    Default Trump this, Trump that, Go have a walk!

    Just like that H1N1 era, I'm starting to get dizzy with all the news on politics right now.
    I don't even watch tv or listen to the radio and I can't seem to evade severe Trumpitis.

    I go out with friends to change the air and I find myself even having to evade and escape Trump discussions again and again.



    SO, I reminded myself that trees, plants and animals don't give a hoot about all this and they won't ever bother me..!

    What a relief to go have a walk somewhere in nature.

    We will be having many weeks and months of negative energy from very polarized people who put the hearts into one color, one hand of the same body, one dude or dudess in a suit....

    So don't forget the tools out there to refresh and detox or else, you will suffer physical problems from the stress of it all and frankly, its not worth it!

    have a nice day.

    Oh!!! don't I understand - furthermore, we are not even American, we had no weight in their last election and yet, we are caught day in day out with severe Trumpitis. And it seems there is no cure..... well, maybe weed someone!!! please....

    I usually wake up with a radio station that I used to like, but since Trump campaign and worst since its election, they have negative comments again and again within one hour, every single morning. I am so fed up that before changing station and going for music only, I will call the station to tell them how enough of this negativity I have, up over my head of enough.

    Same on the forum, not much anything else, that could be interesting. All science or ET threads seem to be disregarded lately.

    Sigh...

    Consider that some of us do not see it as "Trump this, Trump that" but that some of us see it as -

    "Perhaps a real chance that the world might change such that the powers behind the activities of "the deep state" loose their grip and that we all (including them) find ourselves experiencing the kind of world most of us wish for and which many of us see as possible...

    ...and that a Donald Trump could make a difference in that happening... and that some, like myself, and probably foolishly... but still (at least honestly) believe he actually can."

    In addition, I see Trump much like Guy Fawkes who almost succeeded in getting a significant slice of humanity 'over that hump.'

    I applaud the heart and intelligence of this forum in that so many have recognized the massive significance of this opportunity. I also accept, through understanding, that most folks have difficulty in exploring the dark underbelly of humanity to actually have a clue at how dark that darkness may actually be. It takes courage, it takes open mindedness... it takes the willingness to overlook the unpolishedness of Trump and his team... but most of all... I must emphasize the courage it truly takes to look at the information available which reveals a huge likelihood we are mostly if not all but completely controlled by those who simply are unable to bring forth what most of us take for granted lies within the hearts of each and every one of us... compassion and empathy.

    I personally believe it is there... at least a spark of this... within each and every human being.

    Can we bring this forth?

    If so, why knock down those who may actually be proactive in trying to make this happen? Those who are just as likely as myself to be anything but perfect yet who at least have the guts to try and bring forth true, significant and lasting change?

    And guess what happens if THAT happens... the trees benefit too. In fact, all life benefits.
    All the above is all and only my opinion - all subject to change and not meant to be true for anyone else regardless of how I phrase it.

    Centuries ago, American Indians living in the great plains of middle America would hunt buffalo as one of their sources of food, leather and such.

    In a straight up competition between a herd of thundering buffalo and a village of Indians, the Indians would have lost, with their tents trampled, their horses stampeded, and few Indians surviving, most of those seriously injured.

    So the Indians would spend a day, in an organized "attack" from multiple directions, getting the buffalo herd increasingly paniced, until the Indians got some of the buffalo herd to run off a cliff, to their death and to their fate as food and raw material (leather, horns, etc) for the Indians.
    Now it is we, the people, who are the buffalo, and the elite who are the Indians. There is a time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest (Ecclesiastes 3:2). There is a time to run and a time to be still, a time to hide and a time to stand tall, a time to think and a time to act, a time to prepare and a time to use what's at hand.

    May we choose well.

    All the problems started with a man not being content with what he has ...instead he wanted more, his neighbors house, land, cattle, minerals, then groups of men, taking more and more, then spreading out to distant lands, across oceans, consuming everything as his own, then other groups of men opposed them, enter war and suffering...repeat...repeat... Until mankind placed their destiny in the hands of a small group far away and chose to live without responsibility for self ...be content with what you have, and be the star of your own life... Sadly many will let whomever sits in a chair miles away determine their thoughts, and ultimately their fate and state of being... You are responsible for you... Sometimes it takes fresh air to put things in perspective... Nature never fails us, although we fail nature sometimes... Live free, live your way, as long as it does no harm to others...you can still chase your dreams... You can overcome,because you are the I am ... Chew on it down to the bone...

    I'm with you Olam. Im pretty reclusive and watch very little tv...but still, it seems everywhere I look I see his strawberry colored combover and orange'ish bloated face watching me thru those squinty eyes of his. I dont really buy the whole trump-as-folk-hero bit...but I hope im wrong. And if I am i'll happily tack a trump poster to my wall and kiss it every morning when I wake up. But till then....

