This is happening much more often as I get older.

If you can still remember which words you usually misspell ... you're still a young'in.

I rote to Dennis privately a couple of days ago and told him he had been 100% right.

100% right about what? Your lunchbox, sociopath de jour, or unicorn urine?

---------------------------------------------

Most obviously True for Trump as far as I can tell - #2 , 4, 7, 20

1. Much of the world has this to a degree. So many undeveloped people who cant even perceive from another's shoes.

3. Yes, but there is much evidence of him doing kind acts for strangers and being well liked in celebrity circles. I doubt its all fake.

5. Not so much
6. NO
8. Im sure to some degree, but not always.
9. He is a typical blunt New yorker, not sure how much of a hot head he was back in the day.
10 & 11. Hard to know these things from afar, but doesnt seem to have these to a sociopathic degree.
12. NO
13. I suppose, but factoring in the arrogance of power and New Yorker thing, not sure its sociopathic degree.
14. Sure, but this is rampant for people of power are most of them sociopaths?
15. Lots of men are heady and tough guys. Isnt this common.
16. We are gemini's, We need a lot of stimulating and excitement too Not sure he needs risky danger.
17. No, his lying is very strategic. Unnecessary lying is stupid.
18. Not sure, but I do think his kids love him , so i dont think its an extreme case. Being busy and famous could mean having a million superficial relationships but few to no deep ones.
19. Maybe as much as powerful people do, but i dont see anything crazy here.



I don't know. I think power, fame etc. tends to make people more socio/pyschopathic, but its hard to tell who is truly that if being in that environment, where some degree of sociopathy is the norm. And im no shrink to make diagnoses.

Can we look at harmful actions as prez? Problem is that I dont know the kinds of stresses, threats and powers leaders are up against. Like black magicians, ET's and interdimensional A-holes. I think of it like the TV series "Colony". ETs arrive and drop down walls around LA and enslave the residents. Then hire those in power to fill ranks and keep the slaves in check.

A good person could accept one of those jobs to selfishly make their life easier. And during their term they do some horrible things to the people, because they are overwhelmed by powers above them. Meanwhile, some of them are doing what they can to resist or throw monkey wrenches to try and overthrow those in power.

Not making excuses for Trump or pretending to know he intends good. But Reagan seemed like an overall kinder and well mannered person than Trump, yet he did essentially nothing to the overall momentum of these hidden powers and their ways.
He got shot at as well and seemed to have made small attempts to resist them. I dont know the history of 1980-1988 well, but were any of his actions as prez very harmful, so i can label him a sociopath, cuz no good person would have let it happen?

Anyone who thinks the change toward better ways is going to be some leader going in there and doing 100% loving acts is just impossible. Its frustrating but I can't condemn a leader from individual bad actions, since I dont know how controlled leaders are and impossible their situation. And that makes us look like we are making excuses for someone with bad intent. Yet, its equally annoying to jump on every bad actions as proof that a leader is a bad actor. Unfortunately, it'll likely take years for us to know.

It seems clear to me that not only does power corrupt, but that even those who start out working with good intentions and ideals in the present System either become corrupted or more or less ineffective.
The whole design is flawed and until humanity evolves enough to create a good one, or perhaps a new one is designed and implemented and taught to humanity by a more highly evolved and experienced race, that will continue to be the case.
(Or would that be breaking the policy of "non-interference"?)
What seems to be the present System (at least on paper) is a deception, and not what is really controlling the planet, while it should be very obvious by now that those who seem to be leaders are not really the ones holding the strings.
Was the present System actually designed by a regressive ET race that has been operating it from behind the scenes all along as Archons, inhabiting human bodies but only appearing to be human, implementing a System that was never in the best interests of humanity or the planet itself?
It's curious how this forum has so many subjects of discussion compartmentalized, and though it ventures into subjects like Ufology, ET Contact and "the Unexplained", there's not very much integration of those kinds of subjects with subjects like News and Current Events.
There is more integration in the Conspiracy Research threads, but so much of the time any real crossover is sort of isolated like a virus, ridiculed or just ignored.
It's like disengaged multiple personalities in an individual that are unable to communicate to each other, only on the scale of a whole community.
The discussions go around and around in circles, but generally agreed upon conclusions are rare and take a very long time in coming, if ever, and then very often it just starts all over again from the beginning.
I think some kind of new life needs to be injected before the forum gets bogged down again with a bunch of shills/disinfo agents, which seems to be the repeating pattern.
Or is it just an ongoing, self-perpetuating "process", like the current System?

