich, with questionable news sources. How do we sort out the truth, from the fiction? The, so called, conspiracy theories often make more sense than the MSM. Then, we have the really far out conspiracy theories; that sometimes I suspect, are planted to discredit the ones that might be true.
How does one inform the innocent that their country is not what they think it is? How do you tell them, their country is behind most the chaos in the world? How do you tell them that, terrorism is a creation of the country they love and admire. How do you tell them, that what they think is their country, is really an international/industrial complex dedicated to control all the wealth and power in the world?
When people honestly believe, that their brothers and sisters and sons and daughters are fighting for their country, in foreign lands; how do you tell them the truth?
When we look around us and see, most of the population, in some form of debt slavery, they can't emerge from, on their own; what do we say?
When we look further, and we see millions working two or more jobs at minimum wage, we think, wow; they are no better off than serfs under the feudal system. We see the recovery is a farce; how can we help?
How do you wake people up, without depressing the crap out of them? If folks believe everything is fine-who wants to rain on their parade?
Some people may think I talk too much about love. I say love is the only solution. It is the only way I can look at it. The world, I was just describing, is the illusion we have created with fear. We have been controlled, manipulated and used in every way possible.
Those, who have created the horrors, could only do it by using fear. A population of people, unafraid, cannot be controlled. If we can, replace all our fears, with love, we will have a new world in an instant.
Let us dream of the new world, created with love. I don't want to think about the old tired world anymore.
Before I go; an interesting news item, not in the MSM. In the twentieth century we have had 3542 volcanoes. That averages out to 35 per year. We have 40 volcanoes going up at this moment. I wonder what that could mean.
Love and Peace, Gregg
