When Heroes Fall


The standard wallpaper on my main computer is usually a beautiful high resolution artists rendition of our milky way galaxy as one would see it from an approaching starship.  I keep it there to help me keep my perspective if not wits about me in this darkening and fast paced world.  It's been working overtime this last week.

Along with the usual circus of the presidential election year we have a real pair to draw to this time and they raise the crazy bar on a daily basis.  While Clinton is on her deathbed according to some sites, we have Trump openly suggesting that some of the "second amendment people" make sure she doesn't recover.  Once again; the 'law & order candidate' is clearly advocating even more violence.  This time against his opponent. 

~Hero Worship~
We all have our heroes.  Actually most of us have a running collection of them from early childhood that we just add to as we navigate life.  Not just anybody can qualify as a hero, and of course everyone has their own standards & criteria for that.  The point here is that those standards and criteria are elevated enough to where mere mortals need not apply.  We choose our heroes because they epitomize the highest degree of excellence in mind, body or spirit.  Our lives are so overly regimented and structured that we find it necessary to maybe have a few heroes from different walks of life to inspire us towards greatness.
We all have to make our way in this world somehow.  For most it boils down to a 40 hour work week plus overtime.  Others elect to pick a profession and attempt to excel at it.  Some make that profession by entertaining the rest of us in various ways, others by being in service to others.  Some become professional stage magicians who amaze us with their powers of illusion while others become professional deceivers, like lawyers, politicians and pedophiles.  And that's OK, we accept that life is far from perfect and that some decidedly dark shit is always going down somewhere: That's why we have heroes.

When we drag ourselves home from that 40+ hour work week and it's time to relax; our heroes usually aren't far from reach.  Music from our favorite musician washes away the accumulated stress, and whether it's winning the super bowl or getting 22 olympic gold medals, we love watching our heroes win, lose or draw.  The only time we don't want to watch our heroes; is when they fall.  First comes the shock of breaking news that one of our culture heroes is just human after all.  After that comes that empty-twisted gut-wrenching feeling that once again we've been taken in by charm and a smile.

~The Shattering of Trust~
Bill Cosby, endearing us with illusion while drugging and raping scores of women over many years time behind closed doors.  Who didn't adore him as Dr. Huxtable?
If only we'd known. 
He fooled everybody, especially his victims!
Jimmy Savile was a beloved and famous British DJ, promoter and Television entertainer who after his death became known as perhaps Britain's most prolific sexual predator.  Some red flags were seen when he was still alive, but guess what, swept under the rug of collective unconscious because he was popular and we didn't want to know. 
Actor Stephen Collins, comedian Paula Poundstone, Roman Polanski, Gary Glitter, and even Peter Yarrow, (Peter, Paul & Mary).  All child molesters.

Producer Victor Salva, who gave us "Powder" and both "Jeepers Creepers" films; also
 a convicted child molester. 
Not to overlook what must be one of the worst offenders: Musician Ian Watkins, popular front man for the band Lostprophets was arrested in 2012 for, quote; "conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a 1 year old girl."  Ultimately Watkins confessed to 13 such depraved offenses 
over a span of 5 years, with multiple victims.
Politicians like Mark Foley, and Dennis Hastert were serial child molesters.  Both in positions of government authority, trust and respect; both pedophile predators, both lost their positions in shameful disgrace.  Mark Foley surfaced again recently, sitting front ringside at a Donald Trump event.  Draw your own conclusions as to why Trump attracts child molesters.

Next, for perhaps the lowest and worst of the pedophile predators we have to look no further than the clergy.  Catholics predominantly, but certainly all other religious denominations, sects and churches also are infiltrated by these cowardly demons who only prey on the young, weak & vulnerable.  It's nothing short of an outrage that the head of the catholic church always protects his priests from prosecution even as he admits there is a problem.  It's a problem our best reaction to so far is
 ignoring it and sending in more boys to be molested.
You see, the thing here is really simple.  The vast majority of pedophile predators admit they were themselves molested in childhood.  Many are in cults or cult like extended families where children are routinely sexually molested and abused.  They're then conditioned & brainwashed into believing such behavior is normal, so little wonder they go on to a life of sexually predating on our children.  Because it's such a distasteful subject we tend to ignore it, not discuss it, but most of all we DO next to nothing to stop this vicious cycle of abuse.  Whenever another pedophile story hits the news everyone wrings their hands in dismay and wails in unison that this must end; yet it never does.