Onawah, what you are describing is also part of the control grid.

We are continually called upon to make decisions based on incomplete, missing and often erroneous data. Each person has to contend with their own demons and this dynamic skews any possible consensus towards dysfunctional conclusions. Then there is the problem of polarizing topics designed to, well, polarize. We are broken into small splinter groups, each group weighing data with conflicting emphasis depending on their affiliations.

In the end we are left with our own counsel, and like the lawyer who defends themselves in court, we have a fool for a client.

Since we have little to no effect on the outcome of many global or even often local affairs, it is surprising how engaged many of us still are, with more coming on board every day.

And as the world veers further and further afield of any sort of sane and peaceful co-existence, and while the authorities attempt to convince us of one falsehood after another, the resulting chaos separates us even more from our cohorts and peers.

The system is designed to create this division and no amount of mental contortions or data or even proof will disturb the trend towards dystopia.

These are mid-level arguments, however.

They try and make sense of the world from within the system. As if the answer can be found by reduction - just remove the obvious lie(s). But the entire thing is part of the control grid, including the mental gymnastics.

Given things as they are, as we think we know them to be, there is no escape.

But if you understand the basis of the overarching issue, which is the actual topical (gestalt-encompassing) question, the answer comes clearly into focus.


It is a question of energy. It has always been so. And the one with access to the greatest amount of energy is the winner, and gets to choose the game.

Even with our nuclear bombs, we are not even close to that superiority.

With energy comes control, if that is the game that is chosen.
Abundance of energy leads to increasing technological advancement.

Technology is magic to the un-initiated.


The control grid is a technological structure, not only an informational and monetary one. It is invisible to us because it is so far advanced that we cannot recognize its existence.

Some claim it's the extra-terrestrials.
Some say it's the Illuminati.
Some believe it is God.

Some one has access to unlimited power and is using it to control this world.
The jury is still out on whether it is for good or for ill.

And that's well said and an excellent point as well. I remember reading in a few places how the technological advances "Trumped" the spiritual progress in Atlantis and led to its inevitable demise. It does oddly feel like a race between the spiritual and the technological at the moment. A new study from MIT shows ChatGPT use linked to mental decline. Go figure. Makes sense since you're not using your own mental faculties anymore, hence the decline.

There is certainly no lack of cognitive dissonance now, a term which keeps popping up more and more.
I've found it very interesting that in psychic Gigi Young's talks, she has been referring frequently to the idea (which I think she is referencing from Theosophical or Anthroposophical work as she is well grounded in those schools of thought) that in Ages when the Masculine principle is predominant, the danger is that technology will run amuck and destroy civilization as it apparently did in Atlantis.
Whereas when the Feminine principle is predominant (which may actually seem like an impossibility at this point in our dangerously technologically advanced era) Nature is valued above all else, and presumably the danger is that little technological progress can be made.
(See: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=gigi+young )
Hopefully the next Age will finally reach an amenable balance of both, where cooperation and competition can work together, and safety will be a prerequisite for all technology.

[Merkaba360]

Onawah:
Sounds like Gigi is saying the Native Americans were a bunch of girls

Putting all importance on nature outside themselves and not finding their full capabilities within. Then the men showed up and of course dominated by force and intellectual innovation/ingenuity.

They did some parts of life very well, for many millenia, but not much motivation to change? Then the competition came along. Was that a kind of karma. Sit still and live the same way over and over until power comes and forces you to change.

Ernie: Im also pondering another part of 'divide' without the conquer. Is there a fork in the evolutionary road . graduation from this level of "choice". Would make sense for us to all choose a path. Then, is there a natural divide thats supposed to happen?