    I felt the same way about 9/11. Dont get me wrong..I was just as horrfied as everyone else. But once the dust settled (no pun intended) one of my first thoughts was, "oh f#ck, this is all we're gonna hear about morning noon n night for the next umpteen years...".

    Sometimes it seems the only escape is to retreat to ones room, draw the blinds, and stare at the ceiling. And I do quite a bit of that, actually.

    Yes of coarse I agree that its important to pay attention to what is going on and do what we can to participate in positive change.
    Indeed I feel we are very close to some big changes,no matter how painful, we must go forward.
    At the same time though, I the spirit ,having this short human experience, does not want to forget the simple things that we have in 3D that make life special.
    I was once a recluse too, afraid of whats out there. Now though, I participate lots more in this life and I always put emphasis on the simple pleasures I can bring to others as well as myself.

    Yes I hear someone saying we got to fight to keep those simple pleasures, but I choose to fight differently.
    I choose to glow of being happy to be here, trusting fully that it can change things around me profoundly.

    I guess its just the awareness of not biting the bait of divisive politics as well as always keeping them in my peripheral vision.

    yes but the only similarity is that the indians want to feed on the buffalo but the buffalo doesnt want to feed on the indian. the elite wants to screw us but we have no interest in screwing them. I hope you are not saying that they are far superior than the ordinary joe. its very clear to me that the technique they are using is the common street trick of bribe and threat and lies. they hijack the money supply the military and the media and is using it to bulldoze their way into globalism. shun the money do not subscribe to media lies educate the military. thats all there is to do for us

    It is amazing just how much Trump's victory has polarized the world. It seems obvious that there is a lot more to this than the usual political dialectic. On a personal level Trump has been a genius in discerning the zeitgeist, leveraging the massive discontent and angst of the 'silent majority' - The times are 'interesting' enough for us all.

    I think had Hillary won it would be the same. Trump supporters would of not sat down with the loss.
    Maybe Democrats are the older generation and so don't have the same fight in them?
    I don't know but feel its less violent with Trump there as the younger generations won?

    I'm with you Olam. Im pretty reclusive and watch very little tv...but still, it seems everywhere I look I see his strawberry colored combover and orange'ish bloated face watching me thru those squinty eyes of his. I dont really buy the whole trump-as-folk-hero bit...but I hope im wrong. And if I am i'll happily tack a trump poster to my wall and kiss it every morning when I wake up. But till then....

    I felt the same way about 9/11. Dont get me wrong..I was just as horrfied as everyone else. But once the dust settled (no pun intended) one of my first thoughts was, "oh f#ck, this is all we're gonna hear about morning noon n night for the next umpteen years...".

    Sometimes it seems the only escape is to retreat to ones room, draw the blinds, and stare at the ceiling. And I do quite a bit of that, actually.
    I don't buy the "Trump-as-folk-hero bit" either. I think a lot of people are projecting their hopes onto him as if he is truly an "outsider", even as a billionaire who seems to be consistently putting his own interests, and those of his elitist cronies, first The recent 10% hike in the military budget has me scratching my head, as well. Thank you for speaking your truth even in the midst of what seems a little group-thinky (no offense intended to anyone... we are all allowed our opinions and observations). I would like to be wrong as well.

    The buffalo had no interest in screwing the Indians, either .

    The "common street trick(s) of bribe and threat and lies" are part of what they are using, but from from all that they are using. The means and methods of deceipt and manipulation are many and entangled.

    Polarization is the word of the day. Just as the buffalo were whipped up into a stampede towards a cliff, we (in many nations, not in just the US) are being polarized six ways from Sunday against each other. This gets as many of us as practical operating out of our more primitive states of being, where we are more easily controlled.

    I make odds very low Trump voters would have had any discernible degree of reaction anywhere near the insanity seen since he won.
    All the above is all and only my opinion - all subject to change and not meant to be true for anyone else regardless of how I phrase it.

    Eight years ago, the US spent 4.6% of its GDP on military spending. Into this year that figure was down to 3.2% The military was raiding unflyable jets for parts that could make other unflyable jets fly. So a 10% hike does what? Raises the spending to GDP ratio up to 3.5%?

    This is all so true!! It's hard to believe that I initially joined this forum because of its Alternative Medicine and health threads as I have family members ill! once we started nearing the election and then Lo & Behold! trump is elected, I have Trumpitis. I can't seem to stop checking Turiya's and Cidersomerset's threads! I have little free time and I feel I'm losing my other interests because of Trumpitis! OMG, I'm so glad it's not just me, LOLLLLLL!!