Vatican paid 4 billion settling child molestation lawsuits

The thing about pedophile predators is that they tend to be like the energizer bunny; they just keep going, and going - until they are stopped.  Even when locked up many have said they would offend again if released.  The only way to stop them IS to lock them up.  There is no such thing as pedophile rehabilitation.  You cannot rehabilitate predators.  These deviant sociopaths as we've seen, come from every profession, every religion and every station in life.  They are, in fact, everywhere.

So now today a few million people are feeling that kicked in the gut and shat upon feeling with the emerging expose, and admission that Zen Gardner spent nearly three decades working his way into a leadership position of a child abuse cult. Not only that, but his primary job was that of media chief; in charge of public relations, "image management" and press releases.   Followers and fans of his across the planet are collectively dealing with the sense of loss, anger and betrayal over these revelations.  Some of them are going to be needing some serious help considering he is running an online cult.  Some of his followers even now are in full-on denial, spouting every excuse in the book.  Yeah some of them are gonna need some real help, so let's remember to be gentile with them, OK?
We all need to remember here that when it comes to Zen Gardner, he did not willingly post his "missing years" mea culpa confession.  He was given an ultimatum by a peer professional; to come clean and admit the fullness of his involvement in that child abuse cult~ or it'd be done for him.  
So the artful dodger brushed off his image management tools and offered up 
a severely diluted version which painted himself as one of the victims.
Of the many questions I want answered, the foremost on my mind is this:
Zen's entire family was there in the Children of God cult, including his children of course.  When his children were taken to be housed, raised, abused & brainwashed separately, away for 6 months at a time; What actions did "Zen Gardner" take to defend and protect his children?  He may well deny knowing what was happening to his kids, but I do not, cannot believe him.  Not a single word of it, because I have seen his propensity for warping the truth to suit his desires.

OK, here's another pretty good question. 
 According to records & documentation; the cult leader "Moses" Berg died in 1994.  Why did "Zen Gardner" remain a leader in the cult for 5 additional years?  Just exactly what was he doing?  Why didn't he take that golden opportunity to get his family to safety?  I'm only curious because as you may recall; it was after their leader died everyone said the cult descended into even deeper depths of depravity.  Who was at the helm from 1994 to 1999?  Inquiring minds want to know!

A reader sent me her comment which was repeatedly blocked from Zen's site:

How about this comment on Zen's site & his reply:

Then there is this as well:

These questions and many others cannot just be brushed aside with some twisted, convoluted Zen wisdom laced with flowery new age rhetoric about the power of forgiveness.  Hell No, not this time.  He seems entrenched like Hitler in his bunker, because his very next post following his 'Mea Culpa' confession was entitled "All the world is a cult."  As if  just saying those words was some kind of Harry Potter spell to get out of deep shit.  Actually Don, the world is a toilet, not a cult.  A cult is what you created with your website: Take it Down!  A whole lot of very good people have put a handful of questions to you, and we all deserve YOUR answers to all of them.
If Zen Gardner will not voluntarily come clean about the complete total truth of his involvement, we cannot force him to.  However there IS something we CAN do to get deeper into the truth of the matter, and that is by utilizing the technology known as Reverse Speech.  Any recording of him speaking will do nicely.  Certainly there must be some David Oates trained technicians out there who are up to the task.  How about it folks?  Any takers?  No matter how slick this artful dodger is he cannot control his unconscious speech reversals.  I'll bet there are some juicy little insights to Zen Gardner's mind just waiting to be discovered.

"Without the truth from Reverse Speech the planet has no future, it opens that door for all of us"
                                                                                                 ~Jeff Rense~


Zen Gardner is far from the first predator to wear the guise of spiritual teacher and Guru: and sad to say he likely as not will be far from the last of such charlatans.  Ever hear of this fellow Marc Gafni?   He's yet another spiritual guru, teacher and self-help leader with a 20 year wake of child molestation and sexual predation behind him.  You may know him by another name, he uses five different ones, but again the eyes tell all you need to know.
Marc Gafni continues to this day with his charade of being a spiritual guru to attract his next unsuspecting victims.  Perhaps the judicious application of Reverse Speech is called for with this slime devil as well.  We have this technology, do we have any impartial technicians out there looking to make a name for yourself in the right way?  Here you go!

Or are we going to continue pretending nothing is wrong with our society and do nothing?  So much filth has now been swept under the rug we need motorized transportation to get across the room.  Time to clean house folks.  How many more young lives must be ruined?  How many more generations must we endure this never-ending nightmare cycle of abuse.  Can't we figure out a way to break the chain reaction of abused becoming the abuser? 