It reminds me of homeless mentally ill or whatever. that's a huge divide that I dont know how to deal with? Am I supposed to get close to those people and try to unite while risking getting stabbed or some horror movie occurring from their delusions? I dont know how to deal with such lost people. Maybe if I was more powerful such a task would be easier.

In a similar way there are people with some seriously delusional belief systems that are light years from my views. Is it bad I dont really want to have anything to do with these people. I could have some casual short interactions. But bonding long term with them would cause all kinds of problems. We are separated by a vast distance of consciousness. Is that leading us to different worlds, is that division ok?

I dont know if the whole world is supposed to come together as the delusion lifts or are we being sorted and drifting away from those going down the other forked path.

[Ernie Nemeth]

Merkaba, I do not believe in evolution, only natural selection and adaptation.

The ones you talk of, for the most part, are screaming for help and love. How can you not feel for their plight?
At the height of my spiritual transformation I did just what you say would be hard for yourself.
I saved my wife from exactly that life - there, the secret is out.

The price I paid? I lost everything in the years that followed attempting to keep her out of trouble. I lost my family, my friends, my career, my money. But I saved her life and she changed her habits and broke free of her addictions. She changed so radically that she even joined the Catholic church and received all the sacraments before she passed.
Over the years I wondered why do I do it? But the answer was always, I love her unconditionally.
I couldn't imagine life without her.
And now here I am, without her...

I do not regret my choice. It feels like the most authentic thing I've done with this life.
I miss her so much.

Wow! What an outstanding first post Dennis. As for the political ultra right forum tendencies, I cannot agree more.

No discussion allowed when it is related to Trump. Complete brain washing of many to a fanatic level. No real intelligent critical thinking regarding Trump and his oligarchs. It is about banned on this forum.

The guy and his family have made billions personnally on our back within 5 month and I still hear lets wait and see

He destroyed the US in 5 months!! Nobody in the world want to trust the US anymore. You do not have the real news, it is more controled than ever.

By the way, Elon Musk finally got his black eye, have you noticed.

As for Trump, my real life specialty is Cluster B personnalities as described in DSM-5. I write on the topic and train corporate managers to handle the bastards.

Trump ticks absolutely all the cases of psychopathy with a thread of comorbidity huge vengeful pervert narcissism too.

USA is heading straight towards dictatorship head first with a 105 IQ, at the most, president.

And Lunaflore, Dennis post does not divide, it is an alarm bell. And no it is not fashion to hate the US. This is thinking based on ignorance. Nobody worlwide wants what is happening in and to the US. The senile Biden and the more corrupt and way less intelligent Trump. Wake up America.

The consequences are felt worldwide, right now, and US is soon to follow.

F.. read about Germany in 1930-32, read read read history. America do not remain ignorant. Read about Staline! Read!

Hi Flash. Absolutely! Every word.

Americans who approach immigrants with the philosophy that they should just stay home, not try to escape to other countries, ignore the reality that it is US backed war that pushes these people out of their own countries to begin with. And if they don't like that reality, and think it's become merely "fashionable" to question the US, too bad! Logic is always fashionable.

I am sick to death of ignoramuses who never read outside of their tiny social media sphere. Do they ever read a book, magazine article even on the subjects they hold forth about? They've become neo-Nazis. They should just come out and flatly declare, "I only like people who are like me, culturally and preferably white."

Trump is most definitely a sociopath. He's played to the worst impulses of those under a lot of work and personal pressure who have to live in what has become a hideous country.

[onawah]

I have no idea what you are referring to re Gigi and Native Americans. Please elucidate.
It's tragic how much has been covered up about how spiritually advanced many Native Americans were, particularly the shamans.
I know I have had past lives as a Native American, and every time I have been present during a Native American ritual, waves of nostalgia wash over me and tears flood my eyes for the loss of that precious connection with Nature that so few Americans have today.
I think it's very similar to how Taoism has been sidelined, and other very esoteric, Nature-connected traditions that have been paths through which humankind has discovered their Oneness and connection directly to the ALL.
That kind of Experiencing will never come through technology or space travel.

Actually, most people do prefer to be around people in their own culture and color, including all those immigrants you speak of. There are very basic reasons for this that don't involve racism or Nazism, but you're far too emotional and ideologically addled to acknowledge them. And that's your main problem - you can't conceive of a world in which people who prefer these things are anything other than Nazis, racists, or xenophobes. You're looking at the world thru a straw, and you imagine you're clever.

