October 3, 2023- More than one child said they were just plain tired- of the smoke from “prescribed burns”, of someone else getting the “last” of a lunch item, or choosing a book they wanted, ahead of them.
More than one adult said they were just plain tired- of the smoke from “prescribed burns”, of people, with agendas contrary to the best interests of children, holding sway.
I am just plain tired- not so much of the smoke from “prescribed burns” (late autumn wildfires are far worse), as from the all-too-transparent schemes of those who think they know exactly how to create a perfect society-just quash the dreams of the common people, and of the rising generations and make everyone toe the line. If people start to catch on, the wire pullers have a plan for that, too-just blame the “other side”.
We, at the ground level are beginning to see that there is no other side-save the puppet masters; indeed, some of us have seen this, for a good long time. My third and fourth grade teachers taught us to reduce fractions to lowest terms. A professor in Graduate School taught us to resolve matters at the lowest possible level. “Keep it simple” ( I will dispense with the odious term ‘stupid’) was something I only mastered late in life, but I’m there now. The more someone tries to complicate things, the more likely it is that a nefarious agenda is afoot. The more someone tries to deflect attention away from themselves, the more likely it is that there is a serious offense being hidden.
Keep an eye on those who are taking advantage of chaos-they may very well be the ones creating it, in the first place.

Oh, I think you’re absolutely right that those creating chaos are the ones who hope to benefit from it! I hope it gets resolved quickly! What a mess!

It’s the same old “Create a crisis, then rush in with a solution”. This has been done by bad actors on both ends of the political spectrum, for many years. People are waking up and smelling the skunk cabbage.

Except that this time the creators of crisis don’t have a solution!

They have Project 2025, a template for installing a One-Party government. It’s a frightening read.

I googled Project 2025 — it is frightening — and what’s even more frightening is that, as much time as I spend watching news casts, I had never heard of this. There should be mention of it every day on some of the ‘shows’ on MSNBC, for example!

There is a mindset (I use that term loosely) that holds “It can’t happen here!”-even after all the turmoil of January 6, 2021-and the misuse of the appeals process, ridiculous efforts to make Trump the Speaker of the House and the promises that senior members of the United States Armed Forces will be subject to execution, if Trump is re-elected next year. It can happen here, all too easily.

That mindset is part of the problem — if people are lax enough to believe it can’t happen, it very likely can. There’s a saying aboaut “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.” I believe that Trump and his “base” have already fooled the country at least once, and we all need to be on guard against a repeat. I definitely believe that everybody ought at least be aware of Project 2025 in order for the country to guard against it! Thanks for mentioning it!