~Wetiko~
The native American peoples had a term by which to recognize a type of malaise that would befall entire populations.  This disharmony was known as a kind of collective spiritual blindness~ they called it Wetiko, which translates from the Cree language as "Cannibal."  [We call it greed]~ A Wetiko was one who consumes other humans for profit; and was seen by all north American tribes as a serious psychological malfunction afflicting the white race.  Contemporary experts address the same exact condition affecting entire populations around the planet; and they call it "Malignant Egophrenia."  It is the untrained ego run amok, locked in a feeding frenzy of self aggrandizement.  Each person unconsciously competing with everyone else to get all they can in a world of diminishing resources and escalating wars.

The wetiko were the greed crazed "49ers" who flooded the freshly discovered California gold fields.  They killed more than one hundred thousand native Americans because they were living where the gold was, & the wetiko wanted it, so they took it.  They also often took the native women and young girls for prostitution, and trade with slavers. 

The wetiko is also earth's population of pedophile predators, flesh peddlers & the black market for white slaves.  Consuming other humans for fun and profit.  Tell me again, why is it we allow such things to even exist on this gem of a planet~ oh yeah, that's right, we let the psychopaths run everything, and they protect their own first and foremost.  Family values and all that!  Did you ever stop and wonder if just maybe all of us decent, moral folks are just their livestock, to be used & slaughtered at whim?  I think I'm starting to finally understand why humans love vampires.

"Earth, what a beautiful planet, it's a shame about the people"
                                                                              ~Stuart Wilde~

When our own personal heroes fall in public shame & disgrace because of human frailty we take it hard.  Yes, we take it very hard indeed when we discover most or all of what we believed about someone was just a commercial front, to enhance profits.  When we find that beneath the talent or grace we admired there was only a huckster all along.  We don't like being fooled, conned and lied to by anyone, ever: when our heroes do it to us it hurts especially hard.  We dislike that we can be so easily taken in, that we are so eager to believe that we forget due diligence, we forget to check credentials, or credit those feelings that something ain't quite right. 
When our spiritual heroes fall, they land on those of us who held them in high esteem, and it hurts.  The result is disillusion, disengagement, and spiritual disharmony.  We begin to doubt all spiritual leaders.  Our search for prophets so often leads us only to those who seek profits at our expense~ Wetiko.  When spiritual heroes fall we risk becoming jaded, our progress upon our spiritual path can stagnate resulting in us doubting ourselves as well as selfish, self proclaimed spiritual leaders. 

The toll all this ugly business takes on us is massive. Many of us have dealt with bouts of borderline physical illness after the Children of God revelations by Zen Gardner, as well as world class cognitive dissonance and that old kicked in the gut sensation that just won't go away.  The word I'm seeing a lot in chat rooms is Betrayal.  Those not brainwashed by his charisma are feeling repulsed, angry and just a little Godsmacked at the scale and darkness of the depravity revealed.

We now recognize that the Zen Gardner website "Just Wondering" is an elaborately deceptive CULT.  It's just as Simple as that!  The only question before us now as a spiritual community is if we are going to continue to allow this to continue.
I think we all know the answer: Shut It Down, Now!

What's Growing in Zens Garden?


One nice summer afternoon when I was about ten years old; my twelve year old sister and I were aimlessly killing time in our suburban backyard.  Dad was out getting the essentials for a backyard barbecue and mom was next door visiting with our neighbors.  Hearing an odd whistle we looked toward the gate to see it was the local paperboy, wanting our attention.  My sister walked over to talk to him, to see what he wanted.  I ignored them and kept playing with the dog.

Just a few minutes later I heard my sister scream loudly, and not a good scream either.
Dashing around the corner of the house I could see the paperboy attacking my sister, and ripping her clothes off as she desperately fought him off the best she could.  I understood all I needed to in that moment, and without thinking much about it I grabbed a stock of firewood off the woodpile and ran to help my sister.  So intent on his goal, the paperboy never saw my approach, or what hit him.  I smacked him as hard as I was able to with that piece of firewood, right up alongside his pervert head, laid him out like a wet sack on a slab.  Just then, the kid's luck ran out as our dad walked around the corner to see what all the commotion was about on this nice summer afternoon.  We didn't have to tell dad what happened, he could see for himself.  I'll never forget the look on that kid's face when he looked up to see my hulking father standing over him.