Show me the culture that wants to be supplanted by another culture! Where are these mystery cultures? Trot them out!

Everyone here can point to someone they know from another culture or race and say, so and so is a fantastic guy or gal, I don't care if they're Muslim or whatever. I can too. Most people are fundamentally good. Personal relationships like that can thrive, but Muslim immigration- at scale - does not work. Their culture is just fundamentally different. You're being dishonest if you don't acknowledge that, and you know that.

Diversity is not a strength; the entire world is a testimony to that! That's why there's so much damn conflict. Unity is the priority all countries should have, not diversity. That doesn't mean there can't be some cultural mix, but not so much that it waters down the dominant culture's values. That's not racism or Nazism, it's just basic common sense and an instinct for preservation.

[AutumnW]

My post was about those who complain about immigrants forced to flee war torn wastelands. Wars that the US often starts.


Muslims are not taking over your country.

[AutumnW]

Found this. Germaine to our back and forth, Mike.

https://www.pewresearch.org/religion...lim-americans/

And, I agree with you that there are all kinds of problems with rapid immigration and diversity isn't necessarily a strength. It depends on the situation, the economy, job market, educational opportunities, etc...

I'd like to know if you've had any bad situations with Muslim neighbours? Or is it something you have heard about but not experienced.

Also, as far as who I'd like as a next door neighbor? I don't want anyone of any radical form of Abrahamic religion living next door to me. And I'd prefer not to have the toxically positive spiritual types either, to be honest.

If I were them I would try and do the same exact thing. I understand and empathize with it. But you just can't let people in willy-nilly, even if you're of the belief that we somehow owe them because of our wars. If making amends involves destroying your own country, I'm gonna have to pass on that.

But most are not fleeing war torn countries. Most are just seeking out a better life, or have other (sometimes sinister) motivations. The Chinese nationals coming to the U.S. aren't leaving a war torn country. Nor are the Mexicans or Indians. And those are the top 3 countries of origin for immigration to the U.S. (according to A.I. anyway).

You're right, Muslims are not invading the U.S. I already acknowledged that! I thank Trump for that and all his wonderful work on the southern border. If that's sociopathic leadership, give me more of that!

It's the rest of the world who are being flooded with Muslim immigrants. To answer your question, I've never had any issues with Muslim people personally. None that I can remember anyway.

Before I say anything else, you know I have great affection for you, and I hope we can chat moving forward without too much tension I know we're gonna cross swords, but I value you as a friend. Sorry for any aggression on my part

Moving on...
My first exposure to unchecked immigration was my 2 years spent in California. The Spanish language is lovely and beautifully cadenced, but by the time I left California I decided I'd be a happy man if I never had to hear another Spanish word for the rest of my life LOL. It was all novel and great at first, don't get me wrong. I loved exploring this new culture and the all the great food, and then I realized about 2 months in that Mexican cuisine is just one long variation of the taco. Whether it's a burrito, a wrap, a quesadilla, or enchilada...it's really just a taco in a different form. I got sick of it. I wanted burgers and pizza again. I'm American, what can I say?

I never had any issues with the Mexican people; I had more issues with the white people actually. That was just as much of a culture shock coming from the east coast. The straight brim hat, Volcom t-shirt wearing, heavily tattoo'd white guys...I can't relate to them at all. But they were actually the minority, along with me. And over time I found it tiresome, I'll admit. Does that make me racist? I hope not. I didn't hate the Mexicans or feel superior; I didn't want to toss them in camps or anything or wipe them off the earth. I hung out with them and drank their beer and ate their food and had good times. It was just a different culture, and over time it wore me out. And I grew to resent it a little, because after all this is the U.S., not Mexico, and I wouldn't dream of moving to Mexico and trying to set up a USA 2.0 there, just out of basic respect.

