Looking again at how freedom can be a challenge along with the nature of mankind through the lens of Dostoevky’s book “The Brothers Karamazov”
Can the general human experience at this time be truthfully called fulfilling?
Do we even know what a fulfilling experience is?
In this episode I will share something that is personal about me. However, there is a purpose for me in doing so. In going forward with our investigations there is something that must be made aware of in order for us to be in the right condition to look at these things. If one isn’t in the right overall state then these things can and will cause major harm. One doesn’t even have to study these things to be in peril. A person could just merely be influenced by them subconsciously and still be in harms way. Which is why we will look at them; in order see how these things influence society. But we will do it from the right foundation so that we are protected.
The Constitution for the United States of America is not a document designed with the intent to show us how to be free. It is designed to be a protection for the people while they learn how to be free and after they become free. It is a road and not the destination. ------- Well, if that's the case, how can freedom be manifested? What is freedom? How do we get there?
A reminder of the opportunity sitting before mankind at this time. An opportunity which mankind has rarely seen throughout it’s history. A reminder that the United States of America is a mission to bring this opportunity out of the abstract and into substance.
Fear will lead to bondage. The people have already embarked on that path. The sides are being drawn amongst the people. There will be no winners among the people if this conflict gets out of hand. We can still turn around and abate this by acting as people composed of individuals and not as “the masses”.
This episode was recorded a few hours before the impeachment trail of Donald Trump which will take place in the senate. It is a quick look at some key points and factors associated with this event.
Part two of looking at the situation happening in the financial markets associated with the short squeezes in various stocks. Other aspects that are involved in these events that were not covered in the previous episode are examined here. This is designed to put into view the long term picture and to give alert to a few pitfalls.
Right now some hedge funds and some financial institutions are very uncomfortable. That’s due to a group of individuals who are buying against their manipulative bets in the stock market. Meanwhile platforms and trading apps are shutting out these individuals from buying the stocks involved in these situations. Or is it really something else that’s doing that or a combination of two or more entities. Does the government through the SEC have something to do with it? This is an explanation of the scenario that’s playing out at the current moment with some details that are not known by most people. Details that could clarify what these institutions are doing in reaction to what’s happening.
The U.S. Capital building was breached during the joint session for counting the electorate votes for President of the United States.
Was it a good move? Did that action preserve the Constitution and the cause of the republic? Was ANTIFA involved? Does it matter if they were?
Let's take a look.
An illustration but also a solution to the current conditions in America and in the world. It sounds simple, but if you really try, starting at the first and most important step you'll see that it's not so easy. Great things, though very possible, don't come cheaply or with ease.
Can we, humankind, pull this off?
History has been repeating itself. Here is one reoccurring scenario.
(this is not about politics but about something that encompasses it and other things)
A follow up and a clarification of the previous episode and of its purpose. Not to be on any side of any of the two candidates but to uphold and honor the Constitution of the United States of America. While also helping to defuse a ticking time-bomb that could explode in January of 2021.
The general election came and went; or did it? Something may have happened under the radar while everyone was focused on the Presidential race that has the potential to destroy our republic in the future.
Why is it in America the passion and fear of the people rev up very high during an election? What is going on underneath the hood to cause the American people to be at each others throats during election time? Why are presidential candidates promising the moon to the American people when they know they can't give it? Are presidents required to give directly to the self interest of the people?
On what grounds should presidents be elected?
There are characteristics that has been engrained in mankind's overall personality which have effected men & women throughout history while playing key rolls in the formation and running of many, if not all, societies. Let's take a look at some of the main ones.
Both the Republican and Democrat political parties are not contributing to the health of the American individual. They are in their current states eroding the concept of individual sovereignty. Here are some explanations of how this is so.
A continuation from the previous episode but this time we look at the events that sparked the protests. Also we dive into why the protestors have a strong valid point. At the same time we uncover possible solutions to the plight of black people in face of certain issues. Solutions which can be used by all individual sovereignty loving people of America.
As with any event a proper vetting is recommended before one participates in it. Here is a background check on the movements/actions that have taken over the protests of the death of George Floyd in large cities across America in the spring of 2020. Also of other organizations and ideas whom these movements/actions say they are against.
Has science been turned into a temple of faith? In recent times it has. Why is this dangerous to a free and sovereign people?
In todays climate it is common to disrespect an enemy. That may not be best way, depending on ones goals, to achieve the desired outcome. Most of the time this ill conduct pushes the destination further away while making the road towards it more treacherous.
The next step in a cumulation of government overreach is being proposed by some states; a more refined surveillance system.
A presentation against the case of the American people needing a figure to make them feel safe during the pandemic and the policies that go along with having someone or some institution provide all of the answers in a crisis.
Is the current solution the best one for this unprecedented time? Are there alternatives? What should we chose? It depends on our philosophical backdrop. Currently America is straddling between two polarities. However they are applied in ways where on one large section of Americans both polarities cause tremendous stress, fear and anxiety while providing a pressure release for another part. Is this dynamic sustainable? Can it be used again in another crisis and continue in times of stillness? Should America ultimately commit to one of these philosophies? Which one? It depends on our wisdom and character.
This is a freeform discussion dealing with the outcome of government. In most cases its usually ends up in the same place but during the early American Republic the government was kept in check. How was that possible? What is the usual outcome of government in most other cases?
The second part in our look at the conditions that led to hardship during the pandemic of 2020. This section will be focused mainly on the economic system of the United States.
Here we discuss the conditions that led to a difficult pandemic.
Part one takes a look at the state of health in the majority of the world's population and how it became that way.