I was certain sure he was gonna kill that kid and bury the body under the woodpile, but he didn't.  In fact, he didn't even call the cops.  He knew this kid, and his parents, so for reasons I didn't understand then, and still don't; it was all hushed up, and nothing was ever done about it - like it never happened. 
But it did happen, it's happening still; every day around the world.  Whether its teachers having sexual relations with our children, or pedophile priests abusing & violating young boys with the tacit approval of the pope; child abuse in all of its ugly forms is rampant throughout this world and for the most part the subject is still being ignored and swept under the carpet, and I still don't understand why??

Perhaps the very worst form of pedophilia is when it is done under color of authority or assumed righteousness; such as with teachers, pastors and priests.  Those who hold themselves up to be admired and respected in positions of trust: who then prey upon our vulnerable, defenseless children are the very lowest and despicable form of the deviant pedophile.

"See the paid off bottom feeders
Passing themselves off as leaders"
                                                  ~Bruce Cockburn~

It was thru my morning emails the other day when I first read about what is now a breaking story across the alternative media world: Zen Gardner's admission that for nearly thirty years of his life he was one of the leaders of the child abuse cult known as Children of God, aka The Family, aka The Family International.  It's now been disclosed that Don Ferguson, aka "Zen Gardner" rose in the ranks of the cult being one of it's leaders, and their media chief in charge of "Image Management" and public relations, in other words, a professional liar as well as pedophile.
His job was to conceal the ongoing child abuse, and paint a rosy picture of the cult as wholesome.  It appears that he did such a good job he even forgot the depth of his own depravity because he now claims to have had no knowledge of the child abuse, and claims he himself is a victim.

 C'mon Don, that's just cowardly dude!  

You don't rise thru the ranks over 30 years to become one of the leaders without knowing exactly who was doing what to whom and when.  You don't become media chief in charge of image management unless you know the ugly truth being managed and are in fact totally complicit in it.  Your job was to hide the truth from the world, dress it up as something healthy & wholesome.  If you are now admitting you were there for all those years, fess up in full, it's good for the soul brother; and right about now I'd say your dark soul needs all the help it can get!

With a background in cult child abuse you'd be prone to think such a person would do his best to limit public exposure of any kind; but instead Don learned a few new age buzz words & catch phrases, maybe thumbed thru "Be Here Now" & turned himself into Zen Gardner.  Then went hunting on the internet's alternative media circuit with his so appropriately named website; Just Wondering?

I'll bet a whole lot of people are doing just exactly that right now, wondering WTF? 
It took me a little while to get my head around it the morning I first heard.  I'd just opened my email after pouring my first coffee of the day.  Still rubbing the sleep from my bleary eyes, despite what I read, my mind was seeing that Zen & family had been captured by some south American cult!  I guess that's how much I didn't want to believe it.  You see, almost four years ago now I was contemplating starting a blog, and was a somewhat frequent visitor to his site.  After I'd commented on a few articles here & there, Zen emailed me saying he liked my style.  When I told him I was thinking about writing a blog, he encouraged me to write something, and submit it.  He posted my first article, and many more afterwards; he sent my stuff to other editors, I got noticed because of Zen. We became friends.  In time I had to walk away from Zen, as I could no longer overlook his loose affiliation with the truth in a few matters; & now I wish I'd never heard his name because then I wouldn't have this ugly feeling about one who was once a friend. 

That happens a lot with this guy.  For a while there, a nice little cyber community seemed to hang out at Zen's site, and it was kinda fun.  Then gradually I noticed some old timers just dropping away into oblivion, even as new personas would crop up to exchange thoughts in the 'garden'.  I dropped away as well, so did a lot of others.  This one troll would show up real brash & bold, and funny at first.  Before long he started making comments that were beyond rude, they were sexist and possibly even racist in nature, and Zen encouraged him, they became buddies.  That's when I left, when I saw thru a crack in Zen's facade and caught just a glimpse of the man behind the keyboard.
The Zen Gardner franchise is little more than an online cult.  He has his favorite followers who adore him and keep his commercialized website active with mindless chatter.  It was a while after I cut ties with "Zen" that I began to notice that he never really writes anything new or significant.  Every post he 'writes' is just re-hashed variations on stuff he's already posted.  He moves the paragraphs around a bit, sticks in a different image or two, changes the title; and that's about it.  He churns out a steady concoction of pop-new-age-psycho-babble mixed with noble sounding but meaningless tripe.  Always running about yelling "Shark, Shark," but never gets his feet wet.  His tirades have no substance because it's all a front.   There's no "there" there.