[Raskolnikov]

I honestly have to agree with you both. AutumnW, I think you're spot on about how America has created a lot of this immigration problem, here I speak of foreign entanglements ala the CIA funded by the military complex weapons manufacturing dollars, a means to an end perhaps? Really akin to the pharma scam - the sick make paying customers vs. enemies are big business. And yet the other side of that immigration coin lands in Mike's favor - Biden flew in countless sleeper cell military men, not to mention allowed a lot of those angry that the US bombed their brother or mother or entire village. We see what this can do in other countries like Ireland, France, the UK, Sweden... This is a definite threat and we have no idea where they are or how many. But let's get to the point:

How you gonna dis the taco? To be fair, I rarely ever ate tacos, but grew up in socal absolutely loving ALL the rest. And still do. My god man, we had a Mexican restaurant at 15 years of age that would serve us pitchers of beer and a breakfast special of rice, beans, eggs and flour or corn tortillas with all the chips and salsa you could eat for $1.75. Do you know how absolutely golden that is to a group of teenagers? We felt like kings, the irony runs deep. God bless the Mexicans. I actually grew up down there in a heavily hispanic neighborhood, all good till puberty hit, then the gang element came into play and things changed quickly, and yes, races kept to themselves. It was very odd at 13 watching good friends that I'd gone through grade school with suddenly riding around in low rider cars and completely ignoring you when you tried to say hi. But honestly, that's just testosterone and being a teenager, like the greasers and socs in "The Outsiders," kids just form social groups and I never held it against them. And I don't think pizza is actually American btw. Alright, seeing this is all of central importance to this thread, I just thought I'd air my opinion on the matter. Long live the taco!

The word "evolution" comes from the Latin "evolutio," meaning "unrolling like a scroll". It was initially used to describe the opening or unfolding of something, like a rolled-up document.

Before Darwin, the word "evolve" generally meant a process of unfolding, development, or growth, often in a pre-determined way. It was used in various fields like medicine, mathematics, and general language to describe a process of opening, revealing, or developing from a simpler to a more complex state. In the context of biology, it was primarily used in embryology to describe the development of an individual organism from a seed or embryo.

Im guessing u mean darwinian evolution? Cuz evolve/evolution has nothing to do with Darwin and they must say "darwinian evolution" if thats what they mean, cuz they can't hijack the word evolution (unfolding process of change)

Not sure how you are interpreting that i dont feel for others plight. Saving your wife is WAY different then trying to save a dangerous mentally ill homeless person. Its similar to trying to save a true psychopath, the experts agree that we have no means to fix that at this time. We need more energy tech to balance the chakras and remove the filters of delusion or something. Mushrooms is probably the best chance we got for that as far as i know.

Glad to hear you won that battle. A great accomplishment indeed.

Don Juan Matus said something like , 'only a formless being can see whats what.' In other words you need to "lose your human form" in order to discern which hobo needs help and which needs to continue to learn the hard way. Perhaps our intuition can sometimes guide us non-formless to make the right choice, but sometimes it probably folly and our ego choosing.

Our ignorance often wants others to be like us. So good people generally want to help the homeless. Since I dont have the power of clear seeing yet, of course I usually would err on the side of helping.

But in my post im more referring to the fact that some are beyond help and some dont want it and look to be heading another path and choose to stay in the level of ignorance.

Im just pointing out that all division we are seeing may not be "divide and conquer". Some are seeing that "evolution" is naturally creating a split. And thus, maybe some divide is more of sorting consciousness out.

Spending decades wanting to "wake people up", i've learned to help what i call 'borderline people'. People who show some signs of being ready to start breaking out of the matrix. Any attempts ive made on people who are far from ready was complete folly on my part.

I honestly have to agree with you both. AutumnW, I think you're spot on about how America has created a lot of this immigration problem, here I speak of foreign entanglements ala the CIA funded by the military complex weapons manufacturing dollars, a means to an end perhaps? Really akin to the pharma scam - the sick make paying customers vs. enemies are big business. And yet the other side of that immigration coin lands in Mike's favor - Biden flew in countless sleeper cell military men, not to mention allowed a lot of those angry that the US bombed their brother or mother or entire village. We see what this can do in other countries like Ireland, France, the UK, Sweden... This is a definite threat and we have no idea where they are or how many. But let's get to the point:

Moving on...
My first exposure to unchecked immigration was my 2 years spent in California. The Spanish language is lovely and beautifully cadenced, but by the time I left California I decided I'd be a happy man if I never had to hear another Spanish word for the rest of my life LOL. It was all novel and great at first, don't get me wrong. I loved exploring this new culture and the all the great food, and then I realized about 2 months in that Mexican cuisine is just one long variation of the taco. Whether it's a burrito, a wrap, a quesadilla, or enchilada...it's really just a taco in a different form. I got sick of it. I wanted burgers and pizza again. I'm American, what can I say?

