As i have been on the planet for some time, i have noticed something about change. that’s the great thing about old people. Well to be honest most old people don’t even want to be old either, so we forgive the first instinct the young have to disregard us. I mean look, we remember being young, and i see now how much of it was burning fire to do…but what?
Well …survive, and reproduce, play in the sun, enjoy the golden drought of youth. Memories? Yes, but remember too, we DID this already. We survived, and reproduced, and lived youth, middle age, and more. And we’re here. So yeah, i understand the first instinct, but i sure hope to hell it’s just that. Noted, and dismissed. Because the gifts old are the treasure of something you can never have until you are old. The lessons of life. Age makes noone intelligent, learned, or sage. It doesn’t hurt though, to add time and life learning to whatever we bring to the pot.
I started thinking about this while glancing at an article discussing Hillary Clinton’s path to prominence. Just enough i read, to see the admirable listing of all those obstacles she had to traverse, and how it wouldn’t be possible to do that as a feminist, etc. I just can’t read another explain away rubbish piece excusing her actions. The benefit of age, is that i can watch things the young have hardly learned to look for. I’ve watched me, and the world for a long, long, time. If anything i have learned, is that when the chips are in, you become who you are. This is not a form of temporary insanity, you meet what you will do for what you want.
Almost all of us have done of said something which falls far short of our goals and standards. The failures i remember easiest are the ones I’m ashamed of, to be honest.
So what does that have to do with time? Well i’m watching an entire couple of generations fall into total fucking bewitchment over the advent of the technical revolution which has swept outworld like a wildfire out of control.
As applied to news, we are witnessing a total revision of the structures and processes applied to the creation, collection, and dissemination of news and media. What has not changed is that with the acceptance of this technical revolution, you agree to let whomever is responsible for shaping the news, shape the world view for you, and your loved ones.
I don’t see any increase in the democratic right of the people to be the press. It could be argued that it has to be taken, not given. Fair enough, so let me say then that i don’t see any increase in the ACCESS to the news media taken up by what i would call “THE PEOPLE”. I don’t see anything at all which gives me a voice, for if ANYONE can shut it down, shut it up, with impunity, then i say there is no freedom of the press, so long as the press decides who is press. None at all, because you are still only tasting what someone wants you to eat.
AS for Hillary Clinton, OK, i understand why she might get a bit masculine, fighting her way through the shit of politics, but that doesn’t explain why the shit of politics STICKS so well to her. Ambition in no way implies the propensity to corrupt. A hard fight doesn’t excuse or even engender dishonesty. Those are character flaws. The kind of what kind of stuff you will do in a crunch flaws. Politics is ALWAYS a crunch. So she gets no pass for fighting hard, because we all have fought hard, it’s just how shit is sometime. It’s what you will do that makes it an easy or hard thing to remember.
Listen, it’s not like she is even apologetic or ashamed of herself. To her it only matters of she wins. Noone is above sacrificing. No lie becomes one too many. The level of disregard for her duties is staggering. To use office for private gain of stellar proportions, it buggers speech. Hopefully not action, praygod, hopefully not.
No my friends, you are being bambozzled by the same old folks who have been around forever. They are COUNTING on your disconnection from your heart, hours and years spent in a machine, hopefully you’ve become one, enough to always question your feelings, better yet, don’t have any. Just cut yourself, and take a pill. Or die, whatever, your choice.
The travail of ambition gives absolutly ZERO to moral failings. Dishonestly should not be excused. Hell it’s not even acknowlegded. Not by her, by YOU! What do you think she will consider before sending those she does not respect to a fiery death? Not their sacrifice for sure. They are deplorables. The ones to hate. The ones who can die. Whether from poverty, or illness as long as they produce and consume, to the profit of others, that is the measure of their value.
Them with coin, they are of us. So be clear on this. You’re not being shilled, like a good natured fleecing, you’re being set up to slaughter or servitude, probably both. I’ve seen good, in the eyes of children, and imbeciles. I’ve seen it in lovers and friends. It can be found in flower and creature, all beings alike.
The struggles of life don’t entitle us to lie, cheat, steal, and hurt. They don’t allow us to divide because it’s only gain is to conquer. Hard work is not the excuse for why it is OK to steal and twist the lives of others. Any soldier will tell you, facing death together makes all men brothers. When you rely on each other lies fall away. They have no place on the altar of life.
Hillary despises the military. She sure doesn’t hate war, just the ones who come back with pair in their eyes, the truth on their tongues, a story to tell, and peace in their hands? Maybe it’s that they come back with wide eyes, and when they can finally shut them god willing and rest, when they speak they say that righteous wars are one in a thousand, if any. They will say that which ever master wins, is no matter, because you have been fighting for money, and not yours. Your value has been tallied against what you could have provided and you have been found wanting. Goodby. So how are the survivors to feel.
Guilty for living is what i hear burdens some. If not, great, but remember that the best reason to live, is to live. It’s surely not the military she fears, they will do her bidding, if she can but ascend. It’s the survivors, eyes stripped of veils, whom she despises. Unless you join her in the politics of harvest. Money is coin which never loses value. It’s an automatic buy-in, alas, by necessity a small club. The rich now just buy countries together it seems, and jet set around within that ultimate safe space, called wealth. They know you’ve seen it, because THEY made you want it. Too bad the success rate of unlimited wealth is only 1%.
For those who will do ANYTHING to “win”, the earthly rewards are mighty. Comfort beyond measure, content beyond imagining. The unfortunate thing, is the rich cannot enjoy it. Having long forgotten contentment, burnt utterly in the fire of ambition, they wander unfulfilled, tasting everything, enjoying nothing. a life wasted having, getting, owning, everything. Poor creatures. I wonder, what is the humane thing to do?
Perhaps “everything farms” where they were reconditioned to the value of work? No, i think that’s been tried. Anyway, you need not be seduced by the novel nature of your world as you watch it unfold. You need not turn away from truth to live. It’s the only thing which will allow you to survive. It matters not one whit, if you win, if you have to lie cheat to do it.
Do not excuse Hillary Clinton or any politician for lies, or you will lose the truth. Do not pardon them for corruption, or you will have naught proud to give your children. If you elect her, or those of similar ilk, look to noone for your demise, as there will be corruption in this country such as we’ve never seen. What she’s finally been caught with, finally after all this time, it is so fitting, that PRIDE, that most male of qualities, should be her downfall. Although ALL should be accountable equally, we should make distinction for what we ourselves might have done, for however much or long we might have succumbed.