He's not the top cheerleader for the age of Aquarius; he's a cyber pied piper preying on the recently awakened spiritual seekers hungry for knowledge and leadership; and he is abusing & exploiting them as certainly as he did those children of god all those years ago.  It kinda makes me wonder just exactly what Zen is growing in his garden?
Just wondering!
I spent a while reading thru 75 some odd comments following his "My missing years" post and as expected, all but one lone commenter only had words of love and forgiveness for their spiritual guru.  That says a couple of things.  Obviously Don is only posting the favorable comments from selected followers, with but a single dissenter.  Seems kinda suspicious.

 Beyond that however lies a much deeper truth about how cults work and perhaps reminds us that the word Fan derives from and is a shorter version of fanatic.  There was a very rambling comment from a woman who claimed to have been born into the COG cult which seemed to be her way of claiming impartial status or something, yet even she echoed the diluted admission that not every child was abused, and not every leader knew.  Brainwashing, simple as that.  Happens all the time.

 It happened to someone I love, so I know very well indeed just how twistedly convincing pedophiles can be in justifying their diddling deeds. They are masters of deception, like a chameleon; blending-in to seem part of the normal environment, so their prey never sees them for what they really are until it's too late.  Predators.
I don't care if the man walks on water or feeds the starving; doesn't erase what he did in his past, doesn't make up for or balance it out in any way.  As one of his adoring fans put it "Your karma is clean Zen".  Do you now see my point about the brainwashing?  I wonder how many of his avid followers spent a single hour researching the COG, looking for the complete truth.  The first few minutes was enough to turn my stomach; how much could an avid fan tolerate?  Probably not much would be my guess.
Child abuse is a stain on your soul that may just be permanent for all I know, but I'm reasonably sure that coddling comments from the brainwashed kool aide drinkers won't balance that kind of karma.  Almost a third of those 75 comments seemed to come from other cult abuse victims who totally understand and forgive.  I told you is was rampant all over the world!!  They have to live in their little bubble world of "it never happened" in order to function at any level day to day.  I suppose it is the only way they can keep a bit of sanity about them. 

Using their own words, those 74 readers with positive comments seemed to say with a sense of unison, that "what Zen has done for the spiritual community makes up for all those long years of committing child abuse, and covering it up."  Where do these people acquire their sense of values from?  I am all about the power of forgiveness as a tool for spiritual growth and development.  Forgiveness; as in a victim of child abuse may choose to embrace the vibration of forgiveness, is kinda up to the individual who was abused to hold any value or merit.  Forgiveness by brainwashed fans holds neither!  I'm just wondering how quick to forgive those fans would be if Zen sexually abused their children.  Would it be OK on account of how much Zen has done for the spiritual community online?  Or is it more a factor of time, as in it was all so long ago who cares?  I suspect that for every life he helped ruin, someone somewhere cares, damn it!
So, the story is out there now, Zen Gardner used to be a leader in a child abuse cult. It is simply never OK to sexually abuse children, ever, period.  Everyone knows this!  There are some who will attempt to convince us that pedophiles have an illness.  Bullshit! Pedophiles are sexual predators who prey on every child they are able to.  There is no rehabilitation or healing from that mindset because every one released from prison offends again.  Predators, simple as that. 

Do you know what happens when a child abuser gets tossed into prison?  They are pariahs who are subjected to random beatings around the clock by other inmates; and that's just for openers, it gets much worse.  I understand they get a vivid idea of how it feels to be helpless and abused in all the worst ways.  What goes around-comes around as they say.  Even societies worst criminals hate pedophiles, because they're predators, not just ill.  Pedophiles in prison are so outcast they often must be kept in solitary for their own protection.  I say they deserve NO protection, toss them all into gen-pop, then put it all on pay-per-view.  That includes Zen Gardner.  No sympathy for the devil here.  I sometimes catch flak for speaking my truth without filters, "it's just how I roll."  When it comes to those who prey upon children, the gloves come off, especially in Zen's case . 
As far as I am concerned "Zen Gardner" is a confessed child abuser, liar, a fraud, and a deceiver who re-invented himself as a star to take his lifelong predation global via the internet.  Zen Gardner, global predator.  Has kind of a ring to it.  If it were up to me I say he's lost his Earth privileges, and needs to be immediately put aboard a rocket and shot into the sun; then he'd really be a star!