I never had any issues with the Mexican people; I had more issues with the white people actually. That was just as much of a culture shock coming from the east coast. The straight brim hat, Volcom t-shirt wearing, heavily tattoo'd white guys...I can't relate to them at all. But they were actually the minority, along with me. And over time I found it tiresome, I'll admit. Does that make me racist? I hope not. I didn't hate the Mexicans or feel superior; I didn't want to toss them in camps or anything or wipe them off the earth. I hung out with them and drank their beer and ate their food and had good times. It was just a different culture, and over time it wore me out. And I grew to resent it a little, because after all this is the U.S., not Mexico, and I wouldn't dream of moving to Mexico and trying to set up a USA 2.0 there, just out of basic respect.

How you gonna dis the taco? To be fair, I rarely ever ate tacos, but grew up in socal absolutely loving ALL the rest. And still do. My god man, we had a Mexican restaurant at 15 years of age that would serve us pitchers of beer and a breakfast special of rice, beans, eggs and flour or corn tortillas with all the chips and salsa you could eat for $1.75. Do you know how absolutely golden that is to a group of teenagers? We felt like kings, the irony runs deep. God bless the Mexicans. I actually grew up down there in a heavily hispanic neighborhood, all good till puberty hit, then the gang element came into play and things changed quickly, and yes, races kept to themselves. It was very odd at 13 watching good friends that I'd gone through grade school with suddenly riding around in low rider cars and completely ignoring you when you tried to say hi. But honestly, that's just testosterone and being a teenager, like the greasers and socs in "The Outsiders," kids just form social groups and I never held it against them. And I don't think pizza is actually American btw. Alright, seeing this is all of central importance to this thread, I just thought I'd air my opinion on the matter. Long live the taco!

Oh dude, long live the taco! I'm with ya there. And long live the burrito, enchilada, and quesadilla too while we're at it. I just ate a quesadilla about an hour ago. Tijuana Flats..decent place.

I like all those things. I just got sick of them while living in California all those years ago.

Ever been to Disney World? They have some area there, something like 'Eat Around The World' or something like this, where you can sample culinary delights (and sometimes disasters) from around the world. It's very cool. But maybe the best part about it is that you can walk out and be in America again and eat all the stuff you're used to. In other words, you're not stuck there. And I felt stuck in California. At the end of my time there it felt suffocating. Not just because of the food obviously; the food was just kind of a metaphor for the entire culture.

Florida is kind of like California lite. Maybe it's because I'm so tan, but people will approach me and begin speaking Spanish, which was kind of amusing at first. But that's kind of par for the course. You go anywhere - a gym, grocery store, work, you name it - and people everywhere are jabbering away in Spanish. I don't think it's a good thing. And it's not because I dislike the Spanish language or because I dislike the Mexican culture, but because I like the English language and the American culture more, and I believe it should be dominant everywhere (in America).

A country isn't a country at all without 4 vital elements:

1) shared values
2) agreed upon laws
3) a shared language
4) borders

If I were king, one of the first things I'd do is rip all the Spanish signage down..from traffic signs to grocery store signs to safety notices etc. I'd even outlaw Spanish instructions for technical gadgets or whatever. And then I'd implement a fine for anyone speaking Spanish in public (no I wouldn't ).. but I'm serious about the signage. Not to be an asshole, but to encourage assimilation. If people aren't forced out of their comfort zones, most of the time they ain't leaving em. Me included.

The very first thing anyone should do when immigrating to another country is learn the language there, and use it. From a practical standpoint of course, but maybe just as important a respect standpoint. That's just showing a baseline level of respect for the people there.