At the very least he should scrub his site from the web and surrender to authorities!

Alas, that is unlikely to happen as the halls of power here and abroad are filled with sociopathic pedophiles &  no matter how much exposure the subject gets they almost always stay in power, nothing much ever happens to any of them.  The same exact crap with the clergy.  It's as if they're under some kind of protection.  See what we get for sweeping it under the rug for a couple generations; it becomes close enough to normal that people just don't seem to care; and if that isn't just a little spooky to you, I submit that you need a checkup from the neck up real soon!

Nothing Changes

Pick One!

Did you hear the one about the politician who died; went to limbo, and was given the chance of choosing between heaven & hell?  He would get to spend a week in each place before deciding where he'd spend eternity, and started off with heaven.  He found it comfortable, but boring, he felt alone because he didn't know anyone, and the music was weird.   When he began his trial week in hell the politician immediately ran into all his old friends, who were apparently having a permanent party.  Everyone was drinking, cavorting, and indulging every deviant whim.  There was a feast for kings, with every kind of food imaginable; and a new concert every night.

Seven days went by faster than the dead politician thought, and soon he was back in limbo, it was time to choose between heaven and hell.  Without a second thought the politician said he was ready to go re-join all his friends in hell; and so was transported back there instantly.  Everything he'd seen before was now gone, the landscape was bleak and burning, with starving rats gnawing at his heels.  There was no food to be seen and all his friends were burning in agony.  The politician cried out that this wasn't right, demanded to know what happened.  His guide calmly explained it to him; "Well sir you see, last week was the campaign, today you voted!"

So here we are with the convention hysteria behind us; bracing ourselves for the next 100 days  of psy-war-ops known as political ads hammering us whenever we dare go near any kind of media: topped off with the coronation of a new president.
What does it say about the current state of things that when  Michelle Obama spoke at the convention she was wearing body armor under her dress?  It was so obvious I almost mistook her for a Star Wars storm trooper.  What it says is that despite all security precautions in place, they weren't confident they could protect her.  I'm not saying she shouldn't wear body armor; I'm saying she shouldn't have to.  A sad reality; things aren't supposed to be this way.

Politicians are thieves by nature, they want something; they just take it.  An excellent example is how they steal music as background for their campaigns, ads, and ceremonies.  In nearly every instance they ignore copyright & royalties because they want a particular song.  Yeah, I can hear some of you saying that's pretty minor; but my point is if they do not respect personal intellectual property rights, it's a character flaw. Steal a little - steal a lot.  I am reasonably sure that some who get into politics are sincerely wanting to bring positive change and reform; it's just that the whole system is so corrupt it assimilates & corrupts everyone involved. It's like trying to swim without getting wet.

"I alone can fix it."
The story going around the media pundits is that Ohio governor John Kasich was approached by Trump to be his running mate; with Trump reportedly telling Kasich he could be in charge of foreign & domestic affairs. (The job of the president) When Kasich asked what Trump would be doing instead of foreign & domestic affairs, the answer was, "Making America Great Again."  Comments like that don't come from thinking people, they come from reading your script, playing your part.  The words of a puppet.
Trump is the big blunt instrument hammering us with fear & fakery.  For all his hype and vitriol, Trump simply has no substance.  He is a hate doll who spews out sound bites on cue whenever his string is pulled.  He's a human hot air balloon, er, make that Buffoon.  Have you really listened to him speak?  All he brings are short, easy to remember sound bites that have zero substance beyond fanning the flames of intolerance and racism.  He has no "platform" other than instigating hatred among Americans, driving us apart. 

Trump speaks with a distinctive cadence & rhythm that tends to put listeners into an Alpha state of consciousness, exactly the same as when watching TV or a movie.  This makes it so easy to then plant the seeds of hatred with his caustic remarks-plant them right in your head.  He appeals to a range of people who are disenfranchised citizens; and feeling abandoned by the government.  It's all just empty rhetoric.  He has no plan for this country except to exploit it financially like he does with everything he touches: he's playing a role, reading his lines.  A vacuous bag of bovine excrement!  

Everything about Trump (in his words) is always the biggest, the best, the most amazing.  The last time I heard bragging like that it was on the schoolyard, and the bragger was trying desperately to conceal his own incompetence and shit personality.  All that bluster & luster has to be hiding something.  You'll please notice that outside of his family, nobody else on the planet speaks that way about Trump.  How much money you have isn't as important as how you got it; and in Trump's case that means not paying the folks who work for you, then filing serial bankruptcy's to cheat the system.  Just another crook.


Not only does Trump openly admire Russian tough-guy leader Putin; he openly invites the Russians to continue hacking American computer systems!!  I am 100% certain that those words constitute a violation of the patriot act and likely even qualifies as treason yet you watch, he will suffer no consequence from his actions.  Just like he suffered no consequence for openly advocating genocide by taking out the families of terrorists.  Trump openly admires and compliments not only Putin, but Saddam Hussein as well.  North Korea's demented psychopathic leader "Un" thinks Trump is his kind of guy, and is probably in business with him.  If Trump's role models are these psychotic dictators, what kind of leader do you suppose he'd be?  Willing to risk it, are ya?

These issues never seem to come up in the daily "news cycle" because he is reading the script prepared for him.  The closer we get to the "selection" of president, the scarier he will become; sending 'voters' running for Hillary's protection.  Totally lacking in substance, Trump refuses to make his tax records public, invites Russia to cyber hack American citizens, and begs his followers not to watch Clinton's convention speech.  What is he so afraid of, that he would be seen for just what he is? 

"It takes a villain"
Hillary was well rewarded for standing aside in 2008, and told that 2016 would be her time.  Unfortunately her reputation and record are so bad; the only person out of a field of 17 she could maybe beat, is Trump! 

Hillary's convention spotlighted as many blacks and minorities as they could get to show up on stage - still pandering for votes.  Regardless of all image management efforts, let us not forget that Hillary's biggest backer is still Goldman Sachs, and that she recently evaded criminal charges by the skin of her teeth; I guess you could say that neither Hillary or Trump have any convictions.  Don't lose sight of the fact that according to recent polls, 62% of Americans distrust her.

 Remember Vince Foster long time Clinton friend, business associate and rumored to be Hillary's secret lover?  You remember, he had a falling out with the Clintons and then threatened to expose their criminal actions; then suddenly changed his mind and opted for suicide instead.  It is altogether chilling to realize that his name is just one of over 75 Clinton 'friends & associates' who died under mysterious circumstances.  How about that?

Now factor in that Chelsea Clinton & Ivanka Trump are close friends, as are their husbands.  The Clintons and Trumps have been friends for years, except for this year's staged street theater election process...and when it's all done they'll remain friends.  It's all a sham, a great shining lie; no more "real" than professional wrestling.  It's just more heft & hype.

Both Trump and Hillary picked unknown lackluster running mates who totally represent the 1% of powerful rich elites & their interests.  Absolute clones of Joe Biden!!  The only difference between them is that Pence is more open with his bigoted stupidity and racist views.  Both of them are as white as white can get.  Are there no minority politicians qualified to be vice president?  Just the same old stagnation with different white names & faces.  Nothing changes!
Doesn't it seem just cozy comfortable for the ruling elite that we only have the "two party system?"  Why not three or even four major parties?  The only thing multiple political parties would change is the elite's chances of staying in control of things.  Don't expect any kind of reform in your, or your children's lifetime; it simply won't be permitted.

The electoral college is the centerpiece of the 2-party system, the one which ensures that the people's voice isn't allowed to influence election outcomes.  Despite and aside from whoever gets the "popular vote" the electoral college is under no obligation to name that candidate as the new president.  The fix is always in, and I kinda believe we've always known that, and ignored it.  You can see how well that has worked out for us, right??

With these people it's always wedge issues, guns, race, gender identity, gay rights.  The goal is to drive us apart and against one another, hitting us at our weakest points. It's always the same thing just before every presidential election; they make a big stink over guns, which creates the fear that they'll come for our guns, resulting in ever-increasing gun sales.  Its always the same; politicians make all kinds of promises during the un-relenting campaign process, which are forgotten the moment a winner is declared.  Remember how Obama promised to close Gitmo?  It's still there isn't it?  Nothing changes. 

The strategy is to appeal to peoples emotions, their feelings; then they convince them their feelings are the same as facts.  Never has there ever been a more destructive example of false equivalency.  How you feel about any given subject is just that, a feeling.  Because you feel a certain way does not give your feeling the status of fact.  It's just a feeling.  You may want it to be fact, but that is just wishful thinking, not factual unless it happens to match the facts.

Because the greedy elite never leave anything to chance they also employ an array of anti-voter tactics & dirty tricks: like closing 75% of the polling locations in minority filled urban areas.  Like requiring voter ID cards which are difficult for some folks to obtain.  Like removing 80% of the voting machines in some precinct polling places, forcing urban voters to stand on line for hours just to vote; and of course the paperless Diebold electronic voting machines which anyone with a computer can hack.

"Politics" ~ Poli= many.  Tics= Blood sucking parasites

Not a single speaker at either convention mentioned the Fukushima dilemma, what with the death of the pacific ocean and dead sea life littering pacific beaches, you'd think it might have come up.  Nope, just fear mongering and name calling.  Not a single speaker at either convention mentioned fracking, or BP's lingering toxification of the gulf of Mexico.  None of them mentioned keeping our children safe from pedophile priests in the clergy, yet another forbidden subject.  No speaker at either convention addressed the four+ year drought in California, or the dying Colorado river.  They never want to address real issues that affect everyone every day, just fear & loathing.  Nothing Changes.

How about your soul, your spirit, did any politician bring that into the dialogue?  Nope, they prefer to distract us from thinking about our soul, and how much more of this insanity our spirit can take.

As I predicted in a recent post, cop assassinations are now happening almost every day since the RNC convention opened.  It's happening so frequently it almost certainly is a planned orchestration; designed to keep the fires of racism burning like a running fuse. 
Is it possible that the elites are intentionally ramping up towards the declaration of martial law?  It's a distinct possibility because it's a certain way to keep the powers that be in power and in control...control over us, not to put too fine a point on it!

All politicians speak with glowing admiration for "Our Veterans" when they want to send even more young men into harms way to die for Exxon & Standard oil; or when they want to appear patriotic; but how about when vets survive and come home to resume life.  The flip side of that coin isn't nearly so shiny!  You may recall the ongoing scandal with the Veterans Administration, after more than 40 vets died waiting for an appointment!  Well folks, I AM a Vietnam veteran who has dealt with the VA for many years.  Let me just tell you a few things for the sake of clarity. 

The VA is designed to be ineffectual, slow and archaic.  Their mandate is NOT to help as many vets as possible; but rather to delay having to pay disability & medical claims for as long as possible.  The VA has many tricks to make this happen, and the very worst is their computer system.  Oh the system is modern enough; but the VA policies allow no files to be added by any mass storage device, (USB flash drive, Fax, scanner, etc.)  Another particularly nasty trick is the VA refusal to let vets communicate with their doctor or psychologist via phone, email or any other means except an in person appointment.  By slowing down the speed at which information intake is done, the VA holds onto taxpayers dollars as long as possible...while vets die waiting to be seen.

In my own case, the VA denied my claim for disability benefits a total of four years before finally giving in and approving my claim.  The law said they owed me 4 years back pay for denied benefits, but in the end they stiffed me, only paid for 2 years.  Cheap greedy bastards. 

Money isn't the only reason for the criminal neglect from the VA, as always there are ulterior motives; and in this case they show their true colors.  Think about it for a minute: You could fill several sport stadiums and more with just veterans from our various wars of conquest.  If they ever became healthy and politically organized, the veteran population at best would be a voice the elites don't want the people to hear, and a powerful voting lobby.  Veterans know which dirty deeds were done, and where the evidence and bodies are buried; and if angered would represent an armed & trained military force within the country.  A military force of angry vets demanding justice is something they have faced in the past, and they don't want a repeat scenario now.

Once in the VA 'health care' system; the policy is heavy medications to subdue the symptoms, with little or nothing being done to help the tormented soul having those symptoms.  When you add that to criminal obfuscations & delays is it any wonder a veteran commits suicide 22 times a day?  This is a national disgrace, simple as that.  The VA spends millions yearly on absurd outdoor artwork at their many locations, including a 2 million dollar rock!!  The VA facility I go to turned 2 acres of prime parking in front of their brand new building; into a peace garden full of no trespassing signs.  Great, they give us a peace garden we're forbidden to enter; then force us to walk 65 yards to the front door.  Perfect, just perfect!

Ever wonder why it is that every presidential election we can only have two people to choose from, and they're both greedy criminals, or a criminal and an oaf, or variations thereof?  Despite all the vitriolic rhetoric from both 'parties' and despite all the flowery talk of hope and the American dream; nothing changes.  Back when we still had a few honorable people in politics some of them tried to tell us, tried to warn us; but we did not listen, we did not care.   It could be that we are about to learn the price of all that upwardly mobile apathy.
